“Young Master Zhou isn’t that kind of person. How could he treat me like this? He used to treat me like family. You must have deducted my salary and framed Young Master Zhou.”
Butler Cao's face showed a mocking expression.
Before Butler Cao could say anything more, the servants around, who had long been fed up with Su's mother's selfishness and domineering attitude, began to mock her: "You said it yourself, it was in the past. Didn't you just say you were leaving? Now your resignation letter is in front of you, so hurry up and leave."
"Tsk tsk, how could someone bear to leave? She's still dreaming of her daughter becoming Mrs. Zhou!"
"Pah, shameless."
Someone, suppressing their anger, shoved Su's mother aside and began signing the papers.
Others followed suit, pushing and shoving, until Su's mother was pushed all over the place and finally shoved out, landing hard on the cold floor.
As the crowd gradually dispersed, the servants, who had signed their pay slips, returned to their posts with happy expressions.
Only then did Su's mother limp to her feet, and walked resentfully to Butler Cao: "I'll sign! You wait, once my daughter makes up with Young Master Zhou, you'll be sorry!"
"You'll definitely regret it then!"
Feeling the mocking gaze of Butler Cao, Su's mother pretended not to see it, quickly wrote her name, and hurriedly lowered her head to find something to do, so that Butler Cao could not find any fault with her.
They had only been working for a short while when it was time for the servants to take turns eating dinner.
The Zhou family has many servants, who take turns resting and eating.
The servant's plate contained five dishes and a soup, with large slices of meat and chicken that were deep-fried until crispy and fragrant, the aroma of which could be smelled from a distance.
With a thick skin, Su's mother tried to get some food. She licked her dry lips, swallowed hard, and chuckled, "Payday? Is there extra food?"
If she gets extra food, then she won't have to eat coarse grains and wild vegetables anymore.
She hasn't eaten meat for several days, and now her mouth waters at the mere smell of meat.
In the past few years, when Zhou Yi was pursuing Su Qingjiao, she ate fresh meat that was flown in from abroad. She used to be able to eat it anytime and was getting a little tired of it.
Now, if she doesn't eat meat for a day, she feels extremely uncomfortable all over; she can't live without meat.
The chef glanced at her, then took a rice bowl from the side and handed it out the window.
The food bowl was as big as a Tibetan Mastiff's dog bowl, but there wasn't a single shred of meat on it.
Beneath the bran and wild vegetables lay coarse rice, so hard it was almost unpalatable and could even cut one's throat; it looked worse than food for a dog.
At least the dog can still eat fresh beef.
She could only eat boiled bran and wild vegetables.
I didn't even bother to put oil on the bran and vegetables, I just added a little salt and scooped them out.
It was so bitter and astringent, it was like eating tree bark.
Seeing that Su's mother refused to take it away, the cook impatiently scolded, "Hurry up and leave, don't delay everyone's meal."
"Didn't you spread rumors at school that you eat bran and wild vegetables every day? And you even dared to impersonate the young master's mother, you deserve it! We all specially picked wild vegetables from the mountain for you, don't waste our good intentions."
When Zhou Yi returned and angrily beat Su's mother, all the servants in the house knew about Su's mother's affair.
Who is Su's mother? How dare she impersonate Zhou Yi's mother to go to the school and complain about her misery?
Su's mother trembled with anger, her heart pounding with pain.
She deeply remembered the ugly faces of these people, thinking that once her daughter won Zhou Yi back, she would make those who bullied and humiliated her taste the bitterness of hardship.
Su's mother carried the rice bowl back to the basement.
At this moment, all the pent-up grievances exploded. After slamming the door shut, she burst into tears, sobbing, "Waaaaah, you damned dogs! You're all a bunch of damned lackeys!"
"This is too much! I will never let them get away with this in the future."
"Daughter, why haven't you come back yet? Your mother was almost kicked out."
While eating coarse food, Su's mother cried miserably, secretly blaming Su Qingjiao for not returning. If she had returned, the mother and daughter would not have been bullied so badly.
She also blamed Su Qingjiao for so confidently saying that she would give Zhou Yi a few days to calm down, but now Zhou Yi has really 'calmed down' and doesn't take them and their daughter seriously at all.
What kind of life are we living?!
"Beep... The number you dialed..."
"The number you dialed..."
She had made several calls but no one answered. It was getting dark and her daughter still hadn't returned.
For some reason, Su's mother felt as if a stone was pressing on her heart, making it hard for her to breathe.
-
Old town area.
Su Qingjiao opened her eyes with difficulty. She was awakened by the cold. The moment her rationality returned, she smelled the foul and pungent odor on her body and wished she could faint again immediately.
Being locked up here, I can't see whether it's day or night outside.
All that could be seen was the light shining on the leader's head, casting a shadow that instilled a sense of fear for no reason.
She saw that the person guarding her was scrolling through his phone, and Su Qingjiao immediately tried to get up slowly and run away.
But after being tormented for so long, she vomited up everything she had eaten that day, and now she was so hungry that her legs were weak and she had no strength left.
Her movements quickly alerted her guards.
Seeing that she was trying to escape, the guard locked his phone, put it back in his pocket, took a few steps forward, and kicked Su Qingjiao in the face.
"If you dare to run again, believe me, I'll break your legs!"
Su Qingjiao curled up in fear, her body trembling, partly from the cold and partly from fear: "Please let me go, I can give you a lot of money."
"One million, five million, ten million, anything is fine, waaaaah, I really am from the Zhou family—"
Seeing the guards' unpleasant expressions, she remembered that she had said during the day that she was the heir to the Zhou Group, but they didn't believe her.
She had no choice but to quickly change the subject, and of course, she told the truth: "I really didn't lie to you. I am the fiancée of Zhou Yi, the heir to the group, and the most precious person in his heart."
"You must know about the Zhou Group, right? You arrested me, and Zhou Yi must be frantic right now. The police might already be on their way to search for me."
"Really, everything I said is true."
"If you don't believe me, you can call Zhou Yi and negotiate."
"In the past three or four years, Zhou Yi almost handed over the entire Zhou Group to me in order to pursue me."
"He bought the resort and gave it to me just because of one sentence I said."
“He puts me first in everything and is willing to do anything for me. As long as you call Zhou Yi and tell him how much you want, I will have Zhou Yi transfer the money to you immediately.”
“He really is willing to do anything for me, whether it’s ten million or a hundred million, as long as you ask, he will pay without hesitation for me.”
