The Mad Heiress Played Innocent, and the Third Master Fell Hard - Chapter 24

“good.”

She stood on the stairs and looked back at the man below.

Jiang Yuhuai stood at the top of the stairs, looking up at her.

He curled his lips into a smile, a hint of wickedness in his expression. “Alright.”

Yu Guiwan stared at him for two seconds, then said goodnight with a normal expression before turning and going upstairs.

Jiang Yuhuai stood there, watching her departing figure.

…

Yu Guiwan lay down after taking a shower.

She suddenly remembered something, opened the drawer, took out the medicine hidden inside, and swallowed a few pills.

After putting the medicine away, Yu Guiwan didn’t lie down. Instead, she sat on the bed, her eyes filled with a coldness.

After a while, she took out her phone and sent a message to Wang Shengye, who lived in the small villa next door.

“Have you investigated Jiang Yuhuai before?”

Wang Shengye never falls asleep quickly, and he recovered soon after.

“I checked.”

“We are nothing.”

Yu Guiwan paused, “You can’t find anything?”

Wang Shengye explained, “No, it’s all just the surface-level stuff.”

After learning that Yu Guiwan had gone back with the Yu family, how could he possibly do nothing?

He had investigated Jiang Yuhuai a long time ago, but found nothing.

What you can find are things that most people already know.

The rest, not a single word could be found.

No one can be this clean.

There must be some secrets that are not known to others.

Unfortunately, he was nothing.

I couldn’t find anything.

Yu Guiwan fell silent for a moment.

Wang Shengye asked again, “Sister, did you discover something?”

He knew that Yu Guiwan wouldn’t ask that question for no reason.

Yu Guiwan typed, “Not at the moment.”

She didn’t say much.

Wang Shengye also knew that this was not a good place to chat.

He couldn’t uncover Jiang Yuhuai’s secrets, but that doesn’t mean others can’t.

“Sister Wan, be careful here.”

He always felt that Jiang Yuhuai was not as simple as he appeared.

Yu Guiwan replied, “Okay, I understand.”

She did not reply.

The reason Wang Shengye couldn’t find the information was probably due to his lack of expertise.

His skill level is quite high.

Unless, Jiang Yuhuai has someone around him who is more capable than Wang Shengye.

Yu Guiwan rubbed her sore eyes and slowly lay down.

Suddenly I realized I had nothing in my hands.

Sometimes it can be quite inconvenient.

…

On the other side.

The underground martial arts training room.

“Bang—”

Jiangdong was slammed into the distance by a fierce force.

He clutched his chest as he stood up, coughed with difficulty, and looked in that direction.

The next second.

Another figure was hit.

Jiang Dong glanced at it, then stood up, clenched his fists, assumed an attacking stance, and charged forward.

It didn’t last more than a few minutes.

He was thrown down again.

The same applies to Jiangxi.

The two brothers lay sprawled on the ground, looking disheveled.

They were panting, too weak to even get up.

That’s so embarrassing.

Who would have thought that in the Free State, these people, who were all instructors, couldn’t even last five minutes against Jiang Yuhuai?

Jiang Yuhuai’s eyes remained unmoved; it was as if all that tenderness and doting was just an illusion, something that had never existed.

There was no emotional fluctuation, as if all emotions had been stripped away.

Jiangxi rubbed his shoulders, his face contorted with grief, “Wasn’t Grandpa better? How did he get like this again?”

He lowered his voice, on the verge of tears.

Who would have thought that after having a full meal, I would be dragged here to get beaten up?

Jiang Dong glanced at him, his forehead covered in sweat. “Who said it was okay?”

Jiangxi was taken aback, “Isn’t the master always quite…”

Is this normal?

He was expressionless, head down, pressed against the floor.

Holy crap.

That’s fucking amazing acting!

He almost believed it.

Jiang Dong ignored him.

Actually, at first he almost thought Jiang Yuhuai had recovered.

After all, it hasn’t flared up for so long.

He also saw a gradual emergence of tenderness in Jiang Yuhuai, as if he were truly becoming a normal person.

As long as Yu Guiwan was around, Jiang Yuhuai acted as if nothing was wrong.

They were almost starting to have delusions.

But when he realized that Yu Guiwan was not by Jiang Yuhuai’s side, the warmth on his face vanished instantly.

Jiang Dong knew that Jiang Yuhuai had never changed.

He simply hid this terrible side of himself.

Jiang Yuhuai slowly turned around and slowly tore off the bandages on his hands.

A box, just the right size to be held in one hand, was placed on the ground not far away.

The lid is made of glass.

You can see what’s inside.

Jiang Yuhuai casually tossed aside the bandage, slowly squatted down, and picked up the box.

Inside was a flower with many petals fallen off.

This is something Yu Guiwan accidentally dropped into the flower room.

He picked it up later.

Then it was stored in a box.

I don’t know what method was used, but the petals are still in the same shape as when I picked them up.

The crimson in the man’s eyes slowly faded as he grasped the box.

He remained in a half-squatting position.

After a long while, Jiang Yuhuai slowly stood up.

Jiangdong and Jiangxi also helped each other up and stood not far away.

The man turned around, his gaze unwavering, but at least the crimson hue had vanished.

Jiang Dong breathed a slight sigh of relief.

“Make preparations. I will attend the banquet hosted by the Gu family in two days.”

“A banquet hosted by the Gu family?”

Jiang Dong was taken aback. “Isn’t that Miss Gu’s birthday party? Are you going?”

Jiang Yuhuai casually wiped the sweat from his neck with a towel. “Hmm, take her out to play for a bit.”

Jiang Dong: “…”

Jiangxi: “…”

It’s easy to guess who their grandpa is taking out to play without even asking.

However… the Gu family’s status in the capital is not much lower than that of the Jiang family.

Most importantly, the young lady from the Gu family has always held Jiang Yu in high regard.

In fact, she had long considered the position of Madam Jiang the Third to be hers.

But who could have imagined that Jiang Yuhuai would suddenly agree to the marriage and even take the person to get the marriage certificate?

Miss Gu couldn’t possibly be unaware of this.

Unexpectedly, their master didn’t care about the lives of others just to win a smile from his beloved.

“Yes, I will arrange it immediately.”

After Jiang Dong finished speaking, he thought for a moment and asked, “Should we have someone prepare a new dress for the young mistress?”

Jiang Yuhuai raised his eyes but did not speak.

But their expressions said it all.

Jiang Dong lowered his head. “Your subordinate understands.”

Jiang Yuhuai nodded, “Prepare well.”

Then he threw the towel over, grabbed the box, and left the basement.

Jiangxi waited until Jiang Yuhuai had walked a distance before he couldn’t help but ask, “Brother, is Master really taking the young mistress to the Gu family?”

Jiang Dong hummed in agreement.

“But if the young mistress goes like this… wouldn’t that be like a rabbit falling into a wolf’s den?”

Miss Gu is not a magnanimous person.

If she knew that Jiang Yuhuai had brought his newlywed wife along…

Who knows what else they might do?
