"Time is running out, so I'll be frank. You must really value this job and want to stay on, right? After all, you could never earn such a high monthly salary anywhere else, and you'd never be able to afford the clothes you want."
"..." Yes, she was determined to stay.
"But I heard that Sister Wenya seems to really like that guy named Yi Yi. Your chances of winning aren't great."
Liang Xiaoru understood; Miss Xia had come to offer her advice. Of course, she wouldn't help her out of thin air. Could it be that she and Yi Yi had some kind of grudge?
“Miss Xia is right. I wonder if you have any good ideas on how I can stay. If I can get this job, I will do anything you ask.”
"I don't need you to do anything. Just getting her out of the Mu family will be a great success. And I want it as soon as possible; I can't stand even a day longer." A glint of shrewdness flashed in Xia Bingqing's eyes. Ideally, that woman should disappear from the Mu family before dawn tomorrow!
"I wonder what brilliant ideas Miss Xia has?" Liang Xiaoru leaned closer, and the two whispered something to each other, laughing more and more happily.
...
At dinner time, Mu Nanxun and others ate in the restaurant, while Li Ma, Yi Yi, Liang Xiaoru and others were in the kitchen.
Yi Yi once again redefined her understanding of human cuisine, eating with gusto. Seeing her enjoy the food so much, Li Ma and Uncle Zhang also found their appetites improved. Only Liang Xiaoru's eyes were filled with disdain.
"Yi Yi, after we finish dinner, we'll hand over our work, and then I'll go home. Tonight, you need to take good care of Miss Yi and make sure she doesn't get upset."
"Don't worry!" Yi picked up a piece of glutinous rice ball and ate it, getting rice crumbs all over her face. Li Ma watched her with a smile, wiping the rice crumbs off her face and repeatedly telling her to eat slowly.
Night fell quickly.
After giving Mu Wenya a bath, Yi helped her lie down on the bed, while she lay down on the sofa in the room, intending to leave after Mu Wenya fell asleep.
"ah--"
Just as Yi Yi was drifting off to sleep, a terrifying scream jolted her awake.
The voice was mournful and shrill, so sharp it seemed to pierce one's eardrums.
Could it be the young lady...?
Yi Yi immediately became alert, turned over and sat up from the sofa, and saw Mu Wenya with her long hair draped over both sides, staring blankly ahead.
That scream just now, that was her, wasn't it?
Just as Li Ma had said, the young lady was like a completely different person at night. There was no trace of her gentle and tender self from the daytime.
Her face was still beautiful, yet it seemed to have suddenly lost its vitality, like an empty mask. Her eyes, which were clear and bright during the day, were now filled with a frightening depth, like a dried-up well.
Moreover, her body began to tremble, and the expression on her face was indistinguishable—whether it was fear, anger, or something else entirely.
Such a pampered young lady is both frightening and heartbreaking.
Yi walked over cautiously and called out softly, "Young Miss, are you alright?"
"..."
Mu Wenya sat blankly on the edge of the bed as if she hadn't heard anything.
Unlike what Li Ma described, she doesn't throw tantrums or break things. She probably just had a nightmare and woke up scared.
Yi cleared her throat, moved closer, stopped in front of Mu Wenya, leaned forward, and reached out to help her onto the bed.
