Chapter 585: Blood Clan Loyal Butler vs. Godly Lady 15
The man's triumphant smile froze on his lips.
But in an instant, he curled up the corners of his mouth again, took two steps back, straightened his waist, and distanced himself from Quan Jiu.
"I'm sorry, Miss Xier. I was inconsiderate."
His face was full of apology, but he did not bow down. His pair of affectionate peach blossom eyes stared at her intently, pious and gentle.
If it were an ordinary person, he might have been fooled, but Quan Jiu had just seen through his nature and would definitely not keep such a person.
She ordered mercilessly: "Go away."
The fake smile on the man's face faded, he looked at her deeply, and turned away unwillingly.
There are three applicants left.
Quan Jiu fiddled with the spoon in the coffee cup out of boredom, then raised his head and looked at the three remaining men.
The person closest to her was a muscular man with a strong build, comparable to a fitness coach.
There was another one with a young face and a scholarly temperament, who looked like he had just left school.
The last one...
Quan Jiu's gaze fell on the fifth applicant.
The man was wearing a black suit, with a slender figure and a thin figure. He was wearing a top hat with the brim covering his eyebrows, leaving only his high nose bridge and bright red lips exposed, looking quite mysterious.
Because the skin exposed outside the brim of the hat was so white, it was rare for a man to be so white, Quan Jiu couldn't help but look at him again.
Under the astonished gazes of the other two applicants, Quan Jiu stood up from his chair, walked around the long table to the man, and stared at his chin.
"You, raise your head."
The man paused, then slowly raised his head...
The gorgeous and handsome appearance caught Quan Jiu's eyes.
He had narrow eyes with naturally upturned corners, a pair of thin lips under a high nose bridge that were so red they looked like they were about to bleed. He had an extremely cold appearance, but because of his abstinence, he had an aloof and gorgeous beauty for no reason, like a fragrant but thorny red rose, dangerous and charming.
Quan Jiu's gaze fell on the scar at the corner of his eye. The scar was light, only the size of a small dot, and happened to be printed at the end of the eye. Far from being ugly, it looked like a teardrop mole, adding a sense of story to him.
"May I have your name?"
Quan Jiu narrowed his eyes and raised his hand, his fingertips pointing at his scar.
The man lowered his eyes and did not dodge: "Lu Huai."
"Lu Huai..."
Quan Jiu murmured these two words, but his fingertips stopped when they were about to touch the corner of his eyes.
Lu Huai lowered his eyes and happened to see the five white fingers resting on his face, with distinct knuckles and long fingers.
Because the distance was so close, the faint scent of gardenia wafted from her fingertips and penetrated into his nostrils.
His Adam's apple rolled slightly, and the next second, a woman's seductive low laughter rang in his ears.
The tension of his identity being exposed filled his brain. For the first time in his life, cold sweat broke out on his back, and he couldn't imagine the consequences.
When he finally raised his head stiffly, he found that Quan Jiu's eyes were not on him at all. The woman had already walked away from him and was smiling coquettishly at the fitness man.
A sense of relief and a slight disappointment surged in Lu Huai's heart at the same time, and he couldn't tell which emotion was more important.
Quan Jiu looked at the fitness man in front of him and said, "Do you think... I'm particularly difficult to get along with?"
The fitness guy cursed silently in his heart.
It is indeed difficult to get along with him. His mood is changeable. He is smiling one second and then turns cold and tells people to pack up and get out the next.
"It's not difficult to get along with her. Miss, you naturally have your own considerations when doing things." He said against his conscience.
"What do you think?" Quan Jiu looked at the young boy again.
The boy blushed slightly: "Miss, you are a very good person. It is what they did that was wrong. It is reasonable for Miss to be angry."
Quan Jiu's face showed no emotion, and no one knew whether she was satisfied with the two people's answers.
When her gaze fell on Lu Huai, the man said respectfully and indifferently.
"As a servant, it is the most basic professional ethics not to talk about your employer without authorization."
Whether an employer is good or bad is not something a housekeeper can define, and he has no way to evaluate her.
The other two people's expressions changed slightly after hearing what Lu Huai said. People in big families hate servants gossiping behind their backs the most. They seemed to be trying to please and flatter Quan Jiu, but in fact they were being treated badly and forgot their duty as servants.
The two were very nervous, but strangely, Quan Jiu didn't seem to want them to leave.
The woman returned to her seat and spoke casually, seemingly replying to someone's message on her phone.
"In that case, all three of you will stay for a one-week trial period. If you pass, you can stay. If you fail, you can pack up and leave."
Fitness man Leng Feng and young man Zhou Qi breathed a sigh of relief, and their eyes became wary when they looked at Lu Huai.
Anyone would feel pressured by having such a competitor.
………
Lunch time.
Quan Jiu looked at the table full of dishes without picking up his chopsticks.
Leng Feng introduced her: "Miss Xier, this is French-style pan-fried foie gras. The foie gras was airlifted in this morning and is still very fresh."
When the French are in China, they definitely want to eat the food from their hometown, and he is full of confidence.
"What I made is French-style dry-fried squid." Zhou Qi also introduced it.
Quan Jiu's gaze fell on the last dish, his eyes flashing:
"So you made this dish?"
Lu Huai respectfully placed the serving chopsticks next to her:
"This is West Lake Vinegar Fish. I hope you like it, young lady."
Compared with the exquisitely presented and expensive French dishes, West Lake Vinegar Fish looks plain and unpretentious. Apart from the fish itself, there is no other decoration. It does not look very attractive and is difficult to stimulate people's appetite.
Quan Jiu curled his lips in a half-smile, but there was no smile in his eyes.
The blood clan's headquarters is in England. She is not used to British cuisine, so she often asks the chef to prepare special dishes for her.
During her time in the vampire clan, this was the dish she ate the most.
With three choices to make, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Under everyone's expectant gaze, Quan Jiu finally picked up the chopsticks, picked up a small piece of meat from the fish's back, and slowly put it into his mouth.
The meat is tender, sweet and sour.
Still tastes exactly the same.
Lu Huai watched her movements with his own eyes, not missing any expression on her face.
The woman's expression did not change after eating.
"Not bad." Quan Jiu commented lightly.
A hint of loss flashed in Lu Huai's eyes.
That’s right.
She was just a three-year-old child at the time. Fifteen years have passed, and her childhood memories have long faded. What is he still expecting?
After lunch, Quan Jiu wiped his mouth with a handkerchief:
"Lu Huai, you will be responsible for my three meals from now on."
Lu Huai nodded: "Thank you for your appreciation, Miss."
…
the next day.
"Miss, all your school supplies are ready for you. Is there anything else you need?"
Leng Feng handed over a list.
Quan Jiu was looking at the class schedule at the time. After catching a glimpse of the words "swimming class", she glanced at the list.
"I haven't bought a swimsuit yet."
The three men were stunned.
