After my divorce, I became a lucky super-rich person.

Chapter 98 Door-to-Door Visit

Chapter 100 Door-to-Door Visit

In Chen Jiang's view, Shen Meiyu's family was a genuine middle-class family.

Even because several family members work in the police system, their family is considered relatively upper-middle class. However, unlike middle-class families with other professions, their profession means they are destined not to have much money.

So the place where they live isn't some rich neighborhood, it's just the old police family compound, which is already an old neighborhood.

However, just from the name, you can tell who this place is for, so the environment of the community is well maintained, and the people coming and going are obviously very classy.

Even the old gatekeeper who was stopping Chen Jiang's car was clearly no ordinary person. With his hands behind his back, his eyes, which seemed dim under his reading glasses, were surprisingly sharp.

However, when his gaze fell on Shen Meiyu, his sharp eyes immediately softened.

Shen Meiyu smiled and peeked out to greet him: "Mr. Zhou, this is my friend's car. Don't look at it so closely, he's not a bad person."

"Not a bad person?"

Old Zhou shook his head, turned around, and used the remote control to lift the barrier: "They've already lured you away, and they're not even bad guys... Sigh, you little girl, be careful. I think this guy looks like he's got a lot of bad luck with women."

Shen Meiyu rolled her eyes: "Oh, please stop using your amateurish face reading skills to tell fortunes."

"My friend did nothing wrong and you've already labeled him. If you keep spreading these lies, I'm going to tell my Grandma Li and she'll settle accounts with you!"

The old man surnamed Zhou's expression changed, then he snorted and didn't dare to say anything more. He turned around and walked towards his security room, muttering to himself, "Those who don't listen to the elders will suffer the consequences."

'

Shen Meiyu shook her head as she watched his retreating figure, sighing, "Sigh...that old man!"

Chen Jiang watched with some curiosity as the old man walked into the security room, but this was just a minor incident and not worth his attention.

The Aston Martin slowly started up and entered the residential area, moving between the narrow buildings. Its unique car shape was unusual for this neighborhood, attracting some attention.

A teenage boy holding a basketball on the roadside recognized Chen Jiang's car model and blurted out instinctively, "Holy crap! An Aston Martin! This car must cost millions!"

Beside the boy was a tall, middle-aged woman. Hearing what the boy said, she was startled and stared incredulously as the car approached, asking, "Is this car worth millions? So expensive?"

Her son replied matter-of-factly, "Of course it's expensive. Aston Martin is a super luxury car brand. The most expensive car costs tens of millions, and it's a limited edition. You can't even buy one if you want to."

"Really? That's quite expensive."

"Yeah, but there aren't many people in our neighborhood, who could afford this car... Sigh, Mom, isn't that my sister Meiyu?"

"Um?"

The older woman's expression changed immediately upon hearing this. Looking closely at the passenger seat, she saw a familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar face: "It really is her!"

At the same time, Shen Meiyu, who was inside the car, also saw the two people outside through the car window and immediately clicked her tongue in displeasure.

Chen Jiang had naturally noticed the mother and child in front of him long ago, but he didn't pay much attention to them. However, Shen Meiyu's reaction clearly indicated that he recognized them, so he slowed down the car slightly and asked Shen Meiyu, "Relatives?"

"My neighbor! The gossipy kind!"

Shen Meiyu replied helplessly, but she didn't have time to say more to Chen Jiang because the car had already stopped in front of him.

Seeing that the two people were staring at her through the car window, Shen Meiyu could only roll down the window and force a smile: "Aunt Niu, what a coincidence, strolling around here."

"Ah~~ no, it's almost noon, I'll go call this kid back for lunch..." Aunt Niu replied casually, her eyes already eagerly sweeping over Chen Jiang, seemingly curious as she asked, "But you, is this young man your friend?"

"It's my boyfriend, Chen Jiang." Before entering the residential area, Shen Meiyu had already discussed the situation with Chen Jiang and thought of how to deal with various people they might encounter. In short, they needed to confirm their identities first, so that they wouldn't give themselves away in front of outsiders.

"Yo"

"So today is the son-in-law visiting? That's wonderful news! Aunt Niu, you can go home now, don't keep your parents waiting."

Aunt Niu's tone immediately rose as she curiously lowered her head, trying to see Chen Jiang's face clearly. Unfortunately, Shen Meiyu was blocking her view from inside the car window, so she couldn't see him very clearly.

