Chapter 37: The Forbidden Land (1)
"Did you see a friend in Ljubrino?"
Yao Jingjing, who had closed her eyes, opened her eyes instantly, and she immediately realized one thing, someone reported her whereabouts to Sergei. Who is this person? Is it Natasha or two bodyguards?
"Well, I met a friend."
"Is it a male friend?"
Sergei's question further verified Yao Jingjing's guess, and someone did report her whereabouts to Sergei, or that it was originally instructed by Sergei.
"Yes."
"What's his name?"
"It's called Tan Lin."
"How did you meet?"
"The last time I traveled to Russia alone, he sat next to me on the plane."
"You're friends just like that?" Sergei's tone revealed a hint of anger and faint vinegar.
Sergei's words made Yao Jingjing uncomfortable, she frowned, and said, "I met him again in Liubrino later, and then we ate hot pot together." After all, they are all Chinese, and there is a sense of intimacy when they meet. ”
Intimacy? These words made Sergei's heart even more jealous, but he still restrained his anger and persuaded: "Lilia, you married me, since the day you married me, you and him have been different. ”
"Different? What's the difference? ”
"You and he are not of the same class anymore, you have entered high society."
High society? It seems to be so, but Yao Jingjing doesn't think so in her heart, she still feels that she is a low-level person, and she always has a sense of unreality about the so-called upper class.
"Lilia, people from different walks of life should not come and go, don't go to see this person again in the future, I don't like this person either."
Yao Jingjing didn't reply, and a trace of dissatisfaction flashed in her eyes. Obviously, Tan Lin didn't offend Sergei, why did Sergei say that!
Seeing that Yao Jingjing didn't speak, Sergei's hand holding Yao Jingjing's shoulder couldn't help but tighten, and said stiffly: "Promise me, don't see him again." ”
This is not a consultation, it is clearly an order! Sergei's tone was filled with a sense of oppression, not allowing to be questioned and rejected.
Yao Jingjing looked reluctant and whispered, "I know." ”
In the middle of the night, the dark room echoed with an even snoring sound, Sergei had already fallen asleep, and Yao Jingjing on the side did not have such a good sleep. She looked at the little white moonlight shining through the curtains, and sighed secretly, thinking that the relationship between the two of them had gone further in the past few months with Sergei, but it didn't seem to be the case. During these days, her spirit was a little slack, and she almost forgot one thing, that is, in Sergei's heart, she has always been a stand-in, a commodity, an object, even if Sergei treats her well, it is because she looks like Sergei's deceased wife.
Yao Jingjing, don't be careless, don't forget your identity and put yourself in the right position. Don't get carried away just because someone takes you on a trip.
Before you know it, autumn in Russia has entered the autumn in Moscow, which can be said to be shrouded in red, with red maple leaves and golden birch trees on both sides of the city's roads, and the color of the whole city seems to have been embellished with a brush, just like an oil painting. However, autumn in Russia is short, and it is mostly rainy and frustrating.
Probably not adapted to the unpredictable weather in Moscow, Yao Jingjing caught a cold. This morning, bored, she paced around the villa wearing a woolen shawl. Originally, she wanted to go to the farm and ride a horse, but unfortunately it was not beautiful, it was raining again, and she did not want to stay in her bedroom all day, so she simply wandered around this large palace-like house.
The villa has three floors, the first floor is the guest room, the second floor is the master bedroom and study, and the third floor is the maid's room. Yao Jingjing spends most of her time on the second floor, but today she suddenly wanted to go to the third floor on a whim. A whole row of rooms on the entire floor were closed, this was the servant's room, of course Yao Jingjing was not going to go in to visit, she walked from east to west, and before she knew it, she came to the end. At this time, a locked room in the westernmost part attracted Yao Jingjing's attention.
Yao Jingjing stood still in front of the door, staring at the lock that had already rusted, and suddenly wondered, why is this room still locked? And the lock looks old. What's in this room? Yao Jingjing's heart became more and more curious.
At noon, the housekeeper Vera walked into Yao Jingjing's master bedroom with food.
"Madame, your lunch." Vera put the food on the table and turned to leave, but was stopped by Yao Jingjing.
"Wait a minute."
"Madame, do you have any other orders?"
"Well, that, I went around the third floor today and found that the westernmost room was locked, what was in that room?" Yao Jingjing concluded that Vera, as the housekeeper of the villa, must know about that room.
Vera raised her eyebrows and asked rhetorically, "Madam, where did you go?" ”
"No, it's not locked! I can't get in either. I'm just curious why it's locked, and that lock is rusty. ”
A hint of cunning flashed in Vera's eyes without a trace, and she said, "That room is the forbidden place of this villa, I mentioned it to you before. ”
Forbidden? Yao Jingjing thought about it carefully and nodded: "I forgot, you told me." Why is that room a forbidden place? ”
"It's the boss's rule, he doesn't allow anyone else to enter the room without permission, but I go in and clean it myself every week."
The curiosity in Yao Jingjing's heart intensified a little, and she even wanted to go into that room to find out.
Seeing Yao Jingjing's puzzled and longing expression, Vera's face showed a smile that seemed to be not a smile, but she quickly regained her composure.
"What's in that room?"
"I'm sorry, ma'am, but I can't talk about that."
Yao Jingjing paused and continued to ask, "Does Sergei often go to that room?" ”
"Occasionally."
It seems that there must be something special in this room, could it be?
"The room was locked, but the lock was decades old, and it wasn't easy to use, and it could be opened without a key. Anyway, there is nothing valuable in it, so I don't bother to change the lock. ”
Yao Jingjing was stunned, and the flame of curiosity in her heart had been completely ignited.
"I see, you can go out and get busy."
After Vera left, Yao Jingjing wondered what was in that room and why it became a forbidden place. She really wanted to go in and have a look. But Yao Jingjing is not stupid, Vera deliberately revealed that the door lock does not use a key, what is the purpose? Isn't that just seducing her!
Yao Jingjing knew that Vera was trapping her, and wished she had walked into that forbidden place, but once Sergei knew about it, she didn't know what would happen.
