“Miss Yuan, hello.” The supervisor recognized Ye Xiaoxi because the Yuan family had informed them in advance, so his attitude toward her was very respectful.
Ye Xiaoxi looked at the young man and said, “He should have just brought his sister along and not caused any trouble, right?”
The supervisor replied, “Yes.”
“In that case, can you give him another chance, considering my request?”
The supervisor looked troubled and said, “Miss Yuan, theoretically, I should listen to you since you’ve spoken. However, this young man has violated our rules multiple times. If we let him stay and he causes trouble again, I might lose my job. I have a family to support, and 1 can’t bear that responsibility. Please understand.”
They were all working-class people, and the supervisor didn’t want to make things difficult for them.
But he wanted to keep them, and the boss didn’t allow it. After all, he couldn’t jeopardize his family’s livelihood for the sake of this young man.
Ye Xiaoxi wasn’t an unreasonable person, so she said, “Alright, I won’t force you.”
“Thank you, Miss Yuan!” The supervisor was extremely grateful.
The light in the young man’s eyes faded instantly.
The little girl timidly said, “Brother, are you going to lose your job? Will we have to sleep on the streets?”
The young man didn’t say anything.
Ye Xiaoxi crouched down and looked at the little girl. She said, “Little sister, 1 can offer your brother a job and provide a place to stay for both of you. Would you like to leave with me?”
The little girl looked at her brother. The young man held his sister protectively and asked, “You’re being so kind to us, but do you have an ulterior motive?”
The supervisor gave the young man a pat on the back and scolded, “Don’t you see who Miss Yuan is? Do you think she has ulterior motives? Do you even have the right to speculate about Miss Yuan?”
Ye Xiaoxi gave a cold look.
The supervisor immediately backed down and didn’t dare to act out.
“I didn’t have a good life in the past, so I can’t stand to see others suffer. Besides, taking care of you and your sister won’t cost me much money. How about working as my personal bodyguard to ensure my safety?” Ye Xiaoxi said casually.
She didn’t lack protection from others, but the young man in front of her was clearly not the type to take advantage of others. So she intentionally offered him the job of a bodyguard.
Seeing that the young man was hesitating, the supervisor whispered, “Miss Yuan is from the prestigious Yuan family in A-City. If you follow her, you and your sister will have no worries about food and clothing. You’re still hesitating, you brat?”
The young man raised his eyes, which were bright, and said, “Okay, 1 agree.” “What’s your name?”
“Li Yu.”
“That’s a nice name.” The name and the person both sounded pleasing to Ye Xiaoxi. She secretly praised, “You can go directly to the Yuan family’s old mansion and report to the housekeeper. Tell him that I sent you. I’ll call him to arrange everything for you.”
“Thank you.”
Li Yu bowed slightly to show his gratitude and then left with his sister.
Then, he walked away.
The supervisor was a bit annoyed by Li Yu’s aloofness and said, “Miss Yuan, look at your kind gesture, and he still behaves like this. You really shouldn’t have helped him.”
“It’s just a small favor, there’s no need to make a big deal out of it. Besides, I hired him as a bodyguard, and he’s putting in the effort. It’s not really a favor.” Ye Xiaoxi didn’t expect others to be overly grateful to her.
She had learned this from Yining.
As long as you can genuinely help someone, there’s no need to fuss over it.
The supervisor, upon hearing her words, silently gave her a thumbs-up.
Ye Xiaoxi didn’t linger any longer and turned to go to her private room.
Jiang Yining originally thought that Xiao Yeyu might make some other moves, but to her surprise, for several days in a row, Xiao Yeyu remained quiet.
She didn’t come to disturb her, nor did she go to find Ye Xiaoxi.
So Jiang Yining didn’t pay any more attention to her.
Because on the Lu family’s side, the wedding preparations were almost complete.
Following the old man’s instructions, Lu Zhi had delegated his current work to others.
After the wedding, he and Jiang Yining were planning to go on a honeymoon trip.
Jiang Yining didn’t see the need for it.
Having a wedding was already enough, so why waste so much time?
But the old man insisted…
She and Lu Zhi had no choice but to obey the old man’s wishes.
Unknowingly…
It was two days before the wedding.
Due to local customs in A-City, it was considered unlucky for the bride and groom to meet on the day before the wedding. Therefore, Lu Zhi was summoned back to the Lu family mansion by Old Master Lu.
Jiang Yining, on the other hand, continued to stay in the villa.
Jiang Rou and Gu Zhanqing, as members of the bride’s family, also moved in.
Jiang Yining didn’t want to see them, so she stayed in her room and didn’t go
out..
