Never Expected to Return Here

Nearly an hour has passed since the stately team of doctors made their rounds in the ward, as well as the entire observation unit.

"It's finally time to get off work!" Guan Xiaodong said emotionally.

Jiang Tingxu nodded and empathized with him.

"Let's go."

When they passed by the nurses' station, Jiang Tingxu silently gestured to Qiao Ran—who was still handing over her duties to the next shift—before leaving.

...

Many taxis were parked at the hospital entrance and almost all of them were bringing patients over.

Jiang Tingxu hailed one and got into the car.

"Sir, Violet Imperial Hill please."

Once the driver heard Violet Imperial Hill, he took a look in the rearview mirror and asked, "What's a girl like you doing in Violet Imperial Hill? That's not a place you can go willy-nilly."

"Oh, I'm going to find a friend. I've already contacted them in advance."

The driver seemed to have relaxed considerably after confirming that Jiang Tingxu was not the owner of Violet Imperial Hill, so he started to chat with her.

"Miss, your friend must have quite a high status to live in Violet Imperial Hill! Sigh, ordinary people like us can only look at the shadows on the mountain from a distance. We never have a chance to see what it looks like from inside. I heard that the scenery of Violet Imperial Hill is extremely beautiful. Such a pity! "

Jiang Tingxu never really noticed that.

"Can't you go in to have a look?"

The taxi driver snorted.

"It would be great if we could go in, but unfortunately, we can only send our guests to the foot of the mountain and we can't go in any further. All we can do is look at the shadow on the mountain from a distance. Have you been there before, Miss?"

'I have. And I've even lived there for many years. But it doesn't hold any special feelings for me.

'But I can't say that.'

"I haven't. This is my first time."

The taxi driver spoke a lot and practically never stopped talking. As the listener, Jiang Tingxu played her role quite effectively, even answering him from time to time.

Finally, they reached after 40 minutes.

"Look, Miss. This is as far as I can go. The security guards have gestured to me."

Jiang Tingxu paid for the ride.

"Thank you, Sir."

She got off after that.

However, Jiang Tingxu entered only after the taxi left.

There were more than 10 villas on Violet Imperial Hill. The management remembered the faces of all the owners in their minds, in addition to the security guards at the door.

Several security guards suddenly saluted Jiang Tingxu after seeing her approaching.

"Good morning."

"Good morning, Ms. Jiang. Do you need us to send you up by car?"

"Ah, there's no need for that. I can go by myself."

Sure enough, that was—without a doubt—the legendary Violet Imperial Hill!

...

After ten minutes of walking up, she finally reached the villa.

As she stood outside the villa gate, Jiang Tingxu felt a little stunned when she looked at the building. It was slowly coming back to her memory.

True enough, she did not expect to come back to that place again.

Even so, she really did not plan to live there anymore.

The butler must have seen her through the security system because the door of the villa was manually opened.

Jiang Tingxu was still caught in her memories when she snapped back to her senses. She lowered her head and let out a few breaths before walking in.

The little guy was eating breakfast in the dining hall when several servants were waiting on him.

"Little Master, these crystal dumplings were wrapped just this morning. It contains your favorite crab roe, which is very fresh."

"Is it delicious?"

"Mm, it is."

"Then gimme one... Huh, Jiang Tingxu?" The little guy had sharp eyes, but points for obedience were deducted because of how she addressed her.

Jiang Tingxu frowned slightly. "Why are you here?"
