Chapter 1044 - 015 Asking Around Clearly (Second Update)_2
"Little sister, big sister and the gentleman have something to discuss, can you go play later, is that okay?" Lin Wei hurriedly took hold of Xiao Linshuang’s hand and earnestly persuaded her, but for some reason, the usually well-behaved little sister was stubbornly disobedient this time. Even Dong Qing uncharacteristically closed her mouth and kept glaring at Ma Junying.
Seeing their behavior, what could Lin Yuan not understand? She chuckled lightly and was very apologetic as she declined Ma Junying’s invitation.
Ma Junying was not an inexperienced woman like Cheng Yuexiu. Although she had not been in the Capital city for long, her particular attention to Xia Zheng meant that she had made it her business to find out about Dong Qing’s identity long ago.
Confronted with Dong Qing’s undisguised hostility, Ma Junying suddenly remembered Xia Zheng’s rascal’s smile. Indeed, like master, like servant!
"In that case, let’s catch up some other day," Ma Junying did not insist further and asked, "Miss Lin, your family suddenly moved to the Capital city. Are you staying at the General Mansion now?"
Lin Yuan’s eyebrows raised, and it seemed Ma Junying had not been ignoring what was happening around him since his arrival in the Capital city. It appeared he had already made inquiries about Xia Zheng’s identity.
"No," Lin Yuan shook her head, "I have my own residence in the Capital city, and that’s where I’m staying now."
"Oh?" When Lin Yuan mentioned she had her own residence in the Capital city, Ma Junying immediately became interested. He had always known she was wealthy, but properties in the Capital city were not something one could simply buy with money, especially considering her entire family was there, it surely wasn’t an ordinary small residence.
"Miss Lin has her own residence in the Capital city? That really makes me look at you with new eyes. Had I known earlier that you had a place to stay, I would have troubled you with a visit instead of staying in the inn, which is quite inconvenient."
So, it turned out Ma Junying was staying at an inn.
