Chapter 306 Kong Ci
Kong Ci sighed: "This is the third time you have apologized to me today. Tell me, why are you so absent-minded?"
Tang Qiyun was the maid she had carefully selected. She was the most skillful, considerate and attentive. It was obvious that she had encountered some difficulties.
In today's world, it is hard to find a good maid, so she was patient enough to listen to the other party's reasons.
Tang Qiyun bit her lips with an embarrassed look on her face, lowered her head and could not say anything.
Kong Ci frowned and looked at her for a while, then suddenly thought of something.
"Did Xiaochen do something?"
Tang Qiyun raised her head abruptly: "Madam..."
Kong Ci saw her looking up with an expression that said, "As expected."
She knew her son best. She knew that You Chen didn't listen to her advice that day.
Kong Ci pulled out a chair next to him, sat on it, and asked directly, "Tell me, what did he do?"
After a pause, he continued, "Just speak up, don't be afraid. If he does something excessive, I'll back you up."
Tang Qiyun did not relax after hearing these warm words.
She has no parents and grew up with her grandmother. She is used to the cruelty of the world and is much more mature than other people of her age. What worldly ways doesn't she understand?
He said he would help her support her waist, but that's just for fun - after all, they are mother and son.
Not to mention that she was just a maid, even if she was the daughter-in-law of this family, Kong Ci would never stand on her side.
Tang Qiyun's brain was working rapidly, thinking about how to respond. If she didn't handle this matter well, she would definitely be kicked out of the You family.
In the end times where people die every moment, it is so rare to have a safe and stable place like Youjia where you can live without worries about food and drink.
If she were driven out of here, she wouldn't live long.
Kong Ci didn't give her that much time to think. She asked again: "Xiao Tang, what happened?"
This time the tone was obviously not as good as before.
Tang Qiyun knew that the other party's patience was running out. Without time to think about it, she quickly replied:
"It's nothing serious, it's just that Master You keeps saying that he wants me to be his... friend for some reason."
She simply omitted the word "girlfriend". Tang Qiyun couldn't say the word "girlfriend" in front of Kong Ci.
Originally, when You Chen first mentioned this to her, she thought that the young master was just teasing her because he was bored.
Unexpectedly, this man was more difficult to pester than she thought. Since that meeting, he came to pester her every day.
Either he would suddenly appear behind her when she was working, or he would suddenly appear when she was taking a break in the housework room.
The worst one was that he showed up in her bedroom while she was sleeping, making it impossible for her to live and work normally!
The other party's attitude made it seem like he would not stop unless I became his girlfriend.
This made Tang Qiyun inexplicably think of the miserable maids who were forced by landlords in ancient times.
After telling the truth, Tang Qiyun anxiously observed Kong Ci's expression, but found that she didn't seem to care.
He even said earnestly: "Xiao Tang, although Xiao Chen doesn't look very serious, he is actually a very nice person."
Kong Ci was a smart person and she understood her son well, so she naturally knew what Tang Qiyun meant by "friend".
But she still said such words.
Tang Qiyun couldn't help being surprised.
Of course, she would never dream of marrying into a wealthy family like Cinderella.
Even with her identity as a time-traveling woman, she still didn't believe in fairy tales. How could a wealthy lady like Kong Ci allow her son to date a maid like her?
Tang Qiyun's heart was filled with alarm bells, and she became extremely alert. She chose her words carefully before saying:
"Of course the young master is very good. But I am just a servant, and I am not worthy of being the young master's friend. Our identities and thoughts are not on the same level, there is a world of difference between us."
This statement can be said to be extremely humble.
Sure enough, Kong Ci looked at her with satisfaction: "Xiao Tang, you are a good and sensible child."
Just when Tang Qiyun breathed a sigh of relief, she heard her say:
"But you don't have to be so nervous. Since Xiaochen wants to be friends with you, just have fun and don't think too much."
Tang Qiyun's heart sank.
"Madam, Young Master and I are not from the same world."
Kong Ci laughed and said, "We are just friends, not married. It doesn't matter if you are from the same world or not."
Tang Qiyun almost couldn't maintain the respectful expression on her face.
It turns out Kong Ci wanted to convince her to accept her son's teasing!
This kind of rich wife is much more annoying than the wealthy wife who says, "I'll give you a million and leave my son."
Tang Qiyun felt as uncomfortable as if she had swallowed a fly. However, she still needed the job and shelter of the You family, so she naturally could not break off relations with her employer.
I had no choice but to continue: "Madam, it is my job to take care of your life..."
She just wants to work hard and earn a living by labor!
They, the workers, can sell their souls to work like slaves for their bosses, but they are not willing to sell their bodies and innocence!
It's obvious that Mr. You is mentally ill. If you get involved with him, there will definitely be no good ending!
Kong Ci didn't look at her again, but leaned back in the chair, stretched out her hand and looked at her exquisite nails:
"Work is work. You can spend your free time as you wish. I won't interfere with your friendships."
Who wants to be friends with your son?
Tang Qiyun cursed her a thousand times in her heart, and said with a fake smile:
"But Madam, the young master also asked me to learn martial arts and shooting. I'm afraid I won't have time to work properly..."
After hearing this, Kong Ci finally stopped looking nonchalant. She stood up from her chair, frowning, "You guys want to play with guns? How can that be possible!"
Weapons are not something that a servant in a house can touch.
She looked at Tang Qiyun with some dissatisfaction.
She is indeed born with a rare good appearance. Xiaochen can just play with it, but how can I let her get the weapons at home?
Are you serious?!
But based on her understanding of her son, it is unlikely that he would be attracted to a girl who is ordinary in every aspect except her looks.
As the two were talking, You Chen suddenly staggered into the dance studio.
"Mom, you haven't finished dancing yet?"
He called her "Mom" but his eyes glanced at Tang Qiyun.
Tang Qiyun immediately became annoyed and stepped back without leaving a trace.
Kong Ci frowned: "Xiao Tang, you go down first."
Tang Qiyun was a little unsure of what she meant, so she responded with a "yes" and walked out of the room nervously.
When You Chen saw her leaving, he wanted to leave too, but Kong Ci stopped him:
"Xiaochen, I heard from Xiaotang that you want her to learn how to shoot?"