Not wanting to stare at Chen Jiang, he straightened up and said a few words with a smile.

However, he was still a little skeptical, because even without looking closely at Chen Jiang's face, he could tell that Chen Jiang was not bad-looking.

I was a little surprised, and my heart was pounding with excitement to share this with my sisters. I really didn't expect that Old Shen's tomboy daughter would actually find a good boyfriend. Just by looking at this car, you can tell that his family must be rich!

"Then we'll be going now..."

'

Shen Meiyu was also unwilling to talk to her too much.

Although this Aunt Niu had never worked in the police system before, she had been exposed to gossip and was quite skilled at it. It would be bad if she noticed any flaws.

"Okay, okay, don't forget to visit Aunt Niu's house for a while later."

"Don't worry, Aunt Niu, I'll definitely get there..."

'

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the car started moving again.

As Chen Jiang watched the mother and son disappear into the distance in the rearview mirror, he couldn't resist asking Shen Meiyu another question.

"Your neighborhood seems quite welcoming... everyone knows each other."

"In the neighborhood I lived in for several years, I only knew one neighbor, and we weren't very close."

Shen Meiyu nodded and explained, "Yes, this is an old neighborhood, and it's also a police family compound, so we all know each other to some extent. Plus..." She was a little embarrassed as she said this, but she continued, "Plus, I was quite mischievous when I was little, always running around and getting into trouble, so most of the elderly people in the neighborhood know me."

"Cause trouble? What trouble could you possibly cause?"

Chen Jiang said it casually.

"Um... there's no need to go into details..." Shen Meiyu said somewhat awkwardly, because it was her pure embarrassing history.

Before she set her sights on becoming a police officer, she had also taken a wrong turn.

When she was a child, she didn't like watching idol dramas or comic magazines. She preferred watching movies with swords and guns. Later, she became obsessed with the Young and Dangerous series. So she gathered a group of kids in the neighborhood and formed the Phoenix Club. She worshipped Sister Meiyu, the leader of the gang.

She had been running rampant for a while, but then her father accidentally caught her on his way home from get off work, and as expected, she was caught in a crackdown on organized crime and had to be disbanded.

Later, after a lecture from both of Shen's parents, he was finally brought back to the right path... It's really not easy to tell Chen Jiang about these things.

Although she doesn't really care too much about her image and has joked about her embarrassing past with her friends, she doesn't know why she doesn't want Chen Jiang to know about her embarrassing childhood experiences.

"Fine, I won't tell you... Do you live in this building?" Chen Jiang wasn't interested in digging into Shen Meiyu's dark history. Instead, he kept his eyes peeled and alert, because he had a premonition as soon as he entered the community that he was being watched.

Yes, right here.

Shen Meiyu glanced at the car and was about to get out when Chen Jiang stopped her. Then, under her questioning gaze, Chen Jiang pointed to the edge of the rearview mirror: "Don't rush, do you recognize this person?"

"Huh?" Shen Meiyu was taken aback by the question. Then, after looking at the rearview mirror from a different angle, she exclaimed in surprise, "Isn't that my dad? Why isn't he home? What's he doing over there?"

"Nonsense, just wait until you get there."

Chen Jiang did recognize Shen Meiyu's father, because he had been very impressed with this middle-aged leader who had a refined yet sturdy demeanor. Now he had figured out the clue: "Then he probably noticed me, which is why he didn't come out to see you, but followed behind us instead."

"Really... my dad is getting more and more crazy. I'll go call him." Shen Meiyu said helplessly.

"Wait a minute." Chen Jiang tugged at her arm, then, seeing her questioning look, said, "I think if you really don't want people to realize we're faking it, we should start acting now."

"Otherwise, we'd be all polite downstairs, but as soon as we went upstairs we'd be all lovey-dovey. No wonder your dad would notice."

"So when we get off the bus, we'll start, so don't give yourself away."

"This...okay!" Shen Meiyu didn't hesitate much. She was already prepared, so a little more time wouldn't make a difference.

"Good girl!"

Chen Jiang suddenly smiled and reached out to pinch her smooth cheek. Before Shen Meiyu could react, he quickly got out of the car and prepared to take out all the gifts from inside: "I can't carry them all by myself, so you'll have to help me carry some."

'

Touching the spot where she had been pinched, Shen Meiyu hesitated for a second before obediently getting out of the car and walking to the front to help.

