Chapter 23 Subtle Suspicion
Before long, Fang Yu arrived at the villa.
Aunt Bai was cleaning the yard, and upon seeing Fang Yu, opened the door to let him in.
"Where's Jiang Wei?"
"The young Miss and the second Miss went out, they will be back in a little while."
After waiting for less than ten minutes, Jiang Wei and her younger sister Jiang Xiaoxiao returned, carrying big and small bags.
Women, they really don't feel tired at all when shopping.
Jiang Xiaoxiao, upon seeing Fang Yu, glared with her big eyes and said, "Fang Yu, dressed so sleek and stylish, are you going to a matchmaking meeting?"
Fang Yu rolled his eyes, "Please, this is called mature and handsome. A little brat like you wouldn't understand adult aesthetics, so don't spout nonsense."
"Hmph—"
Jiang Xiaoxiao couldn't be bothered with Fang Yu and went upstairs.
Jiang Wei glanced at Fang Yu and then walked toward her boudoir.
Fang Yu was stunned for a moment. Sitting on the sofa, he was unsure whether to follow her inside...
"What are you standing around for!" Jiang Wei suddenly poked her head out.
Heh, not embarrassed at all.
Once inside Jiang Wei's room, the world of flowers he had imagined did not appear. Instead, Jiang Wei's room was tidy and clean, with a desk that had a computer and thick files on it.
Truly the life of a strong independent woman!
Yet, the faint fragrance lingering in the air was captivating.
"Let's start..." Fang Yu said indifferently.
Turning to look, Jiang Wei was staring at the desk with a frown, seemingly deep in thought as if she hadn't heard him.
"What's wrong?" asked Fang Yu.
"Someone has been in my room," Jiang Wei said seriously.
"That's not strange, maybe Aunt Bai came in to clean or Xiaoxiao came to play," Fang Yu said, thinking it was nothing significant.
"No."
Jiang Wei said gravely, "Aunt Bai would never enter my room, and neither would Xiaoxiao. No strangers have ever been in my room."
Hearing this, Fang Yu was taken aback, "It seems I am the first one? What an honor!"
Jiang Wei gave Fang Yu a peculiar look, as if to say, did you even grasp the main point?
She ignored Fang Yu's complacency and continued to scrutinize the desk.
Especially women with a touch of OCD are naturally better at details than men.
Since he was being ignored, Fang Yu asked, "What seems to be the problem?"
Jiang Wei pointed to one of the files and said, "Normally, I keep this file in the second slot, but now it's in the first one. It means someone has moved it."
"Could you have remembered it wrong?"
"Impossible!" Jiang Wei said with conviction.
She had strong confidence in the things she placed.
"What is this file?" Fang Yu asked.
Jiang Wei looked worried and said, "This file contains records of the company's core technology..."
Fang Yu chuckled, "Looks like your competitors will stop at nothing!"
Walking to the window, Fang Yu drew the curtains and said, "You better care for your health first... Don't delay my work..."
Jiang Wei turned around, giving Fang Yu a complex look.
"Does it have to be like this?"
"I can perform acupuncture even with a screen between us... after all, it's you I'm treating," Fang Yu said nonchalantly.
"You..."
Jiang Wei was helpless.
...
There was a terrifying scar on the lower right side of her abdomen.
Fang Yu shrugged his shoulders, took out the purple bag, and brought out the Golden Needle.
After checking, Jiang Wei's body was recovering well, and Fang Yu performed a stabilizing treatment.
"Your injury is no longer a serious concern... but—" Fang Yu said lightly.
"But what?" Jiang Wei tensed up a bit.
"But you often work overtime, which has caused some lumbar muscle strain," Fang Yu mentioned.
"That... can you... can you also treat that?" Jiang Wei asked.
"Of course, I can." Fang Yu stood up, hands behind his back, emanating the aura of a master, "I not only specialize in Taiyi Divine Needle but also in Five Elements Healing, a method perfect for treating lumbar muscle strain."
Jiang Wei sat up, indeed feeling the discomfort of a sore and weak waist.
"Then please treat it for me."
At first, she felt slightly embarrassed, but then she thought he was a doctor, surely, he has some medical ethics.
But at that moment—
Knock knock!
A knocking sound came from outside.
"Sister, what's the matter?"
It was Jiang Xiaoxiao.
The scene unfolding before her was difficult to explain. Jiang Wei didn't want her sister to know about her injury, but now, if she were caught, even jumping into the Yellow River wouldn't wash her clean.
"Still looking... Hide quickly!" Jiang Wei glared.
Fang Yu, in a panic, spotted a wardrobe, opened it, and hid inside.
...
"Sister, what are you yelling for?" Jiang Xiaoxiao asked as soon as she came in.
Her big eyes darting suspiciously from side to side.
"Nothing, I just found a cockroach," Jiang Wei said calmly.
"Oh."
Jiang Xiaoxiao scratched her little head, thinking something didn't add up. This was an advanced-level villa, cleaned daily by Aunt Bai, how could there be cockroaches?
"Sister, you're too messy..."
She finished with a look of disdain, pinching her nose and leaving the room.
...
Inside the wardrobe, Fang Yu didn't really feel anything.
Jiang Wei's complexion was less favorable... with situations like this, how could she get married in the future?
She opened the wardrobe, raised her finger pointing outside, and ground her teeth, "Get out of my room, now, immediately!"
