The maid appeared to be reporting to the housekeeper, but the real listener was Lison. After the maid finished speaking, the housekeeper turned around to await instructions.
"You continue to stand guard by the door and see if Jiang needs anything. The butler has someone send over the medicine box. Change the dress into a comfortable fabric, something elegant and appropriate."
"Send her several sets to choose from."
Lison has had several girlfriends, all with different body types, two of whom resemble Jiang Shuyin.
At 7:30 p.m., guests began to enter. Leeson had already changed into a custom-made suit that he usually wore to large events and sat in a wicker chair in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, with lush grapevines growing outside.
He remembered his grandfather telling him about the phrase "lush and prosperous". Later, he looked it up online. "Lush and prosperous" means lush vegetation with drooping branches and leaves. But when these four characters are together, it means a happy and prosperous family, a thriving family, and a thriving career.
The culture of Country Z is profound and extensive, and he plans to settle down in Country Z after this trip.
"Sir, the young lady hasn't woken up yet." The butler arrived right on time; it was 4:45. If they missed this time, there wouldn't be enough time to prepare.
Lison smiled and said, "Then let her rest well."
Jiang Shuyin slept soundly until after 2 a.m. When she woke up, she was very hungry. She was about to take something out of her spatial storage to eat when she remembered that there might be surveillance cameras in the room. So she hid under the covers and took out a piece of chocolate to satisfy her hunger.
After finishing eating, I used the water from the bedside table to press down the pressure.
I propped up my pillow and leaned against the headboard while playing on my phone.
Open the community forum and you can receive a signal here; it truly covers global communications.
Out of curiosity, I posted a personal update, setting it to private.
The IP address showed Hawaii. She lingered there for a while, scrolling through pictures and videos until she was satisfied, but ultimately, a novel was more suitable for her to immerse herself in and relax.
Unlike reading books, novels don't make you more and more engrossed. At seven o'clock, the room lit up, and Jiang Shuyin put down her phone, got up, and washed up. The water she spat out while brushing her teeth was black.
Jiang Shuyin silently brushed her teeth three times: once to brush her teeth and twice to clean the toothbrush.
As the door opened, the maid immediately stepped forward and bowed: "Madam, breakfast is ready."
Soy milk with fried eggs and bread is suitable for the lactose intolerance common among people in China. Jiang Shuyin was eating breakfast. There were several other people at the table, but Jiang Shuyin only recognized Lison and Donnie.
After finishing his meal, Lison dabbed his lips with the napkin on his lap and wiped every finger clean before saying, "Jiang, Mr. Duou and Fushit would like to meet with you. There will only be a few of them. Is that alright?"
Jiang Shu nodded.
"Excuse me, are you feeling unwell? I have a family doctor here, and he's very skilled."
Jiang Shuyin's lips twitched slightly: "No need, I'm just too tired." She casually explained, "I've been adrift at sea for four days, and my limbs are just weak."
Leeson expressed his understanding: "Is this enough? There are also some frozen steaks."
Jiang Shuyin really wanted that: "Okay."
She didn't take advantage of him; the cost was deducted from his gas money.
Half an hour later, the thick-cut steak was served, its skin slightly charred, and the juices and oil bursting with an enticing aroma.
After finishing this steak, both body and mind are satisfied.
Seeing that she had put down her knife and fork, the maid immediately cleared away the things in front of her. A professional team came over and applied makeup and touch-ups to Jiang Shuyin's smooth face, finally applying lipstick to enhance her temperament. They then pushed the clothes over for her to choose from.
Leeson raised his hand: "They're all new, I promise."
Jiang Shuyin chose a cool sleeveless long dress with a waist belt that accentuated her figure. The stylist wanted to replace her bracelet with another accessory, but Jiang Shuyin stopped him, saying, "This is very important."
The stylist hates uncooperative people: "But it's so ugly, don't you think? It doesn't flatter your beauty at all, and it's ruining the look of your arms..."
"All my money is in there, understand?"
The stylist gave up, rolled her eyes, and simply abandoned any effort she could put into her: "Lison, that's fine. Your taste is getting worse and worse."
Jiang Shuyin wasn't oblivious, nor was she a spineless coward. With a wave of her hand, those close to her were chilled to the bone by the cold air.
The stylist first felt as if her heels were shackled, and then slipped and fell to the ground after taking another step: "Ouch, the ground is so slippery?"
When everyone looked down at the ground, they noticed that the stylist was wearing ice skate covers.
Leeson raised an eyebrow: "Don't make fun of people in front of them next time, or they might retaliate on the spot."
The stylist also saw the ice on his feet, which was so cold that his ankles were red. In an attempt to break the ice, he slammed his foot on the ground repeatedly, but no cracks appeared. "Damn it," he exclaimed.
Lisen's face turned cold: "Watch your words."
The stylist already disliked the women around Lison, and now that Jiang Shu had taught him a lesson, he couldn't even get Lison's protection. He covered his face and scrambled out.
Leeson took a deep breath and pressed his temples: "Sorry, he has some mental issues."
"I don't argue with mentally ill people." Jiang Shu led the way to change her clothes.
After changing her clothes, her uneven skin tone was revealed. Her upper arms were bright white, while her lower arms were dark, so the stylist's assistant had to add another coat for her.
With everything prepared, Lison led her to Reception Room 1, a rather formal family-style living room consisting of several sofas. All the decorations on the coffee table had been moved away, and some document folders had been placed on it.
"Ms. Jiang Shuyin provided us with the route and fuel, with the requirement that the first stop must be in Country Z."
Mr. Du Ou pointed to his glasses. He had recently settled in Country A and was eager to return to his family: "If the first stop is Country A, I will pay for all the fuel for the rest of the trip."
When Fushit heard him say that, he had a different opinion: "Aren't you afraid that those people will cause you trouble on the road?"
Jiang Shuyin sat a meter away from Lisson, watching the two international celebrities, who had weathered the storms of life, argue heatedly.
The maid brought over drinks and fruit, which Fushit quickly and elegantly drank before continuing his verbal battle with Duou.
Jiang Shu picked up a piece of fruit with her fork: "Didn't you tell them that I only accepted the first stop in Country Z?"
Lison smiled, his dark eyes crinkling: "I already said that."
Duou and Fushit are fluent in six languages, three of which are practically their native tongues, and they are also proficient in Z language. How could they not understand the conversation between these two?
Fushit asked, "After we arrive in Country Z, will there be a plane back to Country A?"
Jiang Shuyin: "Yes."
Duou and Fushit simultaneously looked at the only woman present, their scrutinizing gazes falling on her face. In just two seconds, they could tell that she was not one of their circle, and there was probably little room for negotiation.
Because people outside the circle don't have to abide by the rules agreed upon within the circle.
“Alright, Jiang, I’m willing to go with you to see the beautiful country of Z.”
Du and Ou were the first to compromise, leaving Fushit with no choice but to accept the two-against-one situation.
After the deal was successfully reached, Jiang Shuyin said to Lison, "Set sail as soon as possible; I want to get back early."
After saying that, she didn't linger; she disliked socializing with strangers.
Aside from reading novels, I would lean against the bay window and gaze at the distant sea.
The azure sea crashes against the rocks, and in the distance, the sea merges with the sky, appearing like fish scales spread across the water's surface under the blazing sun.
