In the afternoon, Hua Manyi went to the white apartment in a rickshaw, and the servant took her in, but after entering, she found that Lu Nian was not in the room.Hua Manyi sat where she had been studying before, and waited for about a few minutes. The apartment was very quiet, and the sound of footsteps could be heard faintly from upstairs. Hua Manyi was very sensitive to footsteps since she was a child. I can hear it.

But this footstep is neither the respectful footsteps of a servant, nor does it belong to Lu Nian, and the man's footsteps are heavier and rougher, so there is only one possibility - a woman's footsteps.

Hua Manyi immediately thought of what Gong Shulan had told her, and her thoughts flowed. After a while, she put down her bag and walked upstairs lightly. Gong Shulan once showed her a picture of Huo Suqiu, as long as she found Huo Suqiu at Lu Nian's house. If you pass Lu Nian, her investigation will be completed.

In front of the door of the study on the second floor, Hua Manyi looked back at the corridor outside the study, there was no one there.When she turned her head back, suddenly a black shadow quickly passed by the study door which was partially hidden in front of her eyes, Hua Manyi raised her heart, and her heart beat extremely fast.

She put her hand on the doorknob, carefully pushed it open, and just took a step, before she could look around, she suddenly felt a pain in the back of her neck, and with a bang, she fell to the ground.

A woman's figure stepped out of the darkness, black leather boots stepped on the floor, and a straight brown coat intertwined with light and dark.

"Who is this woman?" Huo Suqiu glanced at Hua Manyi who was on the ground, and looked at Lu Nian who was beside the desk.

Lu Nian hurried over and squatted down to check Hua Manyi's situation, "Why are you hitting so hard?"

Huo Suqiu frowned, "Do you love her? Who is she?"

"She...is my student." Seeing that Hua Manyi just fainted, Lu Nian breathed a sigh of relief, pushed the silver-rimmed glasses, and stood up, "Suqiu, what's the matter with you coming to see me this time?"

Huo Suqiu turned her attention back, "Lu Nian, Jiang Yin ran away, can you help me with this matter?"

"Jiang Yin? Isn't she dead?" Lu Nian was startled. She knew that Huo Suqiu survived the Huo family fire, but the other person, Jiang Yin, was burned to ashes. The two women thought so, and even went to pay their respects.

"Dead? How could he die?" Huo Suqiu sneered, passed by Hua Manyi, and came to the window.

Lu Nian thought for a while, and guessed that there might be something else behind the fire, "Who is that person who died?"

"It's just a beggar on the street." Huo Suqiu continued, "At that time, I saw her being bullied by another beggar and kindly rescued her. I happened to find that her figure and frame were very similar to Jiang Yin..."

Hua Manyi moved her fingers, and she froze when she heard the word "beggar". The beggar she had met before appeared in her mind. The figure seemed to be no different from that of Jiang Yin.

And the time when the beggar disappeared happened to be the time when Jiang Yin was on fire, how could it be such a coincidence...

Here, Lu Nian agreed to Huo Suqiu's request to help her find Jiang Yin's whereabouts.

"Miss Lu, there is a girl outside who wants to see Miss Hua Manyi." The servant suddenly said outside the door.

Lu Nian gave Huo Suqiu a look, and opened the door, "Did you tell me what her name is?"

The servant recalled, "She said her name was Kou Qian'er."

Lu Nian had no choice but to go downstairs to meet him. Sure enough, he saw Kou Qianer, "Why did you come to see me?"

Kou Qian'er looked around, "I'm here to pick up Sister Manyi."

"Jiang Yin?!"

A woman suddenly walked out of the living room, grabbed Kou Qianer's hand, almost startled Kou Qianer, "Who are you?!"

Lu Nian saw Huo Suqiu annoyed and closed his eyes.

Huo Suqiu didn't care about this, and stared at Kou Qian'er, "Why did you run away? Did I treat you badly?!"

Kou Qian'er withdrew her hand vigorously, and looked at the woman as if she was mentally retarded, "Why am I running away? My name is Kou Qian'er, not Jiang Yin."

As soon as these words fell, Huo Suqiu woke up, held Kou Qianer's face carefully, and murmured, "You are not Jiang Yin."

"Of course I'm not Jiang Yin." Kou Qian'er pushed her hand away, a little disgusted, and turned to look at Lu Nian, "I'm here to find Sister Manyi—"

Before the words fell, Lu Nian saw Kou Qian'er who was alive in front of him being knocked unconscious on the ground, "Suqiu, what are you doing?"

Huo Suqiu regained his indifferent look, "She found my trail."

"You want to kill someone?" Lu Nian couldn't believe it.

Huo Suqiu: "That's not true. I just want to lock her up for a few days. I can't let the two of them ruin my plan."

The servant hurriedly came in from the outside, "Miss Lu, Mrs. Gong is here to visit."

Lu Nian had a headache, "What is she doing here again? Suqiu, hurry up and take Kou Qian'er back to the study, and Manyi, you need to make arrangements for them first."

