Liang Mumu stepped out of the elevator and into the lobby, then headed over to the ATM in the hotel to withdraw some cash. After which, she walked over to the front desk to pass the hotel card to a female receptionist on duty that night, instructing her to pass the card over to a person named ‘Han Jing’. She then handed over some cash to the female receptionist and carefully issued her several instructions before leaving the hotel.
It was already extremely late, and the night breeze of an early Spring was often tinged with coldness. Tonight was no exception.
Liang Mumu stared at the ever busy streets in front of her for a long time before she slipped into her car.
She was in no hurry to leave the area. Instead, she turned on the car radio and lowered the volume, then settled down to wait patiently.
Roughly twenty minutes later, a taxi stopped at the entrance of the hotel.
A young man wearing an Ascot cap walked out from the taxi. He was dressed in an orange T-shirt, black pants, and white sneakers.
Even though Liang Mumu couldn’t see the young man’s face, she had some impression of that outfit—those were the clothes that Han Jing would sometimes wear during the very few times she had met him.
After paying the cab fare, the young man quickly made his way into the hotel.
Through the hotel’s glass windows, Liang Mumu saw the young man standing at the front desk receptionist for some time. He then grabbed a room card and headed over to the elevator.
Right after the young man’s silhouette disappeared behind the closing doors of the elevator, Liang Mumu’s phone started to ring.
She picked it up. It was from the female receptionist that she had tipped previously, “Miss Liang, Mister Han Jing has arrived and claimed the room card. He is on his way over to the hotel suite right now.”
After hanging up the call, Liang Mumu sat quietly in the car for a little while longer before she stepped on the accelerator and left.
After reaching her home, Liang Mumu parked her car in the garage, but she didn’t take the elevator up. Instead, she walked into the courtyard and took a look at the neighboring residence.
The lights of Lin Jiage’s bedroom weren’t on. Most likely, he hadn’t gone home for the weekend again.
The curtains of Lin Jiayi’s room were drawn, but through the slits in between the curtains, one could still tell that the lights inside were still on.
The lights of the master bedroom were lit, and the curtains were drawn too. The study room just beside it was lit as well. Liang Mumu figured that Lin Jiage’s mother, Madam Jiang Wangui, was still busy working in her study.
” Young Miss 1 , you’re back?” The sound of Liang Mumu’s car engine had woken up the butler of the Liang Family Residence.
Liang Mumu quickly retracted her gaze from the neighboring residence and replied to the butler with a nod. Then, she began making her way into the Liang Family Residence while asking, “Where’s my aunt and uncle?”
“Sir isn’t back yet, and Madam is currently asleep,” the butler replied.
“What about my cousin?” Liang Mumu’s parents were divorced, so she had been living in Liang Jiusi’s house from a very young age.
“Young Master isn’t back yet.”
“I see.” Liang Mumu didn’t respond anymore. She headed up the stairs, but after five steps or so, she suddenly stopped. “… Wake me up tomorrow morning at five.”
Even though the butler wondered why Liang Mumu, who usually slept until the afternoon, would suddenly want to wake up so early, he still assented to her instructions.
Returning to her bedroom, Liang Mumu took a quick bath before she headed off to sleep.
She had told the butler to wake her up at five, but the truth was that the various matters plaguing her heart had kept her up all night.
As soon as the alarm rang, she immediately got up to wash her face and put on makeup. Two hours later, wearing a stunning outfit and with a bag in hand, she pressed the doorbell to the Lin Family Residence.
The one who opened the door was a servant who had been in the Lin Family Residence for quite some time now. Recognizing Liang Mumu, he led her into the residence hospitably.
Prior to entering the residence, Liang Mumu had already known that Jiang Wangui and Lin Jiayi would be awake.
Jiang Wangui was a very disciplined and orderly person. She would wake up early every morning to go on a run, and if Lin Jiayi and Lin Jiage were at home, she would force them to tag along with her as well.
