Chapter 3 (2/2)

In the middle of the night.

When everyone inside the mansion had all gone to bed, Liu Ping walked out to the balcony and made a phone call.

After the call connected, she respectfully addressed the other side as “young miss.”

Qiao Nian’s voice arrived from the other side of the line, “What is it?”

Liu Ping replied, “Elder miss brought home a wounded man today.”

Qiao Nian’s voice abruptly went up an octave and was now drowning in excitement, “What kind of man? Did he end up staying?”

Liu Ping answered, “This man doesn’t look familiar. It doesn’t look like he is a rich man’s son from the City of Brisk. He has a delicate looking face – almost like a demon’s. He did end up staying. Currently, he is passed out from his injuries.”

Qiao Nian giggled happily. “Alright, it looks like sis can no longer endure all the loneliness. Keep an eye on them. Even if that man wakes up, don’t let him leave. Got it?”

Liu Ping responded flatteringly, “There is no need to worry, young miss.”

After hanging up, Liu Ping turned around and screamed.

Her cell phone dropped onto the ground with a “bang”. However, she didn’t go pick it up right away. Instead, she stared at Qiao Qing soullessly.

“Elder miss, when did you get here? You didn’t make a single sound and scared me.”

“I just got here. What was Auntie Liu doing to be this scared?”

Qiao Qing bent down to pick up her cellphone as she spoke. After she blew on it to get rid of the dust, she handed it over to Liu Ping. Her eyes had a faint fake smile to them, “Am I that terrifying? Hmm?”

Liu Ping felt her hair stand up from Qiao Qing’ stare. Feeling guilty, she dodged her gaze.

“Elder miss, you are joking with me. I was just calling my kids at home and didn’t expect you to be standing behind me. Plus, haven’t you heard that if someone really wants to, they can scare someone to death?”

As she spoke, she went ahead to take back her phone.

However, as she tried to pull the phone towards her, she failed.
