Chapter 21: Dumping Her Stuff
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
The world did not ache for anyone’s pain nor change for anyone’s absence. The earth kept spinning and the sun rose as normal.
The family welcomed a new Mrs. Mo while watching the old one leave.
Xia Yuwei had the driver and maids bring all her belongings. Standing in the landing, she flung her arms to bathe in winter sunlight, her eyes blinking at the sun from afar.
She was the hostess of the villa from then on. The thought again arched her lip and graced it with pride.
Wu Xiaomin and Lin Yanyan, two maids at the Mos, were sent on the unpacking assignment.
The two teenage girls only finished high school before they had to make a living of their own. They weren’t very thrilled about the assignment but had to swallow their grievances, their lips pulled tight in a flat line.
They cleaned the bedroom while clearing things out.
Most of the items belonged to He Xiyan, and there were a lot. She had lived in this house for the past three years after all.
There were bags of clothes, plus shoes that would probably fill up one bag as well and another bag of miscellaneous items, including towels, toothbrush, cups, skincare products, etc.
Xia Yuwei made it clear that anything owned or used by the previous incumbent, even a hair, found on the premise would result in their dismissal.
Unwilling to take that risk, they had skipped lunch and been working in the bedroom for two, three hours.
They didn’t dare to throw away the million-renminbi jewelry, though. So they put those aside and thought they’d give them to Mr. Mo once he came back.
“Yanyan, look, what is this?” Wu Xiaomin took out an A4 sheet from the nightstand drawer that read “Ultrasound Examination Report”.
Lin Yanyan leaned over but was not able to contribute to understanding the numbers on it, either. The two girls had never been in a relationship or an ultrasound examination room, nor did them have much physiological knowledge.
Membrane thickness, follicle size, uterine cavity echo... Words that did not make sense to them.
“This must be Miss He’s. She had a lot of these medical reports. Just dump it, Xiaomin. Remember Xia Yuwei said everything needed to go. If anything left then we go, too. It’s not easy to find a job with good money, I don’t want to lose it.”
Having said that, Lin Yanyan grabbed the report and tossed it into a trash bin.
The two girls kept working for a while.
They made the bed and reorganized the room to set it up for Xia Yuwei and her belongings after dumping everything with traits of the old hostess.
They finally concluded work by the time of the evening.
What an exhausting day.
It was the New Year’s Day, the first day of the new year.
They would have some days off if only Ms. He were still there. She would have let them go home to visit their family or travel to somewhere else, but she was gone, and so was their holiday.
Downstairs they were further reminded of the previous hostess’s leaving by the smell of dinner. They used to be allowed by Ms. He to join the family in enjoying the madam’s cooking, now they could only wait till everyone was finished to cook for themselves.
What an exhausting day.
While the two girls stood gaping, a cold voice sounded.
“What are you two still doing here? Haven’t I said you don’t have to work on public holidays?”
