Chapter 67: Chapter 67 Have You Been a Soldier?

At Mei Garden’s main bedroom on the second floor of the villa, Wang Meijuan had taken out all the items from Tang Xiaowan’s suitcase.

She put the clothes in the wardrobe, the cosmetics on the dressing table, and even categorized and organized the 20 pairs of different styled shoes and corresponding socks in the shoe cabinet.

In just 20 minutes, the walk-in closet was transformed anew.

When Tang Xiaowan returned after finishing her meal, Wang Meijuan was filling the bathtub with water.

The timing was neither too early nor too late, just perfect.

Tang Xiaowan had been staying at Li Garden for almost a month, and the meticulous care from Nanny Chen had made her feel warmly welcomed. Unexpectedly, the young Wang Meijuan was even more attentive to detail.

She looked at the neatly aligned towels and the toothbrushes and combs facing the same direction, and curiously asked, "Meijuan, were you a soldier before?"

The abrupt question somewhat surprised Wang Meijuan.

Except for the late Grandma Tang, no one knew about her military background, and she had never mentioned it, not even before the incident with Tang Xiaowan.

"Miss, I..."

Tang Xiaowan took the bathrobe from Wang Meijuan’s hands and smiled sweetly, "I’m not criticizing you, I’m praising you, can’t you tell? You’ve organized the room so neatly. Could you teach me how to do it sometime?"

"Miss doesn’t need to learn these things, I’m here."

"Oh, that’s true, hahaha."

Wang Meijuan also laughed along with Tang Xiaowan, then took the opportunity to go out to the small living room to serve tea, and carefully sighed with relief.

She had indeed been nervous just now and nearly lost her composure.

After calming down and once she returned, she thought Tang Xiaowan would have already begun her bath, but Tang Xiaowan asked about another matter.

"Meijuan, what is Mr. Leng’s full name exactly? Think carefully!"

"Miss, I really don’t know his full name. The card and cellphone were delivered to my house, and I was instructed to personally hand them to you. They only mentioned that you could spend the money in the card at your discretion..."

From morning till now, Wang Meijuan had repeated Leng Lingxiao’s words almost seven or eight times.

Each time was accurate, without missing a single word.

Yet, the more she did so, the more Tang Xiaowan felt there was a problem.

She believed that it was impossible for anyone to recount the same event repeatedly without any variation, but Wang Meijuan could.

Apparently, she had really memorized it!

Quite an impressive girl, and she didn’t seem like someone who was here to harm me!

Besides, Li Zishen, the old fox, would definitely have investigated thoroughly beforehand; otherwise, she wouldn’t have had the opportunity to return to Mei Garden and come with me to Jin City.

"Okay, I understand, you can go rest now."

"Miss, I truly don’t know."

"Alright, alright, I won’t ask anymore, go rest now. I can handle the rest myself. I don’t like others watching me take a bath; it’s quite embarrassing."

"Miss, you might want to turn on the device and try making a call, the phone already has Mr. Leng’s number saved. Maybe once you get through, Mr. Leng himself will tell you everything."

"Understood, go back to your room and rest now, you’ve also had a long day, thank you."

"Yes, Miss."

At Li Garden, someone of Wang Meijuan’s status would typically reside in the Bodyguard Building, but due to Tang Xiaowan’s special status, Nanny Chen had arranged for her to stay on the first floor of the villa.

This was also considered special care.

After Wang Meijuan left, Tang Xiaowan not only drank the tea she had poured but also comfortably enjoyed a bath.

In the end, she still chose to trust.

Actually, Tang Xiaowan’s phone was turned off because she feared a conspiracy, as the big pie falling into her lap seemed too coincidental; anyone would be cautious in her place.

When she needed money, money came; when she needed a phone, a phone appeared.

Li Zishen had installed location tracking and eavesdropping software on her phone, which Tang Xiaowan was aware of. She hadn’t exposed it because she believed it was done out of goodwill and concern for her safety, but that didn’t mean she accepted or was willing to be monitored.

Thus, she planned to slip out of school during a break to buy a new phone and check if the money in her bank account was truly twenty million.

If it was, she’d repay Li Zishen a portion first, to avoid freeloading at Li Garden, and figure out the rest later.

But coincidentally, Mr. Leng appeared.

As Tang Xiaowan was blow-drying her hair, she began to suspect that the man who sneaked into her bedroom at Mei Garden yesterday was this Mr. Leng, although she bitterly lacked evidence.

On her way to Jin City, she had searched online, and in the circle of renowned domestic entrepreneurs, the surname Leng was extremely rare—there was only one.

Leng Lingxiao, male, 30 years old, originally from Huang City, currently the Chairman and General Manager of Lingxiao Group, a well-known investor and philanthropist in the country, who studied finance at Huang City University, later earning dual doctoral degrees abroad and proficient in five languages.

Tang Xiaowan was shocked by his profile.

It was hard to connect this Leng with the Leng Wang Meijuan mentioned.

How could I possibly have such an impressive friend?

But then again, Li Zishen, that guy is also quite something—a wealthy bigwig!

Birds of a feather flock together; I probably wouldn’t fall far short. Maybe I’m impressive in some ways too; otherwise, Li Zishen wouldn’t shamelessly claim to be my boyfriend.

Right, right, right!

After feeling smug, Tang Xiaowan suddenly furrowed her brows, remembering Wang Meijuan’s recent mention of a phone number.

Should she turn on the phone and try calling? Why just give it a try?

At Mei Garden—no, to be precise, from when Wang Meijuan returned to Tang Xiaowan’s side, she had never mentioned having Mr. Leng’s number stored in the phone. But just now, she inadvertently brought it up.

Could it be that this woman sneakily unlocked the phone and blurted it out in a moment of panic?

Hmm, very likely, the suspicion is quite substantial!

If Mr. Leng had told her beforehand, she wouldn’t have hidden it; it’s an important matter, so she must have been in the dark, curious and only knew from looking it up herself.

But why hadn’t that man introduced himself by name?

Actually, if he was really Leng Lingxiao, it wouldn’t be a bad thing; at least there would be a steady stream of dividends in the future!

With all these doubts, Tang Xiaowan took out the black phone and rolled back and forth on the bed playing with it, mulling over the best way to start the conversation to avoid being abrupt.

"Hello, Mr. Leng, this is Tang Xiaowan."

No, no, this won’t do. Meijuan said he and I are good friends; it sounds too distant.

"Brother Xiao, long time no see, I’m Xiao Wan."

"Hi, Brother Leng, this is Xiao Wan. Thank you for returning the card; I’ve received it."

"You might have heard that I had an incident before and somehow lost my memory, so could you please tell me your full name if it’s not too much trouble?"

No, no, it sounds so awkward, start over.

Tang Xiaowan kept rehearsing like this until half-past twelve, considering it impolite to make a call at this time, she finally decided to deal with it after going to school tomorrow.

Before going to sleep, she packed the two phones, three bank cards, and her ID card into her backpack.
