Sorry, I went out drinking with friends yesterday... It's been so long since I've had a heavy drinking session. I slept from six or seven in the morning until past ten at night (around ten in China), and only recently woke up. Now I'm totally messed up my sleep schedule...
As a result, I didn't even write a leave request... I was so confused that I didn't even remember that. My head still hurts. Sorry, sorry.
I'll catch up on what I missed yesterday in the next couple of days; I'll take a break today.
Thank you all for your concern in the group. I'm not worried about not being found out if I go missing anymore. But the things you're concerned about are so strange—why are you all asking if my butt is okay? My butt's hanging from a tree...
——
Su Lin's current state of mind can only be described in one word.
I'm so annoyed.
She now only felt that she was a bit too slow to realize things. If she had made things clear to the young master earlier, perhaps things wouldn't have turned out this way... Anyway, the current situation is quite absurd. She didn't think anything of it when Xu Shi planned to bring Gu Yi to live at home, but by the time she realized something was wrong, Xia Wuyou and her niece couldn't stop her anymore.
The worse thing is that even though she knows it, she still finds it difficult to talk about it.
Or perhaps she was worried? She could no longer deceive herself; it was indeed because of what happened in her childhood, coupled with the changes that had occurred recently, that her gratitude and loyalty were gradually fermenting and turning sour.
But what about the young master's attitude towards her? It might be better if you don't say anything, but if you do and he doesn't reciprocate, you won't even know how to get along with him. She's different from people like Gu Yixia and Wuyou. When they confront each other, they probably won't be bothered even if there's no result, but she can't be that open-minded. They're fundamentally very different.
So she could only sulk and fume, just like an internal circulation loop... What else could she do? She could only try to be the same as before, to be a good housekeeper and prepare the dinner in front of her first.
Perhaps sensing that Director Su was somewhat displeased, the previously noisy living room suddenly quieted down—Gu Yi and Xia Ke'an froze in their hair-pulling, while Xia Wuyou tactfully pulled her embarrassing aunt aside.
They were aware of the situation; after all, they were essentially living under someone else's roof, weren't they? Whether Xu Shi cared or not was one thing, but Su Lin certainly couldn't completely ignore it either; being too overbearing would only annoy people.
What's interesting is that, without knowing the truth, they all reached a certain consensus...
This woman must have been Xu Shi's first wife; in ancient terms, she would be considered his first wife, and she certainly deserved the respect due to her.
"Um...do you need any help?"
Xia Wuyou asked tentatively.
"No need, I can manage on my own."
Su Lin shook her head, her tone revealing even more displeasure.
She was somewhat aware of these people's ulterior motives, and in theory, such an attitude should have been very pleasing... but the reality was not so pleasant.
What others think is one thing, but only Su Lin herself knows the truth. Others treat her as the first, but that's not really the case. Because of a non-existent fact, others have developed awe towards her, and she doesn't know whether to be angry or happy.
Um……
In any case, she still had a good deterrent effect. Gu Yi and the others immediately turned into obedient children, sitting on the sofa and showing their ladylike demeanor. If you didn't know better, you would think it was an afternoon tea party for high-society ladies.
By the way, where is Xu Shi?
Xu was watching a play.
Dinner was all sour and spicy, so sour it made my teeth fall out, and so spicy I couldn't sit still.
...
The eerie atmosphere of peace lasted until midnight.
After what happened during the day, Miss Black Rabbit tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. Even her favorite game now seemed boring.
That's obvious, isn't it? Suddenly having a competitor, it's impossible to sleep soundly.
In her opinion, Su Lin deserved respect, but Xia Wuyou might not. "You've only been here a few days! Why don't you obediently go to the back of the line?"
And that little white-haired kid, I heard she's actually an old lady... So what if she's an old lady? She's clearly just a child! Fighting and pulling each other's hair?
The thought of living under the same roof with two people like that made her roll her eyes.
And... the thing I talked about with that bastard Xu during the day still hasn't been settled!
It's been so long since we last met, I can't let him bully me, pshaw, I have to bully him to my heart's content! Otherwise, all this time I've been waiting alone in my empty room for nothing?
Having made up her mind, she quietly got up, grabbed a few cute little clothes she had bought before, and prepared to go and chat with Xu Shi under the cover of night.
I heard this is a style from female students a long time ago? It's called something like J, and most boys just can't resist it... In addition to the ones she already had, she also inexplicably bought a few different styles of small chokers with bells on them. I bet that bastard Xu will really like them.
However.
When she cautiously reached Xu Shi's door, she saw another dog sneaking up ahead of her.
"……you?"
Gu Yi and Xia Wuyou, who had just met, both pointed at each other with strange expressions.
"I've come to report some work-related matters to Xu Shi."
Xia Wuyou was the first to come to her senses and said in a serious tone.
"What a coincidence, me too, Manager Xia."
Gu Yi nodded in agreement, and then the two stared at each other with forced smiles.
Who are you kidding?
Does anyone bring sexy lingerie to report for work?
What work did you report on? Are you going to receive the chairman's work instructions later?
