Chapter 86 The Metaphysics Master's Fiancée 03

I can't see through Jiang Yiqing either.

Aunt Qin parked the car in the garage, and Luo Shuyu and Jiang Yiqing waited for her on the lawn.

A woman watering the lawn with a hose came out of the neighboring villa, saw the two women, and greeted them.

"Yi Qing, is this your friend? I've never seen him before?"

Jiang Yiqing glanced at Luo Shuyu with a questioning look, then said vaguely, "Ah, yes."

She didn't know any women. Aunt Qin, who had just parked her car, came over and said, "Sister Wang, you're so energetic again! You're watering such a big lawn all by yourself, and it's winter. You could have just called Sister Lu and the others and found someone to take care of it."

"I'm just bored and have nothing to do," said Aunt Wang, wiping the sweat from her brow. "I'll get back to what I'm doing. It's cold outside, you should go inside quickly so you don't catch a cold."

"Sister Lu is so lucky to have hired an employee like you," Aunt Qin said, gesturing for the two to go inside.

Luo Shuyu pushed Jiang Yiqing forward slowly, her expression freezing for a moment. She thought no one would notice her micro-expressions, but the observant Jiang Yiqing asked her in a low voice, "Sister Luo, what's wrong? You don't look too good."

"That woman called Sister Wang has a very unpleasant appearance," Luo Shuyu said in a low voice.

Aunt Qin pushed open the villa's door, and the warmth that greeted her was comforting. She said, "Miss Luo, are you talking about things like 'a dark aura' or 'inevitable bloodshed'?"

Aunt Qin usually watches TV dramas, and that's how it's portrayed. Unexpectedly, Luo Shuyu chuckled softly. Although she didn't show anything, she seemed quite disdainful. She said, "There are two sides to good and evil, so a person's face also has two sides. She has the face of an extremely evil person."

Upon hearing this, Aunt Qin accidentally dropped the key from her hand. She hurriedly picked it up, glanced out the window, and saw the woman still watering the plants. As if sensing something, the woman looked up and met her gaze. Aunt Qin was startled and her eyes glazed over: "How could this be? Sister Wang seems so kind and friendly. She has more vegetables growing in her yard than she can eat, and she even brings them to me. How could such a person be a bad person? Miss Luo, a bad person's appearance and appearance should be different, right?"

Luo Shuyu's calm words shattered her last shred of hope: "I only judge people by their appearance, not their looks. An ugly person may have a kind heart, while a person who looks respectable and kind may not be without the most vicious thoughts in their heart."

"..." Aunt Qin was completely speechless. She wanted to defend Sister Wang, but a chill ran down her spine. This was because Luo Shuyu's judgment had never been wrong. Her awe of a knowledge that transcended science and could explain the workings of nature forced her to follow Luo Shuyu's line of thought: "If what you say is true, how could such a terrible thing happen?"

Why would someone like this exist, and be so close to them? And have they been together for so long? The thought that she trusted them so much that she never locked the door when she left the villa, and that Aunt Wang would leave the vegetables she picked at their door, suddenly sent chills down her spine.

"Isn't it normal for evil people to exist? The important thing is whether she will do evil, and when she will do evil," Luo Shuyu said slowly.

"I was terrified." Aunt Qin looked at Jiang Yiqing and said, "Yiqing, if anything happens to you, I won't be able to explain it to Weiwei. From today onwards, you have to report to me wherever you go and what you do, except when you're in the villa, understand?"

Jiang Shangwei had just received the surveillance cameras she bought to confirm her baby daughter's safety, and Aunt Qin decided to install them immediately to ensure there were no blind spots in the villa. These smart cameras would immediately connect to the public security system and trigger an alarm if they detected any suspicious people or objects.

This might seem a bit exaggerated, but the great calamity the fortune teller spoke of was a heavy weight hanging over their hearts. At this critical juncture, no one dared to underestimate it in the slightest.

Jiang Yiqing nodded obediently, looking relaxed, seemingly unaffected by Aunt Qin's nervousness. She asked Luo Shuyu, "Sister Luo, I'm quite curious, judging from my appearance, what kind of person am I?"

“…” Luo Shuyu fell silent.

"Sister Luo, if you tell me the truth, I won't be angry," Jiang Yiqing said with a smile.

"With Qing's appearance... she is naturally very good."

"Really? I've heard that pretty girls often have a tough life. Even though I look like this, I'll still assume I'm pretty. Won't a tough life show on your face?" Jiang Yiqing asked.

Aunt Qin disagreed, saying, "Yiqing, you're talking nonsense again. What do you mean by a bumpy fate? It's just a hurdle! You'll definitely get through it smoothly. Apart from this one thing, your life is something many people envy!"

“Yes, Yi Qing, don’t talk nonsense. There are no hardships in my life. All I see is a bright future.” Luo Shuyu said, “Don’t worry, with me here, I won’t let anyone hurt you.”

