Chapter 70: Jiang Family’s Banquet
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Jiang Ye introduced, “This is Jiang Zhe. He is Mr. Jiang’s youngest son. It is said
that he is an illegitimate son. However, in recent years, he has been highly
regarded by his father.”
Song Jiaren nodded in understanding. Perhaps it was because her gaze was too
focused, but Jiang Zhe glanced over and the two of them looked at each other.
Song Jiaren did not panic at all. She even smiled and raised the wine glass in
her hand.
Jiang Zhe’s expression was indifferent. There were too many women who
wanted to seduce him, and he felt that it was a little boring. However, in the
next second, Song Jiaren retracted her gaze, as if the gaze just now was an
accident. This intrigued him.
Song Jiaren did it on purpose. The moment she turned her head, her expression
became complicated. If she couldn’t find Song Meiyu’s whereabouts, she could
only start with these people.
She had always been prepared for everything.
When she looked down, she happened to see a little boy. She raised her
eyebrows slightly and did not understand why this little boy kept staring at
her.
Jiang Ye, who was beside her, Suddenly disappeared somewhere. Song Jiaren
looked around but did not see him. She thought of this young master’s nature
and guessed that he had gone to talk to a beautiful woman.
Suddenly, her skirt was pulled. She looked down and saw the boy from just now
standing beside her. When he saw her looking over, he said, “What is your
purpose in coming to the Jiang family?”
Song Jiaren was shocked. This boy’s eyes were filled with seriousness, and his
young face had a maturity that didn’t match his age. This sentence attracted
the surrounding people, but Song Jiaren didn’t panic. She squatted down and
smiled. “I came to play with you!”
This sentence made the surrounding people laugh kindly. It was obvious that
they did not take the child’s words seriously.
The boy pursed his lips stubbornly and continued to glare at Song Jiaren. Only
when she said that she was here to play with him did a gleam flashed across
the boy’s eyes.
Song Jiaren couldn’t get rid of this boy. Afraid that he would say something,
she brought him to the outside of the banquet where only the two of them
were. Song Jiaren squatted down and looked him in the eye. “Don’t follow me
anymore. I have something going on. I’ll leave first.”
With that, she forcefully pulled the boy’s hand away from her skirt and turned
to walk towards the Jiang family’s backyard.
The boy was left alone, and the emotions in his eyes were unreadable. He
looked at his hand, which was still warm. “Liar,” he muttered softly. “And you
said you were here to play with me.”
Song Jiaren quickly went to the backyard. This was the part of the Jiang
family’s home that she could see from the hotel.
She stood in the backyard and looked up at the small building that she had
been observing for a long time. This small building looked very out of place in
the Jiang family, as if it was independent of the outside world. It was
incompatible with the other small buildings, be it in terms of appearance or
location.
She suspected that this was the Jiang family’s secret, so the first place she
searched was here.
She slowly approached the building. The servants in the backyard were
transferred to the banquet in front to help, so she managed to get in smoothly.
There was a seal on the outside of the building, which was even stranger.
Under what circumstances would there be a seal on one’s own house?
On the seal, there was a large cross drawn in red. The color was a little strange.
She leaned closer to smell it and her eyes widened in shock. It was blood!
When she tumed around to look at the small building, she suddenly felt a little
gloomy. She did not know if it was an illusion, but she even felt that someone
was watching her from behind. She suddenly looked around but did not see anyone. She took a deep breath and quickly walked in.
The entire building had three floors. There was nothing on the first and second
floors, not even any furniture. This was even stranger. This building seemed to
be a cage holding something. It was strange and creepy.
She went all the way to the third floor. Although it was smaller than the space
downstairs, it looked like someone was living in it. There were all sorts of daily
necessities. Song Jiaren looked at every room but there was no one. It seemed
like she had gone in the wrong direction.
She turned around and saw a small staircase in a corner on the third floor.
Looking up from the staircase, she could barely make out a small attic under
the dim lighting..
