Chapter 201 Was she...standing up for him? [5]

Zhang Rui stood in the center of the living room, feeling uneasy, yet constantly trying to reassure herself.

Ah Chu came downstairs.

"Young Miss".

"Young Miss".

The servants greeted him respectfully.

Ah Chu went straight to the living room sofa and sat down, looking at the maid next to the butler, Uncle Lin.

He's very young, probably only around twenty-two or twenty-three years old.

She has delicate features and looks clean and tidy.

This is also a condition for the Jiang family to select servants; they cannot be ugly.

"You're Zhang Rui?" A Chu leaned back on the sofa, casually holding a cushion in her arms.

She had long, slightly wavy hair that was loose, and she was wearing a white, court-style nightgown. She sat on the sofa and looked docile and harmless.

Zhang Rui has been working for the Jiang family for a year now. She knows the young lady's character perfectly well, but she is still deceived by her appearance.

Seeing such a young lady, she subconsciously relaxed.

Zhang Rui nodded: "Yes, Miss, I am Zhang Rui."

Ah Chu scoffed, "You're mistaken. You're the young lady."

"Otherwise, why would you order Jiang Qi to send me dessert in my name?"

Zhang Rui's legs went weak, and she almost knelt down.

Her face drained of color, and her eyes widened in panic: "No...no, Miss...don't listen to Young Master Jiang Qi's nonsense. It was Young Master Jiang Qi who ran into me and heard that I was going to bring you dessert. He insisted on taking it and delivering it to you!"

Achu raised an eyebrow: "Oh? Is that so?"

Zhang Rui nodded repeatedly, and just as she was about to say yes, a dessert bowl hit her shoulder.

Zhang Rui screamed in pain as she touched the glass dessert bowl.

A Chu's smile vanished, and she looked coldly at Zhang Rui: "You frame people so naturally, it seems you've been bullying your employer behind their backs quite a bit!"

"Housekeeper, kick her out, and also tell the housekeeping company what she did to deserve being fired."

Zhang Rui was completely oblivious to the pain in her shoulder at that moment and actually knelt down.

The job of a maid may not sound appealing, but the pay is actually quite high.

If she loses her reputation in the industry, she can no longer do this job!

"Miss, I was wrong! I know I was wrong! Please give me another chance! I'll never do it again!"

Zhang Rui cried and begged A Chu, saying that her seriously ill mother needed her salary for treatment.

Seeing her tears streaming down her face, Achu seemed to soften.

"Okay, tell me what you've done before, and I'll consider it."

Zhang Rui believed it and quickly began to recount the story.

For example, having Jiang Qi wash Jiang Chaochao's underwear.

She told Jiang Qi that Jiang Chaochao had ordered him to wash, and then let Jiang Chaochao witness the scene.

Jiang Chaochao already despised and loathed Jiang Qi. When she saw her underwear in his hands, she cursed Jiang Qi as a pervert and scalded his hands with boiling water.

besides……

Ah Chu then realized that Zhang Rui had been behind many of the things the original owner had done against Jiang Qi over the past year.

Jiang Qi, standing to the side, looked at Zhang Rui with surprise and anger.

He remembered that Zhang Rui was very welcoming to him when she first arrived.

She would often stuff food into his mouth, speak ill of Jiang Chaochao to him, and then comfort him.

At first, Jiang Qi treated her as a friend.

One night, Zhang Rui knocked on his door and said she wanted to sleep with him.

Jiang Qi naturally refused, as men and women should not touch each other.

As a result, Zhang Rui actually squeezed into the room, hugged his neck and tried to kiss him, saying that she liked him and wanted to date him.

Jiang Qi was startled and quickly pushed her away, kicking her out.

After that, Zhang Rui seemed like a completely different person.

They said many hurtful things to him, saying he wasn't even as good as a dog kept by the Jiang family.

Jiang Qi never expected that Zhang Rui would do these things!

After listening to Zhang Rui's words, A Chu looked at the butler, Uncle Lin.

"Uncle Lin, have you written down all the things she did?"

Butler Lin quickly replied, "Miss, I've noted it down."

Achu nodded: "Okay, remember to tell the housekeeping company all of this."

Butler Lin: "Yes, Miss."

Zhang Rui froze, then looked at A Chu in disbelief: "Miss! Didn't you say you wouldn't blame me if I told you?"

Achu tilted her head, looking innocent and carefree: "What I meant was, you said it, I'll think about it."

"Now, I've made up my mind!"

“The Jiang family doesn’t need a servant like you who persecutes their employer, and I can’t let someone like you go and cause trouble in other people’s homes.”

Zhang Rui got angry and lunged at A Chu to hit him.

The bodyguards standing nearby immediately grabbed her, not even able to touch a hair on Ah Chu's head.

Ah Chu leaned back on the sofa and waved her hand: "Take him away."

The bodyguards dragged Zhang Rui away.

Because Zhang Rui was so angry that she cursed and even covered her mouth.

Ah Chu looked at the other servants in the living room and slowly said, "Jiang Qi, even if he is a dog of the Jiang family, he still has the surname Jiang."

"The only person who can bully him is me."

"If I find out there's another Zhang Rui... you know what will happen."

The servants quickly said they dared not.

The servants who had previously bullied Jiang Qi were now living in fear, terrified that A Chu would find out.

They thought they would never dare to bully Jiang Qi again.

Jiang Qi looked at A Chu, his expression unreadable.

Was she... standing up for him?

Why?

Jiang Qi was puzzled.

Ah Chu ignored him, looking at the desserts on the carpet with great regret.

Hearing what Zhang Rui said, and thinking about how the original owner had hurt Jiang Qi because of those things, I was so angry that I couldn't help but take action.

I haven't even had two bites of this dessert yet!

Achu: "Have the kitchen prepare another dessert for me and bring it upstairs."

After saying that, she threw the cushion onto the sofa, got up, and left.

Achu returned to the third floor, while Jiang Qi went back to his own room.

Soon, a maid carefully served Ah Chu dessert.

Ah Chu was completely satisfied after finishing her dessert.

Before going to bed that night, Achu checked Jiang Qi's favorability rating.

Then I discovered that my favorability rating had actually increased a bit!

From -30 to -25!

Although it's still a negative number, at least there's been an increase.

Not bad, not bad!

Achu pulled the blanket up and fell asleep contentedly.

Late at night, the Jiang family villa was completely silent.

The door to the third-floor bedroom was pushed open from the outside, and a dark figure stood there.

"Tick-tock" "Tick-tock" "Tick-tock"

Water dripped continuously onto the ground, quickly forming a puddle.

The figure in black stood at the door for a while, then left silently.

Achu felt a little cold and wrapped herself tightly in the blanket.

She had a nightmare in her sleep.

I dreamt that I fell into the water.

Even though I can swim, I just can't float.

Looking down, she realized that her ankles were tangled in seaweed.

Achu struggled for a very, very long time.

When she struggled to wake up, it was already daylight.

Achu sat up in bed, breathing heavily, and touched her ankle.

The feeling of being entangled in water plants and the feeling of being submerged in water are so realistic.

After resting in bed for a while, Achu finally got up.

Today is Sunday, and Achu stayed at home all day.

Piano, painting, and dance teachers come to your home to teach.

Achu didn't see Jiang Qi all day.
