Chapter 937: A Golden House, Or A Golden Prison?
Su Wan’s residence was actually a Shanshui villa owned by the Siswell family.
It was located in the outskirts of the Southern District. This area had long been the land of the Siswell family. There were no businesses or hawkers nearby.
Although the scenery here was quite beautiful, it was too remote. In addition, the climate was wet and cold, so very few people would come here on normal days.
Even Diya would only consider staying here for a short while in the summer. There was no other reason other than to avoid the heat.
She did not expect her brother to actually hide Su Wan in such a remote place!
Diya could not help but ridicule in her heart.
Since he dared to announce the marriage news to the public, why did he have to hide Su Wan like this? If he had the ability, he would send her to the headquarters of the Siswell family!
Was her brother really that protective of her?
At this moment, Su Wan had not married into the Siswell family, but Diya could not help but feel a little jealous.
…
Her brother would not really become a husband in the future and just like those novels, once he had a wife, he would forget his sister and would not spoil her anymore, would he?
She was clearly still in the car and had not even seen Su Wan’s face, but Diya had already sunk into a deep anxiety.
Diya’s heart tightened. She did not have any prejudice against Su Wan now, but when she thought about the possibility that Su Wan would become her future sister-in-law, she still felt an indescribable strangeness in her heart.
If Su Wan really had deep feelings for her highness, how could she have hooked up with her brother so quickly?!
Was such a woman really worthy of her brother’s love?
Diya had already fallen into a strange circle of thought. She was probably used to standing on her brother’s side. Diya did not even consider whether Su Wan wanted to get married or not!
…
After circling around for a while, Diya finally found the entrance to the villa amidst the layers of green mountains.
The mountain road here was rugged. Fortunately, the Siswell family had spent a lot of manpower and material resources to build a mountain road ring here.
However, about ten meters away from the villa, Diya was the first to jump out of the car.
It was not that Diya wanted to stop the car so early, but… the strict patrolling guards in front looked really scary!
A few meters away, a fence was already surrounded the villa. A few men in strict uniforms with Tibetan mastiffs were patrolling in front of the villa’s gate.
They were holding all kinds of guns in their hands. Under the sunlight, they gave off a metallic mechanical luster.
What on Earth was going on? Why such a big fuss?!
It was just a marriage. Why did he make it sound like the entire city was under martial law…
Diya was complaining even more in her heart. She had originally thought that her brother was just hiding a mistress in a golden house. Now, at first glance, those who did not know about it would think that some important person was locked up inside!
Seeing the eldest daughter of the Siswell family jumping out of the car, the few patrolling guards immediately nodded at Diya. However, there was no trace of respect in their expressions.
There was only a kind of etiquette that was close to ice-cold.
“Hello, Miss Diya.”
It was as if they did not have any human emotions. They were just human-shaped guns.
Seeing those uniformed guards nodding at her, Diya suddenly felt strange. She forced a smile and nodded at them.
Then, she strode toward the gate of the villa.
When she walked inside, Diya realized that not only was the formation outside the villa terrifying, but there were also a lot of patrols inside!
From time to time, Tibetan mastiffs that were taller than her would walk past her…
Although Diya liked puppies, she was still afraid of these fierce dogs. She subconsciously took a detour, not wanting to meet them head-on.
She glanced at the large dogs with some fear, and then her expression suddenly turned cold. She began to question the middle-aged man next to her.
“Say, could it be that my brother placed so many patrols in the villa to prevent me from doing something?”
The middle-aged man who was being questioned by Diya was Fiennes’ confidant, who was in charge of bringing Diya to the Shanshui villa.
When he saw Diya’s expression, he immediately smiled apologetically.
“Miss Diya must be joking. The Shanshui villa’s preparations are of course useful, but it can’t be to guard against you!”
“It better not be.”
Diya snorted coldly, her expression filled with arrogance.
Although Diya could not be considered to be too bright, she was definitely not a stupid person. It was fine if she did not come to the Shanshui villa today. However, she really felt that something was not right.
In a place like the Shanshui villa, the land nearby was the property of the Siswell family. There would be no one to disturb them.
Why did Fiennes still arrange so many guards?
What on Earth was her brother doing?!
Diya could not understand it in her heart, so she simply stopped thinking about it. Her beautiful amber-colored eyes flashed, and her gaze suddenly fell on the middle-aged man. Her tone was not very good.
“Where is Su Wan?!”
The middle-aged man was, after all, Fiennes’ right-hand man. He had always been sought after by others. Moreover, Fiennes treated his subordinates with special courtesy, so why would she throw a tantrum like this?
Therefore, he actually did not like Diya’s bossy attitude. However, he only dared to complain a little in his heart, and the smile on his face remained unchanged.
“Miss Diya, do you see the sixth floor of this villa? Miss Su is in the room on the far left.”
As the middle-aged man spoke, he pointed to the room where Su Wan was.
Diya followed his instructions and looked over. Suddenly, she saw a shadow reflected behind the thin silk curtain.
Although her face could not be seen clearly, it must be Su Wan herself.
Diya was thinking about Su Wan’s name in her heart. Her heart felt like it had been knocked over by a bottle of mixed emotions. It was extremely complicated and difficult to describe.
She had only known Su Wan for a short period of time, but this woman had first snatched away her first love, and then she was going to become her brother’s wife!
What kind of ill-fated relationship was this?!
Diya let out a long sigh in her heart. She almost suspected that she owed Su Wan some favor in her previous life, which led to this entanglement today!
Diya slightly clenched her hands, lifted up the airs of the eldest daughter of the Siswell family, and coldly glanced at the middle-aged man.
“I see it. I want to have a private chat with Miss Su. I’ll go up alone. Don’t come.”
“Ah? But Young Master Fiennes told me to keep an eye on you…”
Hearing that, Diya’s face was full of impatience.
“Don’t worry, I’ll definitely come down in half an hour. But if you come over, I can’t guarantee that I won’t be able to say bad things about you in front of my brother in the future.”
The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment. After he reacted, he immediately wanted to argue with Diya, but Diya had already run inside like a wisp of smoke!
This missy!
The middle-aged man felt helpless. On the other side, Diya had already walked quickly to the room where Su Wan was.
When Diya saw the gold-plated ebony door, she took a deep breath and knocked on the door three times politely.
However, what responded to her from behind the door was Su Wan’s somewhat irritated voice.
“Mother Wu, I already said that I will eat. Come back in half an hour to get the plates…”
