Mr. Lu's delicate bag

Chapter 26 Moving away?

Arriving at another pavilion, Aunt Xue prepared a cushion for Shen Jiaojiao to sit on. Aunt Xue then lit the stove again and carefully brewed tea. The lingering fragrance of tea slowly drifted in the air...

Shen Jiaojiao held her forehead slightly, supported her hands on the stone table, and closed her eyes. The green grass and the breeze, the fragrance of tea and the quietness... Only at this moment did her heart feel infinitely peaceful.

Aunt Xue was responsible for taking care of guest Lu Yanran, making tea for her and serving her snacks and fruits. After Lu Yanran politely took a sip, she saw that her good friend Shen Jiaojiao was already resting with her eyes closed.

Past her, he could see the pavilion from before. Gu Sheng didn't stay there for long, as the group of people had already gone back to riding their horses.

In other words...the group of people that Gu Sheng had just come to the pavilion were not there to rest, but were there for Shen Jiaojiao?

Even more so, if you think about it more deeply, Gu Sheng originally came for Shen Jiaojiao on this horseback riding trip this afternoon?

Lu Yanran looked back at the person who still had his eyes closed... So, classmates had joked before that if Shen Jiaojiao pursued Gu Sheng, she might be able to win him over in less than a week. Is this really possible?

Anything will become easy for Shen Jiaojiao?

Although Gu Sheng's appearance is inferior to Lu Shize in all aspects, considering his age, his achievements are already outstanding.

After a while, Aunt Xue thought the tea in front of the young lady had gotten a little cold, so she poured it into the tea tray and refilled it with half a cup of warm tea.

Shen Jiaojiao raised her head slightly, opened her eyes, said thank you to her aunt, then looked at Lu Yanran, "...Yanran, do you want to feed the horses?"

Since you have brought your good friends here to play, in addition to wanting to take a moment of leisure time yourself, you also have to consider your friends' possible needs.

Lu Yanran shook her head, "...No, maybe next time."

The racecourse was a bit noisy, but luckily they were sitting far away, so it wasn't too noisy... Shen Jiaojiao glanced at the time, "Did Gu Sheng and the others buy full tickets?"

One of the bodyguards immediately stepped forward and said, "Yes, it has been approved."

Since they had already paid, it would be inappropriate for him to offer a discount, so he said, "Send him some tea, fruit and snacks. If they also want to feed the horses and learn about horses, don't charge them extra, just say that it's your uncle who's treating them."

"Yes".

Gu Sheng's father had collaborated with his uncle several times. At least in Shen Jiaojiao's memory, Gu Sheng was present at every banquet in the past two or three years, so she had to take good care of this partner for her uncle.

Lu Yanran's driver called and said that he had arrived at the south gate of the racecourse.

"Drive to the north gate, my side is closer."

The car continued to drive as instructed. Shen Jiaojiao stood up and asked, "Is your driver here?"

Lu Yanran nodded, and the few of them got on the car and headed towards the north gate along the winding stone path.

After seeing off Lu Yanran, Shen Jiaojiao did not stay at the horse farm and went straight home.

The weather was hot, the days were long and the nights were short. It was already seven o'clock when she got home, but it was not yet dark. After a simple wash and change into home clothes, Shen Jiaojiao went downstairs and saw several aunts still busy on the third floor.

She simply walked over and Aunt Li greeted her quickly. She waved her hand, indicating that they didn't need to worry about her and should just go about their business.

After looking at it for a few seconds, he asked, "Aunt Li... Can you all help wash and hang my uncle's clothes?"

During these six or seven days, they would wash and dry some of their uncle's clothes every day. Usually, there were a lot of clothes, and for the purpose of storage, they would take them out from time to time to wash and dry them. So, Shen Jiaojiao didn't take it seriously... But when she thought about it carefully, wasn't the washing and drying in these six or seven days too much and too frequent?

Aunt Li squatted and closed the suitcase, "Well, just wash and dry it, and it will be fine."

Shen Jiaojiao felt a little strange. She walked inside and pushed open her uncle's cloakroom. Blinking, she asked in confusion, "Eh? Did I remember it wrong? Why are there some clothes missing?"

Aunt Li took a look and said, "Oh, Lao Chen and his friends happened to be going to the riverside this afternoon, so they took four boxes with them."

Shen Jiaojiao looked at the several suitcases on the floor again. So many suitcases all of a sudden?

"Uncle, are you staying by the river tonight?"

"No, the husband said today that we should come back here."

After saying that, Aunt Li finally realized something was wrong. She immediately stood up and walked over to Shen Jiaojiao, "Jiaojiao, didn't you know your husband was moving out?"

"Move away?!" Shen Jiaojiao looked at her in shock.

Aunt Li was also confused. Butler Zhao had clearly said that after the young lady came of age, only the eldest lady would live here and the master would not live here anymore. Moreover, after returning from the cruise ship, the driver would go to the riverside from time to time in the past few days and bring back some things.

Aunt Li quickly pointed to the bedroom inside and said, "Sir, there are several paintings there, and they have also been moved away."

Shen Jiaojiao's heart skipped a beat and she hurried inside. Sure enough, the two scroll paintings were gone. They were antiques, worth a fortune, and were the trophies of her uncle's first auction.

Moving away... not just staying in a riverside villa for a few nights, but... moving away completely?

The other aunts also stopped what they were doing and stood up... From the looks of it, it seems that the young lady doesn't know that the gentleman is moving?

Shen Jiaojiao turned around and said, "···you guys go about your business."

She left the house. In fact, apart from the two antique scrolls, there was also a graffiti scroll she had made as a child in her bedroom, but it was gone too.

So, my uncle really moved out!!!

Shen Jiaojiao panicked and ran downstairs. She dragged Aunt Xue to the tea room, closed the door, and asked directly, "Aunt Xue, is my uncle moving out?"

Aunt Xue had taken care of her since she was a child, so she would naturally not lie to her, "Yes, that's it... Didn't the husband say that you should move out now that you are an adult and want to be independent... We packed some things and even called a moving company. They came four days after we came back from the cruise... Oh, you were studying English upstairs at the time, so you might not have seen it.

My husband was away on business for several days, so we didn't rush to move everything out immediately. We have a lot of manpower here, so we thought we'd wash and dry all the clothes before moving them over, so they would have less work to do over there."

In the past six or seven days, Shen Jiaojiao hadn't seen her uncle's clothes on the balcony for a single day. She just thought they were washed and hung out to dry for storage.

She has become an adult... She remembered the man's solemn look on the night of his coming-of-age ceremony.

So, when I became an adult, he moved away?

By the way, he has already transferred the ownership of this villa to himself, so... he has to move out!!!

"Miss...Miss?"

Shen Jiaojiao was brought back to her senses by Aunt Xue's voice. She quickly opened the door and motioned for Aunt Xue to go out. Aunt Xue was a little confused, but still went out as she was told.

Shen Jiaojiao closed the door, feeling bitter in her heart...

The word "move away" is substantial.

The workers all knew it, except me.
