Xiao Hong discovered Ye Wan touching Gu Yunting's belongings again and was furious, yelling that she was shameless, cheap, and dirty... she hurled every insult she could think of, her demeanor disdainful and arrogant, as if she were the high-and-mighty mistress of the house.
"Why don't you look in the mirror and see what a pathetic state you're in? Anything the young master touches has to be burned! You're so filthy! You're not even worth the price of this shirt, even if you were sold!" Xiao Hong clutched Gu Yunting's shirt with distress.
Ye Wan usually avoided conflict with them, but today she wouldn't tolerate it. Her gaze swept over the others indifferently, "Your young master touches me every day, do you want to burn him too?"
It was laughable; their personal grievances with Gu Yunting seemed to invite everyone to meddle. Their condescending airs made them seem like they were on the same level as Gu Yunting, like masters, with an inexplicable sense of superiority!
"You... you're truly shameless! Everyone knows the young master sleeps with you to torment you! You're not fit to be compared to someone like the young master! Only a wealthy heiress like Miss Lin is worthy of the young master! Stop dreaming!" Xiao Hong maintained her haughty expression, as if she were Lin Feiwei herself.
"Who's dreaming, who knows! If you have the guts, kick me out of the Gu family. If not, don't just bark around here like a mad dog!" Ye Wan finished speaking, then stood up and slammed the utility room door shut.
Xiao Hong was infuriated, her curses never ceasing.
Ye Wan sat on the wooden plank bed with a headache. She definitely wouldn't get yesterday's commission. Several days had already passed this month, and she hadn't earned a single cent. She was starting to feel anxious.
Her phone rang; it was Jiang Mi calling. She picked it up, "Ye Wan, what happened yesterday? The supervisor called and scolded me, saying they lost several bottles of wine, and you disappeared."
"I'm truly sorry, it was my fault. Someone deliberately bullied me yesterday, and I..." Ye Wan felt extremely embarrassed, knowing this would make things difficult for Jiang Mi.
"Forget it, I'll handle yesterday's mess. If you need money, just tell me, I can lend you some first. Don't rush about earning money," Jiang Mi comforted her.
"Thank you, I really need the money... If you have any suitable jobs with good pay, that would be best," Ye Wan didn't want to borrow money from others. Everyone worked hard for their earnings. If it wasn't absolutely necessary, she preferred to earn money through her own labor.
"I'll ask around for you and call you later," Jiang Mi said, then hung up.
...
The Lin Residence.
In a luxurious room, Lin Feiwei pushed the door open and rushed to her mother, hugging her tearfully, "Mom."
"What's wrong? Who bullied you?" Mrs. Lin was putting on earrings and, seeing her daughter's distressed look, held her hand with concern and made her sit in front of her.
"It's... oh dear..." Lin Feiwei didn't know how to start.
"What exactly happened? Is there anything you can't tell your mother?" Mrs. Lin looked at her daughter with great care.
"I discovered that A'ting has an unusual relationship with a maid! He... they..." Lin Feiwei gnashed her teeth in anger. That damned Ye Wan must have slept with Gu Yunting!
The thought that she herself hadn't even slept with Gu Yunting, yet a lowly maid had gotten there first, made her feel exceptionally disgusted and annoyed.
"A maid? Are you mistaken?" Mrs. Lin was somewhat disbelieving. Was Gu Yunting really so tasteless as to get involved with a maid?
