Chapter 186 Old Deng’s Home (1)_1
Old Deng didn’t look for Situ Xin, but since he had found such an excuse to leave the house, Situ Xin simply flagged down a taxi at the entrance of the compound and told the driver to head to Zhongnanhai.
When the taxi driver heard Situ Xin mention Zhongnanhai, he just glanced at her in the rearview mirror and then stepped on the gas, hitting the road. This was a taxi hailed within the military compound; had it been outside, the driver would surely think she was either playing a joke or wasn’t right in the head if she said she wanted to go to Zhongnanhai.
Taxis couldn’t enter Zhongnanhai, so, at a place a little distance from Zhongnanhai, the taxi driver stopped the car. "Kid, I can only stop here."
"Oh." Situ Xin knew the rules and, after taking out her wallet from her bag, she handed the driver a big Mao-faced bill, opened the car door, and got out.
Situ Xin must have visited Old Deng at Zhongnanhai quite a few times, and with Old Deng’s instructions, the guards at Zhongnanhai all recognized her and knew she was Old Deng’s honorary granddaughter. Therefore, Situ Xin didn’t need to make any report or show any ID; she was allowed into Zhongnanhai without any obstacles.
Even though Situ Xin didn’t need any documents or notification to enter Zhongnanhai, the guards around Old Deng got the message that Situ Xin had arrived. So, when Situ Xin reached Old Deng’s house, both Old Deng and Old Lady Deng were already sitting on the sofa waiting for her.
"Yo, what kind of wind has blown our Xiao Xin lass over today?" Every time Situ Xin visited Old Deng’s home in the past, it was after she had been invited by Old Deng and Old Lady Deng over the phone. Her uninvited visit this time was a first.
"What’s the matter, Grandpa Deng? Don’t you welcome me?" Situ Xin said with a feigned hurt tone, but she still moved closer to Old Lady Deng. "If you don’t welcome me, then I’ll be off." Saying this, Situ Xin turned her head to look at Old Lady Deng: "Grandma Deng, since Grandpa Deng doesn’t welcome me, I’ll take my leave now. If you miss me, come visit me at my place, will you?"
