The Butler rushed over when he heard the commotion. “Su Liang! Are you tired of staying here?” In his panic, he didn’t forget to press Su Liang’s head down and apologize to Gu Han. “Can’t you even say an apology? Just you wait before I deal with you later.”
“I’m sorry, Young Master Gu.” Su Liang knelt on the ground and lowered her head, not daring to raise it.
“Hurry up and get lost. You’re an eyesore!” The butler urged Su Liang to leave with a dark face. Su Liang picked up the tea tray with trembling hands and quickly got up to leave.
Young master Gu’s face gradually darkened. He was annoyed by the butler’s attitude.
“Hey, wait a minute.” Su Liang heard Gu Han call out to her, “Why are you always wearing a mask?”
Upon hearing Gu Han’s question, Su Liang stood stiffly on the spot. The air around her seemed to have frozen. She didn’t dare to speak, as if the secrets of that night would creep out with minds of their own.
Gu Han looked at the stunned girl in front of him with an amused smile and asked again, “Is there some secret?”
“Young master Gu, you may not know this, but this new maid has a big black birthmark on her face, which is very scary. She was afraid of scaring the Missus, so she requested to wear a mask at all times,” the butler quickly interrupted. He was afraid that young master Gu would find out that Su Liang was actually forced to wear a mask because she resembled the Missus.
“Oh, is that so?” Gu Han stared at Su Liang as if he wanted to get a definite answer from her.
Su Liang felt the butler’s cold gaze that seemed to want to skin her alive. She gently hugged the tea tray in her hand and nodded slowly.
Gu Han waved his hand to indicate that she could leave. As he looked at her retreating figure, his expression became more and more inscrutible.
Who was she? Why did she seem so inexplicably familiar? It was like the girl had spent the night with him. Her face was full of tears, yet she had stubbornly bit her lips and refused to make a sound. Was she really wearing a mask because of her scary appearance?
“Young master Gu, sorry to have kept you waiting!” Gu Han’s thoughts were pulled back to reality by Master Bai’s greeting. “May I know why you are here today?”
Gu Han’s gaze fell on Bai Qing, who was following closely behind Master Bai. “Master Bai, I came here personally today to discuss the matter of marriage with you.” Bai Qing was dressed in a tight black dress, and her makeup was exquisite. Under the bright crystal chandelier, she looked particularly gorgeous.
Everyone present was stunned on the spot.
Bai Qing held her mother’s hand tightly. So this was the explanation that Gu Han had come to her with! Gently suppressing her excitement, she responded to Bai Qing with her eyes. It was a success!
The next day, the entire city spread the news that Bai Qing, the daughter of the Bai family, slept with the number one noble in Sea city, Gu Han. Gu Han had personally come to propose marriage, and all the socialites in the city were jealous and resentful.
Because the Bai family had latched onto the Gu family, they were in a high spirits for a time. They attended all kinds of top-class banquets, and there was an endless stream of guests coming and going.
The entire Bai family was busy preparing for the engagement between Bai Qing and Gu Han. Only Su Liang and the entire Bai family were in a jovial mood.
Every day, they worked the hardest and most tiring work in the Bai family. They were also ostracized by the other servants, and at night, they had to work part-time to earn tuition fees. Her mother, Jiang Wan, did not even seem to have recovered from her illness.
That night, as usual, Su Liang finished her work at the Bai family’s house and prepared to ride her bicycle to the high-class banquet hall in Block A of the international trade building to work as a part-time waitress. On the way, she was stopped by a blue supercar on the side of the road, causing her bicycle to nearly tip over.

Su Liang frowned and was about to question him. He looked up and saw the man in the driver’s seat. “Chen Yan…”
The man smiled dotingly. “Su Liang, where are you going so late at night?”
A year ago, Su Liang had entered Shen University and met Chen Yan, who was two years older than her. Chen Yan was a popular figure in the school. He was bright, cheerful, gentle, and rich. He was the idol of many girls in the school. Somehow, he had fallen in love with Su Liang. No matter how much Su Liang turned him down, he refused to give up.
Su Liang smiled helplessly. “I’m in a hurry to my part-time job.”
“Let me give you a ride. It’s too tiring for you to cycle like this..”
