C169 This Is Situ Ye's Territory

Shen Mingxi stopped and squinted her beautiful eyes. She looked at the door of the room with confusion.

"Big Miss!" Standing at the door, the old woman, who was already old, saw Shen Mingxi's entire face clearly and her tone had already become slightly agitated. She could not help but shout again.

"Mrs Lee?" Shen Mingxi finally reacted and her narrowed eyes loosened. She looked at Mrs Lee who had already entered the room in disbelief.

Mrs Lee had been staying in the Shen family as a servant since Shen Mingxi could remember things. It had been more than 20 years since then.

Ever since she was caught by Situ Ye's side, she originally thought that she would not have the chance to see the people of the Shen family anymore. She did not expect that she would actually appear here.

"Why are you here?" Shen Mingxi suspiciously looked at Mrs Lee, whose forehead had already grown white, because she had watched her grow up. Her relationship with this servant was quite good. But it was also because Mrs Lee was more concerned about her. And she was privately tormented by Zuo Manqing and Shen Yueran.

This was Situ Ye's territory. Logically speaking, Mrs Lee should not have appeared here.

After confirming that it was Situ Ye, Mrs Lee's face became gentle. She quickly walked towards Shen Mingxi and frowned as she pulled the blanket. After covering Shen Mingxi's exposed arm, she smiled and said, "It was young master Situ who invited me over. He said that you are here."

When something happened to Shen family, the original servants had changed owners. Mrs Lee was also old and did not intend to be a servant anymore. However, the price given by Situ Ye was quite attractive. He also remembered that Shen Mingxi was here. After thinking for a while, Mrs Lee agreed.

Situ Ye?

Shen Mingxi's heart trembled slightly. She probably did not think that he would actually invite Mrs Lee over. But the doubt only lasted for a moment. Her delicate little face... "You should not have come." She paused for a moment before speaking in an indifferent tone.

"Hm?" Mrs Lee was also ordered to come up to see if Shen Mingxi had woken up. When she suddenly heard her say this, she could not help but be curious and stared at Shen Mingxi in surprise.

After a moment of silence, Shen Mingxi shook her head. Her starry eyes were already covered by thick long eyelashes, "Nothing much. Situ Ye is not a good Mistress. You should pay more attention."

Just looking at the entire manor like a servant carved out from the same mold, Shen Mingxi was also a little worried for Mrs Lee.

She had never received any training in this area. The reason why she stayed in the Shen family was because she had been in the Shen family for a long time and knew everyone's preferences.

In a manor where the air was almost cold, could she get used to it?

Hearing this, Mrs Lee nodded her head as if she understood but her warm eyes were filled with heartache when she looked at Shen Mingxi's pale face, "How long has it been since we last met? Why did Eldest Miss lose so much weight?"

Did she lose weight?

Shen Mingxi lifted her wrist and clearly saw the obvious veins and shook her head helplessly.

Because of Zuo Manqing, she even sacrificed her own child! What was a bit of loss?

"It's done." Seeing that Shen Mingxi's expression was very tired, Mrs Lee very quickly squeezed out a smile and kindly said, "Eldest Miss lie down and sleep for a while. What do you want to eat? I will make it right away!"

Shen Mingxi originally did not have any appetite and also did not want to eat anything.

But it was unknown whether it was the smile on Mrs Lee's face that infected her or for some other reason, she was silent and nodded her head. "I want millet porridge. I remember that you made it very delicious."

Situ Ye was in the living room downstairs. He had just finished making the phone call when he turned around and saw Mrs Lee coming down from above with a slightly hunched back. Even he did not notice that he was still nervous on his cold handsome face.

"Is she awake?"

Mrs Lee respectfully stood in front of Situ Ye and nodded. "Eldest Miss just woke up and wants to eat the millet congee I made. I will do it right away!"

She wants to eat something?

At that moment, it was unclear whether Situ Ye was relieved or even more disappointed.

However, he quickly suppressed all his emotions.

He only waved his hand at Mrs Lee, gesturing for her to go to the kitchen. He condensed Mrs Lee's figure and felt slightly glad that he found the right person.

Ever since he had memories of this house, it had always been as cold as before Shen Mingxi came. He had been warned not to reveal his emotions since he was young. And so... He lost the fun of his childhood and turned himself into an ice sculpture. He slowly got used to it.

The maids here continued their old habits. They were all trained to do things in an orderly manner. Their faces were almost all decorative and there was no expression on them at all.

Situ Ye focused on Mrs Lee's figure until the kitchen door swallowed her. Only then did he slowly withdraw his gaze. Just as he was about to go upstairs to take a look, the phone in his hand rang quickly.

After picking up the phone, the voice of the secretary quickly came from the phone, "Young Master, everything is ready."

Situ Ye's cold eyes looked proudly at the bright sunlight outside the window. His slender body... However, it was cold as if he was soaking in ice water. He paused for a moment. He opened his thin lips and said to the big screen phone, "No mistakes are allowed!"

The secretary's breathing became slightly disordered. Then, she quickly agreed, "Everything will be done according to Young Master's instructions. Please rest assured, Young Master!"

Situ Ye neatly hung up the call. When he thought of Zuo Manqing, his deep brows suddenly became cold again.

After touching his woman, she still dared to escape?

If this matter was in the past, Situ Ye would definitely solve Zuo Manqing without hesitation. But now, he had changed his mind.

How could he quell his anger if he only let her die?

He would find her and destroy her with his own hands! - - -

Shen Mingxi had just fallen asleep for a short while when the sound of footsteps came from the quiet corridor again.

When Mrs Lee went out earlier, she did not completely close the door. The door of the room was open and it could not be muted by the sound outside.

Was it Mrs Lee or Situ Ye?

Shen Mingxi curled up under the soft blanket and lightly trembled twice. Her ears carefully listened to the sound and it was very calm. It should not be Mrs Lee.

Sure enough, when the door of the room was opened from the outside, Shen Mingxi borrowed the light from the French window to enter the room. At first glance, she recognized Situ Ye who was wearing a black shirt and a pair of well-ironed pants.

"Did you not sleep?" Originally, Situ Ye did not intend to enter the bedroom when he passed by the bedroom door.

Although many things had happened in the past two days, he had never allowed his emotions to be exposed like this.

He shouldn't have been nervous about a woman who was still suspected of killing, and he shouldn't have let his heartbeat go out of control. All of this had gone far beyond his standards and bottom line.

However, even though he had walked two steps away and the study room was right in front of him, he still turned around and opened the door in the end!
