Before Ji Zhinan could think further, the maid who had just delivered the clothes returned, carrying a white fur shawl.
"Young Madam, it's snowing outside. May I put this shawl on you?"
"Is it snowing?" Ji Zhinan asked.
"Yes, young mistress." The maid nodded.
The maid pressed a button, and the curtains slowly slid open to both sides, instantly letting in the sunlight and illuminating the entire room.
Ji Zhinan turned his head and looked out the window. Everything outside was white, and there was steam on the window.
………
After changing her clothes, Ji Zhinan carried her skirt outside.
Maureen chose very classic-style dresses for her, layered upon layered, with shawls draped over them, so she wasn't afraid of the cold at all.
When she went outside, it had stopped snowing, and everything outside was white, which looked especially beautiful.
As Ji Zhinan walked, he arrived at the Gu family's plum garden.
Because Maureen liked it, plum blossoms were also planted in the Gu family garden. Plum blossoms usually bloom in February and March, but some bloom as early as December.
Just yesterday, they were still flower buds, but unexpectedly, after only one night, they bloomed alone amidst the first snowfall of Y country.
Amidst the sea of white, clusters of red plum blossoms stand out exceptionally beautiful.
Ji Zhinan stared at them, completely mesmerized.
"Buzz—"
Her phone vibrated in her hand. Ji Zhinan glanced at the caller ID, pressed the answer button, and put the phone to her ear.
"Shirakawa?"
"Miss Ji." Bai Chuan's voice came from the other end.
Ji Zhinan placed one hand on the red plum blossom and gently brushed away the snowflakes from the flower's stamen with his fingertips.
"What's wrong?" she asked.
"The person has been found," Shirakawa said.
"..." Upon hearing this, Ji Zhinan's eyes sharpened.
Suddenly, she smiled, a wicked and languid smile: "Where did you find it?"
"As Miss Ji said, after stealing so much jewelry from the Ji family, her first thought was to sell it for cash. When my men caught her, she was preparing to sell a one million yuan jewelry necklace for one hundred thousand yuan."
Because Shirakawa had already arranged for people to see that Aunt Min's one million jewels were only going to be sold for one hundred thousand, they immediately noticed something was wrong and notified Shirakawa's people.
Shirakawa's men rushed in and grabbed the man firmly, leaving him no chance to escape.
“Miss Ji, our people have already questioned her, but she seems to be terrified. No matter what we ask her, she says she doesn’t know…”
"Don't know?" Ji Zhinan smiled.
If it were anyone else, she might actually believe that she knew nothing, but she was Aunt Min, someone who colluded with Madam Ji.
If Grandpa was pushed downstairs by Ji Zhixia, Madam Ji would definitely know, and Aunt Min would definitely know too!
"No need for torture," Ji Zhinan said calmly. "Lock him in a small, dark room without windows, and continue to provide him with water and food as usual. We'll discuss the rest when I get back."
Miss Ji is trying to psychologically torment Aunt Min.
Shirakawa understood and immediately nodded: "I understand, Miss Ji."
…………
"Young Master Luo, our lady has been waiting for you in the reception room for quite some time."
The maid said respectfully.
Luo Shi nodded slightly, a hint of tenderness in his eyes.
He wore a khaki trench coat that hugged his tall frame, highlighting his exceptionally long legs and deep, captivating black eyes.
"Hmm," he responded, his demeanor exuding nobility and elegance.
Following the maid toward the Gu family's main residence, as he passed through the garden, he caught a glimpse of a woman standing in front of a red plum tree.
She wore a classic long dress with a white shawl draped over her shoulders, looking just like a woman who had stepped out of a painting.
Upon seeing her profile, Luo Shi froze on the spot.
