He appeared to be from a privileged background.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside the young man were two other men; one was tall and thin, the other was stocky with a buzz cut .\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tall, thin man nodded at his words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m sure. After he left LaTuie yesterday, he did not go back to the Lu family mansion but came here instead. He still hasn’t shown himself, so I’m sure he’s still inside!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The handsome young man glanced at the manor, as if hesitating slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t think… it’s appropriate for us to do this. I think we should just go.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to turn around, but the stocky man with the buzz cut held him back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come on, Jing! We’re already here, what are you afraid of? Have you forgotten what you said before we came here?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man, Jing, looked conflicted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But I still think…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I heard he had a few drinks yesterday and he’s living alone here. Think about it, Jing! If you miss this opportunity, you won’t get it again! I know you will regret it if you walk away now, and we won’t do this with you anymore!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stocky man with the buzz cut took a pack of cigarettes out and put one in his mouth before handing his friends one each.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing shook his head, but the tall and thin one took one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He’s right, you know. If you think you are not up for it, then we’ll go back, but this will be it. There won’t be a next time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The buffed man scoffed. “He hasn’t come back to Jingcheng for a long time. You are not the only one who misses him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The words boosted Jing’s confidence and he finally made up his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay, let’s do it then.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three men then walked inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Are they here for Lu Huaiyu? They didn’t look friendly and they seemed tipsy, or drunk…’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before she could head over, her phone rang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Xu Yin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She walked to the side and answered her phone. “Hello, Mr. Xu?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lili! You booked the lab for tomorrow, right?” Xu Yin’s voice was as kind as always.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li nodded. “Yeah.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll be tagging along.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surprised, Ning Li answered, “Sure.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li discussed the lab appointment that had been planned for tomorrow with Xu Yin through the phone before hanging up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she turned around, the three men had already gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thought of Lu Huaiyu’s voice last night and the reply that she had gotten earlier made her worry, so she quickly entered the residential manor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Located in the best location in the city, those who lived in Rongyue Manor had to be either rich or influential due to the pricing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, that meant that the security in the area also had to be top-notch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li was stopped at the entrance by the security guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who are you looking for?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lu Huaiyu,” Ning Li said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The security sized her up with a sceptical gaze before a sudden realization hit him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Was this another one of the Second Master’s fangirls? Hmph, she was definitely not the first one.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many people knew Lu Huaiyu owned a unit in Rongyue Manor. Often, his fangirls would wait for him in front of the gate or even try to sneak into the manor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, during the past year that he had been away, his fangirls had rarely shown up. That had lessened the burden on the security guards greatly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The security guard had not expected that one of the Second Master’s fangirls would make an appearance on the very first day that he had come back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The security guard thought, ‘She’s definitely young and beautiful, but how dare she come here to disturb the Second Master?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He waved his hand and said, “Go home, girl. The Second Master dislikes people that he doesn’t know, coming directly to his door.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surprised, Ning Li said after a pause, “I’m not just another fangirl, I know him personally.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The security guard sized her up from top to bottom before laughing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl’s face was unfamiliar. At least, the security guard had never seen her before. However, judging from her look, she was not from a wealthy background either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You know him? But, does he know you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li was speechless. “But, I just saw several men go in just now!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The security scoffed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The young master from the Chen family? His uncle lives here. Of course he can go in.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How about this? You give him a call and if he vouches for you, we’ll let you in.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li nodded and called Lu Huaiyu, but no one answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was slightly stunned. He had just replied to her message a moment earlier, but now he could not be reached?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As though he already knew this would happen, the security waved his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ok, that’s it, girl. You should leave now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Maybe he didn’t pick up because he’s unwell…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re a persistent one, I see.” The security guard scoffed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How about this? If you say you know him, show me proof, a picture or whatever.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was obvious that the security guard wanted to make things difficult for Ning Li.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu disliked taking pictures. Even the newspaper could barely get a proper picture of him in their headlines, let alone any private pictures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Proof…’ Ning Li pursed her lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the security guard was about to turn away, she said, “I know his address.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surprised, the security guard turned back towards her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li clenched her fists slightly and said, “Building 6, 33rd floor.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The security guard’s jaw dropped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Normal fangirls could not possibly know the exact address of his unit. Who was this girl?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After settling her registration, Ning Li managed to get in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time of the day, not many people were walking around the neighbourhood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She followed the route that she remembered, as the disbelieving voice of the security guard echoed in her ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You really know it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course she knew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The further she walked, chaotic images started to appear in her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The last time she had come, Lu Huaiyu had carried her in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had been on the brink of death that day, and she had felt so dizzy. She had barely been able to stay conscious, hence the blurry memories.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only thing she remembered was his heartbeat in her ears, beating strongly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had also felt the grip of his hand around her waist, strongly holding her up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lu Huaiyu.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A slightly tipsy and arrogant voice could be heard from around the corner.\u003C\u002Fp>",1129,"2026-05-30T09:09:42.757Z","2026-06-01T04:30:51.172Z",1,"novelbin.me","ef31e69386f3ae27e202f071a0563974f5e50d7185c2d2447b3aef8d53c66a1d","the-little-brat-s-sweet-and-sassy-chapter-309","the-little-brat-s-sweet-and-sassy-chapter-307",1251,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-little-brat-s-sweet-and-sassy-cover.jpg"]
