"Auntie, I've already apologized to you. If you don't forgive me, take off your clothes. I'll wash them for you personally and send them back to you! I'm really sorry!"
Chen Qinglian's heart skipped a beat. This little girl's ability to twist right and wrong was too strong!
She made her mistake sound so simple, but she emphasized them as being difficult!
The housekeeper's expression became even more awkward. "Sir..."
"Yining, be more polite to Aunt Chen," Lu Zhi said coldly. "Don't be rash again and apologize to Aunt Chen immediately."
Jiang Yining pursed her lips and said in a muffled voice, "I'm sorry."
Chen Qinglian smiled triumphantly.
However, she had only been happy for a few seconds when she heard Lu Zhi say, "Aunt Chen, I wasn't threatened by anyone. I left Yining at home because I like her. I'm very grateful that you're worried about me. However, if there's nothing else, you should not disturb Yining in the future."
What was the meaning of this?
On the surface, he was belittling Jiang Yining, but in reality, he was suppressing her?
"Ah Zhi..." Chen Qinglian panicked.
"It's getting late. You should go back and rest. I'll send someone to send you home." Lu Zhi called the servants over.
Looking at Lu Zhi's ashen face, Chen Qinglian knew that he was already furious. If she continued to pester him, it would only make things worse. Hence, she stopped talking.
But she wouldn't let it go!
When she went back and thought of a way, she would come and settle the score with this little demon!
"Alright, I'll go back first. You're not in good health. Remember to be careful."
"Yes."
Lu Zhi nodded lightly.
Chen Qinglian glared at Jiang Yining and left angrily.
There were only three people left in the living room.
The housekeeper was so frightened that her body trembled non-stop.
Chen Qinglian was Lu Zhi's wet nurse and had always been highly respected in the Lu family. No one dared to go against her wishes. Ever since she became Lu Zhi's housekeeper, Chen Qinglian had instructed her to keep an eye on the girls around Lu Zhi to prevent anyone from stealing the position of Young Mistress of the Lu family.
Over the years, she had done this job very well and received many benefits from Chen Qinglian.
She had thought that Jiang Yining was no different from other girls.
Therefore, she called Chen Qinglian to ask for credit from her.
She never thought that she would go for wool and come back shorn.
Lu Zhi looked down at Jiang Yining in his arms and asked, "Have you hugged enough?"
Jiang Yining let go of him in embarrassment and took two small steps back obediently. She said gratefully, "Thank you for not exposing me just now."
"Next time, don't pull me anymore. Call whoever bullies you, don't act on your own."
Lu Zhi patted the place she touched as if there was something dirty on it.
It was obvious that he despised her...
Jiang Yining secretly pursed her lips. She was clearly a girl, and she was the one who suffered.
Why did it seem like she had taken advantage of him?
Moreover, he had used "don't" twice!
This man's desire to control was too strong!
Lu Zhi didn't look at Jiang Yining anymore. Instead, his gaze fell on the female housekeeper who was not far away. He questioned, "Did you tip Aunt Chen off?"
"Sir, I didn't." The housekeeper was shocked. In her panic, she turned to Jiang Yining and said, "Miss Jiang, I was forced. Please forgive me."
"You're fired."
Lu Zhi spoke emotionlessly.
"Sir, I'm sorry! I know I was wrong! You can hit me, scold me, and even punish me, but don't chase me out!"
The housekeeper begged for mercy.
"Chase her away."
Lu Zhi ordered coldly with an expressionless face.
