Chapter 15 Nian Nian is the mistress of the villa
The plump maid glanced at Su Niannian with disdain.
Then I had to get around her and make a phone call.
Su Niannian stepped forward, blocking her path.
Compared to the plump maid, she looked like an underdeveloped kitten.
"Don't wrong me. I heard Li Ma ask you if you wanted a back brace. Obviously, this back brace was one that Grandma didn't want, so I went to pick it up."
The plump maid reached out and pushed Su Niannian. Her figure was like a small mountain, and Su Niannian almost stumbled from the push. Fortunately, she grabbed the handrail of the stairs and did not fall.
"What evidence do you have that we said those things? I never heard Li Ma ask me privately if I needed a back brace."
Su Niannian's face immediately lost all color.
If she didn't record the conversation, would the old lady believe her?
Will they think she's a liar and want to kick her out?
The plump maid smiled smugly: "How about this, as long as you clear the weeds in the backyard for me, I won't report you to the old lady."
Su Niannian has a gentle personality and some social anxiety; she is not someone who can be easily manipulated.
"Why should I ask you to do my job? Sue me if you want."
After saying that, he was about to walk past her upstairs.
The plump maid said calmly, "Then I'll tell the old lady later that your marriage with the master is a sham."
I really don't know what Mr. Gu was thinking.
She walks around in front of him every day, but he acts like he's blind, completely ignoring her existence. Instead, he goes out and finds some skinny guy to come back and annoy her.
She disliked the little vixen from the very first day Su Niannian entered the house.
I'm determined to teach her a lesson while my husband's not home today.
Upon hearing her words, Su Niannian suddenly stopped in her tracks, turned around, and unconsciously clenched her fingertips tightly.
"Don't talk nonsense."
The plump maid said, "I heard your conversation with the master that day. You got married to deceive the old lady. What decent family would have a couple who sleep in separate rooms after getting married?"
"As long as you do the work for me, I won't report you, and I'll pretend I don't know anything about the back brace."
Su Niannian's heart skipped a beat, and a sense of panic welled up inside her. If Old Madam Gu found out that she was an imposter, she would definitely make Mr. Gu divorce her and then kick her out of the house. In that case, there would be no way to pay for her grandmother's surgery.
It's just weeding, isn't it?
She has plenty of strength and isn't afraid of hardship.
"I'll go pull it out."
Even under the shade of the trees, it wasn't very cool around two or three in the afternoon, as sunlight streamed through the gaps in the leaves and onto the ground.
Su Niannian changed into her old clothes and found a straw hat in the storage room. It was a bit big for her, but she could still wear it. Otherwise, the sunlight would be too bright and she wouldn't be able to see anything.
After yesterday's rain, the grass has grown taller, and its roots are deeply embedded in the soil. Although the weed leaves are very thin, it takes a lot of effort to pull them out.
If you don't control the force well, you might accidentally pull the grass blades and end up sitting down due to inertia.
Su Niannian rubbed her sore bottom, thinking that she was lucky to have the foresight to change into her old clothes, otherwise all the clothes Gu Yuheng bought would have been dirty.
Gu Yuheng may not feel sorry for her, but she does.
The sound of a car parking could be heard from the front yard.
Gu Yuheng, wearing frameless glasses, stepped out of the Maybach.
He went home to retrieve some documents, but when he got to the villa, he couldn't find Su Niannian.
Based on his observations over the past few days, he knew that Su Niannian usually stayed at home and had nowhere to go. Moreover, this place was in a remote location, and she would have to ask a driver to take her out.
Meanwhile, the family's driver was at home.
He summoned a servant and asked, "Where is Su Niannian?"
The plump maid stammered for a long time without saying a word.
Gu Yuheng realized something was wrong and frowned: "Speak."
His sudden change in expression startled the plump maid, who stammered, "In the backyard..."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yuheng immediately walked straight to the backyard.
The backyard was filled with ginkgo trees, and amidst the lush greenery, a petite figure was surrounded by the towering trees, diligently picking at the grass with her head down.
A pile of weeds had already accumulated at her feet.
Su Niannian was huffing and puffing as she pulled weeds when suddenly a large, dry hand grasped her wrist.
She looked up and saw Gu Yuheng dressed in a suit.
Gu Yuheng asked in a deep voice, "What are you doing on such a hot day?"
Su Niannian's face flushed red, and her forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat. She whispered, "Pulling weeds..."
Gu Yuheng's brows furrowed even more deeply. Seeing Su Niannian weeding under the scorching sun, he felt a tightness in his chest, which shattered his pride in his composure.
He realized his tone was a bit harsh and immediately softened it.
"Stop pulling it out, come back inside with me."
Su Niannian was pulled up from the ground by him, and stood there hesitantly, unwilling to move.
"Mr. Gu."
Gu Yuheng was a shrewd and calculating manipulator in the business world. Without Su Niannian saying anything, he already understood the general situation.
"Did Zhang Mei ask you to pull it out?"
Su Niannian nodded: "She knows that our marriage was fake and we were just fooling Grandma."
Gu Yuheng showed no sign of panic, remaining calm as ever: "Don't worry, I'll handle it."
When the plump maid saw Gu Yuheng leading Su Niannian in, she hurried over, intending to preemptively accuse him.
"Sir, this Miss Su is dishonest; she's been secretly stealing things from your house behind your back."
As soon as she finished speaking, she felt the air freeze.
Gu Yuheng's face was terribly gloomy. He didn't ask what it was, but said directly.
“Niannian is the mistress of this villa. Everything in the villa belongs to her. She can take whatever she wants. How dare you, a mere servant, falsely accuse my wife of stealing?”
Hearing Gu Yuheng defend her like this, Su Niannian couldn't help but look at him.
His expression was cold and indifferent, his gaze, devoid of warmth, was extremely oppressive as he looked at Zhang Mei.
Zhang Mei felt a chill run down her spine under his gaze, and a cold sweat broke out in the air-conditioned room.
She even tried to sow discord: "Sir, you've really misunderstood me. I did this to keep an eye on your house. I know you and Miss Su are just putting on an act, but you've brought someone you don't know home. What if something important is stolen one day? That's why I'm not afraid of being blamed by you. I'm having Miss Su pull weeds in the backyard to reflect on her actions."
