“All right, Xiaoyu. I’ll take you upstairs to rest first. Don’t bother with unimportant people.”
Li Meien and Li Hou escorted Wen Shiyu upstairs. Wan Dou stared coldly at the three of them while starting to mull.
In the evening, Wen Zhehan came back from work and went upstairs to visit Wen Shiyu. When Wen Shiyu saw her father, she couldn’t help but cry again.
Although Wen Zhehan had always treated his wife with respect, he really doted on his daughter.
Other than telling her to rest well, she also arranged for other teachers to take over her classes at the music school.
At night, only Wan Dou and Wen Zhehan had dinner together. After dinner, Wan Dou greeted him and went upstairs to her room.
As she passed by Wen Shiyu’s room, she heard the conversation between Wen Shiyu and her mother coming through the door.
“Mom, what should I do? I won’t be able to attend the birthday party tomorrow. The dress I prepared is all for nothing. Just thinking about it makes me angry!”
In order to attend the party, Wen Shiyu had specially ordered a high-end dress with her mother. It was expensive. She wanted to use her mother’s birthday to get to know some of the upper-class socialites.
But now, everything was ruined!
“Maybe next time! You haven’t been back for long anyway, so there’s no hurry. If there’s a chance in the future, I’ll introduce you.”
Li Meien also wanted to introduce her daughter, who had just returned from studying abroad, to her friends in the circle through this banquet. But now, she could only scheme in the future.
“But I’m not willing to give up my chance to that bitch…”
Wen Shiyu gritted her teeth.
“Shh! Don’t let your father hear you!” Li Meien said in a low voice. “Don’t worry, I’ll make her regret returning to the Wen family.”
Li Meien whispered a few more words into Wen Shiyu’s ear, and the mother and daughter smiled smugly.
Wan Dou scoffed inwardly. She had long seen through it. Li Meien had said that he would introduce her to the upper class, but it turned out that he was just trying to take advantage of her.
It was too early for them to be happy. She was not easy to bully!
Just as Wandou was about to leave, she suddenly heard a gloomy voice behind her. “Miss Wan Dou, what are you looking at?”
Wan Dou was shocked. She turned around and saw that it was the butler, Li Hou. Li Hou’s face was half-hidden in the dark light, and was a little frightening.
Wan Dou turned around and smiled. “Butler Li, this is my house. I don’t think it’s illegal.”
“It’s not illegal,” Li Hou said.
“Since it’s not illegal, why are you asking so much?”
Wan Dou’s question made Li Hou speechless. “Also, Butler Li has been a butler for so many years. Don’t you know the rules of the Wen family?”
Li Hou stared at Wan Dou and asked while suppressing his anger, “What rules are you talking about?”
Pa!
“Don’t you know who I am?” Wan Dou scolded as she slapped Li Hou. “You’re calling me Miss Wan Dou, but it’s clear that you don’t respect me as the eldest daughter of the Wen family. You must still think that I’m a girl from the slums!”
Li Hou’s eyes darkened after being slapped. At that moment, Li Mei’en came out of the house and saw two people standing at the door. He asked, “What’s going on? Why are you making so much noise here? Don’t you know that Xiaoyu needs to rest?”
“Madam…”
Li Hou was about to complain, but Wandou beat him to it. “Auntie Li, it’s like this. I’ve already acknowledged my roots and ancestors. Logically speaking, Butler Li should call me Young Mistress Wan Dou, but he kept calling me Miss Wandou. So I hit him and used it as a lesson. Am I being too much?”
