Second floor, drawing room.
Tang Xiaowan had just sat down to drink so water when Wang ijuan closed the door and said mysteriously, "Miss, have you been worrying about money lately?"
Tang Xiaowan: "..."
What’s happening? Was she being spied on?
Just about an hour ago, she had discussed financial matters with her bodyguard, Cheng Shi.
Could Li Zishen have tampered with sothing in my bedroom?
My God, he really is a pervert, that’s too much!
Thinking this, Tang Xiaowan couldn’t help but glance at Cheng Shi beside her.
Cheng Shi: "?"
The man stiffened up as if shocked by electricity.
"Please rest assured, miss. I won’t ever speak of the wooden box matter. No matter what happens, I am loyal to you, to the death, with no second thoughts."
It seed as if Tang Xiaowan had read Cheng Shi’s thoughts. She then slightly raised her eyebrows and smiled.
"What’s wrong, do you want to say sothing?"
"Miss, you really don’t have to worry about money. You have plenty of it, a whole lot."
As she spoke, Wang ijuan took out a bank card and a black mobile phone from her bag, then carefully placed them on the mahogany coffee table.
The phone was out of its box, already unsealed.
The bank card had a password attached, still Tang Xiaowan’s birthday, but the written format of the numbers was peculiar, exactly the sa as her other two cards.
"ijuan, what do you an by this?"
"Well, miss, Mr. Leng instructed that you could spend the money in the card however you like, buy cars, buy houses, it doesn’t matter what others think. And this phone, you can use it to make calls without charge, you can’t run out."
Tang Xiaowan: "?"
Was she just hit by the god of wealth?
Soone is actually offering money and a phone?
The phone feels quite nice, probably not cheap!
Seeing Tang Xiaowan’s shocked expression, Wang ijuan quickly added, "Please don’t misunderstand, miss. The money was already yours, being the company’s quarterly dividends. It will automatically be transferred in when the ti cos. You can spend it boldly. The phone is standard issue from the company."
Her succession of words seed morized, too rehearsed, almost excessively so.
With a slight smirk, Tang Xiaowan asked, "Who is Mr. Leng, who are the others? What are these company dividends, what’s the na of the company, and why am I being provided with a phone?"
Cheng Shi: "..."
Wang ijuan: "?"
Seeing their strange expressions, Tang Xiaowan asked puzzledly, "Why are you two looking at like that? Is there a problem?"
"Miss, you don’t rember Mr. Leng?"
"Um, no, I have no recollection."
As soon as she said this, Tang Xiaowan felt sothing was off.
Leng, surna Leng, that does sound sowhat familiar!
Had she heard it sowhere?
Tang Xiaowan asked in confusion, "Am I very familiar with him, this Mr. Leng?"
At this, Wang ijuan burst into laughter.
"Of course you are! Miss, you and Mr. Leng are the best of friends, no, no, more like confidants—yeah, that’s it, platonic confidants."
Tang Xiaowan: "..."
My God, how did another one pop up?
Could it be that I was a heartless playboy before? Surely not?
No, no, there must be a mistake!
"ijuan, could you not always address so formally? It makes sound old. And you too, Cheng Shi, be mindful."
Cheng Shi: "?"
"But the old lady once said..."
"From now on, rember, we are equals, you can only call by my na, OK?"
"Understood, miss."
"Yes, miss."
Tang Xiaowan saw that both agreed, then continued to ask, "What else do you know?"
"Miss, I am mainly responsible for your daily life, and you always preferred to be alone before, so I don’t know much about other matters."
Tang Xiaowan: "?"
Wang ijuan’s address made Tang Xiaowan speechless, but this reply chilled her heart even more, so she turned to look at Cheng Shi, "What about you?"
"I’m a simple man, only responsible for protecting the miss."
His tone was low, his gaze evasive.
Tang Xiaowan touched her nose, a hint of doubt inexplicably arising in her heart.
She had just been talking non-stop!
Preferring to be alone? Was she bribed to hide sothing?
Could it be because of that Mr. Leng?
"Since this card is mine, then how did it end up with you? Did Mr. Leng ask you to give it to ?"
"Wow, miss is really smart, guessed right on the first try!"
Seriously, was there any need to guess?
No idea how this girl got into i Garden, how did grandmother choose her?
I thought she was sowhat clever!
No, even so, my card shouldn’t be in Mr. Leng’s hands!
"What’s Mr. Leng’s full na?"
"Not sure, only know his surna is Leng, and he’s very handso."
Looking at Wang ijuan’s infatuated expression, Tang Xiaowan roughly guessed.
Turns out she was blinded by good looks!
"Where does his family live, does he often co to i Garden?"
"Don’t know where he lives, but he does co often, though he always ets the old lady alone, or takes you out alone, never talks with us servants."
"Alone? Oh, I see."
What the heck, such a contradiction!
If it’s as you said, why would he hand the card and phone to you, why not give them directly to ?
Suddenly, three knocks on the door interrupted their conversation, it was i Garden’s butler, Old Li.
Under the joint efforts of Granny Yu and Uncle Cai, the al was all prepared, all Tang Xiaowan’s favorites.
Li Zishen was already at the dining room, just waiting for her.
...
anwhile, at the South Suburb Villa.
This was a standalone four-story building with European style, which felt very empty due to the sparse interior furnishings.
There was a small plum blossom-shaped fountain in the center of the hall.
It was made entirely of marble, the spray continuously bubbling above, with lush underwater greenery swaying with the waves, and six koi fish swimming around, making it appear very lively.
Leng Lingxiao looked at it thoughtfully.
He had been standing there for half an hour.
Suddenly, a middle-aged man in casual attire hurried over.
His na was Zhao Renjie, 40 years old. Though his appearance was ordinary, his capabilities were very strong. He was the butler for all of Leng Lingxiao’s properties, occasionally also acting as secretary, driver, and even bodyguard and masseuse.
"Master."
Leng Lingxiao slightly narrowed his eyes, a fierce killing intent flashing around him.
"Has everyone arrived?"
"Yes, master, shall we start the action?"
"Order them as usual, but one thing, do not disturb Tangtang."
"Master, rest assured, they are all smart, they won’t talk nonsense, but Lin Xiaoxiao might not make it, can only last till tomorrow morning, should I take care of her?"
Leng Lingxiao clenched his teeth, paused for a few seconds, then coldly said, "She asked for it."
The bank card in his hand snapped with a click.
