Seeing Si Moshen agree so readily, Jiang Zhirou was satisfied and lay back on the bed.
She had fainted suddenly just now, and her head was still a bit dizzy.
Her current body was in desperate need of exercise. Her arms were so thin that they seemed to break with a single snap. Her current task was to take good care of herself so that she would have enough energy to deal with what was to come.
She not only wanted Kai to be punished, but also wanted to find the person who had sent her away back then.
She also had to investigate the man who had frequently appeared in the Mexican black factory.
Every time that man appeared, he was always dressed in a long robe, and his face was like being covered in a layer of fog. Jiang Zhirou just couldn't remember what he looked like.
She could only recall a general outline.
She always had a strange feeling that that man... must not be simple...
...
Si Moshen stayed by the bedside until the person on the bed fell into a deep sleep and her breathing became even. Only then did he tiptoe out of the room.
Uncle Shen, who was waiting outside the door, immediately stepped forward when he saw the door open.
Just as he was about to speak, Si Moshen immediately made a gesture for silence, then glanced back.
He motioned Uncle Shen not to speak.
Only then did Uncle Shen notice that Jiang Zhirou in the room was already asleep.
Si Moshen gently closed the door and walked downstairs before speaking to Uncle Shen.
"What did Chi Yu say?"
Uncle Shen repeated what he had just said to Chi Yu to Si Moshen.
After listening, Si Moshen gave a faint hum, with little emotion on his face.
He instructed Uncle Shen, "Zhirou is asleep. Ask the kitchen to prepare some appetizing hot porridge for her. Send it to her room when she wakes up."
"Yes, Third Master."
Just as Uncle Shen turned around to leave, he was suddenly called back by Si Moshen.
"By the way, tell the kitchen not to add red beans. She doesn't like them."
Si Moshen added this.
Uncle Shen paused for a moment, then nodded at him. "Understood, Third Master." He then turned around and walked towards the kitchen.
Jiang Zhirou didn't like the taste of red beans, but Qingmian seemed to like it quite a bit.
He didn't know if different personalities of the same person would have different eating habits.
But since the current person was Jiang Zhirou, he could only do as Si Moshen had instructed.
...
...
At the same time, in the imperial capital.
After hanging up the phone, Chi Yu's face looked a bit grim.
A situation like this had never happened before.
Qingmian had clearly answered the video call but didn't show her face and immediately hung up.
No matter how he thought about it, he felt something was off.
The next second, Chi Yu took out his phone and dialed Song Jinghao's number.
The call was answered immediately.
Without waiting for Song Jinghao to speak, Chi Yu immediately said, "Jinghao, keep a close eye on the entertainment company recently. Also, pay more attention to the projects of the head - office. I'm going to fly to Country A in the next two days."
Hearing this, Song Jinghao on the other end of the phone was obviously stunned for a moment.
He knew that Qingmian had a performance on Monday and that Chi Yu was going to go.
But there were still two days until the performance, and the work arrangements for these days had been set long ago. Chi Yu wasn't the kind of person who would suddenly change his mind.
Thinking of this, Song Jinghao also sensed something was wrong. His face darkened. "Is something wrong with your wife?"
"No."
Hearing the words "something wrong", Chi Yu subconsciously refuted.
His temple throbbed non - stop.
Song Jinghao on the other end of the phone heard Chi Yu's slightly excited voice. His face looked even grimmer than before.
Chi Yu was always very calm when dealing with things. For him to be in such a hurry, something bad must have happened.
But Song Jinghao didn't feel it was convenient to ask too much. "Go ahead. I'll take care of the company. Don't worry. Just focus on your business."
"Okay." Chi Yu replied heavily. Just as he was about to hang up the phone, he suddenly thought of something and instructed Song Jinghao, "Contact Chi Weichuan for the entertainment company and ask him to start work immediately."
Since Chi Weichuan had returned to the imperial capital, he had been nowhere to be seen. Chi Yu was a bit worried for a moment.
Hearing this, Song Jinghao on the other end of the phone gave a soft snort. "Come on, don't worry. I'll handle things here in the imperial capital. You can just go to Country A with peace of mind."
"Thanks."
Chi Yu said to the person on the other end of the phone.
Hearing this, Song Jinghao frowned. Just as he was about to say "no need to thank", the person on the other end had already hung up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Chi Yu walked out of the bedroom and turned into the cat room.
Hearing the noise, Xiaoju immediately jumped off the hammock beside the bed and ran to Chi Yu's feet.
Chi Yu came in and out, filled the feeder, and prepared enough water for Xiaoju. Then he picked up the kitten.
While stroking the cat's head, he said, "Dad is going on a long trip for a few days to pick up mom. You stay at home and eat on time. Don't starve yourself thin. Otherwise, when your mom comes back and sees, she'll blame me for not taking good care of you."
As if understanding, Xiaoju tilted its head and meowed twice at Chi Yu. Then it jumped out of his arms and back onto the hammock where it had been sleeping.
It seemed to be telling Chi Yu to rest assured.
After taking care of everything, Chi Yu didn't hesitate at all. He picked up the car keys on the table and drove to the airport.
It was early morning in the imperial capital. The streets were no longer bustling as they were during the day. Instead, it was very quiet at night.
All that was left was the howling wind outside the window.
Chi Yu couldn't hear it, but the 120 mph speed shown on the dashboard and the trees rapidly receding on the side of the road clearly told him that the wind was strong.
...
...
Jiang Zhirou had a good sleep this time. There was no noise, and she didn't have frequent dreams like before.
This time, she slept until the next day.
Just as Jiang Zhirou was about to lift the quilt and get out of bed, there came a knock on the door.
"Knock, knock, knock."
Jiang Zhirou stopped her action of lifting the quilt. "Come in."
The next second, the door was pushed open, and a maid walked in with a bowl of cooked bird's nest porridge.
"Miss, this was prepared by Third Master. He said your body is too weak now and you need to replenish more."
As soon as the maid finished speaking, Jiang Zhirou suddenly called out to her, "Cecilia?"
Her voice carried a hint of hesitation.
As soon as she said this, the woman in front of her stiffened. She looked at Jiang Zhirou in front of her in disbelief. "Miss?"
Her voice trembled slightly.
A deep smile appeared on Jiang Zhirou's lips. "It really is you."
Cecilia was the maid who had been in charge of her three meals when she was in Yuelan when she was a child.
Seeing a familiar face, Jiang Zhirou couldn't help but feel a sense of familiarity.
Hearing this, Cecilia's voice was clearly choked with sobs. "Miss, you finally recognize me."
Hearing this, Jiang Zhirou's expression froze. Shen Qingmian didn't know her, so of course she couldn't recognize her.
She didn't know how to describe her current emotions, so she simply changed the topic.
Her gaze fell on the bowl of bird's nest in Cecilia's hand.
"Cecilia, I like red bean flavor. Have you forgotten?"
