Chapter 38: Hitting People

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

These servants worked at Qiao Chen’s house. Not only did they earn high wages, but they also had very few things to do. After all, the house had over ten servants. Even if they were to sweep off the dust every day, it wouldn’t be too tiring. Moreover, Qiao Chen wouldn’t care if they were serious about their work.

Hence, when they saw that Xu Wan vomited in the toilet bowl, none of the pampered maids wanted to clean up. They all looked disgusted.

Xu Wan frowned and was about to say something when she suddenly heard Judy’s voice. “Miss, what’s wrong? Why are there so many people gathered here?”

“Aren’t you the newcomer? Go wash the toilet. It’s so dirty!”

There was also an obvious hierarchy among the maids. In their eyes, the newcomer, Judy, was their target to bully and oppress. They had prepared to leave all their work for the next two days to Judy.

Judy’s eyes widened in surprise.

They wanted her to clean the toilet?

“Aren’t you servants? Do you not even know how to clean the toilet?” Judy stood with her arms akimbo and an indignant expression on her face.

She was the highest-status maid in the Qiao family. Usually, she left the dirty and tiring work for the other servants to do. She only needed to take care of the Miss’s food and lodging. How dare these people ask her to clean the toilet bowl?

“Aren’t you a servant too?” Jenny asked, as she got jealous at the sight of Judy’s good looks. She stepped forward and gave Judy a hard shove.

“I’m here to serve Miss, not to do these things! It’s not like Boss Qiao didn’t pay your salary. You aren’t even willing to do such a small thing?!” Judy stared at the maids in front of her who acted like true Misses and Madams in disbelief.

“Oh? So this woman brought you here? No wonder you shout like you don’t know the rules. You’re really as uncultured as her. Since you’re serving her, what’s wrong with cleaning up the toilet that she dirtied?”

Jenny stared at Judy imperiously. Then she glanced at Xu Wan disdainfully. “The master and servant are cast in the same mold! It’s equally disgusting!”

“Why are you so caustic? Who do you think you are? What right do you have to criticize my Miss Xu?” Seeing that Jenny not only pushed her but also insulted Xu Wan, Judy finally couldn’t take it anymore. She rushed forward and gave Jenny a tight slap!

Jenny covered her face in disbelief. It took her a moment to realize someone had hit her. The surrounding crowd began clamoring.

“How could she beat people? How shameless!”

“Hey, Xu Wan! Is this how you teach your servants? To hit people?”

“Jenny, are you okay?”

…

Amidst the chaos, the butler finally noticed the commotion and hurried over.

“What happened?” the butler demanded.

“Uncle Ben, they hit someone!” The maid supporting Jenny glared at Xu Wan and Judy.

Upon hearing that, the butler raised his hand and gave that maid a tight slap!

“What are you doing? How did you make Miss Xu angry? Hurry and apologize to her!” the butler said sternly.

Jenny and the group of maids were dumbfounded.

The butler hurriedly bowed and scraped to Xu Wan. “I’m sorry, Miss Xu. These servants don’t know the rules and have frightened you. I’ll teach them a lesson later!”

The butler saw Qiao Chen bringing Xu Wan out for dinner last night. He had never seen his boss treat a woman so well. He asked Ah De in private and found out that Miss Xu was Boss Qiao’s fiancée!

Between the ignorant servants and Xu Wan, he obviously had to protect Xu Wan with no hesitation!

Xu Wan waved her hand exhaustedly and did not pursue the matter. She held Judy’s hand and said, “Judy, let’s go.”

After the two of them left, the butler sternly chided the maids, “You bunch of people have been lazy usually, but today, you’ve actually angered Miss Xu. If Miss Xu wanted to pursue this matter, don’t even think of staying in the Qiao family! All of you have horrible judgment!”

Everyone started panicking after the butler left.

Besides leading a carefree life while working in the Qiao family, they could also earn 20,000 yuan a month. That was a superb job in the capital!

If they were fired, they definitely could not find such a good job elsewhere.

What should they do?

“Jenny, just now we talked back to Miss Xu to stick up for you. You must take responsibility for this!”

“That’s right. You said that Miss Bai Zhen would be back soon, so we didn’t have to take Miss Xu seriously. That’s why we didn’t respect her. Great, now we’re gonna lose our jobs!”

“When Miss Xu comes back, beg her to let us off…”

…

Jenni’s face turned ghastly when she heard the tongue-lashings and complaints from her sisters.

Wasn’t Xu Wan just an insignificant character? How come even the butler showed her so much respect?!

No, she couldn’t be fired.. She had a motive for staying by Qiao Chen’s side!
