Chapter 15 The Troublemaking Little Butler
Li Xu looked at Qiu Xianzhi in disbelief.
As far as he knew, Jing Yi's predictions were basically correct. Ning Jiang's fraud, Lao San's contract, and the criminals in Big Brother's company were all discovered by Jing Yi.
The error rate can be said to be zero.
But... he still found it hard to believe that his lover was a liar.
The love of childhood sweethearts turned out to be a deliberate deception in the end?
This made Li Xu a little bit unbearable.
Maybe, Butler Jing remembered it wrong?
I have a bad memory to begin with. Maybe I really recognized the wrong person and remembered the wrong thing this time. How could Qiu Xianzhi...
Li Xu swallowed hard, and with the last bit of hope, he looked at the housekeeper beside him who was looking down in a trance.
Jing Yi quickly sorted out his memories, gradually pulling out the short life of the second young master Li Xu from the bloody plot of the original novel.
[I remember it! ]
[Hiss... I seem to have remembered it wrongly. ]
Huh.
Li Xu's eyes lit up and he breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, fortunately, I remembered it wrong. He said that his gentle and kind-hearted Xinzhi could not be a liar...
[Qiu Xinzhi not only cheated, but also used Li Xu's private lounge in the company as a place to meet secretly, and had countless plays with the secretary. Last month, she asked the second young master to change a new Q·Q bouncy mattress on the grounds that the bed was too hard...]
[If I remember correctly, she should be pregnant now, and she is just waiting to get the money to fly abroad with the secretary, and the family of three will live a fairy-like life. ]
[As for the second young master of the Li family...]
Jing Yi looked at Li Xu sympathetically.
[Cuckold, raising children, giving money, pure injustice]
[Sure enough, love-brained people have never had a good ending since ancient times.]
Li Xu's figure swayed, and Li Wenzhao quickly helped him up, glancing at Jingyi.
Enough.
Stop scolding, it will break my defense.
At the end of the original novel, Li Xu went bankrupt and frustrated, and the Li family encountered a major crisis at the same time. Li Wenzhao was also overwhelmed. Fortunately, Li Xu finally found Qiu Xianzhi's whereabouts abroad and was about to recover the property and turn the tide.
However, the author of the stepmother suddenly came up with a brilliant idea.
With a plane crash, Li Xu's short life of more than 20 years ended in a sudden explosion.
...
Sure enough, the protagonist is the biological child, and the supporting roles are picked up.
Look at these poor little ones in the Li family, what kind of life they are living.
Even a poor reader like him feels so sorry for them.
Jing Yi opened his mouth: "Second Young Master, you..."
"Brother, I have something to go back to the company, I leave this to you." Li Xu's face suddenly turned pale, and in just a few minutes he seemed to be terminally ill and couldn't even walk steadily.
Jing Yi: ???
[I haven't said anything yet, why do you look so shocked? 】
Qiu Xinzhi, who had been silent the whole time, also had a seizure with him. When she heard that Li Xu was going back to the company, her face suddenly became strange and surprised, and she quickly grabbed Li Xu's wrist: "Ah Xu, why are you going to the company at this time? You're going to cut the cake right away."
Li Xu turned his head, his eyes hidden with sharpness.
He didn't want to slander someone's innocence until the last moment. If what Butler Jing said was true, then if he went back to the company now, he would just run into the secretary who stole the seal.
Li Xu didn't want to see this situation. He wanted to give himself and Qiu Xinzhi another chance.
"I'll be back soon." Li Xu didn't care about maintaining his demeanor, put down Qiu Xinzhi's hand, and strode out the door.
"Ah Xu... Ah Xu, wait a minute!" Qiu Xianzhi chased after him with a pale face.
"Ms. Qiu." Li Wenzhao called her, "Since you are here, why don't you eat the cake first?"
"No need... I have something else to do, let's go another day..." Qiu Xianzhi looked out the door. Li Xu's car had already left the garage and disappeared into the night in a blink of an eye.
Li Wenzhao said nothing, his cold eyes drifted down lightly, giving people a sense of oppression from a superior position.
His eyes moved, and the bodyguards scattered outside the banquet hall immediately understood, and collectively cast their eyes on Qiu Xianzhi, staring at him directly.
Qiu Xianzhi vaguely guessed something, and without Li Wenzhao's nod, she could not leave the Li family at all.
The evening gown was very tight fitting. She didn't even bring her cell phone, so she couldn't even send a message. She was so nervous that her fingers were clenched.
