Chapter 144 Never before have I encountered such a kind master as the young mistress.
Gu Yuheng: "Yes, there's really nothing I can hide from you."
He told Su Niannian the whole story.
Su Niannian then realized that everything was Shen Wanxi's doing.
She doesn't cause trouble, but she's not someone anyone can easily bully.
“Shen Wanxi kept causing me trouble. She brought this upon herself. She harmed others but did nothing to benefit herself. Going to the police station is the punishment she deserves.”
---
While Shen Li was on a business trip abroad, he received a call from home. He went out briefly, and Shen Wanxi ended up in the police station.
Moreover, even after Shen Qingdong used all his connections, he still couldn't get her out of the detention center.
By the time he finished his trip early and returned home, it was already five days after Shen Wanxi had been detained.
The atmosphere was somber as soon as I entered the house.
The servants dared not utter a sound, for fear of offending the lady.
Shen Li entered the room, put down his luggage, and without even taking a break, sat down in the study and started making phone calls everywhere.
Friends he used to have close relationships with in the police force either don't answer his calls or politely say they're on a business trip.
After searching around, not a single person dared to help him retrieve Shen Wanxi.
Lin Yin watched as he put down the phone with a dark expression.
"How is it? When will Wanxi be able to come out?"
Chen Li sat upright behind his desk, his lips pressed into a straight line. His face was already serious, but it also carried a hint of coldness. His silence made Lin Yin feel intimidated.
“I warned you all long ago not to provoke Gu Yuheng, and even more so not to touch Su Niannian, but none of you took my words seriously. You think you are nine-lived cat demons, fearlessly challenging Gu Yuheng’s bottom line again and again. Shen Wanxi has gone too far this time, and I can’t control her anymore.”
Lin Yin said incredulously, “Chen Li, what are you saying? Wanxi is just a young girl, what bad intentions could she have? You believe everything others say? Why are you siding with outsiders?”
Although Shen Li gave birth to a daughter like Shen Wanxi, who was a worthless wretch.
But he's considered reasonable in this family.
He snorted: "How much worse do you want her to be? Does she have to be a murderer and arsonist?"
Lin Yin was rebuked and fell silent for a moment.
She retorted, "Isn't Su Niannian fine? We just let her allergy pass, there's nothing seriously wrong with her, why are you making such a fuss about it? Wanxi suffered these past few days inside, which has long since made up for the allergy."
Shen Li looked at her with a gloomy expression: "Based on these few words of yours, let Shen Wanxi reflect on her actions inside."
After saying that, he got up and walked out.
Lin Yin reached out to grab him, but was pushed away by Chen Li without hesitation.
Watching Shen Li's departing figure, she called out, "Shen Li, don't come back after you leave. You actually favor an outsider and don't even care about your own daughter. I think Su Niannian is your daughter."
The only response she received was the sound of a car starting up in the yard.

Su Niannian was supposed to start her internship at the company this semester, but because she is pregnant, for safety reasons, she and Gu Yuheng discussed it and decided that she would take a leave of absence to rest at home and prepare for the baby's birth next year. Gu Yuheng will then arrange for her to start her internship at the company.
However, Gu Yuheng will communicate with the school and it will not affect Su Niannian's normal graduation.
This morning after breakfast, she had to go to the school. Her professor, who had been supervising her, called to tell her that she needed to go there to fill out some forms.
After Gu Yuheng left, Su Niannian also got dressed and prepared to go out.
"Ouch."
She walked to the front yard and was about to get into the car when she heard a cry of pain coming from the direction of the flower bed.
She looked up and saw the maid who usually tended the flower beds clenching her fingers and frowning slightly.
"What's wrong?" Su Niannian walked over and asked.
As soon as the maid saw Su Niannian approaching, she immediately said, "It's alright, young mistress. I accidentally poked a pebble while loosening the soil, and it's bleeding a little. I'll rinse it with water later."
Su Niannian noticed a bleeding cut on her finger.
I strongly disagree with what she said.
"You're bleeding. If you don't disinfect it, it could lead to an infection, which would be a real problem."
She called out to Aunt Chen, "Aunt Chen, please bring me the first-aid kit."
The maid was used to doing rough work, and she had her share of minor bumps and bruises, not to mention in the villa, even at home. She was used to these things.
And how could I possibly trouble the young mistress?
"Young Madam, no need, no need."
Su Niannian smiled gently at her: "It was just a small favor, you really don't need to feel embarrassed."
As they were talking.
Aunt Chen came over carrying a yellow medicine box.
Su Niannian took it, placed it on the flower bed, and then told Aunt Chen to go about her other business.
She opened the first-aid kit, took out an iodine swab, and disinfected the maid's wound.
A man walked towards the backyard.
Looking at the scene before me.
His feet seemed to be glued to the ground.
They stopped firmly in their tracks.
Aunt Chen saw him staring at her and said with a smile, "The young mistress is so kind-hearted. She has never treated us like servants, let alone mistreated us. I have worked in wealthy families for half my life and have seen all kinds of masters. A master as good as the young mistress is truly a rare find."
“You’ve been taking care of Pudding at the Xie family for a while now, and you haven’t been here with Pudding for long. You don’t know the young mistress well yet. Once you do, you definitely won’t want to go back to the Xie family.”
Aunt Chen said with a smile.
This man has always been Pudding's caretaker. Not long ago, after Xie Tingyan brought Pudding over, he came along to take care of Pudding's daily needs.
The man watched as Su Niannian lowered her eyes and carefully bandaged the maid's wound.
A complex emotion flashed across his face, but it was gone in an instant.
But his heart remained unsettled for a long time.
He stood in the cold winter wind, his hands clenched into fists at his sides, his emotions extremely complicated.
"Young Madam, the Master just called to ask where we are. He really thinks of you all the time." A girl with neat short hair said as she walked over.
She wasn't cold at all, wearing only a black sweatshirt in the dead of winter.
Su Niannian wrapped the maid with a bandage and told her not to get it wet, and to stop working and go back to her room to rest.
The maid thanked Su Niannian gratefully and left with a warm feeling in her heart.
Su Niannian then looked at the dashing girl.
Her lips twitched slightly: "Jian Ran, be careful Ah Heng hears this, or he won't pay you next month."
Gu Yuheng was worried that it would be inconvenient for Ali to follow Su Niannian, so he specially arranged for her to have a female bodyguard, which is the one in front of him.
Jian Ran didn't take it to heart: "You are the patriarch's darling, he wouldn't dare, he's afraid I'll run away halfway and abandon you."
Su Niannian: "......."
Jian Ran's gaze suddenly fell on the man standing not far away, as sharp as a dagger drawn from its sheath.
Shen Qingbei's hand subtly reached into his pocket.
"Who are you?" Jian Ran's expression turned serious, and she spoke in a cold voice, then stepped towards the man.
