Guan Meiyi didn’t want Ms. Liu to call her madam, so she had asked her to call her by her first name, which sounded more intimate.
“Ms. Liu, I know what you’re worried about. It’s okay. I guess the Gu family came to me at this moment because Zhiqian is not around. If I really went with Zhiqian, then they would find another way to see me alone. So, to save the future trouble, I’d rather get it over with this time,” Guan Meiyi said. Then she began to change her clothes. “Where is the housekeeper of the Gu family now?”
Ms. Liu took the clothes from Guan Meiyi and said, “I invited him to sit in the living room. Don’t worry, I’ve told Ms. Wu to watch.” Ms. Wu was in charge of cooking in the house.
Guan Meiyi nodded in satisfaction. Suddenly, her eyes lit up and she whispered into Ms. Liu’s ear. Ms. Liu was shocked. “Are you sure?”
Guan Meiyi pursed her lips and smiled. “Go.”
Ms. Liu nodded slyly and left the closet.
When Guan Meiyi came out after changing, she caught Mr. Xu rummaging through the objects in a display cabinet. Guan Meiyi’s eyes darkened. “I’m ready. Let’s go.”
Hearing Guan Meiyi’s voice, Mr. Xu shook and dropped the piece of pure silver item he was holding. Seeing that Guan Meiyi was standing there looking at him, he quickly bent down and picked it up. He hurriedly put it back to its original position and looked at Guan Meiyi impatiently. “What took you so long? Didn’t I say that the old master is waiting at home?”
Guan Meiyi slowly walked down the stairs, “I worked for a whole day, so I had to wash up. Besides, this is my first time meeting the elders of the Gu family, so I have to dress up properly, otherwise, I’d appear disrespectful to the elders, right?”
“Okay, okay, let’s go now.” Mr. Xu was about to walk out.
Guan Meiyi glanced at the decorative item that he had held in his hand. “If you like it, I can give it to you.”
Mr. Xu’s face tensed up. “I’m the housekeeper of the mansion. I’ve seen all kinds of treasures. Ms. Guan, let’s go now.”
He strode out of the house and waited for her outside.
Guan Meiyi glanced at Ms. Liu before leaving the house. When she saw the latter’s nod, she walked out with a cold look in her eyes.
When they reached the Gu mansion, Mr. Xu got out of the car and did not open the door for Guan Meiyi. In fact, this showed that the Gu family and its housekeeper had low regard for Guan Meiyi. Under normal circ.u.mstances, the housekeeper or other servants of the Gu family would open the car door for the visitors before they got out of the car.
Guan Meiyi opened the door and got out of the car. Mr. Xu said to her with a proud face, “This is the Gu family’s mansion. You haven’t been here before, so don’t wander around. Just follow me and don’t touch anything. Every decoration item in the Gu family is an antique. If you break one and make the old master angry, no one can help you!”
Mr. Xu lectured Guan Meiyi as if she was a new maid. He did it in front of other servants and they all looked at Guan Meiyi strangely.
With a sneer, Guan Meiyi stared at him and asked, “Mr. Xu, who am I?”
He was stunned, then frowned and said impatiently, “You’re Guan Meiyi!”
Guan Meiyi pursed her lips and smiled. “Remember your words.”