Jing Yi saw her nervousness.
It's not surprising. Her lover is still stealing in Li Xu's company. It would be strange if she wasn't anxious.
But there was one thing that Jing Yi found very strange.
[Why did the Second Young Master suddenly go to the company? I didn't even have time to hint at him. May I ask? ]
[You guys are making me look stupid by doing this, okay?]
The little housekeeper also has times when he makes random guesses without any clue. Li Wenzhao curled the corners of his lips imperceptibly. Silly
and stupid little housekeeper.
When will he realize that his inner voice has been leaked?
So far, Li Wenzhao has not found any real basis for eavesdropping on others' thoughts, nor does he know the source and limitations of Jing Yi's ability.
However, judging from the experience of the past few days, this overly young butler is still very useful.
At least he helped the Li family avoid death pits several times.
Even the mine sweeping master does not have such precision.
So Li Wenzhao can be sure that as long as the young butler stays by his side at all times, he can clear the bomb in time and restore peace to the Li family.
Tsk.
I'm in a good mood and want to drink.
Li Wenzhao chuckled and turned around to pick up the wine glass.
"Young Master, Young Master." The young butler beside him suddenly squeezed up and slapped his arm.
Li Wenzhao shook his wrist, and half a cup of liquid flew down, soaking from his thighs to the toes of his shoes: "..."
What a stupid little butler.
He still deserves a beating.
Jing Yi turned around and noticed a dark-colored leg of Li Wenzhao, "Oh my." Li
Wenzhao almost laughed out of anger, "It's me who's soaked, what about you?"
Jing Yi carefully said, "Make an apologetic sound."
Li Wenzhao: "..."
He shook the fabric against his leg, "Butler Jing, you need to be more calm."
Count carefully, how many troubles have you caused during your time at the Li family? You don't look like a butler.
Jing Yi stretched out a finger, "There's a reason for it."
Li Wenzhao: "?"
"Young Master." The finger pointed to the distance, "Mr. Qin is here."
In the crowd, Qin Wan, who had come to the Li family to discuss cooperation, was toasting and chatting with a few sisters. She was wearing an exquisite evening dress and had a gentle and beautiful expression.
Jing Yi whispered tentatively: "Aren't you going over?"
Li Wenzhao: "What should I do over there?"
Jing Yi pointed into the distance: "She likes you, and she is also very beautiful, and her face will bring good luck to her husband."
[Being with Qin Wan can avoid the calculations of the vicious official matchmaker. It's a very calculated deal.]
Li Wenzhao clenched his fingers and sneered: "When did Butler Jing become a matchmaker?"
Jing Yi shyly: "It's just a little hobby."
"..."
Li Wenzhao didn't want to talk nonsense with him, turned around and walked away with wet trousers.
Jing Yi did not give up and continued to sell: "Young Master, look at her again. I don't believe you have empty eyes."
"..." Li Wenzhao swallowed his anger and said: "Housekeeper Jing, go to the cloakroom and get me a set of clothes, and then send it to the dressing room."
Once you get busy, you won't have time to chat.
Jing Yi: "...Oh."
·

The Li family has a house specially used for entertaining outsiders. They are all in a manor, but the distance is far. It takes at least half an hour to walk back and forth.
So every time there is a banquet, the servants will prepare a set of clean clothes in the cloakroom of the lounge in case of emergency.
Jing Yi got lost in the hall for a few minutes before finding the entrance to the dressing room. In the transparent cabinet, a complete set of suits was packed in dust bags.
He took down the hanger together with the clothes, and walked to the next dressing room holding it. He
couldn't free his hands to open the door, and was afraid that the clothes would be squeezed into wrinkles, so Jing Yi simply held the door with his arms and quickly opened it.
Bang.
When the door opened, the dust bag was hit by the protruding buckle, scratching a hole, revealing the dark gray fabric inside.
"..."
It's broken.
What he was holding was not the door handle, but a knife, right?
Before Jing Yi could react, the dark gray fabric fell slowly, facing up, with a subtle arc in the middle.
"..."
Good, it's a big size.
Are the settings in your novel world so crazy?
Jing Yi rolled his eyes, and there was no one around, so he quickly picked up the things on the ground and stuffed them back into the drawer of the cloakroom.
After all, it is a public dressing room, which can be used by all the visiting guests. The floor must be dirty. A housekeeper like him who is conscientious and responsible will not let his employer wear dirty clothes.
Jing Yi held the remaining clothes and knocked on the door of the dressing room.
Click.
