Her face was deathly pale, and as she spoke, she slowly lowered her head, her expression full of exhaustion.
The housekeeper watched her silently, and couldn't help but be startled.
Li Ruo had only been locked up for a week, but she had lost a lot of weight. Even though the cheongsam was chosen according to her size, it looked loose and empty on her.
Is it really that unbearable?
She thought to herself for a moment, then couldn't help but ask, "You really don't want to stay here anymore?"
The two had spent a considerable amount of time together and got along well, so there must have been some feelings between them.
If Li Ruo were forced into a corner and did something irreversible in a moment of impulse, she feared she would never forgive herself for the rest of her life.
Unexpectedly, the housekeeper suddenly changed her tune. Li Ruo was slightly taken aback, and when she looked up again, her face was full of surprise: "Auntie, you're not going to persuade me anymore?"
Ever since she was locked up, the housekeeper had been trying to persuade her to give in, but this was the first time she had changed her tune.
Although it was just a simple sentence, she still managed to glean some clues from it.
Hearing Li Ruo's words, the aunt sighed helplessly: "You and I are both women. I've also figured it out. Rather than revolving around a man, it's better to live a wonderful life on your own. After all, who says that women have to rely on men?"
Survival is more important!
Upon hearing this, Li Ruo was somewhat surprised, but at the same time, a glimmer of hope instantly appeared in her eyes.
Coming to her senses, she quickly stepped forward and grabbed the other person's hand, her eyes full of expectation: "Auntie, it's so good that you think this way. In that case, could you please help me?"
There were many bodyguards outside, and she couldn't leave by herself. But if someone helped her, her chances would be much better!
"this……"
However, upon hearing this, the housekeeper subconsciously frowned, looking somewhat troubled.
Although she sympathized with Li Ruo, she never thought of getting herself involved. After all, she knew Wen Huaiyan's methods and dared not risk her life.
Noticing her hesitation, Li Ruo grew even more anxious: "Auntie, please help me! If I stay locked up any longer, I'll really go crazy..."
As she spoke, she took a deep breath and was about to kneel down.
"Miss Li, you mustn't, you mustn't!"
Seeing this, the housekeeper quickly stepped forward to stop her, her face filled with terror.
In her heart, although Li Ruo was not the proper Madam Wen, her status was extremely different, so how could she bow to her?
However, Li Ruo didn't mind at all. As long as she could leave now, even if there was only a sliver of hope, she would hold on to it tightly.
Thinking of this, she took a deep breath and continued, "Auntie, I know you can't let me out, so please do me a favor, okay? I promise I won't make things difficult for you."
She looked so pitiful at that moment, her big eyes filled with tears, which softened the housekeeper's heart.
Remembering how much Li Ruo had helped her before, she gritted her teeth and nodded firmly, "Okay, I'll help you!"
...
At the same time, Jiang Ze and Lyon were frantically searching for Li Ruo everywhere.
Ever since Wen Huaiyan sent people to drive Li Ruo out last time, Jiang Ze has concluded that Wen Huaiyan must have imprisoned Li Ruo somewhere.
It is known that Huaiyan is always protected by bodyguards when she goes out, so they can't get close to her or ask her any questions.
Even the Wen family was given a strict order by Wen Huaiyan: if they saw the two of them, they should be kicked out immediately.
Jiang Ze was nearly frantic, having no chance to find or inquire about any clues about Li Ruo.
"Damn it, where did Wen Huaiyan hide her?"
However, just when the two were in a state of extreme anxiety, a woman who was completely covered up approached them.
“Mr. Jiang, I know Miss Li’s whereabouts.”
Lyon had been living in the Wen family for a while, and he recognized the housekeeper's voice almost immediately. He widened his eyes and exclaimed, "Auntie..."
Before he could even utter the address, the housekeeper interrupted him: "Shh, don't speak!"
She first whispered a word of protest, then cautiously looked around to make sure no one was watching before speaking, "This isn't the place to talk. Come with me."
After all, Wen Huaiyan has many spies, and in order to prevent Li Ruo from leaving, he might send someone to keep an eye on Jiang Ze and Lyon's movements.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ze and Lyon exchanged a glance and, without hesitation, hurriedly followed behind her.
The housekeeper hurried along until she arrived at a secluded place, at which point she finally looked up and revealed her face: "Miss Li is currently being held captive in the villa."
After Wen Huaiyan stormed off yesterday, he sent someone to bring Li Ruo back early this morning.
Only after settling everyone in did she have a chance to sneak out.
"What did you say?"
Although he had suspected it before, Jiang Ze still stared wide-eyed in disbelief upon hearing the housekeeper's personal confirmation, then flew into a rage: "That bastard, this is illegal imprisonment, how dare he?"
As he spoke, he pulled out his phone: "I'm going to call the police..."
"no!"
Seeing this, the housekeeper hurriedly stopped him: "If Mr. Wen finds out about this, I'm afraid you will face even more severe retaliation."
