You can repay me if you want.
After everything was settled, Jiang Shuiying worked with the staff in the court to organize the materials. There were also some records that required her cooperation. It was late at night when everything was done, and she walked out of the court gate alone.
But what she didn't expect was that the reporters outside the court hadn't dispersed yet. When they saw Jiang Shuiying coming out, they all swarmed over. It was the same scene when she came out of the court just after Yan Ming died.
The only difference was that she had bodyguards with her at that time, but this time she was alone, dealing with the noisy reporters alone.
"Ms. Jiang Shuiying, when did you divorce Yan Ming? Were all these things you did planned for a long time?"
"Ms. Jiang Shuiying, you actually gave up all your property. What's your intention in doing this? Are you really not just hyping it up?"
"Ms. Jiang Shuiying..."
Noisy sounds came one after another, Jiang Shuiying's eyes were irritated, she didn't want to say anything, she just wanted to leave this place quickly.
"I've told the court everything I need to say, and it will be announced when the time comes. I'm no longer a celebrity, nor am I Yan Ming's wife. Please stop asking!"
Jiang Shuiying's words did not stop the reporters. Instead, they asked more intense questions. She seemed to have turned into a fish, drowning in the microphones and questions that surrounded her.
At this moment, a pair of big hands pushed through the crowd and reached out to Jiang Shuiying. She looked up and saw a familiar figure appear among the crowd of reporters.
It’s Luo Yuwen.
"Hurry, Jiang Shuiying, pull me!"
Jiang Shuiying held the hand in front of her. The hands were a little rough, and there were even some calluses on the palms, but they were surprisingly strong.
With their hands tightly clasped, Luo Yuwen jogged ahead with Jiang Shuiying, breaking away from the reporters' blockade, and the two returned to Luo Yuwen's SUV.
In order to prevent the reporters from catching up, Luo Yuwen drove around a few corners, got rid of the reporters, and stopped next to a quiet park.
Jiang Shuiying sat in the passenger seat, straightened her clothes, looked at Luo Yuwen and said, "How come you have time to come? Is Yan Ying finished with the interrogation?"
Logically speaking, Luo Yuwen should be staying in the police station at this time waiting for the murderer of his brother to confess, but at this moment he was beside her and didn't say anything, which made Jiang Shuiying feel very strange.
"Luo Yuwen, why don't you speak?"
The lights inside the car were dim yellow, shining on Luo Yuwen's profile. His eyes were drooping on his high nose bridge. Jiang Shuiying couldn't understand what Luo Yuwen was thinking.
Logically speaking, he should be happy that the murderer of his brother was caught. What is going on?
After a few seconds of silence, Luo Yuwen told Jiang Shuiying that Yan Ying had confessed and revealed a lot of things. Since he was not a policeman, it was inconvenient for him to get involved. He just recorded his statement as usual and then left. That was why he had time to come to Jiang Shuiying.
According to Zhong Yun, trafficking in living organs is a major criminal case and Yan Ying will not escape the death penalty, so the two can rest assured.
Hearing this, Jiang Shuiying felt relieved. Fortunately, evil will be punished, and all her efforts over the years have not been in vain.
But what Luo Yuwen said next made Jiang Shuiying stunned.
Luo Yuwen gripped the steering wheel tightly with both hands, his head slightly lowered. Jiang Shuiying could only see his profile as he seemed to be hesitant to speak.
"Jiang Shuiying, I...I really don't know how to thank you."
"At first I didn't know why you dragged me into this. I even doubted you. I didn't know why you helped me, but you did let me know the truth."
Luo Yuwen let go of the steering wheel, turned around and looked into Jiang Shuiying's eyes, and said to her solemnly:
"Jiang Shuiying, thank you so much, I have no way to repay you."
After listening to this, Jiang Shuiying looked away and turned to look at the empty park outside the car. From an angle where Luo Yuwen couldn't see, her eyes seemed a little lonely.
"I didn't do anything. We are all made of flesh and blood. I can't just watch them get away with murder."
