Chapter 159: Twisted Logic

Afterwards, Yu Ze suddenly remembered something else and continued, "By the way, Miss Ruan, my personal assistant will also stay behind to help look after the shop this time. If you need anything normally, just feel free to tell him to do it."

Ruan Mianmian was somewhat pleasantly surprised. "There's an assistant too? Won't our job be very relaxing then?"

Yu Ze smiled and said, "Actually, there wasn't much to be busy with in the first place. Also, this is the key to the gallery's main entrance. The keys to the other rooms are clearly labeled as well. If you need them later, just take them directly."

"Alright, don't worry."

Ruan Mianmian took the keys from Yu Ze's hand.

Then, Yu Ze led Ruan Mianmian to the room in the very corner of the gallery and said, "This is the lounge. It's fully stocked with teas and snacks. When you have nothing to do at noon, you can also rest here."

As expected of a gallery opened by a rich person, it really had everything.

Ruan Mianmian smiled and nodded, replying, "Alright, I understand."

"It's the weekend in two days. Miss Ruan, you can rest for two days first, and then come to work next Monday. I'll temporarily entrust this gallery to Miss Ruan."

Upon hearing that she could still rest for another two days, Ruan Mianmian was instantly overjoyed and nodded, saying, "Since that's the case, I won't stand on ceremony. I also wish Mr. Yu a smooth journey."

"Great, great, thank you so much."

Yu Ze waved his hand politely.

After Ruan Mianmian came out of the gallery, Jiang Ce, who had been silent all along, suddenly revealed an obscure and difficult-to-read look. His gaze repeatedly glanced back at the gallery behind them several times.

"What are you looking at?"

Ruan Mianmian looked at Jiang Ce and asked.

Jiang Ce withdrew his gaze and smiled, "Nothing, just used to keeping an eye on the people who come into contact with you."

A sweet sensation surged in Ruan Mianmian's heart, and she continued, "You don't need to worry so much. There are still many good people in this world."

"Your statement is too generalized. Good people aren't good people all the time. They can only be called good people when they are doing good deeds; the rest of the time, they are just ordinary people who are neither good nor bad."

Jiang Ce's eyes were deep as he spoke to Ruan Mianmian.

"Tch! Such specious reasoning."

Ruan Mianmian couldn't be bothered to argue and got back into the car with Jiang Ce.

Once inside the car, while starting the engine, Jiang Ce said to Ruan Mianmian, "When you come to work, you should still let Akuan follow you to prevent anything from happening."

Ruan Mianmian looked at Jiang Ce and smiled, "Fine, fine, fine. Although I don't mind, since you're so uneasy, I'll just take him along."

Back at home, Dr. Zhang, who had come to examine Fang Xiaoyan, was already sitting in the downstairs lobby.

When Ruan Mianmian saw him, she was somewhat surprised.

It seemed that in order not to alert the enemy, Jiang Ce had indeed done many things on the sly.

Dr. Zhang and Fang Xiaoyan were sitting facing each other. His tone was like coaxing a small child as he inquired about Fang Xiaoyan's condition in all aspects over the past two days.

Apart from looking somewhat timid, Fang Xiaoyan seemed to have no problems at all when it came to communication and conversation.

What's more, this time Fang Xiaoyan even forgot to bring along the shovel that she usually refused to let go of.

Ruan Mianmian stood at a slightly distant distance, silently observing this Fang Xiaoyan.

Her eyes did not dare to look directly at Dr. Zhang, so her head remained lowered the entire time, making her look cowering and timid.

Her two hands were folded together, fingertips intertwined, looking extremely nervous at first glance.

"Alright, let's leave it at that for today. I'll come to check again next month."

Dr. Zhang stood up from the sofa. Fang Xiaoyan had originally breathed a slight sigh of relief, but unexpectedly, as soon as Dr. Zhang finished speaking, she abruptly raised her head.

Her eyes were filled with rejection.

Perhaps noticing that everyone was paying attention to her, Fang Xiaoyan quickly lowered her head again.

"Little Jiang Brother, I'm not sick. I've been very good lately, why do I still need to see a doctor?"

Fang Xiaoyan kept her head down, wearing a aggrieved expression as she asked Jiang Ce.

Jiang Ce's expression was cold as he stated bluntly, "It's fine, Dr. Zhang is just asking casually."

Fang Xiaoyan raised her head slightly to look at Jiang Ce, her tone carrying a hint of entreaty.

"Then can I stop taking the medicine? The medicine gives me a headache, makes me uncomfortable, and makes me want to vomit. I don't want to take the medicine."

"How can you get better without taking medicine?"

Jiang Ce patiently continued, "Dr. Zhang is an expert in psychiatry. Rest assured, he will definitely cure you."

Fang Xiaoyan blinked her innocent eyes and emphasized again, "But I'm really not sick! I'm very good! Really very good!"

"Yes, you are very good, but the medicine still has to be taken."

After saying that, Jiang Ce looked at Dr. Zhang and said, "Her medicine should be running out soon. Could I trouble Dr. Zhang to bring some more over?"

"As it happens, I brought some this time. I remember everything regarding Master Jiang's matters."

With that, Dr. Zhang pulled several jars and bottles out of his medical kit and placed them on the table.

"I'll see Dr. Zhang off."

With that, Jiang Ce led Dr. Zhang toward the door.

Meanwhile, Fang Xiaoyan stared anxiously at the medicine bottle on the table, her gaze sharp enough to shoot daggers.

Ruan Mianmian stood in the distance, silently withdrawing her gaze, and then turned to walk upstairs.

She sat down on the bedroom sofa, feeling rather bored, and took out her phone to reply to the messages on it.

Zhong Yu knew that Ruan Mianmian had gone to look at the gallery and had even specifically asked about it.

Ruan Mianmian had already finalized things with Yu Ze, so she told Zhong Yu about it and took the opportunity to express her gratitude.

At this moment, a knock suddenly sounded outside the door.

It shouldn't be Jiang Ce; this guy wouldn't bother knocking before entering anymore.

Ruan Mianmian got up to open the door and saw Akuan standing sneakily outside alone, holding a laptop in his hands.

Ruan Mianmian asked, "What are you up to?"

Akuan slipped sideways into the room, then held the laptop and looked at Ruan Mianmian, saying, "I'm going to show you something."

"What is it? So secretive."

Ruan Mianmian walked over closely behind him.

Akuan's complexion looked somewhat poor. He fiddled with the laptop and then turned the screen toward Ruan Mianmian.

Ruan Mianmian lowered her head to take a closer look. It was a surveillance video, and it was facing her bedroom door directly.

The time displayed on it was ten o'clock in the morning. Fang Xiaoyan came out of her own room and then sneaked stealthily into Ruan Mianmian's room.

Fang Xiaoyan stayed inside for about ten minutes before walking out.

Ruan Mianmian's gaze froze on the figure of Fang Xiaoyan sneaking out of her room, and she then asked, "What did she sneak into my room to do?"

"I don't know."

Akuan continued right after, "Actually, she went in yesterday too, and didn't even spare the Boss's room, but for some reason, she entered your room alone today."

"Judging by her appearance, it shouldn't be to steal things, and her hands were empty. So what on earth did she do during those ten-plus minutes?"
