Chapter 22: Estrangement

The maid's face instantly turned pale, her steps were vain, and her whole person seemed to be drained of all her strength and staggered.

was slapped one after another, Ye Qingqing's heart was already holding back a fire, and she glared at it angrily, but found that Ye Ruochuan's eyes were even more fierce than her, and when she thought that she was still wearing the clothes she took from her cloakroom, her heart suddenly became empty.

"Ye Qingqing, where is my jade pendant? Give it back to me. Ye Ruochuan tilted his chin and looked at her condescendingly, "I have always been generous, I don't have to worry about other things, but you can't touch Yu Pei." ”

Ye Qingqing bit her lower lip lightly, and subconsciously wanted to shake her head to deny it.

"Don't tell me you didn't take it, how much did you take all the things in my house? Even the white dress on your body is mine......" Ye Ruochuan glanced at her with disdain.

"Miss? What happened? Lin Qifeng hurried to the scene and asked breathlessly.

Ye Ruochuan turned his head to look: "Ah, didn't Uncle Lin say that you went out, and you will come back so soon." ”

Lin Qifeng is Uncle Lin's child and the next housekeeper of the Ye family, and now Uncle Lin has handed over many things to him to take care of.

"Well, Miss finally went home, so I naturally have to rush back." Lin Qifeng smiled innocently, and then his eyes fell on the trembling maid in the corner, "Miss just said that she was going to fire this person?" ”

Ye Ruochuan nodded, summed up what happened just now in a few words, and the smile on Lin Qifeng's face gradually disappeared, replaced by an iceberg of indifference.

"Hong Ying, I announce that you have been officially dismissed as the housekeeper of the Ye family, and this month's salary will be paid to you in advance, in the future, no, please leave here now."

"Steward Lin...... I ......"

Hong Ying wanted to say something to defend herself, but was ruthlessly interrupted by Lin Qifeng: "For the sake of Miss, I will give you half an hour to pack your luggage and leave the Ye family, if you stay longer, don't blame me for calling the guards." ”

After solving the maid, Lin Qifeng put his eyes on Ye Qingqing again, paused and said, "Miss Qingqing, you should go and change your clothes quickly when you are drenched in the rain, I will call someone to bring a bowl of ginger soup later, and by the way, restore all the things that belong to the young lady." ”

Ye Qingqing looked at Ye Ruochuan quite proudly at first, as if she was saying that she also had someone to support her, but when she got to the back, her expression stiffened on her face, ashamed and annoyed.

Lin Qifeng obviously didn't care about her rich inner changes, and was sincerely apologizing to Ye Ruochuan.

"It was my dereliction of duty that caused this to happen, I'm really sorry, it won't happen again." Lin Qifeng paused, his eyes fell on Ye Qingqing's somewhat wrinkled skirt, and he said regretfully, "This white dress is specially designed by a well-known designer for young lady, and the clothing is special, and it will be destroyed when it rains." ”

Ye Ruochuan didn't care: "It was originally a dress that I didn't want, but if it is destroyed, it will be ruined, it's not a big deal." Don't blame yourself too much, it's none of your business. ”

Clothes you don't want? Ye Qingqing was angry, Ye Ruochuan said that he didn't care, he was still humiliating her in a roundabout way. I took the clothes she didn't want to wear, but I was scolding her for being a beggar?

Ye Qingqing's room soon flooded into a group of servants, one by one in and out, and under Ye Ruochuan's instructions, put the things that belonged to her back into her room.

And Ye Qingqing, the real owner of this room, could only be squeezed aside and watched this scene speechlessly, her eyes were dark, and she walked out of the room with her head bowed with her arms folded.

"Here, drink it quickly, even in summer, you have to be careful not to catch a cold." Lin Qifeng handed over a bowl of ginger soup, the temperature was just right, not hot or cold.

Seeing Ye Qingqing obediently stretched out her hand to take it, Lin Qifeng breathed a sigh of relief, there should be no problem now, although he has a certain right to speak in the Ye family, but in terms of identity, he is just a servant, and even a housekeeper who has not really taken office, and he can't afford to offend either of the two young ladies.

Ye Qingqing was holding the bowl in both hands, her long hair hanging down so that people couldn't see her expression clearly, but she never drank the ginger soup, Lin Qifeng found out, and just wanted to open her mouth to remind, but saw two tears falling from the ginger soup.

Lin Qifeng: No, no, no, no.

Ye Qingqing's shoulders trembled slightly, as if she was trying to restrain herself, and cried quietly.

"Miss Qingqing......" Lin Qifeng learned countless housekeeping knowledge from his father, but he didn't learn how to comfort a woman in tears, so he could only stand there helplessly, and finally suddenly took a square handkerchief out of his pocket.

"I ...... I didn't mean to take my sister's stuff. Ye Qingqing was not polite, and after taking it, she gently wiped away the tears on her face, and scolded Lin Qifeng in her heart for not going to the Tao, shouldn't she help her personally.

Lin Qifeng said bluntly: "But you did take it." ”

Ye Qingqing was suffocated for a moment, and suddenly felt that she couldn't talk anymore this day, but she forgot that Lin Qifeng was not only meticulous in his work, but he was a little lacking in personality.

"My sister has already married into the Bai family, so I just borrowed it, but I didn't expect my sister to misunderstand me......" Ye Qingqing stood up excitedly, but when she got up, her feet suddenly fell and fell towards Lin Qifeng's arms.

