Su Qingci settled into the Meng family's home, and for the next few days, she had a very leisurely life. Apart from not being able to go out freely, she could still walk around the multi-story villa and the front and back yards of the house as she pleased.
Meng Bai's cold was very serious, and he even developed a high fever the next day, which worried Su Qingci a lot. She wanted to make soup for him and take good care of him.
The housekeeper at home is like a mother, but she seems afraid that my daughter will take my job. She is very wary of my daughter and doesn't let her get involved at all.
So, with nothing to do, Su Qingci started to get involved with Yu Shengchun.
Yu Shengchun was an aloof person to begin with, and he found this chattering woman extremely annoying.
But no matter how he treated her, Su Qingci did not back down.
"Brother Yu, how long have you been following Master Meng? Do you still have family?"
“Brother Yu, I’ve heard Yuzhen talk about your situation. Actually, my situation is similar to yours, so I understand your feelings the best.”
“If I hadn’t been unable to make a living in Hunan, I wouldn’t have traveled all this way to seek refuge with my cousin.”
"Actually, my cousin isn't my biological cousin, but a distant cousin. My mom told me that if I couldn't go on living, I should come to my cousin, and he would definitely treat me well!"
"Brother Yu, do you think people like us shouldn't be alive? But I haven't done anything wrong, and I can't control my birth..."
Su Qingci kept talking nonstop, and Yu Shengchun's expression gradually softened from its initial coldness.
"It's not your fault, it's the fault of this world!"
Su Qingci's eyes lit up; this taciturn guy had finally started talking to her.
"Fortunately, my cousin treats me very well. He treats me the same as my cousin Yuzhen in terms of food, clothing, and daily necessities!"
"What a pity~", Su Qingci said, her whole demeanor dimming.
Yu Shengchun looked up at Su Qingci and saw her squatting at the door with her head down in silence. He opened his mouth as if to say something, but didn't say anything.
Everyone has their own destiny. He doesn't even know what his own fate will be, so he doesn't have the extra energy to care about others.
For the next two days, Su Qingci ate and drank as usual, and would throw herself into Meng Bai's arms whenever she felt like it, as if she had already resigned herself to her fate and entrusted her whole life to this man.
Meng Bai's expression grew increasingly grim. He went to the hospital for checkups for two or three consecutive days, and later even seemed to be avoiding Su Qingci.
Faced with Meng Bai's coldness, Su Qingci appeared worried about her future life and situation.
"Brother Yu, Master Meng...Does Master Meng not like me anymore?"
"Brother Yu, please give me some advice since our fates are similar. My brother wants me to come and take care of Master Meng. I don't know what he means. You've been with Master Meng for so many years. What happened to girls like me in the past?"
Will I be kicked out?
Yu Shengchun coldly replied, "No!"
Those who weren't kicked out in the past were always carried out!
"Why?"
Yu Shengchun was stunned. Su Qingci seemed to suddenly realize something, quickly covered her mouth, and stared wide-eyed in panic.
Yu Shengchun's eyes turned cold. "You... speak English?"
Su Qingci looked around in alarm and waved her hand at Yu Shengchun, "You, you mustn't tell anyone."
"I didn't mean to. I just let my guard down for a moment in front of you. Please don't tell anyone!"
Seeing that Yu Shengchun remained silent, Su Qingci became even more anxious. "You absolutely mustn't tell anyone. Before, some members of our village were arrested because books with English in them were found in their homes. If people find out, then... I'll be in big trouble..."
"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone!"
Because Su Qingci accidentally revealed that she could speak English, Yu Shengchun's wariness towards her actually lessened considerably.
He had previously suspected that Su Qingci had inquired about his background and was using this as an excuse to get closer to him, but now that he thought about it, perhaps what she said might actually be true.
"For people like us, if we want to live, or even live a decent life, the only way is to try our best to be useful!"
Su Qingci looked at Yu Shengchun with a mixture of understanding and confusion. "Make yourself useful?"
Just as the two were looking at each other, the sound of a car screeching to a halt came from outside.
"Master Meng is back?"
Su Qingci ran to the door to greet him with a joyful expression, "Brother Meng~"
Meng Bai looked disgusted and ignored Su Qingci, striding towards the living room.
Su Qingci looked at the several men following behind him and quickly followed, puzzled. "Brother Meng, what's wrong? Why are so many people at your house?"
Yu Shengchun put down the map in his hand, walked over, and took Meng Bai's trench coat from her and hung it on the coat rack next to her.
The kind mother was very perceptive; she lowered her head and served hot tea, and also pulled Su Qingci away.
Meng Bai leaned back on the sofa. "Sheng Chun, was there something you didn't tell me when the goods were put into the warehouse?"
A dark glint flashed in Yu Shengchun's eyes. "Found a fly, but it's been dealt with!"
Meng Bai's voice turned cold, "Why didn't you tell me about something this big?"
Yu Shengchun lowered his head and said, "I didn't want to disturb Master Meng's mood at the dinner table that day, and you weren't feeling well afterwards. I thought that since it had already been resolved, I didn't want to trouble you."
Meng Bai kicked the coffee table in front of him, and with a crash, tea spilled everywhere.
"Resolved? Are you sure you've resolved it?"
"If it weren't for Ah Biao's vigilance today, they would have already infiltrated our hideout!"
"Luckily, Kong Liu had advised us to have three burrows, and we set up two deceptions beforehand, otherwise we would all be finished now!"
Meng Bai narrowed his eyes and swept a sharp glance over everyone present. "I suspect there's a mole among us!"
"Good Mom, good Mom, let me go!"
"Mom, what are you doing?"
After dragging her to the kitchen, Good Mom finally released Su Qingci's wrist.
"If you want to stay here, the most basic thing is to be able to read people's expressions! Can't you see that Master Meng is in a bad mood?"
"It's obvious something's happened. Let's just do our jobs and not be too curious about the rest. Knowing too much isn't always a good thing!"
Su Qingci glanced at her good mother, who was tidying up the kitchen utensils with her head down, "Good mother, what do you know? What happened? I'm not like you. You're a paid maid, but I'm Master Meng's bedmate. The more I know, the better I can win Master Meng's favor!"
Su Qingci turned and left after saying that.
Good Mom watched the other person's back, a glint of shrewdness flashing in her eyes.
