Chapter 14 The Deserving Little Housekeeper
Jing Yi spent a few days in Li's house.
Paid vacation and a full ten taels of silver a month were enough for him to be arrogant for a long time.
So, Jing Yi, who had just come here, always found ways to go out after completing his job as a housekeeper, and spent a lot of money with his bulging wallet - milk tea with toppings and milk cap, small cakes freshly baked, buses not taken, taxis without air conditioning.
This was the only extravagant means the poor little guy could think of.
After a few days of being so carefree, Li's family welcomed a lively banquet.
The second young master Li Xu's birthday was late but it came.
On the day of the banquet, Jing Yi, the housekeeper, got up early. The venue layout, dishes arrangement, and invitation letter distribution had all been handled by the Li family's specialists. Jing Yi only needed to patrol like a foreman, and his housekeeper duties would be completed.
80,000 yuan is really easy to make.
On the night of the banquet, the Li family was packed with guests.
Before bankruptcy, the Li family was a well-known and prestigious family in the world of this novel. In the author's words, [Li Wenzhao took charge of the Li family consortium at the age of 18. It only took him ten years to push the Li family to an unprecedented peak and establish his own business empire.]
The domineering president novel starts with an empire.
If you don't have a title that impresses you, you'd be embarrassed to go out.
At the birthday party of the second son of the Li family, all the famous people in the novel world came, luxury cars gathered, everyone was wearing jewels, and all kinds of evening gowns were dazzling.
In the eyes of others, these people represent the strongest wealth in the novel world, but in Jingyi's eyes, no matter how rich and powerful these people are, they are just NPCs, just cannon fodder created by the original author to overthrow the Li family.
The party was about to start, and Jingyi found a corner to stay and look at the whole place, trying to find the troublemakers who tried to harm the Li family. He also brought some melon seeds to chew them for fear of being bored.
"Butler Jing." Li Mingzhi searched for a long time and finally found Jing Yi. He took a small stool and sat down beside him. "You are hiding here. I have been looking for you for a long time."
Jing Yi asked while eating melon seeds: "Why are you looking for me?"
What else can he do? Of course, he is eating melons.
The silent and steady second brother can actually do something stupid. He is interested in the good feelings of his younger brother.
"The banquet is too boring. I want to find you to relieve my boredom." Li Mingzhi also grabbed a handful of melon seeds: "You always run out these days. I can't find you. What did you run out for?"
He moved chairs, tables and melon seeds. Jing Yi was a little hot at this moment. He pulled his collar and said casually, "It's hot at home, let's go out to avoid the heat."
"..." Li Mingzhi glanced at the 20-degree constant temperature air conditioner above his head, "Is it still hot now?"
Jing Yi sighed, "It's not hot anymore, it will cool down naturally after the firewood is used up."
Li Mingzhi: "..."
"Look, young master, the banquet has begun." Li Mingzhi wanted to say something, but Jing Yi patted his hand, looked far away through the chaotic crowd, and raised his chin.
All the invited guests have arrived, distributed in various directions of the banquet hall, and many people are congratulating Li Xu.
After a brief greeting, Li Xu found Li Ting, who was chatting with a friend in a corner, and asked, "The guests are all here, where are Manager Jing's family?"
"Don't worry, second brother." Li Ting took a sip of red wine elegantly, "He's in that corner, Mingzhi is with him."
Li Xu picked up the wine glass and took a sip, his eyes inadvertently swept across a hidden corner of the hall, and sure enough, he saw Jing Yi and Li Mingzhi huddled together and whispering.
"How can I not be anxious?" Li Ting loosened his tie and lowered his voice: "This is related to the life and death of the company."
He said in a heavy tone: "Haven't you seen that big brother has been very busy these past two days? I heard that hundreds of tons of counterfeit building materials were seized in Nanfeng Port, and Director Zhang and Director Li were also arrested for embezzling public funds and bribery. Even big brother, who is so calm and steady, has made mistakes. My situation... must be more serious."
Li Ting narrowed his eyes and gently turned the glass. The dark red liquid flowed in the high-quality glass with a sharp color.
"Don't worry, as long as Butler Jing can find the person who hurt you, second brother, I will make him pay a thousand times the price."
Li Xu drank the wine in his glass nervously, and looked at the time, "Please keep an eye on her for me. Your sister-in-law is here, I'll go pick her up."
A woman in a silver dress stood at the gate. Her makeup was exquisite and beautiful. The tube top design revealed her fair skin, and the sapphire on her clavicle was particularly dazzling.
"Ah Xu." The woman called softly.
Li Xu, who was always cold and taciturn, rarely showed a gentle look, "You're here."
The woman nodded, looking around, "It's so lively tonight."
Li Xu chuckled, motioned the woman to hold his arm, and his expression was sweet, "Let's go, I'll take you to meet my eldest brother and younger brother."
The woman responded softly.
In the corner, Jing Yi happened to see this scene, and a flash of memory suddenly flashed through his mind, but before he could grasp the memory carefully, he was interrupted by the loud voice of the person who suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Li Mingwei?"
