Chapter 7: 7. Aloof and Arrogant Man 7_1
Seeing Yu Jingrong's expression suddenly turn solemn, Huo Shufen advised gently, "You just got back, you must be very tired, I'll go get your brother, you take a good rest at home."
Yu Jingrong looked at her mother and smiled faintly: "No, brother ran out because of me, so of course I should be the one to go get him!"
Since she had decided to return and never leave, intending to stay here to take care of her mother and brother, she couldn't run away.
There were some people she must confront, and some problems she must solve.
Huo Shufen understood her daughter, trusted her to handle this matter well. She didn't go as she hoped to use this opportunity for the siblings to reconcile, as they had been very close before.
With the quickest speed, Yu Jingrong arrived at the Yu Mansion. The one who opened the door was Aunt Zhou, an old servant from the Hu Family.
When she saw Yu Jingrong, her expression was obviously shocked for a moment, and then she opened the door with a rather gloomy expression.
As the formerly most cherished lady of the Yu Family, Yu Jingrong was practically the princess of the house!
Even though she was a bit pampered and headstrong before, her brilliance was unwavering. The head of the Yu Family, Elder Yu, cherished her greatly. He had told the world countless times that Yu Jingrong was the most precious member of their family!
However, the Yu Family went through a huge change, and Yu Jingrong went from a phoenix to a chicken drowned in soup. The respect people had for her before turned into contempt, indifference, and even scorn.
No matter how glorious she was before, she was now less than a servant in the Yu Family. The disdain and disrespect shown by Aunt Zhou's expression told it all.
Yu Jingrong furrowed her brows, but didn't take it to heart. She was a very well-bred girl, she wouldn't stoop so low as to quibble with a woman. Treating such insignificant people seriously was underestimating herself!
When she got to the drawing room of the Yu Mansion, she realized that there was a guest in the house today.
He was sitting on a black leather sofa, his features handsome and well-defined, his demeanor aloof and intelligent, his Italian Zegna handmade suit adorned with a sapphire brooch, showing off the man's elegance and unsurpassed nobility.
Yu Jingrong's eyes unconsciously widened: Li Chengyun, why was he here?
Sensing Yu Jingrong's gaze, Li Chengyun looked up, a glance at her as casual as clouds and light wind, deep and inscrutable.
Then, with a seeming smile, he tugged at the corner of his mouth.
This action... had a hint of mockery, as if to tease her for thinking he had visited the Yu Mansion for her, but he actually hadn't.
Yu Jingrong clenched her fists, feeling inexplicably uncomfortable.
She averted her eyes and turned to look at Yu Yi, and although reluctant, she respectfully greeted, "Grandfather..."
While Yu Jingrong was surprised that Li Chengyun would appear in the Yu Mansion, the old master of the Yu Family, Yu Yi, was also shocked by Yu Jingrong's appearance. His eyes were concealed and hard to read, making anyone confused. He just nodded slightly with a serious expression.
Then he waved at Yu Jingrong, seemingly acknowledging that her respectful attitude was not heartfelt and advising her to dispense with these formalities. He asked her to leave for the moment, as he had a guest. They could discuss anything else later.
