Chapter 230

The security guard understood and after making an internal call, the person was waiting on the side of Orchid Garden.

Ye Ning still didn’t know about this and as she followed the path to the back of Orchid Garden, she naturally went to ring the doorbell upon seeing that familiar courtyard.

But just at that moment, a servant who was pruning a bonsai in the garden looked over at her, "Are you looking for the Third Young Master? He’s not here!"

Not here? noveldrama

Ye Ning turned around in surprise, "Then where is he?"

"In Bamboo Garden, having breakfast with the old master," the servant casually replied before bending down to her task again.

Ye Ning was stunned for a moment before she finally snapped back to reality...

Bamboo Garden?

He was actually having breakfast in Bamboo Garden? Wasn’t that where his parents lived? Why would he be there?

Instantly, her heart which had just calmed down surged like a tide, and her hands began to tremble slightly.

She didn’t understand what he meant, but one thing was clear to her: if she went over now and ran into his mother in Bamboo Garden, her identity would certainly be revealed, and then her fate was beyond words.

Why was he doing this?

Could it be that he truly wanted to push her to a dead end?

As the thought settled, her heart suddenly felt as if it was being pricked from the inside, experiencing a great discomfort.

"Why are you still not leaving? The Third Young Master isn’t here."

"..."

She looked up at the servant urging her on, and suddenly as if she’d lost all interest, turned around and walked back the way she had come.

The servant was taken aback, "Where are you going?"

There was a shortcut from here to Bamboo Garden. By not taking the shortcut and going back, what did she mean?

The servant who had been assigned to watch her saw her walk away without turning back and finally got anxious. She put down her shears and chased after her, "Where are you going? Aren’t you supposed to meet the Third Young Master?"

Ye Ning stopped, faced the servant blocking her path and was just about to tell her she wasn’t going to meet him, that he could do whatever he wanted when suddenly her phone rang.

A rich and willful heir?

As she saw the caller ID, she grew even angrier, and without thinking, she answered, "What exactly do you want?"

"What?"

"Isn’t that so? You knew your mother had already seen me, yet you told me to go to where your mother lives to find you. Do you really wish for your mother to see me? Or are you eager to tell her right away using this method? That I was the cleaner from that day, and also the mother of the child she’s looking for?"

Once she started, it was like lighting the fuse inside her, and she passionately accused him over the phone, carrying her complete anger as well as her grievance.

And at that moment, it seemed she’d forgotten that he was merely her boss, and she was just his newly hired assistant of less than a month!

There was no sound from the phone, apparently, the person on the other end had not expected things to turn out this way either.

Intentionally?

Indeed, he had asked her to come today on purpose, but not for the reason she was suggesting; rather, it was for something else.

The man who had hung up the phone looked a little grim as he saw his parents, who were sitting with him for breakfast, smiling. His gaze shifted emotionlessly to his mother sitting to his left.

"Mom, I heard you’ve been investigating that child?"
