Chapter 7 The Lady

Eleven o'clock at night

A phone call woke Richie Lin up from his dream.

It was from Fiona Zhou.

"Hello, what's wrong ?"

"I'm mother. Come here quickly." Mom Zhou said anxiously.

Richie put on a suit and rushed to her place.

But as soon as he walked to the door, Richie saw Mom Zhou pulling him out.

"What's wrong? It's late at night. Where are you going?" Richie was confused.

"Cut the crap and tidy up your hair."

Soon they came to the opposite villa.

After knocking at the door, a young girl slowly pushed the door.

"Auntie Zhou, you came!" The girl said in a helpless tone.

"Lass, I don't know when the property management company will come. It's not a small matter if the pipe is broken. It will be troublesome if the furniture is wet. He is my son. He just came back from the army and asked him to repair it for you." Mom Zhou had a clear mind and spoke properly, leaving no reason for her to refuse.

Upon hearing the voice, the girl turned to look at the confused Richie.

The girl had delicate facial features and snow-white skin. She looked very cute in a milk-white pajama.

Her big eyes were watery and energetic.

"Then please block the water." The girl turned to let Richie in.

Seeing that her plan had succeeded, Mom Zhou said at once, "son, help Miss Chu fix it. I'll go back to sleep."

After saying that, she left, leaving the two young men confused.

Richie knew how to mend the pipe. He could also raise pigs and grow vegetables, but he had never done such things for others. It would be a shame if others knew that Young General of the North had repaired the pipe for a woman living alone at night.

"Brother Zhou, my name is Angel Chu. Thank you." She was very polite, and her voice was clear and touching.

"It doesn't matter. It's normal for the neighbors to help."

Richie couldn't refuse.

The two entered the room. The basin had clasped the broken pipe, and the overflowing water flowed out four circles of the basin.

There was a lot of water on the ground.

"Where is the main water tap?"

"They are in a room. I have contacted the property management, but the staff hasn't come yet." Angel was a little depressed. She had been busy all day and had to fix the broken pipe.

If she couldn't handle it well, she would have to stay overnight with the water.

Richie checked it carefully. Fortunately, the villa was equipped with a metal pipe, which could be blocked from the outside. If it was PVC, there would be no other way.

"Listen, take the basin away later. I'll use plastic and tape to temporarily block it and wait for the mechanic to repair it."

"Okay."

Richie followed Angel with the prepared tools, like two thieves, quietly approaching the broken part.

All of a sudden, Angel opened the water basin.

The water column hit the ceiling, which frightened Angel and made her fall backward.

Richie rushed forward the moment the basin was lifted.

The two men bumped into each other and fell into the water at the same time. Their clothes were wet.

Two o'clock in the morning.

Richie and Angel sat on the sofa, their feet wet with water.

Although the crack was successfully blocked, the furniture was still submerged.

"Thank you, brother Lin. I'm so glad to see you here.".

Richie didn't want to explain.

At this moment, his eyes wandered, daring not to look at Angel.

Angel's wet clothes well matched with her curvy figure, and her chest bulged slightly, which was even more imaginative.

Richie was tempted. He had never been friends of the opposite sex. He had been in the army all the time, where was full of guys.

"Miss Chu, although it's blocked, it's not a good place to rest here. Why don't you change your clothes and stay at my mother's place for one night?" Richie said.

It had become a hole in the water curtain. If she stayed here for one night, she might get sick on the second day.

Angel's face turned red, and she kept peeking at Richie.

Richie's shirt was soaked with sweat.

Finally, he took Angel to Mom Zhou's villa. He quietly opened an empty room and arranged for Angel to stay.

Then he sent a message to Fiona on WeChat, explaining the situation.

After making everything ready, she went back to her residence.

The next morning.

In the dining room of Mom Zhou's villa, Mom Zhou kept picking up food for Angel.

"Lass, eat more. You won't have energy until you go to work."

The enthusiastic Mom Zhou made the atmosphere a little awkward. Angel blushed with shyness.

Richie lowered his head. Since he saw the girl's figure yesterday, he had a sweet dream for the whole night. At this moment, he felt a little embarrassed when he thought of it.

After breakfast, Mike Zhang was waiting at the gate of the community.

After Richie got into the car, he started the jeep and headed for the Inherited House of Zhou.

To be exact, it was the former Inherited House.

Zhou's Inherited House had been officials in the court, so they had been well-known for generations.

After several generations' accumulation, the Inherited House had become one of the few houses in the city.

However, the old house was no longer the property of Zhou's Family. Although there was no transfer record on the house, it was directly sold to someone else at a very low price by an auction company through the way of a special agent.

Now, it belonged to Xu's Family.

In the Inherited House, a young and beautiful woman was sitting on the sofa. The white dress outlined her curvy body. She had a crown around her head, like a queen walking out of fairy tales.

Elsa Xu, the young Miss of Xu's Family, was different from the other two rich generations. She was a strong woman. He had an astonishing business mind at such a young age.

She had been a senior manager of a business project in her family at her twenty-five.

Today was her birthday. She had planned to celebrate her birthday in the hotel and develop a close business relationship with the rich and powerful families.

But yesterday, the news made her cancel the original plan.

All the property of Sun's Family was suddenly sealed off, and all the members of Sun's Family or people related to them were arrested.

The forces tried to inquire about Sun's Family, but they didn't get any information. All the information about Sun's Family was blocked.

Erick Zhang also turned off his phone.

Elsa set up the birthday party in the house she got not long ago.

Richie, Mike arrived at the gate of the house.

Today was Miss Elsa's birthday, and the security guards in the house would not check the guests casually to those in exclusive clothes.

They pushed the door open and entered the room. Everyone was singing a birthday song for Alina.

Hearing the noise, everyone was stunned and looked at the two of them.

"Happy birthday, Miss Xu."
