After all, Diya was Fiennes’ biological sister. Fiennes had always been so accommodating to her. Su Wan felt that Diya should not be in any big trouble.
It was just that she had implicated Diya in the matter of her escape.
Su Wan was still afraid that she would create a barrier between the two siblings. After all, with Fiennes’ dark and fierce personality, Su Wan was afraid that something bad would happen to Diya.
That would be a huge sin for her.
Su Wan did not put down the chopsticks in her hand. Instead, she stared at Xiao Yuan nervously with her dark eyes, afraid that she would reveal something bad.
Xiao Yuan did not think too deeply when she saw how nervous Su Wan was.
After all, on the first day Su Wan came, she had already argued with Miss Diya and Madam Wang. Therefore, Xiao Yuan thought that Su Wan was just afraid of offending her future sister-in-law.
Xiao Yuan tilted her head. She thought for two seconds and shook her head at Su Wan.
“Miss Diya? I feel that she hasn’t been going out much recently. Why, Young Madam, do you have something to ask Miss Diya about?”
Xiao Yuan thought that Su Wan wanted to find an opportunity in the future to bury the hatchet with Diya and mend the hatchet from the previous fight as soon as possible.
After all, Su Wan was about to become Fiennes’ wife. If she continued to quarrel with Miss Diya, it would not sound good.
Diya had not been going out much recently?
Su Wan’s beautiful brows furrowed slightly. She glanced at the food in front of her and felt her appetite plummet.
“Why didn’t Diya go out? Is it because she was reprimanded by Fiennes or something?”
Su Wan was really worried that Diya would be grounded because of her.
In Su Wan’s opinion, not only did Fiennes lack a normal childhood, his entire personality had probably been raised askew. She did not know how much of his humanity remained.
Xiao Yuan looked at Su Wan strangely. She only felt that Su Wan was joking.
“Young madam, do you not understand the relationship between young master Fiennes and Miss Diya? Why would they quarrel?”
When Su Wan heard this, she heaved a sigh of relief.
“Then... Have you seen Diya recently? How’s she like?”
Xiao Yuan nodded.
“I just saw her two days ago, but she didn’t look well. It seems that young master Keller of the Devi family has been coming to see her these days. It seems that he wants to marry her or something. Miss Diya is very upset.”
So the reason why Diya often shut herself in was to avoid that scum of the Devi family?
Su Wan really was not fond of that peerless idiot Keller.
She didn’t think that Keller would actually dare to pester Diya. Su Wan’s heart instantly felt a chill.
However, Su Wan was completely relieved. Since Xiao Yuan said that she had seen Diya in the past two days, then Fiennes should have just quarreled with Diya and shouldn’t have really caused any trouble.
Fortunately, Diya wasn’t in trouble. Otherwise, Su Wan would also feel uneasy.
Su Wan lowered her head and ate a few mouthfuls of food. Suddenly, another person appeared in her mind.
“Xiao Yuan, do you know Aunt Shen? How is she recently?”
That day when she was caught by Fiennes on the spot, the middle-aged woman called Aunt Shen knelt down and cried for help. Su Wan still remembered it clearly.
At that time, Su Wan said that one should take responsibility for one’s actions. She hoped that Fiennes would spare Aunt Shen’s life. She did not know if Fiennes had done it.
Hearing Su Wan mention Aunt Shen’s name, Xiao Yuan was even more surprised.
“Young Madam, why do you even know Aunt Shen? I thought it was your first time coming to the Siswell family.”
Su Wan smiled absentmindedly, not daring to continue Xiao Yuan’s words.
How could she know Aunt Shen? She did not even know her full name. It just so happened that she was implicated. Su Wan was also worried about Aunt Shen’s whereabouts.
She hoped that nothing bad would happen to her.
Just as Su Wan was feeling anxious, Xiao Yuan answered her doubts.
“Aunt Shen resigned a few days ago. I heard that she went back to her hometown to help her son marry a wife. Young madam, if you want to see her now, it will probably be a little troublesome. After all, Aunt Shen’s hometown is far away from here.”
When Su Wan heard this, her furrowed brows finally relaxed.
She smiled and raised her head, shaking her head at the round-faced little maid in front of her.
“It’s nothing. I’m just asking. I have no intention of seeing Aunt Shen. Since she has gone back, there’s no need to see her.”
It seemed that Aunt Shen was fine. Su Wan looked at the dishes on the table and relaxed a little.
...
However, Su Wan still could not really relax after eating.
After all, Fiennes had told her that he was going to take her to some stupid banquet tonight.
She had just been released from the Quiet Room. Was there a need to make such a big fuss?
Su Wan could not understand why Fiennes would bring her there.
Was it just for the sake of attendance?
Or to make Jiang Xuecheng realize that she was still alive...
When she thought of that man, Su Wan could not help but clench her fingers.
How worried should Jiang Xuecheng be after not hearing from her for so many days?
...
When it was six o’clock in the afternoon, Su Wan was told that she had to get ready.
Su Wan sat in front of a gilded mirror and carefully applied makeup on her face.
Su Wan rarely attended banquets of the upper class in the past. Although she would not get stage fright at such occasions, she did not really like them.
In fact, how much sincerity could there be under the warm surface of such fancy aristocratic social occasions?
Su Wan caressed her hair casually and carefully traced her lips in front of the mirror. Then, she began to apply makeup on herself.
Su Wan could only say that Fiennes thought highly of her. She was actually not an expert in makeup, but Su Wan was still competent in light makeup.
Su Wan put on a simple, clean makeup. When she saw her pale cheeks, she deliberately applied some rouge to make her complexion look better.
...
After Su Wan changed her clothes, Fiennes pushed the door open and entered.
The smile on the young man’s lips remained the same. No one knew how much of the smile could reach the heart.
“You’re very beautiful.”
Su Wan nodded at Fiennes and conveniently put on a beige tasseled shawl.
“Thank you.”
He had asked her to be his female companion, but he did not tell her anything. Su Wan doubted her usefulness.
Now that she heard Fiennes praise her beauty, Su Wan understood her role tonight.
She figured that she just needed to be a good vase by Fiennes’ side.
It was better that way. At least it would be easy.
Hence, Su Wan went out with Fiennes.
On the way, Su Wan occasionally looked at the scenery outside the car window. Seeing that Fiennes was silent for a long time, Su Wan felt anxious and finally could not help but ask.
“Young master Fiennes, what exactly is the purpose of this banquet?”
Just as Su Wan could not figure it out, the car stopped.
Fiennes glanced at Su Wan indifferently, his voice languid.
“This is the destination, you’ll find out later.”
Su Wan was stunned. Through the glass window, she saw the incomparably gorgeous building outside. Her gaze was fixed on the eagle on the top floor of the building.
The symbol of the Devi family was engraved there!
Su Wan’s heart instantly sank to the bottom of the valley!
