"Young Master … Lingling was the one who filled the bathwater and called the ambulance. We, we don't know what happened. We just followed the rules."
The aromatherapy lamp in the bathroom was still emitting a faint yellow light at this moment.
Ling Han took a deep breath and felt that something was wrong.
"Who turned on the aromatherapy lamp?"
The two old servants looked at each other. One of them, who was fatter, lowered her head and said, "It was Ah Mei …"
"Where is she?"
"She, she said she had something to do at home two days ago and asked for leave."
In other words, the aromatherapy lamp had been in Ye Huanyan's bathroom for a long time.
There was nothing wrong with the aromatherapy lamp. It was no different from the ones in every bathroom in the villa. The only difference was that it was mixed with essential oil.
Ling Han smelled it and knew that it was the lavender essential oil that his friend had brought back from abroad to treat insomnia. After using it for a while, the doctor said that it was too strong and could cause accidents, so he gave it to the servants and told them to throw it away. Now, they took the initiative to change the normal aromatherapy oil in the bathroom.
Late at night, outside the hospital ward closest to the villa.
"Ah Mei's family isn't very rich, so she always secretly takes some of Miss Ye's things to sell. Usually, it's some kind of branded shopping bag. A shopping bag can sell for more than a hundred yuan. I found it twice. When I said that it was her, she said that it was useless to Miss Ye, so she just helped her deal with the trash. Later, she would also take some samples of Miss Ye's cosmetics from the counter … Miss Ye is very narrow-minded. I reminded her a few times, but she didn't take it seriously …"
Ling Han's face darkened.
The essential oil was indeed switched by the servant named Ah Mei.
These servants thought that he was easy to bully because he didn't treat Ye Huanyan well. Usually, they would secretly steal things from her room, but this time, they actually had their eyes on the things she usually used.
The things in Ling Han's villa were all of the best quality. A bottle of aromatherapy essential oil was worth more than ten thousand yuan. Who would have thought that there would be someone bold enough to do such a thing?
"Young Master, I'm not sure if Ah Mei did this. She's been home for a few days now. Why don't we ask her tomorrow when we come to work …"
"No need. When you go back, tell them by the way that from tonight onwards, you don't have to come back."
Ling Ling's face stiffened as she stuttered, "Young Master … we, we didn't do anything …"
Ling Han didn't listen to her explanation. He didn't care that her eyes were red and she was about to cry. He went straight into the ward and shut her out.
The night wind was rustling, but it was not necessarily cold.
Sometimes, inaction was also a sin, at least for Ling Han. He treated Ye Huanyan, who had lived under the same roof for ten years, like this, let alone a group of servants who had nothing to do with him.
In the ward, the air conditioner was on to keep the temperature in the room balanced.
In the single ward, a woman was lying on the bed with her brows tightly knitted together as if she had a nightmare.
She choked on water. Fortunately, they found her in time. If they had been a little later, she might not have been saved. She was fine now. The hospital was worried that she would get a respiratory infection, so they wanted to keep her here for observation for the night.
He pulled a chair over and stared at the woman on the bed. He didn't know if she was unconscious or sleeping, but his face was ashen.
Ever since he heard the doctor's words, his face had slowly darkened.
This woman was really troublesome. She almost drowned when taking a bath. She couldn't stand the wind and rain. Even if she left him, there were still many cruel things in this world.
He suddenly remembered that morning when she was eating in his car and choked. Her entire face was red and purple. If he hadn't passed her water, she might have choked to death.
Who did she inherit this from? Jiang Meilan's shrewd appearance didn't look like someone who could give birth to such a stupid daughter. Could it be that she was like her short-lived father?
Ling Han even suspected that Jiang Meilan's eyes were so sharp that she could read fortunes. If it weren't for her short-lived ex-husband, she wouldn't have been able to marry into the Ling family so easily.
When he realized that he was thinking so much, a long time had passed. The woman on the bed didn't seem to be sleeping well. She turned over and turned her back to Ling Han.
He immediately retracted his thoughts and his face turned cold.
She didn't forget to hide from him even in her dreams. Didn't she say that she loved him? She was really the same on the outside.
After looking at her for a long time, he couldn't help but think about it. In the past ten years, Ling Han couldn't explain his feelings for Ye Huanyan. After Jiang Meilan and Ling Dongming passed away in a car accident, the Old Madam felt terrible and brought Ye Huanyan to the old mansion to accompany her.
However, Ye Huanyan wasn't a member of the Ling family after all. There were many servants who gossiped about her. Without Jiang Meilan and Ling Dongming to support her, some of the gossip became even more unrestrained. Especially some of the female family members of Ling Dongming's business friends. Ling Han was a person who didn't like to interact with others. They used the excuse of visiting to get close to the Old Madam. When they saw Ye Huanyan, it was inevitable that they would have some thoughts.
First, they praised Ye Huanyan to the skies. Then, they tried to find out the relationship between this girl and the Ling family from the Old Madam's words. Their words all revealed that they wanted to get close to her.
However, when they found out that Ye Huanyan was just a burden brought along by their stepmother, their attitudes immediately changed 180 degrees. Often, the words that were about to come out of their mouths or words that had already been said changed.
Something like, "My son will become my nephew, and my husband's younger brother will become a distant cousin who studied abroad."
The conditions were not bad, but the meaning changed.
In the end, they didn't like Ye Huanyan.
This was also one of the reasons why the Old Madam was anxious to find a good husband for her. After all, she couldn't let the Ling family drag her down. Jiang Meilan had served the Old Madam wholeheartedly when she was alive. Compared to Wen Qingwan's indifference, Jiang Meilan was indeed a likable daughter-in-law. The Old Madam pitied the girl she left behind.
After that, Ye Huanyan was brought up by the Ling family. She was always a little uneasy. Ling Han simply found a reason to bring her out of the old mansion and threw her in the house that Jiang Meilan and Ling Dongming used to live in. It was a little empty. Ling Han also asked her if she needed to find a nanny, but she rejected him.
"How often do you come to see me?" This was the first thing she asked when she moved back there.
Ling Han frowned. "The company is very busy. Maybe once a week, or maybe once a month. I can't say for sure."
Ling Dongming was in the prime of his life. When he suddenly passed away, the power of the company suddenly fell into his hands. Although he had been honing his position as the deputy director for many years, in the eyes of the board of directors, he was still an inexperienced hothead. There were many people who wanted to seize power in the open and in the dark.
There were competitors outside, and there were treacherous officials inside. During that period of time, Ling Han was facing enemies from both sides. Indeed, he had no time to care about Ye Huanyan.
So when she asked this question, he wasn't trying to evade it.
