Chapter 438: Remove the Deputy Title

Mrs. Chu immediately grasped my hand, her expression a mix of reluctance and joy. She told me she initially didn't want to go, but hearing I was bored and feeling quite a connection with me, she decided to join me.

I smiled and didn't argue. Whether she wanted to accompany me or just take the opportunity to be there, I was fully aware of her intentions, but I wouldn't expose her since I needed her help.

Just as I was about to say something, a phone call came in, and the servant asked Mrs. Chu to take the call.

She walked aside, and I had no idea what was being said on the phone, but the next second her previously somewhat smiling face gradually stiffened. Then she turned and looked at me, her eyes murky and unclear.

Her expression made my heart skip a beat, making me feel that whatever was being discussed over the phone might be related to me, otherwise she wouldn't have looked at me.
