BXBX NOVEL Chapter 176 Try Slapping Me Again
Hui Yin then searched information about Jiang Xu.
Jiang Xu had indeed gotten married, but it was a marriage that his parents had arranged for him. He didn\'t even know the girl prior to their engagement. After eight years, the two of them lived separately. Their only son stayed with Jiang Xu.
There were related news about Little Wuji and Baby Shang too, although Hui Yin couldn\'t call them by their nicknames anymore. Jiang Wuji and Jiang Shang were currently sixteen years old, studying at Beijing No. 4 High School, one of the most prestigious schools in China. Hui Yin felt proud when she thought of the two little buns that had finally grown up.
As for Lu Shen, after he broke his engagement with Nian Zhen, he didn\'t remarry. He devoted all of his time to the Lu Corporation and finding the driver of the car who committed a hit and run after killing Hui Yin. When the police traced the plate number that was caught by the hidden CCTV in the mansion, they found the car abandoned in Tianjin, about 114 kilometers away from Beijing.
Yue Lao had told her that Hui Jinhai had a hand in her death, but Hui Yin didn\'t think that the car had deliberately crashed into her. Wasn\'t it Nian Zhen who pushed her into the road?
Except there was one suspicious thing about this \'accident\'. If it were truly accidental, then why would the driver run? An interrogation from the police would have quickly settled the matter.
Unless the driver had a guilty conscience. Or if the driver was Hui Jinhai, a person who didn\'t want to confront Lu Shen.
Hui Yin rubbed her temples as she walked back and forth across the thick carpet with a vacuum. Old Meng Guang had given her the task to clean the spacious living room along with three other maids, and Hui Yin had been up on her feet since six in the morning, dusting and sweeping. It truly made Hui Yin realize how large this mansion was.
"Good morning, Miss Bao."
Hearing the greeting, Hui Yin looked up. Bao Bai had walked into the living room, carrying a thick folder held close by a rubber band with her. She didn\'t look like she slept well last night. Her eyes were rimmed with red, her face slightly haggard.
"Good morning, Miss Bao," said Hui Yin politely.
Towards Bao Bai, Hui Yin didn\'t know how to feel about her. They were once close friends, and yet the other girl had done plastic surgery to copy her features. No matter who the person was, they would also feel slightly uneasy.
Unlike Bao Bai\'s previous warm attitude towards Hui Yin when she fell into the pool yesterday, her response to Hui Yin\'s greeting this morning was slightly cold.
Bao Bai wordlessly sat on the couch and opened the folder she brought with her. Hui Yin was vacuuming the carpet that was directly under the table, so she was able to see what was inside it.
Six photographs of different middle-aged men were spread out on the table, and Bao Bai was carefully looking at each of their faces. All of them had receding black hair and a slightly prominent nose, which made Hui Yin suspect that this was a photo line-up. This was a method used by law enforcement to confirm the identity of a criminal, so why would Bao Bai be looking over these?
Could it be that she knew something and that\'s why Lu Shen had let her stay in the mansion?
"Are you done being nosy?"
The curt and hostile words made Hui Yin jump in surprise. She found Bao Bai glaring at her, apparently catching Hui Yin in the act of snooping.
"Uh...sorry, Miss Bao." Hui Yin smiled awkwardly and switched off the vacuum.
She was only a maid, it was indeed inappropriate for her to poke her nose in Bao Bai\'s business.
Bao Bai was already feeling angry about what happened with Lu Shen last night and didn\'t get a wink of sleep after she came back to her room. Now that there was a stupid maid offering herself so that she could vent out her anger, why wouldn\'t she accept?
Pah!
Hui Yin\'s head jerked to the side, the red imprint of a palm appearing on her cheek. She looked at Bao Bai, unable to believe that her old friend had slapped her.
"Just a maid, and you\'re causing trouble all over the mansion! You\'re lucky enough not to get fired for the stunt you did yesterday, and now you even dare to snoop in on my affairs?"
Even the other three maids had stood frozen in shock by the slap. Miss Bao was usually kind to them, so this rare display of her temper had really frightened them.
Hui Yin cupped her cheek. Even when she was the \'Mrs. Lu\' that everyone had made fun of, nobody had tried to slap her like this. Nian Zhen also hadn\'t dared, and although Hui Yin was only a maid right now, slapping another person was still not right.
Violence couldn\'t be excused, no matter what reason the other person has.
Slowly, Hui Yin smiled. Her eyes were bright, her smile deceptively warm.
"Miss Bao, try slapping me again."
