Chapter 168 If Line: Chi Heng Chapter 1
"Ming! You're actually lying here sleeping?"
"Oh God, if it weren't for your dead mother, I would send you back to the slums..."
Mingyue, who had just accepted the memory for a few minutes: "..."
She was stunned for a few seconds, then quickly hugged the woman's arm with a flattering smile:
"I'm sorry! Linda, you know I stayed in the kitchen all night last night and didn't even dare to sleep... I only slept for less than an hour..."
Linda is 35 years old and has reddish curly hair.
Her skin is very fair, and her cheeks are dotted with beautiful freckles.
She is the cousin of Mingyue's mother and met her once when Mingyue was four years old.
It was ten years later when we met again, and "Ming Yue" was 14 years old.
She lives in a slum, her father disappeared after gambling and getting drunk, and her mother died of illness from working to pay off debts.
Mingyue, who became an orphan, was taken to the Saint-Germain-le-Dia Manor in South Africa by the mean-mouthed but soft-hearted Linda three months ago.
A majestic and ancient thousand-year-old castle, a giant angel fountain carved from natural crystal, and gardens that require a car to explore...
This area was bought by a Chinese tycoon named "Chi Li" a thousand years ago.
He settled here with his beautiful wife, raised several children, and his business grew bigger and bigger...
It later became the old house of the Chi family.
After the establishment of the federal world, the Chi family, a noble family that had fallen on hard times after experiencing wars and political turmoil, was revived by the previous head of the family.
In the past decade, the man known as the "Poison Scorpion" has moved the arms business into the shadows.
From then on, the Chi family openly invested in steel, medical care, energy...

Linda was hugged by the 14-year-old girl like a spoiled child, and for a moment she couldn't say anything else.
She glared at Mingyue:
"Today marks the first day of your three-month stay at the manor! William will sign a formal five-year contract with you..."
"You've served the young master three times at close range, and you weren't frightened by his cold face, nor did you have any other thoughts, nor did you do anything rash to anger the young master... William is very satisfied with you."
"As long as you sign the contract, you can go to school with a few other children, and you can use the Chi family's free resources for five years!"
Linda was very disappointed with Mingyue and was angry that Mingyue was lazy and slept during the crucial probation period.
"What if it wasn't me who discovered it, but William who discovered you lazing around and sleeping here?"
"Ha... He won't let you go just because I'm a veteran employee... Your contract probably won't be signed!"
Mingyue had no words to express her grievances and could only continue to apologize sincerely.
It hasn't even been ten minutes since she traveled to this lazy self who was catching up on sleep.
I had just sorted out all my memories when Linda caught me slacking off.
Fortunately, the "her" in the parallel world has the same personality, taste, habits... as mine, so there is no need to pretend.
He is fair, thin, only 1.63 meters tall, and has black hair and black eyes.
East Asian genes account for 80% of his genes, but he is a disabled person born without mental power.
Not to mention that she was the only one in this manor, Mingyue's appearance was very conspicuous when she walked on the street, making her very easy to remember.
Moreover, among the hundreds of millions of people in the entire federal world, genetic disabilities like hers are extremely rare.
"I know...woooo, thank goodness you're here...love you, Linda~"
"I'll go prepare lunch for the young master now!"
Linda saw Mingyue suddenly say that she wanted to take care of the young master as if she had taken stimulants, and glared at her:
"You should spend less time with them lately. They're already twenty years old, and all they care about is... ahem, ahem. In the end, you shouldn't get too close to them."
Linda looked at the girl who was also fourteen years old and thought that sex education should be included in the curriculum.
Now she had no choice but to threaten the girl:
"The young master is already fourteen years old. He has different experiences. He matures earlier than his peers and is cold and ruthless... William has been coming here with the people left behind by his wife these past few days..."
"Compared to the young master's family, our status is like an ant compared to an elephant... Ming, don't have any illusions."
Mingyue is a mature woman in her twenties who has achieved some success in her career. She naturally understands that Linda is truly doing this for her own good.
"Linda, I know. I just want to take good care of the young master and get more bonuses!"
Seeing the girl's innocent and cute smile, Linda believed that she was still young and really didn't have those dirty thoughts.
"Young Master has seen more and more light and shadows these past two days, and his ability to smash cups has become increasingly accurate. Be careful not to get hurt."
Mingyue: "Ha...Okay."
