The maid replied in a low voice, "Upstairs."
Ignoring Hao Min, whose eyes were darting around with envy that was practically drooling, Su Qingjiao sat on the soft sofa and gave the order:
"Go and call him down."
The old maid who had been slapped by Zhou Yi earlier came out faster than the other maids. Her face was still burning with pain, and she harbored deep resentment towards Zhou Yi.
Now that her backer had returned, she couldn't wait to see Zhou Yi cry and apologize to Su Qingjiao, so she ran up and knocked on Zhou Yi's door.
"Young Master Zhou, Miss Su wants you to come downstairs."
"Knock knock knock knock, Young Master Zhou, did you hear that? Miss Su wants you to come downstairs."
"Knock knock knock..."
Not hearing Zhou Yi's reply, the servant continued knocking on the door persistently.
Zhou Yi suddenly flung open the door, looking calmly at the maid who seemed to have a temper.
"What's up."
The maid suppressed a smug smile and urged, "Miss Su wants you to go downstairs."
Zhou Yi glanced sideways at the slap mark that hadn't faded on the old maid's face. He had originally thought that if she knew what was good for her, he might give her a chance, after all, she had worked for the Zhou family for so many years.
Unexpectedly, this person is a fence-sitter, and now he's starting to fawn over the Su mother and daughter again.
Zhou Yi shook his head, took out a list from behind him, and crossed out her name on it.
The old maid curled her lip in disdain. Everyone knew that Young Master Zhou was a hopeless romantic. As long as she flattered the Su family mother and daughter, she would not only avoid being fired, but would also get a raise.
"Young Master Zhou, you should go down now, don't keep Miss Su waiting."
After saying that, the maid didn't wait for Zhou Yi to come home and turned around and went downstairs to report right in front of Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi showed no anger upon seeing this. He calmly took the list downstairs, glanced at the servants standing nearby, crossed out a few people on the list, and then casually looked at Su Qingjiao.
The experiences of the past five years were enough to make Zhou Yi more reserved.
The way he looked at Su Qingjiao was no longer the doting and tolerant look he once had; instead, it was as cold as snow in December, chilling people to the bone.
But Su Qingjiao habitually ignored all of Zhou Yi's glances and actions. She angrily accused Zhou Yi: "Zhou Yi, are you even a man? How dare you hit my mother?"
"Apologize to my mom right now, or I won't forgive you if you upset me!"
Zhou Yi chuckled and slowly began to speak:
"Did you know that your mother wanted to sell my Tibetan Mastiff?"
Faced with Zhou Yi's questioning, a hint of dissatisfaction flashed across Su Qingjiao's face: "If you sold it, you sold it. Why keep a Tibetan Mastiff? It gets sick and bites people all the time."
"But you, you dared to hit my mother for a dead dog?"
Apologize to me right now, or I will never forgive you!
With her daughter backing her up, Su's mother became more confident and arrogant, and said at the right moment, "And all the servants in the house were frightened by you just now."
Zhou Yi laughed angrily: "So you mean it was all my fault just now? I not only have to apologize to your mother, but also to the maid."
Su Qingjiao smiled and replied matter-of-factly, "Everyone is born with dignity. Even the poor have backbone. You scared them, so you should apologize."
"If your grandmother were here, wouldn't you apologize?"
Upon hearing Su Qingjiao mention her grandmother, Zhou Yi's expression suddenly turned extremely ugly.
If it weren't for this aloof woman using all sorts of tricks to swindle the Zhou Group from him in his past life, how could Grandma have ended up in a situation where she couldn't even afford medical expenses?
Looking at Su Qingjiao's designer coats, bags, and jewelry, and recalling the scene where his grandmother even needed him to borrow money for her cremation, his anger flared up.
"Smack."
"Who do you think you are, daring to mention my grandmother?"
"Smack."
"If you mention it, I'll slap you twice."
At that moment, everyone was stunned.
Su Qingjiao's face stung with pain; she was so shocked that she forgot to dodge the slap that was coming at her.
Su's mother was so shocked that she forgot to cry.
The servants were so shocked that they stood motionless, like statues of wood.
Hao Min, who had been watching the drama unfold, was so surprised that she covered her mouth.
No one expected that Zhou Yi, who had seemed calm just moments before, would resort to violence simply upon hearing the word "grandmother."
Zhou Yi was like a powder keg, attacking everyone indiscriminately, and his grandmother was the fuse. As long as someone touched the fuse, the powder keg would explode.
Su's mother was the first to react, and she screamed, "Ah!! It's all reversed!"
"Arrest Zhou Yi, he's gone mad, he's having epilepsy."
After Zhou Yi went upstairs, most of the maids had already gone to do their own work. Those who remained in the living room were naturally the maids who fawned over Su's mother. They didn't have to do any work; they only needed to serve and please Su's mother every day.
Hearing Su's mother scream, several maids hesitated and dared not move, while the maid who had been slapped in the face stepped in front of Su's mother almost without thinking.
Seeing this, the remaining servants exchanged glances, and then, following Su's instructions, they all worked together to restrain Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi lowered his eyes and silently thought to himself with a mocking smile, "Ten more minutes, very good, I'll clean them all up in a bit!"
Seeing that Zhou Yi was being held back by the maid, Su's mother calmed down.
She was somewhat flustered and frightened. How had she managed to get Zhou Yi held hostage? Although Zhou Yi valued his daughter more than his own life and treated her with utmost sincerity, no matter what, Zhou Yi was still the head of the Zhou family!
What should we do next?
Su's mother looked at Su Qingjiao with pleading eyes.
Su Qingjiao was trembling with anger. She really couldn't believe it! She had actually been beaten by Zhou Yi, that damned simp!
In the past, whenever I took a breather, he would fuss over me.
No matter how late it was, one phone call from her would make this simp run ten blocks to buy her milk tea. He was always pampered like a precious gem. The adoration he had received over the past three or four years made Su Qingjiao unable to accept this disparity. However, the burning pain on her face told her that what had just happened was real.
Zhou Yi did hit her.
And he slapped her twice with great force.
At this moment, Su Qingjiao seemed to be provoked. Perhaps it was because she had never suffered such grievances since Zhou Yi started to care about her.
Anyway, Su Qingjiao was already furious. She pointed at Zhou Yi with trembling hands and said:
"Zhou Yi, you're very good! You're very good! I, Su Qingjiao, am saying this right now: even if every man in the world were to die, I would never accept your advances again!"
"No matter how many luxury goods or luxury cars you give me, I won't even glance at you. You're a domestic abuser and a deadbeat. I must have been blind to give you the chance to pursue me!"
"Lock him in the basement."
Zhou Yi was secretly laughing to himself as he listened to these heartfelt words.
If it weren't for his unconditional pampering, this mother and daughter would still be living in a poor area. How could they be attending the best school in Luzhou and wearing designer clothes while ordering around the housekeeper?
Over time, they really got carried away!
It's so high it can float on your head and run wild!
