Chapter 34 Imprisonment
After following Lu Jincheng to the villa, Ji Yao finally knew what Lu Jincheng was thinking, because she had been under house arrest since she returned to the villa.

With a little anger on his face, Ji Yao had been hungry for three days, but Lu Jincheng locked Ji Yao in the villa and told the housekeeper not to let her out except for going out to work on weekdays.

Butler Li looked at Ji Yao holding her stomach in hunger, her face as pale as a piece of paper, and couldn't help feeling sad.

"Mrs. Lu, why don't you just eat something? It's not an option to stay so hungry."

In the past few days, Ji Yao had hardly eaten anything except drinking water. At this time, she was so hungry that she almost fainted.

She knew that if she fainted from hunger, Lu Jincheng would most likely take her to the hospital so that she could escape from here.

Ji Yao bit her lower lip tightly with her teeth, almost bleeding from it.

She knew this was not a wise approach, but was there any other choice?If she hadn't been unable to get out, she would have wanted to leave here directly. After all, what she was most worried about now was her mother's condition.

I don’t know how my mother is doing in the hospital, or whether Qi Huaian took care of my mother on my behalf after she disappeared.

Ji Yao was confused when she thought of this. What made her even more confused was Lu Jincheng's attitude.

I don't know what Lu Jincheng is doing. He just locks himself here, but he doesn't force himself to do anything.

When Butler Li saw that Ji Yao was silent, he sighed and put the plain meal on the table.

The aroma of rice floated into Ji Yao's nose. Ji Yao felt that she could hardly bear it. If she had to describe it, she must be like a bad wolf, able to eat three big bowls of rice in a hurry.

Butler Li stepped aside and obeyed Lu Jincheng's orders. He always watched over Ji Yao.

He knew that Ji Yao definitely wanted to leave here, but if he really let Ji Yao leave, then he would not be able to keep this easy job.

Ji Yao leaned on the sofa, closed her eyes, and tried her best not to think about her hungry stomach.

Butler Li's voice suddenly floated into her ears.

"Mrs. Lu, this is not an option for you. I know you are thinking that Mr. Lu will take you to the hospital if you faint from hunger, but have you forgotten? There is a family doctor..."

Ji Yao suddenly opened her eyes wide because of Butler Li's words.

Yes, there is a family doctor!

As long as it is not life-threatening, she can wake up by just taking some glucose water at home. Lu Jincheng will definitely force her to eat the food. Why should she treat herself badly instead of doing this?
Thinking of this, Ji Yao gritted her teeth and chose to compromise, picked up her rice bowl and started eating.

Butler Li finally breathed a sigh of relief. In any case, being willing to eat was a big improvement, at least he wouldn't faint from hunger in the villa.

After about a week of this kind of life, Ji Yao's mobile phone was put away by Lu Jincheng, and she could not contact the outside world. She didn't know what happened to her mother.

But I calculated in my mind that my mother's medical expenses were almost exhausted. If she didn't replenish her supplies in time, I don't know if Qi Huaian could take care of her. If the treatment time was delayed because of this, I might feel guilty for the rest of my life.

She thought for a while, went to find Butler Li and borrowed his phone.

Lu Jincheng only said that he couldn't let Ji Yao, but he didn't say that he couldn't lend his phone to Ji Yao. Although there might be accidents, but seeing Ji Yao's anxious look, Butler Li agreed.

Taking her mobile phone, Ji Yao called the hospital and asked about her mother's current situation. She learned that her mother's medical expenses were almost exhausted, but they would still last for a while.

After hanging up the phone, Ji Yao was dejected and did not call Qi Huaian for help.After all, I have already troubled him a lot, not to mention that I can't bring him any benefits, so what qualifications and face do I have to ask him to help me?

After thinking for a long time, Ji Yao even stayed motionless on the sofa for several hours. Until night fell, Ji Yao did not turn on the light.

Butler Li turned on the light, but Ji Yao turned it off again.

So when Lu Jincheng returned to the villa, he saw a house exuding an icy atmosphere in darkness.

Thinking that Ji Yao had left, Lu Jincheng quickly walked to the door and opened it.

After turning on the light, she saw Ji Yao wearing a white dress sitting on a stool next to the floor-to-ceiling window. The moonlight poured down on her face. Although she had no expression, she could see a trace of sadness.

Feeling the movement at the door, Ji Yao suddenly turned her head. When she saw Lu Jincheng, there was no disgust or surprise on her face. She was still so indifferent, as if nothing could arouse the emotion in her heart.

Lu Jincheng thought Ji Yao would say something, but she just turned her head and continued to look at the moon in the sky.

Seeing that Ji Yao did not leave, Lu Jincheng's expression softened a little, he said nothing and prepared to do his own thing.

Ji Yao suddenly spoke when she heard Lu Jincheng going upstairs.

"Can you lend me some money? Just a little, I will pay you back later."

Ji Yao's voice was not loud, but it still sounded very clear in the empty villa. When it fell on Lu Jincheng's ears, it seemed to have magic power, making him stop in his tracks.

With slightly cold eyes, he glanced at where Ji Yao was sitting and sneered: "Why, you can't get money from me now, so you beg me to give you money?"

Ji Yao didn't say anything, she kept her mouth tightly closed, and didn't turn her head to look at Lu Jincheng. Lu Jincheng didn't end the conversation, but got more serious and said: "Aren't you a bastard who sleeps with money? Why didn't you ask me for money? Point of expression?"

Ji Yao suddenly froze, her hands hanging on both sides of her dress tightly squeezed.

She didn't speak anymore, and she didn't let Lu Jincheng give her any money.

She knew there was no need to say anything now. Since she was such a person in Lu Jincheng's eyes, she might as well let him continue to misunderstand her, but she still didn't bother to ask for such dirty money.

Seeing that Ji Yao didn't speak, Lu Jincheng didn't intend to stay here anymore and went up to the second floor.

The next day Ji Yao was still thinking about whether to borrow more money from Qi Huaian, but borrowing money again and again made her feel very uncomfortable. Even if Qi Huaian and she knew each other in college, she couldn't bear it. This kind of unrequited favor.

I was pacing back and forth in the villa when I heard the butler's voice.

"Why are Miss Ji here today? Now that Mr. Lu is not at home, why don't Miss Ji come back another day?"

Butler Li did not stop Ji Zimo. Ji Zimo went straight to the door and knocked.

Ji Yao frowned slightly and went to open the door. As expected, she saw Ji Zimo dressed up carefully and standing outside the door.

She looked elegant and intellectual in a long dress and white high heels.

There was exquisite makeup on her face, and it was obvious that she had been dressed carefully.
