Chapter 854: 627 Wherever in life we meet again (one more Chapter)

"An Le didn’t invite you today?"

Restaurant.

Fourth Aunt was having breakfast with her daughter.

Recently, her mood had been good. As her daughter grew closer to the Guo family’s son, her status within the family had risen as well.

Miss He’s attitude toward her had visibly warmed.

"Should I give him a call?"

Yi Hui asked in return.

Fourth Aunt felt a bit awkward, then pretended it was natural, "No need for that, a girl still needs to maintain some reserve."

From outside the villa came the sound of a car.

Very soon.

The housekeeper walked in and reported, "Ma’am, Miss Junru is here."

Fourth Aunt showed surprise.

She was an elder, no doubt, but He Junru was not an ordinary junior. She had not competed for internal benefits but had expanded the He Family’s territory abroad.

Even someone as formidable as Miss He held her in a different light.

Why had she come?

"Fourth Aunt."

Before Fourth Aunt had figured it out, He Junru had already walked in.

"Junru, it’s rare to see you. Why didn’t you tell Fourth Aunt in advance? Haven’t had breakfast yet, have you? Please sit; what would you like to eat? I’ll have the kitchen prepare it."

Fourth Aunt rose to greet her warmly with a smile.

"I haven’t actually."

He Junru glanced at the lavish breakfast table without showing restraint, and smiled, "I knew coming to Fourth Aunt’s would be a treat, with all these delicacies. Just adding a pair of chopsticks will do."

The housekeeper immediately set the tableware.

"Sister."

Yi Hui greeted.

He Junru smiled and nodded.

"Junru, please sit next to Yi Hui."

"Alright."

He Junru sat down next to Yi Hui.

"Fourth Aunt, how is this almond biscuit made? It tastes just like it did in my childhood, I haven’t found this taste in Haojiang for a long time."

Fourth Aunt’s smile was gentle, "If you like, you can come and eat anytime."

He Junru, holding an almond biscuit, "Can’t I just take the chef with me?"

Fourth Aunt was startled, then laughed and nodded, "Of course, I’ll have the chef go back with you after."

He Junru smiled brightly, "I’m just joking. If I want to eat, I’ll come here to Fourth Aunt’s."

Fourth Aunt’s face was all smiles, but inside she inevitably harbored suspicions.

No one visits the Treasure Hall when there’s nothing to gain.

He Junru rarely came to her, Fourth Aunt’s, place.

And the warmth shown by her was a bit too deliberate.

Of course, she couldn’t just ask about it; instead, she skillfully conversed about family matters.

"Yi Hui, do you have any plans today?"

He Junru turned to look at the somewhat reticent Yi Hui.

"No."

Yi Hui played with her hair, "Sister, did you need me for something?"

Fourth Aunt quieted down, watching He Junru, trying to see what she was really after.

"If you’re free today, how about going out with me for a bit?"

"Where to?"

"Mandarin Oriental."

"What are we going to do there?" Yi Hui looked puzzled.

"Don’t you know?"

He Junru seemed surprised.

"Know what?"

Yi Hui asked, confused.

He Junru glanced again at Fourth Aunt, "...Last night, there was a violent incident at the Mandarin Oriental, many people died."

Fourth Aunt frowned, not in a hurry to speak.

"The assassins came from Yanbian, their target was the rival bidding against us for the gambling license," He Junru continued, succinctly.

Yi Hui didn’t speak, but Fourth Aunt instantly grasped the implications and urgently asked, "What’s the exact situation?"

She genuinely didn’t know about it.

Their branch of the family indeed couldn’t compare with the others, and they would often be the last to know about many things.

"Not too bad, the assassins didn’t succeed, though a few bodyguards were sacrificed. Even though we have no connection to this incident, since the victim was a guest, I believe we should go and offer our condolences."

"Junru, you are right; indeed, we can’t allow people to gossip."

Fourth Aunt nodded.

He Junru looked again at Yi Hui, "Would you like to go?"

Before Yi Hui could decide, Fourth Aunt spoke for her, quickly adding after He Junru’s words, "Yi Hui, go with Junru."

He Junru fell silent.

"Can going there really quell the rumors? It might even backfire, making people think we’re just putting on a show," Yi Hui remarked while eating.

"It’s still better than letting rumors and slander fester!"

Fourth Aunt said resolutely, "Finish eating, and then head out with Junru."

Whether it backfires or not, she didn’t care.

What Fourth Aunt cared about was that this was an opportunity for their branch to demonstrate their ongoing presence to the outside world.

Her daughter and He Junru appearing together, representing the He Family, could significantly elevate the reputation of their branch.

She didn’t know why He Junru had done this, but this opportunity was not to be missed.

At her mother’s insistence, Yi Hui eventually left with He Junru.

"Fourth Aunt, we’ll be going first."

"Go ahead."

Fourth Aunt smiled and nodded, watching as the two women got in the car and departed, sighing in satisfaction.

Everything was progressing as she had hoped.

With her daughter growing closer to Guo Anle, their branch’s importance had indeed noticeably increased.

