After settling the items she was gonna bid on at the charity auction, Old Madam Chu finally resolved her problem.
She yawned and said, “I’m tired… you guys go ahead!”
Sun Jing and Ye Jiu got up and left Old Madam Chu’s room.
Ye Jiu ran into Wan Xiang as soon as she came out.
“Sister Wan Xiang, can you prepare a set of tools for me too?” Ye Jiu looked at Wan Xiang and asked with a smile.
Wan Xiang answered, “Yes, there are some in the storage room. I’ll go and get them for you.”
Ye Jiu thanked her and turned to Sun Jing, “Auntie Sun, I’ll have to trouble you for the cocktail party…”
Sun Jing nodded and said, “I’ll come back to confirm with you after the arrangements are done.”
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first.” After Sun Jing said that, she looked at the orchids in the garden and said, “Take good care of them…”
Ye Jiu replied, “Okay.” Then, she watched Sun Jing leave.
Wan Xiang quickly returned to the corridor and handed the tools to Ye Jiu.
The two of them went to the garden together.
After quietly arranging the orchids for a while, Ye Jiu said in a low voice, “Thank you!”
They weren’t talking earlier so she said it awkwardly…
After a long while, Wan Xiang smiled slightly and said, “You’re welcome…”
Ye Jiu knew that Wan Xiang had been creating opportunities for her to show off in front of Old Madam Chu.
In the past, she had resisted Wan Xiang’s good intentions and even thought that Wan Xiang must have had other motives for doing this.
However, her attitude was completely different now…
She knew Wan Xiang’s intentions and knew that Wan Xiang was doing this for her…
Ye Jiu recalled when she first entered the Chu family.
Due to the huge change, Ye Jiu was gloomy and irritable.
In the entire Chu family, other than Chu Mo and Old Madam Chu who had endured her bad temper…
Only Wan Xiang would occasionally try to chat with her when she passed on a message for Old Madam Chu.
At that time, Ye Jiu was like a firecracker that could explode at any time.
Any word from Wan Xiang would cause Ye Jiu to have an intense reaction.
As time passed, Wan Xiang did not talk to Ye Jiu anymore…
The two of them seemed to have maintained a parallel relationship…
This time, Ye Jiu felt Wan Xiang’s kindness…
She also sincerely expressed her gratitude…
After thanking her, the two of them did not talk anymore, but quietly took care of the orchids.
A figure appeared outside the flowerbed.
She stared at the two of them with disdain. After a long while, she sneered, “It’s not something that can be shown on the stage…”
The two of them turned to look at the person who spoke.
Lin Ying’s arrogant and arrogant attitude looked a little comical in the eyes of Ye Jiu and Wan Xiang.
The two of them ignored her and continued to work.
Seeing that the two of them actually ignored her, Lin Ying was instantly furious.
She raised her voice and shouted coldly, “It’s just taking care of flowers for the Old Madam. What’s there to be arrogant about?”
Ye Jiu and Wan Xiang looked at each other and smiled, but they still ignored Lin Ying’s “mad dog”-like clamor.
Lin Ying was instantly angry. She rushed to the front of the two of them and raised her foot to kick the pot of orchids in front of Ye Jiu.
Ye Jiu was furious.
She stood up and glared at Lin Ying. She held the shovel tightly in her hand.
Lin Ying raised her chin arrogantly and snorted, “What are you trying to do?”
Ye Jiu narrowed her eyes and stared at Lin Ying. She wanted to shovel her.
At this moment, a voice came from afar, “What are you doing?”
The three of them turned around at the same time and saw Old Madam Chu walking over from afar.
She saw the overturned flower pot on the ground and her face immediately turned gloomy.
“It’s them!” Lin Ying rushed to Old Madam Chu.
“They were careless!” Lin Ying grabbed Old Madam Chu’s arm and complained about Ye Jiu.
“I just walked past here and saw Ye Jiu knocking over the flowers!” Lin Ying said and pointed at Ye Jiu with one hand.
“She must have done it on purpose!” Lin Ying accused angrily, “She’s angry that you asked her to take care of the flowers here!”
Ye Jiu looked at Lin Ying as if she was looking at a child who was throwing a tantrum.
That ugly look made Ye Jiu almost laugh out loud.
Old Madam Chu lowered her head and looked at Lin Ying who was holding her hand. She glanced at Lin Ying’s white shoes.
The shoes were stained with soil…
Old Madam Chu’s gaze turned cold and she said, “Why can’t they work here!”
“Follow me!” Old Madam Chu said as she pulled Lin Ying away.
Lin Ying refused to let go and wanted Old Madam Chu to punish Ye Jiu.
Old Madam Chu’s gaze swept over Lin Ying.
Lin Ying immediately shrank back and obediently followed behind Old Madam Chu.
