C13 You will Definitely Fall in Love with Me
After Yee Xiaonian finished all her work, she changed into her maid uniform and put on her own clothes. She stuffed the untimely lunchbox into her bag and prepared to leave.
The butler stopped her before she went out.
Yee Xiaonian was puzzled and asked, "Is there anything else?"
The butler said, "Don't come tomorrow."
Yee Xiaonian could not believe her ears and her face changed drastically. The bag fell from her shoulder.
She did not bother to pick up the bag. She pulled the housekeeper and asked, "Why? Could it be because of today's matter? I know I was wrong, I won't do it again in the future, please believe me "
The more she spoke, the more excited she became. She almost knelt down and begged.
The butler freed her hand and shook his head, saying, "You misunderstood. What I meant was that you went back a little late today and came back to work tomorrow morning. You definitely wouldn't be used to it, so you don't need to come during the day. You can change it to night shift."
So it was like this... Yee Xiaonian let out a sigh of relief and thanked him with teary eyes, "Mr. Butler, you are really a good person."
The butler shook his head and said, "This is not what I meant. It was Mr. Gu's arrangement."
Yee Xiaonian was stunned.
"But..." The butler thought for a while and said, "Your behavior today is indeed not very good. Furthermore, the engagement between Mr. Gu and Miss Zhou was already set. If Miss Zhou comes again in the future, I hope you will know your limits. Do not cross the line again. "
Yee Xiaonian nodded her head vigorously, "Don't worry, I will definitely change it."
The butler nodded and said," Go back and rest early. "
In just a few minutes, Yee Xiaonian experienced great sorrow and joy and simply did not know what to say. She picked up the bag on the ground and stepped on the ankle white snow as she walked out of the courtyard door.
Not far away, she seemed to have sensed something and turned around to look at the villa. In front of the French window on the second floor, there was a figure standing there.
Could it be Gu Yingjue? If it was, why was he standing there?
Yee Xiaonian thought of an impossible possibility and thought to herself, "Could it be that he is looking at me..."
After thinking about it, she could not help but laugh. She retracted her gaze and walked further in the snow.
In order to remind herself at all times that she could only get that one million yuan if she chased after Gu Yingjue, Yee Xiaonian set Gu Yingjue's photo on her phone and computer desk.
Gu Yingjue's facial features were perfect, but his lips were slightly thin, which made him look especially cold. It was not easy to get close to cold people, and it was also difficult to have feelings for them. Yee Xiaonian hoped to find a smiling photo, so that she could watch it every day. At least she could comfort herself in her heart. This person only looked like an iceberg. In fact, he was still flesh and blood.
However, she had failed. Gu Yingjue was not interested in managing his personal image. Other than financial magazines, he rarely received interviews. There were only a few photos that were circulated online, although they were very handsome. It had nothing to do with smiles.
Just like that, under Gu Yingjue's cold gaze on the table, Yee Xiaonian opened the browser and inserted Zhou Xiaomei's name into it. She pressed the return button and countless links and pictures popped up.
She browsed a few pages and summarized Zhou Xiaomei's characteristics: white, rich, and beautiful.
Yes, it was that simple.
Because no matter from which angle one looked at it, Zhou Xiaomei matched these three words quite well. It was probably because the family was wealthy and protected her well. It made her prosper even though she had just started her career not long ago. She took on the covers of many big magazines, but there were no rumors at all. The publicity department also unanimously praised her for being approachable and flawless.
She seemed to be a flawless person, and he wanted to defeat her and steal her fiancé.
Yee Xiaonian glanced at her narrow and worn-out room and thought that it would be better to just knock her head off and die.
The sound of the SMS notification rang and Yee Xiaonian opened it to check. It was Zhang Xiaohua who sent it to remind her to cool down and remember to wear more clothes.
Yee Xiaonian's nose turned sour and her fingers quickly danced on the keyboard. She replied to the SMS and then turned off the screen. She hugged the pillow and silently cried for a while.
In Zhou Xiaomei, Ms Fann, and even Gu Yingjue's eyes, she was probably a poor girl who did not know the immensity of heaven and earth. She was delusional and shameless.
It did not feel good to be despised by others, but she could only suffer for Zhang Xiaohua and her own future.
Wiping away her tears, Yee Xiaonian began to plan for tomorrow's plan.
Obviously, it was not realistic to use her cooking skills to fight for Gu Yingjue. She prepared to find external help.
A year ago, Zhang Xiaohua had a very rich boyfriend. Although they had only been together for a short month, the man had taken them to the most high-end restaurant in H City for a meal. One of the dishes was especially delicious, and Yee Xiaonian could not finish reciting it.
She decided to go to that restaurant tomorrow to pack a portion of the soup and bring it to the Gu family. Then, she would wait for Gu Yingjue at the door. She would give the soup to him when he got off the car. This way, it would not violate the rules and there would not be any situation where he would be tasted wrongly again.
Yee Xiaonian was very confident in this plan. The only difficulty was that the restaurant was very expensive. For Yee Xiaonian, who wished she could spend one yuan for two yuan, it was no different from cutting meat and bleeding when she paid for the dishes.
"Gu Yingjue, wait and see. I will definitely make you fall in love with me!"
