Chapter 93: Sometimes the heart can't be too soft

  "Xiao Wei, my dear daughter." As soon as the door opened, Zhu Shu saw Xiao Wei and immediately rushed over to hug her own daughter, with a happy smile overflowing on her face. During these days when Xiao Wei was not at home, Zhu Shu had been worried to death.

  "Mom, I'm back." She also held tightly, Xiaowei felt her eyes were about to well up with tears again.

  "These days have been okay, haven't caused any trouble for others, and they haven't given you a hard time either." Zhu Ling stroked Xiao Wei's face, gazing at her daughter, reluctant to shift her gaze.

  Xiao Wei shook her head, still smiling: "They're very good to me, they're all very kind, Mom, don't worry. By the way, Mom, why did you drive Hai Lin out of the house? What happened between her and Ai Xiyuan?"

  "This...," she paused, Aunt Zhu closed the door and pulled Xiao Wei down to sit, saying with a serious tone: "Xiao Wei, sometimes you can't be too soft-hearted, when it's time to fight back, you must fight back. We are just the servants of this household, the masters are still the masters, if they get unhappy for some reason, we will be the ones to suffer."

  "We want to live peacefully in this beautiful home, besides being honest and doing our own things, we also need to prevent some unfavorable factors. Gu Hai Lin has already started to be restless, even if you warn her, her restless heart may erupt at any time. If I don't get rid of her, who knows what she will do to you next? Before, your school uniform was torn by her, and you asked Jingwen to make a new one for you, did you think I didn't know?"

  "Oh? Mom, how did you know......" Xiaowei was surprised, she thought she had hidden it well.

  "You rushed out early in the morning to get your school uniform from Jingwen, and I saw it! The uniform she made for you is a bit different from the original Xiu Sheng's version, including the school emblem. Just because you can't tell doesn't mean I couldn't, and besides, even Young Master has noticed!"

  Zhū Líng's tone became more serious. Originally, she didn't want to say much about that incident, and it was enough to help Xiǎo Wēi cover it up. However, when they returned from school, the young master handed Zhū Líng Xiǎo Wēi's school badge and mentioned something about her uniform. Fortunately, the young master didn't say anything more.

  "What?! Young master has also figured it out! But young master didn't say anything." Struggling to recall, Xiaowei suddenly remembered that day when young master stared at her school badge for no reason and then took it away... Suddenly enlightened, she realized that young master had discovered that her uniform was fake, so he took away her school badge.

  "No wonder Young Master took away my school badge that day. Then, what is this school uniform I'm wearing now?"

  "I've already helped you change into it, but you're such a child. Something like this happens and you don't even tell me? The school uniform of Xiu Sheng is specially tailored, it represents Xiu Sheng. You just wear something that looks similar, it's not the same, it's disrespect to the school. And do you know how expensive the uniform is? Getting two sets made for you would use up my entire month's salary, and they're still summer uniforms."

  Auntie deliberately complained, pouting her mouth very cutely. She wasn't heartbroken about the money, she was heartbroken that her own daughter was bullied and didn't even know how to speak up for herself.

  "Ah!? School uniforms are that expensive?! Summer clothes are already this pricey, winter clothes must be even more expensive! Sorry mom, I was wrong."

  "Alright, I'm not being stingy with money, but I think you're sometimes too kind to others and not good enough to yourself. You can't have a heart that harms people, but you must have a mind that guards against them, do you understand? Your mom has been working hard at this house for so many years, and now she's become the female head of the household, it's not just simple effort that got her there, when you climb high, there will always be someone eyeing your position."

  Zhū Líng looked at Xiǎo Wēi seriously, hoping she could understand her words, and hoped that she would take good care of herself.

  Xiao Wei nodded and didn't say anything else. Things had come to this, and she could only apologize to Hai Lin. It seemed that in the future, there were many things she needed to learn in this household.

  During the New Year, most of the people in the Xiu family went home for vacation. Since Aunt Zhu had no relatives, Xiao Wei didn't need to go out and pay respects, so she followed her mother and focused on doing things for the Xiu family. No matter what she did, Xiao Wei was very enthusiastic because this year she could only be with her mother for three days, after which she would have to return to the Yin family's residence. Who knew that winter break hadn't ended yet?

  *Sigh*... Facing the living room glass, Xiaowei drew a heart on it with her breath. Looking at the gloomy weather outside the window, she let out a bored sigh. The mistress and young master had both gone out, leaving only her, her mother, and an older female servant in the house.

  "It's already the third day, so fast!" exclaimed Xiaowei as she just took out her phone from her pocket, and it rang immediately. The ringing sound was particularly loud in the empty room, and she quickly pressed the answer button to pick up the call.

  "Hello..." Wei lowered her voice subconsciously due to the loud ringing just now.

  "What are you doing, sneaking around like a thief with such a low voice? What are you up to?" Yin Tongye was very curious about what she was doing now, and why she was being so secretive, could it be in Xiu Zhenchen's room?!

  "I didn't do anything, I was just drawing hearts on the glass. Hehe..." Clearing her throat, she spoke in a normal tone, but just now it seemed like she was up to no good.

  "What? You weren't in Xiǎo Chén's room, were you?" The thought flashed through her mind and she blurted it out.

  "What? How could I possibly be in Young Master's room? I didn't get permission and it's not like I can just barge into his room."

  "That means if he allows it, you can just enter his room casually."

  "Oh no, it's not like that, okay? I'm not that casual." Little Wei suddenly became anxious and looked around, fortunately there was no one nearby, her mother and the older maid were both in the room warming up.

  "Who knows what you're thinking, always thinking about that bathroom repair guy. Who knows if one day you'll suddenly explode and pounce on him like a starving wolf. It's like the saying goes, 'a tyrant forcing his way up'. As she spoke, Yin Tongye started making funny faces, feeling uncomfortable in her heart. Just thinking about being in that house with that person made her feel very uneasy."

  Xiao Wei was exasperated by his words, stomped her foot and turned around, leaning against the glass with her back to him, saying hastily: "I won't!"

  "You say you won't, but do you really think so in your heart? What if you can't help but pounce on him, what then? It's too dangerous! Come to my place now!" He couldn't wait for her to come tomorrow anymore.

  "Huh? Didn't I say we're going tomorrow morning? Eh, why are you like this? And where's the danger? Young master isn't even home, what can you do?"

  As soon as she finished speaking, the other side immediately shouted excitedly: "You come to me now! Immediately, right now!"

  "Ah!" Little Wei suddenly jumped up, firmly refusing: "I won't!" She was so angry that she turned around to face the glass again, and the person standing outside the glass gave her a big fright, causing her to let out a sharp cry.
