Chapter 89: Sister Mei Ling, Lend Me Your Old High School Uniform

Jiang Shi Yue hummed and asked casually, “What is it?”

Li Wen talked long-windedly, “You know how it is. Ever since I posted that South City Villa video, a lot of netizens have been sending me private messages and leaving comments about strange things they’ve personally experienced, but some of them look totally fake at a glance and aren’t interesting. And you also know that ever since our video blew up, dealing with these private messages has been really tiring, so for the ones with no real value, I definitely don’t dare show you, Boss, because I’m afraid of bothering you.”

Li Wen continued, “But tonight’s message is really different. I couldn’t help telling you right away, because that netizen said that when she was little, she lived in an ancestral residence. Later her whole family moved away, but she remembered what happened when she was little very clearly. Every full-moon night, she would see an embroidered shoe walk through the corridor. There was no one – it was the shoe walking! And this ancestral residence is in our city!”

“Where?” Jiang Shi Yue raised an eyebrow with interest and asked directly.

Li Wen lowered his voice, waiting for her to ask. “It’s Run Yuan, Run Yuan in South District!”

Run Yuan sat on the outskirts of South District. It had at least a few hundred years of history, with pavilions and towers, small bridges over running water, several layers of main gates, and a number of side rooms. It was said that back then, this residence belonged to some official’s family.

Passed down generation after generation until now, it was a private residence. But later, the last owner sold it. As for who it was sold to, nobody knew.

An ancestral residence like that was an antique, especially a few-hundred-year-old house like this. The person who bought it must have paid an astronomical price, and C City was already worth its weight in gold.

Jiang Shi Yue said, “Can you arrange for the person who messaged you to meet us?”

“It’s a bit hard. She’s a senior in high school at a private girls’ school, and the school started early. She can’t get out,” Li Wen said, looking a little distressed as he mentioned it.

A private girls’ school could be called an elite girls’ academy. The ones who studied there were either daughters of rich families, or truly from scholarly households. Jiang Mei Ling had studied there before.

And the private girls’ school used a closed campus system. Students could only go home once every half month.

It was understandable that the girl who messaged Li Wen could attend that school, because not just anyone could afford to live in a hundred-year-old ancestral residence.

That also required the deep roots of a refined, prestigious family.

“It’s fine. Then we’ll go and find her,” Jiang Shi Yue said with a smile, looking completely unconcerned.

Jiang Mei Ling was in a terrible mood. She heard the sound of Jiang Shi Yue coming home, and when she thought about how proud she had been at the birthday banquet and how much she had stolen the spotlight, she was so jealous her teeth itched.

But she only dared to draw a curse circle behind Jiang Shi Yue’s back.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. Jiang Mei Ling decided to hurry up and put on a face mask, then sleep her beauty sleep. It would be best if she could raise herself into an immortal maiden and crush Jiang Shi Yue with looks.

But as soon as she finished putting on the face mask, she heard a knock on her bedroom door.

In the middle of the night, why was someone knocking?

The moment she heard the knock, she was so angry her face mask was about to fall off. She stormed over and opened the door.

But the instant she opened it, her arrogant temper flared up and then got completely snuffed out.

Because the one standing outside was Jiang Shi Yue.

She smiled at her and said one sentence, “Sister Mei Ling, lend me your old high school uniform.”
