The elevator doors chimed, and Cheng Jin, having completed the discharge procedures, came over to fetch Shen Jianian. From a distance, he saw her talking to a frail woman and paused, not wanting to disturb them.
Shen Jianian noticed Cheng Jin waiting and decided to say goodbye to Zhou Ruo.
"Little Nian..." Zhou Ruo noticed she wasn't speaking, assuming she was still holding a grudge over the slap from the previous day and wasn't willing to tell her anything. "What will it take for you to tell Auntie?"
As she spoke, she grabbed Shen Jianian's hand and moved it towards her own face to slap herself.
Shen Jianian was startled, quickly withdrawing her hand to avoid actually hitting her. She composed herself and said, "Ah Che did call me that night."
Zhou Ruo stood frozen, eyes full of hope as she looked at her. "What did he say?"
"He said for you to take care of yourself."
