Can't Take My Eyes Off You

"Don't give me riddles." Liang Yueze was impatient. "Just be more straightforward."

He wondered why Lu Xingzhi did not react when Jiang Yao wanted to take a photo with him that day. It turned out that he was waiting to set someone up.

Jiang Yao also felt that Lu Xingzhi was a little naggy. She moved toward Lu Xingzhi and, without saying a word, took her phone and placed it by her ear. "Big Brother, when Sister Ruoran came to look for me that day, she accidentally left her phone in my room. Then, I received a call from Lin Qianyun. She told Sister Ruoran never to come back since she went abroad. She even sent a photo of you two at a hotel entrance. From her tone, it shouldn't be the first time she harassed Sister Ruoran. So, I asked Xingzhi to investigate her."

"She called Ruoran?"

Liang Yueze's tone suddenly turned cold. "She told Ruoran not to come back?"

"Yes, and in a particularly aggressive tone too, as if she was accusing Sister Ruoran of coming back," Jiang Yao said. "Xingzhi's investigation so far has found that Lin Qianyun filed for divorce not long after she returned to the country, so Xingzhi and I suspect that Sister Ruoran divorced you because of her."

Jiang Yao smiled lightly. "As for me taking a photo with you, it was entirely because I had nothing better to do. I had an idea to avenge Sister Ruoran, to enrage Lin Qianyun, and put her to the test. Initially, Xingzhi and I decided not to let you know for the time being. We planned to investigate it first before telling you. But now that you know, you can take over this matter. Lin Qianyun is in Jindo City. It will be more convenient for you to investigate her anyway."

Jiang Yao smiled and tossed the matter back to Liang Yueze. She worried that Lu Xingzhi had to work so hard every day and still had to do many other things. It was one thing if Liang Yueze were unaware of it. It was better to keep it hidden for the time being, but since Liang Yueze was aware of it, it was best if he could handle that situation.

Jiang Yao warned him. "But Big Brother, Lin Qianyun doesn't seem easy to fool. She seems quite powerful, so don't let her know if you want to investigate her. Since she can keep an eye on Sister Ruoran, you have to be wary of her contacting Sister Ruoran again, or if she knows that Sister Ruoran is back in Jindo City, she will probably look for her."

"I got it."

Liang Yueze did not say a word as he quickly hung up the phone.

Jiang Yao held the phone and listened to its beeping sound. Then, she threw the phone back to Lu Xingzhi. She shrugged and said, "Go to sleep."

Lu Xingzhi knew that she was deliberately trying to change the topic before the two of them answered the phone. However, it was to tease her, so Lu Xingzhi did not bring it up again.

When he heard Jiang Yao say she wanted to sleep, he put his phone on the bedside table and asked, "Want some soup? When Dad and Mom left, there was still soup on the stove. They said that you can have it for supper if you want some."

"Chicken soup, right?"

Jiang Yao had already smelled it. "I don't have an appetite. I might feel sick if I even smell it."

Lu Xingzhi's heart ached when he heard that. "When will this reaction stop? You have been eating like a rabbit. If this trend continues, you will become as thin as a bamboo pole."
