Xia An'an and Hao Youyou turned around at the same time and saw Si Lijue walking over.
Hao Youyou quickly let go of Xia An'an's arm and complained, "Sir, Miss He has a cold! We asked Xia Anan to make some ginger soup for Miss He, but she made all sorts of excuses and even used you as a shield to refuse to work! "
Si Lijue said coldly, "I told her not to do it."
Hao Youyou's face turned pale.
She looked at Si Lijue in surprise, then at Xia Anan. Could it be that what this woman said was true?
Si Lijue continued, "Nianchu has three people to take care of her. Don't you have hands and feet? Why do you have to ask Xia An'an to make the ginger soup? "
"This …"
Hao Youyou stuttered for a long time, "But … she has nothing to do …"
"All you do is play with He Nianchu. Don't tell me you have something to do?"
Hao Youyou's face turned red again. Si Lijue's aura was too strong and she didn't dare to speak. She began to tremble, "Keke … but …"
"I don't need lazy people in my villa. If you want to make ginger soup, do it. Don't push everything to others. Look at your status. You're just an intermediate maid. Xia An'an is a senior maid. Where did you get the confidence to order her around? Do you really think you're better than others just because you're by his side? "
Hao Youyou was on the verge of tears from Si Lijue's words. She stammered, "I-I'll go right away!"
Then she ran off. Xia An'an looked at Hao Youyou's flustered figure and suddenly felt pity for her. However, she felt strange. Although Si Lijue was usually so cold that he could freeze people to death, he didn't have a bad temper and wouldn't scold the servants. But this time, she clearly felt that Si Lijue was targeting her.
Hao Youyou's words were filled with anger.
Was he in a bad mood?
Just as she was guessing, Si Lijue walked over. His tall figure immediately cast a shadow beside her, as if he wanted to envelop Xia An'an entirely.
Xia An'an was also a little afraid of Si Lijue. She shrunk her neck, not knowing what this person wanted to do.
When he saw Si Lijue reach out his hand, he felt like he was going to hit someone.
Xia An 'an shrank back even more. She couldn't help but close her eyes, but then she felt her hand being raised, followed by a scolding. "Xia An' an, how stupid are you? You clearly know that your arm has been grabbed, yet you still let someone grab it so tightly. Do you think your injury isn't serious enough? "
Xia An 'an suddenly opened his eyes and met Si Lijue's angry eyes.
From his eyes, Xia An 'an seemed to see a trace of heartache, but that trace of emotion disappeared very quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was completely found.
Xia An 'an thought he was seeing things.
She stammered, "I didn't expect her to grab my arm directly …"
"Don't you know how to struggle?"
Si Lijue was furious.
Xia An 'an felt wronged. "Won't it hurt more if you struggle?"
When Si Lijue heard this, he was furious. But then he remembered that he had previously said that he would draw a line between them. If he cared too much, wouldn't he go back on his promise?
He took a deep breath and flung Xia An 'an's hand away. He turned around and said coldly, "Hurry up and heal your arm. My villa doesn't keep idle people."
With that, he turned around and left.
Xia An 'an looked at Si Lijue's back and a trace of disappointment flashed across her eyes.
Was it only because of this reason?
But Si Lijue wasn't wrong. Because of her injury, she hadn't worked for a long time. For a servant, this was indeed not good enough.
Xia An 'an pressed down on her numb arm and slowly walked towards her bedroom.
…
When He Nianchu found out that Si Lijue had protected Xia An 'an, he was furious.
When Si Lijue came to see her, she was also emotionally unstable. She didn't even want to talk to Si Lijue.
Si Lijue stayed in He Nianchu's room for half an hour and said a total of three sentences. Two of them were initiated by him, but He Nianchu only responded with an "En" or didn't respond at all.
She wanted to use this method to express her dissatisfaction.
Why couldn't that Xia An 'an make ginger soup?
If he had given her the shawl last night, everything would be fine!
In the end, this was all Si Lijue's fault!
She threw a tantrum to let Si Lijue know that he was wrong and then comfort her. But Si Lijue was definitely not the one who took the initiative in this aspect. It could even be said that he didn't care for women who were pretentious because he didn't like pretentious women.
In Si Lijue's opinion, He Nianchu was a little too willful this time.
Since she didn't want to talk to him, he wouldn't pester her. He got up and said, "Then have a good rest. I'll leave first."
When He Nianchu heard this, she felt that something was wrong!
Why didn't he come to comfort her?
Didn't this man blame himself at all?
He Nianchu quickly turned around, but Si Lijue had already left. She was so angry that she threw the pillow to the ground and threw herself onto the bed. She was so angry that she wanted to cry.
She had never been treated so coldly before.
At home, she was a little princess.
Joe Qiao treated her as He Sichu's spiritual support and was very good to He Nianchu. Whenever He Nianchu was sick, she would definitely stay by her side and care about her. But now, she was being bullied by Si Lijue.
He Nianchu couldn't take it lying down.
If it wasn't for that Xia An 'an, Si Lijue definitely wouldn't treat her like this!
Xia An 'an, why don't you go and die?
He Nianchu thought with resentment.
Although Si Lijue was a little cold towards He Nianchu, everyone in the villa had already been bought over by He Nianchu. They were all very attentive to her and cared about her in every possible way. He Nianchu's cold recovered in two days.
However, she had been sulking for the past two days and didn't eat much. She looked a little thin and listless.
Si Lijue still didn't notice the change in He Nianchu. For people who didn't care, no matter how much they changed, it didn't seem to matter.
But as her assistant, Xiang Nian was worried sick. He heard that Family He was very protective. If He Nianchu suffered any grievances here, Family He definitely wouldn't let it go. Although with the current power of the Si family, there was no need to fear Family He, they were still the world's number one company and had the support of the J Country's royal family. Xiang Nian felt that if he could avoid it …
It was better to avoid a direct confrontation with Family He.
He explained the current situation to Si Lijue, but Si Lijue didn't react.
