Chapter 183 Too High
After leaving, she stood outside the house with a complicated expression, but her heart was burning like a raging fire.
Faintly, she heard the sound of an argument coming from inside the house.
She held her breath, only to hear Gao Xilin shouting angrily, "I don't agree! You can't do this to her!"
Before he could finish his words, there was a sharp and crisp slapping sound - as if someone had slapped someone hard in the face.
Then, Tang Yuzhu's voice was heard again, with suppressed anger and warning, she growled: "Do you want us mother and son to turn against each other? Have you thought about the consequences?"
The conversation after that became low-pitched and Shen Yan couldn’t hear clearly.
Finally, she was pushed out of the yard by several people who looked like servants.
The yard was in a mess and the smell of gunpowder still lingered in the air.
The floor of the room was littered with broken glass, shattered vases, spilled tea and fruit, making it look chaotic and disorganized.
The servants came in one after another, lowered their heads and cleaned and tidied silently.
Tang Yuzhu leaned back on the sofa, rubbing her temples with both hands, her eyes slightly closed, looking tired.
Li Bichen, who was standing behind her, massaged her shoulders and neck professionally with moderate strength and clear rhythm.
Her massage made Tang Yuzhu feel comfortable and relaxed, and the tension in her heart was also slightly relieved.
She whispered, "There's not a single child I can worry about."
In fact, what she liked was Li Bichen's massage technique, not her as a person.
Therefore, Li Bichen has always focused on providing good service, does not express too many opinions or comments, and rarely speaks proactively.
Occasionally, I would just quietly agree with a few words in response.
At this moment, Li Bichen pressed her finger while softly comforting her, "Madam, don't worry too much about the Third Master and the Fourth Miss. They are both adults and capable of solving their own problems."
"You should pay more attention to your physical health."
Tang Yuzhu sneered a few times, her tone sarcastic and disdainful, "If I don't worry about them, who will?"
"Rely on their eldest brother, second brother, or the old man? With their limited abilities, they can't even take care of their own affairs, and they still want to take care of our family's affairs?"
"If they don't lend a hand, at least don't stab us in the back. That would be the most they can do for us."
Thinking of her good-for-nothing daughter, Tang Yuzhu felt annoyed and almost frowned.
That stupid girl never uses her brain in anything she does, and now she jumps out to stand against her. This completely disrupts her overall plan!
What’s even more infuriating is her son. He could obviously like anyone, but he just had to get entangled with a woman of humble origin and no background!
This kind of woman, who was not even allowed to show her face in formal occasions, actually dared to set her sights on her son!
It really brings shame to the Tang family!
As for that woman named Chen Yan, she is simply a seductive vixen who relies on seducing men to climb up the social ladder. She has no backbone at all!
Tang Yuzhu frowned unhappily and asked in a cold tone: "Who is Chen Yan? What is her family situation? What do her father and mother do for a living?"
"This matter could be a big deal or a small one. Let's not wait until it blows up before we regret it. If she has a dark past, won't it be us who will suffer the consequences in the end? It will be even more difficult to handle."
If it wasn't for that kid Gao Yuanfeng, and if I wanted him to know that I was on his side, how could I possibly get involved with such a person!
It really dirty my hands!
Having said that, Gao Xilin's opposition is not entirely unreasonable.
If we really find a woman with bad character for Gao Yuanfeng, the whole upper class circle will know about it and we will be laughed to death!
Even if you are looking for someone to accompany you temporarily, you must not be too mean or too low-class!
So although I agreed to Gao Yuanfeng's request on the surface, this matter must be kept confidential, and absolutely no word of it must be known to the outside world!
In a couple of days I will go to meet Chen Yan in person and give her a warning so that she can behave herself and be a secret lover who can only be seen in the dark.
If she dares to leak a single word and ruin the reputation of our Tang and Gao families, I will not let her off easily!
Li Bichen lowered her head and thought for a moment, then responded cautiously, "Madam, I don't think I've ever heard anyone mention her family background."
She thought of her younger sister, Li Biluo, who had worked with her a while ago. "But I heard that she came all the way from Ontario to Shanghai to work, and even got a job at a manor. I guess her family's financial situation isn't very good, and she must be very short of money."
"Besides, she's not without some little thoughts."
"Little thoughts?"
Tang Yuzhu snorted coldly, her tone full of sarcasm: "I think she is a bit scheming! A woman like this can get a job in a manor in Shanghai and even climb to the top. How can she be a simple and honest person?"
Almost all the servants in our manor were recruited locally.
It is almost impossible for people from other places to work in our estate.
For Chen Yan to be able to work in the manor, there must be some shady connections behind her!
snort!
OK!
She is indeed a cunning and pretentious vixen!
It seems that I really underestimated her before!
Her methods are extraordinary!
He actually managed to sneak in through my son’s hands and eyes!
However, although I had to follow my son's wishes on the surface and let her stay with him, secretly, I must not let the relationship between the two of them get too close and let them get too close.
I want to set up some obstacles between them and create some conflicts. Only in this way, their feelings will not be too deep and cracks will slowly appear in the relationship. Only in this way can I ensure that my son can get her but will not lose his mind and become obsessed with her.
In the future, I will also have to find a more decent and suitable marriage partner for my son.
As for Chen Yan, I can’t let her get too attached to my son. More importantly, I can’t let my son like her too much or care about her too much!
She slowly raised her head, looked at Li Bichen standing beside her, and said softly, "Think of a way to make her life in the mansion less comfortable, and let her suffer a little."
Li Bichen's eyes moved slightly, and an imperceptible fluctuation flashed across his expression, but then he returned to calm.
He lowered his eyes, nodded respectfully, and whispered, "Yes."
At this moment, on the other side, the fourth girl Gao Xilin had just walked out of Tang Yuzhu's room.
Her face was not looking good, her brows were furrowed, and she was getting angrier and angrier. Finally, she couldn't help but stop and called her most capable assistant: "Go and call Chen Yan over to me."
After a while, Shen Yan was called to the floor where Gao Xilin lived again.
When she entered the room, she found it spacious and tidy. Gao Xilin sat upright on a high sofa, her face filled with indifference and condescending scrutiny. "You should be very aware of the huge gap between people of your status and us, right? How dare you try to climb the social ladder without even considering whether you have the means."
