Chapter 14: Just a stand-in
"Qingqing, I'm going back to class." Zhuo Nianqi glanced at his watch and said to Xu Yueqing: "I'll come to play with you again after the class!" β
"Okay, let's go." Xu Yueqing, like Zhuo Xiangyu, patted Zhuo Nianqi's head, and sure enough, she saw Zhuo Nianqi's smile a little brighter, and happily went to class.
Because of Zhuo Nianqi's super high IQ, Zhuo Xiangyu has always selected high-achieving students who graduated from prestigious schools around the world to give him lectures. Xu Yueqing had to admit that Zhuo Xiangyu was right when she said that she couldn't help Zhuo Nianqi in her schoolwork.
After all, she couldn't even read some of Zhuo Nianqi's course books.
"Let's bake another cake." Xu Yueqing cheered up and decided to do what she was good at, "Hey, run out of cream?" β
Interrupted by her love for desserts, Xu Yueqing reluctantly walked out of the kitchen, ready to find out where the cook or housekeeper was, and asked if there was any stored cream at home that could be used.
Today is the day of the maid's vacation, and the huge house has only found a few bodyguards and a gardener of the garrison, Xu Yueqing was about to give up the idea of baking a cake, when she found two people in maid's clothes talking at the end of the flower garden not far away.
"The reason why the young master brought that Teacher Xu back is too obvious, that is, that Teacher Xu himself doesn't know what's going on!" The tall maid said sarcastically.
Another short and fat maid said a little unacceptably: "If Teacher Xu knew about this kind of thing, he would definitely be sad in his heart, the young master and the little young master were so good to her, but they just used her as a substitute for Mrs., this kind of thing is really not good." β
The tall maid sighed, rolled her eyes at the short and fat maid, and said meanly: "What's wrong, the young master loves Mrs. so much, maybe this Teacher Xu will be the next Mrs. in the future, just because of his good life, he looks exactly like his wife, and he can enjoy the money and power of the Zhuo family, how happy is it?" β
Xu Yueqing didn't know how she left the flower garden, until she returned to the kitchen, she still felt that she was stunned.
It turned out that Zhuo Xiangyu would let her come to Zhuo's house because she looked exactly like his deceased wife?
"Actually, I already realized that something was wrong." Xu Yueqing shook her head and smiled bitterly, although Zhuo Xiangyu was covering up, he could still see that something was wrong in many things.
For example, since the first day she came here, Zhuo Xiangyu has always been able to prepare her favorite dishes without asking in advance, and the layout of her room is also her favorite style.
Even when it came to the way of educating Zhuo Nianqi, Zhuo Xiangyu began to gradually ask her about the practice and ask for advice.
Xu Yueqing thought that it was just because she was the tutor that Zhuo Xiangyu invited back to Zhuo Nianqi, but now that she thinks about it, she is so naΓ―ve.
How could anyone do that with a governess?
"Qingqing, aren't the cookies all right?" Zhuo Nianqi finished her French class, and when she ran down, she saw Xu Yueqing staring at the oven in a daze.
Xu Yueqing's eyelashes trembled, and she looked back at Zhuo Nianqi's sparkling eyes, and her heart softened.
"Okay, I'll take it out." She turned on the oven and looked at the matcha cookies that had been baked quite successfully, but she didn't have the same happiness in her heart as she usually did when she made desserts.
"Qingqing, be careful of hot hands!" Zhuo Nianqi saw that Xu Yueqing was about to serve the baking tray of matcha cookies without wearing heat-insulating gloves, and her voice was so frightened that her voice changed tone.
