The Mad Heiress Played Innocent, and the Third Master Fell Hard - Chapter 34

Before leaving, Lu Yichen went to the garden for a look.

The butler accompanied them.

Jiangxi stood in the living room, watching Jiang Yuhuai’s retreating figure as he went upstairs.

He then asked Jiang Dong in a low voice, “What’s wrong with the young mistress?”

He hadn’t returned when the checkup was conducted.

Jiang Yuhuai had already given a firm order.

Yu Guiwan’s situation must be kept confidential.

No one is allowed to tell.

Jiang Dong glanced at Jiangxi. Jiangxi was now following behind Yu Guiwan, and it was only a matter of time before they realized this.

He said succinctly, “The young mistress’s physical and mental condition is not very good.”

Jiangxi nodded in agreement, saying, “I see.”

Jiang Dong: “…”

Jiangxi shuddered as he recalled the image of Yu Guiwan choking Yu Mingsheng in the Gu family’s back garden.

All he could say was, “Do these people in the capital have some misunderstanding about the young mistress?”

This misunderstanding is far from simple.

Jiang Dong also thought of it, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

…

Inside the room.

Yu Guiwan finished showering and was drying her hair.

Her gaze fell on the fresh flowers on the dressing table.

Now I truly understand what it means to be a skilled cook without rice.

She sighed, draped the towel over the chair, and picked up her phone.

Wang Shengye, who lived in the small villa next door, was unaware of the Gu family’s affairs.

He sent several messages asking how the beating was going.

Yu Guiwan opened the input box and slowly began to type.

“It was quite satisfying.”

Wang Shengye had just seen the message and didn’t know how to reply for a moment.

Yu Guiwan’s second message arrived.

“Help me pick up some things from somewhere tomorrow.”

Wang Shengye sat up straight. “Where to?”

Yu Guiwan sent an address directly.

It is the address of the Beijing International Financial Center.

Wang Shengye wrote down the address and muttered to himself, “Could it be that Sister Wan has secretly built up some new empire outside?”

Yu Guiwan dried her hair and was just about to go to sleep.

There was a sudden knock on the door.

She paused for a moment, then threw back the covers and got out of bed.

The door opened.

The man outside the door fixed his gaze on the girl.

He paused for a moment, slightly taken aback.

The girl’s long, smooth hair was casually draped over both sides of her face, and her small face seemed to be flushed.

At first glance, someone who didn’t know better might think that Jiang Yuhuai had done something to her.

Yu Guiwan rested her hand on the handle, looking at him with no expression.

Jiang Yuhuai snapped out of his daze, chuckled, and handed over the small bowl in his hand.

“I haven’t taken my medicine yet.”

Yu Guiwan lowered her eyes, not having had a chance to accept it yet.

The man extended his other hand, and on his clearly textured palm were several candied fruits wrapped in oil paper.

The air seemed to be tinged with a sweetness.

Yu Guiwan paused for a moment, took the small bowl, and downed the entire bowl of medicine in one gulp.

Then, with a swift movement, the oil paper and candied fruit fell into her hand.

A faint tingling sensation remained as my fingertips brushed across my palm.

Jiang Yuhuai’s brow twitched slightly, his fingers curled, he loosely clenched his fist, and gently rubbed his fingertips together, as if savoring something.

He smiled and held the empty bowl, saying, “Go to sleep early. Your teacher, Ms. Ling, will continue to teach you tomorrow.”

The classes were suspended these past two days because Grandma Wang and her family came.

Yu Guiwan: “…”

She closed the door expressionlessly.

With a “bang”.

The butler, who was waiting at the bottom of the stairs, watched as his young master was locked out.

He silently lowered his head.

Jiang Yuhuai chuckled lightly, showing no anger.

His gaze fell on the bowl in his hand, and his eyes darkened.

The man lifted his foot and walked towards the stairwell.

He handed over the empty bowl, saying, “Have the kitchen make chestnut porridge again tomorrow morning, with extra chestnuts.”

Yu Guiwan had a poor appetite, but she clearly liked the chestnut porridge tonight.

The butler took the bowl, bowed respectfully, and said, “Understood.”

“Go down.”

“yes.”

…

The next day.

When Yu Guiwan came downstairs, her usually well-behaved face showed a noticeable increase in irritation.

Neither Jiangdong nor Jiangxi dared to say much.

Jiang Yuhuai sat at the dining table, dressed in a suit.

There were several peeled eggs on the small plate next to him.

Jiangxi skillfully pulled out the chair.

Yu Guiwan said thank you and then sat down.

Jiang Yuhuai placed the eggs beside her.

“I’m going out today. If you’re bored after class, Jiangxi can take you out to play, but don’t go out alone. If you get lost, I won’t be able to find you.”

Yu Guiwan’s mood improved considerably when she saw the chestnut porridge in front of her.

Hearing that he was raising her like a daughter again, she didn’t hold it against him.

She reached for an egg, but before bringing it to her mouth, she suddenly dipped it in soy sauce first, then took a bite.

The salty taste filled my mouth again.

She mumbled a reply, “Okay.”

Jiang Yuhuai couldn’t help but laugh when he saw her cheeks puffed out.

“Wanwan, you have to study hard today too. If you behave well, you can watch an extra episode of TV series this afternoon as a reward.”

Yu Guiwan thought about it and realized it was quite a good deal.

She nodded readily, “Okay.”

Jiang Yuhuai finished breakfast with her, patted her head, gave her a few words of advice, and then got up and left.

Jiang Dong followed behind him.

Holding the milk, Yu Guiwan slowly turned her head to look at the two figures hurrying away.

Jiangxi noticed her gaze and said, “Master is going to a company meeting. Today is the shareholders’ meeting.”

Yu Guiwan gave an “oh” and looked away.

She used the table as a support to get up and walked towards the living room sofa.

Why haven’t you been to the company these past few days?

Jiangxi has also asked Jiangdong today.

He paused for a moment, then gave Jiangdong’s answer.

“It seems like she took a few days of honeymoon leave?”

Yu Guiwan suddenly stopped in her tracks.

In just a second, she raised her hand, took a sip of milk, and continued walking to the sofa to sit down.

Jiangxi was completely baffled.

I didn’t dare ask any more questions.

…

Jiang Group.

Jiang Yuhuai took the private elevator from the underground parking lot to the top floor.

As soon as I came out, I ran into Jiang Yaoan, who was also there for a meeting.

Jiang Yao’an put his hands in his pockets and looked at him nonchalantly.

“Hey, isn’t this Third Brother? What brings you to the company today?”

Jiang Yuhuai’s face remained expressionless.

He stopped and looked over indifferently.

Jiang Yaoan was already used to his attitude and chuckled lightly, “I forgot. I forgot that today is the shareholders’ meeting. As the president of the group, my third brother naturally has to attend.”

Jiang Yuhuai remained silent.

Jiang Yaoan walked over and stopped beside him.

He turned his head to the side, looking at Jiang Yuhuai’s clearly defined face.

“You should enjoy this CEO position while you still have it. If you get fired one day, you won’t be able to sit in it anymore.”

Jiang Yuhuai raised his eyes. “You really want to sit?”

Jiang Yao’an paused, “What do you mean?”

Jiang Yuhuai raised his hand and patted his shoulder, “Thank you for your hard work, Second Brother.”

Jiang Yaoan: “…?”
