"Just try to persuade him." Jiang Liwen shoved the necklace into Su Qingnuan's hand. "I'm going downstairs now to get Shen Lin'an to come up. The rest is up to you."
Su Qingnuan looked at the necklace in her hand, her expression full of implication, and nodded.
"Alright."
"Thud—"
The door closed as Jiang Liwen left the room.
Su Qingnuan listened to the sound of footsteps fading, then slowly walked to the door and opened it.
Watching Jiang Liwen's figure disappear down the corridor, Su Qingnuan slipped out of her room and quickly ducked into the guest room next door.
Hidden in the guest room, she pulled out her phone.
Their last conversation still lingered on her chat app with Shen Lin'an. Su Qingnuan typed deliberately, then sent him a message.
No response came to the message, but footsteps soon echoed down the hallway.
"Hurry, hurry! Auntie has something to tell you." Jiang Liwen's impatient voice sounded from outside.
