Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1977: Chapter 1913: What Is the Purpose

Although Chiang Xiao felt a bit puzzled, since this woman really showed no hostility and this was already Mr. Wen Li’s place, she continued to follow her forward.

What does it feel like to take a winding path through the castle?

Luckily, it’s noon.

This castle is designed very well, with sunlight spilling everywhere, making it look bright and warm without any eerie feeling.

She used to think that old castles were gloomy, with a sinister feel, and living in one might be frightening.

But Wen Li’s castle really doesn’t feel that way at all.

After walking for a while, the woman still didn’t stop, so Chiang Xiao stood still.

”Excuse me, are we near the dining room?”

The woman turned around, gave her a slight smile, and said, ”We’re almost there; because Mr. Wen Li said to dine in the large dining room inside, it’s a bit further away.”

Chiang Xiao raised her eyebrows slightly.

”Do you know where Arthur is?”

”Arthur should already be in the dining room now.”

”Then, may I ask your name?”

”Miss Xiao, your English is really good.”

So, what does this mean? A non-answer answer? Chiang Xiao stood still and did not move forward.

”So?”

”Look, the dining room is right up ahead where there’s a wall covered in flowers.” The woman pointed ahead, and through the corridor, indeed, there was a wall covered in flower vines in sight.

”That’s the Green Vine Restaurant. When Mr. Wen Li hosts banquets and gatherings, it’s always there. Today there’s homemade estate wine, and flower cakes, and Mr. Wen Li has also prepared gifts for everyone participating in the competition.”

In her heart, Chiang Xiao was already suspicious, but the woman’s gaze and expression were flawless, displaying warmth throughout and speaking with such sincerity that it didn’t seem fake at all.

Since they were already here, shouldn’t she at least take a look?

Moreover, the woman kept walking along; if there were any trouble, could she still not escape?

Chiang Xiao pressed her lips and continued to follow her forward.

The door ahead was open, and looking inside, one could see sunlight pouring in, along with a long table on which three candlesticks were placed.

However, there were no dishes on the table at all.

”The dishes are about to be served; they might all be over by the fruit table on the side. Let’s go.”

Chiang Xiao watched her go in, then took steps to follow her inside.

As soon as she entered, she smelled a peculiar fragrance.

One side of the room seemed to have a lot of people. She instinctively turned her head to look, and couldn’t help but pause for a moment because there were several full-length mirrors, reflecting countless images of herself.

At that moment, the door suddenly closed with a bang, followed by a click of the lock.

Chiang Xiao instantly knew she had fallen into a trap.

She immediately rushed back to the door, reaching out to tug at it.

With this attempt, a gleam flashed in her eyes.

This door, if she kicked it hard, she could definitely break it open, because her physical strength now was stronger than many men trained in martial arts.

So, this door couldn’t really keep her in.

But, this was Mr. Wen Li’s place.

This door also seemed to be from the same era as the castle, overall very harmonious.

She still didn’t know what identity or purpose this woman exactly had, should she really break Mr. Wen Li’s door?

With this thought, she didn’t move.

”Sorry, if there’s someone I don’t like at the table, I can’t eat,” came the woman’s voice from outside, ”So you’ll have to bear with this for now. I’ll come back to let you out after I finish eating, please wait at ease.”
