Chapter 48 Guess who I saw on the way back
"Zhiyue took the medicine and fell asleep." Jiang Wanrou typed on her mobile phone and handed it to Gu Zhaoye.
Gu Zhaoye frowned, "I'll go see her."
Jiang Wanrou couldn't stop it.
He strode into the girl's boudoir.
The simple and plain bedroom is eye-catching with the row of bookshelves and the photo of mother and daughter placed on the bedside.
The girl's face was very red. She was lying on a snow-white bed sheet, her soft black hair spread out and blooming like a fragile white rose.
Gu Zhaoye touched her forehead, which was frighteningly hot.
He took out his cell phone and was about to call a private doctor, but Jiang Wanrou, who was waiting beside him, quickly stopped him and handed him the phone. "Zhiyue has already taken the medicine. Don't disturb Madam because of Zhiyue's matter."
Gu Zhaoye knew what Jiang Wanrou was worried about, and a feeling of annoyance rose in his heart for no reason.
For the first time, he felt extremely disgusted with the concept of class.
Especially when Jiang Zhiyue didn't go to school, Lin Xian'er sent him several private messages, asking if his secret had been discovered, and if Jiang Zhiyue was feeling guilty and that was why he got sick? He wanted to pretend to be pitiful by getting sick and deliberately avoid it.
He asked Lin Xian'er what the secret was.
Lin Xian'er didn't reply.
Gu Zhaoye couldn't tell what was strange. Staring at the sleeping girl's red lips, he couldn't help but rub them with his fingers.
Jiang Zhiyue took three days off.
I was woken up by the sound of music early in the morning on the weekend.
Gu Zhaoye loved heavy metal music and privately sponsored performances of many bands. Whenever he held a party, those bands that were hard to get tickets would rush to Gu's house to perform.
He is lively, playful and likes to invite his friends home. Mrs. Gu indulges his behavior and thinks that Gu Zhaoye should maintain good relationships with his peers in the circle.
Mrs. Gu reminded him many times to invite Xiao Jingrun, but Gu Zhaoye curled his lips and said, "We are not the same kind of people, so we can't play together."
Madam Gu sighed, "Jingrun can play with Huai'an and Junyue. He doesn't want to be friends with you. He probably thinks you are immature."
This is the main reason for placing Jiang Zhiyue with Gu Zhaoye. His son is so prone to getting into trouble, so there needs to be someone smart to clean up after him.
Mrs. Gu was busy with shopping, vacations, socializing, and also had to prevent her father from having an illegitimate child and deal with some mistresses who were short-sighted and wanted to enter the house. Part of her time was devoted to herself and part to her marriage, so naturally there was not much left for Gu Zhaoye.
To be honest, she has not spent as much time with him as Jiang Zhiyue.
When Gu Zhaoye heard this, he was so angry that he turned up the volume of the music even louder. Madam Gu asked about Jiang Zhiyue's illness, and Gu Zhaoye's face looked better. He said, "She just has a common fever and cold. It's nothing serious. I asked someone to make some medicine."
"Oh, my Zhaoye knows it so clearly." Mrs. Gu said meaningfully, and the light in the depths of her eyes changed.
...
Jiang Zhiyue locked the doors and windows tightly, but could hear the deafening electronic rock music clearly from a long distance.
As usual, Jiang Wanrou got up early and went to Mr. Gu's ward. She placed the prepared breakfast on the dining table and left a note telling her to take care of herself, but did not mention that Gu Zhaoye came to visit her, nor did she mention that Gu Zhaoye wanted to use the thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum in Mr. Gu's ward to help her treat her cold.
Jiang Zhiyue didn't expect that her health would suddenly become so bad. She fell ill just by being caught in the rain. That night, she got into Chu Junyue's car. Chu Junyue sent her to her destination and only said one sentence, that he saved her for Gu Zhaoye's sake, and told her not to think too much.
Jiang Zhiyue was staying in her room reading a book. She had missed three days of classes and needed to borrow notes from a classmate. She opened LNS, looked through the people and finally added Zuo Qing.
The verification message was quickly approved. Zuo Qing sent her the notes without saying a word and asked her with concern why she didn't come to class. Professor Li praised her paper yesterday.
Jiang Zhiyue replied, [I caught a bad cold from being caught in the rain.]
Zuo Qing smiled back and told her to have a good rest.
Jiang Zhiyue turned on the computer and checked the electronic notes. Each knowledge point was matched with the corresponding page number. She did several pages of the workbook. Wharton College stipulated that before the sophomore year, students must pass the CAF certificate, which is equivalent to the first global financial exam and the entry qualification certificate for the world financial system.
She has quite a few certifications to take, so time is really precious.
In the afternoon, when she opened the drawer to look for information, she unexpectedly found an exquisite gift box in the drawer. When she opened it, she found a set of crown-shaped jewelry inside. The pendant was embedded with a ruby. The color was very pure without any impurities.
Even a layman can see that this is a very high-quality gem and is definitely worth a lot of money.
Who did it?
Who had entered her room and hidden the gift in the bottom drawer of her desk? It was hidden so secretly that it would be difficult to find it if you didn't look for it specifically.
Such a valuable item can easily be accused of theft if you are not careful.
Jiang Zhiyue hurried to find Jiang Wanrou to inquire about the situation. Halfway through editing the message, she remembered that Mrs. Gu had mentioned unintentionally that day that she would give her an adult gift, and later she brought a tablet to accompany her to choose.
This gift was too valuable, something that was beyond her reach with her current status. It was like holding a hot potato, and she had to return it quickly.
In the evening, Jiang Wanrou sent her a message saying that she had been busy taking care of her these days and accidentally left Mr. Gu's medicine at home, and asked her to deliver it as soon as possible.
Jiang Zhiyue had been holding it in for the whole day and just happened to go out for some fresh air. It was dinner time and the place where she lived was remote, so she didn't have to worry about meeting strange people. She found the medicine, got up and went out, and came back after a while.
The maids in the Gu residence were extremely busy. Under the dim moonlight, the lights on the first floor were on. The maids had finished their work and were leaving. Jiang Zhiyue walked past the door and walked upstairs, and heard the maids talking: "I'm so tired today. The young master has too many friends. Every time he has a party, we are the ones who get in trouble."
"Listen to me first. Something just happened that scared me to death. Guess who I saw on the way back?"
"Who is it?"
"Master Mu, it is Master Mu Liansheng, whose family's private banks are spread all over the world and who is said to have an underground vault!"
"I wonder if he took the wrong road. He was accompanied by a female companion. He asked me where was the most secluded place. I suspected they were going to a grove for a tryst. You know, it was dark. Rich people have strange habits..."
"Is Master Mu having so much fun? Isn't he handsome? I heard that he is more beautiful than a woman."
"He is handsome, of course he is handsome! My god, his big pecs match the shirt..."
The remaining sounds could no longer be heard. Jiang Zhiyue went upstairs to her room and locked the door, but suddenly felt something was wrong.
The living room was dark, and there was a light on in her bedroom, a very bright light that went out just as she turned around.
