Even if he felt something special for her, it wasn't enough to make him break his rules and forgive someone who had betrayed him.
Lin Xinlan, what kind of poison did you give me, that I can forgive you so easily even after your betrayal...
When Rong Shaoze returned to the villa, a car full of bodyguards followed him there.
Following his orders, they separated all the servants by gender and held them under watch, waiting for his interrogation.
In the large villa, only Lao Gu was not under surveillance.
She was trustworthy enough; if Rong Shaoze couldn't trust Lao Gu, he had very few people left to trust.
He strode upstairs and pushed open the door of the bedroom, only to see Lin Xinlan sitting on the wicker chair on the balcony, quietly flipping through a novel.
Her hair was draped over her shoulders, her soft locks framing her face, giving her a serene aura.
The sunlight spilled over her, making her skin look even more translucent and tender.
