In the next few days, Lily stayed in the old house to heal the wounds on her face. Eric came here every
day and spent most of the night here.
Fortunately, the medicine prescribed by Harry was magical. In just four or five days, the scab on the
wound began to fall off. After the scab fell off, the original scar turned red. Now Lily didn't need to be so
careful when she spoke, and the expression on her face returned to normal.
Claire had been taking good care of Lily these days. As soon as she came back from school, she took
the initiative to ask if she wanted to do this or not. The bad temper of her almost disappeared.
Sometimes, she even talked with her about interesting things in the school.
Seeing that Lily couldn't talk much, she didn't ask her about her homework. Instead, she went to ask
Eden.
As her brother, Eden would explain everything to her one by one, and sometimes he even helped her
to prepare for the courses to be taken on the second day.
Claire's behavior made Lily feel uncomfortable, but she didn't show it clearly. After all, she almost
strangled her last time.
Joe was glad to see the change in their relationship.
What's more, during this period of time, the result of Lucia's case came out. Since there was no appeal
and Joe found a secret relationship, so she was sentenced to ten years' imprisonment.
This was a light punishment for Lucia. When the result came out, Eden and Claire went to see Lucia
together, together with Dillon.
Lily couldn't go to see her as if nothing had happened. Although Tina had put down her prejudices
against her, it didn't mean that she could go to see her as if nothing had happened. Joe had difficulty in
moving, so he didn't go either. But he asked Eden to take a message to her.
The Qiao family was kind enough to Lucia.
This morning, Joe was surprised to see a guest of the Qiao family, Andrew.
When he arrived, Tina and Kerr were chatting with Joe in the living room, and Eric was holding Lily's
hand and coming downstairs.
"Brother." Lily was the first one to see Andrew.
"Lily." Andrew replied with a smile, "How's the wound on your face?"
He had heard from Kerr that she was injured. He had been too busy these days to come and see her,
so he only called her to greet her.
"Much better." Letting go of his hand, Lily walked up to him and asked, "Why are you free today?"
Andrew didn't immediately answer Lily's question. Instead, he stretched out his hand to pull away the
hair on her face and carefully looked at the red scar which had turned into a red mark. "It seems that it
is almost healed, but the wound is too long."
As soon as he finished speaking, he withdrew his hand and answered her question, "I came here today
to show you the design drawing. The plane map and three-dimensional drawing of the hot spring
school have come out. Let me show you first. If you like it, we are going to start the construction. If you
don't like it, I will take it back and let them modify it."
"So soon." Lily was a little surprised.
"It's been more than 20 days. How time flies?" Andrew smiled, "If it is in normal times, it can be faster,
mainly because this matter is similar to the government's investment promotion and capital
introduction, which is a little slower."
"Well, brother, let's sit in the living room and have a talk." Lily naturally held his hand and walked
towards the living room.
It seemed that she had forgotten Eric. At this moment, Eric's face was very bad, because Andrew was
really too close to Lily.
He also knew that he was jealous of something unimportant, because Lily had told him more than once
that she only had brother and sister feelings for Andrew, without any other feelings.
But Andrew was different. He still had feelings for Lily. How could he not be jealous!
Seeing that the two walked to the living room hand in hand, Eric really wanted to hold Lily's hand. But
when he was about to stretch out his hand, his mobile phone rang, so he had to answer the phone first.
"Hello, brother. What's up?" It was a call from Noble.
Didn't know what Noble said on the phone, Eric say, "Grandpa will go there in person? Okay, I'll drive
here right away."
After a few simple words, he hung up the phone. Then he walked to Lily and said to her, "Brother has
something to deal with. I'll go first."
Hearing this, Lily turned to him and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Uncle is going to see his student. Ask brother to go with me." Eric replied briefly.
Hearing this, Lily understood. She had heard from Eric that his uncle's student seemed to be the new
leader of the province. Today he was going to see him, together with Eric and Noble, which must be
good for them. No matter how fair and upright the leader was, for the sake of his teacher, he would give
priority to some cooperation matters when he met Noble and Eric.
