Yi Mu anxiously asked Ye Jianglin if the housekeeper had been settled. Had he really been thrown into a mental hospital?
Looking at his anxious face and recalling the butler's attitude, Ye Jianglin felt a chill for Yi Mu.
He told Yi Mu not to worry, that the 200-square-meter apartment was fully furnished, with servants to take care of him, and that he wouldn't have to worry about the rest of his life.
Yi Mu then asked, "Where is the house? I'd like to visit her sometime."
Ye Jianglin was afraid that the housekeeper would speak ill of Yi Mu again, so he didn't want to tell him.
Yi Mu sighed softly, "No matter what, she raised me for over twenty years, so I can't hold a grudge against her."
Ye Jianglin then gave Yi Mu a key to the apartment.
The next day, Yi Mu drove his newly bought car to the apartment building that Ye Jianglin had mentioned.
I heard it's an apartment building that just opened this year, and it's full of wealthy people with some assets.
The community has complete facilities, so it should be very comfortable to live there.
Yi Mu took the elevator up. When the elevator doors opened, a middle-aged woman with a look of annoyance walked in while talking on the phone.
In the instant they passed each other, Yi Mu heard the woman complaining on the phone.
"If the salary wasn't three times higher than other jobs, I really wouldn't have taken this job. The woman at this place is a complete lunatic..."
The elevator doors closed, and the woman's voice abruptly stopped.
Yi Mu stood in front of the door, pointed the keyhole at the doorway, opened it, and went inside.
The butler lay on the floor like a dead fish, repeatedly tugging at the blanket with his hands, muttering something unintelligible.
Yi Mu walked over to her, squatted down, smiled, and asked softly, "Mom, are you alright?"
The butler slowly raised his eyes, and the moment he saw him, he screamed and ran away.
"Get out of here! You little beast, get out of here!"
Yi Mu watched her hide in the bedroom, slammed the door shut, and stood up expressionlessly.
He spent the entire afternoon there.
Where would you keep the house key?
Under the TV cabinet? No.
Entryway? No.
Under the coffee table? Oh, so that's where it is.
There were more than a dozen keys in total, and Yi Mu tried them one by one.
Finally, the key was turned and the door was opened.
He rudely pushed the door open, and the butler cowered by the bed, trembling.
"Don't come any closer! Don't come any closer!"
Yi Mu took a Walkman out of his pocket and turned it on.
Soothing music calms the soul.
Yi Mu sat down next to the housekeeper and smiled gently at her: "Mom, what do you think I'm going to do?"
You raised me for so many years, even if I were an animal, I wouldn't lay a hand on you, wouldn't you agree?
The butler removed his hand from his face and looked at Yi Mu with fear and unease.
The music from the portable music player flows gently like a mountain stream, pleasant and melodious.
The butler's eyes gradually brightened.
She felt the music was very familiar, as if she had heard it many years ago.
As she listened, she couldn't help but laugh, cupping her cheeks like a girl in the throes of first love.
Yi Mu smiled and shoved the Walkman into the butler's hand.
The butler glanced at him and gripped the Walkman tightly.
“This is the music that my father liked the most when he was young. I thought you would like it too, so I got it from your wife.”
The music, which had been playing for two consecutive times, suddenly stopped and crackled. The butler patted the small object hard.
Suddenly, a male voice rang out.
The butler was startled and almost dropped his Walkman.
But soon she gripped the Walkman tightly and covered it with her ear, trying to hear the man's voice more clearly.
The man's voice was clear and melodious as he recited a poem, full of emotion.
As the butler listened to the voice from the past, tears welled in his eyes, and his voice trembled as he called out "Young Master" again and again.
A cold smile slowly crept onto Yi Mu's lips.
