The Mad Heiress Played Innocent, and the Third Master Fell Hard - Chapter 63
The carriage was quiet.
Jiangxi had lost count of how many times he had glanced at Yu Guiwan in the rearview mirror after leaving the police station.
Until Yu Guiwan looked up impatiently, “What do you want?”
Jiang Yuhuai also looked over, but didn’t say anything.
Caught off guard, Jiangxi’s expression froze. “Ah, um, young madam, what is your relationship with Old Master Yang?”
Yu Guiwan remained calm, and without even thinking, replied, “It’s alright.”
The tone was also very matter-of-fact.
Jiangxi: “…”
Jiang Dong also fell silent, “…”
Jiang Yuhuai glanced sideways at the girl beside him.
He paused for a moment before asking, “What…what do you want to eat for lunch tomorrow?”
It was already past 1 a.m.
By the time we got back to Tan Yuen, it was almost two o’clock.
She always needs to sleep for at least ten hours.
I’ve just woken up; it’s time for lunch.
Jiangdong and Jiangxi: “…”
Yu Guiwan thought about it quite seriously, and then named a few dishes.
Jiang Yuhuai nodded. “Okay, I’ll have the chef make it tomorrow.”
Yu Guiwan waited for him to ask.
But to my surprise, he never asked.
Jiang Yuhuai noticed her gaze and looked at her. “Wanwan, what’s wrong?”
Yu Guiwan paused for a moment, then said, “No, I’m just a little sleepy.”
Hearing her say she was sleepy, Jiang Yuhuai glanced at Jiang Dong in front of him, then took out a thin blanket from a hidden compartment and draped it over her.
“If you’re sleepy, take a nap, and I’ll wake you up when it’s time.”
He saw the weariness in her eyes, and felt a little more relaxed.
It seems that the Requiem Orchid is indeed effective.
Yu Guiwan didn’t object and nodded, “Okay.”
Then she leaned back in her chair and closed her eyes.
After a short while, her breathing gradually calmed down.
As soon as Yu Guiwan closed her eyes, the partition inside the car slowly rose.
Jiang Yuhuai quietly stayed by his side.
In the front row, Jiangxi and Jiangdong exchanged a glance but remained silent.
But deep down I was still shocked by everything that happened at the police station tonight.
Especially Mr. Yang’s attitude.
It seems that the rumors about this supposedly incompetent young mistress are just thatārumors.
…
The next day.
The Tan Garden was quiet.
Jiang Yuhuai had already given the order last night.
No one was allowed to enter the main villa before Yu Guiwan woke up.
Even Lu Yichen, who rushed over early in the morning after receiving the news, could only wait at the small villa.
Jiang Yuhuai only appeared after Lu Yichen had drunk a few cups of tea.
He suddenly stood up and looked at the man. “Third Brother, I received news today that someone in the lab offended Sister-in-law and was expelled from the lab. Did you do this?”
In his view, only Jiang Yuhuai had the ability to interfere in the affairs of the Peking University laboratory.
Jiang Yuhuai slowly walked to the single sofa and sat down, stating succinctly, “No.”
Hearing the different answer, Lu Yichen was shocked.
“No?!” He was incredulous. “How is that possible? If it wasn’t you, then who else has this ability?”
Jiang Dong, who came along with them: “…”
Jiang Yuhuai glanced at him indifferently, not intending to tell him the answer.
The Lu family is a family of doctors.
Mr. Lu’s status in the medical field is comparable to that of Mr. Yang.
If Lu Yichen finds out that Yu Guiwan’s relationship with Old Yang is unusual, he’ll probably get annoyed with her.
He would never give Lu Yichen that chance.
Lu Yichen didn’t get any answers.
He was quite disappointed, but not for long.
“By the way, I also found out that among those who were expelled from the lab, it seems that some of them wanted to use the Soul-Soothing Orchid for experiments.”
Jiang Yuhuai frowned. “What kind of experiment?”
