Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
After finishing the cake, everyone went back to their rooms and prepared for what they were supposed to do tomorrow.
Jiang Yining listened to Shen Man’s words and said goodbye to Old Master Lu.
She took a car back to the villa.
Upon arriving home, Lu Zhi hadn’t returned yet.
Jiang Yining understood that he was upset with her.
Well, who wouldn’t be, even if Lu Zhi didn’t say it?
Jiang Yining went back to her room silently. After taking a shower, she lay down on the bed to rest.
On the other side.
Lu Zhi came out of the residence and drove crazily.
After an unknown period of time, he parked the car by the roadside and thought about what Jiang Yining had said. He laughed coldly.
She married him for Lin Yan.
He…
Lu Zhi stared at the dark night sky and fell silent for a moment.
He turned the car around and drove to the city.
When he arrived at his private wine cellar, he called his good friend and asked him to drink with him.
A light night’s sleep.
Jiang Yining woke up at nine in the morning. Her head was groggy as if someone had hit her with a stick.
She walked to the living room downstairs.
She asked the housekeeper, “Did Lu Zhi come back last night?”
“No.” The housekeeper asked with concern, “However, they called from the wine cellar and said that master was there last night. He hasn’t come out for the whole night. He was probably drinking alone. Young Mistress, did you have a conflict with master?”
“I made him angry.”
Jiang Yining felt a little depressed.
“Young Mistress, as the saying goes, a quarrel in the morning may be mended by evening. Please say a few more soft words to master and coax him. He surely won’t be angry with you anymore.”
The housekeeper had always felt that it wasn’t normal for Jiang Yining and Lu Zhi to sleep separately.
But they were deeply in love.
Lu Zhi pampered Jiang Yining to an outrageous extent, so the housekeeper didn’t dare to discuss such matters with Jiang Yining.
Now, the two of them had a problem.
The housekeeper subtly hinted at the issue.
In his view, no matter how angry Lu Zhi was with Jiang Yining, a little coaxing in the bed could surely mend things.
Jiang Yining didn’t take his words to heart. The conflict between her and Lu Zhi couldn’t be resolved with a few soft words. She said perfunctorily, “Okay, 1 understand. 1’11 go to class first.”
“Young Mistress, should 1 prepare something for you to make master happy?”
“Up to you.”
Jiang Yining said absentmindedly.
The housekeeper smiled mischievously. “Okay.”
Jiang Yining couldn’t get herself together after a day of classes.
After class.
Ye Xiaoxi asked her what was wrong.
Jiang Yining paused and didn’t say much to her. She didn’t want Ye Xiaoxi to worry about her.
“It’s nothing.”
Seeing that Jiang Yining was unwilling to share, Ye Xiaoxi didn’t press further.
After the two of them parted ways at the school gate, Jiang Yining walked along the street filled with French parasol trees.
She decided not to return to the villa for the time being.
Lu Zhi must be annoyed by her recent presence.
If she went back, he would probably avoid her.
In that case, she might as well move out.
Coincidentally, the Peninsula Manor that Lu Zhi had recently acquired from the Yuan family had been reclaimed from its previous employer.
She thought it would be a good idea to stay there for a few days.
She did as she thought.
Jiang Yining hailed a taxi and went straight to the Peninsula Manor.
Peninsula Manor.
When the servant saw Jiang Yining, she came over without even informing them.
The servant was surprised but approached politely and asked, “Young Mistress, what would you like for dinner? We’ll prepare it for you.”
“Just make something simple.” Jiang Yining asked calmly, “By the way, the guest who stayed here before, which room did he occupy?”
“The one at the far west on the top floor.”
“Then what did he do? Tell me in detail. Don’t miss anything.”
Jiang Yining was curious about this previous occupant.
However, she didn’t have the time to care earlier.
Right now, her mind was a little chaotic, so she thought it would be a good distraction to focus on something else.
The servant muttered, “He’s very strange. Even though the weather is very hot, he wraps himself up tightly, as if afraid of being seen by others. In addition, he hides in his room and sleeps during the day. At night, when we are resting, he roams around the manor as if he is looking for something.”
“Okay, when you have the time, note down all the places he visited. I want to know.”
“Yes.”
The servant nodded.
Jiang Yining waved her hand, signaling the servant to go back to work and attend to other matters instead of staying by her side.
The servant left.
Jiang Yining followed the clues provided by the servant and walked to the westernmost guest room on the top floor of the manor. She thoroughly examined every nook and cranny in the room. Apart from signs of being searched, there was nothing particularly noteworthy.
This room was quite clean, and it looked like it could not hide any secrets..
