On the second floor.
He knocked on the girl’s door while holding a glass of hot milk.
“The door is unlocked.”
A girl’s voice came from inside. Her voice was hoarse and carried a hint of indifference.
Ye Wangchuan’s brows relaxed when he heard her voice. He felt much better. He opened the door and walked in.
Qiao Nian’s room was on the second floor. It was the bedroom with the best lighting.
The houses in Rhine Apartments were expensive, so the layout was naturally worth the price.
The bedroom was basically a suite. Other than the main bedroom, there was also a cloakroom and a bathroom.
The black, white, and gray design was very stylish. However, because Qiao Nian lived here, Ye Wangchuan had changed the curtains of the full-length windows to white mesh curtains. He had placed a lot of plants in her bedroom and even designed a bookshelf beside her bedside table so it would be convenient for her to read.
He walked in and saw the girl with one leg crossed over the chair and the other leg draped under the desk. She had changed into her home clothes, and her two beautiful legs under the outfit were well-proportioned and straight. Her ankles were small and exquisite, and her skin was so fair that they were dazzling.
Qiao Nian restrained her aura and sat there with her laptop on. She was typing something on the keyboard with her uninjured left hand.
If not for the fact that her right hand was still wrapped in gauze, she wouldn’t look like someone who had just been in a car accident.
Ye Wangchuan walked over and placed the glass of milk where she could reach it with her left hand. He lowered his eyes and glanced at the data revealed on her laptop. “Are you checking on Madam Zhu?”
“Oh.” Qiao Nian had no intention of hiding anything from him. Otherwise, she could have closed the webpage before he came in. Instead, she leaned back and took her hand off the keyboard. She said lazily and coldly, “Do you believe that she did this alone?”
Ye Wangchuan chuckled, causing his sexy Adam’s apple to bob. His thin lips were cold. “I don’t believe it.”
Qiao Nian raised her eyes and glanced at him sideways. She knew that like her, he did not believe it.
When Ye Wangchuan saw her sideways glance, his heart felt as if it had been scratched by a cat. It was itchy. He reached out and tidied her hair that was hanging down and covering her eyebrows. Then, he grabbed the glass of milk and said, “Drink some milk.”
Even though the girl frowned, she still obediently took the glass of milk.
Only then did he move to the side and drag a chair over to sit.
“I’ve checked Madam Zhu’s background. She doesn’t know anyone. Her daily life is to go to the beauty salon with someone she knows. It’s impossible for her to know someone like the driver…”
Qiao Nian sat there lazily. Even though she had restrained her temper, she did not look like someone to be trifled with.
What Ye Wangchuan said was exactly what she thought.
She had felt that something was wrong when she found Madam Zhu’s transfer records.
Of course, it couldn’t be said to be particularly wrong, but this matter was deliberately revealed. It was as if there was a hand pushing things about in the dark.
And that hand made Madam Zhu the scapegoat if Qiao Nian escaped this tragedy and decided to investigate.
Ye Wangchuan saw that her eyes were half-closed and her black eyelashes were lowered. He couldn’t tell what she was thinking. He said softly, “But the Zhu family is as complicit as her in this matter. Since she dared to do it and was used as a tool, she should be prepared to bear the consequences. She chose to end up like her son. She can’t blame anyone.”
