After lunch, Xiao Mei said to Auntie Li,"I'm really tired after all this. I'm going back to my room to rest.”Auntie Li said,"Wait a moment. I'll send the bowls and chopsticks to the guard room outside the door. Then I'll go up with you." "Mr. Stanley has instructed me to accompany you to check the things in your room. See if there's anything that's not suitable and if there's anything that's missing. Tell him so that we can buy them together." From now on, you'll be living here. You can't lack daily necessities.”As she spoke, she put the bowls and chopsticks into a wooden multi-layered food box that the restaurant had sent over. Xiao Mei said,"Go back quickly. I'll wait for you here."”She looked at the food box and asked casually,"You're in such a hurry to send it over. Do we have to pay for every meal immediately?"”"No need," said Auntie Li. They were not in a hurry to get the bowls and chopsticks after they were sent over. "The hotel only keeps accounts for the money we eat every day. I'll sign it. At the end of the month, I'll go over and settle the accounts. I'll hand the accounts to Mr. Stanley, and Mr. Stanley will transfer the money to the hotel according to the amount on the accounts. This is how it has been settled all these years. I've never touched any money.”
Auntie Li cleaned the table and poured a cup of jasmine tea for Xiao Mei. Then, she went to the bathroom to wash her hands. She came out with the lunch box and walked out of the guard room. She walked to the front door, put down the lunch box, took out the key, opened the door, walked out, and locked the door again. Xiao Mei thought, This Auntie Li is too meticulous and serious. There's only so little time, and it's broad daylight. Can I run away? Besides, even if I ran out of this door, there was another door outside. There was a strong male security guard guarding it. I was a weak woman, alone and unfamiliar with the place. How could I run out? If you're really worried, why don't you tie me to a pillar with a rope? It'll save you the trouble of opening and locking the door. After thinking about it, she found it funny." Auntie Li is such a pitiful manager of the South Hill Villa. She has become my waitress. She takes my meals from the outer gate for three meals a day. She also takes care of my dishes and sends them back to the outer gate for three meals a day. I have become the wife of a master and the daughter of a noble family. I don't have to leave my house and enjoy the fruits of my labor. I don't have to work at all." At home, I still have to work in the fields, cook, and wash the pots and dishes. Here, everything is free, and I'm relaxed. Thinking about it again, I'm not related to them, so why are they serving me like this? Isn't it just to ask me to give birth to a child for Zhang Jingye? It seemed that Zhang Jingye would definitely come tonight. It was inevitable that he would be humiliated by him. Thinking of this, she felt nervous and sad again. She didn't know how Zhang Jingye would treat her tonight. When she thought of that, she recalled the sweet times she had with Dasheng. The more she felt that what she had done was immoral and she had let Dasheng down.
After a while, Auntie Li returned and smiled at Xiao Mei."Let's go, Miss Zheng. Let's see if you're satisfied with the layout of your new house. If you're not satisfied with it, let me know so that I can correct it in time and redo it. You're getting married again tonight. Take a rest first and have a good sleep. You'll have the energy to enjoy your wedding at night.”
Auntie Li was obviously mocking her. Xiao Mei blushed when she heard that. She was angry and said,"Auntie Li, what nonsense are you talking about? What do you mean I'm getting married again? When did I divorce my husband? Don't treat other people's pain as happiness. Do you think this is fun? Let me remind you, if you make such a joke again, don't blame me for not giving you face!”
Auntie Li saw that Xiao Mei was angry and knew that she had said something wrong. She quickly apologized and said,"I'm sorry, Miss Zheng! I know I was wrong. I promise I won't make such a joke in the future. I was bored staying here and wanted to find some fun to make you happy. I didn't expect to say the wrong thing. Don't be angry. Look, there are only the three of us in such a big villa. The security guards are staying in the outer courtyard and can't come in. Aren't there only the two of us here? If we don't say or laugh, won't we be bored to death?”
"Joking is fine, but you can't joke like this. Did you know? I hate this matter the most, and it's also the most taboo. You might have heard that because my son has leukemia and I can't raise the money for the surgery, I had no choice but to agree to come here with Boss Zhang. I'm extremely sad and ashamed. I feel that I've let down my husband. I was just thinking about it, feeling ashamed and scared. I didn't know how to deal with tonight. Yet, you're making fun of me for being poor. Do you blame me for being angry?”
