âAll right, Xiaoyu. Iâll take you upstairs to rest first. Donât bother with unimportant people.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Li Meien and Li Hou escorted Wen Shiyu upstairs. Wan Dou stared coldly at the three of them while starting to mull.
In the evening, Wen Zhehan came back from work and went upstairs to visit Wen Shiyu. When Wen Shiyu saw her father, she couldnât help but cry again.
Although Wen Zhehan had always treated his wife with respect, he really doted on his daughter.
Other than telling her to rest well, she also arranged for other teachers to take over her classes at the music school.
At night, only Wan Dou and Wen Zhehan had dinner together. After dinner, Wan Dou greeted him and went upstairs to her room.
As she passed by Wen Shiyuâs room, she heard the conversation between Wen Shiyu and her mother coming through the door.
âMom, what should I do? I wonât be able to attend the birthday party tomorrow. The dress I prepared is all for nothing. Just thinking about it makes me angry!â
In order to attend the party, Wen Shiyu had specially ordered a high-end dress with her mother. It was expensive. She wanted to use her motherâs birthday to get to know some of the upper-class socialites.
But now, everything was ruined!
âMaybe next time! You havenât been back for long anyway, so thereâs no hurry. If thereâs a chance in the future, Iâll introduce you.â
Li Meien also wanted to introduce her daughter, who had just returned from studying abroad, to her friends in the circle through this banquet. But now, she could only scheme in the future.
âBut Iâm not willing to give up my chance to that bitchâ¦â
Wen Shiyu gritted her teeth.
âShh! Donât let your father hear you!â Li Meien said in a low voice. âDonât worry, Iâll make her regret returning to the Wen family.â
Li Meien whispered a few more words into Wen Shiyuâs ear, and the mother and daughter smiled smugly.
Wan Dou scoffed inwardly. She had long seen through it. Li Meien had said that he would introduce her to the upper class, but it turned out that he was just trying to take advantage of her.
It was too early for them to be happy. She was not easy to bully!
Just as Wandou was about to leave, she suddenly heard a gloomy voice behind her. âMiss Wan Dou, what are you looking at?â
Wan Dou was shocked. She turned around and saw that it was the butler, Li Hou. Li Houâs face was half-hidden in the dark light, and was a little frightening.
Wan Dou turned around and smiled. âButler Li, this is my house. I donât think itâs illegal.â
âItâs not illegal,â Li Hou said.
âSince itâs not illegal, why are you asking so much?â
Wan Douâs question made Li Hou speechless. âAlso, Butler Li has been a butler for so many years. Donât you know the rules of the Wen family?â
Li Hou stared at Wan Dou and asked while suppressing his anger, âWhat rules are you talking about?â
Pa!
âDonât you know who I am?â Wan Dou scolded as she slapped Li Hou. âYouâre calling me Miss Wan Dou, but itâs clear that you donât respect me as the eldest daughter of the Wen family. You must still think that Iâm a girl from the slums!â
Li Houâs eyes darkened after being slapped. At that moment, Li Meiâen came out of the house and saw two people standing at the door. He asked, âWhatâs going on? Why are you making so much noise here? Donât you know that Xiaoyu needs to rest?â
âMadamâ¦â
Li Hou was about to complain, but Wandou beat him to it. âAuntie Li, itâs like this. Iâve already acknowledged my roots and ancestors. Logically speaking, Butler Li should call me Young Mistress Wan Dou, but he kept calling me Miss Wandou. So I hit him and used it as a lesson. Am I being too much?â
