“If I tell you, they won’t be afraid of me anymore.”


  Xingyu didn’t understand, but Guo Xiang, this discerning guy, quickly figured it out. From his reaction, it was obvious that he had figured out that I had something on them. Although he also felt great seeing them suffer, he was still a little worried, “Xiao Nan, The Zhang family definitely would not forget this easily, you must be careful in the future. . .”


  “I have left Fengchang. In the future, it will be very unlikely for us to have any interaction. So why do I need to be scared of him? He was unlucky that he met me today, it was not like it would happen every day. Although I don’t feel inferior in front of him, it is very similar to step on a pile of dog shit.” I returned the pen and paper to the gardener and laughed, “Lao Guo, would you argue with a pile of dog shit?”


  Xingyu giggled and patted me on my back, “Elder Brother Nan, you are not a dog. . . Not that kind of thing.”


  “Only you think that way. In the eyes of Young Master Zhang, I am just a pile of dog shit after leaving Fengchang, not worthy of his attention.” I comforted them. “Losing one or two million to them is like their expensive shoes got dirty, they will forget it after feeling disgusted for a while. You think they would fight with a pile of shit to vent his anger. It is very hard to get rid of vile characters, they know this much more clearly than you.”


  Guo Xiang was still worried. He looked at me for a long time before sighing, “I hope this is really the case. . .”


  What I said seemed logical and reasonable, but at most it was only enough to fool a naive silly girl like Xingyu. Of course, Guo Xiang knew that I deliberately made it sound like there was nothing to worry about. It was not so much that he did not believe me, it was better to say that he didn’t believe Zhang Mingjie. But what he didn’t know was that Zhang Mingjie and I were already not on good terms because of Liusu.

  If the rumors about Zhang Mingjie being splashed with feces had really been spread in the upper-class social circle, then Zhang Mingjie himself would probably think that that day’s incident was arranged by me. It meant that even if I did not blackmail him today, he still would not give up thinking about getting even with me.

  Of course, I definitely wouldn’t tell him that it was Xiao Yike who instructed someone to throw feces at him, so I had to be the fall guy. Anyway, we had already had conflicts in the past, so why would I care about offending him one more time?

  The young gardener seemed to be a very discerning guy. He seemed to have understood something from the conversation I had with Guo Xiang. “Mr. Chu, thank you. You are really different from them.” He said to me in a low voice.

  “Of course,” I said lightly, “I am the most ordinary guest in this manor.”


  The young man was dazed for a moment. He then smiled and shook his head, “that’s not what I mean. Even if it is outside this manor, you are still not an ordinary man.”


  “If this is a compliment, then I will accept it humbly.” After I smiled shamelessly, I said to the old woman who wanted to bow to us, “Elder, do you trust me or not?”


  The old woman hurriedly said: “Yes, yes.”


  “Then quit the job here,” I said seriously, stroking Ku’er’s head with one hand and patted my pocket with the other, “Those two people definitely would not dare to welsh on this agreement. With this one million, it is enough for you two to live a worry-free life. There is no point in staying in this kind of place.”


  “One. . . million?” Perhaps this number was unrealistic for the old woman, she was confused.

  “Grandma doesn’t know how much one million is,” the young gardener smiled and said to the old woman, “Grandma, one million is more than what you can earn by staying and working here for a hundred years. You don’t need to wash dishes, you don’t need to take out garbage in the future, and you can take Ku’er to see the doctor. . .”


  The old woman’s response was very honest. She didn’t care whether she would continue to wash dishes and take out trash in the future or not, but when she heard that she could take Ku’er to see the doctor, she was very happy, “Really? !”


  The gardener looked at me and nodded: “Yes, this gentleman will not lie.”


  Er… Although I often liked to tell other people that I was not a liar, when it was said by other people, I actually felt embarrassed, “you are flattering me. It’s Ku’er’s medical expenses and mental damage compensation.”


  “Thank you Mr. Chu, thank you Mr. Chu. . .” The old woman thanked me repeatedly. All of sudden she stopped, the joy on her face disappeared, and the helplessness and bitterness came out again. Looking back at the row of bungalows, she said sadly, “But, except here, we have nowhere to go. . .”


  Hearing that, I couldn’t help but be dazed. This was indeed a problem. Buying a house? It was not possible. Every inch of land in Bei Tian City was worth a lot of money. If they used a million to buy a house, they would not have much money left.

  I didn’t even have a house myself. God damn it, I was still too careless. I didn’t even think about this problem. Should I blackmail Zhang Mingjie again? Although I was a shameless person, I still felt embarrassed. . .

  Guo Xiang suddenly said, “There won’t be a problem for them to find a place to live. But to take care of themselves… It might not be convenient. . .”


  Looking at Ku’er who took the initiative to hug my thigh, I smiled even more bitterly. Yes, even if they had a place to stay, they were just an old woman and a child who couldn’t take care of herself. They would inevitably encounter many difficulties. Unlike here, what if the old woman had a headache or fever, who was going to buy the groceries and prepare meals for them? Although they were bullied here, at least they were living with a group of people, there was also a kind young gardener helping them. . .

