Chapter 503: Chapter 503: He Is Your Brother-in-Law
The next day.
It happened to be the weekend, so Ella didn’t go to the office.
She got up at nine.
Last night, she thought changing the environnt would make it hard to sleep, but to her surprise, she slept soundly till dawn.
After freshening up, she went downstairs.
Mrs. Xu had just finished cleaning the living room.
“Madam, you’re awake. I’ve prepared breakfast. Would you like to eat now?”
“Yes, I would.”
“Alright, I’ll bring it over.”
While Ella was halfway through her breakfast, Ah Gui brought the people she asked for last night.
Mrs. Xu had inford him in the morning, and he arranged it right away, bringing the people over now.
Mrs. Xu entered the dining room and inford her.
Upon hearing this, Ella nodded, “Okay, got it. Have them wait a mont.”
Mrs. Xu replied, “Yes, madam.”
Five minutes later.
Ella appeared in the living room.
Ah Gui had brought five people.
“Madam.” Ah Gui called out to her.
She nodded and sat down on the sofa.
The five people in front of her looked about the sa age.
But she didn’t need all of them, just three would do.
“I only need three of you to stay.”
As soon as she finished speaking, one of them said, “Madam, hello, my na is Quan Fang, I’m forty-six this year. I’m skilled at housework, cleaning, making nutritious als, among others. I am quick and nimble. I’ve worked as a maid for several wealthy families before, so I have extensive experience.”
After hearing this, Ella nodded, “Okay, I see.”
The other aunts introduced their skills one by one.
Five minutes later.
“Alright, you can leave now, later I’ll tell Mrs. Xu who stays, and she’ll let you know.” Ella said.
After the five people left, Ella turned to Mrs. Xu and said, “Starting from the right, leave the first, second, and fourth aunts.”
Mrs. Xu replied, “Alright, I will let them stay.”
Ella: “Mrs. Xu, from now on, they’re under your managent. You just need to assign them suitable jobs, no need to report minor things like this to . Just manage them well.”
Mrs. Xu didn’t expect her to trust her so much, “Alright madam, rest assured, I’ll handle it well.”
From this short encounter, she found Ella quite easy to speak with, a nice person with a gentle personality.
“Alright, go ahead.”
With that, Mrs. Xu left.
At this point, Ah Gui said, “Madam, I took the liberty to find a gardener to take care of the rear garden plants specifically.”
These really need to be managed by soone dedicated.
Ella replied, “That’s fine, you handle it.”
“Also, buy so greenery for the living room, I’ll send you what to buy later, have soone purchase them.”
She always felt the living room was missing sothing, and now she realized what it was.
“Alright, I’ll have soone buy it soon.” Ah Gui said, “Madam, is there anything else missing?”
“That’s all for now.”
“Alright, if madam plans to go out today, you can choose a car in the garage, the keys are on the cabinet at the entrance.” Ah Gui said.
Ella: “Okay, noted, you go ahead.”
“Alright.”
After Ah Gui left, she got up and went to the backyard.
She wanted to see those flowers.
As she stepped into the backyard, the fragrance of flowers wafted over her.
Looking at the scene before her, she was indeed a bit amazed. The colorful tulips were pleasing and beautiful.
Not only flowers, but there was also a glass house just like the one in Helan Mansion, with various small objects and plants placed inside.
Seeing this glass house, she was entirely taken aback.
This was sothing she never expected Young Master Jiuqing would achieve.
This man indeed gave her one surprise after another.
Ella looked at the scene before her, her eyes a little red, and she felt like crying for so reason.
Moreover, at this mont, she felt a little like seeing him.
Yet, when she discovered all this, he wasn’t around, leaving a faint sense of loss in her heart.
She sat on the hanging chair in the glass house, suddenly thinking about what happened at the old mansion that day.
Gradually, the scenes of her alone with Young Master Jiuqing grew more frequent.
These scenes, like fra by fra pictures, kept flipping through her mind.
Her heart began to waver again.
She felt like her love seed to be reciprocated.
This was sothing she never dared to think about before.
She raised her head, looking at the golden sunlight, warm and cozy, lting her cold heart.
Maybe, she should try once more instead of choosing to escape.
Even if it doesn’t work out again this ti, she won’t regret it.
