A calm, detached voice came from the back seat asking:

"Did you suddenly leave a couple of days ago because you've been staying in Haicheng all along?"

Li Yan, in the driver's seat, honestly replied, "Yes."

Then the car fell silent...

The car drove all the way to the Jing Family Manor, which was built on a hillside overlooking the sea.

This is where the Jing family has lived for generations.

Although the Jing family had fallen on hard times a few years ago, and even their manor had been mortgaged,

That is, Jingmin redeemed it later after his career succeeded.

Strictly speaking, this was her second time setting foot here.

They first held their wedding here, but she flew to New York that very night without even staying overnight.

I still remember standing on the terrace of the manor during the day and looking out, I could see groves of trees in the distance concealing buoys and small boats on the pale blue sea.

The harmonious color scheme of nature is as beautiful as an Impressionist oil painting.

The car drove on, and in front of the manor was a small stream that gradually widened from the mountains to reach every corner of the manor.

On both sides are dappled trees and dense grass, and the sound of flowing water can be heard.

The car finally stopped in front of a white villa on the north side of the estate.

As soon as Chu Wuyang got out of the car, she smelled a rich floral fragrance wafting from the garden.

The maid came out to help with the luggage and, noticing her staring intently at the dark garden, said:

"Madam, the flowers in the garden were specially transplanted by the master; there are so many varieties!"

Chu Wuyang did not respond and looked away.

The maid had no choice but to continue:

"Dinner is ready. Would you like to go upstairs and take a shower first?"

"No need, please eat first."

Chu Wuyang walked to the restaurant and sat down. Someone placed a bowl of hot soup on the table. Chu Wuyang looked up and saw it.

His face turned deathly pale, and his eyes turned icy cold.

She raised her hand and swung it, and with a "bang,"

In an instant,

Scalding soup splattered everywhere, and shards of cutlery were scattered all over the place.

With an aura of chilling menace, the hand he raised in fury resembled a bolt of lightning from hell.

I am determined to tear apart the person I despise before me.

An uneasy atmosphere filled the air.

The steaming soup on the ground looked like hellfire burning.

The maid, who heard the sound of dishes breaking from the dining room, rushed out of the kitchen.

I only managed to catch a glimpse of Chu Wuyang's back as she went upstairs.

The restaurant was a complete mess...
