"Just take it as a concern from an old friend. Is that okay?" Lucy asked.
"Thank you for your concern," Zhai Yunsheng replied politely.
Lucy smiled. Then, she turned her head to look at Jian Yiling who was standing next to Zhai Yunsheng.
Jian Yiling had been very quiet ever since she entered the door. She hadn't said a word. She had glanced at Lucy when she first entered the door. Then, she had lowered her head to play with her phone.
She didn't seem to be paying attention to what Zhai Yunsheng and Lucy were saying.
"You must be Master Sheng's fiancée, Miss Yiling?"
When she heard someone mention her, Jian Yiling raised her head. She looked at Lucy who was looking at her.
"Mhmm," Jian Yiling replied.
"Miss Yiling, you're so beautiful," Lucy praised.
"Thank you," Jian Yiling replied politely.
"I heard that Miss Yiling has been involved in a storm this time. If you don't mind, I can help you settle this matter so that you don't have to be treated as a suspect," Lucy said.
"No, thank you."
Jian Yiling's reaction was even more indifferent than Zhai Yunsheng's.
Her small face was calm and her eyes were clear. She didn't seem to be a suspect at all.
Lucy took out a business card and placed it in front of Jian Yiling: "If Miss Yiling thinks of anything that you need my help with, please contact me. I've known Master Sheng for many years. His matters are my matters."
Jian Yiling's eyes fell on Lucy's hand.
Lucy was wearing a ring on her hand. The ring was not a diamond ring nor was it a gemstone. The color of the ring was a blackish-yellow metal. There was a western pattern engraved on the surface of the ring.
Lucy noticed Jian Yiling's gaze and asked: "What are you looking at?"
"Nothing," Jian Yiling replied. She retracted her gaze.
Lucy glanced at the ring on her hand and explained: "Are you looking at this ring? This is our family's ring. Only official members of our family can wear it. "
Jian Yiling nodded her head slightly. Her reaction was still very indifferent.
Zhai Yunsheng didn't have much patience for Lucy anymore: "If Miss Goodman doesn't have anything else to say, then my fiancée and I will go back to work."
After saying that, Zhai Yunsheng got up and pulled Jian Yiling away. However, before they left, he asked his assistant to greet Lucy.
Lucy smiled as she watched the two of them leave.
After the two of them left, Lucy did not stay any longer. She left the Zhai family's building with her entourage.
On the way back, Lucy received a call from her father.
"Lucy, I heard that you went to look for Master Zhai?"
"Yes."
"Don't ruin this mission. This mission is very important to me. If something goes wrong, the elders of the family will no longer trust me, and I might lose the right to inherit the family."
"I won't ruin your plan, don't worry."
"It's best if they don't destroy anything, but you have to behave yourself. Whether or not our branch's position in the family can be improved depends on this operation. It's very important."
"I know."
The Goodman family was an ancient and large family.
Not every member of the family could enjoy the right of inheritance. Those who were judged by the elders to be incompetent would be slowly marginalized. Then, when the next head of the family was born, they would be driven out of the family.
