"Achen, if you have time, come over often. I'm retired now, and it's lonely being at home alone. If you can occasionally come and chat with me, that would be great."
"Definitely, if I get the chance."
They reached the door, planning to leave. Zhao Xinmei suddenly said, "Miss Jin, I still have some things I'd like to discuss with you. How about letting Fengnan take you back later?"
Jin Meng hesitated noticeably. She had been tense the whole night and finally had the chance to leave, only to be asked to stay longer. But such a request was hard to refuse, so she nodded, seeing Xia Lu and Zhou Mingchen off.
"Thank you." Once in the car, Xia Lu said to Zhou Mingchen, "I really didn't expect you to step in and help Jin Meng. If it weren't for the things you said, I don't know how tonight would have ended."
"It's nothing." Zhou Mingchen started the car and soon drove out of the Jin Family's house. "I just made a casual remark; whether they believe it or not is another matter."
