Chapter 47: Helping Hands

The next day was the weekend, and Bai Cen had rushed to a case all night last night and got up a little later than usual.

After all, you don't have to go to work on weekends, so it's okay to sleep late.

Bai Cen woke up, walked to the window and opened the curtains, and was dazzled by the bright sun.

When she finished washing up and went downstairs, as soon as she walked to the dining room, Ah Rong, the maid invited by the family, took away the breakfast on the table.

Bai Cen thought that Ah Rong didn't know that she hadn't eaten breakfast yet, so she went to the kitchen to drink water disappreciatively, and reminded by the way: "Ah Rong, don't accept it yet, I haven't eaten breakfast yet." ”

But Ah Rong didn't seem to hear it, and when Bai Cen came out, the dining table was empty. And she was about to dump her breakfast with her plate.

Bai Cen frowned and reminded again, "Ah Rong, don't pour it yet, I haven't eaten breakfast yet." ”

Ah Rong's hand moved, raised her head, and her tone was a little harsh, "Madam, you got up too late, and the breakfast was already cold." ”

Bai Cen thought that she was a kind reminder and wanted to pour out the cold breakfast and make a new one for her, so he let go of his eyebrows and smiled, "It's okay, don't bother." ”

Ah Rong still poured it out after taking care of herself, and dragged out her voice sarcastically, "It's not troublesome, it's just poured out." Madame, please wake up early tomorrow morning. ”

Bai Cen finally felt the irony in her words, but it was true that she got up late, and she couldn't say anything.

"Then please make another one." Bai Cen did it in front of the table, etc.

"I'm sorry, ma'am, but I don't have time." Ah Rong held the plate and wiped the dirty things that didn't exist on the table, "I'm very busy, I'll wait a minute, sweep the floor, mop the floor, wipe the windows, and so on." ”

Isn't that her duty? Bai Cen didn't understand what she meant by this.

Ah Rong was still tirelessly saying, "Madam, you don't know the suffering of us as subordinates. We, without a good life like you, we can still sit and eat empty mountains if our limbs are not diligent, so we can only get up early every day and be greedy for darkness to earn a little hard-earned money. But it's okay, at least it's comfortable to use. ”

was poured bitter water inexplicably, Bai Cen felt funny and unbelievable, "Since you don't have time to make one, why do you have to pour out breakfast?" ”

Ah Rong said as a matter of course: "The birds that get up early have worms, but the birds that get up late don't." ”

What kind of fallacy is this? Does she deserve to have no breakfast? Or was she deliberately trying to dump her breakfast to make her hungry?

Bai Cen stepped forward and wanted to reason with her.

Ah Rong had already cleaned up, and without waiting for Bai Cen to speak, she walked straight to Bai Cen, and when she passed her, she stumbled under her feet, and the dinner plate smashed on Bai Cen's body, and then fell to the ground and shattered again.

The splattered debris slashed through Bai Cen's calf, leaving a bloody wound. Bai Cen took a step back, frowned, and snorted in pain.

Ah Rong's face was unapologetic, "Oh, I'm really embarrassed, I've done too much work today, and my hands are sore and I haven't held it steady." ”

Ah Rong squatted down to clean up the mess, "Look, if you fall like this, I don't know how much wages you have to deduct." There isn't much left, a little deduction here, a deduction there, life is really difficult. ”

This is as if the Lu family is an unscrupulous master who detains people.

Bai Cen's brows furrowed more and more, "What nonsense are you talking about?" ”

Ah Rong was stunned, "If only I had the life of an eldest lady like you, I don't have to do anything, I can eat and drink." ”

The yin and yang of the words are weird, and it is not easy to work, how did this political company recruit people?

Ah Rong stood up and flipped a silver slightly, "Let Jean, madam, good dogs don't get in the way." ”

"What about your professionalism? Is that how your housekeeping company trains people? Bai Cen looked at her and said coldly.

As soon as Bai Cen said a word, a person came down from upstairs, "That's good." ”

The voice was lazy, with a hint of the hoarseness that was characteristic of when I first woke up.

Bai Cen turned his head, it was Lu Shangyan, why was he at home?

Lu Shangyan went downstairs slowly and looked at Ah Rong, "You don't have to come again from today, get out." ”

With a fluttering word, Ah Rong's face turned pale, "Second Young Master, I ......"

"Get out." Lu Shangyan's tone was slightly heavier, but looking at Ah Rong's expression was still gentle, "Don't let me repeat it again." ”

Ah Rong "plopped" and knelt down, "No, my fault, Second Young Master, I can't lose this job." I also have a sick mother and two younger siblings at home, and the whole family is counting on me alone, and I can't go. ”

Lu Shangyan was impatient, plucked out his ears, and tilted his head disdainfully, "Noise." ”

"Butler!" Lu Shangyan shouted loudly, "Get this person out!" ”

Ah Rong was dragged away under the steward's pinch.

Bai Cen has been watching silently, although he feels that Ah Rong is a little pitiful, but he thinks that she is self-inflicted.

Even if you have a difficult family, you should not indulge in your own qualities like this.

At this time, Lu Shangyan finally looked at Bai Cen, and said twice, "Even a subordinate can bully you, and your lady is too aggrieved, right?" It's better to follow me, at least you don't have to be angry. ”

Bai Cen's expression was faint, and he consciously ignored the second half of the sentence, "It's not bullying." ”

Lu Shangyan glanced up and down at Bai Cen and pouted, "Isn't it bullying if you're injured?" Are you a gas bag? ”

Bai Cen realized that he was cut, raised his leg to look at it, and didn't take it to heart, "It's okay, it's a small injury." ”

Lu Shangyan shook his head again and again, "I don't care so much about my body, I can't help it." ”

Bai Cen was amused, her eyebrows raised slightly, "Thank you for helping me." ”

Lu Shangyan approached her, "Are you really not thinking about following me?" I can give you what my brother can give you, and more. ”

Bai Cen glanced at Lu Shangyan helplessly, "Don't be kidding." ”

"I'm serious." Lu Shangyan squatted down to check the injury on Bai Cen's leg, "My brother is a cripple, what can I give you?" ”

Bai Cen's face remained unchanged, and he took a step back to avoid his touch, "Don't say that. ”

Lu Shangyan didn't touch Bai Cen's legs, so he had to stop his hand and stand up and pinch Bai Cen's face, "I'm telling the truth." He can't even protect you, what's the good of following him? ”

Bai Cen turned his head to dodge again, "I don't need anyone to protect me." ”

Lu Shangyan was rejected again and again, his expression sank a little, and he directly grabbed Bai Cen and leaned up to her, close to her face, "Don't know what's wrong, it's your honor that I can take a fancy to you." ”

Bai Cen's face turned completely dark, "Lu Shangyan, let me go." ”

The two men looked at each other, silently arguing.

Bai Cen's expression became more and more tense, and Lu Shangyan could feel the contraction of the skin underneath through his clothes.

After a while, Lu Shangyan turned his head and sneered, let go of his hand, and sneered, "Look at your expression, this is scared?" You can't afford to joke about it. ”

Was it a joke?

Bai Cen's face was slightly relaxed, but he still didn't let down his vigilance, and stepped back a little, "Don't make such jokes, it's not funny." ”

"Got it." Lu Shangyan nodded indifferently, "I'd rather follow my brother than follow my idiot." ”