Jiang Yiqing has excellent bone structure, with a perfectly proportioned forehead and chin. She may have some concerns about poor communication skills, but she possesses great wisdom. Once she understands things, she will become an exceptionally kind and virtuous person.

Judging a person's appearance is like dissecting them from the inside out. Although they had only known each other for a short time, Luo Shuyu understood Jiang Yiqing better than her friends.

Therefore, we know even more just how captivating this girl's blessed beauty and her exquisitely charming heart truly are.

"Sister Luo is so gentle." Jiang Yiqing seemed to have guessed that she would say that. She seemed to have no worries about what she might encounter in the future and was very carefree: "Of course I believe in Sister Luo, so Aunt Qin, don't be too nervous."

Jiang Yiqing was carried by Aunt Qin to her room on the second floor. At this point, the villa seemed less convenient than a large apartment. Although it had an elevator, it still caused inconvenience in terms of movement.

Then Aunt Qin and the maids started cooking. Jiang Yiqing's friends also discussed coming over to celebrate her discharge from the hospital. It was too crazy to have a party on the first day after discharge, but it was completely Jiang Yiqing's personality. Therefore, Jiang Yiqing agreed to her friends' wishes.

Luo Shuyu decided to go back first and bring over some of the things she needed for work.

She first called Lan Changge, who was her secretary, as well as her mother's and her friend, and had the authority to decide on her work assignments. Luo Shuyu didn't have the energy to select assignments, so Changge conducted due diligence and then selected them for her.

"Shuyu? Are you at the Jiang family's house right now?"

"Yes, I'm going back to get something."

“You’re such a busy person, and your time is so precious, how can you waste it on something like this?” Lan Changge said. “I’ll pack everything up and send it over for you later. You can just wait. I also have to attend Miss Jiang Yiqiu’s discharge party.”

"..." Luo Shuyu wasn't used to the party atmosphere. She said, "Actually, there's something else I wanted to tell you. I feel like I've seen that maid named Wang Sao next to the Jiang family. Could you help me look into her?"

"...This is the first time you've made such a request. I will do my best to help." Lan Changge smiled and said, "I didn't expect that there would be someone you, Master Luo, couldn't see through at a glance."

“There are many things I can’t see through. I’m not some kind of supernatural being,” Luo Shuyu said. “Besides her, I can’t see through Jiang Yiqing either.”

"..." Lan Changge said, "This time, Jiang's mother didn't hold back at all. It was an astronomical sum that you wouldn't believe, almost like a dowry for her daughter. So, Shuyu, I've been putting in my best effort. I've turned down all the other commissions I could during this period, unless they were extremely urgent or life-threatening."

"Okay, I understand." Hearing her talk about dowry, Luo Shuyu shook her head inwardly. She couldn't see any intention of dating Jiang Yiqing on her face.

If that's true, then she's incredibly calm. She's nothing like the outspoken, straightforward girl people say she is.

Bathed in the winter sun, Luo Shuyu pretended to be on the phone and took a picture of Wang Sao's appearance, which she then sent to Lan Changge via text message.

Then, she went back to the kitchen to help Aunt Qin with her chores. Aunt Qin was a friend of the Jiang family and also the housekeeper here. She liked to do small things herself and was considered half the owner of the villa.

“Miss Luo, it’s not appropriate for you to come here. We’ll keep busy.” Aunt Qin shooed Luo Shuyu out. While busy preparing the ingredients, she turned around and said, “The flowers I ordered have just arrived. If you don’t mind, you can assemble the flowers first.”

To celebrate Jiang Yiqing's discharge from the hospital, a huge bouquet of flowers was specially ordered. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she was the apple of everyone's eye, worthy of any precious crown in heaven or earth. But perhaps due to the effects of hospitalization, there was no trace of the proud little princess on Jiang Yiqing's face.

Luo Shuyu then went to the living room and started arranging the flowers. The flowers that Aunt Qin ordered were all very fresh and came in a wide variety. There were several types of roses alone, including Rose of the Rose, Freud, and Apple Jack, as well as pink gladioli and pale purple night-blooming jasmine.

How to harmonize a variety of flowers into a cohesive whole was a problem that Luo Shuyu studied carefully and consulted relevant materials.

After a while, Jiang Yiqing got bored being alone in the room. She pushed her wheelchair to the top of the stairs, looked at Luo Shuyu in the living room from afar, and, not wanting to disturb her, quietly pushed the wheelchair away.

Luo Shuyu keenly noticed this. Just then, she finished decorating her flowers, picked a few more freesias, put them in a white porcelain vase, and went to Jiang Yiqing's room.

"Yiqing, are you there?"

Jiang Yiqing heard the knocking and said, "Come in."

Luo Shuyu placed the porcelain vase on her desk; these were flowers that she felt suited her perfectly the moment she saw them.

"Yiqing, is it okay if I put it here?"

"Thank you, Sister Luo. I like it very much." Jiang Yiqing smiled.