--
There are dozens of rooms in the entire castle, including more than a dozen suites for staff members.
Chef, driver, cleaner, purchasing agent, maid, gardener, family doctor... a total of 25 people, all serving one person.
The first legal heir of the Chi family, who just graduated from the research institute three months ago--
Chi Heng.
As Mingyue walked towards the kitchen, she searched her mind for memories of 14-year-old Chi Heng.
After three months, she had come up with a few words to describe the boy through memory:
Innocent, pitiful, beautiful, moody, delicate, damp, gloomy...
Mingyue recalled the several encounters in her memory and felt her heart contract.
It hurts so much.
Why is her Xiao Chi so pitiful?
The day before Ming Yue traveled through time, she was still arguing with Chi Heng.
The man was so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick, and he walked away with a cold face.
But he sneaked into the room in the middle of the night and blindfolded her.
This trick is actually useless to Mingyue, it is just a fun effect at most.
Because everyone's pheromone smell is different.
Last night she deliberately misled him by calling him Jett. Unexpectedly, Chi Heng deliberately agreed and said "hmm".
Did he really think she couldn't feel it?
Or are you pretending to be stupid?
It turned out that he was just pretending to be stupid. After the conversation ended, this person started to get angry silently again. He was so angry that he had nothing to do in the middle of the night and got up with a cold face to wash his underwear.
Before Mingyue fell asleep from exhaustion, she saw someone standing by the bed looking at her pitifully.
The tall figure was swallowed by the night like a monster.
Looking at the half-asleep woman, his soft sigh was carried away by the night wind:
"If you could only love me."
Each of the five of them said something similar.
Mingyue sometimes feels uncomfortable, but she has no choice.
After hearing these words in a daze, she quickly fell asleep, but the sound of faint sighs was still echoing in her mind.
if--
If there is a parallel universe in this universe, she promised Chi Heng that she would only love him.
After this thought flashed through her mind, when Mingyue woke up again, she had inexplicably become "Mingyue" who was born in South Africa.
"So is it that my soul has traveled through time, or is this me having the memories of another me in my twenties?"
--
12 noon
It was time for the young master's usual lunch.
Two months ago, the maids were competing for the spot to look after the young master, but in the past two months, it has become a case of everyone pushing each other in the kitchen.
The six maids, including Mingyue, are responsible for Chi Heng's food and drink needs, being on call 24 hours a day.
For example, at one o'clock in the morning, the chef got off work, but the young master called the housekeeper on the internal line and said he was hungry.
Then the six of them who were on duty would prepare the midnight snack according to the young master's instructions.
Due to well-known reasons, the young master's eyesight has only recovered a little in the past six months and he can now see blurry light and shadows clearly.
But his sense of taste and smell remained lost, and at the same time, his skin became extremely sensitive.
What ordinary people feel is a little cold is very cold to him.
What ordinary people feel is just the right warmth is slightly hot to him.
Therefore, the butler William would pay special attention to food and drink, and he was also very strict with the maids.
"Then I'll go."
Seeing that the five people were still arguing, Mingyue stepped forward and went around the island to serve the dishes.
She was the youngest and the thinnest, with a flat face and the face of an oriental baby.
The most important thing is that she is only 14 years old. She has no extra thoughts from beginning to end and is very simple.
The five maids laughed immediately, "Ming, that's great!"
"Let's go, let's go and set up..."
As time went by, the young master's sense of taste and smell could never be restored.
And because of the physical pain that continued to torture his nerves...
His temper is getting worse and worse.
He would throw things at the servants, not caring whether they could dodge or not.
They would be fired if they were not satisfied with anything, such as something as small as the water being too hot.
He is extremely strong and violent. When he gets sick, medicine is useless and he can only be given sedatives.
So the room was smashed every few days, and their workload had to double.
The young maid, who had originally had some thoughts in her mind, suppressed them temporarily.
Everyone waited and watched, not wanting to get involved and bring bad luck upon themselves.
The wages here are high enough, and there are free schools and medical care.
Don't try to steal the chicken and end up losing the rice. They are not that stupid.
The young master is only 14 years old and has suddenly inherited a fortune of tens of billions. He has to live long enough to spend it.
When he came out of the research institute alive, dozens of relatives in the entire Chi family heard the news and began to make various attempts.
They all hoped that Master Chi Heng would "die accidentally".
