Chapter Eighty Their Actions Decide Their Views

  Facing Ah-hyun's enthusiasm, Xiao Wei didn't know how to refuse. Since everyone had already actively boarded the car, she could only remain silent.

  Ai Xiyuan curiously admired the car of the Xiujia, seeing that both Master Xiujia and Xiaowei were expressionless and speechless. She suddenly felt a bit awkward, it seemed that Master Xiujia was not very willing to exchange after all.

  "Xiu Shao Ye, don't you like me?" Ai Xiyan pouted, her eyes brimming with tears as she looked at him with a sorrowful face.

  Xiu Ye Chen glanced at Ah Hsi Yen's scrunched up face and said calmly, "No, I don't dislike you."

  "But you don't look very happy, I'd be delighted to be your maid though." Ah Hye-yeon said, her face flushing pink as she bit her lip and looked away.

  "I'm not unhappy, it's just that you and Xiaowei exchanged roles, which is unfair to you. She only returned home as a family servant, so the work will be more tiring." Xiu Yuchen closed his eyes and explained patiently.

  "Housemaid?" Ah-hyun looked at Vi in surprise, and Vi nodded silently.

  At school, she appears to be a specially treated personal maid of Xiaowei, but in fact, she is just an ordinary household maid.

  A Hee-yeon slapped her palm on Soo-young's shoulder and laughed, "What's the big deal? I also started out as a housemaid! I entered the Yoon household at 15 and got promoted after two years of being a housemaid. As long as you work hard, it doesn't matter what you do."

  "Really?" Hearing Ai Xiyuan say that, Xiao Wei became even more ashamed and hung her head. Although she already felt that she had been very diligent and hardworking, after staying in the Xi family for 17 years, she was still just a household maid. Even though Madam seemed to like her and gave her many privileges, she had never mentioned promoting her.

  She wished Xiao Wei's status remained very low.

  Arriving at Xiu's home, Xiao Wei takes Ai Xiyan to her own small cottage and tidies up.

  "Xiao Wei, as a domestic helper, you have your own room, not bad, huh? When I first went to the Yin's house, I was sharing a room with two other helpers. But your room is quite simple, no air conditioner and no heater."

  "I'm not very afraid of the heat, it's okay without air conditioning, I don't like heaters that much, they make me feel stuffy." As she mentioned the inconvenience of her own room, Xiaowei secretly hoped that Aixi would not want to switch, but it seemed she didn't have that intention.

  Knock knock knock. Before the people inside could respond, Auntie opened the door and entered, seeing someone else there, she slightly nodded her head and beckoned to Xiaowei to come out.

  After closing the door, Auntie pulled Xiao Wei aside and worriedly asked: "The matter of switching maids, why didn't you tell me?!"

  "The young master only made this request today, and the young master has already agreed." Little Wei was helpless, how did she know that Yin Teng Ye would make such a request.

  "The lady just found out about this and wasn't too pleased. She doesn't like the young master making random bets or promises with others. You should have told me about the young master's betting at the time."

  "What does the lady mean now?" Little Wei suddenly felt a glimmer of hope, perhaps the lady wouldn't allow it.

  "The lady said that previously, our family and the Yin family had business dealings, since the young master has already agreed, we cannot lose credibility, so I agree to the exchange during the winter break, just as a way for both families to communicate about managing their servants."

  Auntie stroked her head, with a look of reluctance in her eyes, and more worry, fearing that Little Wei would cause trouble for others when she went to another family.

  Xiao Wei looked at her mother's eyes and nodded obediently. Things had come to this point, and no matter how much she thought about it, it was useless.

  With her packed suitcase in hand, Xiaowei reluctantly walked out of her small house, waving goodbye to Aixiayan who was already eager to move in. With a forced smile on her face, she headed towards the main gate of the residence.

  She glanced back at the entire Xiu family, but couldn't see that familiar figure. Not even when she was about to leave did Young Master come out to bid her farewell. It seemed that Young Master wasn't too concerned about exchanging maids after all.

  "Xiao Wei, when you're in someone else's home, be sure to pay attention and avoid saying or doing things that you shouldn't. Do you understand? Even though Ai Xiyuan is a bit higher up as a maid in the Yin household, she's still just a maid - remember your place."

  Auntie held Xiangwei's face in her hands, speaking with a heavy heart and deep emotions, her eyes filled with many unspoken words.

  "I'll be careful, that... I'm going." Xiaowei held back her tears and got into the car sent by the Yin family to pick her up. She kept looking at her mom waving goodbye until she was out of sight.

  Sitting in the quiet car, silent tears fell from her eyes, taking with her all her reluctance.

  This was the first time she had been separated from Auntie Zhu since childhood, and although she had thought that one day when she found her own mother, she would also be separated from Auntie Zhu, but she hadn't expected that being separated would make her feel so sad.

  The warm flower tea had cooled down. Madame Xi sat on the chair beside the bed, gazing into the distance with her beloved son by her side.

  "Next time you do something, pay attention to your identity and consider the consequences. You are the only child of the Xiu family and will inherit everything in the future. Your behavior determines how others view you."

  "It is, there won't be a next time." Xiu Ye Chen slightly lowered his head, his hazy eyes seemed to hide many emotions, making it hard for people to grasp.

  "Go rest." Ji Zhi waved her hand lightly, her expression looking very serious, lacking the usual warmth and gentleness.

  Xiu Yu Chen bowed respectfully and backed out of his mother's room. The only ones left in the room were Ji Zhu and the stiff air that was affected by the solemn atmosphere.

  Ji Zhi gazed out the window, her eyes distant and unfathomable. After a while, she picked up the phone beside her, dialed a number, and when it connected, she spoke softly.

  "How's it going? Has there been any news about Xiaowei's biological mother?"

  "Not for the time being, there are just too many people abandoning babies, and a lot of them are similar cases, so I'm afraid it will take some more time."

  "Really? Take your time then. I'm quite curious to know what Xiaowei's biological mother is like now. If we find her, Xiaowei should be very happy."

  "Yes, ma'am, we will do our best to find it."

  Ji Zhi slowly withdrew her gaze, lowered her eyes, and let out a soft sigh. Some things can't be accomplished just by thinking about them.

  Upon arrival at the Yin residence, Xiao Wei saw that Mu Guan's wife was already waiting for them. Mu Guan's wife looked as radiant and elegant as ever, with a poised demeanor and refined smile.

  "Welcome, Miss. Welcome to the Yin's residence. I'll take you on a tour of the house now and then show you to your room. Please follow me."

  "Thank you, Mu Guanjia, where is Young Master Yin?" Looking around, there was no one in sight.

  "The young master has gone to practice dancing and will return before dinner, so please rest assured, Miss. If you need anything, just let me know or instruct them to do it." Mu Guan raised his hand, and Xiao Wei saw the four maids waiting on standby.
