Uncle had never scolded her because of a woman before. But today, he got angry with her just because of a woman who suddenly showed up?
Coldly fuming, Leng Jing stomped up the stairs, making a thundering noise on purpose.
Concerned about her going upstairs alone, Aunt Chen accompanied her. Seeing her in such a huff, Aunt Chen couldn't help but find it a bit amusing.
"What are you laughing at, Aunt Chen? Who gave you the right to laugh at me? Are you laughing at me too?" Leng Jing glared at her angrily, her tone getting harsher with each word.
Aunt Chen instinctively shook her head and slowed down her steps, deliberately keeping a bit of distance from her.
Leng Jing, who was in a fit of rage, found everything distasteful. Seeing this, she got even angrier and gritted her teeth. "You're even backing away. It seems you all are becoming more and more lawless. Sooner or later, I'll fire you all."
Aunt Chen had watched Leng Jing grow up and knew her well. She knew Leng Jing was just blowing off steam and didn't say much.
Leng Jing didn't care about anything. During the short distance from the first floor to the second floor, she kept ranting and taking her anger out on Aunt Chen.
When a loud door - slamming sound came from the second floor, Song Ge stared at the second floor in disbelief, then pouted and sighed silently in her heart.
She must never provoke a rich young lady in the future. They were all hard - to - deal - with characters.
"Leng Jing is my niece. She's been living with me. She's been spoiled, so you don't have to take it to heart." Zhai Cheng looked up at the second floor, looking a bit troubled.
No wonder that girl kept calling him uncle. So she was Zhai Cheng's niece. Song Ge nodded in understanding upon hearing this.
"I know. I won't argue with her." Song Ge slapped her chest boldly, looking as if she had the broadest mind.
Zhai Cheng rarely curved his lips into a smile. He looked much better than when he first entered the door. Song Ge almost got captivated by his good looks again.
The culprit himself didn't notice at all. He swaggered over to the sofa opposite Song Ge and sat down, crossing his long legs.
Song Ge secretly glanced at him and then lowered her head to mutter: Monster. Why does a man have to be so good - looking?
After they were silent for a while, Song Ge felt uncomfortable all over. Just as she was about to find a topic, she heard a cold voice from across.
"You'll live here from now on." Zhai Cheng's cold and calm voice came into her ears again. "For convenience, you can live in the room next to mine."
Zhai Cheng arranged things naturally without realizing anything was wrong. But the driver and the butler standing beside had their mouths wide open.
Their young master didn't like to get too close to strangers. The rooms next to his bedroom had always been empty. Even the young miss couldn't live in them. But unexpectedly, he directly asked Song Ge to move in.
Song Ge instinctively wanted to refuse. Then she thought that Zhai Cheng was now a dangerous target and also someone closely related to her. Living closer to him would indeed be more convenient to some extent.
"Okay. I'll pack my luggage and move in later." Song Ge readily agreed and naturally picked up a fruit from the fruit plate on the table and stuffed it into her mouth.
She had observed just now that the fruits here were much fresher than the ones she usually bought at the fruit stalls. Sure enough, the life of the rich was beyond her imagination.
Now the butler and the driver's jaws were about to drop. These two people were so strange that it was shocking.
While they were so stunned, the two people involved didn't notice at all. One was happily eating, and the other was sitting there with a deep look in his eyes, as if lost in thought.
It was dinner time.
"Aunt Chen, go and call Miss Leng down for dinner." Zhai Cheng walked over to the dining table with steady steps, then shouted towards the kitchen.
Aunt Chen answered and wiped her hands on her apron as she went to the second floor to call Leng Jing.
Not long after, Aunt Chen came back with a worried look on her face. Leng Jing wasn't behind her.
How should she answer? Should she just say that Leng Jing was sulking upstairs and refused to come down for dinner? If she said so, would Mr. Zhai get angry too and then take it out on Leng Jing?
Aunt Chen deliberately walked downstairs slowly, trying to organize her words well. But unexpectedly, she still hadn't figured out what to say when she reached the downstairs.
"Sir, Miss Leng won't come down." Aunt Chen answered hesitantly, then added worriedly, "Dinner is so important. How can she not eat?"
Zhai Cheng didn't even lift his head. He said calmly, "It's okay. If she doesn't want to eat, let her skip it. It'll save some food anyway."
Aunt Chen wanted to persuade Zhai Cheng but didn't know how to say it. Finally, she sighed and silently stepped back.
She'd better prepare something for Leng Jing later. Otherwise, she would surely be hungry.
"Don't prepare food for her. Since she doesn't want to eat now, she doesn't need to eat in the future either." Zhai Cheng looked up and said indifferently.
Leng Jing upstairs had been listening to the conversation downstairs with her ears pricked up. Hearing this, she was so angry that her teeth itched. She roughly grabbed the quilt and covered her head.
"Really not going to call her?" Song Ge lifted her head from her food, biting her chopsticks and asking.
There were only the two of them sitting at such a big dining table, and servants were coming and going from time to time. To be honest, she always felt a bit awkward.
Zhai Cheng raised his eyebrows and gave her a casual glance. "No need. She'll come down by herself when she calms down."
After saying that, he also started to eat, elegantly enjoying the food in front of him, completely unaware of the awkward atmosphere in the room.
Song Ge bit her chopsticks and still felt uncomfortable all over.
However, this uncomfortable feeling didn't last long. After taking a bite of the food on the plate, she almost forgot about the awkwardness.
The food here was so delicious. It seemed that it wasn't a bad deal for her to live here.
"By the way, since I'm your assistant now, do you have any plans for tomorrow?" Song Ge lifted her head from the food and asked out of professional principle.
Zhai Cheng chewed the food in his mouth gracefully. He didn't answer until he had swallowed everything. "For tomorrow, there are no important arrangements for now. The main thing is to settle you down first."
"Me?" Song Ge pointed at herself, looking surprised. Did she still need arrangements? Hadn't they already agreed that she would be his assistant?
The man over there nodded and explained in detail, "My assistant can't be appointed so casually. There are still some procedures to go through. And an assistant also has work to do. I'll think about which position suits you tonight and arrange it for you tomorrow."
When it came to this matter, he really had to think carefully tonight about which position she was more suitable for. When he agreed to let her be his assistant before, it was just a momentary impulse, and he hadn't really thought about the details.
"Any position will do. I'm not picky." After a long while, Song Ge finally managed to say this.
The atmosphere between the two of them changed a bit again. It seemed that there was a bit more awkwardness.
Song Ge didn't think much about it. She just silently sighed that she was really easy to satisfy. Any position would do, as her main task was to make sure Zhai Cheng didn't die.
