Maid of Hua Mansion
On the third night after Yue Lanxiu asked Hua Chuyu for help, he received a call from Hua Chuyu. He thought Hua Chuyu must have a good rescue plan and wanted to ask for his opinion, but he didn't expect that Hua Chuyu had already successfully rescued the person!
Uh… He knew Hua Chuyu was powerful! But he didn't expect that he still underestimated her! This efficiency is at the level of a god!
Could it be that Hua Chuyu is actually a deity? So he can deal with demons like Yan Mingchi?
At this moment, he admired the man immensely! But even more than that, he was grateful! Even if he had to work like a slave for the rest of his life, he would never complain.
Thank him for rescuing Chao Rirou and settling her in his house. Although it is impossible to judge his true intentions, it seems that Hua Mansion is a safe hiding place at the moment.
Hua Chuyu said that she was fine and had no injuries, and Yue Lanxiu then breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he was not at ease without checking her condition in person, at the moment, no matter how anxious he was, he had to resist going to see her. His every move could not escape the eyes of Yan Mingchi.
Even if he hadn't stepped in to save the people, Yan Mingchi would definitely have thought of him first! So he couldn't go see her for the time being, and he didn't know when he could go see her.
He knew very well that if he didn't deal with Yan Mingchi, his meeting with her would only bring disaster to her.
He also knew that Yan Mingchi was difficult to deal with, but he firmly believed that everyone had weaknesses. What he had to do next was to find Yan Mingchi's weaknesses so that he could restrain the demon.
In order to find the devil's weakness, he had to keep getting closer to the devil, so he went to the fake Chao Rirou every day. On the surface, it seemed that he was pursuing that woman, but in fact his main purpose was to meet Yan Mingchi.
It was a sunny day and the smile on his face was also bright, but his heart was not bright at all!
The woman who stole his wife's beautiful face was sitting in his wife's garden, leisurely drinking his wife's tea. He was sitting opposite her, but he couldn't vent his anger and could only flick eye boogers into her tea from time to time.
The woman raised her charming eyebrows and looked at him, "Why do you come to my place all day? Don't you have anything else to do?"
He stared at her with eyes blazing hotter than the sun. "Yes, there are many things, but the most important thing for me right now is to keep a close eye on you. I'm afraid that if I blink, you'll disappear again! I'm afraid your master will lock you up to prevent us from being together! Or even do something to hurt you!"
"My master is no longer against us being together as you imagined. But you really came here for me, not to save others?" Canyue stared at him with jealousy on the surface, but actually hid a tentative intention.
Asahirou escaped! Or rather, she was rescued! It was hard not to think that it had something to do with the man in front of me.
Yue Lanxiu could guess her thoughts and said calmly, "Are you talking about Yatang? I really don't agree with you detaining her privately. I still hope you can hand her over to the police and the law! I know she has caused you a lot of injustice, but because of this, you must not break the law for that kind of person and do things that harm yourself! It's totally not worth it! I will never allow you to do anything that hurts yourself!" When he got to the point of passion, he took her hand and said affectionately, "What happens to her in the future has nothing to do with me. What concerns me is your future. I hope you can stay away from darkness in the future..."
"Abandon darkness and turn to light, abandon evil and do good? Hahaha... So this is how you brainwashed my apprentice!" Yan Mingchi appeared behind them at some point, and the smile on his face was mocking his naivety.
Yan Mingchi is always so elusive, and they are no longer surprised.
Yan Mingchi really lived up to Yue Lanxiu's expectations and appeared more frequently than he expected.
"I just want to brainwash you!" Yue Lanxiu muttered without turning his head, but Yan Mingchi heard every word.
Yan Mingchi laughed and teased, "I actually have a share in such a good thing, why are you also worried about my future? How do you plan to arrange for me in the future? How do you want me to die?" He approached Yue Lanxiu with a smile in his eyes. This smile was not aggressive. It was simply that the person in front of him made him feel happy.
"I just hope that I will have the honor to play chess with you again in the future." Yue Lanxiu sighed, and a friendly light wave shot directly at Yan Mingchi who walked in front of him.
