Fated to My Billionaire Husband

Chapter 794: Chapter 794: There Must Be a Problem with That Picture Frame_1 Chapter 794: Chapter 794: There Must Be a Problem with That Picture Frame_1 Mother Ruan thought she was going to splash tea on them, and she instinctively stepped back, pulling Yan Yue with her.

However, Jian Yufei just walked past them with the teacup in hand, heading straight for Ruan Anguo’s study.

She didn’t offer a word of defense, nor showed the slightest hint of aggrievement.

Mother Ruan sneered contemptuously, “A sycophant, always trying to please the old man…Even if the old man likes you, don’t ever think about marrying my son!”

Yan Yue concealed a smile at the corner of her lips.

As Jian Yufei had brought this upon herself, she couldn’t blame her for being ruthless…

“Knock, knock, knock—”

Without waiting for a response after knocking on the old man’s study door, Jian Yufei immediately pushed it open.

“Grandfather, I’ve brought you some tea.”

Ruan Anguo was sitting at his desk, holding a photo frame.

On seeing her enter, he quickly hid the photo frame in the drawer and closed it.

Jian Yufei briefly flashed a glint in her eyes but smiled naturally, “Grandfather, you haven’t drunk the tea that I made for you.”

She placed the tea cup on his desk, and Ruan Anguo accepted it with a smile.

He took a sip and praised, “It tastes great. Indeed, I always enjoy the tea you make.”

Jian Yufei let her hands hang down, hidden behind the tall desk, she took the bracelet off her wrist, and the bracelet fell onto the thick carpet.

“Grandfather, I’ll leave you to your work. I’m going out.”

“Alright, go ahead,” said Ruan Anguo, staring at her with a tender smile.

Jian Yufei turned around and left the study.

Ruan Anguo opened the drawer once again to pull out the photo frame.

In the photo frame, there was a picture of a middle-aged man and a young man.

They were standing on a golf course, dressed in white sportswear, one hand holding a golf club and the other making a victorious high-five gesture.

The middle-aged man in the picture was him in his younger days.

And the handsome young man was Xiao Zexin, the person who signed the letter she received today.

Ruan Anguo stared at Xiao Zexin’s photo, a deep sense of guilt washing over his old face.

“Dear Zexin, you trusted me so much, yet I’ve failed your trust… I’m so unworthy, and deeply ashamed…”

…

After leaving the study, Jian Yufei went upstairs and returned to her room. She didn’t plan to come out for a while.

To prevent herself from accidentally running into Yan Yue or Lady Ruan and getting mocked by them, she decided to stay in her room.

Her time was tight. She just wanted to figure out the grudge between Xiao Zexin and Ruan Anguo. She had no energy to deal with anything else.

Before lunch, Jian Yufei went out to eat.

She was afraid she wouldn’t be able to eat if she sat at the same table with Lady Ruan and Yan Yue.

After returning to the old house from lunch, she walked into the living room. It was quiet.

There was no one in the living room. She didn’t know where everyone had gone.

A maid walked past her. She stopped her and asked with a smile, “Where’s the old master?”

“The old master left after lunch. I guess he’s gone out to hang out with friends.”

“Okay, I understand.”

After getting her answer, Jian Yufei prepared to go upstairs. When she reached the spiral staircase, she hesitated.

She glanced around, saw no one, and walked towards Ruan Anguo’s study…

When she brought him tea in the morning, she noticed him looking at a photo frame.

And, when he saw her come in, he quickly hid the photo frame.

There must be something wrong with that photo frame…

Jian Yufei arrived at the study door, turned the doorknob, and the door opened gently.

Thankfully, all the maids in the Ruan Family were very disciplined, so the door of the study was never locked.
