Chapter 122: Chapter 122: The Reporter

"Handle your own matters." After saying that, Ye Han suddenly stood up and ran upstairs, leaving Lu Zhiyuan alone in the empty living room, sighing...

The next day, as dawn barely broke, Zhuang Shuqing was startled awake by the slamming of a door. She got up only to find Lu Jinyang nowhere in sight. That’s when she remembered that he mentioned leaving today.

In the empty house where only she remained, she wrapped herself in a blanket and lay back down on the floor, but she found herself unable to fall back asleep.

After tossing and turning repeatedly, Zhuang Shuqing, no longer able to bear it, sat up and started packing up.

Since Lu Jinyang was not around, she could completely move back to her own apartment. Subconsciously, she did not want to stay alone in someone else’s place, especially a place filled with the traces of their life. It wouldn’t be too much trouble for her to come back when he returned.

Zhuang Shuqing didn’t realize that her decision to go home wasn’t just to go home, but carried with it a sense of escape.

By the time she finished packing and was ready to leave, it was already broad daylight.

Knock knock knock~

The sound of knocking startled Zhuang Shuqing, who frowned instantly, her first reaction being that Lu Jinyang had returned. She quickly opened the door, pouting, "Did you forget some..."

Her voice cut off abruptly.

Faced with a hallway crammed with people and cameras, her instinct was to shut the door. However, the people outside were prepared; they quickly stuck a foot in at the moment she tried to close the door, successfully blocking it from shutting.

Zhuang Shuqing, undaunted, stepped down hard on the foot, grinding it a few times until it retracted from the pain.

With quick hands, she pushed the door forcefully, and it shut successfully.

Behind the door, Zhuang Shuqing’s eyes were as cold as frost, her face dark enough to drip water.

To her surprise, there were so many journalists outside!

They seemed to have been entrusted by someone, staying quietly in the corridor without making a sound.

Her gaze growing colder, Zhuang Shuqing took out her phone and dialed security’s number, which she had secretly noted down at the time when Lu Jinyang was injured, in case she couldn’t deal with Lu Jinyang and needed help.

The moment the call connected, without waiting for a reply, Zhuang Shuqing said, "When did your job at the gate become so relaxed? We pay so much money for your services, and yet early in the morning, you let so many journalists appear at my doorstep?"

Caught by surprise, the other party quickly apologized and said that they would immediately send security over.

After hanging up, Zhuang Shuqing’s eyebrows were still not relaxed. She didn’t know whether these people were targeting Lu Jinyang or her. If it was her, then those people must have specifically waited for Lu Jinyang to leave before coming over.

But if it was Lu Jinyang...should she inform him about this?

Soon, security arrived to drive the people away, and they even apologized to Zhuang Shuqing face to face, hoping she wouldn’t pursue the matter. Seeing that the person’s attitude was not bad, Zhuang Shuqing agreed to let it go.

After the journalists were driven away, Zhuang Shuqing pulled her suitcase downstairs. After thinking for a bit, she went to the garage and drove off in the new car.

Just in case those journalists were targeting her, walking out in the open would inevitably attract attention. But driving was different; with sunglasses on, no one would recognize her.

The car left the garage, and through the rearview mirror, she saw a few sneaky figures with cameras lying in wait.

The corners of her lips lifted in a cold smirk.

This could only be the work of someone who knew her daily routine and her travel times very well. It seems that person still hasn’t given up.
