Chapter 150: Chapter 150 Saved Her Life in Secret Chapter 150: Chapter 150 Saved Her Life in Secret Ye Chuyi looked at her, “Tian Mam, your thoughts and mine, they’re not quite the sa. Lin Yueqin said that you never went to school and are illiterate, but the text ssages you sent prove otherwise.”
Tian Qiugui’s speech beca clear and fluent, “I can read and write, not only that, but I am also a college graduate.”
“College graduate?”
Ye Chuyi was surprised. College graduates from that era were highly valuable. If she was a college graduate, how did she end up working as a maid in the Wen Family?
As if reading her mind, Tian Qiugui explained, “My true identity must remain hidden, so I have always used a false identity and na. Good jobs require thorough background checks, but being a maid doesn’t.”
Ye Chuyi was stunned by Tian Qiugui’s directness.
After a while, she managed a bitter smile, “There’s probably not a single good person by Lady Wen’s side. It’s a miracle she has survived this long.”
“It’s not a miracle that she has survived; it’s my doing.”
Tian Qiugui’s voice was unemotional, “She provided a place to stay, and in return, I covertly saved her life. After she fell ill, soone tampered with her dicine. It was I who secretly switched it back for her.”
Ye Chuyi looked at her for a long ti before speaking softly, “Thank you.”
“Why thank ? You have no relation to Lady Wen; you’re rely the daughter of her servant, and you have not t her many tis.”
“That’s true, I haven’t t her often but when I was young, Madam took care of , and even the continuation of my education was courtesy of Madam. I am grateful to her and wouldn’t want any harm to co her way.”
Tian Qiugui looked at her with a hint of surprise in her eyes, but that surprise was quickly concealed.
In the grand sche of things, fate has its plans. The separated mother and daughter, ultimately, were still connected by mutual concern and care.
Like begets like; the dragon begets the dragon, and the phoenix birth the phoenix, while mice are born to dig holes, and sparrows to nest in crevices.
Lady Wen’s daughter, like her, had a tender heart. Madam had only casually helped her a few tis, and she had held it in her heart all this ti, always thankful.
Lin Yueqin’s daughter, despite being raised by the kind and beautiful Lady Wen, didn’t learn a shred of kindness; her inherent pettiness and scheming couldn’t be obliterated no matter how much richness she was showered with.
She extorted both Ye Chuyi and Wen Nianyou, but their attitudes towards her were completely different, which was telling of their true natures.
“I’ve been out for too long; I should head back. I’ll send you a new account number; rember to transfer ten million to .”
Tian Qiugui said this and then turned to leave.
“I’ve already given you five million, but you did not keep your promise. How can I trust that if I give you another ten million, you will reveal anything? Or maybe you don’t know any secret at all and are just extorting .”
Tian Qiugui didn’t turn around, “There is certainly a secret, an important one. Give the ten million, and I’ll tell you at the right ti. I’m speaking to you about this because you have already given five million; otherwise, I wouldn’t have said a word.”
“Of course, it’s best if you don’t call the police, or you will never learn this secret. That would be a great loss for you, so I hope you choose wisely.”
Ye Chuyi spoke softly, “I have one last question.”
“Ask.”
“My father’s murder case from years ago, do you know the truth about it? Did he really kill soone?”
“I am not aware of that, Lin Yueqin never talks about it.”
With that said, she did not stay any longer and returned to the villa.
Ye Chuyi also slowly left from behind the holly trees in the surveillance blind spot and drove away.
However, this ti, she did not transfer money to Tian Qiugui so easily.
Though Tian Qiugui had not revealed much, Ye Chuyi perceived that even if she transferred the ten million, that so-called secret would not be imdiately disclosed.
She said she’d tell her at the right ti, but who knows how long that would be?
The night deepened, and at one in the morning, the phone call she had been waiting for all day finally ca through.
Ivy’s voice was tinged with fatigue, probably from a lack of rest all day, “Boss, I found sothing.”
