In the s.p.a.cious courtyard of the beautiful villa, the butler was watering the lawn and the flowers. When he saw that Zhao Yumo had brought her cla.s.smate home, he quickly put down the hose and walked over.

“The eldest lady is back. And you’ve brought a guest. Please come inside.”

“Uncle Lin, you don’t need to worry about us. I’ve asked my cla.s.smate to come home to do homework with me and stay for dinner as well. You just keep on doing your thing.”

Zhao Yumo took Yun Xi into the house. There was no one in the house except the housekeeper, who was preparing to cook dinner.

“Auntie, I’ve brought my cla.s.smate back to do homework with me today. I’ve invited her to dinner. Can you prepare a meal for one more person, please?”

“Of course.” The housekeeper had come out of the kitchen and glanced at Yun Xi. Seeing that she was dressed nicely, she asked tentatively, “Miss, which family is this child from?”

“Yun Xi is from one of the families in the villa complex. You wouldn’t know her, anyway. Please hurry and cook! We are hungry after an entire day of cla.s.s.”

“I’ll cut some fruit for you two to eat now, all right?”

Zhao Yumo glanced at Yun Xi and nodded. “Okay. I’ll wait for you.”

The housekeeper glanced at Yun Xi and then turned around and went into the kitchen.

Yun Xi whispered in Zhao Yumo’s ear, “Is she your second uncle’s private spy?”

Zhao Yumo nodded and gave her a thumbs-up gesture.

After a while, the housekeeper came out carrying a plate of fruit, and Zhao Yumo took the fruit plate. “Auntie, please prepare dinner quickly. I rarely have cla.s.smates come over, and I don’t want to neglect such a precious guest.”

“Okay, I understand…”

“We’ll go upstairs to do our homework, and you can call us when dinner is ready.”

“Okay.”

Once they’d gotten upstairs, Zhao Yumo took Yun Xi to her grandfather’s room right away.

Pus.h.i.+ng open the door, Yun Xi got a whiff of the unpleasant scent of medicine. With the curtains of the room drawn, the room was dark and stuffy with no fresh air at all.

Closing the door, Yun Xi stepped forward and looked at the sleeping old man. He had probably been lying sick in this bed for a long time. His entire body was emaciated.

After moving a chair and making eye gestures at Zhao Yumo, Yun Xi sat at his side as she pulled out the old man’s hand from under the quilt to quietly check his pulse.
