"don't want!"
Just as the knife was about to land on Jian Ruoxi's lower abdomen, she woke up instantly, her pillow already soaked with sweat.
"Miss Jian, what's wrong?"
The servants were tidying up the room downstairs when they suddenly heard Jian Ruoxi's shrill scream. Thinking something dangerous had happened, they rushed upstairs immediately.
Before leaving, Young Master Lu repeatedly instructed him to take good care of Miss Jian.
If Miss Jian has any problems, Young Master Lu will personally settle accounts with them.
"I'm fine, I just had a nightmare."
"I'm sorry, I startled you."
Although Lu Shen arrived in time, he was also quickly out of danger.
However, the fear brought by the danger lingered for a long time.
I also dreamed about the same situation, but unlike in reality, Lu Shen didn't appear in time in the dream.
She almost thought she and her child were going to disappear together.
"It's good that Miss Jane is alright." The servants breathed a sigh of relief.
"Breakfast is ready, you can enjoy it anytime." Their attitude towards Jian Ruoxi was far too respectful.
This made her feel very uncomfortable.
"Well, I'm just staying here temporarily. You don't need to be so polite with me. Just go about your business."
I've never heard of a tenant being served by a maid.
What's the difference between this and the host's house?
"This?" The servants looked at each other, unsure how to explain.
Finally, a slightly older-looking maid stepped forward.
“Miss Jian, taking care of Mr. Lu’s private villa is part of our job, and the people living here are also people we need to take care of.”
She was the head maid in charge of all the maids in the villa, and she was the most experienced and senior.
Dealing with this matter and getting Jian Ruoxi to accept their care was not difficult for her.
If they can really help the young master and young mistress reconcile, then they will have done a good job.
"Alright," Jian Ruoxi reluctantly agreed.
She felt that no matter how many reasons she gave, it wouldn't be of any use. If she said one thing, the head maid might have even more to say to shut her up.
Where did Lu Shen find all these people?
They're all so amazing.
"Ms. Jian, Mr. Ran will be coming to discuss work with you at 10:00 AM."
While Jian Ruoxi was eating breakfast, the head maid promptly reported.
Is Ran Jie coming?
When did he find out he was living here?
"I don't remember having an appointment with Ran Jie today?"
The head maid maintained her standard polite smile and said, "It was the young master who made the appointment."
Lu Shen really isn't afraid of her causing trouble.
The negative information about her online hasn't been dealt with yet, and now he's proactively telling Ran Jie that he's moved into his private villa.
It's easy to imagine how angry Ran Jie will be when he arrives.
"Before Mr. Ran arrives, could you please brew him a cup of tea to cool him down and relieve his internal heat?" Jian Ruoxi said to the head maid beside her, feeling utterly hopeless.
She felt that Ran Jie would really need this later.
"sure."
While Jian Ruoxi went upstairs to tidy up, the head maid took out her phone to report the situation to Lu Shen.
"Young Master, the young mistress didn't eat much this morning, but she drank a lot of salty porridge and didn't touch the chicken soup."
At this moment, Lu Shen was holding a meeting with shareholders in the conference room. Everyone saw him nodding repeatedly and taking notes.
Thinking he was on a very important phone call, everyone held their breath and didn't dare to breathe loudly, for fear of disturbing Young Master Lu's work.
"Okay, I understand. Tell the chef not to make chicken soup anymore."
"I cook different kinds of porridge every morning."
Wait, did they hear that right?
Young Master Lu actually used meeting time to arrange household chores, and even assigned them in such detail.
Is this still the same Young Master Lu they know?
After hanging up the phone, Lu Shen sensed that something was off and looked up to check.
He noticed that the shareholders and directors present were all looking at him with strange eyes.
It was as if she didn't recognize him.
Do you still have any questions about the work plan I just mentioned?
He had just told the head maid about the company's future development before answering the call.
The shareholders shook their heads vigorously, as if they had no right to question what Young Master Lu had said.
The question just now was clearly a warning from Young Master Lu.
"Okay, let's continue."
Before 10 o'clock, Ran Jie had already arrived at Lu Shen's private villa by car.
If Lu Shen hadn't personally sent someone to pick him up, he probably wouldn't have been able to even get through the outermost gate.
"Rich people are just so extravagant!"
Throughout the journey, Ran Jie's eyes were filled with resentment towards the rich; he was practically ready to punch Lu Shen.
He had visited the private villas of some wealthy people, but this was the first time he had seen one as extravagant as Lu Shen's.
It seems Lu Shen has bought the entire estate.
From the moment they drove through the gate until now, Ran Jie hasn't even seen the top of the villa.
"Mr. Ran, we've arrived!"
The driver opened the car door for Ran Jie, and servants stood on both sides of the villa's main entrance to welcome him.
To make up for her guilty conscience, Jian Ruoxi also came out to greet them.
"It's only been three days since I last saw you, Ruoxi. You've really impressed me. You've moved into such a nice house in just a few days."
"With so many servants at your beck and call, you're living a good life."
He's been working himself to the bone these past two days dealing with all that negative stuff online, and hasn't even had a proper night's sleep.
She did something quite different; she turned around and went to find Lu Shen without even notifying him beforehand.
He wanted to rely on a powerful figure for support.
Ran Jie's words were dripping with sarcasm.
"Ran Jie, come in and rest for a bit. There's some hot tea prepared for you inside," Jian Ruoxi said with an awkward smile.
She knew that Ran Jie was definitely angry right now, and no matter what she said, the old man probably wouldn't listen.
The head maid seized the opportunity to smooth things over for Jian Ruoxi, "Miss Jian knew you were coming early this morning, so she specially instructed us to brew tea for Mr. Ran. Would you like to come in and have a taste?"
Ran Jie glanced at Jian Ruoxi sideways, "Fine, at least you still have some conscience."
Meanwhile, Lu Shen's meeting was also nearing its end.
That's all for today, but I have one last thing to say.
Those present suddenly felt a chill run down their spines.
Generally speaking, the things that Young Master Lu saves to talk about last are always extremely important.
They dared not be careless and listened carefully.
"I don't want to hear another word about the phone call I took in the middle of the meeting once I leave this conference room."
Do you understand what I mean?
Li Anran is currently working as an informant in the company, and the fewer people who know about Ruoxi, the better.
"Understood! Don't worry, Young Master Lu, we didn't hear anything just now."
