He slowly walked in front of Tang Xiaowei. With a serious expression, he said calmly, "Miss Tang, I'm Old Fan, the steward of forest manor. This morning, young master ordered everyone in the manor not to take care of you."
Tang Xiaowei interrupted him, "I didn't want you to take care of me. You just need to let me go."
Old Fan paused. His expression was a little strange, but he didn't care what Tang Xiaowei said. He continued, "Because you made a mistake, in the future, you can only take care of yourself while you're in the manor. You have to do everything yourself, including eating, washing, and so on."
Tang Xiaowei wanted to sneer.
This housekeeper was too disrespectful. Did he not hear what she said clearly Or did he deliberately ignore her?
She said she only wanted to leave, did he not hear clearly?
But she also knew that this was all Huangfu Qiye's doing.
If it wasn't for him, these people wouldn't be like this.
Saying that she had made a mistake, it must be because she had rejected Huangfu Qiye and kicked him. So now, he didn't let anyone serve her. Of course, she also didn't need anyone to serve her.
But she didn't want to stay here at all. He forced her to stay and even let her, an injured patient, take care of herself. Was Huangfu Qiye mistaken?
Suddenly, Tang Xiaowei's stomach cried out.
Her hand that was covering her stomach pressed down hard on her abdomen.
Old Fan saw everything clearly from the side. His expression didn't change, but he pointed in a direction. "Miss Tang, you should be hungry too. The kitchen is over there. Can you cook?"
Tang Xiaowei suppressed her anger and smiled. "Yes, I know how to take care of myself. Thank you for your reminder, Old Fan."
She actually did not want to be served by Huangfu Qiye's people, but now that she was forced to be locked here and injured, she was not in the mood and did not have the strength to cook.
However, since she could not escape now and no one else wanted to care about her life and death, she could not let herself go hungry, right.
She walked in the direction that Old Fan pointed. As expected, there was indeed a kitchen.
The kitchen was very big. At this moment, it was very quiet and there was no one inside. Moreover, there were many ingredients inside
This was not bad. There were still ingredients. She was worried that Huangfu Qiye would let her cook by herself, but he would not give her the ingredients. Then she would really have to starve.
The Tang family's life could be considered well-off. Father Tang usually had to go to work, and mother Tang was sick, so the family hired a nanny.
Although Tang Xiaowei usually had a nanny to cook when she went home, she actually knew how to cook.
Therefore, less than half an hour after entering the kitchen, she had cooked a bowl of noodles for herself.
However, just as she was about to bring out the noodles to eat, the kitchen door suddenly let out a bang, followed by the sound of footsteps.
She turned her head around and saw Huangfu Qiye standing at the kitchen door with a gloomy face.
She was startled by his gaze and aura, then pretended not to care and withdrew her gaze. She carried the noodles and prepared to leave.
However, Huangfu Qiye waved his hand and said a few words in a cold voice, "Smash the bowl"
As soon as he finished speaking, two maids walked towards Tang Xiaowei. They were the two maids who had been taking care of her the day before.
As they approached Tang Xiaowei, they suddenly grabbed the bowl in her hand and smashed it hard on the ground.
"Bang!" This time, the sound of the bowl being smashed was much scarier than the sound of the kitchen door being knocked open.
Furthermore, the scalding noodles, soup, and fragments of the bowl were all scattered at Tang Xiaowei's feet.
She was so scared that her face turned pale. A few seconds later, she looked at Huangfu Qiye angrily. "Mr. Huangfu, what do you mean by this?''
He didn't allow anyone to take care of her, and he also didn't allow her to leave. She didn't want to starve to death, so she made some food herself. Why did he want to destroy it?
"Chair!" Huangfu Qiye ignored her and coldly ordered the housekeeper, Old Fan.
Old Fan gave him a look, and a servant immediately brought a chair over and respectfully placed it behind Huangfu Qiye. "Young Master, please take a seat."
Huangfu Qiye patted the nonexistent dust on his pants and elegantly sat down on the chair. Only then did he set his cold gaze on Tang Xiaowei.
He said, "Tang Xiaowei, what kind of tone is this? I had people smash my Huangfu family's things. What do you care?"
His tone was full of sarcasm.
Tang Xiaowei's heart shook violently.
This man was indeed angry, and he must be angry because she kicked him.
Now, he was venting his anger on her.
He wanted to take revenge.
She was originally very angry. After all, she endured the pain in her legs and stood here to cook noodles. Moreover, her stomach was very hungry. The food that she worked so hard to cook was ruined by his words. She was so angry that she wanted to die.
However, what he said was right. This was indeed his home. Everything here, except for her, belonged to his Huangfu family.
Of course, he had the right to do whatever he wanted.
She resisted the anger of quarreling with him and smiled coldly. "I'm sorry, I was just too surprised just now. Mr. Huangfu, if you want to smash it, just smash it."
It would be best if she smashed the entire Huangfu family.
She simply ignored him and did not look at him. She turned around and fired up the stove, planning to cook the noodles again.
Even if she hated him, even if she hated the Huangfu family, she could not leave now. Although she felt a little humiliated in front of him, she still wanted to continue cooking.
Huangfu Qiye thought that she would be angry and make a scene with him.
He did not expect that she would be so calm and accept the fact that the noodles she had just cooked had been smashed.
His dark eyes stared thoughtfully at her back and her injured leg. His expression did not change.
After that, Tang Xiaowei cooked another bowl of noodles. This time, she was worried that they would be smashed again, so she did not plan to take the noodles out. Instead, she stood in the kitchen, took the chopsticks, and was about to eat.
Huangfu Qiye glanced over. The two maids who had been standing next to Tang Xiaowei immediately reached out and forcefully smashed the freshly cooked bowl of noodles on the ground again in front of Tang Xiaowei.
No one came to clean up the bowl that had just been smashed, and now there was another bowl on the ground.
These two bowls of noodles had been cooked by her while she endured the pain in her legs and hunger. Now, they were ruined by Huangfu Qiye just like that.
Tang Xiaowei could tolerate this the first time, but naturally, she could not endure the humiliation a second time.
She glanced at Huangfu Qiye and gritted her teeth. Her eyes were full of anger.
However, she did not want to and could not be bothered to argue with him because it was useless to argue in the end. It was just a waste of her strength.
Huangfu Qiye saw her angry gaze and sneered, "You hurt me with your kick. If you don't come and apologize to me, I won't arrange for people to take care of you anymore. You won't be able to eat anything either!"
So he was here to make her apologize?
Tang Xiaowei clenched her fists and dug her nails into her flesh. She sneered in anger. "Apologize? I don't think I'm wrong. You were the one who made the move that deserved a beating. That's why I kicked you."
