Qiao Nian entered her room and went to take a shower.
Under Qin Si and the others' gazes, Ye w.a.n.gchuan could not hide his smile as he returned to his room with a paper bag.
"Master w.a.n.g, what are you holding?"
Qin Si glanced at him and then at the paper bag. The packaging looked like a gift. "Weren't you waiting for Sister Qiao? Why did you bring this back? Could it be… Sister Qiao bought it for you?!"
Ye w.a.n.gchuan told him not to block the way. He placed the bag in the bedroom and slowly came in. "Are you going to the auction tonight?"
Qin Si craned his neck but did not see what he brought in. He touched his head, feeling regret. "Alright, I want to go out and shop too. I've been staying in the hotel for the past two days. I'm about to die of boredom!"
He asked Ye w.a.n.gchuan, "Is Sister Qiao going?"
Ye w.a.n.gchuan had just asked Qiao Nian, so he walked past him and went straight to the sofa to find a seat. "She's going."
"If Sister Qiao is going, then I'll go too." Qin Si rubbed his chin excitedly.
Gu San made two cups of tea and placed them in front of the two. Then, he sternly said, "Master w.a.n.g, I won't go. I'll stay here to keep an eye on things in case someone sneaks in while you're out."
"You're not going?" Qin Si sat up straight and looked at him.
Gu San shook his head and said with a serious expression, "There are many 'rats' outside. Miss Qiao isn't around. I want to look after things for her."
The computer, two notebooks, and USB drive that Qiao Nian had brought could not be lost.
Although he did not know what other valuables were in Qiao Nian's room, it was better to have someone stay in the hotel than leave it alone.
Gu San thought it through clearly.
In any case, he would not buy anything at the auction. If he went, he would just watch the commotion. It was fine for him to stay and keep an eye on things.
"Mm." Ye w.a.n.gchuan picked up the teacup. The smoke curled up, complementing his facial features. He was n.o.ble and outstanding. "Then stay in the hotel tonight."
…
Night fell.
Ji Ziyin was on the phone with Ji Xiao, telling him that she had arrived in Country M and was staying at the Yu residence.
There were two knocks on the door.
"Miss Ji."
"I'm hanging up." Ji Ziyin hurriedly hung up on Ji Xiao, tidied up, and walked over to open the door.
The servant was waiting for her outside. Upon seeing her, she bowed politely and said, "Miss Ji, Elder Yu is waiting for you downstairs."
Ji Ziyin temporarily stayed in the guest room on the second floor of the Yu residence.
The downstairs that the servant was talking about should be the living room.
Ji Ziyin took a deep breath and did not let anyone see any timidity. She said to the servant generously, "I understand. Wait for a moment. I'll get my cell phone."
"Alright." The servant looked down and did not say anything.
Ji Ziyin took another deep breath and closed the door after she entered the room. She took her cell phone and checked her appearance in front of the dressing table. After confirming that there was no problem, she calmly opened the door and went down the stairs…
…
The entire Yu residence was decorated like a European-style palace. The huge area made the living room look especially domineering.
The gilded decorations showed the family's foundation.
Ji Ziyin walked down the marble stairs and saw Yu Qingliu waiting for her on the brown leather sofa.
Another person around her age was talking to him.
