Zhu Yilan drove Shen Jianian back to Rose Manor, and the two remained silent on the road.
Zhu Yilan wanted to ask something several times, but upon seeing Shen Jianian's ashen expression, she swallowed those words back.
When getting out of the car, Shen Jianian quietly said thank you, went inside, took the elevator upstairs, locked herself in her room, and didn't disturb anyone.
In the kitchen, the busy Zhou Rongzhen seemed to hear the door open, was unsure, came out to take a look, didn't see anyone and thought she misheard, was about to return to the kitchen when the doorbell rang.
Zhou Rongzhen wiped her hands and opened the door, and was stunned for a moment seeing the visitor: "Secretary Zhu?"
"Is Mr. Chen at home?"
"He is." Zhou Rongzhen stepped aside, allowing her to enter, "He went upstairs after dinner."
