"Miss Jiang, I only made a mistake that ordinary people make. Why are you unwilling to forgive me?" Li Wan couldn't help but cry. She really didn't want to leave Ninth Master.
She was beautiful and had potential.
Jiang Nuan said in a deep voice, "I'm sorry, I'm also an ordinary person, and I can choose not to forgive your ordinary mistake."
After speaking, Jiang Nuan turned to go inside.
Suddenly turning back, she bumped into someone.
"Ah..." By reflex, Jiang Nuan almost fell to the ground.
Mu Jiuchen quickly extended his strong arms and pulled her into his embrace.
Jiang Nuan touched her forehead, which was hurting from the bump, and was about to speak when Mu Jiuchen said first, "Nuannuan, did it hurt? Let me blow on it."
Mu Jiuchen lowered his head and really blew on it. Her skin was already very fair, and a light bump left a red mark.
Jiang Nuan: "..." Treating her like a child.
"Nuannuan, does it still hurt?" Mu Jiuchen looked at her. Their eyes met, and Jiang Nuan's clear eyes were filled with anger.
"It doesn't hurt. Move aside, take your people and leave. You're annoying!" Jiang Nuan wasn't unreasonable, but she didn't think it was necessary to show respect to some people.
Li Wan had never seen such a gentle Mu Jiuchen, and for a moment, she was stunned.
So he wasn't incapable of smiling, it just depended on who he was facing.
In front of Jiang Nuan, he actually smiled so beautifully.
Mu Jiuchen's gaze swept over Li Wan sharply, and then became incredibly gentle as he looked at Jiang Nuan. "Alright, alright, Nuannuan, I promise you won't see her again."
Hearing this, Li Wan tightly clasped her hands together. This damned Jiang Nuan was intentionally trying to drive her away.
She lowered her head and said, "Ninth Master, I've already apologized to Miss Jiang, but I don't know why she just won't forgive me."
Mu Jiuchen's anger flared up when he heard this. "Li Wan, do you know why Nuannuan doesn't forgive you? What right do you have to question her? I kept you here out of consideration for your mother. Your mother has taken care of me diligently over the years, and my villa is not short of people, which is why I kept you."
"If you think you're noble because of this, then I can also tell you that you are not qualified to stay in my villa."
"Ninth Master." Li Wan's tears welled up again. These words were simply too hurtful.
"Go back and leave on your own. As for your mother, I will give her a sufficient retirement pension." Li Wan had ill intentions, and keeping her was a disaster, as could be seen from her every word and action.
"Ninth Master, how can you be so heartless for Jiang Nuan? Ninth Master, you weren't like this before." Li Wan cried so hard she could barely breathe.
Mu Jiuchen was furious. "You feel a pain in your heart, don't you? You hurt Nuannuan just now, and her heart hurts too. Of all the women in this world, only Jiang Nuan is worthy of bearing my child."
"Don't put your dirty thoughts on me. They disgust me. Get lost!"
Mu Jiuchen showed no mercy.
Li Wan could no longer stay. She turned and ran out of the hospital.
Jiang Nuan: "..." Finally gone. She had met people like this before. They thought they were great but were actually very insecure, clinging to their meager self-esteem and pretending to be proud.
"You can go too. Don't bother me." Jiang Nuan turned and locked the ward door.
Mu Jiuchen watched her huffy back and could only smile helplessly. The little girl had quite a temper.
Mu Jiuchen turned and walked towards Li QingShuo's ward. He pushed the door open and saw Li QingShuo leaning against the headboard with a bad complexion.
Seeing Mu Jiuchen enter, he smiled gloatingly and teased, "Still got kicked out, huh? Around noon, I was annoyed by your proud maid, and then I realized I was sick. Seeing you get kicked out makes me feel better."
Mu Jiuchen: "..."
He slightly raised his eyelids and looked at him, his voice unhurried and his deep voice sounding very pleasant. "Nuannuan said you'll be fine."
There was a hint of concern in his voice. He knew Li QingShuo's past best.
"She told me the same thing." Li QingShuo looked at him with a frank expression, indeed, facing it frankly and accepting it frankly.
"It's fine, you go back and rest. Nuannuan said she'll help treat me tomorrow morning."
Mu Jiuchen listened to this address, from Miss Jiang to Nuannuan. He found it quite uncomfortable.
"I'll sleep here tonight." Mu Jiuchen lay down on the sofa. Jiang Nuan was still injured, and he was sensible enough not to upset Nuannuan.
Li QingShuo said he was fine, but he was still quite upset and didn't have the energy to talk to Mu Jiuchen.
Li Wan returned to the villa. Li Qin had already gone back. After telling the butler what happened at the hospital, she left the villa. It was too terrifying here, and she would find work elsewhere.
The butler saw her daughter running in with red eyes. She walked over with a stern face and, before her daughter could speak, quickly raised her hand and slapped her hard across the face.
"Li Wan, you've disappointed me too much. How did I teach you since childhood? What's yours is yours, and what's not yours, even if you give your life for it, the other party won't even glance at you."
"When you left, I told you, we are servants, and I can only raise you plump and healthy and send you to college by relying on these wealthy families. Now, we are all going to leave here."
"Mom." Li Wan felt even more wronged. "Is it wrong for me to like Ninth Master? Jiang Nuan can, so why can't I?" Li Wan spoke her true feelings.
She was truly infatuated with Mu Jiuchen.
Li Wan found this amusing. It was also her own fault that she had never noticed her daughter's little thoughts.
She looked at her daughter with heartache, never imagining that her daughter, who had graduated from college, would say such things.
"Xiao Wan, you said Jiang Nuan is not qualified to have Ninth Master's child, so who do you think is qualified to have his child? Even the richest people in the world eat white rice and white salt. Why do you look down on Jiang Nuan?"
"Mom, I just look down on her. Isn't it just because she's a bit prettier than me?" Li Wan was still unwilling.
"Yes, it's precisely for this reason that she's better than you. She has many other excellent qualities, but you, besides wanting to climb into Ninth Master's bed, where are you excellent? You foolish child, one must respect oneself first before being respected by others." The butler had gone through three generations and understood her daughter's thoughts very well.
She had wanted to get closer to her daughter, so she had kept Xiao Wan by her side, but it had harmed Xiao Wan.
"Xiao Wan, go find a job somewhere else. Ninth Master won't let you stay here anymore." The butler's eyes flickered. In fact, she had harbored a doubt all these years, but she had never had a chance to find the answer.
It was about Mu Jiuchen's mother.
She had been the one to take care of Miss He. Before the arranged marriage, Miss He had someone she liked, and she had met him once or twice.
But after He JunShu's accident, that man also disappeared, and Miss He's death was also very suspicious. She had stayed here all these years but had found nothing.
