"By the way, where do you live? We'll drop you home." Kevin turned around to ask Nancy when it occurred to him that he hadn't asked her address.
"LJ New City,"
she blurted out. Originally, she wasn't sure about where to go, but now she had decided to go home to deal with her sister.
"What a coincidence! Ryan, she is your neighbor."
Kevin continued, "Which villa do you live in? How come I have never seen you before?"
LJ New City was a high-end residential area developed by the Jin Group. Most of the people living in it were rich and powerful. It wasn't overcrowded with too many villas to ensure privacy for its residents, who were the cream of the society. Being a small community, almost everyone had met each other at some point or another.
Nancy, who appeared haggard without makeup, wearing her old-fashioned, threadbare overcoat, certainly didn't look like she belonged in LJ New City.
So it was natural for Kevin to be surprised.
Just then, they arrived at their destination. Nancy clutched her bag and said to the driver, "My home is right here. Please stop the car in front."
She deftly avoided his question and simply pointed to her house.
"The Luo family..." Kevin turned pale when he realized that she belonged to the Luo family.
"Thank you very much," she said hastily and glanced at Ryan, who had been silent the whole time.
Even when he heard that she was from the Luo family, he remained calm. His indifferent attitude convinced her that he was the same Ryan.
She got out of the car and walked into the villa with her luggage.
Ryan looked out of the car window at the frail figure walking away. There was a storm brewing in his eyes. The change in his expression was barely discernible but he looked inscrutable now.
Kevin, who was also staring at her receding figure, said, "She is a member of the Luo family? I have never seen her before. Ryan, did you meet her when you got engaged to Miss Luo?"
Ryan watched the woman walk into the Luo family's villa. When the door closed, he looked at the driver and said flatly, "Drive."
Inside the Luo family's villa...
When Nancy entered the villa, the Luo family was having dinner. Three people were sitting at a long table, enjoying their meal in their luxurious living room.
Nancy had the key to the villa so she didn't need to ring the doorbell.
When she entered the room, Mandy Li, Jenny's mother, saw her, but there was no expression on her face. It looked like she had expected Nancy to return today.
"You're back?" Mandy Li touched her forehead and looked at Nancy with disgust and anxiety, but the anxiety soon dissipated.
Jenny's reaction was almost the same as her mother's.
"Oh? My sister is back," Jenny was stumped. She frowned and looked Nancy up and down. "So, you have been released? Three years have flown by so fast."
Jenny was really vicious. She was always cruel to Nancy and never left any opportunity to embarrass her.
