Chapter 12
Greetings
It wasn’t just Shen Xi and Jiang Xue who were sizing each other up.
Xia Chun and Jiang Lun were also comparing their looks. After comparing, they were very sure of their suspicions.
Xia Chun felt uncomfortable, especially when she saw Jiang Xue’s timid and fearful gaze when facing Shen Xi. She was heartbroken. However, the results were not out yet so she couldn’t make assumptions.
Mama Lin placed the fruit on the table and then took out disposable indoor slippers for Jiang Xue.
She had been busy just now and accidentally let this wild girl come in without changing her shoes. When she thought about how she would have to mop the floor later, she instantly felt annoyed.
However, in front of her employers, Mama Lin still said very politely, “Miss, please change your shoes here.”
Mama Lin did not expect that her words would somehow provoke Jiang Lun. She was immediately scolded, “Bring that pair of pink indoor slippers over here. Why would you make a guest wear disposable indoor slippers?”
Mama Lin was shocked by the scolding. Shouldn’t guests wear disposable indoor slippers?
However, Mama Lin did not refute Jiang Lun. For the sake of her salary, Mama Lin still answered with a smile on her face. Then, she took out the indoor slippers that were obviously much better in quality. She stood aside respectfully and waited for Jiang Xue to change her shoes.
However, the disdainful look in Mama Lin’s eyes when she lowered her head was noticed by Shen Xi who had been staring at the two of them. The smile on her face deepened.
At this moment, Jiang Xue could not suppress the excitement in her heart. This was her life now. She was high and mighty and others had to kneel at her feet and wag their tails at her.
She could’ve had all these eighteen years ago. It was all because of Shen Xi, the robber who had stolen her wealthy life. It was all because of her that she had led a miserable life for eighteen years. Shen Xi was the culprit.
When the results of the paternity test was out, she would seek justice for herself. She wanted Shen Xi, who was now high and mighty, to kneel in front of her and repent. She wanted her to bow down in front of her and be submissive. With this thought, the excitement in Jiang Xue’s heart swelled up, but it was well hidden under her obedient face.
Xia Chun spoke softly to Jiang Xue at the side, and asked Mama Lin to bring some exquisite pastries and tea.
Jiang Lun also sat on the sofa, unlike his usual self. Even his eyebrows and eyes were much more relaxed than usual, and he appeared much more amiable. From time to time, he would interject a few words to respond to Xia Chun. He was not as serious as he usually was to Shen Xi.
Jiang Lun was someone who was kind to everyone outside, but he always treated Shen Xi harshly at home. She did not think much of it and thought that that was just his personality, but apparently this wasn’t the case.
After sitting with Jiang Xue for a long time, Jiang Lun got up and said that it was time for him to go to work. He also brought Xia Chun to the hospital to check on her knee.
Then, the couple handed Jiang Xue over to Shen Xi to take good care of her.
“Mama Lin, help cousin carry her luggage,” Shen Xi said with a slight smile.
Mama Lin was not particularly willing, and Jiang Xue’s face was also red with displeasure.
But in the end, Mama Lin still listened to Shen Xi’s instructions. She did not care about Jiang Xue’s wishes and snatched the cloth bag.
Mama Lin looked at the gray cloth bag in her hand that had been over-washed after overuse and the contempt and disdain in her heart deepened. She wondered why her employers would like such a poor girl who had come out of nowhere. She felt disgusted when she looked at the poor girl.
Having worked as a nanny for rich families for decades, she had a higher standard of living. Naturally, she looked down on poor people.
Mama Lin brought the two of them to the room where Jiang Xue would be staying. She threw the cloth bag in her hand on the bed, making a loud noise. Jiang Xue immediately blushed in embarrassment and clenched her fists tightly by her side. When the result of the paternity test was out in a few days, she would definitely teach Mama Lin a lesson.
Shen Xi looked at the two of them and could see the tension between the two. She said to Jiang Xue with satisfaction, “Let’s go. I’ll show you around the house.”
Jiang Xue looked at Shen Xi walking in front. Just by looking at her back, she looked extremely elegant. Then she looked down at herself. She was like a girl walking behind a princess. The inferiority complex in Jiang Xue’s heart reappeared, making her a little annoyed.
