Chapter 970 - Miss Goodman (2)

"Just think of it as a friend being concerned about you," Lucy said.
"Then thank you for your concern," Zhai Yunsheng responded politely.
Upon hearing this response, Lucy smiled a little. Then, she turned her head to look at Jian Yiling who was standing beside Zhai Yunsheng.
Ever since she entered the room, Jian Yiling had been silent. She did not say a single word. In addition, other than looking at Lucy for a few moments, she had been fiddling with her mobile phone.
It was as though she did not care much about Zhai Yunsheng and Lucy's conversation.
"I believe this must be Master Sheng's fiancee, Miss Jian Yiling right?"
When she heard someone mention her name, Jian Yiling raised her head. She saw Lucy scrutinizing her.
"Mhmm," Jian Yiling replied.
"Miss Jian Yiling is very good-looking," Lucy complimented.
"Thank you," Jian Yiling replied politely.
"I've heard that in this incident, you've got caught in the middle of the storm. If you don't mind, I can help you settle some things. I can ensure that you're no longer treated as a suspect," Lucy said.
"No thank you."
Jian Yiling's reaction was even more indifferent than Zhai Yunsheng's.
Her face was calm and her eyes were clear. She did not seem to be worried that she was currently considered a suspect.
Lucy took out a business card and placed it in front of Jian Yiling: "Well, if you need my help, remember to contact me. I've been friends with Master Sheng for many years. His business is my business."
Jian Yiling's eyes fell on Lucy's hand.
Lucy was currently wearing a ring. However, the ring was not embedded with diamonds or other gemstones. Instead, the ring was made out of black and yellow metal. There was also a pattern engraved on the surface of the ring.
Lucy noticed Jian Yiling's eyes being fixated on the ring. She asked: "Miss Jian Yiling, what are you looking at?"
"Nothing," Jian Yiling replied as she quickly withdrew her gaze.
Then, Lucy glanced at the ring on her hand. She paused for a moment before she asked: "Miss Jian Yiling, were you looking at this ring? This is our family's ring. Only official members of the Goodman family are allowed to wear it."
Upon receiving this answer, Jian Yiling merely nodded her head slightly.
As Zhai Yunsheng had little patience for Lucy, he said to her: "If you don't have any other business, then my fiancee and I will get back to doing work."
Then, Zhai Yunsheng got up and pulled Jian Yiling to leave with him. He left his secretary to deal with Lucy.
Lucy smiled as she watched Zhai Yunsheng and Jian Yiling leave.
After the two left, Lucy did not remain in the building any longer. She left the building with her subordinates.
On the way back, she received a call from her father.
"Lucy, did you go and meet the Young Master of the Zhai family?"
"Yes."
"Don't do anything that will affect our plans. This plan is incredibly important to me. If something goes wrong, the elders of the Goodman family will no longer trust me. I could lose the right of inheritance."
"Father, you don't need to worry. I won't ruin your plans."
"That's good. You need to be well-behaved. Our position in the Goodman family relies on this operation. It's very important to us."
"I understand."
The Goodman family was a very old and large family.
However, not every member of the Goodman family had the right of inheritance. Those who were judged and deemed by the family elders as incapable were marginalized.. Then, when the new head of the family was decided, they would be driven out of the family entirely.
