Chapter 97: Chapter 97 Dismissed Chapter 97: Chapter 97 Dismissed “You’ve never done anything bad against the Lai Family; you’ve rely targeted specifically.” Not letting Aunt Wu continue, Tang Li breaks in: “But you forgot, while you were targeting , you indirectly hurt other mbers of the family as well.”
Aunt Wu shakes her head hastily: “I didn’t an to hurt anyone…”
As she speaks, she turns to look at Ouyang Qian.
That was a pleading look.
On the night of the birthday feast, it was the Mistress who asked her to give the dress and the brooch to Tang Li.
She was just following the Mistress’s orders.
Although the Mistress appeared to treat Tang Li well, as a woman who had lived for decades, she, of course, knew that no woman would truly regard the product of her husband’s infidelity as her own, and so she looked down on this illegitimate daughter both openly and secretly.
Who would have expected that this illegitimate daughter would turn the tables on her!
Once certain accusations were applied, she probably wouldn’t be able to stay with the Lai Family anymore.
And her husband—
Her husband has always been the Lai Family’s driver.
When the ti ca, he would also lose his job because of her.
Ouyang Qian seed as if she hadn’t seen the hopeful gaze in Aunt Wu’s eyes; her expression was calm, as if this matter had nothing to do with her.
“I just told the truth to Dad and Aunt, as for how to handle it, it’s still up to Dad and Aunt’s decision.” Tang Li says, her clear eyes looking towards Lai Wenyan.
The more composed she behaved, the less the other mbers of the Lai Family could favor a maid.
“The recording in Ah Li’s cellphone doesn’t seem to be fake.” Qin Yansheng muses before speaking up: “If there is really sothing wrong with the conduct of a dostic worker in the house, keeping them would indeed not be good.”
Lai Shengxia slightly curls her lips up but doesn’t speak up for Aunt Wu any longer.
In an instant, Aunt Wu feels like she’s fallen into an icy pit.
With her knees bending, she kneels at Ouyang Qian’s feet with tears streaming down: “Madam, I’ve worked for the Lai Family for 14 years. If there’s no credit, there’s hard work, and I’d never dare do anything to wrong you and the Councilman.”
As she speaks, Aunt Wu desperately looks at Lai Wenyan: “Councilman, you know my no-good son, who’s never had a proper job. My daughter-in-law and two granddaughters all rely on my husband’s and my salary. If I lose this job, I really don’t know how to support the whole family…”
Tang Li: “Aunt Wu, you’re 57 this year, right?”
“If I’m not mistaken, both you and your husband have paid into social security. Starting from two years ago, you can receive at least one thousand seven hundred yuan a month in retirent insurance, so life won’t be as difficult as you describe.” Her gaze settles on Aunt Wu calmly: “Without rules, there’s no square. If every dostic worker were like you, disliking soone in the employer’s family and then acting out by stealing dresses or tampering with the juice, this ho would soon be turned upside down.”
“I didn’t… I didn’t!”
Aunt Wu’s face changes drastically, while tugging at Ouyang Qian’s hand pleadingly: “Madam, you know , if it weren’t—”
“Enough!” Ouyang Qian suddenly cuts her off.
Aunt Wu is stunned, with tears in the corner of her eyes.
Ouyang Qian withdraws her hand, takes a deep breath, and then exhales slowly, then proceeds to handle the situation impartially: “Although, Aunt Wu, you were recruited by , now that you have made repeated mistakes, perhaps you really are too old. You should go ho and rest for a while. As for everything else, we’ll talk about it later.”
This ant she was to be dismissed…
Aunt Wu still can’t believe it, but Ouyang Qian calls another dostic helper to take her away.
“Madam…”
Before she can speak further, Ouyang Qian says: “Don’t worry, Old Liang is still working as the driver at our house, you are you, and he is he, we won’t dismiss him, but there’s a condition, you and your husband mustn’t cause any more trouble.”
