C50 Danger (1/2)
The Gu family villa had been built many years ago, so the path from Zhou Muwan's room to Gu Nanyin's room was a long one. It was a dead end and couldn't be reached anywhere except for the cleaners.
The corridor was dark at night, with only a faint starlight illuminating the floor. As the two passed through the corridor, a rustling sound scared Gu Nan Yin and made her retreat a few steps. In the darkness, she saw a blurry figure that seemed to be pushing something.
”Who?” Who is it? ”Come out quickly!” Zhou Muwan was also a bit unstable, but she still shouted.
”If you don't come out, I'll call the security!” Gu Nan Yin gripped her phone tightly as she said with a trembling voice.
At this time, a weak voice came from the corner, ”Second Miss, Miss Zhou, don't call the security guards.”
As the sound got closer, a girl in her twenties walked out, pushing a dining cart.
The two of them let out a long breath, it turned out to be a waiter. Zhou Muwan looked the girl up and down, then asked warily, ”Are you a servant of the villa? ”How come I've never seen it before?”
The girl bowed and said, ”Second Miss, Miss Zhou, I came to help last week. I was always in the back kitchen making pastries, and I didn't have enough manpower today, so I came to deliver the food to Second Miss. But I'm not familiar with the road, so I entered this corridor by mistake and let the two ladies be frightened.”
”Alright, it's alright.” Gu Nan Yin looked at the small cart pushed by the girl, ”I'll push it myself, sorry to trouble you.”
”How can that be? Let me do it. ”
In the end, the girl couldn't bear to see Gu Nan Yin, because Gu Nan Yin said that if she persisted, she would get the head of the kitchen to dismiss the girl herself.
Back in his room, Gu Nan Yin swallowed the food in big gulps. It was obvious that she had forgotten the moment of shock.
Zhou Muwan silently sat next to her with her arms crossed, as if she was thinking about something.
”Sister Wan, what are you thinking about?” Gu Nan Yin asked as she swallowed the last mouthful of soft bread.
”I was thinking about the girl.”
”What happened to her?”
”Don't you think she's strange?” Zhou Muwan looked at Gu Nan Yin.
Seeing that Gu Nan Yin had remained silent, Zhou Muwan continued, ”She said that she just arrived a week ago and didn't even know the way to the kitchen. When she saw me, she blurted out 'Miss Zhou'. How did she know my surname was Zhou? Also, her hands are delicate, white, and well cared for, unlike those of a servant who worked in the kitchen. ”
Gu Nan Yin paused and said, ”Then what do we do? To dismiss her? ”
”No.” Zhou Muwan shook her head, ”Keep her. If there's really something wrong with her, no matter how careful she is, she'll expose it.”
Gu Nanyin nodded, ”But she's working in the kitchen. What if she poisoned us?” Ah, no, what I just ate couldn't have been poisoned, right? Ah … ”So uncomfortable …”
”Alright, she's only been here for a week, so she probably wouldn't dare to act rashly. The person backing her must be a powerful and scheming person.”
Gu Nanyin sighed, ”Sigh, grandfather is not here and there's a suspicion that there's a commercial spy at home. What a troublesome matter.”
Gu Nan Yin rubbed her swollen head and casually stroked a handful of hair. She smiled and said, ”If I keep falling like this, I'm afraid I'll lose my head.”
”Have you not rested well recently? Or was there something on his mind? How could so much hair fall out? ” Zhou Muwan asked with concern.
”What's on your mind? I don't know why, but I've been combing my hair everyday lately. I must have slept too much.”
”Have you slept too much?” Zhou Muwan stared at her and asked.
