Chapter 1957: One Step, Three Glances

Shu Yu couldn't help but interrupt the two people apologizing to each other.

Meng Han lifted her head and said, "Sister Shu Yu."

Master Gan also turned around, looking somewhat embarrassed. "County Princess, earlier, I..."

Shu Yu quickly raised her hand to prevent him from continuing with his apologies. "Since everything is fine, let's leave it at that. Young Master Gan, you mentioned you need to hurry back to write a letter to Young Master Xun, right?"

"Yes, yes, I shall take my leave." Master Gan's face turned slightly red as he arched his hand towards Shu Yu and then turned to Meng Han, "Farewell."

Master Gan left, albeit a bit slowly. When he reached the door, he turned his head twice.

Shu Yu's eyelid twitched, and she watched his figure disappear. Then, she turned to Meng Han.

Meng Han stepped closer to her, holding her hand. "Sister Shu Yu, is this young man the one who brought the first congratulatory gift on the day of your store's opening?"

On the day of the store's opening, Meng Han was helping out, and since Gan Rui was the first person to enter, she had some impression of him.

On the other hand, Gan Rui was focused on avoiding Chen Qiu while talking to Shu Yu, so he didn't look at other people. Thus, this was the first time he saw Meng Han.

Shu Yu nodded, "Yes, it's him."

"Why did he come over? Wasn't he supposed to be unfamiliar with us?"

Shu Yu briefly explained their relationship, and Meng Han listened as if she were hearing a fantastical tale. "So, there's such a twist in the Chen family's case."

Meng Han only learned about it after the conclusion of the Chen Bing case when the news returned to Chenggu County.

She learned about it from Lu Sanzhu, who tended to exaggerate things. Although he provided a detailed account, the focus was always on himself—how mighty he was, how he fought Chen Bing without retaliation, how he made the Pan family terrified, and how the process was dangerous but full of achievements. As for other important figures like Xun Sheng, he merely glossed over them. Gan Rui, who had helped Xun Sheng and accompanied him to Chenggu County, wasn't mentioned at all.

Moreover, Lu Sanzhu was unaware that initially, Chen Qiu's target was Gan Rui. Otherwise, he would have been much more interested.

Now, Meng Han, upon hearing the story, felt that the Chen family had gone through one dramatic twist after another. Every person involved had their own thrilling tales, making it a truly extraordinary experience.

Shu Yu didn't dwell on Gan Rui's matters further and asked, "Why did you come here? Did you have something to discuss?"

Since the store's opening, Meng Qi had returned home, but Meng Han had chosen to stay in the city. She didn't want to leave and preferred to stay here for a while longer. Additionally, the Meng family's escort agency was currently expanding and recruiting more male workers. Being the only girl, she felt uncomfortable with all the male activity and couldn't stay cooped up in the backyard forever.

"Oh, right, Sister Shu Yu, I was strolling on the street just now and happened to run into Cousin. He said we're setting off tomorrow morning, and he'll come to pick us up. He's already bought the necessary items."

Shu Yu was taken aback; the day after tomorrow was Qingming Festival. Although Meng Yunzheng had already visited his mother's grave during the New Year, Qingming was an important festival, and he wouldn't miss visiting his mother's tomb. This time, with Meng Pei absent, he felt even more compelled to pay his respects to his mother.

This time, Shu Yu would accompany him. Their respective families had met, and they were engaged; everyone knew that they were an unmarried couple. It was the right time for them to make this trip.
