Shen Mingzhu walked up to the counter and knocked twice.

Shen Hongmei, who had been buried in the accounts, straightened up, and upon recognizing Shen Mingzhu, her face immediately lit up with surprise and delight.

"Mingzhu, is that really you? When did you get back?"

"Came back to take care of some things, I'm leaving this afternoon."

While speaking, Shen Mingzhu took a moment to survey the surroundings of the guesthouse.

It was called a guesthouse, but in reality, it was just a two-story red brick house with a total of five rooms; except for one that was occupied, the other four were vacant.

Shen Hongmei picked out the airiest room for her, changed the sheets and duvet cover to clean ones, and whispered to her, "Normally, the beddings are only changed once a month."

Inside, Shen Mingzhu shivered; however, she did not forget to express her thanks.

This drew a teasing smile from Shen Hongmei: "Why stand on ceremony with me?"
