Chapter 324 - Sister Rongs First Day as a Housekeeper (1/2)
What comes in sight is the delicate attic, neat and tidy floor tiles in the front yard full of the architectural style of the Ming Dynasty. The carved cornices loom among the leaves of the camphor tree. The blue bricks on the wall are engraved with lines and patterns. She can smell the fragrance of fruit in the backyard, and even sees them through a paved path … Even though Sister Rong is a young playgirl, she knows how dignitary of the owner is to have such a large house in downtown Rong City despite the “Enclosure Movement” by real estate companies in recent property boom.
Like Aunty Li first comes to Lin’s house, Sister Rong also feels that she becomes shorter as she steps forward. On the contrary, the exquisite Ming-Qing style courtyard becomes higher.
Cao Liyang, who picked them up, is already a boss-style man, he says, ” Thanks to you, Sister Rong I come here for the first time.”
Cao Liyang, who always has drivers to serve for him, is also allowed to enter for the first time?
Although Sister Rong is naughty, she is temporarily impressed by this situation at the moment. She behaves well. Because she resembles Rong Donglin, she looks gentle and elegant when she doesn’t yell.
Cao Liyang sees Zeng Tian coming, so he says with a smile, “I have brought her here. I’m leaving.”
“Grandmaster will blame me if I don’t invite you to have a cup of tea. Just come together, Rong.” Zeng Tian intentionally raises his arm to show his name-brand watch studded with diamonds under his cuffs.
Sister Rong’s eyelids twitch. The modern society’s information spreads fast. Young girls often read fas.h.i.+on magazines to follow the trend. This watch is a well-known Swiss brand. Sister Rong remembers clearly that it is a limited diamond-boarded edition . The version, which was released last month, sells for more than one million yuan.It is worth a suite.
Zeng Tian is very shrewd. Many years ago, when he was a spoiled son of his rich father, he was willing to lower herself to talk with Mr. Lin who was fis.h.i.+ng in front of the villa. After these years, he becomes even more astute, only staying cordial with his close a.s.sociates.
For worrying this little girl can’t recognize high-end customized products, he deliberately wears this conspicuously watch. It turns out that he is right on this.
Zeng Tian pretends that he does not notice her gaze. He invites Cao Liyang and Rong Donglin to drink tea. No one asks Sister Rong, so she follows them autonomously.
“Take a seat. I’ll make tea.”
He goes out carrying a kettle and the teacup. There are some small bamboo cans on the tray, which is for storage of tea.
Zeng Tian has followed Yuan Ye to manage Lin’s Pharmaceutical Factory for years. At least he learns some medicinal knowledge fromYuan Ye. Seeing two bags under Cao Liyang’s eyes, he knows that Cao Liyang may have a bad sleep recently. Therefore, Zeng Tian picks some pieces of ginseng and wolfberry helping to soothe his nerves.
“Ginseng and wolfberry can soothe your nerves and minds. Liyang, you should have a good rest.”
Rong Donglin has many problems on his mind, looking dispirited, so Zeng Tian directly serves him a cup of Tieguanyin, a kind of green tea for refreshment.
“Donglin, look at you. You seem to be seventy years old. Have a drink to refresh yourself. This is a high-quality tea that Grandmaster has saved. I only dare to serve it for you two. ”
Tea is fragrant. Sister Rong sees that Zeng Tian is a more qualified housekeeper than her. However, she also sees his luxurious watch, which makes her perplexed to what does he do. Thinking this, she also has some expectations. The man is a good speaker, so she is wondering what kind of tea is made for her?
However, Zeng Tian has a cup of lemon tea for Sister Rong. Even if she doesn’t know famous tea, she still knows it is lemon slices. She is annoyed. There are so many bamboo tubes of tea, but this guy just gives her a cup of lemon tea. It is clear that he looks down upon her for being a housekeeper.
The young girl who used to be spoiled in Rong’s family, can’t hide her emotions. When she takes it, she doesn’t hold it firmly on purpose. Some liquid spills on Zeng Tian’s back of hands and taints his sleeves.
Sister Rong stands in amazement so she forgets to apologize at once. She doesn’t plan to scald him.
Cao Liyang cries out. Zeng Tian puts down the teacup, takes off his watch on the table, and runs to handle it.
“Brother …”
Rong Donglin starts to comfort her, “It’s okay. I know that you don’t mean it, and Zeng Tian won’t blame you as well.”
Sister Rong thinks that her brother is very good today. Since he is good, she doesn’t want to oppose him. She is willing to be a clever sister.
Then Sister Rong is immediately attracted by the familiar name Zeng Tian. She never thinks that one day she can get along with her elder brother in such a harmonious atmosphere and it is exactly because that her boyfriend who loves to incite disputes is not here.
Zeng Tian. His name is Zeng Tian. He is the heir of Zeng’s real estate. He is the eligible bachelor in Rong City who appeared in the magazine last month. How can he be here to serve tea?
Sister Rong looks at her hands. Does she come to take over Zeng Tian’s job?
Having changed his clothes, Zeng Tian rushes out, “Liyang, Donglin, we have to go to the company. There is something urgent.”
Cao Liyang guesses something, but Donglin believes without a doubt. Having no time to worry whether Sister Rong can get used to Lin’s family, he comforts her only by a few words, and then he leaves with Zeng Tian right away.
Lin’s house is quiet and empty. There is only Sister Rong in the living room. She is anxious.
She thinks it is humiliating to be dismissed on the first day, so she says to herself that she can do this “easy” job. And then she stands up to clean up the mess.
Next to the teacup, there is the watch that Zeng Tian has forgotten to take away. Under the sunlight, it is s.h.i.+ning with an unusually bright light.
SisterRong’s eyelids twitch the second time.
This is a top watch worth one million. If she and her boyfriend can have the money to start their business, she dose not have to be a housekeeper .
Sister Rong’s face shows desire and regret.
She reaches out her hands and carefully grabs the watch beside the teacup, feeling her heart is jumping.
…
Mrs. Lin comes back full of happiness, carrying all sizes of bags in her hand. w.a.n.g Miao’e misses her daughter so much that she comes back home first. Mrs. Lin is informed that Lin Luoran has been at home for two days, so she quickly returns by plane.
“h.e.l.lo. Luoran, Luoran … Yuan Ye … Zeng Tian?”
There is no response. It is very strange. Usually, there is someone at home. Where are they?
When she is thinking, a lovely young girl comes out of the kitchen. She seems to meet the girl before, but she doesn’t know her.
Sister Rong sees the lady in front of her. She doesn’t know how old the lady actually is or how to address her. They look at each other confusedly. But then Sister Rong thinks she can’t be so timid, so she introduces herself.
“Mrs., I am the new housekeeper . You can call me Rong.”
