Chapter 522: Let’s Talk
The next morning when she woke up, Wen Duoduo found that Lu Jinyan had left at some point, leaving her a small note on the coffee table.She picked it up and glanced at it, seeing his neatly bold and vigorous handwriting—
[I took a day off for you. There’s breakfast in the restaurant, heat it yourself to eat. The password lock at the door is 1010, remember it.]
Although it was just a short line, it inexplicably gave a sense of warmth, and Wen Duoduo couldn’t help but gently curl her lips.
When she got up, her back was still faintly aching, but it was much better compared to before.
Yesterday’s move was so sudden that she hadn’t had a chance to look around Lu Jinyan’s apartment carefully until now, noticing that aside from some basic essentials, it was practically empty.
Especially in the refrigerator, there was no food at all.
Looks like she needed to head to the supermarket.
Wen Duoduo pondered, quickly ate breakfast, then put on her jacket, wore a baseball cap, and went downstairs.
Not far after leaving the complex, she inadvertently caught sight of a black Rolls Royce parked under a tall Huangge tree, its license plate a striking set of four 8s.
She thought to herself that the car might belong to some high-ranking official.
Just as she turned to walk in another direction, the door of the Rolls Royce opened, and a man in his thirties stepped out, intercepting her: "Hello, Miss Wen."
Wen Duoduo paused.
Was he looking for her?
"You are..." she asked in surprise.
"Hello, I’m the driver for the Lu Family. Our lady has invited you, please get in the car."
Wen Duoduo was stunned again: "Your lady?"
The driver looked friendly and professionally smiled: "Madam of the Lu Family, young master Jinyan’s mother."
The mention of ’Jinyan’ caused Wen Duoduo to feel a jolt in her heart.
Lu Jinyan’s mother, Yan Xue?
A bad premonition suddenly swept over her.
But Wen Duoduo was very cautious, frowned, and asked: "How do I know you are really the driver for the Lu Family, what if you’re some..."
Before she could finish, the rear window of the Rolls Royce slid down with a swish, revealing a face with exquisite makeup and remaining charm.
Wen Duoduo looked up involuntarily, stunned for a moment.
The woman sitting in the car, whom she had seen just two days ago, was indeed Lu Jinyan’s mother Yan Xue.
"Hello, Madam Lu!" She quickly bowed formally, a whirlwind of unease stirring inside.
Yan Xue was looking for her?
Why?
And she had come directly to Lu Jinyan’s apartment... which meant she knew she was staying there temporarily?
Yan Xue wore a dignified smile, nodding with a majesty, "Miss Wen, please get in the car, I would like to have a chat with you."
The driver made a timely ’please’ gesture as well.
Though Wen Duoduo’s heart was anxious, she nodded slightly and got into the car.
After sitting her down, Yan Xue smiled gently and said in a mild tone, "I have heard about yesterday’s matter; how are your injuries, Miss Wen?"
"It’s nothing serious, just temporarily... can’t take a bath yet."
"Hmm, it certainly must be inconvenient to move around, right?"
"It’s still... okay."
Yan Xue chatted casually with Wen Duoduo, the conversation drifted here and there, then suddenly she said, "Miss Wen, the reason I’ve invited you out today is because there are some matters that are difficult to talk about."
Matters that are difficult to talk about?
Wen Duoduo was stupefied: "Please speak directly if there’s something you want to say."
Yan Xue looked troubled, sighed with a breath before speaking, "My son Jinyan has a lot of good traits, but he also has many shortcomings. Speaking of virtues, he is outgoing and sunny, which is the type many girls like."