The door lock rang lightly, and Li Wenzhao, wearing a black shirt, appeared behind the door. He had taken off his coat, and his long fingers neatly lifted his bow tie. His chin was slightly raised with the movement, revealing his straight and sharp jawline. His posture was chic and casual.
"Young Master, the clothes are here." Jing Yi watched his movements intently. So
handsome.
He is worthy of being a villain.
Li Wenzhao took the clothes and closed the door: "Wait."
Jing Yi:?
[Waiting for what? ]
[I'm in a hurry to eat the cake? If you are late, even the cake crumbs will be gone.]
Inside the door, Li Wenzhao exhaled lightly.
The butler who deserved a beating had to be punished.
He took off his clothes and opened the things brought by the butler. After a while, a question mark slowly appeared on his head.
"Butler Jing," Li Wenzhao said to the outside of the door: "I asked you to deliver something, why are you short of weight?"
The butler's voice was a little strange: "This, this thing... shouldn't be needed, didn't you just wet your outer trousers?"
"..."
There was no sound in the locker room for a long time.
Jing Yi blinked twice and understood.
His slap was too harsh, and it seemed that innocent people were affected.
Jing Yi tried to speak: "Young Master, do you mind..." "
Shut up."
"Okay."
"..."
Li Wenzhao's eyebrows were throbbing with veins: "Go to the main house to get it. It's in the third cabinet on the left of the master bedroom's cloakroom."
After all, it was his own fault. This time Jing Yi didn't force him. He agreed and rushed to the main house.
He was still thinking about the cake that Li Xu hadn't cut. He walked quickly and hurriedly. When he was about to go out, he accidentally bumped into Li Mingzhi who was peeking at the door.
"Hiss..."
"Huh..."
Both of them were hurt.
"Housekeeper Jing, are you looking for money with your head buried?" Li Mingzhi covered his chest and rubbed it, "You almost knocked me apart."
Jing Yi was also hurt by the collision, pursed his lips and groaned, "Young Master, why are you out? Aren't you pretending to be sick?"
"I'm here to bring you something." Li Mingzhi pointed to the bandage on his head, "With the bandage, no one will find it. It's just that Doctor Yin asked me why there is so much mulberry juice on my head."
Jing Yi grinned and helped Li Mingzhi up. Noticing what was in his hand, Jing Yi's attention was immediately diverted, "Cake?"
"Hiss... yes." Li Mingzhi fell down but still held the cake steadily, "I specially reserved the most delicious piece for you, and it's also the biggest one, you should try it."
Jing Yi had been coveting this cake for a long time. He took it and forked a piece and put it into his mouth. The milk fragrance was overflowing and the mouth was full of sweetness. It was not the same as the cakes with creamer added on the market.
The products of the domineering president are really delicious! The novel is not deceiving me!
Jing Yi ate happily.
"There are also cupcakes just served over there, strawberry flavor, still warm, I'll take you to eat." Li Mingzhi said.
Jing Yi ran after him with a touching face: "Young Master, you are so good to me."
Li Mingzhi was greatly encouraged and walked faster: "Then let's get more and pack it for you. It's a midnight snack when you are hungry at night."
"Woo." Jing Yi sobbed with emotion.
He went to eat two small cakes.
Just two.
Then he immediately ran to the main house. By then, Li Wenzhao should have been dried, so he could just put on clean pants. Perfect.
Jing Yi pondered, and his steps towards the food were quick and hasty.
·

In a corner of the banquet hall, Jing Yi was absorbed in eating a small cake, with seven or eight wrapping papers scattered around his hands. Li
Mingzhi was packing his own things while looking around: "Hey, I don't know where my eldest brother went. Should I get a few for him..."
"Cough, cough cough cough cough..." Jing Yi's eyes widened suddenly, and the small cake choked into his trachea, making his face red.
"Butler Jing, are you okay?" Li Mingzhi was in a hurry: "Drink some water first."
"No, no, no... cough cough, I don't want to drink anymore..." Jing Yi stood up with difficulty and was about to run out.
Suddenly, Li Mingzhi's voice was heard: "Brother, you are here."
Jing Yi was stunned, petrified, panicked, OMG.
Impossible?
Jing Yi choked for a second and turned away in disbelief.
Li Wenzhao is here?
How did he come?
Li Wenzhao walked from the direction of the locker room, with a dark face and gnashing teeth.
Jing Yi was scared and confused.
But his eyes slid down uncontrollably... Huh?
Li Wenzhao: "..."
