Chapter 561: Chapter 561: Disappointment Strikes Again

Based on Wu Xiaohong’s voice, Meng Jingfen was able to confirm it was him.

When Wu Xiaohong saw Meng Jingfen, his originally dim eyes instantly brightened up.

However, due to the inconvenience of speaking, he didn’t start talking right away but hesitated a long time before asking her, “Do you still have the perfume I gave you?”

Meng Jingfen nodded, “It’s still there.”

The three bottles of perfume were all expensive name brands, so she couldn’t bear to give them away to anyone.

Not even in death.

Wu Xiaohong’s eyes seemed to brighten again as he lowered his voice and said, “I hid a surprise for you inside the packaging box, you probably haven’t discovered it yet, have you?

Make sure to take a good look when you get back.”

Meng Jingfen, “…”

She carefully recalled the packaging of the perfume and felt there was nothing unusual about it. Then, remembering that she had always carried the three bottles with her, yet had only opened one, the other two remained unopened, she nodded and replied, “Yes, I’ll look when I get back.”

In fact, she could look now…

But… better not.

Wu Xiaohong then asked about Meng Jingfen’s current situation. Upon hearing she had left Imperial to return to her old home, he smiled faintly, “It’s good to go back. Well, seeing you’re doing all right, I’m relieved. You can go now.”

Meng Jingfen always felt that Wu Xiaohong was a bit inexplicable, but considering he had been sentenced to death with the execution imminent, she let go of her confusion.

After bidding farewell to Wu Xiaohong, Meng Jingfen immediately returned to the hotel, opened her purse, and took out the three bottles of perfume.

She first inspected the packaging of the bottle that had been used.

She found nothing unusual.

Then she opened the other two and quickly noticed something odd about one of them.

To her astonishment, there was a brand new key inside, along with a note bearing an address in Imperial.

The place wasn’t far from here, and filled with curiosity, Meng Jingfen immediately rushed over, only to find that the address belonged to a newly built luxury seaside apartment.

The kind that costs over ten million yuan each.

Could it be?

Meng Jingfen, thrilled, followed the address and then used the key to open the door there.

The apartment was well-decorated but unoccupied.

Soon, Meng Jingfen found a letter and some documents on the coffee table in the apartment, written by Wu Xiaohong for her.

The letter went like this.

Dear Jingfen, if you managed to find this place at once, remember not to go out for three days and nights. Otherwise, no matter what happens, don’t hate me.

Also, this apartment is now in your name, I’ve taken care of all the paperwork for you.

Live your life well and forget about me.

After reading the letter, Meng Jingfen didn’t know what to feel.

Touched? Definitely.

But deep down, she despised Wu Xiaohong and, no matter how moving his gesture, could not bring herself to love him.

However, suddenly acquiring such a wonderful apartment, she naturally didn’t want to die anymore.

She decided to lay low for two months, believing that once the buzz had died down, she would be able to live peacefully.

What she hadn’t expected was that there were more surprises to come.

When she opened the refrigerator, she found several drawers filled with gold and jewels.

This wealthy?

Meng Jingfen was stunned.

Shen Ci and Meng Chuyue were also stunned by this scene.

Having heard that Wu Xiaohong wanted to meet Meng Jingfen, they had Erhu keep an eye on the situation.

So they were aware of all the surprises Wu Xiaohong had arranged for Meng Jingfen.

Before finding the gold and jewels, they were in a quandary: to report the incident to the police or not?

Although Wu Xiaohong’s money was ill-gotten, he had given his lover an apartment he bought… even though that person was Meng Jingfen…

They had been somewhat hesitant.

But once they saw the gold and jewels, they were no longer in a dilemma.

The apartment was bought by Wu Xiaohong, and there was no evidence to prove it was bought with dirty money, but those gold and jewels were definitely stolen property.

They had no choice but to report it.

They immediately reported the incident to the police.

The seaside apartment and the gold and jewels… before Meng Jingfen had time to enjoy them, they were confiscated.
