Chapter 907: Chapter 907: The Man in a Black Suit Chapter 907: Chapter 907: The Man in a Black Suit The hillside was very quiet, and after descending the hill, she got on a bus back to the county town.
The county town was much more bustling than the cetery; Willow Wave City was no longer the Willow Wave City she knew.
The year she left, there hadn’t been so many skyscrapers!
Although it couldn’t compare to Landon, it had also beco quite lively.
After Jasmine Yale got on the bus, she silently looked out the window until the bus drove far away.
Throughout the journey, she never saw the Rolls-Royce parked far away.
Nor did she see the tall, young man in a black suit.
The man sat in the car smoking and, shortly after she left, stood in front of the cetery, crushed out his cigarette, and stared intently at the tombstone.
Jasmine Yale ca to the county town for no other reason than to visit her hotown.
Her hotown was slightly on the outskirts, to the north of the county town.
In an old residential area.
After walking for twenty minutes from the bus stop, she finally arrived.
“Girl, who are you looking for?” the old lady across the way asked while she was shelling beans.
Jasmine Yale’s ho was on the first floor, the door covered with a layer of dust and the couplet hadn’t been changed for a long ti.
On a closer look, it was still last year’s.
Had no one been at ho for a while?
When Jasmine Yale heard the voice, she turned around and blinked, “Grandma Connor?”
The old lady stopped what she was doing, stared at Jasmine Yale for a long ti, and shook her head, certain she did not recognize her.
“Girl, who are you? I haven’t seen you before.” Although the old lady was advanced in age, her eyesight and hearing were still clear.
She truly did not recognize this girl.
“Grandma Connor, I’m Jasmine, Jasmine Yale. You still live here?” Jasmine was surprised.
She hadn’t expected that after fifteen years, Grandma Connor would still be here.
By her calculations, she must be over seventy years old now.
Her back was hunched, and she seed much older.
But Jasmine was happy to see soone familiar!
“Jasmine?” The old lady pondered for a while, staring at Jasmine Yale.
Suddenly, her eyes reflected imnse joy and excitent, and she slapped her thigh, getting excited!
“Jasmine, Little Jasmine, it’s really you! I thought you looked familiar. Why did you only co back now? You’ve been gone for more than a decade, haven’t you? I rember you were only eight when you left? Ah, your mother passed away early…”
Grandma Connor prattled on, both sighing and excited.
Jasmine Yale knew that the neighbors all thought she had run away from ho, gone missing.
Nobody knew she had been driven away by her stepmother.
“Yes, yes, it’s .” Jasmine Yale smiled, “Grandma Connor, you are still so lively. Do you live here alone?”
“Yes, living alone. My son and daughter moved to the big city, they only co back occasionally.” Grandma Connor stood up, very enthusiastic, truly surprised, “Co inside, co inside.”
“No thanks, I just ca to have a look. Grandma Connor, do you know how long it’s been since soone ca here?” Jasmine Yale pointed at her house.
“Last year, I think. Last year no one was in your house!” Grandma Connor said, “Your stepmother and stepsister went out to work several years ago, and your father seed to disappear last year. Are you looking for them?”
“No, I just wanted to have a look inside.”
“You might not be able to get in, if you really want to, find a locksmith, after all, it’s your own ho,” Grandma Connor said, “Co sit at my place first, it’s raining outside, isn’t it cold?”
“No worries, I’ll just talk with you outside.”
“Jasmine, I haven’t seen you in over a decade, didn’t expect you to turn out so beautiful.” Grandma Connor admired her, “You’re such a radiant young lady. Where have you been all these years? Has life been hard? So people said you were taken away by human traffickers.”
