Chapter 421: Life on the line
Lu Wan went back to her room and washed up for a long time before she washed off the mud.
My phone fell into the pond and got soaked in water and can no longer be used.
She wanted to call Huo Beiting.
After thinking about it, she opened the door and asked the maid outside to borrow a cell phone.
As soon as the maid took out her cell phone, Butler Li and Li Fang appeared.
"Xiao Zhou, you go down first."
The maid who served Lu Wan was called Xiao Zhou. Just as she was about to hand the phone to Lu Wan, Butler Li spoke.
Xiao Zhou glanced at Butler Li and immediately put away his phone. "Miss Lu, you should ask Butler Li to call the young master for you."
After Xiao Zhou finished speaking, he bowed respectfully to Lu Wan, then turned and left.
In this family, they all have to listen to Butler Li.
After Xiao Zhou left, Lu Wan looked at Butler Li and Li Fang, who had also washed up, in surprise.
Butler Li immediately looked respectful and apologetic: "Miss Lu, my daughter is ignorant. I brought her here to apologize to you. Please be sure to punish her severely."
Butler Li brought Li Fang and soon came in front of Lu Wan.
"She is beyond help. What's the point of punishing her?"
Lu Wan was too lazy to pay attention to the two of them and turned back to the house.
Without waiting for her to close the door, Butler Li followed in immediately, "I know that you are kind-hearted, Miss Lu, and cannot bear to punish her. I can punish her on your behalf, but I only ask that you do not tell the young master about this."
"Are you so afraid that Bei Ting will find out?" Lu Wan looked at Butler Li in silence. "You have been with Bei Ting for so many years, and he trusts you very much. Are you worthy of his trust in you by deceiving your superiors and hiding the truth from your subordinates?"
"Miss Lu, what you are saying is that Xiaofang's mother died early and it was me who failed to teach her well. But I only have this one daughter, so please, Miss Lu, give her a chance to live." Butler Li looked quite sad and sincere.
On the other hand, Li Fang still stared at Lu Wan with an unrepentant look.
"What's the point of life and death? I never thought of taking her life. She's just a jealous person, obviously not suitable to stay in the Huo family. Butler Li, if you are really loyal to Bei Ting, what should you do after what happened today?"
Lu Wan was not an aggressive person. She wore a plain white dress and stood gently in the room. Her expression was neither humble nor arrogant, but there was not a trace of resentment or ferocity.
After what happened, it was obvious that Li Fang was no longer suitable to stay in this family.
What Butler Li needs to do now is not to apologize, but to solve the problem.
He should let Li Fang leave the Huo family and find other jobs.
As long as he handled the matter properly, she would naturally not care about it anymore.
She knew Bei Ting's character, and she could also choose not to tell him about this.
"I won't leave the Huo family! Lu Wan, who the hell are you? How long have I been in the Huo family? You want to drive me away on your first day?" Li Fang finally couldn't bear it anymore and spoke out.
Lu Wan bit her lip in anger and didn't bother to say more to her. Instead, she looked at the seemingly reasonable housekeeper Li.
Unexpectedly, Butler Li was unmoved and instead looked at him with complicated eyes.
After Lu Wan looked at him for a few seconds, she finally realized something was wrong.
"you……"
As soon as she opened her mouth, Butler Li and Li Fang rushed over together.
In the bathroom, Li Fang pushed Lu Wan's head into the bathtub. She struggled desperately and bubbles gurgled in the water.
Butler Li stood aside, his expression was distressed, "Xiaofang, this is a life."
"Her life is life, but mine is not life? If she doesn't die today, I will be the one to die."
As soon as Li Fang finished speaking, Lu Wan used up almost all her strength to raise her head and take two deep breaths of fresh air.
"You...what are you doing? If you do this, Bei Ting will definitely not let you go! Gurgle Gurgle..."
Lu Wan had just said one sentence when Li Fang pushed her head into the water again.
Her instinctive desire to survive made her struggle to raise her head again and again.
Li Fang's hands were so painful from pressing, and she angrily scolded Butler Li, "What are you still hesitating about now? You have let my mother down, and you want to let me down too? Have you forgotten how you promised my mother to take good care of me? It's fine if you can't give me the life I want, but what's wrong with me fighting for myself? Now it concerns my life, why don't you come and help me!"
After Li Fang's yell, Butler Li finally made up his mind.
He immediately stepped forward and helped Li Fang push Lu Wan's head into the water.
Just then, a limited edition luxury car drove into the Huo family.
As soon as Huo Beiting got out of the car, the servant came up to greet him.
He said with a cold face, "Where is Butler Li?"
The servant said truthfully: "Butler Li and Xiaofang seem to have gone to look for the young lady."
When Huo Beiting heard this, his expression changed instantly.
