Chapter 34: The Fake Daughter of a Prominent Family
Lin Bo paused and bowed his head respectfully:
"Yes, I am a servant in the house. I am not in charge of the main building. I only do some laundry."
Su Youran nodded in understanding: "No wonder I didn't know."
Wu Shuxian frowned slightly:
"Why are you asking this suddenly? I've never seen you care about the servants in your house before."
Su Youran giggled, as if sharing something funny:
"I just came back and met Aunt Qin's daughter at the door. Ye Jiuzhou thought she was a bad person."
Wu Shuxian first scolded her helplessly:
"Can you please call me Jiuzhou properly? It's so rude to always use his first name and last name."
Ye Jiuzhou's eyes were full of stars and tenderness: "Ranran, you can call me whatever you want. I like her calling me by that name."
Ye Jiuzhou, Ye Jiuzhou...
He didn't know how much he liked her chirping in his ear. Sometimes she was as cute and playful as a lark, and sometimes she was domineering and arrogant.
Of course, what I love most is the trembling and moaning whispers at certain times.
As he was thinking, Ye Jiuzhou changed his posture unconsciously and coughed lightly. He came back early today and should have stayed in the "old place" for a while longer.
When Su Youran saw him like that, she knew he hadn't thought it through. She glared at him secretly. There are so many people here. How thick-skinned are you?
Wu Shuxian's eyes were filled with smiles:
"Jiuzhou, don't spoil her too much. She is already a bit of a jerk. If you continue to spoil her, she will become even more outrageous."
Before Su Youran could protest, he turned around and asked her, “What did that Aunt Qin’s daughter do?”
Su Youran picked up a crystal shrimp dumpling and answered casually:
"Maybe he was too timid and hid behind a tree, not daring to see us. Ye Jiuzhou thought he had bad intentions and answered questions haltingly. Fortunately, Mr. Lin explained it clearly."
She joked to Uncle Lin who was standing by her side, "Maybe Uncle Lin's family will have good things soon."
Uncle Lin was stunned for a moment, then smiled awkwardly. Wu Shuxian looked back at Uncle Lin and said calmly:
"You'd better follow the rules. People at the back are not allowed to come to the front casually."
She looked at the imposing Ye Jiuzhou and the dignified Huo Zhenxun, thinking that the ignorant servants had evil intentions. First of all, she lost her good impression of that Aunt Qin's daughter.
Uncle Lin secretly wiped the cold sweat from his head and responded repeatedly: "Yes, ma'am."
Su Youran had just finished the shrimp dumpling on her plate. Before she looked up, another one was placed in front of her. She looked in the direction of her chopsticks and saw Huo Zhenxun smiling at her gently.
Su Youran also smiled widely, and when Ye Jiuzhou looked at her jealously, she lowered her head and concentrated on eating.
Su Zhengming, who was sitting at the top, saw everything, said nothing, lowered his eyelids and drank a sip of soup.
After the meal, Ye Jiuzhou looked at the time and realized it was time to go back, but that annoying Huo Zhenxun was still drinking tea leisurely, as if he had no intention of leaving.
He gritted his teeth and looked at Huo Zhenxun with a fake smile: "Has Mr. Huo driven here? Do you want me to take you there?"
Huo Zhenxun responded with a polite fake smile: "Mr. Ye, just go and do what you want. Don't worry, I drove here."
Ye Jiuzhou Haha, who is worried about you? I just think you are an eyesore! He asked casually:
"I heard that the second young master Huo met a few people in Juxian Pavilion today. I wonder if the first young master Huo knows who they are?"
Huo Zhenxun paused for an inaudible moment while drinking his tea, then chuckled:
“I don’t know.”
He really didn't know, and a little anxious rose in his heart. There was no reason for Ye Jiuzhou to mention this matter for no reason. There must be something special about those people.
Now his struggle with Huo Zhenyao is basically out in the open, and at the moment it can only be considered a draw.
The two sides were evenly matched, and neither could do anything to the other. If the opponent found other chips, it would be very disadvantageous to him...
Ye Jiuzhou said nothing more, as if he was just saying it casually, but his eyes were very dark, with an indescribable feeling.
In the subsequent conversation, Huo Zhenxun was inevitably a little absent-minded. Su Youran noticed this and kindly reminded him:
"Ah Xun, are you tired? Why don't you go back and rest early?"
Huo Zhenxun thought about it again and again, and finally stood up: "Then I will take my leave first, and visit you again another day."
The Huo family is his trump card to protect Ranran, and he must not lose it.
Su Youran also stood up: “I’ll take you there.”
Ye Jiuzhou took her hand and forced her to sit down:
"I'm going home soon, so I can go out with him. No need to see me off. Just sit back and relax. You must be tired after a long day at work. Have a good sleep tomorrow. If you want to go out with Aunt Wu, give me a call and I'll pick you up."
Su Youran looked at Huo Zhenxun, a little hesitant. Huo Zhenxun smiled and said, "Sit down. You're not a stranger. You don't have to be so polite."
Su Youran then sat still and waved at the two of them, “Be careful on the road, everyone.”
Ye Jiuzhou and Huo Zhenxun said goodbye to everyone else and walked out of the gate of Su Mansion together. Their cars were parked in two directions. Huo Zhenxun was about to leave when he heard Ye Jiuzhou say:
"Master Huo, you don't want me to help Master Huo, right?"