Lu Yichen took a sip of tea, quite nonchalantly, “Who knows? Isn’t the effect of the Soul-Soothing Orchid just like its name? Soul-Soothing, I guess those people in the drug research lab want to develop some drugs with similar effects.”
At this point, he suddenly remembered something, “Oh right, I remember yesterday was the day of the underground auction. Did you go to the auction? Did you see the Soul-Soothing Orchid?”
Jiang Yuhuai remained silent, lost in thought.
Jiang Dong then spoke up, “Young Master Lu, the Soul-Soothing Orchid at yesterday’s auction was bought by you.”
“Oh, he took the picture.” Lu Yichen nodded.
The next second, before he could even swallow the water he had just taken a sip, he realized what was happening and spat it out.
“You photographed the Soul-Soothing Orchid?” Lu Yichen stared at him with wide eyes.
Jiang Yuhuai glanced at him and hummed in response.
Lu Yichen looked at Jiang Dong, “How much did it cost?”
Jiang Dong paused for a moment, then replied, “Two hundred and eighty million.”
Lu Yichen almost had a heart attack, āā¦almost three hundred million?!ā
He turned his gaze to Jiang Yuhuai, “Third Brother, what do you need the Soul-Soothing Orchid for? You don’t need it…”
Before he could finish speaking, Lu Yichen belatedly realized what was happening.
He swallowed hard and said, “It’s good, and it’s quite cheap too.”
Thinking of the garden in Tan Garden.
The price of those flowers bundled together already exceeds the price of a single potted plant.
Compared to this, it really is quite cheap.
Jiang Dong: “…”
Jiang Yuhuai glanced at the time; it was almost noon.
She’s about to wake up.
Seeing this, he stood up and said, “If you have nothing else to do, you can go back now.”
Then he lifted his foot and walked towards the door.
Lu Yichen: “?”
He watched the man’s departing figure and asked, “Jiang Dong, is your young master very busy today?”
Jiang Dong said expressionlessly, “At this hour, the young mistress will be waking up soon. The young master is preparing to go back to the main villa to have lunch with her.”
Lu Yichen looked at him expressionlessly, “Am I some kind of unforgivable person?”
Jiang Dong was slightly taken aback, then shook his head, “No.”
Lu Yichen smiled, “Then why did you tell me?”
It took Jiang Dong several minutes to understand what that sentence meant. “…”
He hesitated, then said, “Young Master Lu, you’re not young anymore.”
It’s time to get married.
Lu Yichen simply ignored that sentence.
He got up, intending to leave, but suddenly stopped in his tracks.
“By the way, you should have gone to the police station last night too.”
Jiang Dong nodded. “I’m going.”
Lu Yichen smiled and said, “Then you must know who called Old Master Yang to the police station and removed the person who offended your young mistress from the list.”
Jiang Dong paused for two seconds, then said, “I know.”
Lu Yichen’s eyes lit up. “Who is it?”
Jiang Dong looked at him hesitantly, “Young Master Lu, it’s better if you don’t know.”
Lu Yichen: “…”
He was a little confused. “Why?”
Jiang Dong said seriously, “I’m afraid you’ll be upset.”
Lu Yichen: “???”
What the heck?
What kind of stimulus will he be subjected to?
What else could possibly trigger him?
Jiang Dong shook his head, then mysteriously stepped out of the small villa.
Lu Yichen: “…”
Wait until he leaves Tan Garden.
On the way back to the Lu residence.
Someone called him.
He was a trusted confidant placed in the laboratory by the Lu family.
He answered the call rather casually.
“What’s up?”
The other person sounded shocked. “Young Master, I just heard some news. Professor Song, who was expelled from the lab, is trying to find out how to contact Madam Jiang. It seems that her relationship with Old Master Yang is unusual. If Professor Song and his student hadn’t offended Madam Jiang, Old Master Yang wouldn’t have expelled him from the lab.”
After hearing this, Lu Yichen stepped on the brakes in a daze.
A screeching sound of brakes rang out from the roadside.
His confidant, not hearing his voice, asked, “Young Master? Did you hear that?”
Lu Yichen wiped his bewildered face. “…I heard you.”
