Zhong Huaifeng saw what was on her mind and said, "Just ask if you want to know."
Bu Tiange said, "Mr. Jiang thinks this house is haunted. What do you think?"
Zhong Huaifeng nodded seriously, "Maybe."
Bu Tiange suddenly asked, "Doctor Zhong, do you have anything else to do today?"
"what you up to?"
Bu Tiange smiled and looked away from the yellowed family portrait. "I would like to invite Dr. Zhong to join me in visiting the Jiang family at night."
night.
The large pendulum clock in the living room slowly pointed to the Roman numeral "ten". The housekeeper helped Mr. Jiang take sleeping pills and go to sleep, then returned to the living room.
Ever since that incident nineteen years ago, Mr. Jiang has had trouble sleeping. It takes him a long and difficult time from lying down to falling asleep.
The back garden is quiet and deserted, the autumn air deepens, sparse shadows are slanted, and the evening lights by the pavilion faithfully illuminate a small piece of the night.
Bu Tiange squatted at the foot of the wall and smoked. The light of the cigarette was faint, like starlight falling into the mortal world.
She took out her cell phone, checked the time, and removed the cigarette butt from between her lips.
"Miss Jiang, do you have something to talk to me about?"
Jiang Yunyan, wearing a plain white dress, came out from behind the wall.
Bu Tiange stood up and said coldly, "Don't scare people in the future, otherwise I might mistake you for a ghost and kill you, understand?"
Jiang Yunyan looked at her carefully——
The night light was so dim that Bu Tiange suspected that she could not see anything.
After a long pause, she managed to utter, "Your name is Bu Tiange?"
"Yes." Bu Tiange crushed the cigarette butt, "Miss Jiang, you are not feeling well, go to bed early."
"I don't care what your purpose is in approaching my grandfather. I advise you to stay away from him. The Jiang family is not something you can use whenever you want."
Jiang Yunyan tried to make her attitude seem colder and harder, but Bu Tiange burst out laughing.
Jiang Yunyan was slightly annoyed, "What are you laughing at?"
"Miss Jiang, I was hired by your grandfather, and I hope you understand this."
Bu Tiange bent over to pick up the cigarette butt and wrapped it with a tissue.
She was so calm and composed that even a small, careless movement of hers embodied the elegance of European aristocracy.
Jiang Yunyan felt a strong sense of frustration.
She asked again: "What about Dr. Zhong? Do you know him?"
"Does it matter to you whether I know him or not?" Bu Tiange chuckled.
Jiang Yunyan was speechless.
Was she supposed to admit in front of a woman of unknown origin that she loved Zhong Huaifeng? How could this save her, the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, from losing face?
The housekeeper walked out of the villa with a flashlight and said to Bu Tiange, "Miss Bu, the master has gone to bed."
At this moment, there was a sound of smashing things suddenly coming from the second floor. The retro bedside lamp was thrown to the floor, the lampshade broke into several pieces, and the scene was in a mess.
Then the lights came on.
The old housekeeper was accustomed to such situations, but Jiang Yunyan's face turned pale and she was very scared.
Bu Tiange glanced at Jiang Yunyan, a look of disdain forming on his lips.
She walked up to the housekeeper and said, "Take me up."
"You see, this is the situation," the butler explained as he went upstairs. "Since six months ago, the master has had nightmares from time to time, and every time he shouts about killing someone and paying with his life."
Bu Tiange asked: "Do you know what he means?"
The housekeeper shook his head. "I've been with the old master for almost thirty years. He's always been kind to everyone, and I've never heard of him making enemies with anyone."
The restlessness gradually subsided. Zhong Huaifeng had been on the second floor and must have managed to calm the old man down by now.
Bu Tiange stood at the last step of the escalator and suddenly asked, "When did Dr. Zhong come to the Jiang family?"
