Chapter 129 - Red Notes Equals Doom (1/2)
Somewhere in China.
6 pm.
The Zhao Shuxin and Yu Jin Yan had just arrived at the grand Zhao family mansion.
The mansion was still as beautiful and sparkly as it was when they left for London. The majestic of it was still the same as was the nostalgic feeling of being home as they walked through the entrance.
However, sometimes there was bound to be a change. A different thing for one to experience and that difference was what shocked and send a shudder to their bones.
All over the entrance, red notes were stuck on everything. Not including the walls, the furniture that was worth thousands of dollars, and adorning the entrance hall now had those red notes stuck randomly on each of the items.
From the chaise, mirrors, pots of plants, and carpet, to the chandeliers, doors, and even the shoe that was left untidy after someone came in a hurry and forget to take his shoe with him like Cinderella. All of it now was marred with red notes.
”Nanny Jang?” Zhao Shuxin felt perplexed at the scene before her and called out the maid.
Nanny Jang was the maid who took care of her after her mother died and has been with her since and even until now.
Zhao Shuxin treated the nanny like a family and would always give her bonuses and shower her with expensive gifts. After all, who else would be as loyal as Nanny Jang?
The nanny always followed her requests and orders without a question. When Zhao Shuxin orders her to put a ċȯċkroach or insects on Yan Xiaoran's food in the past, the nanny would do so and even do more that she would give her rotten meat. The nanny was among the bullies that made Yan Xiaoran's life miserable and the Zhao family was proud of her.
However, a family and even a tired master wouldn't tolerate any negligence from their servants. With all the mess in the entrance hall and the glaring red notes, Zhao Shuxin was growing irritated at the nanny.
”Nanny Jang! Where are you?!” Zhao Shuxin stomped her foot and walked to the living room, only to see the same red notes stuck on every furniture they could lay their eyes upon.
”What's happening? Why is there a lot of red things like this? Are we celebrating some kind of occasion today?” Yu Jin Yan asked but it wasn't pointed to anyone. She merely asked as she knew that Zhao Shuxin would be as clueless as she was.
And there should be no special occasion that day. No occasion would require the whole mansion to have red notes stuck everywhere. And the Zhao family was stricken with problems that day that no one would dare to throw a party nor attempt to celebrate an occasion.
At first, the two of them didn't believe it and thought that there wouldn't be anything that could take down the Zhao family. They're wealthy Asians and owned several subsidiaries in the country so, what was the problem that made even her father call them back?
”Where's that old nanny?” Zhao Shuxin frowned, ”No, where's everyone?” She finally noticed that there was no one inside the mansion no matter how much they called out for their names.
