The butler was slightly surprised, but it was also expected. Her expression was a bit hesitant, "Madam, it’s probably not a good ti to act now, after all, Miss Dong is still in the country."
She naturally knew it was not a good ti to act, but she had no choice. If Dong Xin Yan didn’t go abroad, she had to take the opportunity during her quarrel with Gu Ningyi to forcibly take her out of the country. This way... Gu Ningyi would think she left on her own and it would alleviate many of her worries.
Once she arrived in the United States, everything would be under her control.
"There’s no ti left. Tell the people over there to be quick. Once they capture her, put her on the plane imdiately. But rember, try not to harm her. I want her to arrive here safe and sound."
"Understood."
"You may go."
The butler nodded and respectfully withdrew.
Lady Wei rubbed her brow, a slow, cold smile spreading across her lips. Dong Xin Yan, don’t bla for being ruthless. This is what you owe .
That smile fell right upon the figure standing at the corner of the stairs.
She stared blankly at the smile on Lady Wei’s face. For the first ti, it felt unfamiliar—so unfamiliar that she almost couldn’t recognize her.
Was this woman in front of her really her kind and gentle mother? Why was her smile so terrifying?
The "Miss Dong" the butler ntioned, was it her sister?
But why did she want soone to capture her sister? And why bring her sister here? What did she intend to do?
Countless mysteries floated in her mind, she couldn’t understand, couldn’t figure it out, but her mother’s smile filled her heart with endless unease, as if sothing bad was about to happen.
"Miss, what are you doing here?"
A voice suddenly ca from behind. Wei Xinruo’s heart skipped a beat, and she turned around in surprise.
The butler was standing behind her, looking puzzled and inquisitive.
Wei Xinruo unconsciously clenched her clothes tightly, forcing a smile, pretending to be casual, "Nothing, I, I dropped an earring, was just looking for it."
As she spoke, she bent down slightly, her dark eyes lowered, searching around.
"Oh, let help you find it," the butler offered.
"Okay, thank you."
"It’s no trouble."
"Then I’ll head back to my room. If you find it, bring it to my room later."
"Alright, Miss, take your ti."
Wei Xinruo turned and walked upstairs, letting out a breath unconsciously as she walked.
Back in the room, she closed the door and instinctively locked it. She walked to the bed, sat down, her heart pounding uncontrollably.
She clutched her chest, taking deep breaths in and out. After a while, she gradually cald down, though her brow was still furrowed.
She pondered for a long ti, then abruptly got up, walked to the bedside table, grabbed her phone, and dialed a number.
-
After chatting with Lady Wei, Dong Xin Yan received a call from Mr. Dong, asking her to co ho for a al.
Dong Xin Yan thought, since she and Gu Ningyi needed so ti apart, she might as well stay at ho for a few days and keep her father company.
She entered the bathroom to freshen up, applied so light makeup to cover her haggard face, then packed a few changes of clothes, grabbed her bag, and went out.
The car drove a short distance away from the villa when her phone rang. Dong Xin Yan glanced at it. The screen displayed Xinruo’s na.
She freed a hand, picked up the Bluetooth headset, put it on, and pressed the answer button, "Hello, Xinruo."
