When Ye Huanyan entered the house and changed her shoes at the entrance, she finally realized that something was wrong.
Usually, the servants in the house were busy with their own duties. There were people busy in the kitchen, living room, and laundry room. But today, the whole house was very quiet and empty.
She had one foot in the soft pink home slippers, and the other foot in her flats. She suddenly froze at the entrance.
Where were the people at home?
Just as she was thinking, she heard the beeping sound of someone pressing the password.
With a click, the door was slightly opened. A short-haired woman struggled to carry a suitcase and "squeezed" through the gap. She wore a faded pink sportswear. She just stuck her head out of the door. When she saw Ye Huanyan, her face suddenly froze.
"Miss Ye... you... you're back."
Ye Huanyan sized up the woman who came in with a surprised expression.
"Ling Ling? What happened? Where did you go? Where are the people at home? "
Lingling was the servant who filled the bathtub for Ye Huanyan last night. She and Ah Mei were the youngest in the family. They were only in their early twenties. The rest of the servants were older aunts.
At this time, Ling Ling stood at the door with two large black suitcases in her hands. She didn't dare put them down because she didn't want to dirty the carpet at the entrance. She looked at Ye Huanyan with sweat on her forehead. Her face turned pale when she thought about what happened last night.
"It's a long story. Miss Ye, why... why don't you change your shoes and sit down first? I'll tell you."
On the sofa in the living room.
Ling Ling made a cup of tea and handed it to Ye Huanyan. Her hands were a little cold, so she took it to warm them.
"What happened? Where are the other aunts? "
"They were all fired." Ling Ling was a little scared and stood to the side, rubbing her hands.
"Sit down and tell me." Ye Huanyan frowned.
Ling Ling panicked and quickly waved her hands.
"No, no, I'm fine standing."
Ye Huanyan didn't insist. She just felt that Ling Ling was acting strange today. She seemed to be afraid of her and was very careful with her words and actions, as if she was afraid of stepping on a landmine.
"Why did you resign? Who fired him? "
Ling Ling hesitated for a moment. "It's Young Master. After you drowned in the bathroom last night, I sent you to the hospital. Young Master arrived in the middle of the night and asked me to come back. He also told the other aunties about the dismissal. This morning, Assistant Qiao gave us our salaries."
Ye Huanyan frowned. She did not understand why Ling Han dismissed these people.
Ling Ling's face suddenly turned pale, and she knelt down in front of Ye Huanyan. Because she knelt too hastily, her knees hit the floor with a loud bang, scaring Ye Huanyan so much that she jumped up from the sofa.
"What are you doing?"
"Miss Ye, I was wrong. We were immature in the past, but I really didn't look down on you. I've always worked hard and seriously. We didn't treat you well in the past because I didn't dare to fight back. I was afraid that I wouldn't fit in. I just … I just wanted to work hard. I'm sorry, Miss Ye …"
Ling Ling was crying and snot. She knelt in front of Ye Huanyan and refused to get up. No matter how hard Ye Huanyan tried to pull her, she wouldn't budge.
"Get up first …"
Ye Huanyan had no strength left. She sat on the floor and yelled with difficulty.
"Are you done? Why are you crying? Explain it to me. "
Ling Ling was so scared by her yelling that she didn't dare to make a sound. Her crying stopped, but she couldn't hold back the sobs in her throat. Her shoulders twitched as if she was burping.
"I … uh … I … uh …"
"Forget it, forget it. Drink some water first."
Ye Huanyan helplessly supported herself on the sofa and stood up. She passed the teacup on the coffee table to Ling Ling Ling.
After gulping down several mouthfuls of water, Ling Ling Ling finally stopped crying. She told her story with a slight choking voice.
"Originally, Young Master wanted to chase us all away, but in the morning, the aunties didn't want to leave, so they asked Assistant Qiao to plead for them. Assistant Qiao made the call in front of us, so we didn't hear what Young Master said. But in the end, Assistant Qiao said that I was the only one left. She said that it was Young Master's orders, so I understood everything. Young Master despised us for not taking good care of you before. Last night, I sent you to the hospital, so he asked me to stay."
Hearing this, Ye Huanyan's expression gradually changed. She thought about the whole thing from beginning to end. Her lips curved into a self-deprecating smile. If Ling Han really cared about her that much, why would he torment her until she was on the verge of death and bring trouble to himself?
"So, Miss Ye, I was wrong in the past. Please don't hold it against me. I'll definitely work hard in the future."
Ling Ling wishfully believed that this batch of helpers were fired because they didn't take good care of her.
Ye Huanyan didn't have that much confidence.
All of her confidence had disappeared under Ling Han's trampling. She became more rational in this kind of situation. "What did you say to him when he went to the hospital last night?"
Ling Ling told her that Ah Mei secretly changed the essential oil of the aromatherapy lamp.
The trace of strangeness on Ye Huanyan's face gradually disappeared. She laughed, but didn't look happy at all. "I see."
Lingling asked hesitantly as she watched her go up the stairs. She was a little confused.
"Miss Ye, what do you want to eat for lunch? I'll prepare it early."
"No need. You should rest. Don't disturb me today. I want to sleep for a while."
She held the stairs and her footsteps became slower and slower. It was as if all her strength was being sucked out of her as she went upstairs.
She fell on the snow-white sheets and forced herself to turn over. She looked at the prints on the ceiling with a gloomy expression.
Ling Han chased this batch of servants away. Was it because some of them had stolen things while others turned a blind eye to it, or was it because they didn't respect her? The answer was self-evident in her heart. Ling Han couldn't rub sand in his eyes. Even if she didn't drown, once he found out that these people had such bad characters, they wouldn't be able to stay.
It was better not to think too much.
Who said that deep love didn't live long, and extreme wisdom would hurt?
Now that she thought about it, it made sense. In love, the one who loved the most would be hurt the most. Naturally, she wouldn't have a good life. It would be strange if she could live long if she was depressed all the time.
Fortunately, she wasn't a smart person. Ye Huanyan's mind was a mess when she thought about it. Gradually, her eyelids couldn't stay open and she fell asleep.
The phone that had been on the bedside all night flashed twice and an unknown number appeared. Ye Huanyan was in a deep sleep and just thought it was a dream. Her temples were throbbing because of the noise. She turned over the quilt and wrapped herself in it. She closed her eyes and listened.
At noon, a black business car stopped in front of the villa. Ling Han got out of the car, took off his coat on the drying rack at the entrance, changed into slippers, and went straight into the living room.
Ling Ling was busy in the kitchen alone. She had just finished cooking lunch and was hesitating whether to go upstairs to call someone when she heard a noise in the living room.
