177 Looked Like Her (1/2)

”Miss Bao, try slapping me again.”

Hui Yin's words shocked Bao Bai. Originally she thought the maid would burst into tears or at least yell at her in anger. If the latter happened, Bao Bai would only treat it as the maid talking back to her master and punish her even more severely for it. But Hui Yin did none of these things.

Before Bao Bai could fully comprehend what this maid was planning, she saw Hui Yin bow her head and say, ”Good morning sir.”

There was only one man who the maids call as 'sir'. It was the true master of the mansion, Lu Shen.

Hui Yin lowered her eyes and didn't look directly at him. She had already seen him come into the living room after Bao Bai slapped her.

Hui Yin deeply understood this man's character. If there was one thing Lu Shen didn't like, it was incompetent employees. But what he didn't like even more was if someone disciplined his employees without his consent.

Lu Shen looked at the swollen cheek of the maid. He recognized her as the one who fell into the pool yesterday. When he glanced back at Bao Bai, the frost in his eyes could form icicles.

Bao Bai wasn't the only one who was angry about what happened last night. This kind of woman, it made him loathe to share a house with her.

”What are you doing?”

At the man's cold voice, the only person in the room who wasn't scared stiff and could even roll her eyes was Hui Yin. He clearly saw what happened, but he had the gall to ask Bao Bai. My lord, get to the point. I still have to continue vacuuming the carpet under your feet!

”Lu Shen, it was my fault.” Bao Bai's voice softened, her expression turning helpless. ”I was looking over at the pictures that you sent me when I saw this maid snooping around and got angry. Since it was confidential, how could I let her be? I impulsively slapped her because I didn't want her to gossip around with the other maids. I'm already regretting doing it. If she wants to slap me back, then I won't stop her.”

Hui Yin was speechless at Bao Bai's ability to turn black into white. Was this really her friend? This seemed to be Nian Zhen 2.0 ah! Maybe Nian Zhen possessed her body?

What 'regret'? There was no trace of that at all in her expression!

What 'if she wants to slap me back, then I won't stop her'? This was clearly trying to make it seem as if Hui Yin wanted to slap her back!

Hui Yin didn't wait for Lu Shen to make a judgement and said with a pitiful look, ”Miss Bao, I wouldn't dare to slap you! Didn't I just say that Miss Bao can slap me again earlier? I was clearly at fault, so Miss Bao slapped me. But Miss Bao, doing this isn't right! I could sue you at court for a battery charge, don't you know?”

Lu Shen did a double take and glanced at the maid again. Although her chin was tilted down, her eyes that were staring at Bao Bai did not have a hint of backing down.