After these words were spoken, neither of them spoke. There was some silence in the car. Jiang Shuiying was the first to break the silence.
"But...if you want to repay me, I can accept it."
Jiang Shuiying turned her head back, curled the corners of her mouth, and her expression returned to its previous cunning look.
Luo Yuwen still maintained his previous posture, with his hands placed peacefully on his legs, and his eyes looking at Jiang Shuiying were very sincere.
Seeing him like this, Jiang Shuiying leaned her elbows on the car window, supported her head with her slender fingers, and looked at Luo Yuwen carefully from top to bottom.
Luo Yuwen hadn't had time to deal with the stubble from the previous investigation, and now it appeared on his stern face, adding a hint of vicissitudes. Looking down, he saw the plump muscles wrapped in the black vest, rising and falling with his breathing, and then...
Luo Yuwen seemed not to feel Jiang Shuiying's gaze, and was just waiting for her to speak seriously.
Jiang Shuiying licked her teeth quietly, retracted her gaze, and said:
"How about...you pledge yourself to me?"
"What?"
Hearing Jiang Shuiying say this, Luo Yuwen's expression finally couldn't hold up anymore and cracks appeared on his face. His ears suddenly turned red, and his originally relaxed hands were clenched into fists and placed on his knees.
"Jiang Shuiying, I'm serious. Don't play tricks on me at this time."
Jiang Shuiying leaned back in her chair, spread her hands, and said helplessly:
"I'm serious, too. I don't need anything. That box of jewelry alone is enough to last me a lifetime. What else do you want from me?"
"I have no shortage of money, but people..."
Jiang Shuiying's gaze began to wander on Luo Yuwen again.
This time Luo Yuwen was not so generous. He turned to the steering wheel as if he was annoyed, hugged his leather jacket tightly, stopped looking at her, and mumbled.
"Except, except this, I can do anything else you want me to do."
Jiang Shuiying didn't say anything, just leaned back in the chair, staring at his profile without saying a word.
A strange and ambiguous atmosphere began to fill the car. Luo Yuwen knew that Jiang Shuiying was staring at him, but he didn't know what to do. He could only hold on to his pants tightly and remain silent.
In the end, Jiang Shuiying let him go.
"Pfft, alright, I'm just teasing you."
"The court is going to take inventory of the Yan family's property these days, so I have to move out as soon as possible. If you want to repay me, please help me move."
"By the way, be my bodyguard for a few days. I'm all alone now. If they have someone secretly watching me, it would be dangerous."
After saying that, Jiang Shuiying fastened her seat belt again and asked Luo Yuwen to take her back to Yan's house.
Luo Yuwen seemed to be relieved of a heavy burden, and he relaxed completely. He started the car and drove towards Yan's house. However, Jiang Shuiying found that the blush on his ears never went away.
Jiang Shuiying was in a good mood. She opened the car window and the cool night breeze ruffled her curly hair.
***
It was almost dawn when the two returned to Yan's house. As soon as Luo Yuwen got out of the car, he found that the surroundings were very quiet, and there was only a small reception room with lights on in the huge building. The former bustle and glory were no longer what they used to be.
Jiang Shuiying took him into the reception room. On the way, Jiang Shuiying told him that she had dismissed the servants a long time ago and gave each of them a generous bonus, which could be regarded as a good deed with Yan Ming's money.
After entering the reception room, the two were surprised to find that the butler was still in the room and seemed to be waiting for someone.
The butler's bonus was much more than that of an ordinary servant, and Jiang Shuiying's luggage had already been packed, so Jiang Shuiying was a little shocked when she saw the butler still in his butler's uniform.
"Why didn't you leave?"
After hearing Jiang Shuiying's voice, the housekeeper immediately ran to her, clasped his hands in white gloves, and answered excitedly:
"Miss! You're back!"
"Miss, I've packed your luggage again. The clothes you wear frequently and those you don't wear frequently are placed in different boxes. It will be convenient for you to organize them later."
"Miss, are you hungry? Do you need a midnight snack?"
