Chapter 619 Chen Zhu’s Family Leaves (1)_1
Lin Yuan’s mind quickly turned, and looking back at the maid who had been leading the way, she said, "This garden is so vast, I doubt Ying Tao could find it alone. So, I am in no rush to return, and it would trouble you, Miss, to help Maternal Aunt Liu look for it. I’m sure that once it is found, Maternal Aunt Liu will definitely reward you."
The maid had initially been reluctant to help, but upon hearing about a reward, she briskly agreed. She set the gift she was holding onto the corridor beside her and joined the search party for the earring.
Lin Yuan’s lips curved into a smile as she looked at Mrs. Liu, "Maternal Aunt Liu, did you seek me out for something?"
Mrs. Liu was startled, then gave a self-deprecating chuckle, "Ying Tao had mentioned Miss Lin to me before, but I didn’t believe her at the time. Now, though, I am convinced."
Lin Yuan found a random spot to sit down and laughed, "What are you convinced of?"
Mrs. Liu also sat down next to her, "Miss Lin, you are extremely clever, brave and resourceful. Even though we come from similar backgrounds, you are much stronger than I am."
It seemed that Mrs. Liu had learned quite a bit about her. Lin Yuan glanced at where she was sitting, at the edge of a small flower bed. Since the flowers in the bed had mostly withered, they would not prick them. But there were still plenty of grass clippings and dust around the flower bed. She had always been quite careless and did not mind these things, unlike Mrs. Liu, who seemed to share her disposition. If Lin Siyu were here, she would definitely scorn her for not caring about appearances, and if it were Jin Yuyu, she would probably use a handkerchief to wipe the spot before sitting down.
With this thought, Lin Yuan’s smile broadened, and she felt a greater sense of closeness to Mrs. Liu.
Perhaps sitting down together had lessened the distance between them, and Mrs. Liu spoke with fewer reservations. She rubbed the handkerchief in her hands and said softly, "Miss Lin, I, I have a favor to ask of you."
"Oh?" Lin Yuan looked at Mrs. Liu with surprise.
Mrs. Liu bit her lip, seemingly in a dilemma, "Ying Tao, her brother...is he working at your shop? I, I would like to ask you to look after him."
