He didn't know how long he had been walking, but Jiang Lan vaguely saw a figure next to a trash can not far away.

She blinked and walked towards the man.

After walking in, Jiang Lan saw that the other person was an old man with a stooped back. She felt a little familiar, so she stepped forward and patted the man on the shoulder.

The old man was frightened and turned around suddenly. When she saw it was Jiang Lan, she breathed a sigh of relief.

The old man took out half of the bread hidden behind his back and ate it in front of Jiang Lan.

Jiang Lan stared directly at the old man, raised his hand to hold her hand, shook his head, and signaled not to eat.

"Do you want to eat too?" The old man looked Jiang Lan up and down, and she didn't look like someone who was short of money.

Jiang Lan put the cake on the ground and gestured: Grandma Zhang, don’t you remember me? I am Jiang Lan.

The old man stared at Jiang Lan's fingers. The street lights cast a layer of light on her fingers, like butterflies dancing in the wind.

After a while, the old man moved his eyes to Jiang Lan's face, and his old voice was a little trembling, "Xiao...Xiao Lan?"

Jiang Lan nodded with tears in his eyes and gestured: It's me, why are you here?

"You have grown so big."

Grandma Zhang sighed with tears in her eyes. She picked up the crutch next to the trash can, walked to the stone steps next to it, and sat down.

Jiang Lan also walked over.

Grandma Zhang used to be a servant of the Lu family and someone close to Grandpa Lu. After Jiang Lan arrived at the Lu family, it was Grandma Zhang who took care of her.

Later, Grandma Zhang fell down the stairs and broke her leg while saving Lu Wanrou, so Grandpa Lu asked her to retire early and go back to recuperate.

Jiang Lan always thought she had returned to her hometown, but she didn't expect to see her here.

She handed the cake to Grandma Zhang, pointed with her fingers and said: Grandma Zhang, today is my birthday, please spend it with me.

Grandma Zhang was startled, and a kind smile appeared on her wrinkled face, "It's your birthday, happy birthday Xiaolan, but it's a pity that grandma has nothing to give you."

Jiang Lan shook his head and said he didn't need it.

Everyone is wishing her a happy birthday, but why doesn't she feel happy...

Jiang Lan sat quietly next to the old man, watching her devouring the cake. She wanted to buy a bottle of water, but found that her card was frozen.

There is still more than 100 yuan in change in WeChat that can be used.

She came back with water, handed it to Grandma Zhang, and asked her what happened.

Grandma Zhang then told her that she had stayed with the Lu family all her life. After her retirement, her son and daughter-in-law used all her savings to buy a house in the city.

Before Grandpa Lu passed away, the Lu family paid her monthly living expenses, and she lived a pretty good life. However, after Grandpa Lu passed away, the Lu family cut off her living expenses, and her daughter-in-law kicked her out.

She is a lame old woman who cannot find a job, so she can only make a living by digging through garbage and selling it.

Jiang Lan looked at the embarrassed old man and had mixed feelings in her heart. Grandma Zhang had worked for the Lu family all her life, but in the end, even food and clothing became a problem.

How sad it is.

When Grandma Zhang finished eating the cake, Jiang Lan wanted to send her back.

Grandma Zhang asked worriedly, "What about you? Wouldn't Master be worried if you don't come back so late?"

Jiang Lan lowered his eyes. He even broke his promise to spend her birthday with her. How could he be worried?

Grandma Zhang saw her disappointment, so she didn't ask any more questions. She stood up with a cane and said, "Let's go then. Don't dislike the shabby place where grandma lives."

On the other side, Lu Jingchi sent Xia Yan home, hugged her and put her on the sofa.

When he was about to leave, Xia Yan pulled him back and said aggrievedly: "Can't you just leave? My body is hurting to death."

Xia Yan's knees and forehead were wrapped with gauze. When she was at the company, she pestered Lu Jingchi and asked him to accompany her to dinner. When Lu Jingchi refused, she ran away angrily.

As a result, she ran into the middle of the road and was almost hit by a car that roared by. She is still frightened to this day.

"Wu Ma, take good care of her." After saying that, he said to Xia Yan: "You should have a good rest at home for a few days. I will come to see you tomorrow."

"What are you going to do so late?"
