Hearing someone enter, Jiang Nuan came back to her senses. Seeing the two maids mentioned by Mu Jiuchen, she said, "I don't need you here. Take the meal boxes and go back."
Li Wan came back to her senses, lowered her head, and said in a somewhat aggressive tone, "Miss Jiang, you don't need us, but the young master does. We were sent by the Ninth Master to serve the young master."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Nuan's expression changed. "Do you think I won't take better care of my son than you? Get out before I lose my temper!"
Jiang Nuan spoke without hesitation.
Didn't Mu Jiuchen promise her that such a thing wouldn't happen again?
Why did it happen again so soon after he left?
"I'm sorry, Miss Jiang, but we cannot leave." Li Wan had investigated Jiang Nuan's identity outside earlier. A discarded woman, by what means did she scheme against the Ninth Master?
What right did she have to be by the Ninth Master's side? She had watched the Ninth Master grow up; there had never been a woman in his life.
Jiang Nuan knew that these people looked down on her. Mu Jiuchen was from a top affluent family, and these maids were just as snobbish and looked down on others.
"You can stay outside and wait if you don't want to leave." Jiang Nuan's face was extremely displeased. Why were all the people around this scoundrel Mu Jiuchen like this?
"Miss Jiang, please call us anytime if you need anything. If the young master wakes up, please let us know," Li Wan ordered Jiang Nuan in a commanding tone.
Jiang Nuan sneered, "Who do you think you are, speaking to me in such a tone? What does it have to do with you if my son wakes up? Get out!"
Jiang Nuan was furious, extremely angry. What was this all about? Did she seem superior to her?
Li Wan heard the word "get out" twice in a row and, having been yelled at by Mu Jiuchen earlier, all her pent-up anger surged. "Miss Jiang, allow me to remind you, the Ninth Master does not like shrewish women like you. You'd better lower your stance a bit. A woman like you has no right to have children for the Ninth Master."
After speaking, Li Wan turned and left.
Li Qin also quickly followed her out.
Jiang Nuan was so angry her body trembled. In the future, she would definitely maintain a distance from Mu Jiuchen.
As Li Wan and Li Qin exited, they saw Li Qing Shuo standing at the doorway with a somber expression.
Li Wan's face turned pale, and she quickly lowered her head, calling out, "Young Master Li."
Li Qing Shuo said angrily, "Li Wan, are you relying on being the housekeeper's daughter, thinking Mu Jiuchen won't dare to do anything to you? A mere servant, acting so presumptuously in front of the master, you're quite something."
"Who is this Jiang Nuan? Your Ninth Master's life is hers, Mu Jiuchen cherishes her above all else, giving all his tenderness to her. How dare you challenge your future madam like this? And you say she's not qualified? A woman with a face full of schemes to marry Mu Jiuchen, do you have the right?"
Li Wan couldn't help but retort, "Young Master Li, you know Jiang Nuan's background. How can she be worthy?"
"She's not worthy, but you are? Do you think I can't see through your little schemes?"
"With your looks and your humble attitude, you only dare to act tough towards those you consider beneath you. Jiang Nuan is a thousand times more capable than you imagine. In what way is she not worthy? Tell me?" Li Qing Shuo leaned against the doorframe, looking at Li Wan with an evil smile.
Li Wan never dreamed that Li Qing Shuo would be staying in the next ward. She was very nervous, lowering her head and not daring to breathe loudly.
Li Qing Shuo looked at her with extreme disgust. "Even a white lotus can only argue a few words, but you, lowering your head like this, putting on a wronged expression, do you think others will sympathize with you?"
"Look at yourself, what kind of trash you are, and you dare to look down on others." Li Qing Shuo turned to leave.
Li Wan quickly knelt down, begging, "Young Master Li, I'll go in and apologize now. Please don't tell the Ninth Master about this."
Li Qing Shuo slowly turned back to look at her, his face very displeased. "Someone like you, who thinks so highly of yourself, would actually apologize?"
Li Wan's face grew even more unsightly.
She didn't want to apologize to Jiang Nuan, but she desperately didn't want to be driven away.
She just wanted to stay by Mu Jiuchen's side. Others had to rack their brains to see him, but she could see him every day. How fortunate was that? How could she bear to leave?
Li Qing Shuo also knew very well that people like her wouldn't change easily.
Jiang Nuan was excellent; this was the result of his investigation.
"Li Wan, it's too late for you to apologize now. Given Jiang Nuan's personality, even your Ninth Master has to give her three points of consideration. How dare you give her a cold shoulder? Just stay here. Your actions have directly damaged the relationship between Jiang Nuan and Young Master Jiu."
"Two days ago, there were two maids with the same idea as you. Your mother knows best where they ended up. Also, Jiang Nuan is not what the rumors outside say. Although she is an abandoned daughter of the Jiang family, she is outstanding in every way. You are someone who doesn't even deserve to carry her shoes."
Li Qing Shuo became more and more indignant the more he thought about it, thoroughly disliking such snobbish servants.
Whether they were servants, white-collar workers, or CEOs, everyone ate white rice. Putting on such a pretentious face was simply disgusting.
After speaking, Li Qing Shuo returned to the ward with a displeased expression.
Looking at the empty ward, he felt very upset, extremely upset. The incident just now brought back some unpleasant memories.
His mother had a humble background, and his grandmother was snobbish. When he was five or six years old, he suffered the same treatment.
His mother also lived under the disdainful gaze of the servants every day.
One day, he finally couldn't take it anymore, had a big argument with his father, and asked his father. Those servants were also present.
"Dad, what do you and Mom count for in this house? Why do the servants in the house give me and Mom dirty looks? Just because my mom's family background is not good?"
"But the conditions of the servants here, which family's are better than my mom's? In terms of talent, interpersonal skills, and practical ability, who is better than my mom?"
He was very angry that day, shouting at his father hysterically.
His grandmother stood at the top of the stairs watching everything.
But she still looked down on him with arrogance.
She said one sentence that he would never forget.
"Poor is poor, and in this world, poverty is a sin!"
His grandmother had told him this, that being poor was a sin.
Li Qing Shuo threw himself heavily onto the bed, unwilling to recall the past, and even more unwilling to see his elderly grandmother.
He also didn't want to see his mother, who always appeared so humble.
It was only after he returned to the country that he stayed at Mu Jiuchen's house. His mother's urging to get married was one aspect, and avoiding his overbearing grandmother was another.
In the future, if he had his own children, he would never be like his father and grandmother. No matter what kind of person the other party was, as long as he liked her, he would definitely put in one hundred percent of his sincerity to pamper her, protect her, cherish her, and care for her.
"Whoosh..." Li Qing Shuo's emotions fluctuated greatly, and the place he had kicked suddenly began to ache.
It hurt intensely!
But he didn't want to call for a doctor.
Sheng Huan had already been sent out to buy things by him.
He slowly sat up, bent over, holding his stomach, and went to the adjacent ward.
Li Wan was trying to figure out how to resolve the recent incident when she saw Li Qing Shuo walk out, his face pale.
