Chapter 109 Her face, for the madam to use?
My surname is Che.
"Sister Che, this villa is huge! I've never seen such a big villa before. Do you and your partner live here?"
Che Ruoxue said with a smile, "My husband is very busy. He often travels for work, and sometimes he even goes abroad. So, the only people who accompany me are the maid and my private doctor."
She looked at Dr. Gao and said, “My doctor comes once a day. Sometimes he just gives me an injection and leaves. We are very happy that you are here today. It has been a long time since we have seen any new faces. Let’s have a meal together.”
"A shot?" Yu Xiaoluo looked at Che Ruoxue. "Sister Che, are you sick?"
The air froze instantly, and even the butler, who had returned after giving his instructions, stiffened.
They would never dare to say such a thing, because the last person to ask it was buried under the big plum tree in the back garden.
Che Ruoxue's expression froze for a second, but she quickly regained her smile. "Yes, I've had injections for many years. There's nothing I can do; this leg is very difficult to heal."
Yu Xiaoluo stopped asking questions and looked around curiously. "Sister Che, your house is so beautiful! We are architecture students, can we take a look around?"
The butler said in a deep voice, "How dare you! This is not a museum; you are not allowed to visit here at will."
Che Ruoxue smiled and said, "Butler, please don't be so talkative. Since you two like it, please feel free to visit. Except for the bedroom and study, which are relatively private places, please feel free to look around the rest of the room. Are you thirsty? Please have some tea."
"Okay." Yu Xiaoluo gulped down the whole cup of tea, while Bao Shuoyu took two sips and put it down.
"Thank you for your hospitality, Sister Che. Let's go for our visit now."
"Okay, go ahead."
Watching their backs as they walked upstairs, Che Ruoxue's smile slowly faded, and she said quietly to the housekeeper, "Let's start the feast early, lest something goes wrong if we're late."
The butler nodded and said in a low voice, "Madam, should we keep an eye on them?"
"Let them be, they'll be ours soon enough anyway."
Dr. Gao suddenly said quietly, "That woman looks quite nice."
Che Ruoxue giggled. "What, you've taken a fancy to her?"
"How about we peel off her face and give it to the madam to use?"
Che Youxue stroked her face. Although her face was still beautiful, it had a hint of vicissitude. She thought of Yu Xiaoluo's fair and sweet face and her heart was still moved.
"Am I at the right age?"
“Madam, you always deserve the best, you are perfectly suited for it. Once we bring that blood bank here, you will be able to stand up again.”
Che Ruoxue smiled happily, but the sunlight streaming through the slanted windows of the hall shone on her beautiful face, making it appear extremely cold.
Yu Xiaoluo and Bao Shuoyu went up two floors first. They looked around and looked at everything. Yu Xiaoluo even made some noises, saying, "Oh my god, what kind of material is this? It's so gorgeous and beautiful. Wow, what is this? It looks quite old and valuable."
Yes, since they are visiting the building as architecture students, they have to put on a show.
Yu Xiaoluo looked up but didn't see any surveillance cameras in the corridor, so she whispered, "Brother Shuoyu, do you think there's something wrong with these people? This woman seems very warm and hospitable, but I have a bad feeling about her."
Bao Shuyu simply replied, "Yes, it's right to believe in yourself."
Yu Xiaolu rolled her eyes at him. "Let's hurry up and find Chu Haoxuan's sister. We can't seem to sense any presence here. Let's go check the third floor."
Bao Shuoyu added casually, "Do you think a cripple could hide someone upstairs? The third floor, no less. It would be difficult for her to even get up there herself."
Yu Xiaolu was speechless for a moment. This was an old-style villa without an elevator.
Ms. Che is clearly the owner here. Since her husband is away from home for long periods of time, she has the final say in everything.
If Chu Haoyue were to be hidden by her, she could only hide him on the first floor or in the basement.
However, a visit should be conducted in a proper manner. They briefly looked around the third floor and came down. Just as they were about to return to the first floor for a more thorough tour, the butler stopped them. "Miss and sir, the welcoming banquet prepared for you by our mistress is ready."
Yu Xiaoluo was a little surprised. Was it that fast? Was this the speed of pre-made dishes?
Since I've already invited them, I shouldn't wander around aimlessly. I'll just eat first and then find another opportunity later to avoid arousing their suspicion.
At this point, the dishes were placed on the table one by one. The plates were large, but there were very few dishes. They were all very expensive dishes, and they looked very exquisite and beautiful, more like works of art than food.
Yu Xiaolu thought to herself, "Oh my god, this plate is only enough for me to pick up a spoonful of food once."
Hmm, the vegetables don't look poisonous, so it's safe to eat them.
The butler then set out tableware and wine glasses next to them, and placed a bottle of red wine in front of Che Ruoxue.
Che Ruoxue looked at them with a smile in her eyes. "This was sent back by my husband from abroad. It comes from a very prestigious winery. This winery only supplies a limited number of bottles to the elite. My husband was fortunate enough to get a few bottles. He had been wanting to drink them for a while, but one or two people couldn't finish them. Today, it's unusual for the place to be so lively. So, how about we join Dr. Gao, this young lady, and my husband for a good drink?"
Yu Xiaoluo was a little embarrassed. She had never drunk alcohol in this life. After all, she was a minor girl before, and now she had just come of age and had no chance to drink. She also didn't like it usually.
She looked at Bao Shuyu, who nodded. "Thank you for your kindness, Miss Che. We don't usually drink, but since you're so kind, we'll gladly accept."
Che Ruxue nodded in satisfaction, and then the butler poured red wine for everyone present.
Given Che Ruoxue's insistence on having two strangers dine with her, how could Yu Xiaoluo, who has lived for over a thousand years, possibly believe that Che Ruoxue's actions were merely out of hospitality?
Who would believe her? No way!
The wine is unopened; the butler just opened it with a wine vessel. There's nothing wrong with it. The cups and bowls in front of it are spotless and have no strange smell. There's nothing wrong with them either.
Then—Yu Xiaoluo noticed that Miss Che and Dr. Gao's chopsticks were different from theirs.
She could understand if the chopsticks were different because they were guests, but Dr. Gao was clearly a guest, not the host, so why was he using the same chopsticks as her?
Or perhaps they often dine together, creating a relationship that is difficult to define?
After all, her husband is away from home for extended periods.
Yu Xiaoluo noticed that Che Ruxue's marital palace was dim and knew what was going on.
