Shui Anluo had been hit. The first thing Qiao Yaruan did after she came back down was to curse at the mother and daughter before scolding Shui Anluo. She has never seen her being so stupid.
Shui Anluo’s head had almost been chopped off by Qiao Yaruan’s scolding but she could only smile idiotically and allowed Qiao Yaruan to vent her frustrations. After all, she did not have any high-level contacts or money so she could only resort to these stupid methods.
Mo Lusu frowned and stared at the empty room. “Where’s Chu Ningyi?”
Shui Anluo paused and shrugged before she replied, “He has some business to attend to.”
“But…”
“My oh my, you’re still not going home? The rain is getting heavier now. Senior Brother, help me to send the Empress Dowager back home safely.” Shui Anluo grinned before she pushed them all out.
Mo Lusu’s expression has not changed for the better. When he arrived at the doorstep, he turned back and looked at Shui Anluo. “If there’s anything you need, call me,” he said gently.
“Alright,” Shui Anluo nodded seriously. She then watched them leave before shutting the door and taking a deep breath.
After Shui Anluo shut the door, she looked back at a still worried Maid Yu and massaged her shoulder. “Maid Yu, go get some rest, I’ll be going to sleep in a bit.”
Maid Yu sighed but she finally nodded and returned to her room.
Shui Anluo looked around at the empty house but she would have to leave this place eventually. Empty or not, that has nothing to do with her.
Maid Yu returned to her room and carefully watched Shui Anluo go upstairs. She then took her phone out and made a video call.
Meanwhile, Chu Ningyi was sitting by the window of a French restaurant with a small laptop on his lap.
“Young Master, Young Master…” Maid Yu cried out urgently before she told Chu Ningyi everything that had happened that day in detail. She criticized An Jiahui and her daughter as she spoke.
Chu Ningyi stroked his chin as he listened to Maid Yu.
“What about her?” Chu Ningyi finally interrupted Maid Yu’s nagging and asked.
“Miss Shui has gone upstairs to rest. You didn’t see it, Young Master, but Miss Shui’s face has swelled up from all the beating.” Maid Yu sighed again. “Besides, Mister Mo and Miss Qiao also came over today. Mister Mo even asked about you, Young Master. I saw that Miss Shui had looked very sad.”
‘Mo Lusu?’
Chu Ningyi frowned and tapped his fingers on the desk.
“Get an early night, Maid Yu,” said Chu Ningyi before he ended the video call. He then connected to Bai Yehan via another video call.
Bai Yehan had just got out of the shower and frowned when he saw Chu Ningyi. “Hey, is there a need for both Third An and you to threaten me just because of Shui Anluo?”
“Any updates on the matter that I’ve asked you to investigate?” Chu Ningyi did not concern himself with his words and spoke straightforwardly.
“It’s almost complete. Shui Anluo has submitted the report about her father’s examination. With the addition of the embezzlement case on An Jiahui that I’ve managed to uncover, these matters are enough for her to be convicted,” said Bai Yehan as he turned his computer on. A report that he had just received appeared on the screen.
“Get a copy of Shui Anluo’s medical inspection testimonial tomorrow and find a few more. Shui Anluo wants her to be locked away for the rest of her life. I’m sure you can do that?”
“Why not add a few more clauses and just have her killed,” scoffed Bai Yehan. This version of Chu Ningyi would do anything that Shui Anluo wanted.
Chu Ningyi looked down and picked up the menu in front of him before replying indifferently, “Won’t death be letting her off way too easily?”
Bai Yehan ended the video call. Those two were certainly husband and wife. They were as two-faced as one another.
