"But what about you? What if that bastard man just now finds out..."
Shen Shiyu was terribly afraid of being caught back and beaten even more brutally.
"I can't just stand by and watch him torture you! You're my own daughter. I'll never allow such a thing to happen!"
Yang Wan was determined, looking as if she was bound to succeed.
"What are you sneaking around here for, Yang?"
Housekeeper Lu frowned her sharp eyebrows and walked over with a dark face.
"Sister Lu, just now General Manager Xiao told me to take good care of this young lady. I was just telling her what she needs to pay attention to."
Yang Wan forced a smile but had no choice but to do so.
"Hurry up and finish up and come in to do the dishes. The kitchen is short of hands!"
She glared at her and left without wanting to stay any longer.
"What kind of people are they? What right does she have to talk to you like that!"
Shen Shiyu was furious and scolded in a low voice at Housekeeper Lu's back.
"All right, all right. Let's not cause more trouble. Come with me quickly."
"At this time, the other servants have all gone to clean the guest rooms. Those bosses will surely get drunk later. There won't be anyone in the backyard."
Watching Yang Wan being so cautious of her surroundings like a thief, Shen Shiyu couldn't help but feel heartache.
"I can only take you this far. Go straight down from here and turn left. There's a small hole blocked by wooden boards. You can crawl out through it."
Shen Shiyu's face changed slightly. "Crawl? Is it a dog hole?"
"Under the current circumstances, not to mention a dog hole, even if it's a rat hole, you have to try to crawl through it! Yu'er, you're the only hope for mom. After you get out, perform well in front of Si Ming."
Yang Wan's lips trembled. "Our future depends on you!"
"I'm really fed up with this kind of inferior life."
Shen Shiyu felt a bit sad. "I know. I'll find a way."
After escaping from the small mansion, she went to a bar and got herself drunk. Glass after glass of liquor soothed her mood for the time being.
All the things like status, love and hatred, and family disputes.
At this moment, they were all just clouds floating by.
Shen Shiyu pressed the elevator button dizzily. She searched for a long time but couldn't find it. The blurry figures in front of her made her unable to distinguish.
Just then, someone pressed the button one step ahead of her.
"Which floor are you going to?"
"E-Eighth floor."
Shen Ximan looked at the drunk woman in front of her as coldly as if she were looking at trash. "Do you need any help?"
"If, if possible, yes." Shen Shiyu's head was like a heavy boulder and she couldn't lift it at all.
She reached out her hand. "Then hold on to me. Don't fall."
Not long after they got into the elevator, the elevator door reached the floor.
"Where's the key?"
Shen Shiyu was already very drunk and confused.
She rummaged through her bag while muttering stupidly.
"Two, both are the keys to the house. There's one more under the flowerpot. This, this can't be told to strangers."
Shen Ximan sneered inwardly, mocking her stupidity.
It was just that she had been waiting for her to fall into the trap for a long time. If it were someone else, or an unfamiliar man, Shen Shiyu would have been carried home and had a wild night.
But it was good this way. She could find out where her spare key was.
Even if there were any special circumstances in the future, she could still use it.
After opening the door, Shen Ximan threw the dead - drunk woman on the sofa.
"Miss! How could you get so drunk!"
Housekeeper Liang pretended to be concerned in front of outsiders.
"One more! I can still drink!"
Shen Shiyu mumbled, her consciousness already completely unclear.
"Miss, I'm really sorry. Our family's eldest..."
Before he could finish his sentence, his eyes were fixed.
Although Housekeeper Liang was a servant, during his time working in the Shen family's villa, he had seen all kinds of wealthy young ladies.
But he had never seen a woman as beautiful as this one before.
"It's just a small favor. It's nothing."
Shen Ximan said this casually and turned to leave.
"Wait, wait!"
Housekeeper Liang trotted into the house and took out a business card and handed it to her.
His smile was even more obsequious than those sycophants in the workplace.
"This is my business card. If you need any help, just tell me!" After saying that, afraid she might misunderstand, he added politely, "Please don't misunderstand. I'm doing this just to repay your kindness for sending the eldest miss back. The master and the mistress often teach us servants like this."
Shen Ximan almost burst out laughing.
Were the servants so competitive these days?
They even printed their own business cards.
Out of courtesy, she still accepted it gladly.
And she took the initiative to turn the topic back to herself.
"It's really timely. I just moved to the 12th floor today. I was just worried that I wouldn't have anyone to talk to. I wonder if it would be okay to often invite you over..." Shen Ximan deliberately glanced at Shen Shiyu. "Would your eldest miss mind? Maybe I'd better forget it."
Housekeeper Liang was no ordinary person.
Shen Ximan had already seen through his ways when she was in the Shen family.
He was a complete turncoat.
As long as there was a glimmer of benefit, he would betray in a minute.
Moreover, the clothes Shen Ximan was wearing today were extremely gorgeous.
"Well! It's a long story. Our eldest miss here is no longer the real eldest miss!" Housekeeper Liang took advantage of Shen Shiyu's drunkenness and talked freely. "If it weren't for pitying her living here alone and having no one to rely on, I would have retired and gone back to my hometown to live a leisurely life long ago."
"Alone?" Shen Ximan asked curiously.
The information Xue Xiaoqi gave her only said that Bo Siming had helped the Shen family get out of the detention center. She didn't know where Shen Yuliang and Yang Wan had gone.
When Housekeeper Liang mentioned this sensitive topic, he became vigilant.
Shen Ximan thought he would hold back for the sake of the former master, but unexpectedly, the explosive news he blurted out made Shen Ximan have a new view of this snobbish old man.
Sure enough, a sycophant would always be a sycophant.
"I haven't asked your surname after talking for so long, miss."
"My surname is Wen, the one with the water radical."
Housekeeper Liang smiled with wrinkled face. "Miss Wen, we're really destined. I'm very happy about today's conversation."
"Me too. If I have the chance tomorrow, could I invite you to my place as a guest? I feel so lonely living alone."
Shen Ximan smiled faintly and made her plan step by step.
"Sure, sure! That would be great! But..."
"What's wrong?"
Housekeeper Liang looked embarrassed. "Our eldest miss is dead drunk now. We don't know when she'll wake up. I can't leave her alone at home. It's against the rules."
"Then you can all come together. It'll be more lively with more people."
Shen Ximan squinted her eyes. She had already made up her mind.
When she was in the Shen family's villa, this Housekeeper Liang had tortured her a lot.
Now it was good. He had come to her on his own.
She would make sure he came with courage but couldn't go back easily!
"Sure, sure! No problem at all!"
