Chapter 87: Chapter 87

Fu Yinli served a bowl of soup and placed it in front of her, "Drink the soup first."

The soup had herbs added to it, and one could smell it immediately. Su Lingzhi took the spoon and drank silently.

Suddenly remembering something, she glanced sideways at him, "By the way, I’m afraid I can’t go to England with you today."

Fu Yinli met her gaze.

Su Lingzhi explained, "I want to visit the Su Family, and I also want to find Xiaoxi to tell them that my eyes have recovered."

"You can say it over the phone." His voice sank.

Previously separated by distance, many changes occurred between them. From now on, he didn’t want them to have any chance to be apart.

"I want to see them." Su Lingzhi pivoted the conversation, "Your trip is for half a month, isn’t it? Let me handle my affairs first, then I’ll go to England to find you."

"How long will it take?"

"About two or three days." Su Lingzhi had already planned the time, "Our school’s graduation ceremony is this week, and there are many things in the apartment I live in that haven’t been packed up. I definitely have to go back."

Gazing at her elegant and serene face, Fu Yinli furrowed his brow and finally relented: "Don’t make me wait too long."

Su Lingzhi smiled and nodded, "Okay."

Shortly after lunch, Xiao Li arrived to pick her up.

He left Housekeeper Zhao behind to accompany her when she went.

Su Lingzhi initially wanted to stop at the entrance of Jing Garden, but he pulled her into the car and took her to the airport.

Following him all the way to the ground where the private plane was parked.

The view was vast, and the air carried a hint of heat.

Su Lingzhi let go of his hand, "I’ll send you off here."

Then, teasingly, she added, "Wait for me."

If he wished, he could have tied her to the plane right now, but it was only a matter of two or three days, not something unbearable.

Fu Yinli slightly raised his lips, grasping her waist with both hands, wrapping her in a deep kiss.

Su Lingzhi rarely took the initiative, hooking her arm around his neck, tasting his flavor with parted lips.

Warm breaths intertwined, as if something was melting.

Those waiting nearby unanimously turned their gaze away, idly gazing into the distance.

After the kiss ended, Su Lingzhi pressed her moist lips against his nose, "Remember to think of me."

"Since when did you become so alluring, hmm?" His deep, magnetic voice carried a hint of seduction.

In a moment of tangled silence, Su Lingzhi whispered in his ear, "Because you make me happy."

After speaking, she kissed his left cheek, then let go of her hand, standing before him with a smile.

Fu Yinli met her pure, serene gaze with deep eyes, wishing he could devour her now.

He held his breath and lingered on her lips for another kiss, "I’ll let you off today; in three days, I must see you in England."

Watching the plane take off, entering the clouds, Su Lingzhi withdrew her gaze, pondered for a moment, and then turned to leave.

Housekeeper Zhao drove, taking her to the Su Family Mansion. Su Lingzhi asked him to wait at the door while she went in alone.

The guard at the door saw it was her and let her pass.

The bird calls among the treetops accentuated the peaceful atmosphere of the mansion. Su Lingzhi walked under the shaded path, heading to her family residence.

Strangely enough, this was where she had lived since childhood, yet stepping into this yard now brought a sense of unfamiliarity, making her feel quite distant.

The family maid saw her, her face full of surprise, mixed with a hint of apprehension, "Miss, you can see?"

Su Lingzhi asked calmly, "Is Mom at home?"

"Today is a weekday; Madam went to work and hasn’t returned yet."

Before she could speak, the maid continued, "Sir and Second Miss are not here either."

Su Lingzhi’s expression was complex, and stepping into the villa before her seemed to require psychological preparation, making her feel like a guest.

"I’m back to see Mom and Dad, and to pick up some things."

The maid quickly led her inside, serving tea as a welcome.

Su Lingzhi hesitated for a while, then turned to go upstairs.

She opened the door to her bedroom, glanced at the dusty space, her gaze fixing on the suitcase.

Since returning home, that suitcase had remained unopened, the gifts intended for her family also unsent.

She took a deep breath, unlocked the suitcase, and searched through its contents, arranging everything to take downstairs. She also grabbed a document bag, packing up important certificates and drafts.

Once everything was packed, she gave one last glance at her bedroom, taking the documents downstairs.

By chance, she saw Tong Yan returning just halfway down the stairs.

Their eyes met, both of them halting simultaneously.

Su Lingzhi regained her composure, calmly walking down the stairs.

Tong Yan glanced at the waiting maid beside her, asking, "Who allowed you to let an outsider in?"

The maid trembled, not daring to answer.

Su Lingzhi lowered her brows, looking at Tong Yan’s arrogant demeanor, "A beloved actress among people, yet privately showing this attitude. If this gets out, can your pure and kind image withstand it?"

Tong Yan glared at her fiercely, "This is my home; an outsider like you still dares to come in without permission, it’s trespassing."

"And," Tong Yan angrily approached her, staring at the items in her hand, "Everything here belongs to our Su Family; on what basis are you taking it away? Do you not know what stealing is?"

Su Lingzhi chuckled coldly, unfazed by her insults, "Would you dare say that in front of Mom and Dad?"

"You..." Tong Yan was rendered speechless with anger.

Su Lingzhi met her gaze indifferently, "I left this place to avoid our irreconcilable conflict making things difficult for Mom. If you continue to be so savage, I don’t mind letting the Su Family see your true face."

These words instantly escalated their conflict to the extreme. Fresh chapters posted on novèlfire.net

Tong Yan glared at her viciously, her anger boiling over. Seeing the current situation, her eyes must indeed be sighted, hence her audacity to confront her.

Yet Su Lingzhi had no desire to see her any longer, walking out of the living room indifferently.

"Stop right there!" Tong Yan shouted.

Su Lingzhi paused her steps, her voice still calm, "I’m going to visit Grandma and Grandpa; would you like to come along?"

Mentioning "Grandma and Grandpa" somewhat dampened Tong Yan’s momentum, causing her to hesitate without responding.

Su Lingzhi paid her no further attention and proceeded directly to the Su Family’s main residence.

The elder Master and Mistress expressed little change upon learning her eyesight was restored, giving her not even a word of concern. When they offered for her to stay for dinner, their tone was indifferent and aloof, making Su Lingzhi unsure if it was a mere courtesy or if they genuinely wished for her to stay.

After deliberating for a moment, she ultimately made an excuse to leave.
