Chapter 60 The World Is Complicated
After Ye Shenge tied Xiao Tiantian's hair, she took out a notebook from her bag and quickly wrote down Wan Qiong's home address and workplace, handing it to Luo Hansheng.
Luo Hansheng looked at the paper in his hand and left without asking any extra questions. This satisfied Ye Shenge; she disliked explaining things to people, especially those following her, who were only required to obey orders.
Not long after, Mo Lin also walked over with a bowl of noodles.
"Sister, eat quickly. I also fried an egg for you."
Ye Shenge picked up her chopsticks and slowly started eating. She was surprised that a simple bowl of egg noodles could be made so delicious by Mo Lin, a ten-year-old child. Compared to him, she truly felt like the biggest failure.
"Sister, I've got the key. The person I found also beat up that brat."
Mo Lin's eager expression for praise made Ye Shenge chuckle inwardly.
"Very good. Your main task recently is still to follow Ye Xingguo. As long as he goes to the warehouse in the suburbs, you must remind me. Also, clean out a room. I'll be living here recently so everyone can easily consolidate information."
Today was the day the old man was coming to collect the remaining payment for the house. After finishing her meal, Ye Shenge stayed home and waited. The old man arrived a little after ten, and seeing the door open, he let out a hearty laugh.
"Haha, girl, were you waiting for me?"
Ye Shenge quickly stood up and asked Mo Lin to pour the old man a bowl of sugar water.
"No need to rush, girl. Look at the agreement I've written. If you feel it's not suitable, I'll have someone revise it."
Ye Shenge marveled again at the old man's flowing calligraphy. She had been practicing her writing since childhood but had never achieved such skill, realizing that calligraphy also required talent.
She read through it carefully and found it to be very detailed, even including the guarantor and the address of the old man's current residence, just in case she felt insecure. This old man handled things with integrity.
Ye Shenge also handled things with integrity, taking out the remaining money and handing it to the old man with both hands.
"Old man, this is the remaining money. I'll come find you after I've sorted out my household registration."
Ye Shenge took out a pen, signed her name, and pressed her fingerprint with the ink pad prepared by the old man.
"Girl, I'll be staying in Qi City for another year. Try to get your household registration done within the year, or it will be difficult for me to return if I move elsewhere later. Let's get this sorted out soon so we can both be at ease."
Ye Shenge also wanted to get her household registration, as it would make everything more convenient. She felt more secure only if the house was in her name.
After seeing the old man off, Ye Shenge wasted no time and went to the department store. She desperately needed a few new clothes for this era. The original owner's tattered clothes, washed and worn daily, were simply unbearable.
Ready-made clothes were on the second floor, mostly white shirts and sailor shirts. The pants were either loose-fitting or work pants, with only a few dresses that offered a hint of a fresh look.
With limited choices, Ye Shenge bought two shirts and two pairs of pants, and also bought all the dresses. It was only the white shoes that brought some comfort to Ye Shenge; at least they resembled canvas shoes from her past life.
Such a lavish purchase still drew many sideways glances, but Ye Shenge was no stranger to them. Due to her past illness, she had long become accustomed to the strange looks from others.
The weather was hot. Ye Shenge showered in her space and changed into a clean, white floral dress. Barefoot in her white shoes, she strolled over to Brother Kui's place.
Brother Kui's eyes lit up at the sight of the young girl's attire. This was the girl's true appearance. She was still young, but when she grew older, she would attract much attention, which was not a good thing at her age, unless she had someone to protect her, otherwise...
"Miss Ye, it would be best to conceal such beauty. This world is too complicated."
