The bus was at three o'clock in the afternoon, and after breakfast, Lin Yan left the hotel with Lu Chenyuan.
Another night without returning home, she missed Ou so much that she decided to cancel her bus ticket in the end.
She would set off in a few days.
Ou was at his grandfather's on Saturday, and Lin Yan took Lu Chenyuan with her to pick him up.
After the last incident, she'd been on the receiving end of numerous calls from Lin Guoping, who kept asking who Lu Chenyuan really was.
At first, Lin Yan brushed it off with a few excuses, but she eventually grew impatient and stopped answering his calls.
When they arrived, as Lin Yan opened the door, she noticed an extra pair of shoes at the entrance.
She recognized the shoes; they belonged to Chu Xiu.
Pressed by life and spending all her money on her child, Chu Xiu dressed frugally, and the edges of those shoes had yellowed beyond cleaning.
