Free Web NovelChapter 252: Chapter 252: Little Girl, It’s Me
"Young lady, it’s you!"
The boss’s face lit up when he saw Shen Nian. He hurried over to her, his expression no longer stern as it had been moments ago, but filled with pure, unadulterated surprise.
He Hongming was the owner of this supermarket. He never would have imagined that his routine store inspection today would bring him such a massive surprise.
Boss He’s sudden change in attitude baffled the surrounding crowd. Just a moment ago, they were sure the boss was about to teach that pair of siblings a harsh lesson. How could his attitude do a complete one-eighty like that?
As for Liu Qiang, who had been ready to press his complaint, a bad feeling suddenly stirred in his gut when he saw He Hongming’s abrupt change.
’Why do I get the feeling that young lady knows our boss?’
Shen Nian was also a bit dazed. In this life, this was her first time in the provincial capital. She didn’t know anyone here, let alone the big boss of a supermarket.
But the supermarket big boss in front of her was eagerly running her way, his face full of surprise. Why did he look like he knew her?
"You are...?"
He Hongming knew Shen Nian didn’t recognize him, but he wasn’t the least bit angry. In fact, the smile on his face didn’t even falter.
Meanwhile, Liu Qiang’s bad feeling grew stronger. As the supermarket’s regional manager, he was certainly familiar with his own boss. This was a man who would roar at everyone during meetings.
’For him to be "ignored" by a young lady like this and not get angry... something’s obviously not right here!’
He Hongming couldn’t care less what anyone else was thinking. Right now, his heart was just filled with the joyous surprise of having found this amazing young lady.
"Young lady, it’s me! We met on the train before. You’re the one who saved my father, remember?"
He Hongming stared at Shen Nian without blinking, afraid she would say she didn’t remember.
Hearing He Hongming’s words, it all clicked for Shen Nian. ’No wonder I thought he looked more and more familiar the longer I looked at him,’ she thought. ’We really have met before!’
"Oh, it’s you! Is your father okay now?"
"He’s fine, he’s fine! It’s all thanks to you, young lady. If it weren’t for you, my father would have been in grave danger back then."
"It was nothing, really. Just a small effort."
"I was in such a hurry back then, I only managed to leave you a note. I thought for sure you would contact me, but I never heard anything from you. I can’t believe we’ve run into each other here today!"
The He Family always repays their debts of gratitude. If not for his worry over his elderly father’s condition at the time, He Hongming never would have left such a huge favor unpaid.
He had originally assumed the young lady from the train would surely contact his family, but as it turned out, they never heard a word.
It wasn’t that they hadn’t tried to find her. But in a vast sea of people, without even knowing her name or address, finding someone was easier said than done.
Just when He Hongming had started to think he might never get the chance to repay this favor, he actually ran into the young lady. It was simply fate!
Hearing He Hongming’s words, Shen Nian felt a bit awkward. It was true that she had taken his note, but she’d completely forgotten about it afterward and hadn’t even considered contacting him.
After all, for Shen Nian, saving his father was truly just a coincidence.
"Um, I was a bit busy after I got home, so I forgot."
"No worries, no worries! The important thing is, we’ve met now, haven’t we!"
He Hongming was overjoyed. ’We’ve found our family’s benefactor,’ he thought. ’This time, I have to thank her properly, no matter what.’
But then, He Hongming suddenly remembered—just now, wasn’t there something he was supposed to be dealing with?
