Chapter 22: Unwelcome Gifts
I was surprised and delighted to see the butler's sudden appearance. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
I walked up to the butler and excitedly asked, "Why are you here?" Long Shao asked you to come? ”
"Young Master...... The young master didn't know that I was here......" The housekeeper spoke heavily, as if he was afraid that Long Shao would know that he was coming to my house.
"Young Master doesn't know? That...... Then why did you come to my house?
"I ......" I saw that he wanted to speak and stopped, beat his chest hard, and then squatted on the ground and sobbed.
I was just about to come forward to care, but suddenly my mother strode up to me like crazy, and slammed the door with a "bang" on me, not caring at all about the butler's feelings, as if she was sincerely spreading her resentment on him.
When my mother entered the house, she threw her things down, and sat on the sofa in a fit of rage, not wanting to say a word. Seeing her react so much, I was also a little scared.
Looking out the window, I saw that the butler was still standing in place. As soon as there was a slight movement under my feet, my mother shouted and retracted: "In the future, I will not allow you to see this man." ”
I was puzzled: "I know you're angry about this, but he's just a housekeeper after all, and there's no reason for you to treat him like this!" ”
"Butler? Do you know him? ”
"Recognize ...... Yes. I blinked quickly, what kind of trick is this trick from Mom? Are you trying to trick me? Or do you want to ask knowingly?
"How did you know him? Whose housekeeper did you just say that man? Mom pointed out the window, then patted her forehead again, and said, "I remember, who did you say you ended up with?" Is it the boss you met at the entrance of the mall? ”
Hearing this, I realized that my mother didn't know about me and Long Shao, but she knew the male housekeeper.
"The boss I met at the door of the mall was not a boss, he was my classmate, and the man standing outside was the housekeeper of my classmate. Mom, do you know that housekeeper? "I swept my mother's unusualness with my peripheral vision.
"Huh!" Mom sneered, "How could I know that kind of man." Also, I'll tell you again, I don't care what happened between you and your classmates, in short, I don't want you to have anything to do with their family anymore! Hear no! After saying that, my mother slammed the door and went back to her room.
This is the first time I've seen her angry, and it's not because of me.
When I looked out the window again, it was empty.
Later, my mother never talked to me about what happened that day, and I didn't dare to ask.
Since the hasty appearance of the male housekeeper, there are always people who send things to the house every once in a while, from luxury goods to daily necessities, which can be said to be everything, and the signatories are all the names of the mother, which makes me very puzzled, and every time I sign the signature, can I not see the signature, is the mother dating someone else? Even if you are dating, you don't have to be so extravagant and wasteful, it's too considerate.
It took me a few days to conclude that my mother was not dating anyone else, and when she saw these anonymous gifts, she didn't feel happy, but seemed to have a grudge against them, not only ignored them, but simply threw some things out.
As for my mother's abnormal behavior during this time, my intuition tells me that it must have something to do with the housekeeper. It's a pity that my relationship with Long Shao is in an extraordinary period, otherwise I would have been able to question the butler in a grand manner.
On a sunny morning, I was suddenly woken up by the sound of a whistle outside. When I went out, I saw a brand new car parked in front of my eyes. After seeing me come out, a person slowly got out of the car, it was the butler, and I saw him come to me with a shy smile on his cheeks. Even though I knew that the reason why he came here was definitely not because of Long Shao, I still had a glimmer of hope and asked more: "Did Long Shao let you come?" ”
"Miss Arnold, the young master didn't know I was here."
Although the answer has been guessed, the stubborn temper has to be heard in real time, and it seems that there is a reason to be sad when it enters the ear.
Apparently I was already displeased: "Then what are you here for so many times?"
Hearing that my tone was too direct, the butler's head was silently lowered, and he kept fiddling with the car keys in his hand, refusing to speak.
"If you don't tell me, I'll go inside."
"Miss Arnold, I know you wish the young master had asked me to come. However, please keep it a secret for me, the young master doesn't know anything about it. After the housekeeper finished speaking, he slowly handed the car key to my hand: "This is my heart, please tell your mother......"
Before the butler finished speaking, I threw the key back into the butler's hand without thinking about it: "If there is anything you should tell her, I don't dare to accept it rashly, besides, your gift is too valuable." ”
"It's not expensive, it's not expensive, it's just a little bit of my heart. In the future, if there is a need for me in my life, please Miss Arnold must tell me that I ...... I will do everything I can to help you. After saying that, the housekeeper tried to stuff the car keys into me again, but the car keys were not in my hands, and halfway through, I forcibly pushed the butler's arm back.
"You better just tell my mom, this...... I really can't be the master. ”
Seeing my resolute attitude, the housekeeper didn't want to continue to embarrass me. But he lowered his head and said to me, "Your mother will definitely not accept it." ”
"Housekeeper, do you know my mother?"
"I've been friends with your mom for years."
"Then you gave you all the gifts for the past few days?"
"Yes."
"And how long have you known my mom?"
"It's been more than twenty years."
The housekeeper's eloquence really surprised me, Long Shao's housekeeper and my mother are actually old friends for more than 20 years, it seems that I can't do without Long Shao's shadow wherever I go.
"Is there some misunderstanding between you and my mother, since they have been old friends for so many years, why does she react so abnormally when she sees those gifts? Either throw it in the trash or pretend not to see it. ”
When I mentioned my mother's abnormal behavior, the housekeeper did not feel surprised at all, but sighed calmly: "After so many years, your mother still has that temper." ”
Then the butler tried to hand me the key again, and said, "Arno, I will leave this matter to you, I ...... I didn't dare give it to her face. ”
What did the housekeeper mean by this, why didn't he dare to face his mother, what misunderstanding had there been between them that couldn't be resolved for more than 20 years?
As the butler was about to leave in the car, I suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly ran to the butler, who pulled down the window and asked, "Miss Arnold, is there anything else?" ”
"I want to ask you one thing, since you and my mother have known each other for more than twenty years, do you know who my father is?"
He paused for a few seconds and said, "I'm sorry, I really don't know yet." ”
From his determined eyes, I didn't see a pretense of deception, but this answer made me a little disappointed.
