Hearing that voice, Zuo Yue suddenly poked her head out from the blanket.
She really thought she was hearing things.
Who else would have the password lock or key to this villa?
It was New Yearâs Day after tonight. Could it be that her uncle was unwilling to let her spend the New Yearâs Eve here alone, so he specially flew back to accompany her?
Zuo Yue quickly sat up and took the blanket from her body. She was about to stand up and walk to the door to take a look.
The door in front of her was suddenly opened from the outside in. The person who walked in shocked Zuo Yue and she immediately froze on the spot.
âMiss Sun, how did you lose so much weight?â
When she saw Wang Ma walk in, Zuo Yue fell back on the sofa as if she had lost all her strength.
Wang Ma was a servant of the Zuo family. She was the closest person to her in the Zuo family besides her parents. She had also grown up under Wang Maâs eyes.
Zuo Yue didnât expect that the person who suddenly came here today would be Wang Ma, and she didnât expect Wang Ma to have the key to this place.
âYou look so pale. Have you been locked in the room for the past two days?âWang Ma looked at Zuo Yueâs haggard appearance with a pained expression. She walked over and gently reached out to touch Zuo Yueâs forehead. She was only relieved when she was sure that Zuo Yue did not have a fever.
âWhy is it you? Mother Wang? How did you get the key to this place?â Zuo Yue was disappointed, but she hadnât seen Wang Ma for a long time. In the end, she still pulled out a smile.
Seeing Zuo Yueâs forced smile, Wang Ma did not ask much. After all, an eighteen-year-old girl would inevitably have something on her mind. As a servant of the Zuo family, she would not ask too much.
Wang Ma only smiled and put the blanket on the sofa over Zuo Yue.âLook at your thin appearance. Although this room is very warm, you should wear more clothes. Donât catch a cold.â
As she spoke, Mother Wang placed the keys and room card on the coffee table.âMadam gave this to me. Madam said that Mr. Xu had called the Zuo family before he left and asked them to arrange for someone to pick you up. He also said that you would probably not be able to return to Los Angeles until after your final exams. Therefore, Madam specially waited until yesterday to send me here. I just arrived here after a day of flight, but the ticket back has already been prepared. I have your ID card here in Los Angeles. Weâll just rush to the airport later.â
âAre you leaving now?â Zuo Yue asked in a daze as she suddenly turned her eyes to look outside the door. She knew that it was impossible, but she still inexplicably hoped that she could see that person again before the arrival of the new year.
[Of course, what time is it now?] Our flight back to Los Angeles is in three hours. Miss Sun, you have one hour to pack your luggage.âMother Wang smiled amiably.âBut if youâre too lazy to clean up, I can help you.â
Zuo Yue sat on the sofa and did not move.
âI knew you were lazy again, so I didnât call you in advance to tell you to pack up. Anyway, I was the one who had to clean up, so it doesnât make any difference whether I told you in advance or not.âWang Ma smiled as she turned around and looked around.âWhich is your room? Iâll help you pack your luggage.â
âNo need, Wang Ma. I just want to take some clothes back. Anyway, the Zuo family has a lot of my clothes, so I donât have to pack too many things. I have to come back to live after the holidays.âZuo Yue said as she stood up and was about to return to her room.
âYouâre still coming back?â Wang Ma looked at her in confusion.â But before I came, I heard Madam say that after your winter vacation, sheâll buy you an apartment here and let you live in your own apartment.ââ
Zuo Yue turned to look at her.â
Wang Ma shook her head.â Iâm not very sure. It seems that Mr. Xu and Madam had a phone call, and then Madam told me to take your luggage with me when I came. She also said that Mr. Xu might not have time to come back to take care of you in the future. Itâs not convenient for you to live alone in this villa, so she arranged an apartment of a moderate size for you.â
Was it because Little Uncle had called his mother? Did Little Uncle not intend to let her continue to live here?
He took all his things.
Now, she had to move everything away.
What would happen to this villa in the future?
Sold? Transfer it to someone elseâs name? Or rent it out? Or should he just stay here without anyone?
Zuo Yue didnât dare to think about it, but Wang Ma had already followed her upstairs. When she found her bedroom, she went straight in and opened the wardrobe to help her pack her clothes.
Wang Ma had always been like her mother, so there was nothing that she couldnât see or touch. Zuo Yue sat on the bed in a daze.
After Wang Ma tidied up for a while, she turned around and returned to her bed. When she opened the drawer, she put some of Zuo Yueâs belongings into the suitcase. Suddenly, she saw a seven-colored doll in a crystal box. She didnât remember Zuo Yue having such a thing with her, so she immediately asked,âMiss Sun, do you want to take these dolls with you? It seemed to be a little heavy, and she wondered if it would be inconvenient to hold it.â
Zuo Yue turned to look at the dolls and recalled the time when Xu Chengfeng helped her buy the dolls. After a moment of silence, she said,ââTake him away.â
Wang Ma glanced at her. Although she didnât know what Zuo Yue was feeling right now, she could tell from her eyes that these dolls were very important to her.
Thus, Mother Wang carefully placed the crystal box and the doll at the bottom of the suitcase and wrapped them in soft clothes to prevent them from getting hurt.
Seeing her mother-in-law who could understand her feelings so well, she did not ask much, but she did everything to the best of her ability. Moreover, she was gentle and quiet, making Zuo Yue feel as if she had returned to the atmosphere of the Zuo family where there was someone by her side to take care of her every day.
She was Old Master Zuoâs granddaughter, the young lady of the Zuo family. Nothing had ever troubled her since she was young. However, she had never expected that she would be covered in wounds in just a few months when she was eighteen and knew what love was for the first time.
An hour later.
Wang Ma carried two suitcases and looked at Zuo Yue, who had already finished dressing. She stood behind her and said softly,âMiss Sun, is there anything else you need to take away? We can take the opportunity
âYes.â Zuo Yue responded and turned around to walk to the door.
Seeing Zuo Yue suddenly stop in her tracks, Mother Wang directly pushed open the door and walked out.
The villa became even more empty. Zuo Yue stood in front of the door and suddenly looked back at the hall behind her. It was already night time. The lights in the villa were all off. It was dark and quiet.
