Under Fu Youqing's meticulous "care", Xia Sanghuan suffered a great deal.
Not to mention the dozens of family doctors she had brought with her, just the instruments and tonics couldn't even fit on two tables.
Finally, the "rehabilitated" Xia Sanghuan was driven by Fu Youqing to the Leng family's mansion.
"Huanhuan, if anything happens to you, you must call Third Sister. Never keep it to yourself!"
Fearing that Huanhuan would be wronged here, in front of the Leng family's mansion, Fu Youqing held Xia Sanghuan's hand and seriously admonished her.
Xia Sanghuan nodded, her heart filled with warmth.
"I know. I definitely won't hide anything from you!" Except for Xia Anying, the others in the Leng family treated her quite well...
Xia Sanghuan then thought of Leng Chuanjin in the Leng family.
"Alright then. You must take good care of yourself!"
Fu Youqing watched Xia Sanghuan enter the Leng family's mansion reluctantly.
Inside the Leng family's mansion, Wang Fu greeted Xia Sanghuan. "Miss Xia, that young lady who broke the bowl refuses to wash the dishes. She's been causing a ruckus in the kitchen!"
Xia Sanghuan didn't want to deal with such trivial matters, especially those related to Xia Anying. She wanted to just brush it off casually.
But then she thought that Xia Anying was now someone sent by the Fu family. Her words and actions were closely related to the Fu family.
Looking at the not - so - friendly looks from the servants around, Xia Sanghuan raised her eyes. "Then take me to see what on earth she's up to."
Wang Fu let out a sigh of relief and quickly led Xia Sanghuan all the way to the kitchen.
Before they even entered, they heard the sound of a shelf being knocked over inside.
And Xia Anying's furious scolding.
"What are you doing? So clumsy! Hurry up and clean that up!" Wang Fu walked in and looked at the trembling servants.
Although these words were addressed to the servants, the implication was obvious. It was clearly aimed at Xia Anying.
"Do you think I can't tell what you mean!" Xia Anying was about to scold this servant when she suddenly saw Xia Sanghuan standing at the kitchen door.
Xia Sanghuan just stood there, looking at her calmly.
She didn't make any move, but it was enough to send a shiver down Xia Anying's spine.
"If you don't want to wash these dishes, that's fine." Xia Sanghuan said slowly.
She walked slowly towards Xia Anying. Her invisible aura made Xia Anying bite her lip.
"But the bowl you broke is worth over six figures." Getting closer to Xia Anying, Xia Sanghuan still spoke at a steady pace.
But it made Xia Anying's heart skip a beat.
She stammered, "I, I didn't break that bowl on purpose. I just..."
Xia Sanghuan didn't give her a chance to say more. She found Xia Anying's babbling annoying.
"Now, you either pay for the plate or wash the dishes obediently here."
After saying that, Xia Sanghuan turned around and left.
Wang Fu followed suit, leaving Xia Anying alone, seething with anger.
She gritted her teeth. What was Xia Sanghuan so proud of? She was just a snob!
As Xia Sanghuan walked out of the kitchen door, she casually glanced around and saw Leng Chuanjin walking in the garden corridor.
She stopped for a moment, quickly averted her gaze, and continued walking.
She didn't notice that the person in the corridor had stopped and was staring at her receding figure with deep, intense eyes.
Yun Ye noticed that the boss was in an unusual mood. Following Leng Chuanjin's gaze, he looked at the girl's departing back.
"Master Leng, is there something wrong with that young lady from the Fu family?" He didn't see anything amiss.
Leng Chuanjin didn't answer. The darkness in his eyes gradually spread.
"Have I seen her somewhere before?" he said slowly, his voice deep.
Yun Ye thought for a while. "We must have met. She's the young miss the Fu family found, and Master Leng has quite a few connections with the Fu family..."
"That's not what I'm talking about."
Leng Chuanjin seemed to be in deep thought. "Before the Fu family found her, did I meet her?"
Yun Ye thought carefully but couldn't recall anyone named Xia Sanghuan in his memory.
But Leng Chuanjin suddenly remembered something.
He remembered the small chin of the girl he saw for the last time before fainting in the dim cave.
Those bright, glass - like eyes were quite similar to Xia Sanghuan's.
Gradually coming to a conclusion in his mind, a glint of darkness flashed across Leng Chuanjin's eyes.
He ordered, "After dinner, go and invite Miss Fu out."
Yun Ye instinctively answered, but then suddenly felt something was off.
He pursed his lips and asked hesitantly, "Master Leng, why do you want Miss Fu to go out?"
A wild thought suddenly occurred to him.
Could it be that the boss had finally fallen in love with Miss Fu?
As if sensing what Yun Ye was thinking, Leng Chuanjin gave him a cold look.
Yun Ye immediately drove those random thoughts out of his mind.
Wang Fu took great care of Xia Sanghuan. Dinner was prepared according to the standards of a five - star Michelin restaurant.
Xia Sanghuan took a few bites. It looked exquisite but tasted bland.
She didn't have much of an appetite to begin with. After just a few bites, she put down her chopsticks.
The maids beside her immediately came to clear the table.
"Miss Xia."
Xia Sanghuan was suddenly stopped by a strange voice. She turned her head and saw an unfamiliar man.
But his aura was quite special, not like that of an ordinary person.
She nodded politely. "Hello. What can I do for you?"
As Yun Ye sized up Miss Xia, he said, "Master Leng noticed that you're not very familiar with the layout of the Leng family's mansion, so he asked you to go to the back garden. He'll have someone show you around."
He thought to himself secretly that although Miss Xia was good - looking, she wasn't so charming that even Master Leng would be smitten.
Hearing that it was Leng Chuanjin's order, Xia Sanghuan instinctively frowned.
She was about to decline when Yun Ye smiled slightly. "Then Miss Xia should go quickly. Master Leng means well."
Since the words were so explicit, if Xia Sanghuan refused, it would seem that she had a petty mind.
She had no choice but to force a smile and nod. The moment she turned around, the smile on her face disappeared instantly.
When she reached the back garden, Xia Sanghuan looked around and saw a figure in front of the flower bed.
Presumably, this was the servant Leng Chuanjin had ordered to show her around. The visibility was poor at night, so Xia Sanghuan didn't think much and walked towards the figure.
The closer she got, the more she felt something was wrong.
The oppressive feeling around her became stronger and stronger, forcing her to stop just three steps away from the man.
"Leng Chuanjin?"
Seeing the tall figure not far away, Xia Sanghuan already had an inkling.
She was just a bit puzzled. What important matter could Leng Chuanjin possibly have for her in the middle of the night?
It was definitely not as he said, just simply showing her around the Leng family's mansion.
Why would the big boss himself need to do this?
"Yes, it's me."
Leng Chuanjin didn't explain why he was here.
"You're not familiar with this place. If you have any questions, you can ask me."
