When she finally felt her breathing clear up, Yan Ye had already left for a while.
The next day was calm and sunny, with brilliant sunshine.
She slept until she woke up naturally, stretched lazily upon waking, and suddenly remembered something.
Starting today, Yan Ye would be away on a business trip for half a month!
Oh yeah!
At last, she wouldn’t have to be monitored like a slave by him!
This was probably the only good news in the past few days.
Lian Xinying quickly washed up and went downstairs, directly asking the maid, “Auntie, has Yan Ye left?”
“Mhm.”
“Did he say anything before he left?” Lian Xinying’s eyes held a probing look.
She was really worried that Yan Ye would instruct the servants to manage her or impose some restrictions.
The maid shook her head, “Young Master Yan didn’t say anything to me; you should ask the Steward.”
In this villa, there were many maids, so there was a steward.
Lian Xinying was closer to the maids who cooked.
The Steward was a man in his forties, exuding an authoritative presence without showing anger.
That’s why Lian Xinying did not like to approach him.
“Uncle, did Yan Ye leave any instructions before he left?” Lian Xinying found the Steward in the backyard and asked.
“Uh, he told me to manage the house well.
What’s up?
Do you need something?” The Steward’s shrewd eyes scanned Lian Xinying.
Lian Xinying quickly shook her head and walked away.
It seemed that Yan Ye hadn’t ordered the staff to supervise her particularly.
This way, she had much more freedom.
As long as Yan Ye was not around, she could ignore what anyone else said.
During breakfast, Lian Xinying’s brain was working overtime, thinking about how to earn tuition in half a month.
This issue, even for ordinary people who had already stepped into society, was difficult, let alone for her.
The only thing Lian Xinying could use right now was her connections.
If her father hadn’t gotten into trouble, using her connections to make money would have been a matter of minutes.
Now, she had to come up with a detailed plan.
After finishing breakfast, Lian Xinying had a preliminary plan in mind.
With Yan Ye not at home, she could make use of him; after all, he was the one who presented the problem!
There’s a saying, “The wool comes from the sheep,” hehe!
He’s so rich, anything on him is valuable; as long as she could get her hands on his stuff and sell it to someone else, she could get the money.
After going upstairs, Lian Xinying sneaked into Yan Ye’s bedroom.
His bedroom was spacious and clean.
Lian Xinying had no interest in taking in her surroundings and headed straight to the nightstand to rummage through his drawers.
Lian Xinying was wary of Yan Ye, so she couldn’t possibly take his valuables to sell, as it would be easily discovered by him.
What she was looking for was something that Yan Ye wouldn’t notice if missed.
Like…
Lian Xinying became fixated on the cigarettes on his nightstand, lost in thought.
Although Lian Xinying didn’t smoke, she knew that some cigarette brands were very expensive.
And even the most expensive cigarettes, being consumables, wouldn’t likely be something Yan Ye cared much about.
With that in mind, Lian Xinying started looking for his stash.
Generally, wealthy people would stock up on things they often used, keeping plenty at home.
