BXBX NOVEL Chapter 114 - Done Cultivating?
Before anyone could open their mouth, he turned around and walked upstairs.
Steward Gu sighed, "You all can leave, except for you and you," He pointed his finger towards the cook and an old lady who had stayed silent all this time.
After spending years beside the man, how could he not understand what his current mood was?
From the moment these people talked about Miss Yu, his Master\'s expression worsened as if it was him who was being humiliated. So, Steward Gu was not that shocked with these outcomes.
\'\'No, please let us apologize to Master.\'\'
\'\'Yes, he will understand. We\'ve worked for him for years…\'\'
\'Thump\'
Realizing what was going on, Lisa snapped out of her trance and knelt in front of Steward Gu.
Tears rolled down her cheeks as she begged, \'\'Please, don\'t fire me, Steward Gu. Convince Master, please…I can\'t afford to lose this job..\'\'
\'\'Didn\'t I tell you that that don\'t offend Master? I told you that he won\'t show pity to anyone. But you went along and stole Miss Yu\'s DNA sample…"
"But she really is cheating on him. She even hid her child in the mansion…"
"Do you think Master is a fool who can\'t see anything?" Steward Gu shook his head.
All the people in the room were taken aback. Does it mean he knew she had a child yet he was ready to accept her?
Steward Gu scoffed, \'\'Even though he knew she was hiding something, he never stepped inside her room neither did he overstep his boundaries. Do you think you will be forgiven for doing that? For trying to humiliate and mock her? Get out before your punishments become severe.\'\'
Lisa bit her bottom lips until they bled as she stood up from her place and went to the servant quarters to pack along with the rest. This was not the outcome she expected, she clenched her fists.
All of them knew it will be useless for them to stay here and beg. It might even infuriate their Master further.
After making a few calls, Steward Gu turned around and walked upstairs before knocking on the door of the Master Bedroom.
\'\'Come in,\'\' came the hoarse voice of the man.
Steward Gu stepped inside the room only to find the man changing his shirt which was drenched by his wife.
No matter what, he felt like applauding Miss Yu\'s courage for doing something like this.
\'\'Is it done?" Jun Zixuan asked, picking up a white shirt from the bed.
Steward Gu replied, "I\'ve made all the necessary arrangements in the university. Miss Yu will be getting the call soon.\'\'
The man nodded.
"Master, you haven\'t eaten anything since last night. Shall I get the food here for you?" He asked, noticing the man\'s tired face.
He was already not in a good mood since they came back from the hospital yesterday and to top it off, the blunder happened today.
Even Steward Gu could not understand how Yu Mei could bring a child into the Ren Mansion without anyone noticing.
From her reactions, it did not seem like she did not know the child and she also did not bother to explain….Wait she had tried to but his Master did not listen to her.
Sigh…So complicated.
"I\'m not hungry," Jun Zixuan said, folding the sleeves of his white shirt.
How could you not be hungry after not eating for so long? "Master, are you going somewhere?"
"To the office.."
Steward Gu was speechless, "But you\'ve already finished one month\'s work in advance so that you can drop Miss Yu at her university…\'\' He trailed off realizing where this was going.
Jun Zixuan paused. His gaze flashed slightly. Closing his eyes for a moment, he raked his fingers through his hair, \'\'Prepone all the business trips of this year. Bring all of them forward. We are leaving today,\'\' He said before stepping inside the walk-in closet leaving the poor Steward in a trance.
"_" Master~ I\'m still a human, alright?
…
Yu Mei sat on the bench in a children\'s park as she felt the evening breeze hit her face. Since it was getting dark, all the children playing in the park left one by one with their parents.
She removed the bag from her shoulder and made Mia properly sit on her lap as she wrapped an arm around her so that the sleeping girl would not fall off.
She checked her phone to see if she has received any calls but to her dismay, her phone was switched off reminding her that she hadn\'t gotten it charged today. Moreover, she also forgot to bring the charger with her.
Letting out a soft sigh, she leaned back on the wooden bench and glanced at the darkening sky. The events of the day started flashing in her mind as her beautiful starry eyes sparkled with tears. She blinked them away and took a few deep breaths.
\'\'Uhhh…"
Yu Mei sat up in a flash sensing the movements of the girl sitting on her lap. "Mia, are you awake?" She turned the girl slightly so that Mia\'s face was visible to her.
The small crimson lotus mark on her forehead shone as the girl opened her hazel eyes. She looked around the place filled with different kinds of trees, "What are we doing here in a forest?" was the first thing that came out of her mouth.
Yu Mei chuckled, "Park...This is called a park," she said, placing the girl beside her on the bench.
Mia\'s short legs dangled on the wooden bench but they didn\'t reach the ground. She pursed her lips, a bit ashamed of her current size.
"Are you done cultivating?" Yu Mei asked.
"I can revert to my fox form for the time being but I haven\'t gotten all my powers," replied Mia.
Yu Mei nodded as she continued gazing at the sky.
Realizing how awfully quiet she was, Mia narrowed her eyes, "Did something happen? Why are we here?"
"Nothing much. We\'ll leave after some time," Yu Mei said, not looking at her.
Mia blinked. Is this woman taking me as a fool?
Closing her eyes, she formed a connection with Yu Mei and looked through her memories, looking for the cause behind her sullen mood.