"It’s just making an appearance, don’t get any ideas."

In the car.

He Junru spoke.

"Miss He, why do you want me to go?"

"You, are just too clear-hearted and detached," He Junru said with a sigh, "Fourth Aunt must have worried a lot for you."

"Miss He, do you not want me to be with Guo Anle?"

He Yihui asked, her tone calm yet light, but it pierced through the veil like a sharp needle.

There are no unprovoked kindnesses in this world.

Her outstanding sister suddenly showing such closeness was definitely not because she just remembered her sibling.

He Junru’s expression remained unchanged, and she smiled lightly, "I’ve said that I have no objections towards Guo Anle, but I don’t want you to be used by others."

Used by others?

He Yihui looked towards her sister, whose intelligence had been evident since a young age, feeling that the so-called usage wasn’t likely from within the family.

Two cars arrived at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel.

Because an incident had just occurred, He Junru had symbolically enhanced security by bringing four bodyguards.

When the sisters entered the lobby, there was nothing unusual about the Mandarin Oriental, and the guests looked normal, showing no signs of fright.

Standing high allows one to see far.

But even if you live right downstairs, you might not know what had happened just one floor above.

"I am He Junru, please pass the message to Miss Vela."

They arrived at the seventeenth floor.

He Junru and her party were naturally stopped.

He Yihui stood to the side and said nothing.

A few minutes later.

"Please follow me."

The patient He Junru nodded and started to move, but everyone else, including He Yihui, was stopped.

Having just experienced an attack, it was understandable to enhance precautions.

"She is my sister," explained He Junru.

Two Western tough guys looked at each other and exchanged glances before reluctantly letting them pass.

But only He Yihui was allowed through.

"They can’t come in."

"You all wait here."

With no undue pressure, He Junru, followed by He Yihui, walked towards the deeper part of the corridor, silently observing their surroundings.

The floor was quite clean, showing no signs of any violent confrontation.

"Please come in."

They arrived at Vela’s room.

He Junru stepped through the door, and right behind her, He Yihui quickly saw Vela sitting on the sofa.

Such a beautiful girl.

Men sometimes can’t tell a woman’s age, but that doesn’t mean women can’t either.

She noticed immediately — this foreign girl, whom Junru had personally come to comfort, must be quite young, definitely younger than her.

"Miss Vela, I apologize for what happened last night."

He Junru began apologetically.

Vela stood up, "What does it have to do with Miss He? It was just a few rats from Yanbian."

Having had a night to adjust, she seemed to have recovered from last night’s assassination, or rather, she didn’t show her real emotions on her face and gracefully gestured, "Please sit."

The two sisters sat down.

"Who is this..." Re-seated, Vela’s gaze fell on He Yihui.

"This is my sister, He Yihui. This is Miss Vela."

"Miss Vela, it’s nice to meet you."

He Yihui flashed a polite smile befitting her family background,

"Nice to meet you."

After greeting He Yihui, Vela said to He Junru, "Miss He, your sister is really beautiful."

He Junru smiled, "Everyone says so, Yi Hui is indeed the most beautiful child in our family, inheriting the best genes."

He Yihui maintained her composure and grace, "Miss Vela is very beautiful too."

After the exchange of pleasantries, He Junru broached the main topic, "Who sent those assassins, Miss Vela? Do you have any leads?"

"We are in Haojiang, how could I possibly find out so quickly."

He Junru understood implicitly, "Don’t worry Miss Vela, we will definitely investigate this and find the mastermind as soon as possible."

Vela had not ruled out the He family; being the largest local force in Haojiang made them a prime suspect.

But precisely because of this, the He family should be the last to act so foolishly.

Of course.

It doesn’t exclude that the He family might act contrary to this.

Until the truth is revealed, everyone is a suspect.

"Thank you, Miss He."

"It’s necessary; we too are enraged by such incidents. Haojiang absolutely will not tolerate such criminals."

He Junru spoke decisively and dominantly, with a hint of the demeanor of the Uncrowned King.

Amber eyes watched He Junru for a moment, and Vela gradually let go of her suspicions.

The He family might have the motive, but there was more than one competitor for the gambling license; could they kill all rivals?

"The matter is past, let’s not talk about it. The truth will surface sooner or later."

He Junru nodded.

They switched the topic.

"Miss He, I’ll step out for a moment."

The typically silent He Yihui spoke softly, like a vase sitting there.

He Junru nodded silently.

Showing her face was enough; continuing to sit there was pointless.

He Yihui gave Vela a slight smile, then got up and left the room, standing in the corridor and gently exhaling before looking to the right.

She started wandering around the floor casually.

"Click."

Ahead.

A door suddenly opened.

Was there someone else staying on this floor?

He Yihui was quite surprised and instinctively looked towards the door, and the person who came out made her freeze on the spot.

As if sensing something, Jiang Chen, who was about to close the door, instinctively looked up and noticed a tall figure in the corridor, then saw her stunning, almost mixed-race beautiful face.

For a moment, his face also showed a stunned expression.

Where in life do we not meet?
