"What did you say?"
At nine o'clock as the sun rose, Lin Kerou, dressed impeccably and smiling gently, was stopped at the gates of the Fu Mansion by the old butler.
"Ms. Lin, I apologize, but Old Mrs. Fu is taking a nap and won't wake up anytime soon. Besides, she has already instructed that she won't be seeing visitors for the next few days. Please go back."
The old butler said matter-of-factly.
She knew her actions back then had angered Fu Yanci and caused Old Mrs. Fu to harbor resentment toward her. Yet, having traveled thousands of miles to return, how could she give up so easily?
"Uncle Ning, then... can I just take a glance at Xiao Bao? Don't worry; I swear I won't reveal myself to him before Yanci gives the nod. Really, I guarantee!"
Lin Kerou spoke sincerely.
"Then I really can't help you."
