"Yudong, why haven't you gone down yet?" At some point, Yin Xuemo had come up.
Lu Yudong was in a heavy mood, even angrier, as he closed Shao Zheng's diary. "I'm coming."
Yin Xuemo had already approached.
"What's this?" Yin Xuemo picked up Shao Zheng's photo from Jiang Ci's suitcase.
Yin Xuemo knew this was Jiang Ci's suitcase; Yudong wouldn't use such a low-grade suitcase.
She also knew that the notebook in Lu Yudong's hand was related to Jiang Ci.
The reason Lu Yudong hadn't gone down for so long was probably because he had discovered something.
"Yudong, this man looks a lot like you." Yin Xuemo looked up, as if she had discovered a new continent.
In fact, Shao Zheng only bore a slight resemblance to Lu Yudong, but with Yin Xuemo's comment, it seemed like they were very similar.
"Really?" Lu Yudong's face was ashen as he forced a smile.
Seeing Lu Yudong's expression, Yin Xuemo continued, "Yes, especially when he smiles, he looks even more like you."
"Let's go downstairs." With that, Lu Yudong took the photo from Yin Xuemo's hand, placed it back in the diary, and put everything back as it was.
"Who is this person? Why does he look so much like you?" Yin Xuemo feigned ignorance, subtly sowing discord.
"No one." Lu Yudong's expression grew even more serious.
Stolen content alert: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences.
After Yin Xuemo left, at nine o'clock, Jiang Ci returned with Aunt Fang.
Aunt Fang had been waiting outside the exam hall for Jiang Ci to finish.
Grandpa asked Jiang Ci how she did on the exam.
"It went well, Grandpa. Thanks to you for helping me with so much international business law content, otherwise, I wouldn't have passed." Jiang Ci said as she ate, ravenously hungry.
Lu Yudong didn't speak, as he was always reserved, and Jiang Ci didn't mind.
"Don't flatter me." Grandpa beamed with joy.
"No, I'm serious. I hadn't studied international business law before; it's like a whole different world." Jiang Ci said earnestly.
Grandpa specialized in civil and commercial law, of which international business law is a part, as well as part of economic law.
"Pack your things; you're going on a business trip tomorrow," Lu Yudong said.
"Hmm, a business trip? Where to?" Jiang Ci was a bit puzzled.
"The finance department made a last-minute decision, and I agreed."
Jiang Ci was still a bit confused, thinking: A business trip is a business trip, though I'll miss Grandpa. But staying home all the time might lead to slip-ups.
"Is Little Ci going on a business trip?" Grandpa, though reluctant, was an intellectual and knew he couldn't hinder his granddaughter-in-law's career development.
"Yes."
"For how long?"
"Not sure. Depends on the situation."
After dinner, they went upstairs.
Lu Yudong said to Jiang Ci, "The business trip is just an excuse. You're moving out; your dorm room has been empty."
Jiang Ci nodded slowly, "Okay," not quite understanding why.
"I'm afraid..."
"Afraid you won't be able to sleep?" Lu Yudong's tone was slightly mocking.
Jiang Ci blushed, "No, I'm afraid it might affect Grandpa."
"It won't. Your task is already completed."
Lu Yudong was the client, and Jiang Ci didn't overthink his words. Although they had lived together for over twenty days, they were far from being able to talk about everything, and their communication was still as limited as before, except they were now very familiar with each other's bodies.
"Then..."
"I'll still pay you, making up the five million."
With Lu Yudong being so blunt about the money, Jiang Ci didn't argue. After all, she was in it for the money, and she didn't pretend to be noble. Since he put it that way, so be it.
"I'll go pack my things." With that, Jiang Ci went to the balcony, grabbed her suitcase, and quickly packed her clothes.
Throughout all this, Lu Yudong watched coldly.
The next day, after saying goodbye to Grandpa, Jiang Ci put her suitcase in Lu Yudong's car.
As Jiang Ci carried her luggage to the dorm, people started whispering again: "Broke up with Mr. Lu," "I guess Mr. Lu was just having fun, and when he got bored, he sent her back," "She came back in disgrace, how embarrassing."
Then came the low chuckles.
Jiang Ci returned to the dorm under everyone's gaze.
Han Lan knew Jiang Ci had moved back from Mr. Lu's house with her suitcase. To avoid embarrassing Jiang Ci, she didn't ask anything, only said, "Have you eaten? Let's go to work together; it's almost time."
Jiang Ci didn't pay attention to others' gossip and quickly started another busy week.