This was also a good way to pave the way for them.
Therefore, she nodded and said, "Okay, go back early."
"Okay." Eric nodded and said goodbye to Joe, Tina and Kerr. At the same time, before leaving, he
deliberately glanced at Andrew, his eyes full of vigilance.
Andrew, of course, noticed that and smiled back at him.
After Eric left, Andrew turned to look at Lily and smiled, "Eric is still so jealous."
"Well, don't care too much about him." Lily blushed. In fact, she had seen the eye contact between the
two of them just now.
"I know." Andrew replied, and then turned to greet the people on the sofa, "Grandpa, auntie, father."
"Okay." Joe nodded with a smile, "You seldom come here, and you have become a rare visitor to my
house."
"Grandpa is in poor health and I didn't come to see you. It's my fault." Andrew said politely.
"Young people are busy. Focus on your career." Joe replied politely.
In fact, the two of them had nothing to do with each other, and it was a little embarrassing for them to
talk like this. However, Kerr, who was beside them, chipped in, breaking the slightly embarrassing
atmosphere between the two.
"What are you doing here?" He asked.
"Okay." Andrew nodded, "For Lily..."
"Ah, brother, let's go upstairs and talk." Lily suddenly interrupted Andrew. It was at this moment that
she remembered that she had hidden the matter of the hot spring resort from her family. She had
forgotten this before.
Besides, even if there was no big trouble in the Qiao family, she still didn't want to expose it to the
public.
Hearing her words, Andrew subconsciously turned his head to look at her, and then nodded slightly
stiffly. "Okay."
Lily stood up awkwardly from the sofa and said to them, "Grandpa, I'll go to the study with Lionel. I
won't disturb you chatting with mom and uncle."
Joe was a smart man. How could he not see her difference before? But since she didn't want to tell
him, he didn't want to ask more. He just smiled and said, "Okay, go ahead. Young people have their
own ideas."
"Ha ha." With a smile, Lily held Andrew's wrist and went upstairs.
When they went upstairs, Andrew suddenly smiled and asked in a low voice, "Lily, are you going to
hide it from them?"
"I don't want to tell them yet." Lily replied and took him to the study.
"No wonder you leave all the affairs of the hot spring to Alice."
When they arrived at the study, the two sat down at the desk. Without hesitation, Andrew took out the
design drawing from his briefcase, unfolded it and put it on the desk.
"This is a two-dimensional map." He pointed at the unfolded drawing and said, "I don't know if you can
understand it or not. If you can't, I can explain it to you slowly."
To be honest, this drawing… Lily really couldn't understand. Of course, she could understand what was
written on it. Except for the lines, she could see all kinds of crisscross lines.
She felt a little dizzy. After all, it was a map of a large public place, which looked very difficult. It was not
as simple as the layout of an ordinary commercial house.
"Well, brother, let's watch the three-dimensional drawing." Lily stopped looking at the two-dimensional
picture. She was really dazzled.
"Okay." With a smile, Andrew took out another drawing from his briefcase and unfolded it on the
previous one.
The three-dimensional drawing looked much simpler than the two-dimensional drawing. At least, the
building was not as complicated as the previous ones. Lily looked at it carefully.
About more than 10 minutes later, seeing that she was still immersed in it, Andrew didn't make any
comments. He asked, "Are you satisfied with this design drawing?"
"Very good." Lily looked up at Andrew with a smile, "I find that you know me too well. Last time I just
told you a rough idea, but you can remember all of them, and your design is very good."
"Of course, you are my sister. I know you well." Andrew answered jokingly, but he felt relieved. For
some reason, he was really nervous and scared.
He don't know why, but he was afraid to hear not good from her.
"And, brother, according to your design concept, what do you think should be decorated?" Asked Lily.
Hearing this, Andrew frowned and thought for a while. Then he asked, "What kind of decoration do you
want?"
"Me?" Lily blinked her eyes, not knowing what to do.
