Chapter 20: Breakfast
When Steward Liu heard this, he hurriedly stopped: "Miss Ye, I'll arrange other jobs for you later, you ......"
"Let her speak!"
Now that the young master has spoken, Steward Liu didn't dare to say more, but secretly shook his head in his heart, in this way, I am afraid that Ye Xiaojing's work is completely hopeless.
Looking at the other side and returning to a cold face, Ye Xiaojing couldn't help but shake her head and said to him: "Young master, although I don't know if there is any misunderstanding between you and your grandmother, her concern for you is something that even I, an outsider, can feel. Your grandmother knows that you like to eat handscrolls, and even if you forget to bring money, she will buy them back for you on credit. This kind of thing should be a shame in the eyes of rich people like you, right?
"As for humiliating you with someone with a leg problem, that's even more of a misunderstanding. Although you have broken your leg now, it is only temporary, and I am not! ”
Hearing this, he couldn't help but glance up at Ye Xiaojing, only to see that the other party's face was indifferent.
Ye Xiaojing continued: "The old lady will hire me, maybe it's just because she feels that she owes me a favor because of the purchase of the handscroll, and you just need someone to take care of it, there is really no other meaning."
"I say this, I just don't want you to misunderstand the old lady, you can quit me, but please don't be angry with the old lady because of me, because she really cares about you."
"Young Master, just like Miss Ye said just now, the old lady has always cared about you." Sister-in-law Zhang had already finished cleaning up the porcelain fragments on the ground, looked at the silent young master, and couldn't help but persuade.
"Shut up, clean up and get out!"
Steward Liu and Sister-in-law Zhang glanced at each other, sighed helplessly, and the three of them had to retreat quietly.
In the early morning of the next day, Ye Xiaojing said goodbye to everyone with her luggage, although Steward Liu repeatedly said that she could arrange other jobs for her, Ye Xiaojing politely declined his kindness.
Steward Liu was helpless, so he had to say: "Since Miss Ye, you insist, then I will no longer be strong." It's far from the bus station, you wait here for a while, I'll ask the driver to give you a ride. ”
"Then I'm sorry for you!"
"Oh, I said Miss Ye, it's still early, why be in such a hurry! Come on, come on, eat breakfast. Sister-in-law Zhou, who was in charge of the kitchen, brought a bowl of porridge and two poached eggs and put them in front of Ye Xiaojing.
couldn't bear to brush off the kindness of others, Ye Xiaojing had to sit down, just after eating a few bites, I saw Sister-in-law Zhang hurriedly walked in, and when she saw Ye Xiaojing, she was immediately relieved.
"It's wonderful! When I met Xiaohui outside just now, I thought Miss Ye was gone! ”
Ye Xiaojing couldn't help asking, "Sister-in-law Zhang, are you looking for me?" ”
Sister-in-law Zhang said: "It's the young master-"
"Huh?! Young master, what does he want to do? Before Sister-in-law Zhang finished speaking, Sister-in-law Zhou had already screamed in a fuss.
Ye Xiaojing was also taken aback, she was leaving, why was he looking for her so early?
Sister-in-law Zhang said to Ye Xiaojing with a smile: "The young master said, I want to eat seafood handrolls for breakfast, Miss Ye, when you are ready, hurry up and send it to the young master!" ”
Hearing this, Sister-in-law Zhou couldn't help but open her loud voice again: "Ah! Young master, what's wrong with him? Didn't you say you didn't want Miss Ye to take care of him? ”
Sister-in-law Zhang glanced at her, looked at Ye Xiaojing, who was still stunned, and urged: "Miss Ye, move faster, the young master will be angry again when it's late." ”
"Oh, good!" After receiving the materials handed over by everyone, Ye Xiaojing quickly made two handscrolls.
Looking at the tray handed over by Sister-in-law Zhang, Ye Xiaojing said in embarrassment: "Sister-in-law Zhang, do you have to let me go?" ”
"The young master said that you should send it in person, you better go quickly!"
Pushing open the door, Ye Xiaojing saw a lonely figure sitting on a chair by the window with her back to her, the early morning sun shining in, illuminating the scene of the sitting figure like an oil painting.
Putting the dinner plate on the table, Ye Xiaojing thought about it, and still shouted: "Young master, your breakfast!" ”
The man turned around when he heard the voice, looked at her, and said, "Bring it here!" ”
In addition to two seafood rolls, there is also a poached egg, a vegetable salad and a glass of milk.
After reading it, he frowned and said, "Aren't there already vegetables in the hand roll, why is there a salad?" He poked the poached egg with his fork again, and said dissatisfiedly, "Why is this egg so old boiled, and can it still be eaten?" Also, I don't like milk, so change me a cup of coffee! ”
Ye Xiaojing couldn't help but say: "But drinking coffee on an empty stomach is not good for the stomach!" ”
"I said I don't drink milk, don't you understand? Take all of this and get a new one! ”
Ye Xiaojing secretly stuck out her tongue, so she had to take all those things downstairs, and put a new one in front of him: "Young master, the eggs are fried very tender this time." ”
"And what is this? Didn't I tell you to make coffee, you're deaf, aren't you?! Holding a full glass of orange liquid in front of Ye Xiaojing, there was obvious anger on her handsome face.
Ye Xiaojing was very worried about whether he would suddenly pour the juice on her head, she stared closely at the hand holding the juice, and explained inarticulately: "That's the case, the sea roll with the hand juice tastes the best, ah, I mean, the sea hand and the fruit roll, uh no-"
With a slight sneer, the hand finally retracted, and Ye Xiaojing was relieved, and was even more relieved to see that he had finally started to eat.
After eating breakfast, Ye Xiaojing was about to go out with a plate, but she heard the young master say, "Wait for a cup of coffee." ”
Ye Xiaojing said with a serious expression: "Coffee is not good for bone growth, young master, your legs are not good, let's restrain a little during this time." ”
"You—" A slight anger flashed across his face, but this time he didn't attack.
After thinking about it, he asked again, "What's the matter with your legs?" ”
"I had a car accident when I was a kid, and then my bones didn't grow." Ye Xiaojing said lightly.
"Can't it be cured?"
"Maybe."
"That's—"
Facing his puzzled eyes, Ye Xiaojing smiled bitterly and said, "Compared with treatment, for me, survival is more important at present. But as long as I live, there's hope, isn't it? ”
This answer was exchanged for a sneer: "You can think about it." ”
"Because even if I can't open it, it's useless, so it's better to open it a little!"
Over the past week, Ye Xiaojing has gradually adapted to her new job, and through conversations with other servants, she has also gained a general understanding of the working environment.
The family she served in turned out to be the owners of the famous Cheng Group.
Because the lord and the wife have both passed away, and the only heir of the Cheng group, Cheng Qixin, that is, the young master of the family, has also been sick, so the current Cheng family is taken care of by Mrs. Cheng alone.
It's just that Mrs. Cheng is getting old and is becoming more and more powerless about management, so if Cheng Qixin has been unable to govern, then Cheng's Group will be in danger of being swallowed up by other consortiums.
