"Impossible to be mistaken, that maid even flaunted it in front of me!" Lin Feiwei felt that everything Ye Wan did was a show-off, showing off that she had slept with Gu Yunting.
If Ye Wan knew what she was thinking, she would feel terribly wronged. She genuinely wished Gu Yunting would get married soon, and with whom, she truly didn't care.
"Weiwei, men, especially successful men like Gu Yunting, undoubtedly have countless women wanting to get into his bed, even to bear his children... The woman you mentioned is indeed someone to be wary of, but remember, it's normal for men to have affairs outside. What's most important is who ultimately becomes Mrs. Gu. You absolutely must not make a scene with him, lest you bore him, do you understand?" Mrs. Lin cautioned her.
"But I'm not reconciled," Lin Feiwei said with red eyes. She was a chaebol's daughter, how could she lose to an underling like a mere maid?
"Alright, I'll handle this for you. You absolutely must not dirty your own hands, understand?" Mrs. Lin, fearing her daughter would do something foolish, quickly advised her. Gu Yunting was not someone to trifle with; if he knew his daughter was playing games in front of him, he might despise her. They couldn't lose sight of the bigger picture for trivial matters.
"Weiwei, how exactly did you save Gu Yunting?" Mrs. Lin had always known her daughter had saved Gu Yunting, but her daughter had never been willing to say how.
"Oh, it was just one time when he was being chased and injured, and I saved him."
Lin Feiwei didn't want to recall that incident at all. She had been drinking with friends that time and, afraid of being scolded if she went home, had booked a hotel room. She accidentally tripped and knocked open a storage room door. She saw a man and a woman sleeping together, and at a glance, she recognized the unconscious Gu Yunting.
Her drunkenness had sobered up instantly. She immediately helped him put on his clothes and called a friend to help carry him to her room. As for who the woman was, she didn't know and couldn't be bothered to look. Later, Gu's bodyguards arrived and said she had saved their young master. Of course, she wasn't foolish enough to reveal that she hadn't actually saved him. From the very first time she saw Gu Yunting, she had fallen deeply in love with him. She couldn't let go of this opportunity to be with the man of her dreams.
After Lin Feiwei left, Mrs. Lin picked up her phone and called Mrs. Gu to inquire about her well-being. Incidentally, she 'accidentally' mentioned the affair between Gu Yunting and a maid. It was just a little maid, after all. Why soil her own hands and leave evidence? Using someone else's knife to kill was a much better approach.
...
After school in the afternoon, Ye Wan went to a student's home for piano accompaniment practice. Today was payday. After accompanying the student for an hour and a half, the student's mother gave her this month's payment. The mother and daughter saw her off together. She had accompanied for twenty days and earned four thousand yuan, leaving her still one thousand one hundred away from fifteen thousand. She had to hurry and earn money. There was also bad news: this household no longer needed a陪练 (péi liàn - accompaniment player), as the girl's mother said she was sending her daughter abroad to study. This meant another source of income was gone.
Just as she was pondering what else she could do to earn more money, a car stopped in front of her. The window rolled down, and it was the girl's father. He smiled and said, "Xiao Ye, get in, I'll give you a ride. Don't you need work? Coincidentally, a friend's child also needs accompaniment."
Ye Wan's heart stirred upon hearing this. She thanked him and got into the car. She turned to the man beside her and asked, "Mr. Wang, how old is your friend's child? A boy or a girl?"
