Not long after Xiao Nan left, the door of Ye Jiu’s room sounded again.
“Please come in.” Ye Jiu thought that Guan Yi had come, so she answered casually.
The door was gently pushed open. Ye Jiu looked out of the door with a smile, but she was surprised to find that it was Lin Ying who was standing at the door.
“Miss… Miss Lin?” Ye Jiu looked at her with some confusion.
“Miss Ye.” Lin Ying nodded at Ye Jiu as a form of greeting.
Although she did not like her, Ye Jiu still had basic courtesy.
She invited her into the room and then led her to the sofa. “Please sit.”
Lin Ying did not stand on ceremony and sat on the sofa, looking around Ye Jiu’s room and the decorations.
Her gaze swept over an antique wooden decoration placed on Ye Jiu’s bed.
The decoration was obviously incompatible with the soft decoration style of the room…
However, Lin Ying knew that Chu Mo’s room had the same antique wooden decoration.
“Why are you looking for me?” Ye Jiu asked Lin Ying. She did not feel comfortable with the way Lin Ying looked at her room.
Lin Ying had a faint smile on her face as usual. No one could tell what she was thinking.
“Chu Mo gave me a set of jewelry earlier. I think this style is not suitable for me,” said Lin Ying as she walked into the room and placed a jewelry box on the table in Ye Jiu’s room.
“I see that Miss Ye is usually dressed in plain clothes. I thought that this set of jewelry might be more suitable for you,” said Lin Ying as she pushed the jewelry box in Ye Jiu’s direction.
Ye Jiu’s gaze swept over the jewelry box.
The brownish red velvet jewelry box looked a little eye-catching.
Seeing that Ye Jiu did not move, Lin Ying still had a faint smile on her face. She reached out to open the jewelry box.
Ye Jiu reached out to cover Lin Ying’s hand. “There’s no need.”
Lin Ying seemed to have touched something dirty and hurriedly withdrew her hand.
Ye Jiu smiled and pushed the jewelry box back to Lin Ying.
“You haven’t seen it yet…” Lin Ying said anxiously.
“Chu Mo will prepare my jewelry for me!” Ye Jiu said with certainty, “Thank you for your kindness!”
Hearing Ye Jiu’s words, Lin Ying’s expression changed slightly.
She was obviously showing off in front of her!
This woman was even more detestable than the servants who coveted Chu Mo’s bed!
Ye Jiu naturally saw the change in Lin Ying’s expression.
She did not mind.
To her, this woman in front of her was not a competitor worth paying attention to.
What she cared about was the engagement between this woman and Chu Xi…
Ye Jiu’s had never seen Chu Xi before…
Even when everyone in the Chu family was killed by her…
Chu Xi had never appeared before…
Lin Ying was furious, and Ye Jiu was hesitating on how to drive her away. Thankfully, a light knock came from the door and saved Ye Jiu.
“Please come in!” Ye Jiu’s voice sounded expectant.
As expected, the person who came this time was Guan Yi.
Guan Yi pushed the door open, poked her head in, and searched the room.
Seeing Ye Jiu and Miss Lin sitting together, she hesitated whether she should leave or not.
“Come in!” Ye Jiu did not give Guan Yi a chance to retreat, and beckoned her to enter the room.
Guan Yi paused, pushed the door open, and entered the room.
“Miss Ye! Miss Lin!” Guan Yi greeted obediently.
Lin Ying glanced at Guan Yi, then stood up and said to Ye Jiu, “Since you still have things to do here, I’ll leave first.”
Lin Ying said and was about to leave.
Ye Jiu quickly stopped her, “Miss Lin, your jewelry!”
“Don’t forget!” Ye Jiu said, picked up the jewelry box on the table, grabbed Lin Ying’s hand, and stuffed it in.
Lin Ying slightly gritted her teeth, grabbed the jewelry box, and turned to leave.
Ye Jiu called Guan Yi to sit on the sofa.
Guan Yi sat on the sofa cautiously, staring at the table in front of her, not daring to look elsewhere.
Ye Jiu smiled and took a bank card from the bedside.
“Here! Take this money to pay your tuition fees!” Ye Jiu said as she handed the bank card to Guan Yi.
Guan Yi was stunned and looked at the bank card in her hand.
“This is the card that I specially went out to get yesterday! Don’t waste my efforts!” Ye Jiu said seriously and held Guan Yi’s hand to prevent her from having the chance to refuse.
Guan Yi looked at Ye Jiu awkwardly and said, “This… I…”
Ye Jiu patted Guan Yi’s hand and said, “Don’t worry, I am only lending this money to you. Remember to return it to me when you have money in the future!”
Guan Yi’s eyes instantly turned red when she heard Ye Jiu’s words.
“Thank you… Thank you, Miss Ye!” Guan Yi’s eyes turned red as she held Ye Jiu’s hand.
Ye Jiu knew that Guan Yi really needed the money.
She did not want to see a girl with a bright future lose out from a better life because of money…
