"Miss... Miss Ye, I don't know what you're talking about." Xiao Xiang swallowed her saliva and pretended to be calm.
Ye Jiu tightened the collar of her shawl and turned around to look at the parasol tree. There was a faint smile in her eyes.
This time, she would protect Chu Yu, protect everyone in the Chu family, and protect... Chu Mo!
"Alright, the wind is strong. Let's go back!" After Ye Jiu said that, she turned around and walked towards the main house.
Splash..
A stream of water fell from the sky and sprayed all over Ye Jiu's body.
She turned around and saw Old Wu holding a pipe to water the plants in the yard.
Seeing that Ye Jiu had noticed him, Old Wu did not care. He snorted coldly and turned around to continue watering the garden.
Ye Jiu smiled helplessly. She knew that Old Wu did not like her.
She did not blame him, because the old her was unlikeable!
"Miss Ye, are you... Okay?" Xiao Xiang seemed to be concerned. She turned around and was ready to scold Old Wu, "Old Wu, you!"
"Let's go!" Ye Jiu tightened her wet shawl and walked quickly to the main house.
When she returned to her room, Ye Jiu rushed into the bathroom and took off her wet clothes.
"Go and get me some hot water," Ye Jiu ordered without turning her head.
"I'll go and get Xiao Nan," Xiao Xiang said and was about to leave the room.
Ye Jiu walked out of the bathroom in her bathrobe and looked at Xiao Xiang coldly. "What? You don't know how to do it?"
"I..." Xiao Xiang paused, her face obviously reluctant.
"Or do you only know how to serve Young Master Huai?" Ye Jiu looked at Xiao Xiang with a cold smile.
"Miss Ye, you..." Xiao Xiang looked at Ye Jiu in horror.
Ye Jiu walked forward and held Xiao Xiang's cheeks tightly with one hand. "I'm warning you, you'd better not let me find out that you've done anything to hurt Little Yu!"
"Otherwise..." Ye Jiu's lips curled into a cruel smile.
Ye Jiu did not finish her words, and Xiao Xiang only felt a faint fishy and sweet taste in her mouth.
Letting go of Xiao Xiang's hand, Ye Jiu turned around and walked to the bathroom. She said coldly, "Get lost!"
"If Young Master Huai hadn't said that you were still useful, I..." Xiao Xiang gritted her teeth and left angrily.
Ye Jiu placed both of her hands on the counter in front of the makeup mirror and looked at her wet self in the mirror. "Ye Jiu, you have to take revenge!"
For her family, for herself, and for the innocent members of the Chu family in her previous life!
For... Chu Mo!
Ye Jiu's heart ached.
She sank herself into the warm water..
After taking a shower, it was already dark. Ye Jiu heard the sound of cars coming in from outside the door.
Chu Mo must have returned!
After changing into the dress that Chu Mo had prepared for her, Ye Jiu ran into the hall. However, she only saw the butler closing the door.
"Chu Mo is back, isn't he?" She ran up and asked.
The butler did not expect Ye Jiu to come. He nodded blankly and said, "Young Master just returned to the study. He said that he doesn't want anyone to disturb him."
Hearing the butler's words, Ye Jiu was a little disappointed, and her eyes dimmed.
"Perhaps, Miss Ye can help to bring coffee to the study?" The butler looked at Ye Jiu with some reluctance.
Ye Jiu's eyes immediately lit up and she nodded her head fiercely. "Alright! I'll go prepare the coffee!"
When she walked into the kitchen, Ye Jiu realized that she did not understand Chu Mo's preferences at all.
Seeing her standing helplessly in front of the coffee machine, Nanny Li shook her head and walked forward. "Young Master only drinks freshly ground black coffee."
As she said that, she pointed her chin at the other side of the table. "The coffee beans are in the second cabinet above, the green one!"
"The utensils are in the first cabinet below!" Nanny Li continued and looked at Ye Jiu with satisfaction as she followed the instructions.
It was also Ye Jiu's first time making coffee, so the kitchen was in a mess.
"Hurry up and send it over! Leave this to me!" Nanny Li smiled as she watched Ye Jiu carry the coffee and gently pushed her out of the kitchen.
"This..." Ye Jiu was hesitating.
Nanny Li waved her hand impatiently. "Everything in the kitchen is mine! Go, go, go!"
Ye Jiu felt an indescribable sense of peace and warmth in her heart.
How long had it been since Nanny Li had spoken to her in such a warm manner? She was grumbling in a warm tone.
Yes, when she first came to the Chu family, Nanny Li was indeed like this...
However, everything changed after that...
It was all because of her!
This time, she wanted to retain the warmth and beauty. She did not want to lose it again!
Ye Jiu walked to the door of the study with a cup of coffee. She took a deep breath and raised her hand to knock on the door...
