As I reached my apartment I saw it was locked, which meant grandma still has not come home, where could she be this late? is she again mad at me for being so busy at work, God, I'll just try calling her, her health is deteriorating these days, what if there was an accident, I dialed my grandmother's number just as she picked up the call, I couldn't contain my worry ,"where're you Ma'am, it's already dark and you're not home yet, don't you know it can be dangerous out there, all by yourself, in that condition of yours", I talked to her in pretty bad tone I guess, is she mad, or she was already mad, God, she is the only person to make ponder if I'm using the right tone or not, looks like she is not willing to speak fine fine I'll give in "okay, where are you, I'll come pick you up right.." , wait, what, did I hear correctly I heard voice of some girl, she is not somewhere dangerous, right? She is so naive, she might even be tricked by those girls , that keeps coming after me, yeah another thing to look out for.
"where are you, grandma?" and she is still not willing to talk to me, "Now you have the time to, even pick me up, you unfillial grandson, I'm not coming home now, I've got better people by my side than you, so don't bother me, you brainless boy" and she hung up the call. At least tell me where are you, grandma, I'm so gonna set this girl straight if she has some pre made plans and is trying to get on grandmother's good books, ugh, let's just call her, where could she go, " the number you have dialed is currently switched off, please try again later." she actually switched her phone off, grandma you sure know, how to kill your grandson without actually killing him right. Let's just find out where she is. Dials another number "hey, secretary Xu, quickly find out where grandmother is." and give me the information about the women she is with and with 10 minutes, well, no actually just 5 minutes, and do it fast", and he hung up the phone, where could she go man. and suddenly his phone rang , and the photo of an old lady flashed across the screen with the name written "grandma" , he receives the call, " if you still care about me, then come the door right next to ours, I'm there enjoying my meal with the neighbors they're pretty good people, and I'm friends with the old lady there, so just come here for the dinner" even after what happened last time, she is still willing to trust those people and they even managed to find us here in this build and I even though we would be safe here, Sigh what can I do "but the foods already here grandma why would you go there? besides they again must be people like last time, sent by dad" naive she may be, but she will understand with this, I guess, and will some back "come or not, upto you, but don't bother me", she really won't listen to me, no matter what, let's just get her back first, I'll see what can be done about these neighbors next. With this, the tall figure threw the door open which flew back and made a bang sound upon closing, 'ding dong..' , it's already been a moments why are not they opening the door.. the door flew open and in front of me appeared a young girl of around 23-24 I guess, wearing loose t-shirt with loose pants, her hairs are braided messily , many strands of hair are standing and some are on her face, she has sweat beads on her forehead, she is wearing spectacles, there is some flour on her glasses, she was the one who is cooking probable, but if she is actually sent by my father, she won't be standing in front of looking like this and looking straight into my eyes, right? a serene voice came, but the man can still catch the nervousness in the calm voice and the naivity in the posture which was trying to appear as imposing but polite at the same time, time has experience has shaped this man, he can see the innocence behind these eyes which are looking straight into his twisted world and trying to pry things out. These clear eyes behind the glasses can't be of someone who is planning something, my experience of all these years says, she is just an innocent girl, so she might not be scheming after all , it might be fine, to let grandma have dinner here. it's not like , I'll let things go beyond this, this much should be fine. "how may I help you, Sir?", these words came out of the girls thin lips, Is she being wary of me, so she wasn't expecting me here, means she didn't knew grandma called me. These black eyes of her, shining, they are inviting but this girl sure is defensive and a bit offensive I guess, Is she taking me to practice her communication skills perhaps, that's what people mostly do I guess, her fingers.. she is nervous talking to a stranger, "I'm Jishan Gu, my grandmother said she is at your place, I'm here to take her home, is she here?", she relaxed finally upon hearing I'm not someone uninvited , she pretended to be tough and strong, well she might have deceived me if I was not experienced enough, while she is as nervous and thinking of what could go south, It can be dangerous if she will let things be seen, by the other party. Regardless, it's not like she has anything to with all these anyway.
