Chapter 55 -55 The Couple’s Show of Affection is Beautiful
The butler looked utterly confused: “Ma’am, the young master and the young mistress didn’t sleep in separate rooms, it’s just that they had a fight last night, and in a huff, the young mistress came to sleep in the guestroom.”
“But later in the night, the young master regretted it, ran downstairs to coax the young mistress, and they ended up squeezing together in the guest room for the night.”
“You’re talking nonsense!” Lu Xuemei tightened her face, like a lioness enraged.
Meng Lian pretended to be virtuous, clinging to the old lady’s arm: “Mother, to see what the truth is, why don’t we go upstairs and check? Real-life traces can’t be faked. Whether Zhou’er and Manman really slept in separate rooms, let’s go and see for ourselves?”
“The second sister-in-law is right!” Lu Xuemei immediately agreed.
The old lady nodded, not feeling well at this moment.
Zhou’er and Manman had only been married for such a short time, and now they were already sleeping in separate rooms.
It is said that once the rooms are separated, the affection between spouses tends to fade.

Zhou’er was already indifferent about male-female relationships, if he truly hurt Manman’s heart, what would they do if Manman ran away?
“…Let’s go see, let’s go see!” The old lady trembled, barely able to stand.
Meng Lian supported her as they went upstairs.
Lu Xuemei walked in the front, pushing open the door to Lu Xingzhou’s bedroom.
To see clearly inside, she even specifically turned on the light.
She entered the room like a bandit, looking here and there.
“Ma’am, the young master doesn’t like others touching his stuff…”
The butler followed up, kindly reminding.
Lu Xuemei suddenly paused, realizing how rash she was.
Although she was Lu Xingzhou’s aunt and a senior, she was very wary of this nephew of hers.
Meng Lian supported the old lady, who glanced around and immediately got distracted by the view from the balcony.
“That is…?”
“Oh, that belongs to the young mistress… The young mistress always washes clothes by hand, says clothes need to be sun-dried, says she’s not used to wearing clothes that have been tumble-dried, so the young master had this clothesline installed.”
“Hahaha.” The old lady burst into hearty laughter upon hearing this.
They were top-tier wealthy, not accustomed to seeing such grounded contraptions.
“Manman is right, sun-dried clothes and machine-dried, do feel different on the body.”
“Shameless, who hangs their underwear so conspicuously?” Lu Xuemei was dismissive, “Indeed a wild girl, installing a clothesline in a mansion worth billions… If we tell others, it would be a laughingstock!”
Meng Lian wasn’t giving up, she stayed silent but turned to look at the wardrobe.
As it was all glass, the clothes inside were clear to see.
On the far right was a cabinet, full of women’s T-shirts.
She let go of the old lady and walked towards the bathroom.
There were two sets of toiletries in the bathroom, and a wooden comb with several strands of long hair caught in it.
The old lady was very pleased with what she saw, motioning with her hand, “Let’s go, Zhou’er doesn’t like others in his room.”
“How is that possible…” Meng Lian frowned, unwilling to give up.
But what she saw left her no ground to argue.
“Second sister-in-law, shall we go? Could Jingya have been mistaken?” Lu Xuemei walked into the bathroom, pulling at Meng Lian.
Meng Lian furrowed her brows, having no choice, she reluctantly left with Lu Xuemei.
…
Downstairs, in the guest room.
Jiang Man retracted her leg that was hooked around Lu Xingzhou’s.
Lu Xingzhou rose gracefully, straightened his robe, looking as if he had strolled through a bed of flowers without a single leaf sticking to him.
“How did you know Grandma would come over?”
“Last night, I found that someone had gone through my purse and wardrobe. Apart from the cleaning staff, no one else enters my room, and the cleaning staff wouldn’t touch my things. So, you can guess who it was by counting on your toes.”
Jiang Man lay down, propped up her legs, and started playing Candy Crush on her phone.
“Also, I have a very keen nose. When I walked in last night, I smelled a faint scent of perfume, exactly like the one Wen Jingya wears.”
“That makes sense,” Lu Xingzhou nodded agreeably, his admiration evident when he looked at Jiang Man, “You’re like a detective.”
“I’m a die-hard fan of Detective Conan,” Jiang Man said nonchalantly.
Lu Xingzhou couldn’t tell if she was joking or serious.
But one thing he was clear about, Jiang Man was very smart, exceptionally smart!
“Wen Jingya realized we were sleeping in separate rooms but didn’t say a word. I figured she must be planning a big move, probably getting Grandma to catch us in the act! So, I had instructed the butler beforehand; if Grandma made a surprise visit, he was to immediately inform you to come to my room.”
“Then why didn’t you come up to my room instead?” Lu Xingzhou asked curiously.
Jiang Man executed a kip-up, sitting up cross-legged.
Her fingers still deftly played with her phone, but she lifted her eyelids and gave Lu Xingzhou a glance.
Her gaze was full of mischief, wild and arrogant.
“Going to your room is so boring? I wanted to give your second aunt and aunt a walk.”
Her laugh was boisterous, conveying a sense of having everything under her control.
“No other reason, just for fun.”
Soon, Jiang Man toned down the sharpness in her eyes.
“We must play our parts well. Shall we go upstairs to brush our teeth and wash our faces together? I’m not used to the disposable toiletries in the guest room.”
“Okay,” Lu Xingzhou nodded, feeling an indescribable sentiment within.
He had encountered all sorts of people in the business world, many of whom were cunning and strategic, but he had never met anyone like Jiang Man.
Where others would strive to hide their schemes, she flaunted hers, wild in a way that commanded respect.
“Oh? Grandma, what brings you here?” Jiang Man’s acting came naturally, catching Lu Xingzhou off guard.
He watched as she cunningly walked up and warmly embraced Grandma’s arm.
“We were just bored, came to see you and Zhou’er,” the old lady awkwardly explained.
“A’Lian, weren’t you going to make breakfast for Zhou’er and Manman? Why don’t you hurry up and go?”
“Yes.” Meng Lian was dazed, lacking the extra brain cells to ponder what exactly was happening.
Jiang Man crooked her mouth, her eyes sharp as fire, “Grandma, Xingzhou and I are going upstairs to brush our teeth and wash our faces, okay?”
“Go ahead,” the old lady said with a smile and a wave of her hand.
Watching Jiang Man and Lu Xingzhou go up the stairs together, the old lady felt comforted. “Good, really good. It seems the young couple has made up after a fight. They are getting along well now, which is great.”
“Mom, it looks like Jingya was right. They indeed had a fight, and sleeping in separate rooms must have been a misunderstanding,” Lu Xuemei quickly vindicated Wen Jingya upon seeing this.
The old lady didn’t give it much thought, nodding her head, “It’s not Jingya’s fault; she meant well.”
“Yes, indeed,” Lu Xuemei supported the old lady, “Mom, let me help you to the sofa, and I’ll give you a back massage.”
As she finished speaking, Meng Lian’s phone rang in the kitchen.
Incoming call—Jingya…
