Chapter Eighty-Three: Only Scheming from Behind

  "It doesn't matter, there's still one last..."

  "Finally! What is it!!?" Little Wei became excited, with an urgent look on her face, as if she had seen a glimmer of hope.

  "Free performance. It's whatever you want to perform, you perform it. The four items have the same proportion, all 25%. That's all I've got to say." Yin Tong Ye crossed his arms over his chest, looking down at her with a superior attitude.

  Xiao Wei let out a sigh, like a deflated balloon, weakly swaying back and forth, pouting with a bitter face: "Embroidery is really difficult, I can even poke several holes in my hand just trying to mend a sock for myself."

  "That's it, then. I'll just buy a new one. Honestly." Yin Tongye said casually, usually he would replace his socks with new ones before they even got torn.

  "I don't have as much money as you, I still need to save some, and I also want to find my mom, there's been no news lately." Xiaowei sadly lowered her head. She had originally thought that if she could find her birth mother early enough, when she participated in the beauty pageant, both her adoptive mother and birth mother could come watch, how great would that be.

  She wants to show her efforts to the people she respects.

  Yin Teng Ye looked at her, raised her hand and slowly touched the crystal shoe hanging around her neck. In her mind, she saw her grandmother's loving smile and gentle words - With this necklace, you can find your mother, go find your mother.

  "Don't be sad anymore, I'll get someone to help you find her. Anyway, I'm also looking for my birth mother." He wanted to tell her this secret that he had been keeping all along.

  Listening to his words, Xiaowei was astonished and asked in doubt: "Your birth mother is no longer by your side either?"

  "Yes, she abandoned me without any reason and disappeared. This necklace is the only thing she left behind." Her eyes dropped down, with thoughts and faint sorrow accumulating in her warm gaze.

  Xiao Wei looked at the crystal shoe in his hand and seemed to understand what he said that day. He was willing to help her because they had similar experiences, it seems that the two of them were also sympathetic to each other's plight.

  "Mr. Yin." Little Wei smiled and took a step forward, opening her arms to give him a hug, encouragingly saying: "Let's work hard together! We'll definitely all find it!"

  Feeling her embrace, a warmth flowed into his heart, and a smile floated onto his sorrowful face. But in the next second, he suddenly felt his heartbeat accelerate, and he hastily pushed her away, exclaiming: "Ah! Ah ah! Didn't I say that men and women should not be intimate?! How many times do you want me to say it?!"

  "I know, but a hug of encouragement, I think it's nothing, now what era is this, Young Master Yin, you shouldn't sneak into my room at night, right?"

  Xiao Wei smiled slyly. Judging from his behavior, what he said earlier was indeed a joke. If he's so afraid of contact, how could he possibly sneak into her room?

  Yin Tong looked at her with a proud expression, but somehow he felt that she didn't take him as a man.

  "Hmm, don't worry, I won't sneak into your room. I'll openly enter your room by opening the door. I'm not joking around. You'd better not sleep too soundly. And don't even think about locking the door, I have all the keys to every door in the house. Hehehe."

  This time he changed into a more relaxed mood, swinging his legs and turning around, he puckered up his mouth to suppress his own excitement, walking towards his own room.

  Xiao Wei helplessly shook her head, and didn't take his 'joke' seriously at all.

  After finishing dinner, Ah-hyun changed into her own clothes and walked out of the small house, looking around to head upstairs. However, just as she reached the stairs, a hand suddenly stretched out and stopped her.

  "You'd better stay in your room and not go out anywhere, it's not a good time for you to be wandering around."

  Gu Hai Lin stepped up to a higher level, looking down at the exchange maid in front of him with a stern gaze. From the time Ai Xi Yan came to the Xiu household, she had already noticed that this woman obviously liked Young Master!

  It's not easy for Xiaowei to be absent, but another one has come, and there are really many love rivals!

  Ai Xiyuan took a closer look at the woman in front of her, wasn't she the family maid who swept the floor with her before? She looked quite elegant and refined, so why was there hostility and coldness in her tone.

  "Hey, you're on the same level as me, what makes you speak to me in this tone? Besides, I'm a guest too, watch your attitude."

  With a disdainful glance, Ai Xiyuan lifted her foot and brushed past her. Gu Haolin hastily grabbed her, but didn't expect that with one backhand, she had pinned herself down.

  "Ah, it hurts! You, let go quickly!"

  "Let me go if you want, but don't provoke me again. When I get angry, your arm will be done for! Looking at how arrogant you were just now, I wonder if you usually bully Xiaowei like this too!" As she spoke, Ai Xiyuan increased the force on her hand.

  "Ah! No, no, I didn't, sorry, my mistake, it's just that you're new here, so I... next time I won't dare, sorry." Gu Hai Lin timidly begged for mercy and immediately escaped as soon as she loosened her grip.

  Gu Hai Lin, who had retreated to the door of his room, pressed down on his shocked heart and gritted his teeth in frustration. He hadn't expected this exchange maid to be so formidable. Unable to confront her head-on, he could only resort to playing tricks behind her back!

  Knock, knock, knock - the door was knocked on, and Xiaowei opened it to see a maid holding milk with a very happy expression, saying: "Here, the task of delivering milk is handed over to you!" After Xiaowei took it, the maid quickly retreated, as if she couldn't wait to get rid of this milk delivery job.

  Xiao Wei looked puzzled, but didn't think much of it and walked over to knock on the door: "Young Master Yin, may I come in? I brought you some milk."

  The door creaked open, and Yin Teng Ye's tightly furrowed eyebrows looked at her with a hint of annoyance as she held out the milk, saying: "Hmph, they let you deliver milk to me!"

  "What's wrong?" She thought it was strange, looking at Young Master Yin's expression, he seemed to dislike milk.

  "I don't drink milk, I've told them that many times, but they still insist on sending it every day! You can have it, I won't drink it!" Yin Tongye reached out to close the door, but Xiao Wei quickly used her foot to hold it in place and said urgently: "No way!"

  "Huh?" Yin Teng Ye relaxed a bit, and Xiao Wei took the opportunity to slip into his room, putting the milk on the bedside table. "This isn't for me, I don't drink it," she said. "Besides, why don't you like drinking milk? Milk is fragrant and delicious, and nutritious too, good for your body."

  Yin Tengyue's face turned pale at the sight of milk, and he said weakly: "You're not drinking it? Then I'll just pour it away!"

  He reached out to grab it, but Xiao Wei quickly grabbed his hand and blocked him in front of her. However, he turned his hand over and flung hers aside. In an instant, she grasped his wrist with both hands, using the force from being flung away to pull him down onto her body, pinning her beneath him on the bed.
