Chapter 2583
"Eight months?"
Su Zhiyu exclaimed, "If you want to reach the Dazhao Temple within eight months, wouldn't you have to travel at least eight or nine kilometers every day?!"
Su Zhifei nodded and said, "Eight or nine kilometers is the minimum. When the condition is good and the weather is good, I have to travel more to leave time to stay a while longer when passing by those magnificent natural landscapes."
Su Zhiyu couldn't help but feel heartbroken again, while Du Haiqing on the side turned to her and said, "Zhiyu, let your brother take a good shower. Let's not disturb him."
Su Zhiyu nodded lightly and said to Su Zhifei, "Brother, then you take a good shower first. We'll wait for you outside."
Su Zhifei responded. After Su Zhiyu closed the bathroom door, he took off his tattered clothes and prepared to take a good shower.
However, standing in front of the bathtub, looking at the clear warm water inside, he hesitated slightly before taking his dirty clothes to the shower stall on the side.
He first put the dirty clothes on the floor, then turned on the showerhead to rinse the dirty clothes, and only then began to wash the dirt off his body bit by bit.
Su Zhiyu and her mother Du Haiqing had already arrived at the dining room. The mother and daughter looked at each other, both able to see the complexity in each other's eyes.
After a moment of silence, Su Zhiyu spoke first, "Mom... Brother has really changed too much in the past six months... Many things he said, I couldn't believe it was really him. It's as if another soul had replaced his body..."
Du Haiqing smiled slightly and said with unconcealable comfort, "I told you before that everything in the world has its own destiny. Although your brother was a playboy for the first 20-plus years, it seems now that he is destined to turn over a new leaf."
As she spoke, Du Haiqing added, "After your brother returns from the Dazhao Temple in eight months, his life trajectory might undergo a earth-shattering change. Although I don't know what this change will be specifically, I believe this change will definitely make him better."
Su Zhiyu nodded lightly and sighed, "It seems the suffering my brother endured on this journey was not in vain. If he can walk on the right path from now on, then we really have to thank Mr. Ye for his thunderous means..."
Du Haiqing agreed, "Sometimes people really need to be broken before they can be rebuilt. It's just that some people have been pampered since childhood and protected too well. The people around him couldn't bear to let him experience that breaking process, so we really have to thank Ye Chen."
Su Zhiyu said hurriedly, "Oh, right, Mom. Mr. Ye said he would come to visit after lunch."
Du Haiqing was slightly stunned and asked subconsciously, "Ye Chen is coming?"
"Yes." Su Zhiyu nodded.
"Good." Du Haiqing said with a smile, "It's just in time to thank him in person!"
On the other side.
Ye Chen drove his father-in-law's BMW 530, carrying Ito Nanako to Tang Chen Yi Pin.
The houses at Tang Chen Yi Pin were divided into two areas: villas and high-rises. In the villa area, cars could drive directly onto the ground, but in the high-rise area, considering the relatively dense population, the developer implemented a separation of people and vehicles, so Ye Chen could only drive the car into the underground garage.
Just as he drove into the underground garage, Liu Manqiong happened to walk out of the elevator hall of the underground garage.
Outside the elevator hall at this time, an imported seven-seater nanny van was already waiting here.
Sitting in the driver's seat was Xianjie, the housekeeper of the Zijin Villa, and sitting in the first-class seat on the left of the second row was the eighteen-year-old ancient-style girl, Lin Wan'er.
The second and third rows of the nanny van were covered with very deep one-way privacy film, making it impossible to see the interior from the outside.
The reason why the two of them came to Tang Chen Yi Pin was that they had just accompanied Liu Manqiong to sign a contract at Jin Ling University in the morning. They were originally prepared to return to Zijin Villa with Liu Manqiong for lunch.
But because Liu Manqiong had received a pile of contracts, materials, documents, work badges, access cards, and many customized stationery items from Jin Ling University, she had a whole mess of things.
And these were things Liu Manqiong would need to use in her future work. There was no need to bring so many things back to Hong Kong, which was not only troublesome but also easy to lose or forget, so she suggested that Xianjie drive to Tang Chen Yi Pin first, and she would store these things in the new house here first.