Huo Zhenxun looked at him gloomily, while Ye Jiuzhou had no expression on his face:
"Ran Ran misses our old friendship, and I don't want to see her sad because of losing an old friend. I think Mr. Huo can understand what I mean."
If you dare to stretch out your hand again, I don’t mind chopping off your claws!
Ye Jiuzhou straightened his collar, his expression cold, as if he meant something:
"Young Master Huo...you really have to pay attention to your safety."
After saying that, he turned around and strode away without stopping.
Huo Zhenxun looked at his back, his mouth curled up. Threatening him? Ha. He also turned and walked in the opposite direction.
The two equally tall and majestic figures walked away with their backs to each other, like two parallel lines that only intersected at a specific point and would never intersect again.
And that point was Su Youran.
In the Su Family Study
Su Zhengming went upstairs first, using the excuse that he had unfinished business, and asked Uncle Lin:
"Are the Aunt Qin and her daughter that Ranran mentioned the mother and daughter we took in back then?"
Uncle Lin stood in front of the desk, with a respectful attitude:
"Yes, he has always seemed to be well-behaved over the years and rarely leaves the house. This time it is probably just a coincidence."
Su Zhengming tapped the table with one hand, and after a long pause, he said, "Pay more attention to it and wait and see. I hope it's just a coincidence."
How could it be so easy for the Su Mansion to accept people? If you don't know someone well, you won't be allowed in.
When Qin Mingyue came to him with her child and said she wanted to find a job, Uncle Lin looked up her background thoroughly.
Knowing that she was the daughter-in-law of the family his wife had been with when she gave birth, he immediately reported it to Su Zhengming.
Su Zhengming allowed them to enter the Su Mansion out of gratitude, but he never told Wu Shuxian about it.
Because Su Zhengming knew what happened back then, Wu Shuxian has never let it go.
Over the years, the couple always slept in separate rooms, and Wu Shuxian ignored him except in front of their children.
Su Zhengming was worried that if Wu Shuxian knew the identities of the mother and daughter, she would probably remember those sad things once she saw them.
Even if I can't see it, I must feel uncomfortable, which is why I have kept it a secret until now.
Uncle Lin quickly agreed. It was his negligence today, so why did he let someone come to the front?
And that kid Lin Sheng, I've told him many times not to associate with Qin Yiyi, but he just wouldn't listen. I must teach him a lesson when I get back!
Su Zhengming also thought of Lin Sheng: "Is your boy interested in that girl?"
Uncle Lin shook his head repeatedly: "It's just that we are about the same age, and I have spoken a few more times than others."
He is the master's confidant, how could he not know what he is thinking? The master just wants to give them something to eat. After all, he can't just stand by and watch them die. But he would never want the mother and daughter to be too close to the main building.
Su Zhengming still had a friendly and benevolent smile on his face, but his words were cold:
"They have helped for so many years, and the favor should be repaid. If they behave improperly again, let them go back to where they came from."
Uncle Lin bowed and responded.
As soon as Ye Jiuzhou returned to the Ye Mansion, Ye You came up to him with a plaintive look: "My eldest young master, you said you would come back early?"
Why did it get delayed so late again? He had to deal with things for several hours longer.
He was really exhausted in the past two months. Ye You looked at Ye Jiuzhou, who was radiant, and couldn't help but sigh again:
The power of love is so strong that the former workaholic who was resolute, ruthless and tough has turned into the clingy guy who only cares about following his fiancée.
Ye Jiuzhou glanced at her with disdain. Her complaining manner was too hurtful to the eyes: "You don't have a wife, so what else can you do if you don't work?"
Ye You felt his heart was broken into two pieces. I'm working so hard for you, and you want to hurt my heart? What do you think?!
He almost squeezed out the words from his teeth:
"Is your fiancée not yet your wife? Or does Miss Su agree to marry you?"
Ye Jiuzhou stopped, the cold wind whistled towards him, Ye You laughed in his heart, come on, let's hurt each other! He knew that Miss Su was not planning to get married now.
Ye Jiuzhou snorted coldly: "I will agree to it eventually."
Ye You complained in his heart, wait until he really agrees before showing off. Ye Jiuzhou still couldn't tell what he was thinking, and the corners of his mouth straightened instantly:
"It seems that you like the present life very much. Then in the future..."
Ye You quickly put on a smile and nodded:
"Haha, well, Miss Su will definitely agree to your proposal soon. You can think about whether to have a Western-style wedding or a Chinese-style wedding."
Ye Jiuzhou's eyes were full of excitement:
"Need you to remind me? I've already thought about it. The ceremony will definitely follow the old rules, and there will be a dance party in the evening. Ranran likes this."
Ye You's face was twitching. Should I praise you for your foresight?
Ye Jiuzhou was in a very happy mood when talking about this, as if his wedding with Ranran was just around the corner. When Ye You was about to complain, he suddenly became serious and told him:
"Among the servants of the Su Mansion there is a woman named Aunt Qin and her daughter. Go check it out and report back as soon as possible."
Ye You was stunned and a little confused. Is there something wrong with this servant?
Ye Jiuzhou's eyebrows were gloomy:
"Just in case, I won't allow any hidden dangers to exist around Ranran."
