Ling Yuexue smiled and said, "It's kind of you to remember that. If it weren't for saving you, I wouldn't have done that in such an unseemly way. Please stop teasing me!"
These words inexplicably made Long Tingwei uncomfortable. Could it be that she had forgotten? Did she not care? Did she think that saving him was something not worth remembering?
Perhaps she doesn't love herself as much as she thinks. If that's the case, she just needs to tell herself that she will let go!
Even if they don't become a couple, he will still give her a large sum of money and wish her happiness.
Long Tingwei's smile faded slightly, and Ling Yuexue realized that she had said something she shouldn't have, and immediately felt a little flustered.
Long Tingwei strode over and glanced at the group of women playing around in the garden.
When the servants saw Long Tingwei approaching, they hurriedly stopped what they were doing and stood in a row, looking helpless.
Jian Mujin didn't stop. She was in a frenzy and, taking advantage of the others stopping, kicked and stomped on Qiu Yixia several times.
"Stop! What are you all doing? Stand in a line!"
Jian Mujin wanted Long Tingwei to judge the matter, so she stopped for the time being. However, she wasn't a servant of the Long family, so she wouldn't stand with them.
"What's going on?" Long Tingwei looked at them seriously.
"Young Master, it's all that woman's fault! She started hitting people as soon as she arrived!"
"Young Master, please help me! I only said a few words, and she thought I was talking about her, so she came up and hit me, saying things like she dropped out of middle school and smokes, drinks, and goes womanizing..."
Qiu Yixia stopped talking halfway through her sentence.
Long Tingwei looked at Jian Mujin, wanting to hear her explanation.
"I'm pretty sure you were talking about me just now, you gossipy, slanderous old woman, you long-tongued hussy!"
Jian Mujin's chest heaved with anger.
"So, you're the one who started this trouble?" Long Tingwei suddenly shot a cold glint in his eyes.
"What do you mean I started this? She..."
Long Tingwei didn't want to listen anymore. Everyone was saying the same thing, and besides, this woman's character really wasn't very good.
"Since that's the case, and you did hit someone, then pay for their medical expenses and take them to the hospital for a checkup!"
"I'm not taking them to the hospital. It'll cost me my money, and I don't have any!" The thought of money was enough to kill Jian Mujin. She would rather throw the money away and feed it to the dogs than spend it on them.
"Alright, since you're unwilling, then let her recover from her injuries. You can do the work for her. Aunt Qiu, you'll still get your salary this month. You can go and rest now!"
"You, come here and sign this agreement!"
Long Tingwei tossed a copy of the agreement he was holding at him. It was as if he felt utterly disgusted to take another step forward.
Jian Mujin had nowhere to vent her anger. Not only did Long Tingwei not help her seek justice, but he also helped them bully her.
She picked up the agreement and tore it to shreds.
"You're completely unfair, and you even helped them bully me. You're a piece of scum, and you think I'm disgusting? I shouldn't have saved you in the first place!"
"You'll save me?" Long Tingwei wasn't angry that she tore up the agreement; instead, he asked with a deeper look in his eyes.
Ling Yuexue gasped. Would Jian Mujin reveal what happened back then?
“My grandfather shouldn’t have saved your grandfather back then, and you wouldn’t be opposing me today!” Jian Mujin felt that the biggest mistake she made was saving him. What good would it do to tell him the truth? Even if he knew, he would pretend not to know, because he didn’t want his wife to be a woman with scars who would embarrass him.
She doesn't expect him to treat her well! He's not anyone to her anyway!
Ling Yuexue breathed a sigh of relief, while Long Tingwei cursed under his breath, "You're asking for it! Don't push your luck! As long as you get a divorce, you'll get every penny you're owed. You didn't know your place and provoked someone else, and now you're blaming me for not standing up for you!"
I'll have the agreement printed out. If you don't work for Aunt Qiu, you won't get a single penny of the 100,000 yuan!
Jian Mujin gritted her teeth, glaring angrily at Long Tingwei.
Long Tingwei didn't want to see those eyes filled with anger and resentment. She had always given him a bad impression. He didn't like her, and none of the servants in the Long family liked her either. So shouldn't she reflect on whether she had done something wrong?
Jian Mujin forced back her tears, which were welling up in her eyes. She glanced at the ground, then picked up a small pebble from a short distance away and threw it at Long Tingwei.
Long Tingwei, who was turning to walk back, suddenly stopped, took off his suit jacket that was covered in dust from the stone, and threw it on the ground.
He turned around and looked at her with his hands in his pockets. "From now on, you need to clean up all the stones and debris on the ground. No one is allowed to help you!"
Also, wash this suit jacket for me. If you fail to do one thing right, you're not eating today. You can eat again when someone else has inspected and approved it!
After finishing his sentence, Long Tingwei didn't even look at Ling Yuexue, and went straight back to his villa.
The servants around were all very pleased. This lawn covered a large area, and it usually took ten people working together to clean up all the trash in it.
They usually pick up trash on the lawn near the roadside, and they won't go in to pick up trash unless there is any conspicuous trash there.
We used to do a thorough cleaning once a week at most, but now that it's almost time for one, it'll save us the trouble.
Qiu Yixia, limping and with a bruised and swollen face, took off her work clothes and threw them hard on the ground, saying defiantly, "Hurry up and pick them up! You won't eat today if you don't finish picking them up!"
Jian Mujin gritted her teeth and didn't refute. She just glared at Qiu Yixia and remembered her arrogant face. One day, she would take revenge!
"Go ahead and glare at me again, and I bet I'll throw all the trash in here so you can pick it up. You won't need to eat for two days!"
Jian Mujin found a trash bag, lowered her head and began picking up trash. Several maids looked at each other, smiled mockingly, and chattered amongst themselves. Their words were full of disdain, but Jian Mujin pretended not to hear them. She was afraid that she would lose her temper and rush over to beat them up again.
Even if they divorce, Long Tingwei wouldn't give her any money.
Jian Mujin had never felt so wronged. Every time she came into contact with Long Tingwei, her heart was broken and riddled with holes. Even the most optimistic and strong heart was overwhelmed by this overwhelming sense of injustice.
Ling Yuexue went upstairs and found Long Tingwei in the large bedroom. He was sitting upright on the bed, holding a pink, fluffy pig keychain in his hand, while the bottom drawer of the bedside table, which was usually locked, was open.
His focused and nostalgic expression deeply pierced Ling Yuexue's heart. She was absolutely certain that the keychain was left behind by the little girl who saved him back then.
He kept the keychain in excellent condition; even though the key ring was rusty, the pink fur remained fluffy and smooth, spotless and without a speck of dust.
“This is mine!” Ling Yuexue said with a slight smile.
