"Ding ding ding!" The antique grandfather clock in the bedroom suddenly rang out.
The maid glanced at the time displayed on the monitor and reminded the old lady, "Madam, it's time for dinner."
"I'll see you downstairs."
Li Anran had already taken her seat at the restaurant table.
What made the maid want to laugh was...
Behind her stood four maids.
His eyes were fixed on her back, as dutiful as could be.
Once this matter is over, she must mention the names of the four people to the old lady and give them a raise.
The old lady naturally noticed that Li Anran's face was full of reluctance, but she didn't say anything.
She glanced around and saw only Li Anran with a slight frown.
The maid immediately realized that the old lady was looking for the young master and stepped forward to explain.
"Madam, the young master went to the company during the day. A servant asked the company's receptionist, and they said that the young master had just left the company not long ago."
"Judging by the time, it should be arriving soon."
After speaking, she deliberately observed the expression on the old lady's face.
Surprisingly, after learning about the young master's situation, the old lady's expression did not ease much.
Could it be that the old lady wanted to ask about someone other than the young master?
Where is that woman?
It's already dinnertime, why aren't they coming down yet?
Do you expect her to send someone to invite her?
Thinking of this, the old lady's face immediately darkened.
It turns out that the old lady was indeed looking for Miss Jian.
This was somewhat unexpected.
"Miss Jian is a guest brought by the young master, but because of her awkward status, the servants are unsure whether they should invite her over."
"So I still need to consult with you."
"What do you think?"
At the dining table, Li Anran also noticed the situation with the old lady and vaguely heard them talking about Jian Ruoxi's name.
Could it be that this old woman still wants to eat at the same table as Jian Ruoxi?
How is that possible?
The old lady hates people in the entertainment industry the most.
I've said before that having dinner with people like that would lower your own status.
"Of course we should call them down," the old lady said, glaring at the maid beside her.
I used to think that the maids in my house were quite good at handling things.
Why was I so confused this time?
Upon hearing this, Li Anran suddenly raised her head.
What? The old woman actually wants to call Jian Ruoxi over?
Are they about to break the ice?
What if the old woman changes her opinion of Jian Ruoxi? Where would that leave her?
No, she couldn't let that happen.
Li Anran sat up from her seat, and the four servants who accompanied her immediately followed.
"I'm in the Lu family's main hall right now, I'm not going to run away, why are you all following me like this?"
She's said this countless times today.
But all they ever received was silence from the four of them.
"Forget it, forget it, there's no point in arguing with you stubborn people."
She had important business to attend to, so she decided to stop the old woman's actions first.
"Grandma, are you calling Jian Ruoxi down to eat with us?"
The old lady nodded.
"She is, after all, a guest brought by Ah Shen. If we don't even give her a meal, and word gets out, won't people say that our Lu family is stingy?"
Would the old woman care about what others say about the Lu family?
Even if any rumors that are detrimental to the Lu family were to circulate, the old woman would probably step in herself to stop the source.
This reason was clearly meant for her.
"But even if you call Ruoxi down, she might not appreciate it."
"Ruoxi probably doesn't want to eat at the same table as us."
Anyway, Jian Ruoxi isn't here.
She didn't mind giving the old lady a little more criticism.
"Li Anran, next time you make up a lie, remember to ask me first."
“I never said anything like that.”
If she hadn't been a little hungry and wanted to go downstairs to see what good food was available, she would have been fine.
She won't live to see such a spectacular scene.
Li Anran really knows how to find trouble for herself at every opportunity.
It goes without saying that the old lady's impression of her must have worsened again.
However, she didn't care about that.
Anyway, the old lady has never liked her, so how bad could she be?
Li Anran's expression clearly showed some panic.
That damn woman, why didn't she come down at a better time?
It just so happens that they came down at this time.
She heard everything I just said.
Her mind was racing, trying to figure out how to cover up what had just happened.
"Oh, I see. Then I must have remembered it wrong."
As soon as she finished speaking, Jian Ruoxi reached out and interrupted Li Anran.
"How could you remember it wrong?"
“Since I entered the Lu family, the two of us have never met, let alone spoken.”
Jian Ruoxi stepped forward and approached Li Anran, startling her so much that she involuntarily retreated.
"Then where did you hear that you said you didn't want to eat at the same table with the old lady?"
In the past, Li Anran must have spoken ill of her to the old lady in the same way.
The old lady already had a prejudice against her work, and Li Anran often added fuel to the fire with her exaggerated claims.
It would be strange if he could have feelings for her.
She hadn't encountered him before, and she didn't know what Li Anran had said.
She just happened to see it today, and she won't let this go easily no matter what.
Did they really think Jian Ruoxi was easy to bully?