"Don't be angry. If I hurt my body, I deserve to die! It's all my fault for being talkative. Mr. Stanley has told me about you. He sympathizes with your son. Out of sympathy, he accepted you. Actually, Mr. Stanley had no choice but to do such a thing. Look, he's already so old and has such a big family business, but he doesn't have any children to be his heir. How can he not be worried and anxious? He just wants a child and has no intention of hurting you. Mr. Stanley is very good to women. Not only is he polite, but he also knows how to love and protect them. Especially for a young and beautiful woman like you, he will be more concerned, considerate, and take care of you. After you live together for a long time, you will slowly understand his character.”Auntie Li tried her best to put in a good word for Zhang Jingye.
"Whether it's good or bad, since he's here and has taken his money, we can only let him be.”Xiao Mei had heard Auntie Li's words many times and felt a little impatient.
"Don't be afraid. I can tell that Mr. Stanley has a good impression of you and likes you from the bottom of his heart. He bought so many things for you and spent so much money.”Auntie Li still spoke up for Zhang Jingye. She was indeed a loyal servant of the Zhang family!
Even though the two of them had different moods and their opinions were on the left, there were only the two of them in the huge inner court, so only they could speak. The two women talked as they left the guard room in the inner courtyard and came to the living room of the building. Although there was a sofa, a coffee table, and a television here, Xiao Mei did not want to stay, so the two went straight to the second floor. There was also a hall in the middle, but it was slightly smaller than the first floor. There were three sofas of different sizes in the inner area, forming a semicircle shape, with a coffee table in the middle. There was a large air conditioner in the corner. There was a petal-shaped chandelier on the ceiling. The decoration was more elegant and exquisite than the living room on the first floor. There were various rooms around. Auntie Li pointed to each room and introduced them to Xiao Mei. Which was her bedroom, which was Mr. Stanley's bedroom, which was Mr. Stanley's study and office, which was the bathroom, and which was the storage room. She introduced them clearly.
Xiao Mei realized that her bedroom was connected to Zhang Jingye's bedroom. She thought to herself, since they were going to sleep together and do that kind of thing, why did they have to separate the two rooms? It was a waste of a house and a set of furniture. Auntie Li seemed to have noticed Xiao Mei's doubts and explained,"Mr. Stanley is old and likes peace and quiet. He often has to consider company and family matters, so he has his own bedroom. The decoration is naturally more luxurious and comfortable, suitable for rest. Without his permission, you are not allowed to enter. This is Mr. Stanley's rule.”"You said it this morning, so I'll remember it."”He thought to himself,'This is better. We have our own bedrooms. He wants to think about his things, and I want to think about mine. We won't interfere with each other.' He wouldn't take out a house, bed, and furniture to support me for nothing. Since he wants me to give birth to his child, he can't avoid doing that kind of thing. When the time comes, will he come to my bedroom or ask me to go to his bedroom? Zhang Jingye likes to be quiet and clean, so he probably won't ask me to go to his bedroom. However, he is so noble. Isn't he afraid of dirtying his clothes and body by coming to my bedroom? He really couldn't understand what this old man was up to.
Auntie Li saw Xiao Mei standing still with a solemn expression. She did not know what she was thinking, so she reminded her,"Don't you want to rest? Quickly open your bedroom and take a look." Only then did Xiao Mei remember that Auntie Li had already given her the key to the bedroom. She quickly took out the key from her handbag and opened the bedroom door before walking in with Auntie Li.
This was a small room with a small Simmons bed in the middle. The bed was fully furnished, and the bedding and pillows were all available. The two sides of the bed were close to the wall. On one side was the wardrobe, and on the other side was the dressing table.
Auntie Li pressed the mattress and said," This kind of mattress is neither too hard nor too soft. It's very comfortable to sleep on. My house uses this brand of mattress. Try sleeping on it!" Xiao Mei pressed the mattress with her hand and said,"Not bad." I'm not a rich lady. It's fine as long as I can sleep.”Auntie Li said,"You still don't understand the situation here. It's different here than at home. At home, you work more and sleep less. You fall asleep the moment you get to bed, and you almost can't tell whether the mattress is good or bad. Here, you have more time to sleep and less time to do things. You spend more than ten hours a day in bed, so you can't sleep uncomfortably!”"Really?" Xiao Mei asked. He thought,'Does Zhang Jingye want me to sleep with him in broad daylight and do that kind of thing?' He didn't have to work at the company anymore? However, it wasn't convenient for him to ask, so he shook his head and didn't agree.
