Chapter 327: The Note in Her Hand!
s.h.i.+ Nuannuan was immediately alert as she looked right into her brother’s deep eyes. She suddenly calmed down a little as she held tightly onto the ‘unknown thing’ in her hand. She felt extremely tensed!
Immediately after that, s.h.i.+ Yuting turned around as he walked toward the gate. Tengtang Xi followed closely behind him but before she stepped out of the mansion, she gave a triumphant look at s.h.i.+ Nuannuan as though she was trying to show off her victory.
However, s.h.i.+ Nuannuan did not notice her at all. She was simply staring at her brother’s back as she clutched tightly onto the item in her hand as she was afraid that she would be discovered.
“Black Dragon.”
After stepping out of the mansion, s.h.i.+ Yuting and Tengtang Xi got into a Bentley together but at this time, s.h.i.+ Le stopped and called out to Black Dragon, who was about to get into the car.
Black Dragon turned around as soon as he heard s.h.i.+ Le calling out his name. After that, he nodded respectfully before he said, “Speaker.”
“If someone goes missing today, then the responsibility is all yours!”
As soon as he heard those words, Black Dragon seemed startled. He immediately understood the meaning behind s.h.i.+ Le’s words.
The young master had already been under house arrest for more than half a month, and he may have ulterior motives for agreeing to this trip today. Therefore, the Speaker was telling him that he should be extra careful during this trip today.
“I understand!”
“Go ahead then.”
After that, Black Dragon nodded slightly before he turned around and left.
***
After getting to her bedroom on the second floor, s.h.i.+ Nuannuan locked her bedroom door behind her before she walked toward the side of her bed. After that, she slowly checked out the ‘unknown object’ in her palm and she realized that it was a note!
She frowned before she carefully opened the note and saw a line of words clearly written on it. s.h.i.+ Nuannuan could immediately tell that the beautiful scrawl was her brother’s handwriting!
When s.h.i.+ Nuannuan saw the words on the note, her sadness was finally a little relieved.
She knew that her brother would never betray Zuo Weiyi!
Right now, she had to find a way to contact Xiangyi and tell him about her brother’s current situation and whereabouts.
But, all of her electronic products had already been confiscated by her grandfather. How was she supposed to contact Xiangyi?
s.h.i.+ Nuannuan felt as though her head was about to break as she thought hard about this matter in her bedroom.
Suddenly, someone knocked on her bedroom door.
s.h.i.+ Nuannuan raised her head as she glanced in the direction of the door.
Shen Lanzhi’s voice suddenly sounded over the other side of the door.
“Nuannuan.”
Shen Lanzhi tried to turn the doork.n.o.b only to realize that the door was locked.
She knew that her daughter had been mad at her ever since they came back from Country Z but this was the first time that she had ever locked herself in her room. Shen Lanzhi was very surprised.
s.h.i.+ Nuannuan was shocked when she heard her mother’s voice and hurriedly hid the note away as she said nervously, “Mommy! Mommy!”
“What are you doing? Why did you lock your bedroom door?”
As soon as she heard her mother’s words, s.h.i.+ Nuannuan hurriedly unlocked her bedroom door.
“Mommy,” s.h.i.+ Nuannuan greeted her mother calmly when she saw her standing in front of her bedroom.
Shen Lanzhi glanced at her daughter as she was still feeling guilty about everything that happened.
“Are you still mad at Mommy?”
s.h.i.+ Nuannuan raised her eyes and glanced at her mother before she walked back into her bedroom.
Regarding what happened the last time, even though s.h.i.+ Nuannuan knew that her mother only did what she did because she was forced by her grandfather to do so, she could not help but blame her mother for leaving Zuo Weiyi behind, all alone in Country Z. However, she was still her most beloved mother, and she did not really blame her for it even though she was really upset.
She had not forgotten that her mother could only secretly go to her brother’s school to peep at him when he was younger because her grandfather had refused to accept her into the s.h.i.+ family. After so many years, s.h.i.+ Le finally agreed to take her in as part of the s.h.i.+ family. s.h.i.+ Nuannuan knew that she and her brother would never be able to see her mother again if her mother was to disobey her grandfather’s words.
“I am not mad at you, Mommy,” s.h.i.+ Nuannuan said as she sat down on her bed.