Yan Mingchi likes to play Go, and he happens to be very good at it, so the two people who have a rare common interest have been practicing Go skills these days.
Yan Mingchi was flattered. This kid's eyes were so serious, could he be speaking from the heart? Whether it was true or not, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.
But Yue Lanxiu's next words made his smile freeze, "After all, when it comes to Go, you are the only one who takes me several hours to defeat!" Yue Lanxiu spoke with his nose raised.
He has never lost in Go. Even if his opponent is Yan Mingchi, he will still be the one who will not lose.
Although Yan Mingchi wasn't truly angry about this, he was very competitive and wouldn't give up until he defeated him! Every time they met, he would pester him to play chess!
This was exactly what he wanted, and their "friendship" began with playing chess.
Of course, he didn't really want to be friends with Yan Mingchi, he was just pretending. Although deceiving other people's feelings was despicable, in order to deal with a bad guy, he had no choice but to become a bad guy himself!
His master's wife gave him some advice: rather than being Yan Mingchi's enemy, it's better to be his friend! Being his enemy, there's no chance of winning against him head-on! But being his friend, there's still hope of controlling him spiritually!
"Brat! Today I will never use only one tenth of my strength like before!" Yan Mingchi roared as he walked towards the chess table.
"I only used one thousandth of my strength!" Seeing how angry he was, Yue Lanxiu felt that he was indeed in his fifties or sixties, like an old man who loved to care about winning or losing.
Looking at the two men who were about to play chess, Canyue, who was following silently behind them, suddenly felt that she was a little redundant. It seemed that they could not see her.
She thought Yan Mingchi had come to confront Yue Lanxiu, but now it looked like he was there to play chess! Winning or losing the game seemed more important than Chao Rirou's escape! Looking at Yan Mingchi's scowling expression, she almost suspected he was an imposter!
"Haha, there's no way out." Yan Mingchi laughed, slapping the table and slapping his legs.
How could he even look like the leader of a terrorist organization? This kind of Yan Mingchi was something Cangyue had never seen before. She wondered if he had taken the wrong medicine. It seemed like he didn't hate Yue Lanxiu that much after all!
Her gaze shifted from Yan Mingchi's face to the chessboard. Although she didn't know much about Go, seeing Yan Mingchi's smile with his gums showing, Yue Lanxiu was bound to lose.
Looking at Yue Lanxiu again, he looked like he was frowning and thinking deeply, with his long fingers pinching the chess piece but he didn't move for a long time. It seemed that he was really stumped.
"Don't be too happy too soon. I may not lose yet. Do you dare to bet that I can still beat you?" I don't know if he was just being stubborn. After a long time, I almost scratched my scalp but still couldn't figure it out.
"I'm afraid you're the one who doesn't dare to gamble. If you lose, you have to agree to one of my requests!" Yan Mingchi stared at the chessboard and studied it carefully again. After making sure that there were no loopholes, he began to make cunning calculations.
"Then if I win the bet, you have to agree to one of my requests!" Yue Lanxiu's eyes were fixed on the chessboard, and he didn't even bother to look up, thinking hard.
"No problem!" Yan Mingchi said confidently of victory, but the brat still refused to admit defeat!
Yue Lanxiu then looked up at him and couldn't help but whistle at his promise, "This temptation is too great. I'm going to figure it out even if I have to rack my brains!"
"It doesn't matter. I won't drive you away even if you sit here for a few days, a month, or even a year!" Yan Mingchi began to think about what Yue Lanxiu should do for him?
Just when his mouth was about to stretch out to the back of his head with smugness, Yue Lanxiu suddenly said three evil words, "I win!"
How could it be possible?! Yan Mingchi looked at him in disbelief. The cunning smile on his face set off alarm bells in his heart. He had a bad feeling! Very bad! It was the unpleasant feeling of falling into a trap!
The gleam in Yue Lanxiu's eyes gradually appeared, and he signaled Yan Mingchi to look at the chessboard, not at him.
When his eyes fell on the chessboard, Yan Mingchi's breath was obviously choked.