Mrs. Lewis opened the closet again and said,"Mr. Stanley asked me to buy these clothes for you. Take a look and try them on. Are you satisfied?" What else was missing? Report it to Mr. Stanley, and I'll go buy it again." Xiao Mei looked at the clothes rack. There were single clothes, cotton clothes, and clip clothes. There were clothes for all seasons. There were two sets of each style. The quality was not bad. There were also pajamas, underwear, bras, and so on. The variety was very complete. The length of the clothes was also suitable. She said,"Not bad, it's enough to wear. There's no need to buy more.”
Auntie Li turned around and pointed at the dressing table."Check if there's enough makeup. If there's anything missing, buy it.”Xiao Mei looked at it and said,"This is enough." I don't usually put on makeup and rarely use cosmetics.”"You can't do it here. You have to put on makeup," Auntie Li said. Mr. Stanley asked his employees to put on makeup every day. They were not allowed to go to work without makeup. Look at me, I'm already so old. I put on makeup every day, but it's lighter than yours.”She looked at Xiao Mei and said,"Your makeup is good today. Your hairstyle and clothes are very fashionable." Mr. Stanley would like to dress like this from now on.”Xiao Mei said,"I didn't put on makeup today. I don't have such good skills."”"Did you go to a beauty shop to get your makeup done?" Auntie Li asked. Going to the beauty shop every day for makeup would cost a lot of money!”"I have so much money to go to a beauty shop to get my makeup done. Why would I come all the way here to suffer?" Xiao Mei said. Today's makeup was done by my classmate Jin Yuying.”
"Are you talking about Miss Jin?" Auntie Li asked. Is she your classmate? He heard that she was very capable. Even Mr. Stanley was afraid of her.”"Mr. Stanley is the big boss. Why would he be afraid of her?" Xiao Mei said. Yuying still had to rely on Mr. Stanley to do business.”Mrs. Lewis still insisted on her opinion and said,"Miss Jin, you're very capable to be able to open the Zhang Corporation's merchandise exhibition store! How many people wanted to open a shop like this, but who could? Other businessmen opened their shops to seek profit, but Miss Jin opened her shop to seek profit without cost. In the past few years, she had made a lot of money from this exhibition store alone!”
Xiao Mei said,"You're an old employee of the Zhang family. Chairman Zhang trusts you so much. Won't you open a shop like this too?"”Auntie Li shook her head repeatedly." No, no. I've thought about it before. My husband's legs are not good, so I asked him to open an exhibition shop to earn some money so that my son can study. However, Mr. Stanley disagreed and said that he didn't know how to run it. Actually, who wouldn't sell cheap hair and sell expensive?”Xiao Mei thought to herself," You only saw the surface and don't know the inside story. Zhang Jingye has something on Yuying, so he let her open this exhibition shop." However, this was Yuying and Zhang Jingye's secret, so she could only keep quiet.
Auntie Li saw that Xiao Mei did not say anything and did not seem to care about this matter. That made sense. She had already made a lot of money by coming here to give birth to Mr. Stanley's child. She did not want to open an exhibition shop, so why should she care about this? Therefore, it was not appropriate to talk about this matter again. Xiao Mei yawned and said," Don't be too greedy. You have this job. The salary is so high, and your son is so outstanding. Are you two afraid of having no one to rely on in your old age?”Seeing that Xiao Mei was going to rest, Auntie Li stood up and said,"You're right. One can't be too greedy. I should be satisfied now. I'll go back and sleep for a while too. I think Mr. Stanley will definitely come tonight. At that time, we'll all have to accompany him.”
Auntie Li left. Xiao Mei looked at the new room, the new furniture, and the new clothes hanging in the wardrobe. She thought about Zhang Jingye's intention and the inevitable things that were about to happen at night, but she couldn't fall asleep. She thought about it, but she was in a dilemma. She had no way to escape. Her heart felt like it was being cut by a knife, and she was flustered. She was in so much pain that she did not know what to do.
