Chapter 102 Black and White Photos
Lu Fengqing spent most of the day with Xie Chaowan and discovered that she had a very broad and rich knowledge base.
She is knowledgeable in astronomy, understanding all known celestial bodies from the Milky Way to extragalactic galaxies. She is also knowledgeable in geography, able to talk about the geographical evolution of various places in China from ancient times to the present, as well as the local customs and traditions. She has memorized five thousand years of history, and can talk about both official and unofficial histories of any dynasty or country.
She knows a little about many things related to daily life, such as landscaping, farming, baking Western and Chinese pastries, traditional handicrafts, and architectural design. She can also speak six or seven languages fluently.
Lu Fengqing said sincerely, "Aunt Wan, you are amazing."
Unlike her, knowing one word of English was already her limit. She forced herself to learn it so that she could communicate normally with foreigners when spending money abroad.
Xie Chaowan just smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's just that I've seen and learned a lot. If we're talking about who's more capable, my older brothers are much more capable than me, especially my third brother. He has worked hard at the bottom of society and also enjoyed the limelight at the top. He has a wealth of experience and has seen, heard, and felt much more than we have."
Lu Fengqing was both surprised and amazed.
I originally thought Mr. Xie was only particularly good at computers, but I didn't expect him to know so much more.
No wonder they come from a family of scholars; they are all top students.
Xie Chaowan glanced at the time. "It's getting late. Go wash up and rest."
Lu Fengqing realized that it was already past ten o'clock without her noticing.
She didn't bring any clothes with her, so she could only wear Xie Chaowan's pajamas for the time being.
After pulling out her nightgown, Xie Chaowan found a pair of unopened underwear in a packaging bag. "The underwear should fit, but as for bras..."
Xie Chaowan glanced at Lu Fengqing's chest. "It's very well developed. Mine is probably a bit too small for you. I'll have someone buy you some more tomorrow."
Lu Fengqing: "..."
Lu Fengqing is very picky about what she wears and uses; she has always only worn the most expensive and best clothes since she was a child. The things Xie Chaowan gave her were not expensive brand-name items, but just brands that she was used to wearing, and they felt pretty good to the touch.
Living under someone else's roof, it would be impolite to be picky, so Lu Fengqing gladly accepted.
She has never worn clothes belonging to an elder before.
She might look down on other people's clothes, but Xie Chaowan's... I wonder if wearing them will allow her to absorb some of her talent, so she can show off in front of that jerk later.
Lu Fengqing came out of the bathroom humming a little tune in a good mood, but didn't see Xie Chaowan in the living room.
Faint voices could be heard coming from the courtyard. Lu Fengqing went to the window and saw Xie Chaowan answering a phone call outside.
"...Sui Xing brought his girlfriend over today. What do you mean 'not the same one as last time'? Sui Xing isn't a fickle, promiscuous guy. That shameless bastard Tang Ya also came today... She's shameless to begin with, and now she won't even let people tell the truth? That old woman is bullying young girls, it really made me furious... I kept the girl here. Oh, by the way, is your yacht still usable? I..."
It seems he's on the phone with Boss Xie.
Lu Fengqing didn't disturb them, and listlessly looked around at the decorations in the living room.
Suddenly remembering something, Lu Fengqing turned her head to look at the cabinet next to the TV.
The next moment, the hairs on my body stood on end.
Inside the glass cabinet, a framed photo containing a black and white picture had appeared at some point.
If she remembered correctly, there was no such thing in there before she went to take a shower.
If she were even slightly timid, she would have been terrified and cried on the spot.
Footsteps came from outside. Lu Fengqing forced herself to look away, rubbed her face vigorously a few times, and tried to smooth away the look of fear on her face.
"Finished washing?" Xie Chaowan walked in. "Go and get some rest. Turn right when you go out the door, it's the second room, I've already had the maid prepare it, just go straight there."
Lu Fengqing responded and turned to walk out.
Stepping into the room Xie Chaowan had arranged for her, Lu Fengqing slammed the door shut behind her and let out a heavy sigh.
That's so damn exciting!
If she hadn't seen Xie Chaowan's shadow in the yard during the day, she would have thought she was a ghost.
Lu Fengqing raised her hand to wipe away non-existent cold sweat from her forehead, picked up her phone, and subconsciously wanted to call Gu Suixing.
Her fingertip hovered over the dial button, then she stopped.
No, she's still angry and giving him the cold shoulder, so I can't call her.
Lu Fengqing spent a long time thinking about suitable candidates before finally sending a message to Huo Huai'an.
[Lu Fengqing: . ]
Huo Huai'an was probably not busy and replied quickly.
[Huo Huai'an: ?]
[Lu Fengqing: !]
[Huo Huai'an: ...]
Huo Huai'an made a phone call right away.
Lu Fengqing shuddered and quickly hung up.
Walls have ears, so we absolutely mustn't let Xie Chaowan hear us.
Huo Huai'an stared at the phone that had been hung up, speechless for a moment, then looked at the ancestor beside him.
Tang Xingchen had just left, and he and Gu Suixing hadn't even exchanged a few words when he suddenly received a "mysterious code" from the young lady.
He called, but the young lady actually hung up?
Gu Suixing pondered for a moment, "Send her a message and ask her what's wrong."
Huo Huai'an did as instructed.
[Huo Huai'an: Miss, what is it?]
Lu Fengqing walked to the table and sat down. After considering her words for a moment, she slowly typed: [I'm with Aunt Wan.]
[Huo Huai'an: And then?]
[Lu Fengqing: Everything was fine just now.]
Huo Huai'an was impressed by this way of speaking, which was like squeezing toothpaste out little by little.
If one of his subordinates had done this, he would have fired that person a hundred times over.
But the woman opposite him was a young lady, another ancestor, and he had no choice.
Huo Huai'an could only continue to squeeze in with her: [And now?]
[Lu Fengqing: Things aren't good right now.]
Despite the unfriendly glare from the person beside him, Huo Huai'an forced a smile and asked, "[What's wrong?]"
Fortunately, this time Lu Fengqing didn't explain it bit by bit like squeezing toothpaste.
[Lu Fengqing: I saw a black and white photo at Aunt Wan's place in the manor last time. Aunt Wan said that person is dead.]
[Lu Fengqing: As a result, I saw that person at the fishing pond the next day at noon]
Huo Huai'an was a little confused, but Gu Suixing understood after seeing this.
Gu Suixing took the phone from Huo Huai'an and asked her, "[You saw that photo again?]"
[Lu Fengqing: !! How did you know?!]
Gu Suixing continued, "[Answer the phone. Listen.]"
Then I dialed the number.
Lu Fengqing hesitated for a moment before answering the phone.
