Chapter 40: Accepting Another Maid
Who is your girl?
Gu Yanran blushed. This Li Yun really could say anything. It was as if he was suggesting that she and he had some sort of relationship.
However, it seemed like she didn't want to get angry, nor did she want to refute it.
Gu Yanran shook her head. She didn't know what was happening to her. It seemed like she had no resistance, and she even felt a little touched.
Especially those words, "Whoever dares to offend her, will be my enemy, Li Yun," which touched Gu Yanran's heart.
Did she really have such a high place in Li Yun's heart?
But then, why did he always make her do maid-like things, as if he truly treated her like a servant?
Could it be that he was trying to get her attention on purpose?
One must say, Gu Yanran had a very rich imagination. At that moment, she didn't even know where her thoughts were.
The attention returned to the scene. Just when everyone thought that Li Yun wouldn't let this go, he suddenly changed his tone and continued: "But, I see that this girl is loyal and protected, quite cute and pitiful. If she stays in the Chen family, she'll probably be killed. Better she comes to be my maid, and we'll resolve this issue."
Make Xue'er your maid?
That's a good idea.
"Well, since Director Li has chosen her, it's her luck. I, Chen Tianfang, of course, agree."
Chen Tianfang listened and immediately agreed.
In this way, not only could he ease the conflict with Li Yun, but he could also use Xue'er as a means to strengthen cooperation with him.
"You can't, who are you to decide for Xue'er? Xue'er doesn't need to be anyone's maid."
"Xue'er, don't be afraid. From now on, I'll protect you and won't let you suffer any injustice."
Chen Haotian grabbed Xue'er's hand and prepared to take her away.
Xue'er was the only one in the Chen family who had been good to him.
When he was bullied, Xue'er defended him, preferring to suffer harm herself rather than let it happen to him. When he endured the contemptuous gazes from the Chen family, Xue'er was always by his side, silently comforting and encouraging him.
Before a girl like that, Chen Haotian swore to protect her well and not let her suffer any harm.
"Want to leave?"
"Do you think my Chen family is a place you can come and go as you please?"
"You, ungrateful one, can leave, but Xue'er must be Director Li's maid to atone for her sins."
Chen Tianfang made a gesture, and the Chen family guards once again surrounded Chen Haotian.
Chen Haotian clenched his fists. A few simple Chen family guards didn't concern him at all.
The fight seemed imminent.
"Wait, Director Chen, may I say something?"
"Oh, I don't know what advice Director Li has. This is a family matter, and I ask you not to…"
Chen Tianfang didn't finish speaking when Li Yun interrupted: "Director Chen, after all, this young man is also your son. Even if a bone is broken, the tendons remain connected. The blood relationship between you is something that no one can change."
"The reason I got angry was because Yanran is mine. She has been bullied, and I had to do justice for her. But I don't want you, father and son, to face each other. I won't play the villain in this."
Li Yun suddenly thought that if Chen Haotian left the Chen family, it would not only be bad for him but also problematic.
If Chen Haotian left the Chen family or even Jinling, finding him would be more complicated for Li Yun.
The Chen family had his beloved father, Chen Tianfang, and his good second brother, Chen Feiyu.
How could Li Yun bear to destroy such a harmonious family? Naturally, he wanted the father and son to reconcile.
He wanted Chen Haotian to continue suffering in the Chen family, being despised, with brothers wanting to kill him, and the family treating him like he didn't exist.
Even the little maid Xue'er, who had always helped him, was taken away by him.
Li Yun thought that this was the standard life of a protagonist.
Thinking about this, Li Yun looked at Xue'er behind Chen Haotian and said: "Girl, if you leave with him, you'll leave Director Chen in a bad situation. Do you really want father and son to sever their relationship completely?"
"If you agree to be my maid, I can resolve this crisis for your young master, let him stay in the Chen family, and father and son will reconcile."
"I…"
Upon hearing this, Xue'er was moved.
She didn't mind being Li Yun's maid. After all, she was already a maid there. Wherever she went, it would be the same.
But if she left the Chen family, she wouldn't be leaving her young master behind.
"I… accept."
Thinking that her departure might reconcile her young master with the master and prevent him from leaving the Chen family, Xue'er accepted without thinking too much.
"There's no need. I, Chen Haotian, will protect my own. I don't need your false kindness. I don't want this Chen family. I don't care about the father-son relationship."
He didn't know why, but from the moment he saw Li Yun, Chen Haotian felt a deep hatred toward him. Even though his words seemed to be in his favor, Chen Haotian felt that Li Yun had ill intentions.
He rejected Li Yun's proposal from the bottom of his heart.
He considered Xue'er his family, like a sister. Now, for her to become the maid of someone as unpleasant as Li Yun, he would never accept it.
As for the Chen family and Chen Tianfang, if they didn't consider him their son, he wouldn't consider them his father. It was as if he didn't have a father.
"Ingrate, I originally thought of forgiving you because of Director Li, but you're so ungrateful. Today, I will beat you to death."
Upon hearing that Chen Haotian didn't consider him his father, Chen Tianfang became enraged. It seemed he had been too indulgent with this ungrateful one, making him so bold that he didn't even respect his father.
"Miss Xue'er, decide quickly. Do you want to see how your young master is beaten to death by his own father?"
Li Yun ignored Chen Tianfang's fury and continued persuading Xue'er.
This maid, he had to have her.
He imagined going out with a maid on each arm—such a life would be perfect.
"I… accept."
"Young master Haotian, Xue'er will serve you in another life."
Xue'er kneeled, gave three bows to Chen Haotian, and then stood behind Li Yun.
"Xue'er, no!"
"Li Yun, you're going to die!"
Chen Haotian became furious and launched a punch at Li Yun.
