In the morning, in front of the dining table.
Shi Mei felt restless as she served the Young Master at breakfast.
The reason was Xia Weiai.
At that point in time, it had been close to one hour since she was kept in the basement and she was probably still being tortured.
“Young Master, Madam called just now to let you know that she has already picked a few ladies for you and you are free to look through their information any time.”
Shi Mei reported to him as she cleaned the table.
The man did not reply upon hearing this. There was an unknown expression in his deep eyes.
He just agreed the day before and there was already results today. It was obvious that his mother had already made arrangements before this. It seemed like his mother had plans to send him a fianceé despite his rejections!
He laughed in a mocking tone as he thought through it.
After finishing his food, he felt bored and was thinking about what to do. The first thought that came to mind was actually—Xia Weiai!
After his orders the day before, she was officially a maid on the island.
He could imagine that she must have had an unbelievable expression and was probably cursing him in her heart. Perhaps, he had been lonely for too long and had been living dark, muddy days.
Suddenly, he chanced upon a pet that he wanted to keep for fun.
Upon this thought, Shen Shaobai did not hesitate and said, “Little sister, go to where the maids live.”
“Young Master, you… are you planning to look for Xia Weiai?”
Suddenly, Shi Mei’s heart shuddered, feeling nervous as she heard the Young Master speak.
Shen Shaobai did not deny upon hearing this. However, he felt awkward being exposed and replied impatiently, “Just go when I ask you to, why do you have so many questions?!”
“Young Master…”
Shi Mei clenched her fists and hesitated to speak. She suddenly realized how big a mistake she had made.
However, it was obvious that nothing could be changed.
“What happened?”
Shen Shaobai was very sensitive. He sensed that something was wrong upon hearing the hesitation in Shi Mei’s voice.
Shi Mei realized that she could no longer hide the truth. “Xia Weiai, she… she was brought down to the basement by the Second Young Mistress!”
Shi Mei realized that she had no other choice but to reveal everything that had happened, causing the Young Master’s facial expression turned faint. Even though there was no significant change in his reaction, someone familiar with him could guess.
This is the Young Master’s expression before he flares up.
“Bring me there.”
Shen Shaobai made a decision very quickly.
He did not say anything other than that.
Shi Mei’s face turned pale and she felt extremely regretful.
She knew that the Young Master treated Xia Weiai differently from other women and how ruthless the Second Young Mistress could get. Xia Weiai would definitely suffer under her hands. But from the very beginning, she chose to turn a blind eye to it.
She even thought of ruining Xia Weiai. Shi Mei, Shi Mei, when did this happen? How did you turn so evil?

Outside the basement.
Su Meiya chose to rest somewhere nearby as she walked out of the basement. She sat on the sofa outside and ordered a maid to bring her some breakfast, her tone obnoxious as if she was the owner of the place.
At that moment, a white figure entered her eyes.
Ning Yuan?!
Su Meiya’s eyes lit up. She immediately got up, rearranged her hair and tidied herself up.
“Ah Yuan, I didn’t expect you to also be on the island…”
Su Meiya spoke in an elated tone as she saw the man of her dreams.
At that moment, not only did she wrap her arms around him, but she also puckered up her lips, almost kissing his cheek.
However, Su Meiya did not know that the heavy make-up on her face made it very overbearing and unsuitable for coquetry. It would only affect her beauty and disgust others.
Ning Yuan wriggled his arm free from her and kept his distance.
As Shen Shaobai lived on the island, a family doctor would always be present just in case of an emergency.
And this doctor had to be skillful.
Ning Yuan was educated in medical school. Due to his proximity to the island, he would conduct discussions with the doctor on the island whenever he had the time to do so.
He met the doctor previously and he mentioned about how the Second Young Mistress’ small finger was broken by a maid. The maids on the island were well trained and no one was daring enough to offend Su Meiya, the Second Young Mistress!
At that moment, Weiai came into his mind and he rushed to the basement immediately.
“Lady Su, who is in the basement?”
