Lin Baiwei parked the car and went to the side gate. 

She knocked a few times, and the door opened. 

It was answered by an old man of about seventy, who asked respectfully, “Are you Miss Lin?”

“Yes. I’ve talked to Uncle Zhou. We’re renting this place for half a day to take photos.” Lin Baiwei said politely.

“The young master already told me. Please, come in!”

The old man stepped out through the side gate, bent slightly at the waist, and gestured invitingly toward the inside. He was extremely respectful and courteous.

“Sorry to trouble you. Uncle Zhou often talks about you.” Lin Baiwei said with a smile.

The old man was instantly flattered. 

“I don’t deserve that. How could the young master talk about me?”

“In Uncle Zhou’s heart, you’re already family. He asked you to go abroad and live with him, but you refused.” Lin Baiwei said. 

The old man sighed. 

“If I leave, then there’ll be no one to care for this garden, and it’ll fall into ruin. This was the garden the old master loved most when he was alive. I have to look after it. Otherwise, when I die, I won’t have the face to meet him.”

He wanted to go abroad and keep the young master company too. 

So many members of the Zhou family had died or scattered, and only the young master was left, all alone, without even an heir. 

Sigh, how could such a grand Zhou family end up like this?

Lin Baiwei sighed too and stopped trying to persuade him. 

This old man had been a loyal servant of the Zhou family for years, utterly devoted and equally stubborn. There was no way he would leave this garden.

“Please come in and do your photoshoots. Don’t forget to close the gate when you leave.”

After giving that instruction, the old man returned to his little room and did not disturb them any further.

Only then did Chu Qiao understand. No wonder Lin Baiwei could get in here. 

Judging by the way she spoke, she and the Zhou family’s sole heir were probably old family friends. 

If that was the case, then Lin Baiwei’s own background definitely couldn’t be ordinary either.

Then again, the special air about Lin Baiwei, and the way she lived so freely and boldly, were not things an average family could have raised.

Near the garden there was a little room where they could change clothes. 

Lin Baiwei opened the three trunks, and Chu Qiao was startled.

One was a makeup case, filled with luxury-brand cosmetics. 

Another held more than ten exquisite qipaos, which was impressive enough. 

But what really shocked her was the third, plain-looking box. Inside were several smaller cases. 

Lin Baiwei opened one of them, revealing a full set of bright green, crystal-clear jade jewelry that shone beautifully in the sunlight.

Chu Qiao swallowed hard and asked in a low voice, “This…… is real, right?”

It couldn’t be glass, could it? 

But if it was real, then this entire jade set was worth a fortune. She didn’t dare wear it. If she broke it, she would never be able to pay for it.

“As if I would wear fake jewelry?”

Lin Baiwei rolled her eyes and casually set the box down on the table with a clunk, making Chu Qiao jump in fright and quickly steady it.

“Be careful!”

Lin Baiwei burst out laughing and teased her, “If it breaks, you don’t have to pay for it. Just look at you, what a scaredy-cat!”

“But it would be such a waste. This is worth so much.” 

Chu Qiao still felt distressed. Even if it wasn’t hers, she still felt distressed over it. It was worth an entire old Western-style mansion.

“Your Gu Ye has plenty of good things in his hands too. Back then, his maternal grandfather was a master craftsman at Zhenbao Tower in Shanghai. This set of jade jewelry is his grandfather’s work.”

Lin Baiwei picked out a black qipao and had Chu Qiao change into it. 

Once she was dressed, Lin Baiwei skillfully began putting on her makeup, chatting all the while.

“How do you know so much about my husband?”

Chu Qiao was curious. Gu Ye had never mentioned knowing Lin Baiwei.

“Among those few families in Shanghai, I know a bit about all of them..”

Lin Baiwei explained it lightly. They all belonged to the same circle. How could she not know?
