Chapter 931: Burning Resin

Editor: Atlas Studios

After the two of them returned to the villa, Ye Tang also returned.

Ye Tang asked excitedly, “Where did you guys go? Why didn’t you bring me along?”

The moment she returned, she realized that there was no one in the entire villa.

Lu Feng and Lu Mo went to the amusement park to play.

Yu Su and Wen Chuan also disappeared.

Yu Su smiled. “We had gone to investigate something, so it’s not convenient for us to bring you along.”

“Hmph!” Ye Tang stomped her foot. “I’m jealous. You’ve been with Master Wen for longer than you’ve been with me.”

Yu Su smiled and pulled her away.

Wen Chuan smiled and shook his head.

After Yu Su returned to her room, she took off the clothes she was wearing today.

She saw a layer of white dust around the hem of her pants.

Yu Su took a sniff and smelled a very strange smell, like some kind of burning resin.

‘What’s this? When did she get it on?’

Could it be that she accidentally got it on her in the Daoist temple?

She thought for a while but couldn’t think of anything, so she memorized this clue.

In the apartment.

Hu Ying sat on the sofa and watched the variety show in boredom.

Ever since she caused a ruckus at the Hu and Yang family’s wedding banquet, her relationship with the Hu family had become even more stiff.

Her four sons did not come to accompany her either.

Yu Hong came once and kept saying things that Hu Ying didn’t like to hear, so Hu Ying chased him away.

Hu Ying felt a little lonely.

Her daily life now was to get up to eat, watch television, sleep, get up to eat again, and watch television.

This cycle went on for a week.

She didn’t want to go out, and she couldn’t get along with the others in the circle of noblewomen. She didn’t want to hear the rumors outside.

The cook and the bodyguards were on standby 24 hours a day, listening to Hu Ying’s arrangements.

However, Hu Ying still found it very boring.

There seemed to be something missing in her life. She couldn’t find anyone to chat with.

Everyone in the Hu family had blacklisted her.

“Ah! What lousy television drama!”

Hu Ying was watching the television drama when she suddenly shouted. She threw the remote control on the ground.

There was a vicious stepmother in this television drama. Hu Ying saw someone mentioning her on the comments and the person said that she was even more vicious than the vicious stepmother in the drama.

Hu Ying was so angry that she panted heavily.

“I was just blind in the past and didn’t treat Yu Su that well. What right do you have to say that I’m vicious?”

“These people really have nothing better to do!”

“Am I that bad in the eyes of outsiders?”

“How am I supposed to go out in the future?”

No wonder the passersby looked at her strangely every time she went out.

It turned out that her image in others’ hearts was so bad.

Hu Ying was so angry that she slammed the table. She looked at Auntie Liu and asked, “Am I as bad as what the netizens say?”

She admitted that she had done many wrong things and almost made a huge mistake by placing the worm on Yu Su.

However, she did not take the initiative to do those things.

She had also been deceived!

Damn Zhao Lan and that damn Yu Miao.

Auntie Liu hesitated for a moment and avoided the topic. She did not answer directly. “Those netizens are the most fickle. Madam, don’t take it to heart.”

“How can I not care?” Hu Ying shouted angrily.

The thought of her being scolded by the netizens although she was staying at home obediently made her feel terrible.

Auntie Liu continued, “Madam, if you’re bored, why don’t you get your assistant to book a plane ticket to an island overseas for you to travel?”

“I’m not going!” Hu Ying snorted. “Get my assistant to find me a university student who needs financial support. I can be in charge of the university student’s monthly living expenses, but that university student must talk to me for two hours a day.”

She was almost bored to death.

Although she hated Yu Miao, she had to admit that after Yu Miao left, she still missed the feeling of being flattered.

Auntie Liu immediately said, “Okay! I’ll contact your assistant now.”

Three days later.

A row of female university students came to apply for the job. They were all carefully selected by their assistants.

When these people heard that they only needed to accompany Hu Ying to get so much money, they were very enthusiastic.

Hu Ying asked about their families one by one. In the end, she chose a cute girl.

The girl’s name was Jiang He.

Jiang He came over every afternoon to accompany Hu Ying.

In the beginning, Hu Ying was quite satisfied.

Jiang He was always concerned about what Hu Ying had done daily. She even reminded Hu Ying to take her blood pressure medicine on time. She was very concerned about Hu Ying and acted like a good daughter.

As time passed, Hu Ying found her too dull.

Sometimes, Hu Ying did not want to continue chatting about certain topics, Jiang He insisted on talking about it. She even asked Hu Ying about Yu Su.
