Chapter 365: Become Cold
Sheng Yang silently looked at the garden. The entire manor took up an acre…
At this moment, she gently caught Wu Jiaoyue’s hand that was about to cause trouble.
Wu Jiaoyue smiled guiltily.
Wu Jiaoyue had felt like pinching her face again.
However, once was enough, and that was only because Sheng Yang was thinking about something at the moment so she was completely caught off guard then. But now, it was different. She was prepared, and her reaction speed was not just a little faster than Wu Jiaoyue’s hand. In her eyes, Aunt Wu’s hand, which seemed comparable to a swift dragon, seemed to move in slow motion.
Wu Jiaoyue smiled awkwardly but kept staring at Sheng Yang’s face.
The more she was rejected, the more she wanted to pinch Sheng Yang’s face.
After settling Sheng Yang and Sheng Tingze down, Wu Jiaoyue returned home. Her house wasn’t far from the manor.
As soon as she entered, the butler rushed forward. “Madam, the woman surnamed Jiang is here again.”
Wu Jiaoyue’s eyes flickered as her expression turned cold. She looked totally different from when she was chatting with Kang Weizhen, Sheng Yang, and Sheng Tingze. She looked superior and unreasonable, but it did not make others feel annoyed.
It was because she looked like such a graceful and noble woman.
Wu Jiaoyue headed back to her bedroom but to get there, she could either choose to take the main corridor that needed to pass through the living room or take a smaller path. She didn’t avoid going to the living room.
The butler was a little anxious. “Madam, I thought you didn’t want to see her?”
“Even if I don’t want to see her, it doesn’t mean that I have to avoid her in my own home. This is my home. Why would I let her get in the way of my freedom?” Wu Jiaoyue took off her gloves and strode down the corridor.
At first, the butler wanted to stop her, but after hearing what she said, he felt that it made sense.
In the living room, Jiang Xinyi was looking around. Every painting and vase looked very simple. She did not know which era they were from. However, they were all certainly very valuable. Suddenly, she heard footsteps and immediately looked over. Her eyes met Wu Jiaoyue’s, and she hurriedly stood up.
In the past years, she would visit Wu Jiaoyue every time she brought Sheng Yue to the capital for the business war.
This year, Sheng Yue was a good-for-nothing and could not participate in the finals of the business war. However, she still found a random reason to come.
Back in university, Wu Jiaoyue and Kang Weizhen had a pretty good relationship. She heard that the two families had known each other since Kang Weizhen was young, so the two women could be considered as childhood connections. Apart from looking at the artworks just now, Jiang Xinyi was also looking for Sheng Yang.
Sheng Yang came to Imperial Capital for the business war. Logically speaking, with Wu Jiao Yue and Kang Wei Zhen’s good relationship, Sheng Yang should be staying in Wu Jiaoyue’s house, so why wasn’t she here?
Could it be that Wu Jiaoyue and Kang Weizhen were having a conflict? Was their friendship over?
Ultimately, nothing could resist the corrosion of time.
“Jiaoyue… long time no see.” Jiang Xinyi put on a smile. She treated Wu Jiaoyue the same way she treated the old madam of the Sheng family. She pointed at the gifts on the table and said, “I asked someone to bring them back from abroad. They’re all skincare products and are very good for women.”
Wu Jiaoyue didn’t look. “Oh?”
Then, she asked calmly, “Why did you come to the capital this time? Could it be that you came specially to see me?”
