"Yuanyuan, I admit that Han Dai got what she deserved, but Miss Chen has never asked you for anything before. Just this once, please help out," Chen Shufen shielded her own people with an almost principle-less protectiveness, the same way she did with me and with Xiao Li.
And now, her approach was fully evident in her handling of Han Dai.
A softness crept into my heart, "You want me to..." consider it.
Truthfully, I didn't want to agree at all, but because of Miss Chen's words, I was willing to consider it.
However, I was directly interrupted by Beichen stepping forward, "Please do not force Yuanyuan, thank you."
"..." Chen Shufen's face turned instantly pale.
Beichen reminded Xiao Li, "Take care of your boss, don't let her get stressed."
"Oh, oh, oh, oh." Xiao Li, looking quite unease, supported Chen Shufen, who was not in a good state, and sheepishly responded.
She had a good relationship with both me and Miss Chen, and now she seemed to be in a difficult position, caught in the middle.
At this moment, a cheerful whistle tune of "A Thousand Years for One Wait" came from upstairs; the person whistled half of it and even sang out excitedly,
"A thousand years for one wait, oh, wait a moment, my brother already found a wife, where is mine, my goddess Xiao Qing, when will you notice me..."
This singing was just... freaking hell...
There was no denying that Yu Rongling had a pleasant voice, sunny, lively, and clear, like it was meant for a cute puppy.
The terrifying part was that he was utterly devoid of any musical talent, not one note was on key.
Everybody present was awkwardly petrified.
Yet Yu Rongling seemed completely unaware; as long as he wasn't embarrassed, it was everyone else who felt awkward,
"Hey, is this woman a new client of your sister-in-law? Not bad, pregnant and framed by others, saving her could save several lives."
"Who... Who is he?" Han Dai looked at the handsome and dashing Yu Rongling and blurted out, "Is he a celebrity too?"
Chen Shufen frowned miserably, "He is Snake Immortal."
"Snake... Snake..." Han Dai's face paled slightly, visibly frightened.
But my feelings were entirely different, "Rongling, did you figure that out by reading her face?"
"Yeah, my face-reading is unparalleled, taught by Liu Manor, but you know, I also studied under my brother's guidance," Yu Rongling said with a smug and narcissistic smile, patting my shoulder, "The business you've gotten this time is good, it will be a big help to my brother. Sister-in-law, I idolize you to death. When I look for a girlfriend, I'll set the same standards as you~"
"..." I felt a whole slew of exasperation; he really had no filter.
Saying his criteria for choosing a girlfriend in front of all these people, and having that standard set like his brother, after my own image, was an utter trap.
I quickly recovered from my exasperated stupor, "Rongling, there is a bunch of dishes in the kitchen that nobody has washed, go wash them."
"Yay, I can finally be of use, sister-in-law I'm going right now to do the work, I'll wash each dish spotlessly clean and pretty, whiter than a girl's arm."
Yu Rongling cheered and ran off to the back kitchen.
The dumbass had finally pissed off!!
I took a breath of relief, "Han Dai, I agree to help you, but it's out of respect for Miss Chen. Plus, the trouble you've gotten into is not small, and my fee is high, you know?"
"I know, I know," Han Dai's eyes suddenly brightened from despair as she nodded eagerly, even taking off her sunglasses to show respect, "Miss Wan, I shouldn't have treated you like a gofer, that's all my fault, I shouldn't have looked down on you. From now on, I will regard you as the most respected person in my life."
