Chapter 107 She Just Likes Picking Up People
Jiang Ziyu was at home, and soon he heard the door open.

Then came a woman's strong, resonant voice: "Since you're here, please make yourselves at home."

It doesn't seem to be Li Sui's, nor does it seem to be anyone else's from last night.

It must be what Li Sui mentioned when she left home this morning: her mother has returned.

Jiang Ziyu was confused. He thought to himself that he was still in someone else's house, and it would be inappropriate not to come out and say hello.
After a night, her mind cleared up a bit.

I was just shocked by my own actions, that I would agree to follow a stranger to his home.

Even if the other person is a seemingly harmless girl, she's a stranger, and she's a celebrity; if anything happens...

However, it seems unlikely that anything bad will happen now.

She opened the door a crack and saw four people enter the room through the gap.

There were three women and one man, but the man made Jiang Ziyu's pupils shrink.

She knows him!

I met the CEO at a banquet last year. He was a second-generation rich kid who inherited the family business when he was young, and he has developed it to the point where he is now a very famous and wealthy man.

Although this wealthy man has gained weight, I remember he was still very dashing back then, with his hair styled in gel.

The next second, she saw the boss take off the wig on his forehead, revealing a smooth bald patch.

Jiang Ziyu: "..."

The boss clutched his head, looking extremely worried: "Someone like me, will there be any hope of saving me?"

"What are you doing? Lao Guo, put your wig back on right now!" The glamorous woman with big, wavy hair immediately retorted, "It's a bit of an eyesore!"

Mr. Guo put on the wig and grimaced awkwardly, "There's no one else here now. How come your sharp tongue is even more venomous than it was twenty years ago?"

Li Ping: "More than twenty years ago, could I have imagined that you, a handsome young man, would grow up to be balding?"

Mr. Guo: "..."

He covered his face, looking as if he was about to cry from sadness.

Li Zhonghui smoothed things over, saying, "Oh, that's how it is when you get old. Old Guo has been socializing and eating and drinking without restraint every year. The company is doing so well, he must be working hard. It's normal for him to go bald."

Jiang Ziyu had originally intended to go out and say hello, but after hearing the horrifying secret, he was even more afraid to go out.

Although Mr. Guo has gained weight, his face is still quite good, and some celebrities in the industry have even approached him.

Now that she knows about such a private matter, what will happen to her if she gets caught?

Li Ping expertly rummaged through the refrigerator at home: "Wow, this brat has been eating a lot lately, the refrigerator is full of fruit and snacks."

She took some out and casually placed it on a plate for everyone: "Come on, have some, there's not much to offer you here."

Another elegant lady, dressed in a white dress, wearing sunglasses and a colorful silk scarf around her neck, gracefully tossed her long hair and asked, "What country is this fruit from?"

Li Ping: "You probably bought it on sale at the supermarket near the entrance. Didn't you have any idea about the cost of living in this neighborhood before you came in? How could you ask such a terrible question?"

The noblewoman: "..."

She coughed lightly, her tone elegant: "Your daughter is back with you at least now, and you haven't given her any pocket money? Li Ping, this stinginess isn't like you. How about you have your daughter recognize me as her godmother, and I'll give her a big red envelope? I'll even give her a house. What do you think?"

"Of course I'll accept it." Li Ping said nonchalantly, "Why wouldn't I take something that's free?"

"..." The noblewoman's lips twitched.

Li Zhonghui winked at her: "Oh, Mrs. Tao, you two stop bickering. It's been more than 20 years since you last met. You're both in your forties and still acting so immaturely."

Listening to their back-and-forth conversation, Jiang Ziyu felt conflicted.

The fact that these people can casually offer to give away a house proves that they are not ordinary people.

Especially since Mr. Guo, whom she knew, was among them.

Li Sui also knew Zhou Jiao.

Judging from this, Li Sui's background is truly impressive. Did her luck turn around after experiencing the worst of times? She actually encountered such a powerful figure. Whose daughter is Li Sui?

But why would a rich young lady live in such a place?

Looking at the cramped and dated decor, Jiang Ziyu was still somewhat confused.

Just then, Li Ping received a phone call.

"What? Ah, medicine? Okay, okay..."

After Li Ping hung up the phone, Jiang Ziyu heard footsteps approaching the door of her room.

Jiang Ziyu's heart suddenly started racing.

"Boom bang bang."

There was a light knock on the door, followed by a woman's cough: "What, Miss Jiang? My Li Sui went to buy you some medicine and will bring it back right away. She's brewing it herself in the kitchen. If you don't know how, I can help you."

Jiang Ziyu was taken aback.

Yesterday, Liu Shu prescribed some kind of medicine for her, saying it was to help her regulate her body.

I just didn't go out, I didn't expect Li Sui to go and buy me medicine?

Only then did she realize that she was actually feeling very uncomfortable.

At least for now, his face still looks pale.

But how could she dare to let Li Sui's mother prepare the medicine for her?

Jiang Ziyu immediately opened the door.

She was that beautiful woman with wavy hair. Her skin didn't look as good as that of a pampered lady, but with her bright lipstick, traces of her youthful beauty could be seen.

The three people inside the room naturally looked over at Jiang Ziyu.

Jiang Ziyu unconsciously shrank back a little: "Auntie, hello, I... my name is Jiang Ziyu."

"Jiang Ziyu?"

Li Zhonghui suddenly exclaimed excitedly, "I know, you're that celebrity!"

Li Ping also knew Jiang Ziyu; she recognized his face when she used to watch melodramatic dramas. However, back then, she criticized Jiang Ziyu's acting skills when he first debuted as an actress.

Now that the real person was standing in front of him, Li Ping felt an awkwardness that went straight to his soul.

However, she didn't speak, but gave Jiang Ziyu a deep look.

Then Li Zhonghui said, "You're the female lead in 'Qingfeng Yuan,' right?"

Li Ping: "...That was played by another actress."

Li Zhonghui awkwardly stopped her excitement: "...Ah...Oh."

I've seen plenty of celebrities, so there's nothing to take seriously.

The ringing doorbell broke the silence of the room.

Li Ping went to open the door, and sure enough, it was someone delivering medicine.

Jiang Ziyu wasn't someone who never lifted a finger, so she quickly went to brew the medicine herself.

Seeing the large and small bags of medicinal herbs in her hands, Jiang Ziyu felt a lump in her throat, never expecting to be taken in by strangers when she had nowhere else to go.

Then she heard the faint chirping of crickets outside.

"Is she the female celebrity who was trending on social media yesterday for cheating? What's she doing with your daughter?"

"How would I know? I'm not Li Sui. She likes to pick up people from her house all the time. The doctor who treated your hair was someone she picked up."

"what?"