Cang Yue, beside her, didn't dare breathe. The temperature next door had dropped sharply. Judging from the situation, he probably didn't win. She glared at Yue Lanxiu. Is it fun to anger Yan Mingchi? Can't she just pretend to lose a game to him?
Yue Lanxiu smiled like a fox that had eaten meat, while Yan Mingchi looked extremely ugly, as if the meat in his bowl had been replaced with feces by someone else.
After an unknown amount of time, Cangyue felt like she was almost suffocating from the freezing atmosphere. Yan Mingchi finally conceded defeat, but he was still sullen. "I was careless and fell for your trick! You tricked me into thinking I had won, just to get my promise!"
That brat is really cunning! I was so angry that I wanted to smash the face of that succumbing villain with a punch, but that face was too beautiful. The more I looked at it, the more I liked it. I just couldn't do it. Not only could I not do it, but the anger in my chest also disappeared inexplicably!
"Tell me, what are your demands? I'm not someone who doesn't keep my word. Do you want me to agree to your relationship with Chao Rirou, or to let your ex-wife go?" He could see through Yue Lanxiu's thoughts! After he finished speaking, the smile returned to Yan Mingchi's face, but this smile was cold and sinister!
Canyue looked at Yan Mingchi in disbelief. She didn't expect him to be so tolerant. He really treated Yue Lanxiu differently!
Yue Lanxiu knew that the easygoing Yan Mingchi had disappeared. He was testing whether he was the one who rescued Zhao Rirou! Yue Lanxiu acted calm and pretended to weigh the pros and cons before making a decision. "I hope you release Yatang!"
Canyue was surprised again when she heard this. She couldn't guess what the two men were thinking!
I didn't expect him to choose the latter. Wasn't Chao Rirou more important than Yatang? Or did he know who the real Chao Rirou was? Putting those two questions aside, wasn't that woman rescued? Didn't he know? Wasn't he the one who saved her? Otherwise, why would he waste such a once-in-a-century opportunity? You know, Yan Mingchi doesn't just agree to requests casually!
There was also confusion in Yan Mingchi's slowly narrowed eyes, but more of it was speculation. This kid is very cunning, and you can't judge him by his appearance. With his intelligence, he might have already predicted his thoughts!
Afraid that they would overthink it and raise more doubts, Yue Lanxiu explained to Cangyue the next second, "Please don't misunderstand my sincerity! I said it's not worth getting your hands dirty just to punish her. I don't want you to waste your time on someone who's not worth it! I hope you can spend more time with me! Another important point is that for me, whether I can date you depends on your consent, not your master. I don't want to be with your master! If only your master agrees and you're forced to agree, then that's definitely not what I want..."
Yan Mingchi interrupted impatiently, not interested in listening to his confession to others. "You have too much reason, I can't argue with you. I can release Yatang, but I don't know where to release her. Do you know?"
Yue Lanxiu's scalp tingled from the two sharp gazes in front of him, especially Yan Mingchi, who was a veteran after all. His expression seemed to be saying, please start your performance!
Then he would just act stupid, "What do you mean? If I knew where Yatang was, would I need to ask you to release him?" Yue Lanxiu asked, his eyes moving back and forth between Cangyue and Yan Mingchi.
"Yatang ran away! But I don't think she could have escaped alone! I don't know who helped her secretly." Canyue's eyes seemed to be asking him if he did it?
"Yatang ran away? Really? You are not lying to me, could it be that someone has killed her!" When he mentioned someone, his eyes turned coldly to Yan Mingchi.
Yan Mingchi sneered a few times and said arrogantly, "If I killed him, I killed him. I don't need to lie to you. But if I didn't kill him, I didn't kill him. I don't need to lie to you either."
"Who is so capable as to rescue someone from you?" Yue Lanxiu calmly looked back at Yan Mingchi's sharp gaze that was fixed on his face without blinking.
"There really aren't many people like this," he paused, frowned, and continued, "but there are still some!"
"Could it be Yatang's master Luosha?" Yue Lanxiu deliberately dragged Luosha's gang into it.