Having gathered all the necessary items, Chen Jiang glanced behind him out of the corner of his eye. Seeing that Shen's father still showed no sign of following, he deliberately found an angle, reached out, and took Shen Meiyu's hand, their fingers intertwining somewhat stiffly: "Watch your expression, don't be too fake."

"Um...

.knew..

'

It has been confirmed more than once that Shen Meiyu is not a shy person, especially since she was the one who suggested pretending to be her boyfriend. In her own opinion, she shouldn't be shy at all.

But for some reason, after Chen Jiang intertwined his fingers with hers, she suddenly felt her heart race and her breathing become rapid.

Is she shy?

Are you still nervous?

Shen Meiyu wasn't quite sure, but her mind wasn't working properly for a moment. Like a puppet, she was being manipulated by Chen Jiang into the building.

"Don't tell me you're getting nervous now?"

Her reaction naturally did not escape Chen Jiang's notice, and he looked at her with amusement and asked her.

Don't be silly, it turns out this woman was just bragging. She used the same tricks before, but when she got to her own doorstep, she was so nervous she could barely walk.

"No...no, it's just that I'm not used to it very much..."

'

"Don't worry, give me ten seconds, I can recover."

Shen Meiyu was indeed a little nervous, but it wasn't because she was going home; it was mainly because of her and Chen Jiang's current state.

To be honest, the closest she'd ever been to another man in all these years was when she was catching a thief and pinning him to the ground. Chen Jiang was indeed a bit too close at this moment, so close that she wasn't quite used to it.

However, she realized this and immediately took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and silently counted.

She checked until she reached number ten, then opened her eyes again. Her rapid heartbeat and pulse had calmed down. She squeezed Chen Jiang's hand slightly and felt much better: "Let's go upstairs."

Chen Jiang raised an eyebrow at her, said nothing, and went upstairs.

Because it's an old residential area, there's no elevator, so the two of them have to climb the stairs. Fortunately, the building isn't tall, only six floors, and they live on the fourth floor, so it's not too strenuous.

Upon arriving at the door, she found it to be a somewhat old security door. Shen Meiyu had her key with her and was about to take it out to open the door.

Before she could even reach out, she heard hurried footsteps from inside the door, then the door was gently pushed open, and a tiny child, only a third the height of Shen Meiyu, poked their head out, reaching for the doorknob: "Auntie~~"

"Oh, it's Xiao Nannan!" Shen Meiyu immediately smiled, bent down and picked up the little girl who looked only seven or eight years old: "You seem to have grown taller again!"

The little girl didn't answer her question, but instead looked directly at the somewhat unfamiliar Chen Jiang, who returned her a kind smile.

Fortunately, Chen Jiang didn't look fierce, and he was actually quite likable for children. The little girl wasn't scared. Instead, she stared at him for a moment, then suddenly turned and shouted loudly into the house, "Grandma, my aunt is back with her boyfriend!!"

This sudden shout instantly wiped the smiles off Shen Meiyu and Chen Jiang's faces.

However, there was no time to settle accounts with this little brat, because Shen Meiyu's house was not very big to begin with. Even though the residential compound did not have a shared area, it was only a little over 100 square meters.

Unfortunately, this little girl had a loud voice, which immediately silenced the conversation that was taking place inside the room.

Then came a series of hurried footsteps, followed by three or four middle-aged women who rushed out of the living room and blocked Chen Jiang and Shen Meiyu at the door.

At this moment, even Chen Jiang felt immense pressure being scrutinized by so many people.

Shen Meiyu, of course, was already somewhat swayed by her smile, but she still tried her best to maintain it and took the initiative to greet them: "Um... Aunt, Second Aunt, Little Aunt... you're all here?"

"This is my boyfriend, Chen Jiang. I brought him here to introduce him to you today."

"Hello, Auntie, please forgive my sudden and unauthorized visit..." Chen Jiang was experienced after all, and he was much more confident than before. When it was his turn to speak, he greeted her.

Unfortunately, Shen's mother and the others were still completely bewildered and naturally did not respond to Chen Jiang's greeting, causing the atmosphere to suddenly become a bit awkward.

As her teammate, Shen Meiyu could only quickly change the subject: "Mom, what are you all doing blocking this way? Come inside!"

"Oh, right, right, come in, come in!" These words immediately brought the several middle-aged women who were still in shock to their senses. Shen's mother was a respectable person. Although she was shocked by the boyfriend her daughter had suddenly brought back, she would not stop him from entering the house.

He quickly pulled the others aside and let Chen Jiang and Shen Meiyu into the living room.
