Chapter 401 The Nangong Family... is About to Change
Upon hearing the maid's words, A-Chu's expression returned to calm.
She nodded, indicating that she understood.
The maid breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.
This Ninth Miss, who is said to have almost killed someone, is a hot potato. She was assigned this job because she was easy to bully when she first arrived.
The maid was terrified that something she said might upset Ah Chu, causing her to suddenly lash out and hurt her.
Judging from her appearance, she seems...too easy to bully?
He was probably confined in a mental hospital for three years and got scared of it.
Thinking this, the maid's slightly hunched back slowly straightened.
"Miss Jiu, shall I take you to your room first?"
Achu didn't say anything, but walked straight downstairs.
She didn't stop when she reached the second floor, and the maid quickly called out, "Miss Jiu! Your room is on the second floor!"
Ah Chu simply pretended not to hear.
She left the annex of the three-room building and had the driver take her back to the main building.
The driver didn't understand, but he did as instructed.
Half an hour after leaving the main building, A Chu returned and went directly to the study to see Old Master Nangong.
As soon as she saw him, she said, "Grandpa, there's no room for me in the third house. Can I stay in the main building?"
Ah Chu's brows were slightly furrowed. She was already extremely beautiful, and with her current thin figure, she looked pitiful.
Grandpa Nangong may be cold, but as he gets older, he does show some compassion for the younger generation.
Upon hearing Ah Chu's words, the old man frowned and asked, "What do you mean by 'there's no room for you anymore'?"
Achu sighed and said, "My sister has so many clothes and bags that she doesn't have anywhere to put them, so Mom decided to turn my room into a walk-in closet for her. I think they probably don't want me to come back..."
She lowered her head, looking weak and helpless.
The old man knew that the third wife and her husband favored their adopted daughter more.
However, he had no idea that the third wife and her husband were so biased.
His face darkened, and he looked even more serious and intimidating.
"Old Chen!"
Butler Chen Bo immediately appeared at the study door: "Master?"
"Arrange a room for Miss Jiu in the main building, and also assign her a personal maid."
"You can arrange the rest as you see fit."
Butler Chen Bo replied, "Yes, sir!"
He raised his eyes and looked at A Chu respectfully: "Miss Jiu, please come with me."
Achu looked at the old man first, her tearful eyes filled with emotion: "Thank you, Grandpa."
The old man waved his hand without saying a word.
Achu then turned slightly to face Uncle Chen, and said very politely, "Thank you for your trouble, Uncle Chen."
Uncle Chen bowed slightly, a standard smile on his face: "Miss Jiu, you're too kind."
Achu went with Uncle Chen to choose a room.
The main building is very large; it could house the entire Nangong family.
But the old man preferred quiet, so he only allowed them to get together for dinner once a week on Saturdays.
So, in the entire main building, apart from Old Master Nangong, the butler, and the servants, the only other person with the mental capacity of a five-year-old is Nangong Tianyue.
The old man lived on the fifth floor, and Nangong Tianyue lived on the fourth floor.
“If Second Brother lives on the fourth floor, then I’ll live on the fourth floor too,” A-Chu said to Uncle Chen.
Uncle Chen nodded: "Okay, Miss Jiu, do you have any other requirements regarding the style of interior design and furnishings?"
Achu shook her head, her smile obedient: "I have no requests, Uncle Chen can arrange it as he sees fit."
Looking at A-Chu's obedient and harmless appearance, Uncle Chen became even more respectful towards her.
Three years ago, Achu was someone you could see right through. Whether it was her timidity when she was first brought home or her hysteria later, it all showed her weakness.
The current Achu, seemingly obedient and harmless, is actually much more dangerous.
In the Nangong family, this was the only way she could maintain her position.
It's quite remarkable that the old man agreed to move into the main building.
Previously, the other families had also tried to move into the main building so that their grandchildren could develop a relationship with the old man, but they were all refused.
Chen Bo had a strange premonition that the Nangong family... was about to undergo a major change.
After choosing a room, Achu then selected a personal maid who looked to be about the same age as her and had a pretty face.
The old man told Uncle Chen to handle the rest, so Uncle Chen had a lot of new clothes and shoes sent to A-Chu according to her size.
Ah Chu chose the style that suited her and stayed.
Uncle Chen also hired a hairstylist to come to A Chu's home to trim her uneven hair.
An hour later, after taking a shower and drying her hair, Achu looked at herself in the mirror.
Wearing light-colored, comfortable loungewear, with short, ear-length hair and bangs covering her forehead, a hairstyle that really depends on one's looks, Achu pulls it off effortlessly.
With her delicate, doll-like features, this hairstyle makes her appear even more innocent and harmless.
But when she sheds her disguise and looks at you with her clear, black and white eyes, she exudes a dangerous aura.
Ah Chu looked at herself in the mirror and smiled.
She was very pleased with her new image.
Isn't Nangong Xueyao the best at disguising herself?
Unfortunately, she's learned it now too!
Thanks to Wen Zhiyu, she learned a lot in the virtual world.
Now, Achu is extremely eager to see those people—
S City Film and Television City.
Nangong Xueyao just finished filming a scene, still in her ancient costume.
She entered her private dressing room, and as soon as she sat down, she couldn't help but ask her assistant, Xiao Lu, who was standing next to her:
"Did she go back?"
Xiao Lu is Nangong Xueyao's personal maid, whom she brought from the Nangong family. She usually accompanies her everywhere.
She knew who the 'she' Nangong Xueyao was referring to, and immediately replied, "Miss Jiu has already gone back."
Nangong Xueyao curled her lips into a smile, her beautiful face filled with anticipation: "So, what will her reaction be when she sees that her room has been turned into my walk-in closet?"
Xiao Lu: "I heard that Miss Jiu is very angry."
Nangong Xueyao felt a surge of relief, but on her face she feigned helplessness: "It was my mother's decision, there's nothing I can do about it."
"I'll apologize to my sister when I get back."
"Oh, so does that mean you'll have to stay in the guest room for now?"
Standing behind Nangong Xueyao, Xiaolu hesitated, "This..."
Nangong Xueyao grew impatient, and her face turned cold.
Upon seeing this, Xiaolu quickly said, "Miss Jiu did not stay in the guest room of the third room, but went to the main building. It is said that the master agreed to let her stay in the main building."
Nangong Xueyao's face darkened instantly.
"What did you say?! Grandpa actually agreed to let her live in the main building?!"
In Nangong Xueyao's imagination, when Achu returned and saw that her room had been turned into her walk-in closet, she would definitely be furious and then move into the guest room with a heart full of resentment.
When Mom and Dad go back, I'll make a scene with them just like I did three years ago.
Nangong Xueyao was originally very confident.
She could drive Achu crazy three years ago, and she can do the same three years later.
But she never expected that Ah Chu would do something completely different this time!
Nangong Xueyao's eyes flickered quickly before she finally made up her mind: "Go and ask the director for leave for me. I need to go home now!"
Xiaolu went there immediately.
The director over there had become numb to Nangong Xueyao's frequent requests for leave.
Since they brought their own funding to the production, all I could do was wave my hand and agree to their leave request.
While Nangong Xueyao was rushing back to the Nangong family home, Achu was leisurely sitting in the small hall on the third floor, scrolling through her phone and quickly absorbing news from the outside world.
A pleasant male voice rang out from the side: "Who are you?"
