"Are you mute or dead? Can't you speak?" Seeing the servant remain silent, just keeping her head down and looking somewhat frightened, Yin Yue Rong felt even more disgusted.
She hated these kinds of weak and effeminate women the most; they loved using that image to bewitch men. A year ago, she'd seen Han De keeping a mistress—wasn't that the type? Her expression towards the new maid instantly turned even more hostile. What was wrong with the housekeeper? Didn't she know that servants under forty weren't allowed in the house? How could she be so incompetent?
The new maid said somewhat cautiously, "I... I'll make up for it."
Hearing the maid's words, Yin Yuerong's disdain deepened. She looked at her with contempt and said, "Pay up? Do you think this is a cheap item that costs 2 yuan a piece on the street? Can you afford to pay for it? Or are you planning to sell yourself to pay for it? Look at the few pounds of flesh on your body, which man would want you?"
The maid bit her lip, her watery eyes slightly reddening. How could they say that to her? It was too much. She bit her lip tightly, lowered her head slightly, her clear eyes red and aggrieved.
The old servants hiding behind the kitchen shook their heads with some sympathy at the sight, but none of them went up to say anything.
"Madam, please don't say that. You're going too far with your words." In the end, the new maid still managed to say those words.
"You dare talk back? Let me tell you, in my house, it's not just a matter of saying a few words. Even if I beat you half to death, no one would care. It seems I have to teach you a lesson so you won't know who's in charge here." Yin Yuerong had already run into some gossipy ladies at the mall earlier that day, who were mocking her son's video of having sex with a woman at his wedding banquet, which made her so angry that she returned home without buying anything. Now, seeing the new maid's cautious demeanor, she was even more annoyed. Seeing this woman dare to talk back, she didn't hesitate to raise her arm and slap her across the face.
The maid closed her eyes, somewhat resigned. Those words had exhausted all her courage, and now she dared not defy the mistress's wrath any longer.
The expected pain didn't come. The new maid quietly opened her eyes and saw a handsome man in a black suit with a gentle smile stopping Yin Yue Rong's hand, which was about to strike her.
Who is this person? They have such a beautiful smile and are so good-looking.
"Mom, why bother arguing with a servant? Getting angry too much will make you age faster," Han Wenlei said to Yin Yuerong with a smile and refined manners. Even when speaking to his mother, he maintained a gentle and courteous demeanor.
"It's all because of these useless things. They can even break a cup. They're just trying to make me angry." Yin Yuerong's anger subsided when she saw her son, and she touched the corner of her eye. She only had this one son, whom she had doted on since he was little, so she couldn't bear to show him even the slightest displeasure.
"Don't be angry, our son will order you an even better one later." Han Wenlei looked at the new maid who was still stubbornly standing there like a doorman, and couldn't help but smile slightly. Then he said gently, "Don't just stand there, go and clean this place up."
"Oh, oh, oh..." The new maid finally realized what was happening, blushed a little, and ran away embarrassedly.