At this mont, she seed to have made a certain decision.
She picked up her phone, found Young Master Jiuqing’s WeChat, and sent him a ssage: “I have sothing very important to tell you when you return.”
After sending the ssage, ten minutes passed without a reply from him.
She thought he wouldn’t reply, so she didn’t linger on waiting.
A while later, Ah Gui ca looking for her.
“Madam.”
He called out to Ella, who was sitting on the hanging chair with her eyes closed.
Ella opened her eyes, looked at him, and asked, “What’s the matter?”
Ah Gui replied, “Soone has co to visit the Ye Residence.”
Ella raised her eyebrows slightly, “Who?”
Generally, not many people would visit the Ye Residence.
Ah Gui said, “Madam, soone you know, it’s Miss Shen Manni.”
Ella was sowhat surprised she managed to find her way here; she indeed had skills.
Ah Gui reported because of Shen Manni’s identity, as she was currently being blocked at the foot of the mountain.
“Madam, would you like to see her? If not, I can have her sent away.” Ah Gui said.
Ella pondered for a mont before speaking, “Let her co up.”
Initially, she wanted to keep it secret, but after thinking it over, it seed pointless.
Upon hearing this, Ah Gui responded, “Alright, I’ll have her brought up.”
He made the call while in front of Ella.
“Let her co up.”
The person blocking Shen Manni at the foot of the mountain looked at her upon hearing Ah Gui’s instructions, “Alright, brother Gui.”
From the mont Shen Manni appeared here, she carried an arrogant deanor.
She was already displeased with those blocking her.
Upon hearing them say, “You may go in.”
She beca even more haughty, “I’ve told you I am your master’s friend, yet you dared to block . This ti, I’ll let it slide. If there’s a next ti, I’ll have your master fire you!”
The man leading the group listened to her words and rolled his eyes, speechless.
He couldn’t be bothered to argue with her, so he urged, “Miss, if you don’t leave, then please get out!”
Who does she think she is?
Threatening him here, is water in her brain or sothing?
Shen Manni snorted coldly, started the car, and drove up.
Once Shen Manni drove the car up, she only saw the tightly closed iron gate, but the mansion in front of her shocked her.
It was her first ti here, and she didn’t expect it to be so big and luxurious.
Everywhere the eye could see was enviable.
Living in such a house, how happy must one be, she thought, feeling happy, and simultaneously admiring her own judgnt of people.
The person she set her eyes on was indeed different.
But now, she couldn’t get in, no one opened the door.
She pressed the horn a few tis.
Still, no one cared about her.
She furrowed her brows, Ye Jiuqing had already told her to co up, there’s no reason for them not to let her in.
Surely, it must be that the people here are snobbish.
She waited at the gate for about twenty minutes before the iron gate slowly opened to both sides.
But standing in the middle of the gate was a man.
Shen Manni recognized him, he was the assistant always beside Ye Jiuqing.
Suddenly, she curled her lips into a smug smile.
Ye Jiuqing sent him to receive her, so he must value her.
Ah Gui walked over and knocked on the car window.
Only then did Shen Manni lower the window.
“Miss Shen, please get out of the car here and co in with , because your car can’t go inside,” Ah Gui said expressionlessly.
Although a bit dissatisfied, Shen Manni felt it was nothing since Ye Jiuqing was willing to see her, so she got out here.
When Ah Gui saw her get out of the car, he turned around and walked inside, not saying anything about letting her go first or waiting for her.
She closed the car door and hurried to follow.
After entering, she was like granny Liu entering a grand view garden, her eyes shining as if she had never seen the world before.
The Shen family’s villa was worlds apart in comparison.
This place was not only luxurious and grand but also extrely beautiful.
When she walked into the vast living room, she was slightly surprised.
She had once thought that soone as icy as Ye Jiuqing would have a cold ho decor, but unexpectedly it was quite cozy.
However, there was no one in the living room.
At this ti, Ah Gui turned around and said to her, “Miss Shen, please have a seat for a while.”
Shen Manni didn’t dare to walk around casually and just found a random spot to sit down.
Soon, Mrs. Xu brought a cup of tea and placed it in front of her.
As soon as Mrs. Xu put it down, Shen Manni said, “I don’t drink tea, please change it to a cup of warm water for .”