Gong Yan stood outside the door, looking at the white apartment. After much deliberation, he still felt that he had to come and talk to Lu Nian about Hua Manyi's English learning. If the woman couldn't speak, she would speak for her.

Lu Nian welcomed him in, with a smile on his face, "Mrs. Gong, what brought you here today?"

"I'm not talking nonsense with you today, I'm here to talk about Manyi's learning English..." Gong Yan frowned and looked at Lu Nian's study room. There were two tea bowls on the desk. came.

Manyi often went to Lu Nian's place recently. Although she confirmed Hua Manyi's intentions a few days ago, she felt uncomfortable when she thought of the woman's hot and cold attitude and the intimacy she often talked about when talking about Lu Nian.

"What's wrong with Yiyi?" Seeing Gong Yan's cold expression, Lu Nian felt more and more guilty. Both Yiyi and Kou Qian'er were knocked unconscious by Huo Suqiu and put them behind the screen. She was afraid that Gong Yan's intentions were not good. The grievances are not over yet, what if Huo Suqiu and Gong Yan meet at her house and have a dispute and hurt Yiyi?

"She's fine, Lu Nian. I came to you today because I want you to end this teaching." Gong Yan let out a mouthful of white mist lazily, and took out the documents in the briefcase and handed them to Lu Nian.

Lu Nian opened it curiously, and was stunned when she saw the name on it. Isn't this her unworthy younger brother Lu Ziang?

In the early years, there were three brothers and sisters in the Lu family. The eldest son, Lu Yu, was good at doing business. The second daughter, Lu Nian, studied law outside the home. All of them had successful careers, which is enviable. Only the youngest son, Lu Ziang, was ignorant. The road relationship sent him to go abroad to avoid the limelight.

On the surface, the Lu family is very beautiful, but in fact the youngest son has always been a taint. If it is known to the world, then Master Lu and even the entire Lu family will fall into a situation where thousands of people reviled him.

"What do you mean?!" Lu Nian was shocked, how could Gong Yan know about Lu Ziang?

Lu Nian put down the document and calmed down, "You want me to leave Yiyi? Can't you teach her English again?"

Gong Yan's red lips curled up, "Yes."

"Why?" Lu Nian asked loudly, Gong Yan really had bad intentions, she even found out about Lu Ziang and threatened herself, considering that the private affairs of the Lu family could not be heard by Huo Suqiu who was hiding behind the screen, Lu Nian clenched his fists, Then he slowed down his voice, "Is this Yiyi's meaning?"

"What I mean is what she means." Gong Yan patted the sable fur shawl, and said lightly, "Hua Manyi is from Fenghai. She wants to learn English and I can arrange a professional teacher to teach her. Lawyer Lu is busy with work. , I can't keep bothering you like this."

"Besides, Lawyer Lu should also take care of his own affairs."

"What is your purpose for doing this? Gong Yan, in all fairness, I, Lu Nian, have never offended you, and our Lu family and your Gong family have never had any grievances in the past. Why do you keep targeting me?"

"Lawyer Lu, when will I target you?" Gong Yan wanted to make it clear and leave. She was going to find Hua Manyi. Today, the legal documents of Lu Ziang and his photos in France were taken to her along the way according to Gong Shulan's words. , and Hua Manyi is her woman, if she is allowed to study under a wolf, her heart will not be so big.

Lu Nian restrained her excitement, she looked at the woman with a lazy expression, and smiled softly, "Mrs. Gong, let's open the window to speak frankly today, you are targeting me like this because Hua Manyi is close to me, and you feel uncomfortable. "

She held onto the window eaves with both hands, sighed, turned and glanced at the screen in the right corner, and said with certainty, "You feel uncomfortable because you like her."

Gong Yan was stunned, and the air fell into silence. It was unexpected for Lu Nian to expose her thoughts so bluntly, but she regained her composure and thought about it, it would be best to take this opportunity to clarify with Lu Nian thoroughly, Hua Manyi is naive and ignorant , but Lu Nian is a smart person.

Thinking of this, she said indifferently, "I care about Hua Manyi because she belongs to Fenghai. Since she belongs to me, I have the absolute right to decide what she does and who she associates with. I, Gong Yan, let her Going east, she can't go west."

"As for you saying that I targeted you because I liked her, that's because Lawyer Lu is overthinking." Gong Yan approached Lu Nian, "What does it have to do with you if I like her? How about I like her? So what if I don't like her, anyway, she likes her It's not you."

In a corner behind the screen, Hua Manyi and Kou Qian'er were tied up with both hands and feet, and a cloth was stuffed around their mouths, while Huo Suqiu, who looked dignified, was squatting beside them to watch over them.

Kou Qian'er was still in a coma, and Hua Manyi had been pretending to be in a coma. At this moment, she heard a familiar voice from outside the screen, and her face turned pale.

It turned out that in her eyes, she was still that little dancing girl, and her mother said she couldn't go west if she went east...
