Chapter 572 thinking of a place

Through the busy streets of Imperial, Yue Ling's white BMW x5m can be spotted driving along side other cars. She had planned to bring Zhao Ya'Er to her and Lu Tian's house as it was the safest place.

However, remembering her promise not to tell Lu Tian, she could only change her course of direction.

Even if she doesn't tell Lu Tian about what happened, the moment he or anyone sees the swollen bruise on Zhao Ya'Er, they will know what the woman had gone through.

Thinking this, she thought of where to bring her friend. Quickly thinking of a place, she heads in another direction, but she will have to make a few phone calls.

After driving a few distances away, Yue Ling's car soon slows to a stop. In front of them now was a tall white building that glisten like it had been coated with clear gloss.

Zhao Ya'Er was able to calm herself down a little. Both her hands clutch tightly onto the sleeves of Yue Ling's coat as she was only wearing a bra under. When she saw the building, she quickly turn her head to look at Yue Ling.

"Yue-Yue, this is…"

"Jade Condos."

Yue Ling answers with a faint smile. She turns the engine off and glance at the tall beautiful structure that she once lived in when she first moved to Imperial.

"I can assure you that even if he knows you are here, he will not be able to get inside."

Which is the truth. After the incident of the break-in of her penthouse, Manager Luo had increased the security around Jade Condos. Not only are their security guards inside the building, there are even some positioned outside the building in undercover.

Zhao Ya'Er was at a loss for words as she stares at her sister-in-law. Even when Yue Ling had stepped out from the driver side and made her way around the front of car, not once did she (Zhao Ya'Er) take her eyes off of the woman.

She didn't know why, but the same feelings from that day when they were followed came back to her. Even after her near rape incident, being with Yue Ling, she was able to calm down.

It was like the retired model was a natural at taking away all the pain in one's heart and give them a sense of security.

Her eyes couldn't help but tear up again. However, she sounds a sniffle and force herself not to cry. When Yue Ling opened the passenger door and gestures her hand like a true gentleman, she (Zhao Ya'Er) trembles a smile and place her hand on top of the slender palm that held millions of warmth.

She swore, if Yue Ling were to be a man, how good would that be for women. Especially for her. To have someone who will always keep her safe and never hurt her in the smallest way.

"Thank you…. Thank you so much…"

Yue Ling doesn't answer but nod her head as a faint smile appears on her face. She helps Zhao Ya'Er get out from the passenger side before the two of them walks towards the entrance of Jade Condos.

Since she already called to let Manager Luo know of her arrival, the old man had also informed the front desk to not ask questions or make any trouble. The receptionist's tasks is to give Yue Ling the things she had requested and go back to work.

"Good morning, Miss Han."

A young man in his twenties greets the two women when he saw them enter the door. He stood up from his chair and walks around the desk to meet them.

He gestures a polite bow and both his arms stretch out towards Yue Ling.

"Here are the things you requested."

Yue Ling nod her head in greeting, then she looks at Zhao Ya'Er. Good thing her wool coat was on the larger side and had buttons up to the collar. It was able to hide away the bruised on her body so that others would not be able to see.

Looking back at the young receptionist, she takes the items in his hands that contained a simple gold key and a shopping bag.

"Thank you. If I need anything else, I will have to trouble you again."

Unaware of the situation, the young man smiles and waves his hands out. "Don't worry. If Miss Han needs anything, I will be happy to help as much as I can."

Yue Ling doesn't say anymore and turns for the elevator with Zhao Ya'Er. At the same time, the young man watched them leave and returns to his chair.

When Manager Luo informed him about Yue Ling's sudden arrival, he was excited to finally meet the highly well-known model in person. However, at the same time he was also in shock.

If he remembers correctly, the woman with the short Pixi cut hairstyle that came in with Yue Ling is none other than Zhao Ya'Er. Even though he is from a normal family, everyone in Imperial knows who she is as she is the only cousin of the cold and ruthless Lu Tian.

However, the reason for his shock was Zhao Ya'Er's appearance. Every time he saw her from a distance, she was always in smiles and full of happiness, but at this moment, she was the complete opposite.

Even if she was looking down, he was able to see the dark bruise on her cheek. It looked like someone had hit her with something hard.

*Ding

The elevator bell chimes, and door slides open. As Yue Ling and Zhao Ya'Er enter, the door closes again and the young man sighs inside.

He is only a worker here, so whatever it was that had happened, he should mind his own business.

Thinking this, he continues on with his work. However, one thing he knows is that, who ever dared to harm Zhao Ya'Er is going to pay the price soon.