"How could that idiot have such ability!" Yan Mingchi dismissed it with disdain. He suddenly leaned close to Yue Lanxiu and said slowly, "I'm talking about you."
Yue Lanxiu said without flinching, "Thank you for thinking so highly of me! But I can't even beat the straw bag you call me."
Yan Mingchi retreated to his original distance, his sinister eyes constantly pondering, "Besides you, there is another person!"
"Oh, who is it?" Yue Lanxiu didn't think he knew Hua Chuyu.
"My deputy leader!" Yan Mingchi said in a deep voice, but there was still mist in his eyes.
"Your deputy leader is your man, why would he go against you? What you said is getting more and more outrageous." Yue Lanxiu remained calm. How could he have thought that his deputy leader was Hua Chuyu!
"Although he has no direct connection to this matter, he does have this ability! I can't think of anyone else who has this ability! It's called the process of elimination, you should understand it best!"
As they stared at each other, Yue Lanxiu wondered if this old man was suspecting that he and his deputy leader knew each other. He was overthinking it this time; he really didn't know who that deputy leader was!
"Let's go! Are you interested in going with me to verify this?" Yan Mingchi stood up and asked, but his tone was commanding.
"To be honest, I'm not interested in watching your family act. But I know you won't let me refuse!" Yue Lanxiu said firmly with a helpless look on his face.
"Smart!" Yan Mingchi was very pleased with his tact. "You should come too." He threw these words to Cangyue, and his attitude towards her was obviously much colder!
Ping-ling, bang-clang—the sound of something breaking could be heard from Hua Chuyu Mansion! I don’t know how many times this happened in one day.
The usually energetic old housekeeper was so angry that his blood pressure skyrocketed and he was so scared that he almost had a myocardial infarction!
His young master had no idea where he'd found such a bastard! Was she really a maid? Or a woman with a hand problem? How could she keep breaking things? She'd only been here a few days, and she'd already broken more things than I could count on my ten fingers! And she'd only chosen to break valuable things!
But the young master has instructed us not to bother with her and just remember the value of the treasures she broke. There will be a sucker who will come to pay the bill when the time comes!
"The housekeeper is crying out, and something serious seems to have happened downstairs. Why don't you go down and take a look?" Zhuang Gaoya, who was working with Hua Chuyu in the office on the second floor, reminded.
But Hua Chuyu continued to look at the information without raising his head, as if he had heard nothing.
Compared to his focused attention, Zhuang Gaoya seemed even more careless. She couldn't even read a single word on the document in her hand! Even after reading a lot of documents, she never thought about them. It could be said that she forgot everything after reading them!
She was used to eating, drinking and having fun every day, so suddenly having to go to work was almost killing her! This life was so boring!
But this was an order from her old father. If she dared to disobey, all her financial resources would be cut off! That would be the same as taking her life!
Her father arranged her to be Hua Chuyu's secretary, mainly so that she could learn more about work from Hua Chuyu, but she always felt that her father had other purposes.
Hua Chuyu sometimes chooses to work from home, so this is why she appears in his house.
Zhuang Gaoya snorted secretly. Her father always praised him for his good looks, and she did admit that he was good-looking, but his arrogant and domineering look disgusted her extremely!
If her father planned to make Hua Chuyu his son-in-law, she would make him give up the idea!
There is only one person she wants to marry in this life, and that is Yue Lanxiu!
Woohoo… It’s been so long since I last saw Brother Xiu. I miss him so much! Are he and that ugly woman doing okay? Could it be that they divorced long ago because they couldn’t stand her appearance?
"Second Miss? Second Miss? Second Idiot!"
Hua Chuyu called out three times before she came back to her senses, "Are you calling me?"
"It's just you and me here. Who else should I call? Why don't you go back to sleep so no one can disturb your daydreams?" This guy is not cut out for work! But her father insisted on forcing her to stay with him.
"What do you want me to do?" Zhuang Gaoya asked angrily, but she managed to hold back her temper. She didn't dare to lose her temper! She didn't know if it was because she was intimidated by this man, or if she was afraid that he would tell her father that she wasn't working hard, which would result in her salary being docked!
