2515 Don’t Be Too Confident. Isn’t This a Slap in the Face?

Seeing Ji Ziyin behind him, he paused and called out politely, “Miss Ji.”

Yu Xinlan saw Ji Ziyin’s smile fade, and a trace of disdain flashed across her eyes as she stood up. “Grandpa, didn’t you go to the auction?”

“Mm.” Yu Qingliu was unhappy. He only responded and did not answer her question.

Only Ji Ziyin looked embarrassed and could not raise her head as if she had been hit in a sore spot.

Fortunately, Yu Xinlan did not look at her as she walked over and held Yu Qingliu’s arm. “I happen to have something to tell you. That doctor—”

Yu Qingliu reacted quickly and immediately patted her hand.

Yu Xinlan realized that the ‘outsider’ was around. She immediately glanced at the young woman from the corner of her eye and stopped talking.

An awkward atmosphere filled the room.

Ji Ziyin felt as if she had been slapped. Her face heated up as she immediately said to them, “Elder Yu, I’ll go upstairs first.”

Yu Qingliu clearly wanted her gone, but he still spoke nicely. “Yes, you’re tired tonight. Rest early.”

“Okay.” Ji Ziyin knew that Yu Xinlan did not like her, so she did not ask for a rebuff. She turned around and walked up the stairs to the guest room on the second floor.

They waited until she disappeared at the top of the stairs and heard the sound of the door closing.

Yu Qingliu finally relaxed. He pushed his granddaughter’s hand away and sat on the sofa, then raised his head and said in annoyance, “What do you want to tell me?”

“I went to the hotel to look for that doctor today and even picked a gift for her from home.” Yu Xinlan sat on the sofa beside him and mentioned the gift without any heartache.

The ruby three-piece set was a gift from Qi Yan at her coming-of-age ceremony.

Yu Xinlan had never liked the other party’s aesthetic taste. She thought the jewelry set was too gaudy for her.

Yu Xinlan took this opportunity to put the trash to good use, so she did not mind. “It’s a coming-of-age ceremony gift I received. The price is about a million yuan. However, she wasn’t at the hotel. I don’t know where she went.”

“You found out her identity?” Yu Qingliu looked at her in surprise.

Yu Xinlan had mentioned the Miracle Doctor to him during the day, but he had just gotten off the plane and had to attend an important auction at night, so he did not have the time to care about it.

He did not expect Yu Xinlan to act so quickly. Gratified, he asked, “What did you find out?”

“I checked on her, but I didn’t find anything.” Yu Xinlan didn’t dare to lie to him and said honestly, “It’s the background of the person the royal family found. I don’t know much. I only know a little information about her place and name.”

Yu Qingliu was not surprised.

The empress had a noble status and could not be approached by just anyone. It was not surprising that the royal family would investigate the Miracle Doctor.

He was about to ask Yu Xinlan for the Miracle Doctor’s name when the butler quickly walked in, bent down, and said, “Elder Yu, there’s someone outside wanting to see the Miss.”

“See me?”

Yu Xinlan pointed at herself in surprise.

The butler nodded affirmatively. “Yes.”

Yu Qingliu, on the other hand, was relatively calm. He raised his hand and said, “Let him in.”

After a while, the butler led an ordinary-looking middle-aged man in. The other party saw the two of them and explained his intentions.

“Miss Yu, I was entrusted by someone to return your gift.”