Jing Yi raised his eyes, and in front of him stood a colorful boy with blue eyeshadow, red fingers, and yellow hair, which made Jing Yi dazzled.
Where did Hua Kongque come from?
"I heard that you were cheated by a man." Hua Kongque chewed gum in a slovenly manner, looking up and down at Li Mingwei, and her extended false eyelashes fluttered with exaggerated movements.
"The other party is a habitual liar. Don't you always say that you are smart? Why do you still fall into the trap? Tsk tsk, you can even eat that kind of person. Is it because he has too many tricks and can satisfy you very well?" Li
Mingzhi's face darkened.
Hua Kongque sneered contemptuously. The young master of the Li family is still so easy to bully. He doesn't fight back when he is beaten or scolded, and he doesn't dare to complain to his family. He feels itchy all over if he doesn't bully him for a day.
He sneered and was about to increase the intensity of his ridicule when his eyes suddenly blurred and the next second, he felt a sharp pain above his eyelids.
"Ah!"
The peacock screamed: "What are you doing?!"
"It turns out they are fake." Jing Yi pinched the false eyelashes that were longer than his nails and shook them, saying with disgust: "They are so heavy, don't you feel tired? Fan our young master so he won't catch a cold."
Jing Yi remembered.
In the original story, Li Mingzhi had a mortal enemy who loved to be greeted by colorful things. He couldn't remember the name, but he remembered that this peacock was one of the accomplices in the illegal organ trade.
When Li Mingzhi was in trouble and sold to the stock exchange by Ning Jiang, Hua Kongque beat and humiliated him every day, causing Li Mingzhi to attempt suicide several times. At the end of his life, he was sent to the operating table and became an empty corpse.
[Son of a bitch!]
[Why do you sell organs when you can sell anything else? Why do you sell sluts when you can sell anything else! Meeting me today is your retribution!]
Jing Yi was really angry.
The text was cold, and the ending of all the members of the Li family dying was diluted in the pleasure of the protagonists' counterattack. I didn't think it was unreasonable when I was following the story, but now that I saw it with my own eyes, Jing Yi felt uncomfortable all over.
"Fuck you..." Hua Kongque was so angry that he swore. It didn't hurt, but he was scared by Jing Yi's lightning-fast movements.
Jing Yi pursed his lips and was about to give him another electric shock when he heard a voice beside him.
"What's going on?"
Li Wenzhao, with a cold look on his face, walked out from the crowd.
Jing Yi's eyebrows jumped, and he quickly covered Li Mingwei's forehead and turned the tables: "Why did you hit him? Is the young master okay?"
Peacock: ...Shit?
Jing Yi covered Li Mingwei's forehead as if he was holding a bunch of fragile glass flowers: "Oh, it's bleeding, Aunt Fang, please ask the family doctor to come to the emergency!" Li
Wenzhao's cold eyes swept over him indifferently.
Hua Kongque was so nervous that his back straightened up a lot: "It's not me, I didn't hit him, really, everyone was watching, I really didn't hit him!"
"Hiss..." At this time, Li Mingzhi finally reacted from the chaos and fainted on Jing Yi's shoulder softly: "Butler Jing, my head hurts so much."
Jing Yi turned his head and said: "Look, our young master hit him."
The guests began to discuss in a low voice.
Hua Kongque said: "I didn't touch him at all. You said I hurt someone. Do you dare to let go of your hand and show the wound? If Li Mingzhi is not injured today, I will make you pay!"
Hua Kongque pulled Jing Yi's arm off in a rage.
"Huh..."
"Yo..."
"Hiss..."
The guests took a breath of cool air at the same time.
Li Mingzhi's forehead was red and purple, and red liquid was still flowing down from the center. His head was really broken and bloody.
"You are so cruel."
"You come to our house at this time, you don't take the Li family seriously."
"This is really a loud slap in the face to the Li family."
"The Hua family has offended them badly."
Jing Yi looked at the crowd suspiciously. Hua Kongque really believed in Hua?
Hua Kongque's face turned pale and he was so angry that he couldn't speak.
Li Wenzhao was also stunned.
Jing Yi tried his best to play the role of a housekeeper. He supported the fainted Li Mingzhi and boldly approached Li Wenzhao: "Young Master, I think this matter can't be let go like this, what do you think?"
[Look at my eyes, look at my eyes! ]
[This man is a bad guy! The mastermind and accomplice of your brother Yaozi! Catch him! Arrest him! Revenge him! 】
【It’s dark, the bastard has come to bully the family, it’s time to make the Hua family bankrupt, young master!!!】
Li Wenzhao lowered his eyes and stared at the anxious eyes of the young housekeeper. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly felt a poke in his lower back.
"..." As he
was about to speak, he was poked again.
"..."
In a corner where no one could see, Jing Yi’s fingers boldly poked the villain’s waist repeatedly, once, twice, three or four times, each time more powerful than the last.
