327 My place

Meanwhile, back in Si Guanlin's estate. Inside the study room.

"Don't you think this is earlier than expected?" Xue Lihua asked as she poured the tea she prepared on Si Guanlin's cup. "Her relationship with Si Hongqi has not been deepened."

"Maybe, maybe not," he replied as he watched her fill his cup. After doing so, he took the cup and sipped from it. 

"She's a double-edged sword, Si Guanlin," she reminded.

"I know." He placed the cup back on his desk before he lifted his head to look at the woman beside him. "That's why I assigned you to her. I need you to keep an eye on her."

Xue Lihua ended up heaving a sigh. "She's still in her grieving period, it might take a while before we can fully use her."

He chuckled softly. "No, I don't think that's the case. She came here to us, asking for revenge against the person who killed her precious friend." He cast his eyes towards the woman who was leaning against the doorpost.
