Chapter 27: Secret Meeting

  Yu Jie changed into her outfit and went back to the dressing room to fix up her old face, while I followed closely behind her, waiting for her orders at any moment.

  At this time, her phone rang. After answering it, she listened for a while and then started to scold the other party: "Useless thing! Fool! What's the use of raising you? If I have to dig three feet underground to find him, within three days if you can't do it, you'd better dig a hole and bury yourself!"

  Jade sister only said this one sentence and hung up the phone. Looking at her furious expression, I was already scared out of my wits. Damn it, this woman is too ruthless, always wanting to bury people!

  It can be seen that under her hands, the rice is mixed with a knife-like neck, and if you are not careful, your head will be chopped off.

  Later, Jade sister finally dressed up, she coiled a very fashionable bun on the back of her head, and applied thick makeup to her face, looking like she was wearing a white mask. Even though her face wasn't young enough and her figure wasn't perfect, but her noble royal demeanor gave people a sense of tense oppression, making them want to kneel down.

  "Xia Jian, this is a suit that Yujie bought for you. Try it on and see if it fits." Before I knew it, Yujie was holding a suit in her hand and handing it over to me.

  I was taken aback, hastily took it over, saw a string of English on the label, and couldn't help but exclaim in my heart: "Wow! This is Armani! Sister Yu's generosity is too extravagant!"

  In front of the dressing mirror, I put on this Armani suit, and the person in the mirror suddenly seemed to have changed into another person, high-end and elegant, compared to the previous sunny handsome, with an added layer of stability and introverted temperament.

  Jade sister praised me for a while, then ordered me to go to the garage to pick up the car and take her to the party venue. On the way, she received several calls and was busy beyond measure.

  Half an hour later, we arrived at the gathering place that Yujie mentioned. After getting off the car, I realized that it was a villa with excellent scenery and secrecy. Behind it were mountains and rivers, and in front of it was a river. The villa was hidden among the lush trees.

  I followed Yujie into the villa's living room and then upstairs, where I heard the sound of several women laughing coming from a certain room. After opening the door to this room, I found that all the people sitting inside were rich ladies, each with a handsome young man standing behind them.

  They saw Sister Yu walking in, and they all stood up to greet her. After exchanging a few pleasantries, they sat down and started talking about branded cosmetics, the art of healthy living, and finally, men.

  One of the rich women, when talking about her own man, was like a machine gun, speaking non-stop, saying that her own man didn't touch her once a year, making her have desires but nowhere to vent, so she could only keep a young handsome guy as a lover to make up for her physical deficiencies.

  Jade sister occasionally also participated in a few sentences, but all were superficial, as if in her eyes, the several rich ladies in front of her were a group of pitiful old mother dogs, who had nothing to do every day, and would rush out to see excellent men, and pounce on them to bite a few mouthfuls.

  Then the servant brought in some Western wine and snacks, and they started drinking while chatting again. Listening to a group of old ladies grumbling was simply a kind of spiritual torture. I found it boring but didn't dare show it.

  That bureau chief suddenly looked at me a few times, then bluntly told Sister Yu that I was quite good-looking, with clear features and strong bones, and asked if she could borrow me to use for a few days. Of course, I understood what she meant by "use".

  At this moment, I was afraid that Yu Jie would agree to it in one breath. Fortunately, Yu Jie tactfully declined her, but she wouldn't give up and complained that Yu Jie was too stingy, unwilling to contribute good things to share with the sisters together.

  Yu Jie didn't get angry, took a light sip of wine, and excused herself saying she still had things to attend to. Several rich ladies tried to persuade her to stay, saying there were many more programs that hadn't been performed yet, how could she just leave and spoil the fun for everyone?

  Jade sister repeatedly declined and self-penalized three cups, only then did the several rich ladies agree to let her go. After leaving the villa and getting in the car, Jade sister told me: those few rich ladies are all influential people in this city, every week they would organize a gathering like this, first drinking and chatting, then it's group licentiousness, making it hazy and chaotic.

  I asked Jade: "Since you don't like this kind of gathering, why are you still attending?"

  Yu Jie sighed and said, "No way, I have a lot of dealings with them in terms of interests, so I don't want to offend them. This time bringing you over is also because they forced me into a corner, but I just want them to see your excellence, absolutely not treating you like a pet to be played around with."

  I was deeply grateful, thinking that those rich women looked like terrifying vampires, if I fell into their hands, I would definitely be sucked dry like a mummy, fortunately Yu Jie didn't betray herself.

  After returning to the lakeside villa, I inevitably couldn't escape Yu Jie's teasing. Later, she fell asleep with her head on my arm, sleeping very peacefully. Afraid of startling her, I had no choice but to remain absolutely still like a wooden puppet.

  My hands and feet soon went numb, and sweat dripped from my forehead. Afraid that the sweat would drip onto her face, I could only tilt my head back. After an eternity of torture, Yujie finally woke up, stretched lazily, and told me we could leave.

  I was just about to leave when she called me back, saying that she's been feeling down lately and asked me to accompany her to a completely unfamiliar place for a few days. I hesitated and didn't want to agree, but in the end I nodded my head, thinking to myself that as someone else's personal assistant, I don't have any grounds to refuse.

  In the evening when I picked up Chu Xue from home, I said hesitantly: "Chu Xue, can I take a few days off? Something happened at my hometown and I need to rush back to deal with it."

  Chu Xue asked me how many days I plan to take off, I said it's still unknown for now, need to see the progress of things before deciding, she went "oh" and didn't ask anything else.

  When we arrived at the 19th building of the Xiangxiang Garden community, Chu Xue seemed to have thought of something and said seriously to me: "I'll go upstairs first, you can follow later! I don't want to run into that woman again and be stared at by her hateful eyes, it's as if she wants to swallow me whole."

  "What's there to be afraid of? What a coincidence! Besides, I'm your employee now, so I should follow you around. Come on! We still have to go back and cook dinner for you. Today I learned a new dish, it must taste good." I disregarded everything and put my arm around Chu Xue's shoulder, heading upstairs.

  "Get your dirty hands off me!" Chu Xue gave me a cold glance and said irritably.

  I loosened my grip on her and said with a rogue-like tone, "It was just a hug, did you have to react so strongly? Fine, you can hug me back then, that way you won't feel like you're at a disadvantage!"

  Chu Xue turned around with a huff, glaring at me and scolding, "Stop being so poor, okay? If tonight's dishes aren't delicious, you'll be the one who suffers!"
