"Meili! You little bitch!" Through the window, the housekeeper saw all her belongings being thrown into the spring. She roared at the top of her lungs, her face contorted with rage. Raising her hand, she lunged at Feng Yu.
Feng Yu simply sidestepped. The housekeeper's foot slipped, and she was about to tumble out of the window. Quick as a flash, Feng Yu grabbed her wrist.
The housekeeper's face turned ashen. The curse words died in her throat. With half her body hanging out of the window, she panicked and began to plead for Feng Yu to pull her back.
Feng Yu stared at her coldly. With a slight tug, she managed to steady the housekeeper. The housekeeper was still trembling, too shocked to come to her senses.
Some onlookers who had come to watch the commotion witnessed this scene, and word quickly spread.
"A new maid pushed the housekeeper out of the window! Luckily, she was saved."
"A new maid named Meili pushed the housekeeper off the building in front of everyone!"
"Meili tried to murder the housekeeper by pushing her downstairs!"
All sorts of rumors circulated about Feng Yu.
But Feng Yu didn't care about these rumors. After all, she was leaving today.
When Feng Yu arrived at the Wu family's villa and looked back, she saw the housekeeper wearing a smug expression.
Then Lin Xuan slowly walked out.
"This is not the place for you. Go back where you came from!" Lin Xuan stood upright, her hands clasped in front of her. Watching Feng Yu's retreating back, she felt a sense of satisfaction.
As a woman's intuition told her, Feng Yu's presence would affect her! No, it would even affect the entire Wu family.
This woman was too beautiful! She was a threat.
In the old master's bedroom, the old master glanced out of the door and frowned.
"Why hasn't that girl come today?"
Aunt Xue, who was busy nearby, was slightly taken aback. She naturally knew who the old master was referring to.
"Mr. Wu, that girl has been fired."
Hearing this, the old master's frown deepened, and his face darkened.
"What! I haven't even said a word, and someone has already fired her!? Who did this?"
Aunt Xue was a little surprised by the old master's strong defense of a maid.
"Mr. Wu, it was the second mistress."
Just as Aunt Xue finished speaking, Lin Xuan walked in. With a big smile on her face, she said, "Grandpa, are you feeling better?"
Seeing Lin Xuan, the old master's frown eased a bit.
"Ling'er, why have you come today?"
Lin Xuan walked up to the old master's bedside with a smile. She wiped the fine sweat from his forehead. To outsiders, it seemed like a very filial scene.
"Grandpa, you may not know this, but recently, a maid named Meili has been causing a lot of trouble in the Wu family. Fortunately, she has been fired, and now the whole family has finally calmed down."
Lin Xuan knew that the old master was very satisfied with Feng Yu's care. That's why she wanted to fill the old master's mind with all kinds of negative information about Feng Yu.
The old master frowned and glanced at Lin Xuan. "Is that really the case?"
Lin Xuan immediately showed a troubled expression. She sighed and looked quite sad. "Grandpa, to be honest, before that, I was..."
Lin Xuan hesitated, which made the old master's expression even more unpleasant. He seemed to have guessed something.
Seeing this, Lin Xuan immediately seized the opportunity. She began to choke with sobs and lay in the old master's arms, crying. Her eyes instantly turned red.
"Grandpa, you don't know how much I suffered when I was a maid. And she was just a new girl with a very stubborn temper!"
The old master sighed and could only comfort Lin Xuan.
"Ling'er, you've really been wronged. Now that she's gone, you should be happy. Your banquet is just a few days away."
Hearing this, Lin Xuan immediately showed a smile, a bit forced after the pretense of being wronged. "Okay, Grandpa. I will definitely attend the banquet in the best possible way!"
The old master nodded in satisfaction and then said to Lin Xuan, "As long as Ling'er is happy. Go and play. I'll introduce you to some people in a few days."
Lin Xuan's eyes immediately lit up. Wasn't this the highlight of her life!? If she could get to know a few more big shots, she would have more powerful backers.
Unable to contain her excitement, Lin Xuan bid farewell to the old master with a big smile.
The old master watched Lin Xuan's retreating back and sighed. He looked out of the window.
He had to admit that the girl named Meili had really pleased him. It was a pity that her character was far from satisfactory.
At this moment, Feng Yu had just gotten into the car when she was suddenly blocked by a luxurious limited - edition Starks Shadow.
The driver almost had a heart attack! He slammed on the brakes just in time, barely avoiding a collision.
If he had hit the car, he would have been bankrupt!
"Scared the hell out of me! Scared the hell out of me!" The driver kept patting his chest, still in a state of shock.
Feng Yu frowned and looked out of the window. She saw two black - suited men slowly getting out of the car.
"What's going on!" The driver was extremely nervous. After all, he was an honest man who didn't steal or rob. How could he have gotten involved with these people?
The black - suited men knocked on the window, signaling the driver to open the door. The driver was so scared that he obeyed.
Feng Yu, sitting in the back seat, frowned tightly. As soon as the car door was opened, she was forcibly dragged out of the car.
"What do you want to do!" Feng Yu had never experienced such a forced abduction before. She couldn't help but shout angrily.
"Our boss wants to see you."
Feng Yu was a bit annoyed. If he wanted to see her, there was no need to be so mysterious!
Feng Yu was pushed into the back seat of the car. Sitting beside her was Wu Jin, someone she was very familiar with, and Zhou Yun was in the passenger seat.
"Hey, little girl." Zhou Yun turned around and said with a smile.
"What do you want? You intercepted me in such a reckless way. Did I steal something from your Wu family or harm someone in your family?" Feng Yu opened the conversation coldly.
Zhou Yun immediately realized that he had angered Feng Yu. He quickly tried to ease the atmosphere. "Oh, you've misunderstood. We didn't mean it like that..."
"You can't leave yet." Wu Jin spoke up. He glanced at Feng Yu and said slowly.
Feng Yu couldn't help but laugh. "That's quite a joke. It was your Wu family who drove me away, and now it's your Wu family who wants to keep me."
"I'm not on their side. Their thoughts don't represent mine."
Feng Yu crossed her legs. She naturally knew that this man wanted something from her.
"If you have something to say, just say it. Don't beat around the bush. My time is precious."