Li Wenzhao felt his extreme urgency, because in addition to the drilling-like poking, there was also the sharp banging of the young housekeeper in his ears——
【Ahhhhhhhhhh, isn’t my expression obvious? Why doesn’t he react at all?】
【Is he wearing too thick clothes and not feeling it? 】
【Save my life, it's another day when I miss the golden finger! 】
Li Wenzhao: "..."
Did you give me a chance to speak before you explode!
"Brother, leave this to me." Li Ting squeezed through the crowd and approached, grabbed Hua Kongque's shoulder, and smiled: "I'll have a good talk with him."
Li Wenzhao grabbed the hand that was piercing behind him, "... Okay! Go ahead."
Jing Yi froze, the warm and dry upper palm tightly wrapped around his thin wrist bone, the broad touch made his heart tighten, and he felt a sense of powerlessness of being controlled for no reason.
He didn't dare to move again.
Hua Kongque was taken away by Li Ting with a pale face, and the wonderful banquet continued.
Li Mingzhi pretended to be sick and was not suitable to stay at the scene. Jing Yi originally wanted to escape with the injured, but was stopped by Li Wenzhao.
Jing Yi looked like a competent housekeeper: "Young Master, don't stop me, I want to see if the young master is seriously injured."
Li Wenzhao sneered: "Really? I thought housekeeper Jing was going to see how deep the well he just drilled is."
He held the thin wrist, how could he have such a strong force to poke someone? !
Jing Yi: "..."
He smiled embarrassedly: "Sorry, young master, I have to make up my mind in an emergency."
[I am doing this for the good of the Li family, do you have the nerve to punish me? ]
Li Wenzhao took a deep breath: "Don't run around, just stay here."
Jing Yi: "Why?"
Li Wenzhao rubbed his lower back: "Give it to me..."
"Rub it?" Jing Yi stretched out his hand.
Snap.
Li Wenzhao slapped away his pretentious claws: "Pour the wine."
"..."
[Why didn't you say so earlier]
[Just pour the wine, why are you rubbing my waist? The test point is so biased that even gods can't answer it]
[But it still feels good, a slim and smooth waist, I don't know if it would be so charming if it was put outside...] Li
Wenzhao couldn't bear it any longer: "Butler Jing!"
Jing Yi raised his face blankly: "Huh?"
[What's wrong again? ]
[I didn't cause any trouble, did I? How come he's almost turned himself into a pufferfish?]
Li Wenzhao gritted his teeth: "...pour the wine."
"Oh."
Jingyi muttered to himself as he went to get the decanter. The thing was a bit heavy. He raised his hands and placed them on the edge of Li Wenzhao's cup. He pushed hard and the wine rolled out from the bottom -
Li Wenzhao only felt his palms sink, and then it burst.
The cup was full and a lot of it overflowed.
"..."
Jingyi was startled and subconsciously opened his mouth to get close to the cup, wanting to sip it. Suddenly, he felt a cold gaze scraping across his cheek.
Oops, it's a habit.
Jingyi came to his senses and retracted his pretentious neck: "You sip, you sip, you sip it yourself."
Li Wenzhao: "..."
The little butler who deserves a beating.
Just when the atmosphere was getting cold, Li Xu came over with a beautiful girl in a sweet voice, "Brother, Butler Jing, what are you doing..."
His eyes fell on the full wine glasses.
Li Xu chose his words carefully: "...thirsty?"
So thirsty?
"..." Li Wenzhao exhaled lightly and put the wine glass in the hand of a passing servant, "Nothing, do you want to cut the cake?"
"Yeah." Li Xu nodded.
The kitchen brought out a fresh and sweet double cake, with a gorgeous shape, a mixture of fruit and cream, forming the unique sweet fragrance of the cake.
Jing Yi swallowed his saliva.
[This is the domineering boss's cake, it must have its special features, right? 】
【Smells so good】
【How can I get a small piece...】
"Butler Jing." Li Xu said, "Today is my birthday, you can eat the cake with me."
Jing Yi's eyes lit up, "Thank you, Second Young Master!"
【Wuwuwuwu Second Young Master is such a good man! 】
Jing Yi was staring at the cake and swallowing his saliva, and Li Xu pulled the girl beside him and whispered, "Brother, this is my girlfriend, Qiu Xinzhi, who I mentioned to you before. Let me introduce her to you today."
"Xinzhi, this is my brother..."
【What the hell? ? ? 】
There was a bang in my ears.
Li Wen Zhaohe Li Xu's ears were almost deaf.
... What happened again?
【Qiu, Qiu Xinzhi!!! 】
Li Xu's expression changed.
[I remember now. This man is the biggest stumbling block in Li Xu's life and one of the causes of Li family's misery]
[Tsk, the second young master looks handsome, but unfortunately he is a fool. Qiu Xianzhi actually doesn't love him, he just wants his money. He has colluded with the secretary in private and secretly transferred his assets. I estimate that it is almost emptied now...]
"..."
The second young master stumbled and almost fell into the cake that was more than one meter high.