Mrs. Xu didn’t think much of it, just felt that her way of speaking was a bit impolite and had a sense of command, as if she was the mistress of the house.
Mrs. Xu didn’t say anything, just responded with an “Alright,” and took the cup away.
Ah Gui stood silently watching, saying nothing.
Shen Manni looked at him and asked, “Is Young Master Jiuqing busy in the study?”
Ah Gui replied blandly, “Miss Shen, these matters aren’t your concern.”
As soon as Shen Manni heard this, her face fell.
“What kind of attitude is that?” She questioned.
Ah Gui: “…”
Is this woman’s brain caught in a door?
Did she think she was the mistress here?
Honestly, the words she said were just mindless!
“Miss Shen, maybe it’s who should ask you what attitude you have, right?” Ah Gui retorted.
Before she could speak, Ah Gui continued, “You aren’t that familiar with our master, and what he does isn’t for you to inquire about. Quite frankly, your being able to step into the Ye Residence today is simply because of dumb luck. Otherwise, you couldn’t even pass the gate down the hill, let alone sit here now.”
Shen Manni’s face turned blue and purple from his words, looking extrely unpleasant.
“What do you an by that? I was allowed here with your master’s consent,” she said.
Ah Gui chuckled, “Young Master Jiuqing isn’t ho at all.”
“What are you talking about?”
Upon hearing Ye Jiuqing wasn’t ho, Shen Manni jumped up.
Just then, a female voice ca from the doorway: “Manni sister, your upbringing is really worriso, coming as a guest to soone’s ho and screaming like that. Your voice is so loud, I heard it from the backyard.”
Ella walked in slowly, wearing a pair of slippers.
Shen Manni froze when she saw her appear.
“You…” She raised her hand, pointing at Ella, asking, “What are you doing here?”
Ella looked at her amused and said, “The way you say that, this is my ho, why wouldn’t I be here?”
Shen Manni was stunned, her eyes widening in disbelief at what she heard.
Helan Lingshuang said the Ye Residence is her ho?
How is that possible?
“You’re quite shaless, aren’t you? How dare you say this place is yours?” she said, glaring at Ella.
Ella wasn’t angry, instead, she smiled at her lightly and retorted, “Then, unless this place is your ho?”
After she said that, feeling sothing wasn’t right, she added, “Oh no, I should be asking if you intend to turn this place into your ho?”
Shen Manni didn’t speak, just pursed her lips.
The intentions in her heart, how could Ella not know?
“But I regret to inform you, the Ye Residence will never be yours, and you won’t have a chance either,” Ella stated clearly to her.
With an air of disdain, Shen Manni said, “Cousin, you act as if you’re the mistress here, aren’t you too confident? Although you’re also Young Master Jiuqing’s friend, that’s all you are, just a friend.”
Ella responded unhurriedly, “You’ve really guessed right.”
At this ti, Mrs. Xu walked out from the kitchen’s direction and placed the warm water Shen Manni requested in front of her.
Then, Mrs. Xu looked at Ella and asked, “Madam, would you like to have lunch at ho today? If so, I’ll start preparing the dishes.”
Ella replied, “Yes, prepare, I’ll eat before I go out.”
“Alright, madam.”
After saying this, Mrs. Xu turned and left the living room, heading to the kitchen.
And Shen Manni was completely stunned, frozen in place.
Even if she reacted slowly, her brain finally caught on.
But that’s impossible!
How could Ye Jiuqing possibly have married Helan Lingshuang?
The two of them have always been at odds, quarreling every ti they t.
So, this surely isn’t true, she must be acting.
“Cousin, you sure have thick skin, making them call you madam. Does Young Master Jiuqing know how shaless you are?”
Ella responded indifferently, “He not only knows, but he’s the one who insists that they call that. Do you have an issue with it?”
Shen Manni: “You…”
Ella interrupted her, “Shen Manni, in light of how slow your mind works, I won’t tease you anymore. Honestly, the Young Master Jiuqing you’re talking about is actually your brother-in-law.”
“Impossible!”
Shen Manni imdiately denied it.
Ella didn’t offer much explanation and only said, “Believe it or not, just stay away from my man in the future so I don’t beco unkind.”
