Even after such a long time, Chen Jinjun was still able to tell from the blurry photos that the so-called earl was Miss Anna's father.
But Chen Jinjun still couldn't figure out why the lovers who seemed to be "in love with each other" at the beginning were still a high-ranking French count, but the other one had become a translation machine that was not a human being.
Chen Jinjun saw the old lady who brought him here: "There are some things that I may need to wait until I bring her out before I can tell you."
The old lady was stunned. After all, she was also a servant of a wealthy family back then, and she knew quite a bit about the ways of the world.
Looking at Chen Jinjun's appearance, she had guessed wrongly that her young lady's condition might not be good.
She asked Chen Jinjun without giving up: "Something happened to the lady, right?"
When she asked this question, the old lady's old face trembled, as if she blamed herself, but also seemed desperate.
Chen Jinjun lowered his head and remained silent, refusing to answer.
She didn't want the old man to know that their young lady was no longer human or ghost at this moment, so Chen Jinjun could only remain silent.
But the old man was just old, not confused. She looked at Chen Jinjun's slightly pursed lips and knew what was probably going on.
Chen Jinjun sighed: "Something happened, and the condition is not very good. I will ask someone to send her back."
"Can you tell me when it is?" The old lady's eyes were full of hope.
Chen Jinjun raised his head and thought for a while: "Probably, on New Year's Eve."
After saying that, Chen Jinjun looked at the old lady and smiled reluctantly.
"Thank you, Mr. Chen." The old lady looked at Chen Jinjun and said gratefully.
Chen Jinjun frowned, and looked at the old lady with particularly sharp eyes: "Do you know who I am?"
The old lady straightened her back: "After all, our master used to be a gentleman from the Tongwen Museum in the capital. Although he didn't deal with the officials and dignitaries in the capital, he still recognized them after all."
Chen Jinjun nodded thoughtfully and said to her, "In that case, how much do you know about Dou Zhun?"
"Dou Zhun?" The old lady was stunned for a moment. She didn't know why Chen Jinjun suddenly asked about Dou Zhun.
Chen Jinjun explained to her: "To save her, we must first knock down Dou Zhun."
The old lady suddenly came back to her senses: "It must be Sheriff Dou who made a lot of noise a few days ago and wants to get married."
She seems to be quite young, but she has seen through many things: "So, the young lady is in the hands of Chief Dou's in-laws."
Chen Jinjun nodded: "Her condition is not very good. I'm afraid she will have to go to the hospital when the time comes."
Chen Jinjun frowned, feeling very unbearable.
The old lady was quite considerate: "I understand the reason. I will contact the hospital immediately. When you pick her up, we can send her to the hospital immediately."
Chen Jinjun waved his hand: "I will send her directly to the hospital. As for Dou Zhun..."
The old lady nodded: "No matter what, the Huang family can be considered a prominent figure in Rongcheng. Before the master left, he left a special favor, saying that even if the young lady comes back one day, she can live in peace and stability.
For the rest of my life.”
Chen Jinjun was shocked by Mr. Huang's plan for a rainy day, but he also understood that Ms. Huang's current state might not be able to bear the news that her father had passed away.
However, Chen Jinjun still had to tell her the news, not only to tell her the truth, but also to save her.
Because according to the news from Lei Yishan, Miss Huang has no hope of living.
"Is there anything you would like me to bring to your lady?" Chen Jinjun just took two steps out and looked back at the old lady.
The old lady looked at Chen Jinjun and thought for a long time: "Can you please tell me that I missed her very much before I left."
Chen Jinjun nodded, turned and left West Street Alley.
Lu Lianshou followed Chen Jinjun and looked at Chen Jinjun's back. He felt that Chen Jinjun's mood hit rock bottom when he walked out of the Huang family gate.
"My boss, why don't you tell me directly? If you see Miss Huang's appearance then, wouldn't it be..."
As he talked, Lu Lianshou frowned unbearably, but finally said nothing.
Chen Jinjun sighed quietly: "It's not that I don't say it, it's just that it's a good thing if you don't say it out so that everyone knows about it."
Lu Lianshou looked at Chen Jinjun's back thoughtfully and blinked in confusion.
Lei Yishan found a time when Anna was not around, sitting at the desk by the window. While looking at the book in his hand, he seemed to casually say to the translator sitting in the corner: "Miss Huang?"
Then, Lei Yishan could clearly see from the corner of his eye that the author's figure in the corner trembled.
Lei Yishan continued: "I sent people to the alley No. 6, West Street, and found out some things."
"What do you know?" Her voice was extremely soft, with a trembling tone of expectation but fear.
Somehow, Lei Yishan sensed her fear in her voice, but she also wanted to know her relatives.
For a moment, Lei Yishan wanted to hide the news in his heart.
But Lei Yishan also knew that her current hiding would only make her gradually confused in this dark time.
"There is something that requires Ms. Huang to be mentally prepared." After Lei Yishan finished speaking, he bit his lower lip tightly.
It was at this moment that his whole body exuded divine compassion, instead of his usual pretense of covering up the darkness in his heart.
It's a pity that Miss Huang couldn't see this scene with her eyes, and naturally she didn't know that Lei Yishan, who had always been gloomy, was concerned about her.
But she also knew that something bad must have happened, otherwise Lei Yishan would not be like this.
For so many days, she had been responsible for translating the exchanges between Lei Yishan and Miss Anna. Naturally, she discovered that Lei Yishan was two completely different people in private and when facing Miss Anna.
This also made her have some trust in Lei Yishan, and she even started to talk more.
"I have always prepared myself for the worst," she said softly.
Lei Yishan held the book in his hand and looked at her from across most of the room.
She sat there quietly, even though she was suffering, there was still a stubborn and unyielding arc on the corner of her mouth.
Lei Yishan threw the book in his hand on the table and covered his face with both hands.
"You don't have to be embarrassed about it." She seemed to see Lei Yishan's unbearability and comforted him.
Lei Yishan still didn't speak, still covering his face tightly with his hands, struggling in his heart. He looked at her through his fingers.
She sat there upright, and even though her eyes were covered with a piece of cloth, it was not difficult to see her strength.
Lei Yishan wanted to say something, but there was a lump in his throat and he couldn't say anything.
"I think I know what's going on."
After losing her eyes, her ears became extra sensitive, and she could naturally hear Lei Yishan's heavy breathing because of his embarrassment.
Lei Yishan raised his face from his hands and looked at her blankly: "Ah?"
"You are not a hesitant person by nature, so what makes you unable to say anything is undoubtedly the thing that makes me feel worse."
She paused and continued softly: "Is there anything in this world that can make me more sad than the death of a loved one?"
At the end of the sentence, even though her lips were trembling and her voice had a distressing vibrato, she still had a strong smile on her lips, as if to tell Lei Yishan not to worry about her.
