She was the Xu family’s designated eldest grandson’s daughter-in-law, but after a bitter broken engagement, the mysterious Lu family’s crown prince appeared. “The Xu family doesn’t want y...
Tang Minru came to her senses and thought that perhaps she had misjudged the situation. It was not strange for people to have some similarities.
"I am Aheng's mother. Is he here?"
Xu Rubao quickly made way for her, "Hello, Auntie, Mr. Lu hasn't come back since last night."
Hearing this, Tang Minru walked in and asked, "You don't know where he went?"
"I don't know, the master didn't explain."
Lu Jingheng simply said it; there was no need for him to report his whereabouts to her, since she wasn't his girlfriend.
"Auntie, would you like something to drink? How about I make you a cup of herbal tea?"
She didn't know what kind of personality Mrs. Lu had; wealthy wives were probably all difficult to get along with.
Therefore, she tries her best to perform well and make as few mistakes as possible.
"Okay, go ahead."
Xu Rubao breathed a slight sigh of relief and went into the kitchen to make tea.
This Mrs. Lu didn't seem too difficult to get along with; upon seeing her, she didn't immediately make things difficult for her.
Compared to her grandmother at home, Mrs. Lu was much easier to get along with.
Xia Zimo sat to one side and said, "Auntie, I didn't lie to you, did I? There really is another girl here with Aheng. Can someone like her take good care of Aheng? If we need a maid, I think it would be better to pick some mature and stable ones from the old house."
Tang Minru remained silent, secretly observing the girl.
She knew her son well; over the years, no woman had ever been able to get close to him.
At first, when Zimo told her that there was another girl in his private villa, she didn't quite believe it.
Now that I've come over, I'm surprised to find that there really is a girl here.
She wanted to see what was so attractive about this girl that allowed her to enter his villa.
Xu Rubao brewed the tea and brought out two cups. "Auntie, Miss Xia, please have some tea."
Tang Minru tasted it and said it was alright. "What's your name? What are you doing at Aheng's villa?"
“Auntie, my name is Xu Rubao, a medical student at Ocean University. I… I agreed to work here as a maid to pay off a debt I owe Mr. Lu…”
Xu Rubao thought this statement was quite good; it was based on facts and didn't lie.
Xia Zimo sneered, "You owe Aheng money?"
Why did she sound so ridiculous? How much money could she possibly owe Lu Jingheng? And did Lu Jingheng even need money? Did he need an ugly girl like her working here?
Tang Minru pondered for a moment, and realized that what the girl said didn't seem like a lie.
"So you live here?"
Xu Rubao nodded. "I live upstairs."
When Xia Zimo heard that she lived upstairs, she instantly felt terrible again.
"You, a mere servant, dare to live on the second floor?"
"Ru Bao, take me upstairs to see your room."
Xu Rubao didn't know what Madam Lu was going to do, but Xia Zimo's eyes seemed to be spitting fire at her.
"Okay, Auntie, this way please."
Xu Rubao led Tang Minru upstairs. "This is Mr. Lu's room. I'll be sleeping in this room."
Xia Zimo felt incredibly envious when she saw that she lived right across from Lu Jingheng.
What gives her the right? It's infuriating the more I think about it.
"Auntie, this is the room I'm staying in temporarily."
Madam Lu and Xia Zimo went inside. When Xia Zimo saw the room, she, who had always maintained a ladylike demeanor, instantly exploded.
Her delicate face was now somewhat distorted. "You...you're sure it was Ah Heng who let you stay in this room?"
