Chapter 566: She Hit
Because she was loyal and vicious enough.
Lu Yi dealt a swift kick at i Zhi’s stomach just before her hand could reach Yan Huan’s face.
Bam! i Zhi flew out of the door. She began howling with her hands on her stomach.
“Are you alright?” asked Lu Yi, pulling Yan Huan towards him. With a sullen look, he checked her face and arm to make sure they were fine.
Yan Huan shook her head and pouted piteously.
“She tried to hit .”
“Then she shall scram,” said Lu Yi. He would not have such a servant in his house. To him, i Zhi was nothing but a servant who dared raise her hand against her employer.
Who did she think she was?
He didn’t think for a second that Yan Huan was the one who started it. Not like it mattered anyway, because, to him, Yan Huan was never wrong.
“What’s going on here?” asked Ye Shuyun, rushing out as she heard i Zhi’s yowl. She found i Zhi sprawled across the ground, howling in agony with her hand on her stomach.
“She tried to hit , Mom,” said Yan Huan, her hands around Lu Yi. Yan Huan perfectly exemplified what the phrase “the thief that cried ‘thief’” ant, with an innocent look on her face.
“What?” Ye Shuyun could hardly believe her ears. “She tried to hit you?” she asked, pointing to the howling i Zhi on the floor.
“I guess she doesn’t like ,” Yan Huan lowered her head and tapped her index fingers together. “Who is she, Mom? A guest of ours?”
“Guest my ass! How dare a nanny hit her employer? This is absurd,” Ye Shuyun had to stop herself from kicking her in the face. At first, she looked past her ugliness for her diligence, but what was she doing now? Rebelling and trying to hit her employer?
Furious, she went straight to the living room to make a call to the maid agency.
“What kind of person did you send us? Not only is she ugly as sin, but she also tried to hit her employer! We are looking for a servant, not a master, mind you! You co and get her back right now! We will pay her for her services for the past few days, but if you send soone like this over again, don’t ever think about working with us again.”
Ye Shuyun’s eyes were as fierce as her tone was aggressive. The person who picked up the call kept apologizing, but what good were apologies for? If apologies could make up for mistakes, there wouldn’t be a need for cops.
Anyway, Ye Shuyun would never want a servant like i Zhi again.
As for Lu Jin, holding the phone his daughter-in-law had given him, already knew that he had no say in the won’s affairs. Not like he had a high opinion of i Zhi anyway. If a person didn’t even know how to behave, then what more is there to say about them?
i Zhi was still howling on the ground, but no one paid her any mind. When Ye Shuyun had cald down, she realized she couldn’t just let soone lie wounded in her house, no matter what she did.
“Relax, Mom. She’s only pretending,” said Lu Yi, sitting down. He fondled Yan Huan’s hair gently, as though he was comforting an angry kitten. He knew that there was sothing on her mind, but he wouldn’t ask. She will tell him herself when she’s ready. Still, he could sense that Yan Huan misliked, or even hated, i Zhi.
Relieved, Ye Shuyun reflected on whether she was too hostile just now. Maybe she should make another call to explain things better. Suddenly, i Zhi stood up, the muscles on her face twitching.
Curses flowed out from her lips in an endless stream, each one viler than the previous. She cursed at the Lu Family’s ancestors, their unborn progenies, and even Little Bean the cat.
Ye Shuyun’s face turned black from rage.
“Call the police! Sobody call the police!” hissed Ye Shuyun. She touched her forehead, feeling a little dizzy. Who hired this piece of work? Thank goodness she showed her true colors now, else who knows what she might do in the future?
Lu Jin was stone-faced with wordless anger. He turned and returned to his room. See no evil, and the heart will be at peace. Otherwise, he couldn’t guarantee that he wouldn’t give her another punt, as Lu Yi did.
What kind of nanny did they find them?
i Zhi stood outside, still as a stone, with her large suitcase thrown beside her. She felt her face. She didn’t think of herself as short-tempered, but it was their fault for hitting her first. But there was no point in dwelling on that now. She had lost all moral grounds.
She trudged forward with the suitcase in her hands.
And ran into Qin Xiaoyue.
“Aren’t you my brother’s new nanny? What’s wrong, are you leaving? Did they mistreat you?” asked Qin Xiaoyue artificially, sweeping her eyes across Lu Jin’s estate every once in a while. To her, everything here belonged to her. She would get the other half of the estate no matter what.
i Zhi put down her suitcase. She had heard stories about how the two Lu Families didn’t get along, so she began badmouthing Lu Jin’s family, fabricating details to spice up the story. The more she talked, the happier Qin Xiaoyue got. She raised an eyebrow to feign surprise.
“So that’s what they are truly like,” sighed Qin Xiaoyue. “I’m not even surprised, with how rich and powerful they are. A high-ranked military officer, a prosecutor, and the best actress of the year. They are probably raking in billions every year.”
“How about...” she pondered. “How about you co and work for us instead? We need a nanny anyway. Don’t worry, I’ll be generous to you as long as you do your job.”
“Thank you, Madam,” said i Zhi quickly. She was at a loose end too. Who would dare hire her after she goes back this ti? With what little salary she had, she would starve if she couldn’t find another job in ti.
And now things had taken the perfect turn. It’s as though soone gave her a pillow just as she was feeling sleepy. She pledged to rember Qin Xiaoyue’s kindness.
Qin Xiaoyue smiled smugly. In her heart, she was thinking about sothing else. Since Lu Jin’s family tried to chase i Zhi away, she would take her in instead. She liked everything and every person that made them uncomfortable.
Ye Shuyun spend the night brooding on how to find a reliable nanny like Xiao i. What happened cannot happen again. She was looking for a nanny, not a master to serve.
