"Rest early."
It was a short reply, filled with a faint sense of alienation.
Compared to the words, "Rest well", it was obviously much colder.
"Alright. Brother Yi Yao, good night. "
Xu Jiannan's eyes turned red and a small bite mark appeared on his lips.
Half leaning, his gaze was a little erratic.
She, whose mind had become increasingly heavy, could no longer fall asleep.
He pursed his lips, thought for a moment, and opened his phone once again. From his contacts, he found a person.
Ye Zichen sent a message over with uncertainty.
The other side replied almost instantly.
Her tone was very gentle.
"..."
Returning to the villa by the lake, Lu Yiyao glanced at his phone again.
Lin Ange did not reply.
"Little thing, it's always like this."
A trace of helplessness leaked out from the corner of Lu Yi's lips, and his tense and grave face softened quite a bit.
Pushing open the door to the balcony, he calmly gazed at the distant horizon.
In the thick darkness hung a few remnant stars.
The faint starlight carried a trace of chilliness.
He was stunned for a long time.
He pinched the sore bridge of his nose, took a deep breath, and went back to his room to rest.
The next day.
Xu Jiannan woke up early and drank two gulps of milk absent-mindedly.
Jasmine couldn't help but ask when she saw that she was a little unsettled.
"Sister Jianan, what's wrong?" Is there something wrong? "
"I'm fine."
Xu Jiannan softly replied as he looked towards Jasmine.
"Jasmine, can you do one thing for me?"
"Of course. "Sister Jianan, I'm your assistant. Why are you being so courteous?"
Jasmine replied while grinning.
"I heard that Grand Elder Lu's private ward was occupied yesterday. Can you help me take a look and see if Grand Elder is in the hospital?"
"Grand Elder Lu?"
Jasmine was stunned for a moment, and was slightly unable to react.
Lu Jinhui had been recuperating abroad, and even Lu Hengyuan's wedding wasn't present. Since when did he return home?
"Hurry up and go take a look. If the Grand Elder is hospitalized, immediately tell me. We have to go visit him."
Xu Jianan did not explain, but he urged Jasmine to go quickly.
"Alright. I'll go and take a look right away. "
Jasmine knew that she couldn't afford to be careless about this.
If it was really the Lu family's Grand Elder who was hospitalized, as Lu Yiyao's girlfriend, he definitely had to go visit her immediately.
After a while.
Jasmine came back with her head lowered, scratching her head with a look of endless suspicion.
"How is it?" Xu Jiannan asked.
"Sister Jianan, the Grand Elder Lu's sickroom did indeed accommodate a person yesterday. "But it's not the Grand Preceptor, but a young girl …"
"Young girl?"
Xu Jiannan's heart pounded like a drum as his breathing became heavier and heavier.
"Yes, his name seems to be Lin Ange …"
"Lin Ange?"
Xu Jiannan gaped for a moment. The name sounded very familiar.
Ye Zichen exclaimed in surprise.
"Could it be the Lin Clan's second young miss, Lin Yun's younger sister?" She's not? "
"Lin Yan's sister? She has a sister? "
Jasmine had only come to Xu Jianan's side to work as his assistant two years ago, so she was still unfamiliar with the Lin Family's matters.
"Didn't she die four years ago? "How could that be?"
Xu Jiannan gripped the milk glass tightly and gulped.
"There are several bodyguards standing at the door of the ward. Apart from the medical staff, no one else can enter. Sister Jia Nan, what is Lin Ange's relationship with Master Lu? So he protects her? "
Jasmine had a face full of suspicion.
Even Xu Jiannan, Lu Yiyao didn't send any bodyguards over.
This Lin Ange, his demeanor was quite grand.
Xu Jiannan's heart sank, the light in his eyes dimming.
Lu Yiyao sent back a text message yesterday. Could it be to Lin Ange?
They?
Can't?
Lin Ange was Lu Hengyuan's ex-fiancee. How was that possible?
Bang bang bang.
Just as Xu Jiannan was deep in thought, a light knock came from the door of the ward.
"It must be CEO Lu. I'm going to open the door."
Jasmine excitedly walked towards the door.
When he opened the door, the person who stood outside was not Lu Yiyao, but a handsome and threatening man.
Jasmine recognized this person.
"Young Master Ding."
"Is Jianan awake?"
Ding Zi Geng was holding a bunch of carnations and holding a basket of precious fruits. His voice was gentle and gentle.
"I'm awake already. Young Master Ding, please come in."
Jasmine opened all the doors wide, gesturing for Ding Zi Geng to enter.
Xu Jiannan smiled faintly when he saw him.
"Brother Zi Geng, you're here!"
"Jia Nan, I'm sorry I'm late. If you hadn't told me yesterday, I wouldn't have known. Lu Yiyao, it's true. Such a huge matter, you actually didn't follow me … "Let's say …"
Ding ZiGeng's face was full of shame, and at the same time, his heart was filled with complaints.
The news of Lu Yiyao's blockade of Xu Jiannan's hospitalization might have been a result of her work. But he shouldn't have hidden it from these friends of his.
After all, Xu Jiannan was Xu Jiadong's younger sister.
They were responsible for taking care of her.
"Brother Yi Yuan is thinking for my sake too. Don't blame him."
Xu Jiannan smiled sweetly and argued for Lu Yi.
"Yes." "Jianan, how do you feel now?"
"I'm fine from the start. Brother Yi Yao insisted that I take a good rest here for a few days and do a routine medical examination."
"It's really fine?"
Seeing her pale face, Ding Ziheng's handsome brows wrinkled, a hint of concern appearing in the depths of his eyes.
"It's really nothing."
"It's good that you're fine."
Ding ZGeng looked at her and felt his heart tighten. Tilting his head to look at Jasmine who was waiting not far away, he said in a warm voice.
"Jasmine, I have something to talk about with Jia Nan. Go and stay outside for a while."
"Yes."
Jasmine nodded, turned, and walked out.
