Chapter 208: She’s Not Ye Qingran (1)
Mu Qingxue warmly welcomed Housekeeper Wen, saying that her family had gone out and it was boring to stay at home alone. Now, there was someone she could chat with to pass the time.
As she spoke, she started chatting with Butler Wen.
She said that she had just finished her college entrance exam today and wanted to go out to celebrate. However, her family had something to do and left her alone at home.
At the end of her sentence, she said that she was lucky that Housekeeper Wen was here and thanked her for accompanying her.
Butler Wen looked around the house and thought that the family that Mu Qingxue was referring to was her parents.
She felt that Mu Qingxue’s family background was not bad and she was warm and sensible. Hence, she had a good impression of Mu Qingxue.
However, she was not interested in Mu Qingxue’s matters. Before Mu Qingxue continued talking, she asked tentatively, “You and Ye Qingran are classmates and neighbors. You should be close, right?”
Mu Qingxue smiled awkwardly, “We… Although we are classmates and neighbors, we don’t really get along.”
Housekeeper Wen replied with an ‘oh’ and looked curious.
Mu Qingxue smiled again and said, “However, Mr. Chu Yan and I are quite familiar with each other. He must be very busy with work, I feel that he often comes back late. Does his boss often pressure him?”
Her tone could not contain her worry.
However, she also revealed that she did not know Chu Yan’s identity. She only thought that Chu Yan was an ordinary office worker.
Housekeeper Wen laughed in her heart. Boss?
Who was qualified to be their young master’s boss? However, she did not know young master’s identity, yet she was still so good to him. It seemed that this girl’s character was not bad.
“Then do you know when Ye Qingran started living across the street?”
“When? I think it was a year ago when I met her. She said that she had bought the villa across the street and even said that she was keeping a gigolo. However, she was the fourth young master of the Ye family after all… wrong, it’s the fourth young miss. Brother Chu was quite stressed when he was with her.”
Upon hearing this, Housekeeper Wen scolded Ye Qingran again in her heart.
She had never seen such a shameless woman. It was one thing for her to approach the young master while dressed as a man, but she even said that she was the one who had bought the young master’s house.
Damn it, it was really too damning!
After she returned, she must tell the Old Master Yan that he must not agree to let the young master be with such a woman.
Housekeeper Wen looked down on Ye Qingran in her heart, and she could not help but say in a contemptuous tone, “Pretty boy, what is she to the Ye Family? She really knows how to flatter herself. How can a woman like her be worthy of us…”
She realized that she was going to expose Chu Yan’s identity.
She smiled and changed her words, “She is not worthy of Chu Yan at all.”
Mu Qingxue looked at her in confusion, as if she did not understand what she meant.
Housekeeper Wen took a sip of tea from her cup and changed the topic without anyone noticing. “Thank you, Miss Mu. I will definitely tell Grandfather Yan about your warm hospitality today.”
Mu Qingxue asked casually, “Are you Brother Chu Yan’s grandmother?”
Housekeeper Wen was stunned but did not deny it.
Mu Qingxue immediately covered her mouth in surprise and said, “Oh my god, you’re so young, I couldn’t tell at all. I always thought that you were Brother Chu Yan’s elder sister or aunt.”
This sentence made Housekeeper Wen overjoyed.
She waved her hand and sighed with a smile, “I’m getting old. Young people like you should stop teasing this old lady.”
Mu Qingxue said sincerely, “You don’t look old. I reckon you’re only in your thirties. You’re very young.”
Mu Qingxue flattered Housekeeper Wen for a while on this topic.
Housekeeper Wen was delighted by her words. Her impression of Mu Qingxue rose rapidly and reached its peak in an instant.
Of course, she liked Mu Qingxue very much.
But she hated Ye Qingran very much.
Comparing them in her heart, she felt that Ye Qingran could not even be compared to one of Mu Qingxue’s fingers.
After the two of them chatted for a while, the topic naturally shifted to Ye Qingran.
After all, Housekeeper Wen came in because she wanted to ask about Ye Qingran.
Mu Qingxue changed her usual behavior. Not only did she not scold Ye Qingran, but she also didn’t take the opportunity to insult Ye Qingran. Instead, she kept saying good things about Ye Qingran.
For example.
Housekeeper Wen asked her, “I heard that this Ye Qingran is ignorant and doesn’t know anything. She’s a brainless person.”
She replied, “Who said that? Ye Qingran is very smart. Her grades are very good.”
Housekeeper Wen said, “She disguised herself as a man and hangs out with different men every day. Her private life must be very messy.”
She replied, “I don’t think so. She’s just good friends and good brothers with those people.”
…
Although it was a good answer, Housekeeper Wen had different thoughts when she heard it.
She was smart and scheming.
What good friends, good brothers? How could men and women have a pure friendship? They must be fooling around.
Young master must have been deceived by her.
This Mu Qingxue looked innocent. That was why she probably didn’t understand the twists and turns in the process.
It seemed that she would not be able to get anything else out of her today.
Just as Housekeeper Wen was about to get up and leave, Mu Qingxue suddenly said, “However, Ye Qingran has indeed changed a lot. It seems like last year. She suddenly changed into a different person. I thought…”
She seemed to have said it without thinking.
As she spoke, she realized that she might have said something that she should not have, so she quickly shut up.
She smiled at Housekeeper Wen and passed the fruit plate. “You’re welcome. I bought this when I came back. It’s very sweet, eat more.”
Housekeeper Wen was not in the mood to eat fruit.
Mu Qingxue’s words were obviously implying something. She suddenly had a bad feeling and asked with a frown, “Thought what?”
Mu Qingxue smiled and shook her head. “Nothing. I was just spouting nonsense.”
This made Housekeeper Wen even more curious. “Miss Mu, if you know something, just say it. I won’t tell anyone else what you said.”
Mu Qingxue was a little anxious. She waved her hand and said, “No, I don’t know anything. What I said just now was just a guess. It’s not true, if I were to tell anyone, it wouldn’t be good if it was fake.”
Housekeeper Wen said, “Then tell me your guess. Just treat it as a casual chat, don’t worry, I’m only listening. Even if I tell others in the future, I won’t say it’s your guess.”
Mu Qingxue hesitated for a moment.
She reached out and brushed her hair before saying, “Actually, it’s nothing much. I just suspect that the current Ye Qingran is not Ye Qingran anymore.”
As she said that, the corner of her mouth curled into an embarrassed smile.
“But I think I’m overthinking it. After all, I like reading novels. Since you’ve heard my guess, then just forget it. Just think of it as me putting the contents of the novel into reality.”
“The current Ye Qingran is not Ye Qingran?” Housekeeper Wen clearly did not understand the meaning of this sentence.
