Chapter 2177

In a place like this, Ning Anran didn’t want to stay any longer.

She said a word to Zimo, then started walking towards the main house.

Watching Ning Anran leave, Wen Yu felt a sense of unease rising in her heart.

She was really a bit worried that Ning Anran had discovered something.

She nodded slightly to Zimo, and the two of them walked side by side behind Ning Anran, returning to the main house together.

As soon as she got back to the main house, Ning Anran immediately went to the study and knocked lightly.

Hearing Mu Xuri’s voice, she walked in.

Just entering the hall, Wen Yu saw Ning Anran immediately go to find Mu Xuri, and a chill quietly crept into her heart.

Her steps unconsciously slowed, and she stared blankly at the closed wooden door of the study.

“Mrs. Wen, what’s wrong?”

Zimo stopped and asked.

Wen Yu snapped back to reality, the panic in her eyes becoming more obvious.

“Nothing, maybe I’m just a bit tired. I think I’ll go up and rest now.”

After speaking, she no longer waited for Zimo and quickly went upstairs.

As soon as she got to her room, she immediately took out her phone and dialed Mu Xiaojiu’s number.

The ringing on the other end of the line continued, but no one answered.

“Jiu, answer the phone, hurry up…”

Now, every move by Mu Xuri and Ning Anran was making her tread carefully.

Afraid that at any moment, they might make a move against her.

That’s how people are; under the threat of death, it seems danger lurks everywhere.

The call was automatically disconnected on the other end, and Wen Yu disappointedly tossed the phone onto the table.

She crawled onto the bed, pulling the blanket over herself, as if doing so could shield her from the threats.

Jiu told her not to act rashly; should she really just wait like this?

Why does it always feel like waiting for death?

Really, can’t she do anything on her own?

…

After sleeping in the room for over an hour, there was a knock on the door.

Wen Yu was startled awake, climbed out of bed, and hurriedly grabbed her phone for a glance.

It was almost twelve, and Jiu still hadn’t called her back.

There was a loss in her heart as she looked at the despondent woman in the mirror; she suddenly felt so pitiful.

A thirty-year-old woman, why did she choose such a path?

This path might soon reach its end for her.

The person outside knocked on the door again, pulling her scattered thoughts back.

Wen Yu quickly tidied herself up, walked to the door, and opened it.

“Madam, it’s time for lunch.”

Outside the door, a tall and burly male servant stood, bowing slightly when he saw Wen Yu.

“Mm.” Wen Yu softly responded, went back to her room to tidy up a bit, then followed him downstairs.

The hall was empty, not a soul in sight.

The male servant found something to do in the hall and no longer followed her.

When she reached the side hall, she found only Zimo there.

“Where is everyone?”

“Lingchuan went to work, and the others, according to the servants, have gone out.”

Zimo nonchalantly replied, continuing to eat the meal in his bowl.

Wen Yu let out a sigh of relief; with Mu Xuri not at home, she inexplicably felt much more at ease.

Without him around, it’s much safer.

“Zimo, have you and Lingchuan finished setting up your new place?”

“Yes, it’s all ready.”

“That’s great, soon you’ll have a place of your own.”

Wen Yu was filled with envy, though she didn’t know about Zimo’s apprehension towards the future.

Zimo forced a smile, and that was the end of it.

This kind of thing, she didn’t want to discuss with others.

Seeing Zimo didn’t want to talk about it, Wen Yu didn’t press further.

With Mu Xuri not around, is this the best time?
