"I haven't thought about that yet, no rush." Yue Lanxing finished her noodles in a few bites. "Alright, how many days will it take to get this done?"
Zhao Mutou looked at the sky. "It's already afternoon. How about the day after tomorrow? Come back here the day after tomorrow afternoon, and I'll be able to get things done."
Yue Lanxing nodded. "I'll be going now, waiting for your good news."
Yue Lanxing did not return to the Xu family mansion immediately, but wandered around outside for a while before going back.
When Xu Zhaoyue woke up, Xiao Nan brought up the pumpkin porridge. "Miss is awake! The porridge is at the perfect temperature. Drink some to soothe your stomach." After saying that, she put down the plate and helped Xu Zhaoyue up.
"Really, it seems I drank too much when I was happy. What happened after I finished drinking? I didn't do anything strange, did I?" Xu Zhaoyue realized that the clearest memory she had was of them eating together, and she couldn't remember anything after that.
Xu Zhaoyue was still wondering when she saw Xiao Nan's ambiguous smile and knew something was wrong. "Did I dance with Doubao for another two hours?"
“No, you didn’t even think of Doubao this time.” Xiaonan answered like this. Xu Zhaoyue was just about to breathe a sigh of relief when she heard her say again, “It’s just that you insisted on going up the stairs by yourself and twisted your ankle. Yue Lanxing was quick and picked you up and carried you upstairs. You even told me later that you wanted to tie him up.”
Xu Zhaoyue was in a state of shock. "I...he...I didn't really tie him up, did I?!"
Xiao Nan found the young lady's surprised expression quite amusing, but she knew she couldn't joke around too much, so she quickly explained, "No, no, you said you wanted to use peaceful means, so you didn't tie him up. But, young lady, have you really taken a liking to him?"
As the fragments in her mind gradually became clearer, Xu Zhaoyue finally remembered. Fortunately, she had said those words to Xiao Nan alone after Yue Lanxing left. Sure enough, even when she was drunk, she was still quick-witted.
“I remember now. You’ve taken a liking to him? Have you?” Xu Zhaoyue retorted.
Xiao Nan brought the porridge over and placed it in Xu Zhaoyue's hands. "I don't know if Miss has taken a liking to him, but Miss knows for herself. However, he is not highly educated and doesn't have much of a family fortune."
Xu Zhaoyue slowly sipped her pumpkin porridge, noticing Xiaonan's thoughtful expression. "Seriously? It's not even a done deal yet, and you're already thinking about me? You've gone to investigate him?"
"No way, I just chatted with his sister for a while and said that he could continue his schooling, but Xuanxuan said with certainty that he couldn't go anymore. But there are quite a few people trying to get into university these days. I've already said that the Xu family can help, but Xuanxuan is still so sure."
"Then she looked guilty, as if Yue Lanxing not being able to go to school was a big deal, and she didn't even say she would discuss it with Yue Lanxing before directly refusing."
Xiao Nan leaned close to Xu Zhaoyue mysteriously, "I think there's something going on between those two siblings." Xu Zhaoyue had already finished half of her porridge, "So what if they have a secret? Deciphering secrets is a mental activity that really tests your IQ, and I like it."
Xu Zhaoyue put the empty bowl on the bedside table, and Xiaonan took the tea from the plate. "I'm going to sleep a little longer. When you go downstairs later, ask my dad when he'll be back, and then come up to wake me tonight." Xu Zhaoyue took a few sips of tea to clean her mouth.
"Okay, I'll go downstairs now." Xiaonan packed her things and left.
Xu Zhaoyue didn't lie down immediately, but was thinking about what Xiaonan had just said. Everyone has secrets, but since she was interested, she had to dig them out.
In fact, Xu Zhaoyue already had all the bodyguards' information. Xu Dachuan did a good job in this regard. After the people were assigned that day, he came over to deliver the information. Everyone else had several copies, but Xu Zhaoyue received everyone's.
Whether or not the information is reviewed is irrelevant; it's just some basic investigation. At most, it mentions that Xue Huzi's household expenses and income are inconsistent, and that Tian Dai came to the Xu family martial arts school years ago after being chased by his enemies.
As for Yue Lanxing's information, the events that happened a year ago in other places could not be investigated. However, as soon as he came to Shanghai, he bought a courtyard house. After Yue Lanxing came to the martial arts school, he had no other income except for the monthly salary he received.
Judging from this situation, if he hadn't suddenly struck it rich, why would he have dropped out of school? Although this situation didn't match the level Yue Lanxing described, Xu Zhaoyue was willing to keep him to observe him further. After all, someone who consistently donates money to the orphanage could at least be considered kind.
Xu Zhaoyue thought for a while longer before going to sleep. She had things to discuss with her father when he returned home that evening.
When Yue Lanxing returned, she went straight to Yue Xuanxuan with the snacks. "But Xiaonan gave them to me this morning. I was out running errands and didn't have time to give them to you. Here, have some."
Yue Xuanxuan took the box and told Yue Lanxing about her conversation with Sister Xiaonan that afternoon, "When Sister Xiaonan was distributing the boxes to everyone earlier, she also gave me some. She said that our Xu family could sponsor those who want to continue their studies, but I refused."
"Oh, it's nothing. I'm already over twenty, how could I possibly have the mind to study? By the way, I'll be going back to school in less than a month, so you absolutely mustn't forget." Yue Lanxing didn't seem to care about the matter.
Yue Xuanxuan nodded, "I know. With my grades and my teacher's recommendation, I'm sure I'll succeed. I'm going to help Uncle Huang in a few days. Maybe I'll have four years of work experience by the time I graduate from university."
After Xiaonan finished cooking in the kitchen, she came to wake the young lady up right on time. "Miss, dinner is ready. I made some easy-to-digest food. Get up and eat some. Master won't be back until eight or nine o'clock."
Xu Zhaoyue got up, washed up quickly, and after dinner, sat in her study writing a proposal. She wanted to apply some of her previous research findings, which required support.