Before going out the next day, Yee Xiaonian encouraged herself in her heart.
After spending several hours and finally successfully bringing the soup back to the Gu family, it was only 4 PM in the afternoon.
Yee Xiaonian placed the lunchbox outside the door and went into the Gu family to inquire about the situation. She found out that Gu Yingjue went to work normally today and would not go home early, so she quietly exited the house.
The Gu family's rule was that the night shift maids worked from 10 PM to 6 AM. Under normal circumstances, Gu Yingjue came back around 10 at night when he was working normally. This also meant that Yee Xiaonian had to hold the lunchbox and wait in the snow for six hours.
She originally wanted to come back home, but she was afraid that Gu Yingjue would come back early. Moreover, there was no bus in the villa area, so it would take a lot of time to walk in and out. So she decided to wait here and sit by the flower bed.
After being taught a lesson from being shot last time, Yee Xiaonian did not dare to hide too well. She chose a position close to the courtyard door and looked like a pitiful beggar from afar.
After an unknown amount of time, the sky slowly darkened. Yee Xiaonian took out her phone to look at the time and found that it was only seven o'clock. She got up to stretch her legs and sat down to continue waiting. Perhaps it was because she was too bored, but unknowingly, she actually fell asleep.
Yee Xiaonian was woken up by someone. She opened her eyes in a daze and found that the person standing in front of her was actually the butler.
The butler looked at her unhappily and scolded, "It's already time for work, what are you still sitting outside for? Go in and work!"
"What?! It's already ten o'clock!" Yee Xiaonian quickly stood up and suddenly remembered something. Before the housekeeper noticed, she secretly hid the lunchbox in her bag.
After she hid it, Yee Xiaonian looked at the courtyard and asked, "Is Mr. Gu back?"
"Mr. Gu has something to do today. He will be back a little later." The butler narrowed his eyes at her and asked, "Could it be that you are sitting here waiting for him?"
Yee Xiaonian was shocked in her heart and waved her hands in fear, "Of course not. I am just casually asking, haha..."
The butler did not say anything else and turned around to walk into the courtyard. Yee Xiaonian thought about it for a while. She felt that it was better not to take the risk, so she hid the lunchbox containing the soup in a corner of the flower bed. After ensuring that no one would notice, she hurriedly went in. He changed into his maid uniform and started working.
Actually, working in the Gu family was a very easy task because there was no mistress at home. Gu Yingjue was often absent, and the only person in charge was the butler. The butler's face was strict and his heart was soft. Even if he made a small mistake, it would be fine if he scolded him, but he would never fuss over it. Besides cleaning up the villa, there was nothing else to be busy with.
Yee Xiaonian's job today was to clean Gu Yingjue's room. She rolled up her sleeves and indirectly brought warm water from the cleaning, preparing to wipe the tables and cupboards in the room.
Although Gu Yingjue was rich, he was only interested in work and did not care much about enjoying life. The decoration of the room was simple and elegant.
The only thing he needed to pay special attention to was that he had a slight mysophobia of cleanliness. He could not see any dirty things and could not tolerate the messy room.
Yee Xiaonian planned to start with the major project, Gu Yingjue's bookshelf.
In fact, Gu Yingjue had his own study. There were countless books in it. This bookshelf was specially placed in the room for him to read before he slept, so the books in it were more complicated.
It was not difficult to clean the bookshelf. It was rare that after cleaning, he had to put the book back in its original form. The sequence could not be messed up, or else it would affect Gu Yingjue's reading and be punished.
Yee Xiaonian took a deep breath and started this big project.
Before getting close to Gu Yingjue, she had already learned about it from the information. Gu Yingjue was a PhD holder in a top university in the world. For Yee Xiaonian, who graduated from high school and relied on herself, Gu Yingjue was a PhD holder. She only felt that he was very powerful, but to what extent was he powerful? She did not have a clear idea.
Until she saw these books.
Levitans, The Morals and Fundamental Principles of Faith and capitalism, General Program of National History...
There were also some foreign languages that Yee Xiaonian did not know at all. Yee Xiaonian had always thought that although she did not study in university, now, she finally understood. In front of Gu Yingjue, she was an illiterate.
If she was illiterate, then so be it. Anyway, she did not intend to spend the rest of her life with him. Yee Xiaonian comforted herself as she sped up the cleaning.
After cleaning the bedroom, the work in the villa was done. The butler asked her to stand in front of Gu Yingjue's door and wait, so that he could summon her when he returned home.
There was still a thick layer of snow outside. The heating in the villa was turned on and it was late at night. Yee Xiaonian did not stand for long and started to doze off.
She leaned against the door and nodded her head like a chicken pecking at rice. Finally, she squatted down and hid in the corner of the wall to sleep.
As she was having a beautiful dream, Yee Xiaonian felt that someone was pushing her head. She impatiently used her hands to block it and a low and elegant voice sounded by her ear.
"Quickly get up."
This voice was very familiar. Wasn't it the Gu Yingjue that she had waited all night? Yee Xiaonian instantly woke up. She suddenly opened her eyes and saw Gu Yingjue standing in front of her. He looked at her expressionlessly. Snow was still falling on his broad shoulders. It seemed like he had just entered.
