There was less than a week left before the Anniversary banquet.
The women of the Chu family had already started their shopping spree.
Not only did they have to hire a professional designer to come to their house to customise their dresses, but they also needed unique jewelry styles.
Ye Jiu sat in the room and sighed helplessly. “This last minute style really suits these rich women who always complain that their clothes are not good enough!”
Ye Jiu did not care too much about the cocktail party.
In her previous life, Chu Mo had prepared more than ten sets of gowns and jewelry for her to choose from.
However, she did not care about those things and only focused on planning the details of the cocktail party.
However, what Ye Jiu did not expect was that Lin Ying was among the women who were competing to get their gowns…
Xiao Nan, who was in charge of cleaning Ye Jiu’s room, knocked on the door and walked in after Ye Jiu answered.
She lowered her head and started to clean Ye Jiu’s room bit by bit with the cleaning tools in hand.
To Ye Jiu, Xiao Nan had always been quiet.
Ever since she woke up, Xiao Nan only came to clean her room on time every day and never said a word.
Occasionally, she wanted to chat with Xiao Nan a little more, but Xiao Nan would only answer briefly and leave immediately.
In her previous life, in order to avoid being found out about her contact with Chu Huai, she had deliberately avoided Xiao Nan.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Nan had also been avoiding her.
Ye Jiu watched Xiao Nan carefully clean her room and as she was about to pack her things and leave,
Ye Jiu suddenly wanted to try chatting with Xiao Nan more.
“Xiao Nan, wait a moment!” Ye Jiu called out to Xiao Nan who was about to leave.
“Yes.” Xiao Nan turned around and stood by the door respectfully.
“Come and sit here…” Ye Jiu said and pointed at the wooden chair by the window.
Xiao Nan did not move and stood still.
Ye Jiu was a little helpless and said, “I want to talk to you.”
Xiao Nan still did not move and stood there quietly.
Seeing that Xiao Nan did not speak, Ye Jiu was a little embarrassed.
She coughed lightly and said, “You don’t have to be so restrained. Sit down and we can talk, okay?”
Seeing that Ye Jiu insisted on talking, Xiao nan nodded and said, “Miss Ye, please speak.”
Ye Jiu was stunned for a moment. With Xiao Nan’s response, she did not know how to speak.
She thought about it and said, “How long have you been with the Chu Family?”
“Five years,” Xiao Nan answered honestly.
“Are you familiar with everyone in the house?” Ye Jiu asked.
“Yes,” Xiao Nan answered quietly.
Ye Jiu frowned slightly. She did not know if she should ask the next question.
“About that…” Ye Jiu hesitated for a moment and decided to ask, “Do you know Miss Lin?”
Xiao Nan paused for a moment and looked up at Ye Jiu. Then, she nodded.
Ye Jiu nodded and thought about how to ask the next question.
She asked around and found out that Lin Ying had lived in the Chu family for a year and went through six or seven servants.
The next year, Xiao Nan came and served Lin Ying until she left the Chu family.
“Miss Lin, she…” Ye Jiu thought for a moment and asked, “What is her relationship with the Young Master?”
Hearing Ye Jiu’s question, Xiao Nan looked up at Ye Jiu and said plainly, “Miss Lin is Young Master Chu Xi’s fiancée.”
Xiao Nan’s answer was cold, which made Ye Jiu feel like she was gossiping.
“Uh… I mean…” Ye Jiu scratched her head and thought for a moment before asking, “What does Miss Lin like to do?”
“…” Xiao Nan did not reply for a moment.
Ye Jiu did not know whether it was her question or something else, so she could only wait quietly for Xiao Nan’s answer.
After a while, Xiao Nan said leisurely, “Ask Young Master Chu Mo what he likes to do…”
Ye Jiu’s brows immediately furrowed.
She looked at Xiao Nan in surprise and then asked, “Often?”
“Yes…” Xiao Nan sounded emotional.
Ye Jiu could not figure it out and had to give up struggling.
“Xiao Nan…” Ye Jiu stood up and walked to Xiao Nan. “I hope that if Miss Lin disturbs the Young Master next time, you will inform me in time, okay?”
“Okay.” Xiao Nan agreed without hesitation.
Ye Jiu smiled and patted her shoulder. “Can you help me call Guan Yi over?”
“Guan Yi?” Hearing this name, Xiao Nan seemed to be a little surprised.
“Yes, Guan Nan’s sister. Don’t you know her?” Ye Jiu looked at the rare surprised expression on Xiao Nan’s face and felt a little happy.
“Okay…” Xiao Nan answered expressionlessly. She turned around and walked out of the room with her things.