If Lin Qifeng didn't hold her, then Ye Qingqing would definitely fall to the ground, and if he was injured at that time, he couldn't afford it, Ye Qingqing just blocked this, so he deliberately pretended to fall.

Ye Qingqing's guess was true, Lin Qifeng did not let her get hurt, but he did not let her succeed and really fell into his arms, his palms firmly supported his arms leaning forward, and when she stood firmly, he immediately let go of his hands.

Ye Qingqing: "......" Why did he react so quickly! But it doesn't matter, although it is a little different, but it can achieve the result.

It's just that before she could speak, Lin Qifeng first wondered: "Miss Qingqing, why are you tripping yourself with your feet?" ”

The thanks brewing in Ye Qingqing's mouth suddenly went up and down in his throat, and he saw it?

"I ...... I just want to keep something, can I not move them all? Ye Qingqing opened her mouth timidly, her eyes were red, and she raised her head and looked at Lin Qifeng cautiously.

Ye Qingqing saw that Lin Qifeng did not immediately object, and secretly rejoiced in her heart, and her delicate body slowly leaned towards his arms, but Lin Qifeng suddenly dodged away.

"Those are the property of the young lady, and it is up to the young lady to stay or leave. Miss is easy-going and generous, if Miss Qingqing really likes it, she will definitely cut her love. Lynch said solemnly.

As soon as Ye Ruochuan stepped out of the door, he heard someone next to him say, "...... There's no need to ...... Please also respect yourself. ”

Turning her head to look, it was Lin Qifeng who was speaking, and it was Ye Qingqing who was facing away from her, she raised her eyebrows, okay, it seems that she missed a good show again.

In just three words, Ye Qingqing felt that she had suffered a huge humiliation, her face turned red, and she opened her lips and teeth to explain herself, but she saw Lin Qifeng looking behind her: "Miss, have you found something?" ”

"Yes, I found it." Ye Ruochuan nodded, clenching the slightly cool jade pendant in his hand, "It's not too early, I still have to go back to the Bai family, you ...... Go on. ”

The meaningful words still echoed in the air with a slightly strange atmosphere, and Ye Ruochuan turned straight away.

Lin Qifeng hurriedly chased after him: "Miss, I'll send you back." ”

A black Bentley slowly drove out of Ye's house and blended into the traffic, at this time it was the rush hour after work, the traffic jam on the road was very serious, and it was blocked on the road within a few minutes.

Lin Qifeng raised his eyes and glanced at Ye Ruochuan in the rearview mirror, and found that she was looking at the jade pendant in her hand in a daze, from the time she got into the car to now, she has always been in this position.

"Miss, although the traffic jam on this road is not as serious as others, you may have to wait for more than half an hour." Lin Qifeng reminded.

Ye Ruochuan came back to his senses, took his gaze away from the jade pendant, raised his head and smiled softly: "It's okay, I'm not in a hurry." ”

Lin Qifeng noticed the gloom flashing in her eyes, was silent for a while, and then said, "Miss, that jade pendant must be very important to you." ”

Not only did he come back to the Ye family, but he even tore his face with Ye Qingqing for the sake of the jade pendant, but now that he has brought it back, he has been staring at it all the time, as if he will disappear if he lets go of his hand.

Speaking of the jade pendant, Ye Ruochuan couldn't help but feel a little sad on his face: "It's really important, I can't help but think of that time when I look at it......"

The jade pendant was accidentally dragged off by Ye Ruochuan from his life-saving benefactor before he fell into a coma, and as a clue to find his life-saving benefactor, it is naturally important. It's just that so many years have passed, even if there is a big explosion of information now, looking for someone with just a piece of jade pendant that has no characteristics except for the good light and color of the water head is tantamount to. Look for a needle in a haystack.

In front of the gate of the Bai family, Ye Ruochuan smiled at Yan Yan: "Thank you today, you are helping me find a jade pendant and sending me home, it's too troublesome for you." ”

Lin Qifeng shook his head: "It's my honor to be able to help Miss." ”

"Don't say that, if you hadn't come forward, then Ye Qingqing might not have been able to behave ......"

Ye Ruochuan said, Yu Guang suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure, and looked at it, Bai Jingshen was standing not far away staring at Lin Qifeng with an unhappy face, his heart jumped, this is not the first time he has seen his black face, the last time Mu Chenfeng came to the Bai family...... Wait, is he jealous?

"Depth of field, you won't be angry with my housekeeper, right?" Ye Ruochuan rushed forward and said in surprise.

Bai Jingshen's face really eased a little, and teased: "Your Ye family's housekeeper can take on heavy responsibilities at a young age. ”

"Oh, I haven't really taken office yet, don't be angry, I just thank him for sending me back."

Ye Ruochuan apologized and coquettish, Bai Jingshen was really defeated, obviously the coldness in his eyes had already melted into a pool of spring water, but he felt that her appearance of pleasing herself was too cute, and she deliberately waited for her to "coax" herself with a straight face.

Seeing that the two were talking and laughing, Lin Qifeng left quietly, seeing that the atmosphere was becoming more and more ambiguous, a hearty female voice appeared suddenly: "Depth of field, how about you come and take a look at these sets of clothes I picked?" ”