The housekeeper's endless concern gave Jiang Shuiying a headache. She sat on a chair rubbing her temples, while Luo Yuwen stood beside her.
"I'm not hungry. Please pour me a glass of water and pour him one too."
The housekeeper didn't look at Luo Yuwen, his eyes were always on Jiang Shuiying, and he replied:
"Yes, miss."
Luo Yuwen observed the two of them quietly without saying a word.
The housekeeper brought some warm water and handed it to Jiang Shuiying, while Luo Yuwen placed some on the table next to him.
Jiang Shuiying took a sip and sighed when she saw the butler standing aside with a tray in his arms, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
"Just say whatever you want to say. I'll be leaving soon."
The housekeeper threw the tray as if he had received an order, squatted in front of Jiang Shuiying, put his hands on her knees, and looked up at her.
"Miss, please let me be with you. You can't live without someone to take care of you in the future. Let me come. I am willing to stay with you forever."
Luo Yuwen had been busy investigating the case before and didn't pay much attention to it. This time, when there were only three of them, Luo Yuwen discovered that the housekeeper was actually very young, younger than himself, and looked about the same age as Jiang Shuiying.
Because he often stays indoors, his skin is very fair, his body is well-proportioned and slender, and he is a handsome man.
At this moment, the man was lying on Jiang Shuiying's knees and begging pitifully. Luo Yuwen touched his nose and looked at Jiang Shuiying quietly to see how she would react.
Jiang Shuiying sighed again, patted the housekeeper's hand, and her voice became softer.
"I really appreciate it, but no."
"You are very important in this matter. Without you, we don't know how much resistance we would face."
"Once we leave here, I'm not a lady or a lady, and you're not a housekeeper. We both have to live our own lives well."
Luo Yuwen was listening on the side, guessing that what Jiang Shuiying was talking about was probably about reporting Yan Ming and Yan Ying.
It turns out that Jiang Shuiying has been planning this play for so long?
The housekeeper squatting on the ground became visibly depressed after hearing Jiang Shuiying's answer, and held Jiang Shuiying's hand in frustration.
"Then... can I come visit you later?"
Jiang Shuiying smiled and nodded, "Of course, after we leave here, we will still be friends."
This little incident with the butler didn't delay the event for long. In the end, the butler and Luo Yuwen worked together to move Jiang Shuiying's luggage into Luo Yuwen's car. The amount of luggage was neither too much nor too little, but fortunately the car was spacious enough and there was enough space.
Finally, Jiang Shuiying sat in the passenger seat and completely left the mansion where she had lived for three years.
She leaned against the car window, letting her thoughts wander.
The huge rock pressing on her chest finally disappeared. At this moment, she and Luo Yuwen were both a little confused.
What to do next? Jiang Shuiying hasn't figured it out yet.
Luo Yuwen knew that she needed some time to relax and didn't want to disturb her, but Luo Yuwen found that Jiang Shuiying didn't give him the address, so he didn't know where they were going next.
Luo Yuwen's questioning voice brought Jiang Shuiying back to her senses. After she came to her senses, she gave Luo Yuwen an address, which was a small apartment she had bought in the city in her early years.
The lanes were almost unobstructed in the early morning, and Luo Yuwen quickly drove to his destination, but when the two got out of the car, Jiang Shuiying found that the lights in his small apartment were on.
Luo Yuwen also felt strange and asked, "What's going on, Jiang Shuiying? Is there a thief in your house?"
"Or is this not your home?"
Jiang Shuiying thought for a moment before slapping her head and saying, "I've rented out this apartment! I forgot!"
After that, Jiang Shuiying gave Luo Yuwen a new address, which was a two-bedroom apartment in a quiet residential area. However, when the two arrived, they found that someone was living there.
Jiang Shuiying sat in the passenger seat, feeling a little embarrassed. "Oh, I packed up the house and gave it to the agent a long time ago. I was so busy that I forgot."
She bit her lips, and her expression was pitiful.
"What should I do, Luo Yuwen? I have nowhere to go tonight."
"I wonder if there's any kind soul out there who could take me in tonight?"
