"Father, I don't need Bai Yueyue... or Sister to assist me. I can do it myself!" Qin Ye said. At first, Qin Ye was quite proud that Qin Limin had chosen to entrust him with the management of Bai Yueyue's businesses, feeling that he held a more important position in Qin Limin's heart than this imitator of Qin Yusa.
However, when Qin Limin said that Bai Yueyue should assist him, he could not interfere with Bai Yueyue's work and even asked Bai Yueyue to teach him. Qin Ye did not want that. He wanted to prove that he was as reliable as Qin Zijin and more capable than Bai Yueyue.
"This is an order, not advice," Qin Limin said coldly. "If you argue again, go and receive your family punishment."
"Father!"
"Come talk to me about other things when you're capable." Qin Limin used this sentence to shut down Qin Ye's next words, and then left with everyone.
After having lunch at the Qin family's house, Bai Yueyue and Li Jieyue returned to the manor.
In the car, Bai Yueyue said somewhat petulantly, "Mother, how can you reveal your preferences to outsiders? Lord Zhou Qing even wanted to give me some black tea."
Li Jieyue reacted calmly, simply chuckling as she said, "But I haven't had any black tea at the manor."
"Huh?" Bai Yueyue recalled carefully, and it was indeed the case. Li Jieyue had basically never drunk black tea. "But Lord Zhou Qing said that you used to get black tea from her often."
“That’s because I wanted her to think I like black tea,” Li Jieyue said. “I’m actually indifferent to black tea; I just wanted others to mistakenly believe that I do.”
Mother, you are terrifying!
Bai Yueyue was quite surprised that Li Jieyue could hide her preferences from Zhou Qing, who had been very nervous during their conversation. However, she quickly relaxed, realizing that Li Jieyue was her mother, and this was perfectly normal.
Bai Yueyue understood why Li Jieyue did this, deliberately leaving a false weakness to use at a crucial moment to deliver a fatal blow to the enemy.
Furthermore, Bai Yueyue genuinely disliked eating at the Qin family's house. Qin Zhenming was exceptionally kind to her, always trying to put everything in her bowl. However, Qin Zijing and Qin Ye didn't see it that way, especially Qin Ye, who practically regarded Bai Yueyue as an enemy.
Back in her room with Hu Meier's help, Bai Yueyue sat down at her desk, feeling that she was about to encounter even more trouble. Just Qin Ye alone made her think that he might not listen properly, and she'd have to be responsible for teaching him? She'd be grateful if he were even slightly more mature.
Moreover, there are two other annoying guys at the orphanage who are just as troublesome as Qin Ye, and now the children at the orphanage are also afraid of and resistant to Bai Yueyue.
"Ugh, really!" Bai Yueyue rubbed her head without any regard for her image.
"Young Miss, are you thinking about how to teach Lord Qin Ye?" Hu Meier asked after fixing Bai Yueyue's hair.
"I really want to teach him, but it's too difficult. Qin Ye already hates me, and besides, I've only just started learning these things myself! My godfather is going too far." She likes cute children like Ye Xinya, not annoying people like Qin Ye. Is Qin Limin treating her like Qin Ye's babysitter?
Hu Meier couldn't offer any better suggestions either, and since Qin Limin was involved, Bai Yueyue couldn't easily refuse.
"Thank you for your hard work, Miss." Hu Meier said as she prepared afternoon tea for Bai Yueyue. "Please rest for a while, Miss."
“It’s not hard work, it’s just bad luck. Oh, is it cookies today?” Bai Yueyue got up and went to the chair prepared for afternoon tea. “Hmm, but I don’t like cookies. Mei’er, please tell my chef that I don’t like dry things.”
"Yes, Miss."
"Also, Mei'er, how's the matter with the orphanage teachers?"
"Mei'er has already selected five suitable candidates for Miss. Would Miss like to review their information?"
"Please give it to me."
Bai Yueyue took the documents from Hu Meier and began to examine them.
There's no need to worry about Hu Meier's abilities; she has investigated and compiled all those people's education, background, and past.
"Are they mostly recent graduates?" Bai Yueyue asked, looking at the documents in her hand.
"Yes, Miss. It's just for teaching younger children. They are already good enough for you. Besides, they haven't established a strong foundation since they've just graduated, so it's perfect for you to nurture them."
So, Mei'er, are you saying they're naive, stupid, and easily fooled? Bai Yueyue looked at the documents in her hand with a strange expression. They were all older than her; could she really fool them?
Bai Yueyue understood why Hu Meier did this; Hu Meier wanted to prepare Bai Yueyue's network of connections, so that they would accept Bai Yueyue's kindness and become her subordinates.
“In that case, Mei’er, have them prepare to meet me and Dean Jiang at the location on Friday. I will meet with them in person.”
"Yes, Miss. Also, Miss needs to prepare to go downstairs for her lesson."
Oh dear, Mother, shouldn't you take a rest?
No matter how busy she was, Li Jieyue had no intention of putting Bai Yueyue's classes on hold. If there were special circumstances that forced her to postpone them, Li Jieyue would have Bai Yueyue make up for them.
Inside the Qin family residence, Qin Zijing listened to the servant's report that Qin Ye had been hastily summoned by Qin Limin, which resulted in the personal servant being punished. Qin Zijing knew that the matter was very important.
“Tell my brother to come see me directly and tell him that I have something very important to discuss with him.”
"Yes, young master."
Not long after, Qin Ye arrived accompanied by his personal attendant. Qin Ye looked at Qin Zijing sitting in front of him with some confusion in his eyes, while Qin Ye's personal attendant was extremely vigilant.