  Huh? A group of people living together? An idea suddenly flashed through my mind. I suddenly thought of a very suitable place. Thinking of this, I let out a relieved sigh, “It’s okay, as long as you don’t think it’s too noisy, I can help you to find a good place to settle down.”


  “We, we don’t want to trouble mister too much. . .”


  “No trouble, no trouble,” I muttered in a guilty voice, and then said to myself quietly, “you won’t be troubling me. I’ll just have to trouble her. . .”


  The young gardener also persuaded: “Grandma, Ku’er has caused this kind of trouble today, you will inevitably suffer if you stay. So you should go with Mr. Chu.”


  Rather than saying that the old woman felt attached to the place, it was better to say that she lacked the courage to accept the new environment. Looking at the young gardener with dismay, she still hesitated, “But. . .”


  “Grandma, I have been working here for half a year. To be honest, I have had enough. I have decided. I will resign and leave tomorrow,” the young gardener said seriously, “Even if you stay, there will be no one to take care of you and Ku’er in the future. Do you really want to let the people in this manor bully Ku’er just like when I first arrived?”


  It was conceivable that in this uncouth manor, the old woman who was unable to protect Ku’er would not be able to stop people from treating Ku’er harshly. From the young gardener’s words, it seemed that he used to be her only support. So after hearing what he said, she finally changed her mind.

  The reason why Guo Xiang and Xingyu came here was to introduce me to their friends. But after what I did, naturally, they would not be able to continue with their original plan. Plus the unexpected and unpleasant encounter with Zhang Peiwen, they had also lost interest in staying here and wanted to leave.

  “Yeah, grandma, you can pack your stuff and leave with us now.” Guo Xiang said to the old woman.

  Now? Oh my god. What were those two people thinking? Where could I arrange a place for them at this time? Couldn’t it be tomorrow? !

  Although I thought that girl would definitely not reject me… . . I couldn’t get through to her now!

  “Oh? Which company is interested in poaching the employees of our Crouching Dragon Mountain Resort? Hahaha, I am very curious.”


  Just when the old woman nodded and was about to agree, we suddenly heard a burst of laughter. Then a refined middle-aged man walked out from a group of people, heading straight towards me. His eyes, though smiling, were sharp and intimidating.

  The man had a fair-skinned square face, thick eyebrows, large eyes, a straight nose, and a short mustache. He couldn’t be described as handsome, but there was a kind of charm that was unique to a mature man. Especially the man’s voice, not only was it loud, but it also had a heavy texture, which gave people a faint pressure.

  Next to this attractive man was Butler Gao who was slapped by me earlier. At the moment, he was glaring at us with resentful eyes while sneering coldly. Sure enough, he was a dog that would only dare to bite other people when its master was around. . .

  Guo Xiang’s brows were pressed together for less than a moment before smoothing out, but he still couldn’t conceal the fluctuations in his heart. He leaned closer to me, wanting to tell me who the man was. But before he could speak, the young gardener said to me in a low voice, “He is Long Yifan, Long Xiaotian’s eldest son.”


  After knowing the background of the man, I simply uttered a word, “oh” nonchalantly. My calm reaction made Guo Xiang and Xingyu constantly wink at me, as if they wanted to use their eyes to signal me that this Long Yifan was not an ordinary person. In fact, from Zhang Peiwen and Zhang Mingjie’s gloating expressions, I already knew it. However, I didn’t think his extraordinary had anything to do with me.

  I was not a fool who was not afraid of anyone. On the contrary, I was very self-aware. I was just an ant living in the crevice under the ground. But if the Long family really took what I did seriously, then they would not be the proud eagles in the sky. Just like face, upper-class people also valued demeanor, so even if they wanted to take revenge against me, the degree of revenge was limited. At most, they would double the pain that I put on the senior butler. This was something I expected.

  I had never thought of being a hero, nor did I want to right all the wrongs in the world. At most, when I saw something that made me angry, I would simply want to vent my anger. Since I dared to hit the man, of course, I had also psychologically prepared to be hit back one day.

  “Poaching the employees? Hehe,” I smiled faintly, “If the Crouching Dragon Mountain Resort treats their employees well, why do they need to worry that other people would poach their employees?”


  Long Yifan probably didn’t expect that I would be so direct. He was dazed for a moment. After a cold light flashed in his eyes, he laughed, “Haha, Mr. Chu really is as different as the rumors say. My name is Long Yifan, nice to meet you.”


  I was surprised a little. Long Yifan actually heard of me before? !

  “Young Master Chu, long time no see.” A handsome young man appeared behind Long Yifan. He enthusiastically greeted me and shook hands with me. Seeing him, the doubt in my mind immediately disappeared.

  When Liu Xingyu saw this person, her face suddenly turned pale. She subconsciously hid behind Guo Xiang. But before she could hide behind Guo Xiang, the man who was shaking hands with me said coldly, “Sister, why are you here too?”


  Xingyu was like a child who had made a mistake. She responded in a low voice while her shoulders were trembling, “Elder Brother. . .”


  This person was Liu Xiaosheng.
