Su's mother sounded worried on the other end of the phone, feeling that Zhou Yi was not the same as before: "Daughter, I feel something is wrong, I'm panicking."
"Don't go too far. Why don't you come back and apologize first?"
Admit your mistake?
she?
Why should I?!
Su Qingjiao's tone turned colder as she firmly stated, "It's not my fault, why should I admit it!"
“Mom, I know what I’m doing. These rich young men have seen too many obsequious people. They don’t like gentle and sensible girls.”
"The more I ignore him, the more he thinks I'm special."
Seeing Su Qingjiao's confidence, half of Su's mother's worries suddenly disappeared.
Thinking about what my daughter said, I'm right. People are just like that; they only yearn for and cherish things they can't have.
That's how it's portrayed in TV dramas. Before you get it, everything is grand and passionate, and they'd even give you their lives. But once you get it, you have to be stingy and calculating even when buying breakfast.
You have to make as much money as possible before you get what you want from Zhou Yi; the more you do it, the more obsessed and attentive he becomes.
After receiving her daughter's confident answer, Su's mother felt that she was not wronged living in the maid's house.
She is biding her time and will soon be able to reclaim her lost territory and become Empress Dowager again.
After ending her call with her mother, Su Qingjiao immediately dialed the number of the driver who often flattered her, only to be shocked to find that he had been fired.
Previously there were four drivers, but now there are only three.
One of the drivers couldn't be reached by phone, and the other two drivers, after receiving her call, made various excuses and refused to come pick her up.
It was because she lost her temper that the other party secretly told Su Qingjiao the truth.
“Miss Su, it’s not that I’m unwilling, but all the maids who helped you yesterday were kicked out, and the driver who was closest to you was also fired.”
“None of the upper-class families in Luzhou would hire them, and we dare not disobey the young master’s orders to pick you up.”
"Why don't you go and apologize to the young master? Men sometimes care about their pride too."
"As long as you admit your mistake, the young master will definitely forgive you."
"Enough! Stop talking! He can forget about it!!!" Su Qingjiao angrily hung up the phone on the spot. What had she done wrong that Zhou Yi needed to forgive her?
She's so angry!
She's so angry!!
Yesterday, Zhou Yi actually hit her because Aunt Zhou was there.
Twenty-nine... no, it's thirty-one. Before that, she even slapped her twice because of that damn grandma. She remembered the humiliation last night!
She will make Zhou Yi pay back a hundredfold, a thousandfold!
But what to do now that there's no car? Oh right... for the sake of appearances, Su Qingjiao had no choice but to quickly rent a luxury car from a car dealership to pick her up for school.
The Zhou family at this time.
Su's mother arrived at the restaurant leaning on her cane. Although she had temporarily moved to a tiny 12-square-meter maid's room, the maids did not dare to give her a hard time and were even very respectful.
After all, everyone knows that Zhou Yi was just acting out of anger.
Seeing that the breakfast laid out on the table consisted of her and Su Qingjiao's favorite dishes, Su's mother smiled despite her anxiety.
It seems Zhou Yi really couldn't hold back any longer.
On the surface, she still couldn't swallow her pride and went to see her daughter, but secretly she had the maid make their favorite breakfast. Wasn't that a subtle way of admitting defeat?
Confident that her daughter had Zhou Yi under her control, Su's mother, as usual, did not wait for Zhou Yi to come down and sat down in the main seat to eat breakfast.
While eating breakfast, they would also nitpick about what the housekeeper was doing wrong, and if she didn't know how to do it, they would replace her, since there were plenty of people who wanted to work for them.
As soon as Zhou Yi came downstairs, he saw Su's mother still arrogantly ordering the servants around. He walked over with a sullen face, glanced at the breakfast, and immediately flew into a rage: "Who is this breakfast for?"
"Young Master, it's us..."
"Can't any of you tell how many heads of the Zhou family there are? Why are you preparing breakfast for three people? Don't you know how many people eat in this family? Whose salary are you receiving? What, Aunt Su is paying you?"
The maid had never seen Zhou Yi so angry before, and she was trembling with fear.
They assumed that Zhou Yi hadn't kicked them out and that everything was as usual.
It turned out that they had guessed the young master's thoughts wrong.
Several maids who were preparing breakfast hurriedly went to clear the table. When Su's mother saw that her breakfast had been taken away by the maids, she glared at the maids who had taken her utensils.
"Xiao Yi, what's wrong with you...?" Su's mother wanted to put on airs and say something more.
Zhou Yi glanced at her coldly, overturned the food, and pointed at Su's mother's nose, yelling, "What are you? What right do you have to sit at the table and eat?"
"Listen up, everyone. Aunt Su is a maid hired by the Zhou family, nothing more. What a maid is required to do is what she is required to do."
"You all know what you're capable of, right? There's no need for further training!"
"Tell me, are domestic helpers allowed to eat at the master's table?"
The maid wiped the sweat from her brow: "Young master, no, we can't..."
Su's mother was put in an awkward position by Zhou Yi. She wanted to reiterate that she was, after all, the Zhou family's savior, but when she saw Zhou Yi's cold gaze, her eyes flickered with guilt.
But she pretended not to understand Zhou Yi's words and remained seated.
An old maid who had worked for the Zhou family for many years quickly came over, her face cold, and urged her to get to work: "Hey, Su, what are you standing there for?"
"Did you hear what the young master said? He hired you to work, not to freeload. Who do you think you are? Do you really think you're the master?"
