Lu Jing originally intended to escort soone downstairs, but Miss Dai wouldn’t allow it.
"I can handle myself. Lu Lu, you just stay put at ho!"
Miss Dai, always brisk and energetic, was not the kind of delicate little girl.
Lu Jing had no choice but to agree,
"Just be careful, okay? Call if you need anything," he reminded.
"Mhm, mhm, I know, I won’t forget you.
What are best friends for?
Isn’t it to share the good tis and face the bad tis together?"
Lu Jing couldn’t help but twitch his mouth,
"You’d be doing well if you could actually stick to that."
This ti, if it wasn’t really urgent, this girl wouldn’t have hinted at needing help beforehand at all!
Indeed, Lu Jing would have made the sa choice as Dai Changwan.
Unless absolutely necessary, he wouldn’t bother others, even if they are close friends—they have their own lives after all!
....
Jiang Ye was downstairs at this mont, preparing to enter the elevator.
Suddenly, from the reflection on the wall, he caught a glimpse of a rather sneaky figure.
Just then, the elevator arrived with a ’ding’.
Jiang Ye glanced and saw Miss Dai preparing to step out.
Dai Changwan of course saw Jiang Ye:
"Jiang..."
She barely uttered a syllable when Jiang Ye stopped her.
Because of the angle, the sneaky person hadn’t seen Dai Changwan.
Jiang Ye had been keeping an eye on him, and had roughly made out the man’s facial features:
"Miss Dai, do you know a man with a mole on the corner of his left eye? Probably in his thirties or forties, with a slicked-back hairstyle, and about 175 cm tall?"
Having clearly described the basic features, Dai Changwan imdiately frowned:
"Yes, he’s my stepmother’s cousin."
Since that stepmother had successfully wedged her way into the family years ago, she had brought along a whole troop of relatives.
Back then, though Dai Changwan was quite young, she had a good mory and rembered people quite clearly.
Children might change, but adults generally don’t change much.
So, upon hearing Jiang Ye’s description, she imdiately thought of that person.
"What’s wrong?"
Why was Lu Lu’s family suddenly bringing him up?
Clearly, she was puzzled.
Jiang Ye humd a response, speaking calmly:
"That man, he seems to have followed you here, so he’s been lurking around downstairs."
Followed ?
Hearing this, how could Miss Dai remain calm?
"He..."
As they spoke, the man seed to sense sothing was amiss and started approaching.
The next second, Jiang Ye surreptitiously entered the elevator and closed the doors.
The man was just a step too late and didn’t catch up.
anwhile, Dai Changwan leaned against the elevator wall and let out a huge sigh of relief.
Back ho.
Lu Jing had just changed clothes and ca out of the master bedroom when the door opened.
Huh?
"Awan? Why are you two together?"
And wasn’t Awan supposed to have left already?
Jiang Ye just shrugged, evidently not caring at all.
Dai Changwan sighed repeatedly:
"Oh, Lu Lu!"
Lu Jing’s eyelids twitched a few tis:
"Co in first, let’s talk inside."
Sothing must have happened, to bring back soone who was in a hurry to leave and with Jiang Ye of all people.
These two usually couldn’t stand each other.
After the door closed, Lu Jing asked,
"Wanwan, what happened exactly?"
Miss Dai was still sowhat in shock:
"I, I was being followed."
Followed?
"Who? Soone from the Dai Family?"