"Did you know that there is a piece of information missing here..."
"Really? Let me look for it here!" Zhuang Gaoya searched her desk thoroughly but couldn't find the document Hua Chuyu wanted. "Oh no, I might have left it at the company!" She stuck out her tongue, hoping that Hua Chuyu's anger could be suppressed by her beautiful and lovely expression.
Hua Chuyu didn't find it cute at all, he just felt like he had looked at the fly twice. "Go get it right away!"
"What!" Zhuang Gaoya almost yelled. It was almost time to get off work! Even if he didn't allow her to leave, it would be time for dinner! If she went to the company now, how much time would it take to run back? "But I still have unfinished work at hand!"
Hua Chuyu was too lazy to bother with this idiot. With that little bit of work, others could finish it in less than half a day! He called another secretary and asked them to deliver it quickly.
Unexpectedly, the person who delivered the documents was Zhuang Yulin, and the chairman delivered it personally.
"Dad! Why did you come here in person?" Zhuang Gaoya felt that as a father, this kind of thing was not appropriate! How could he deliver documents to his subordinates in person? Why did he always act like he was trying to please him?
But Hua Chuyu was so ungrateful that when it was time for dinner, he didn't even invite his boss to join him for dinner.
"It's all your fault. You forget everything you do and your soul is not with you!" Zhuang Yulin glared at his daughter and scolded her. How could she be so useless!
"I'm sorry to trouble you! It must be tiring to teach her how to do things! It's no easier than teaching a pig!" When facing Hua Chuyu, Zhuang Yulin had a smiling face again.
"Dad!" Zhuang Gaoya glared at her father in dissatisfaction. No matter how much he disliked her, he couldn't compare her to a pig. Was she really that stupid in his eyes? What made her even more angry was Hua Chuyu's answer.
"No, it's still easier than a pig." Hua Chuyu joked.
Zhuang Gaoya was surprised by Hua Chuyu's words and actions. How could he dare to say such things about the chairman's daughter? What a fool of a father! He was clearly the chairman, but why did he act like he was inferior to others? If you didn't know, you would think Hua Chuyu was his boss!
"I think it's time for dinner. Why don't we go together?" Zhuang Yulin suggested.
"I want to finish my work first." Hua Chuyu said without thinking.
"Although work is important, you also have to take care of your health!" Zhuang Yulin said with concern.
Zhuang Gaoya rolled her eyes frequently. If she hadn't known that her father intended to match her with Hua Chuyu, she would have thought that Hua Chuyu was his illegitimate child who he had given birth to without telling his mother!
Hua Chuyu still refused, which was seen as extremely ungrateful in Zhuang Gaoya's eyes.
"Hey! The boss is considerate of his subordinates, why are you so disrespectful? If I were you, I would have told the kitchen to prepare a good meal for the boss!"
"How dare you talk like that!" Zhuang Yulin glared at his daughter.
Hua Chuyu stood up and interrupted, "Second Miss is right! I was rude! It's a rare occasion for you to come here, and I'm sorry for not hosting you well. If you don't mind, please stay and have dinner with us. It's my honor!" He didn't want anyone to spread the word that he didn't even care about his boss.
"Will that be too intrusive?"
"You are too polite. If you don't agree, I will be killed by the look of the Second Miss!"
"Don't bother with her! My wife's spoiled her!" Zhuang Yuling, who had originally wanted to match his daughter with Hua Chuyu, felt a little discouraged. Hua Chuyu was simply too outstanding, and it would be a bit of a waste for his daughter to be with her! Their appearance was a good match, but as for their inner qualities... well, let fate take its course! He just hoped that she could learn from Hua Chuyu and become more presentable. He didn't dare to expect anything else!
As soon as they got downstairs, they saw three uninvited guests swaggering in from the front door.
Hua Chuyu was startled when he saw the person coming. He looked as if he had seen a meteorite fall on his doorstep! But he was a person with strong psychological qualities. He calmed down all his emotions in a second.
