Reincarnation: Multi-skilled Goddess Is So Beautiful!
Chapter 382 - Lu Jingye Came to Take Zi Yi Home
Ansel did not admit it and at that moment, a voice sounded. “Count, we have caught the woman downstairs.”
The Count’s express sank. “Bring her up.”
Zi Yi looked at Ansel and said, “That woman entered this room after Mr. Ansel had left.”
Ian followed up by saying, “I’m pretty curious as to why Big Bro brought Allen into the studio that father had specially prepared for the painters? Didn’t he previously mention that without his permission, no one is allowed to come in?”
Ansel knew that he had been made use of by Allen when Zi Yi explained about that woman.
Now that he heard what Ian said, his heart sank for a second and his brain swiftly thought up a reason he could use to escape from this predicament.
“Father, I…”
“Ansel, you shut up.”
The Count knew what he wanted to do when he saw his expression. After yelling at him, he turned to look at the door.
That woman’s lungs were injured by Lu Jingye’s punch and she fought with a group of bodyguards after she fell downstairs. Right now, she was detained by two bodyguards and she did not have the strength to fight back in the slightest.
The two bodyguards did not lead her in. Instead, they stopped in the corridor outside the door.
The Count ordered, “Bring Mr. Allen out.”
The two bodyguards standing in the room walked over to Allen and carried him outside and threw him next to the woman.
Allen’s eyes widened in fear when he saw her current appearance.
Ansel looked at Allen and that woman and he flew into a rage. “Allen, what’s with this woman here?!”
Ian opened his mouth at the same time. “Big Bro, why don’t you explain first as to what is going on here?”
“You–” Just as Ian wanted to speak, he was pressured by Count Alistair’s displeased gaze.
Allen’s mind was in a blank state and he did not know what to do.
Just then, the woman lying next to him moved.
Allen seemed to have thought of something and immediately looked towards Ansel and said, “Wasn’t it Ansel who let her in?”
“You’re talking nonsense!”
Ansel looked at Allen who was obviously trying to frame him and wished that he could kill him at once.
“Big Bro, what are you trying to do? If I’m not mistaken, this woman should be a killer?”
The moment Ian said that, the Count’s expression sank even more.
Zi Yi asked a question at that moment, “Where did you hide my cousin?”
Her words caused the Count and the rest to look in her direction.
Zi Yi’s expression was taut as she said, “I wish to see the surveillance.”
The Count said to Ian, “Immediately get someone to bring up the surveillance.”
When Ansel heard what they were going to do, he was not scared, as he had already gotten his men to tamper with it.
Ian nodded and took out his phone to make a call. He got the men inside the control room to bring up the surveillance and send the footage where Dou Xiangling and Meng He were together to his phone.
Soon, a video was sent to his phone.
After the Count watched the video, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
“Send someone to search at once. Be sure to find Miss Dou.”
“Yes!”
The group of bodyguards swiftly left.
Ian revealed a worried expression. “Miss Dou is from the Dou Family. If something were to happen…”
He deliberately stopped talking, but everyone at present could already guess what would be the consequences.
The Count looked at Ansel with an expression that seemed to say that he had disappointed him greatly.
Ansel did not even have a chance to argue his way out of the situation and his complexion paled. He clearly got his men to tamper with the surveillance, so what was going on?!
But when he thought of the woman in cahoots with Allen, he still felt unjust as he hastily said, “Father, I honestly don’t know this woman.”
Who would have the spare thought to hear him explain himself? The Count was thinking of how to punish Ansel, so that he could explain it to the Dou Family.
Just then, the housekeeper’s urgent voice sounded from outside the door. “Count, the President of Lu Group requests to see you.”
“President Lu? Lu Jingye? Why is he here?”
The Count was particularly surprised and asked, “Did he say what he wanted to see me for?”
It was evening right now and if Lu Jingye was looking for him for a collaboration, he would not have chosen to come at this time.
“He said…” The housekeeper had unexpectedly hesitated for a moment before he said, “He said that he’s here to pick up his girlfriend and his girlfriend’s cousin to take them home.”
The Count subconsciously turned to look at Zi Yi.
Ian had also looked in her direction and suddenly asked, “Miss Zi, where are your shoes?”
Everyone then shifted their line of sight towards her feet.
Zi Yi said with a cold expression. “I took off my shoes in order to avoid getting caught by Ansel’s men.”
The expressions of the Count and Ian darkened at the same time. With a livid expression, they looked towards Ansel.
Ansel looked at the Count and called out, “Father…”
The Count walked towards Ansel who was confused by the situation and raised his hands to give him two tight slaps. He then said to the housekeeper, “Invite President Lu to my study room and inform him that I’ll be there right away.”
“I understand.” The housekeeper immediately went to meet with President Lu.
The Count then shifted his gaze to Zi Yi.
At that moment, Ian asked in a low voice, “Father, what should we do now?”
Their family could not possibly have a fall out with Lu Jingye just because of this incident.
Based on Lu Jingye’s skills in the business world coupled with the Lu Family behind him, it would not be beneficial for them to have a falling out.
The Count’s expression became even more livid. He then looked towards Ansel and yelled, “You’re never able to achieve anything and yet you are always capable of ruining things!”
The Count looked at Zi Yi and quickly thought things through. Right now, he could only take his stand before her, so that he would be able to explain things to Lu Jingye shortly. He then said to Ian, “Go and get me a whip.”
Ansel’s body trembled at his words.
Ian glanced at him and immediately left the room in search of a whip.
“Father…”
“Shut up.”
Ian soon returned with a whip. The Count took the whip and said to Ian, “Bring Miss Zi outside and get her a pair of shoes to wear first.”
Ian quickly responded, then walked to Zi Yi and motioned for her to follow him. “Miss Zi, please follow me.”
Zi Yi nodded and followed him outside the room.
After they left, the Count’s voice sank and he ordered. “All of you, get out.”
As soon as everyone left the room, sounds of the whip whistling on a body along with Ansel’s pig-like screaming could be heard.
Ian walked down the corridor with Zi Yi. After they had walked for some distance, he asked, “Miss Zi doesn’t seem to be very worried about your cousin. Or perhaps you already knew that she has been rescued?”
Zi Yi tilted her head to glance at him and she narrowed her eyes. Instead of answering his question, she asked, “Mr. Ian’s arrival is very timely. Could it be that you had planned to make your Big Brother end up in such a state?”
She then added, “It also seems like the relationship between the siblings isn’t that great.”
Ian was stunned for a moment before he answered seriously, “Not all siblings can show love and respect, as good brothers should, and not fight with each other for everything.”
Zi Yi was silent for several seconds and she nodded.
Ian then said, “It’s no wonder Lu fancies Miss Zi. You’re very smart.”
“You’re acquainted with Jingye?”
“We’re not only acquainted. We are also friends.” Ian said, “Originally I wasn’t intending to come home today. It was Lu who called me over.”
Zi Yi responded with a nod and no longer found it surprising.
While they chatted for a while, they arrived outside one of the rooms.
Ian pushed the door open and motioned for Zi Yi to enter.
As soon as they made their way inside, they saw a pair of shoes placed there.
Ian then said with a smile, “It seems like there’s no need for me to find a pair of my sister’s shoes for Miss Zi. As expected of Lu, he had even managed to find your shoes.”
