Chapter 816 - Where’s Jing Lu?
Chapter 816 816: Where’s Jing Lu?
The Bai family may not be one of the richest families in the Imperial City but their mansion in this city, where each inch of land was considered gold, was still much bigger than theirs in H City.
Although the mansion was far from the city center, it was still a huge mansion. The exterior was built like a European palace, somewhere that she had always dreamt of staying Even after hearing what Di Anran told her and learning about the relationship between the Bai and Di families, Cheng Shuyu still had hope.
She was hoping that Xiao Lu would still be able to live a good life, quietly enjoying her life as the young mistress of a wealthy family in the Imperial City. If this was true, she would forgive Jinqian and stop looking for trouble.
She was the one who swapped the girls, something that happened 20 years ago. As long as she denied it, no one would be able to prove her guilt, since there were no cameras at the hospital.
Plus, it was a fact that she was the one who raised Jinqian for the past 20 years. Without her upbringing, how would Jindian still be alive today?
Therefore, as long as the Di family stopped going after her daughter, she would do the same for Jinqian as well.
If Xiao Lu was badly bullied…
Cheng Shuyu didn’t want to think of it, not daring to even imagine it.
Her daughter was perfect and she truly believed that Bai Tu was in love with Xiao Lu.
However, he was a young master of a rich family. Why would he marry Xiao Lu? Shouldn’t he drag her along and watch her suffer?
Cheng Shuyu quickly threw that thought out of her mind.
Wu Minjun elegantly invited Cheng Shuyu into the house and told the butler to prepare some tea.
However, the butler merely nodded, not moving from his original spot.
“Go. Tell the Young Master to get up here.”
“Yes.”
Get up here?
Cheng Shuyu could clearly hear what Wu Minjun said, but wasn’t too bothered by it, as it was normal for a mansion like this to have a basement and wineries.
Ma’am Bai elegantly drank her tea while waiting for her son to come. She was looking extremely calm.
Cheng Shuyu slowly calmed down as well.
Everything was fine as long as Xiao Lu was alright.
She would have to take Xiao Lu with her today. They would be reunited with her elder sister and the three of them would live a great life together.
She proceeded to wait in the same seat for half an hour.
“Ma’am Bai, why isn’t Xiao Lu here yet? What are they doing?”
Cheng Shuyu could no longer wait.
Ma’am Bai was still looking elegant as she slowly replied, “Are you in a hurry? Is there anything important?”
“That’s not it. I don’t feel good if I don’t see my daughter.”
Cheng Shuyu told the truth.
Ma’am Bai smiled and said, “They’re young. They aren’t able to wake up in the morning because they were up all night. Isn’t it normal for them to still be asleep now?”
“They’re still in bed? At this hour? Doesn’t the young master go to work?”
The smile on Ma’am Bai’s face slowly disappeared as she said in a cold tone, “My son… Even if he doesn’t work, the Bai family is still able to take care of him and allow him to live a luxurious life.”
Cheng Shuyu’s heart sank. She suddenly thought of what Di Anran said about Bai Tu being a useless prick, a perverted one at that. Everything in the Bai family belonged to Bai Zheng, who was Di Jingxuan’s assistant.
Although she knew that she should believe what her daughter said, she still refused to believe it.
“You mentioned Xiao Lu earlier… What happened to her? What did she do to Young Master Bai? Since she was the one who harmed your son, why are you allowing them to stay together? Until this hour?! Also… Why are they in the basement? Is Xiao Lu staying in the basement?!”
