Upon hearing this, Su's mother quickly and happily handed the rag to the maid.
"Then you need to wipe it clean carefully, I'll come up and check it later."
After saying that, Su's mother left triumphantly.
Her attention was focused on the maid doing chores for her, which allowed her to slack off, but she ignored the maid's reminder that Zhou Yi was very angry.
Every day, she racked her brains to find an easy job, buying easy tasks from other servants, while also keeping a close eye on her daughter and Zhou Yi's situation and giving her daughter advice.
These things have already taken up a lot of her time every day, and she has long forgotten about impersonating Zhou Yi's mother to go to school.
As Su's mother carefully descended the stairs, holding onto the railing, she asked in a kind and gentle manner:
"Xiao Yi, I heard you were looking for me?"
"Shouldn't you be at school right now?"
"Hey, why didn't Jiaojiao come back with you?"
When Su's mother saw that only Zhou Yi had returned, her suspicions deepened.
Her focus veered off course again, and she became concerned that her daughter hadn't come back with her. Did that mean the two of them hadn't made up yet?
For many years, Su's mother had been mediocre and unproductive. Even when she came to work as a maid in the Zhou family, she was fired by several employers because she did not know how to read the mood of her employers.
Previously, Zhou Yi doted on Su's mother and daughter, so Su's mother didn't need to worry about anyone's feelings, and all the servants in the Zhou family had to be mindful of her mood.
In the past few years of pampered life, Su's mother has not only failed to learn any social skills, but has become even more incompetent and dulled in her senses than when she was struggling to make a living.
Everyone saw the suppressed anger on Zhou Yi's face and dared not even breathe, but Su's mother was completely unaware.
She didn't even realize that when Zhou Yi's eyes saw the gold necklace around her neck and then swept over the watch on her wrist, his anger had already materialized.
Su's mother still didn't realize what was happening. She limped towards Zhou Yi, racking her brains to find something to say to persuade him to apologize to Su Qingjiao.
Seeing that Su's mother was walking too slowly, Zhou Yi gritted his teeth and took a few steps forward, then slapped Su's mother hard across the face.
"Smack—!!"
"ah!!"
"You old bitch! Who gave you the guts to impersonate my mom at school?"
Zhou Yi stared coldly at Su's mother, noticing her gaze shift from dazed to flustered, as if she was still prepared to lie to him.
"Young Master Zhou, this is a misunderstanding—"
"Smack—!"
Zhou Yi slapped her hard again, making half of Su's face numb. She staggered and fell to the ground, her head buzzing.
Zhou Yi walked over, grabbed her hair, and lifted her up, pulling her scalp up three centimeters.
He slapped Su's mother's face repeatedly while demanding, "Misunderstanding? You dare to talk to me about a misunderstanding? You lie so easily, and now you're going to lie to me again."
"Slap slap slap!!!"
"Ah! Young Master Zhou, it hurts, it hurts! Let me go!"
"Smack!!"
"You old bitch! I'm not a teacher at the school who doesn't know the situation. It's no use trying to play the victim or lie to me."
"Look at all these brand names on you, you don't even take them off when you're working."
"Even as a maid, you have to wear gold and silver and be decked out in designer clothes. How come you know to take off your most precious clothes when you go to school? Who gave you the guts? Who do you think you are to impersonate my mother!"
"Slap slap—"
"Waaaaah, stop hitting me! Stop hitting me! I'm your grandma's savior! Without me, your grandma would be dead! Waaaaah!!"
"Smack!"
"You still dare to yell, you still dare to threaten me! I heard you even cried to the teacher, saying you're not getting enough to eat every day, and that you won't even wear your best clothes..."
Zhou Yi questioned her repeatedly, and saw Su's mother trying to get up and run away in a panic.
He grabbed Su's mother by the hair and dragged her into the basement.
If Su's mother wouldn't get up, he would drag her along, and her shoes and clothes would come apart during the dragging.
The clothes were being pulled and tugged so hard that a hissing sound could be heard.
The sleeve of the arm that was being pulled had a long tear.
Su's mother looked distressed; these were designer clothes!
But seeing Zhou Yi's furious outburst, they dared not utter a word of complaint.
She knew she had been exposed and was terrified, but she was determined not to admit it.
Struggling and crying out for mercy, she cried out, "Zhou Yi, I didn't lie, I didn't go there, it's really a misunderstanding, you must have mistaken me for someone else."
"You can't treat me like this. I'm the savior of your Zhou family!"
Zhou Yi slapped her several more times, then kicked her in the abdomen a few times. The pain made Su's mouth twitch, and her nose and mouth were full of blood, making her unable to speak. Only then did he stop.
"You won't admit it, huh?"
"Don't try to use my savior as a pretext to blackmail me!"
"Don't you like to pretend to be poor and eat coarse food? Very well, I'll grant your wish. From now on, you'll live up to that standard in the Zhou family."
As Zhou Yi spoke, he ripped off the gold necklace from Su's mother's neck. The good gold necklace was not sturdy and fell off easily. He also took off her expensive clothes, which were already in bad condition.
Su's mother was wearing an inner garment underneath, which wouldn't expose her, but it was enough to make her lose face.
She sobbed and cried, her sobs were heart-wrenching.
"These jewels were given to you by the Zhou family. To be honest, house servants don't get this kind of perk. Since you say the Zhou family treats you so badly..."
"From now on, you won't get any of the benefits that the Zhou family's servants are entitled to."
"Men, strip all the jewelry off her body."
"Take off your clothes, shoes, and socks. The Zhou family should have prepared maid's clothes for you, why aren't you wearing them!"
Su's mother frantically tried to stop Su Yi from snatching the diamond-encrusted watch from her wrist, ignoring the pain all over her body.
This is the most expensive item, but it's her treasure, it's her life.
Her face was smeared with tears and blood: "No, Young Master Zhou, I was wrong."
"Don't take off my watch, it's worth over 100,000 yuan."
"I will never do it again."
At this moment, Su's mother dared not lie anymore; all she could think about was not having her things taken away.
Seeing how desperately Su's mother was protecting her food, Zhou Yi couldn't help but laugh in exasperation. He patted Su's mother's face and said, "I can give you these things, and I can also take them away from you. Know your place, okay? Zhou family's maid!"
"You'd better know how to explain this to my counselor later."
Seeing Su's mother nod while crying, Zhou Yi took out his phone and made a video call.
Su's mother quickly wiped the bloodstains off her face with her clothes, not caring how disheveled she looked or how many servants were watching this scene in the hall.
All she cares about now are those expensive designer brands; they're her lifeblood.
She nervously protected her watch, then hurriedly scrambled to pick up the gold necklace, which had been broken in two and thrown behind the sofa, clutching it tightly as if she had found it again, afraid that Zhou Yi would throw it away again.