Lin Wan'er originally wanted to build a good relationship with Liu Manqiong, which was why she took the initiative to accompany her to sign the contract at Jin Ling University. But she didn't expect Liu Manqiong to come to Tang Chen Yi Pin after signing the contract. This decision really gave her a fright.
Although Lin Wan'er came to Jin Ling to find Ye Chen, she was not yet prepared to meet Ye Chen, so she was absolutely unwilling to come to Tang Chen Yi Pin.
Fortunately, the back row of this nanny van was very private, so she made an excuse of feeling unwell and sat in the car waiting for Liu Manqiong to come down.
Liu Manqiong came out of the elevator hall, and Xianjie opened the electric sliding door on the right side of the back row. Liu Manqiong stepped into the car and said to the two with a smile, "Sorry to keep you waiting. Let's go."
Lin Wan'er breathed a sigh of relief and said with a giggle, "It hasn't been that long, just five or six minutes."
Liu Manqiong nodded and asked with concern, "Didn't you say your stomach hurt just now? How do you feel now?"
Lin Wan'er said hurriedly, "I feel much better. It should be nothing."
Liu Manqiong smiled and said, "Maybe your period is coming soon. What date is your period usually?"
Lin Wan'er said somewhat awkwardly, "Mine... it's about these two days every month..."
"No wonder." Liu Manqiong looked like someone who had been through it and said with a smile, "You must drink more hot water today, avoid catching a cold, and also avoid strenuous exercise."
"Okay, okay." Lin Wan'er agreed hurriedly and then said to Xianjie, "Xianjie, let's go back quickly. My stomach is already hungry."
Xianjie nodded and smiled, "It will only take us ten minutes to go back. We can eat as soon as we get home."
As she spoke, she started the nanny van, preparing to drive out of the garage.
At this time, Ye Chen had already parked the BMW he was driving in an empty parking space not far in front of the nanny van. Since Tanaka Koichi didn't manage to buy a deeded parking space when buying the house, Ye Chen could only park the car in the temporary parking area specially designated by the property management.
The biggest disadvantage of the temporary parking area is that it is generally far from the elevator entrance.
Therefore, after parking the car, he and Ito Nanako followed the garage's signs to find the location of the elevator hall.
Ye Chen had lived at Tang Chen Yi Pin for such a long time, but today was his first time in the underground garage of the high-rise area. As for Ito Nanako beside him, this was her first time at Tang Chen Yi Pin, so neither of them was familiar with the route and could only follow the address sent by Tanaka Koichi and look for the building number according to the signs.
When the two were walking side by side toward the elevator hall, they happened to face the nanny van driven by Xianjie.
Although it was very dark inside the car, making it impossible to see the situation inside, the view from inside to outside was very clear.
Liu Manqiong saw Ye Chen walking toward her and Ito Nanako beside him at a glance. Because she never dreamed she would encounter Ye Chen, she was shocked and let out an "ah" sound.
Lin Wan'er had just breathed a sigh of relief because Xianjie was about to drive away, but she didn't expect Liu Manqiong to let out a sudden exclamation, which also startled her, as her nerves had been tense all along.
She just wanted to ask Liu Manqiong what was wrong, but the next moment she looked in the direction of Liu Manqiong's gaze and saw Ye Chen walking side by side with Ito Nanako at a glance.
At this instant, Lin Wan'er's expression was incomparably shocked. She immediately closed her mouth and then subconsciously covered her mouth and nose with both hands, fearing that Ye Chen would discover her.
Subconsciously, she felt that no matter what, she could not let Ye Chen discover her.
And at this time, Xianjie had already driven past Ye Chen. Ye Chen outside the car subconsciously pulled Nanako, letting her hide behind him to avoid being hit by the car.
This thoughtful little action of his was seen clearly by both women in the nanny van.
At this time, Xianjie asked subconsciously, "Miss Liu, are you okay?"
Liu Manqiong shook her head subconsciously. While unable to control herself from looking back at Ye Chen's back, she said in a somewhat unnatural low voice, "Xianjie, drive quickly. I'm hungry too..."
At this time, Ye Chen, who was side by side with Ito Nanako, suddenly felt a strong throbbing in his pocket again. He subconsciously covered his pants pocket with his hand, frowned slightly, and thought to himself, "Strange, why is this broken ring acting up again?"
