Chapter 929: Advice for You
Chu Sheng’s words had stunned Jiang Yao over and over again. She stared at the painting, and finally, she could see the countless tentacles in the black mass, which made her feel terrified.
“I got it. I’ll get someone to investigate this girl.” Jiang Yao rubbed the space between her eyebrows. “I’ll have to trouble you to help Xiaocheng since she is willing to interact with you. Perhaps you have a way to make her feel better.”
After Jiang Yao said that, Chu Sheng smiled and shook her head.
Jiang Yao understood Chu Sheng’s intention after a few seconds.
Zhou Xiaocheng seemed to have returned to her carefree childhood. She had no memory of the hurt that she had suffered. Perhaps it was not a good idea for her to get better, after all.
If she got better, it meant that she had to face the cruel situation left by that harsh reality.
Therefore, Chu Sheng was conflicted about whether she should continue to treat Zhou Xiaocheng from her coping mechanism. Was it a good choice for Zhou Xiaocheng, or was it a torturous one?
If Zhou Xiaocheng managed to get better, she would probably not smile again, right?
“It’s very late. You should rest in the next room.” Jiang Yao sighed as she opened the door to show Chu Sheng to her room.
Ah Lu and Big Ke would take turns to guard Jiang Yao’s door to ensure her safety.
After she saw Chu Sheng off, Jiang Yao and Ah Lu, who stood at the door, thought about the tough situation. Then, they ordered some supper from room service and invited Big Ke over to enjoy the hot meal. After that, Jiang Yao washed up and went to bed.
She knew that Ah Lu was outside her door, so she was not afraid.
It was already past ten o’clock, but she still gave Lu Xingzhi a call. She had not had the chance to chat with him properly during their last conversation.
“Is everything done?” Lu Xingzhi was already on the bed when Jiang Yao called him. His hand was playing with the plastic stars that he had stolen from Jiang Yao’s room.
When he heard his wife’s obedient and soft reply on the phone, Lu Xingzhi spoke again, “Yaoyao, it’s almost the New Year. The Zhou family’s matter may not be resolved so quickly, but you must come here to spend the New Year with me.”
Lu Xingzhi was worried that Jiang Yao would stay in Yuan City until the Zhou family’s matter was resolved. Then, he would be alone in the army again for the New Year. He had looked forward to his winter vacation for so long, so he did not want it to go to waste.
“I did not expect to be in Yuan City while you are in the army for the New Year.” Jiang Yao reassured Lu Xingzhi.
Lu Xingzhi smiled gently when he heard her promise; it meant that they were still on the right track.
“Have you prepared my birthday present yet? Yaoyao, I’m really looking forward to it.” That would be the first birthday that Jiang Yao would spend with him, and that would mean her first birthday present for him.
Jiang Yao kept quiet when Lu Xingzhi mentioned his birthday present. She had not even thought about what she wanted to get him.
She thought that she would have a lot of time to prepare for it, but she could no longer lie to herself about that.
When Jiang Yao went silent, Lu Xingzhi knew that she had not thought about what to give him. “You can’t just brush me off. Just know that I don’t lack clothes, so buying me clothes won’t count. If you really can’t think of what to give me, then I can give you a hint.”
