Supreme Heir Son-in-law
Chapter 95 Nanny

Chapter 95: Chapter 95 Nanny

The person hit was a young man. Fortunately, he wasn’t seriously hurt and didn’t want to pursue the matter. Taking the thirty thousand yuan from Xu Ke and Lin Mengyao settled the issue.

Xu Ke and Lin Mengyao moved to the villa on a day when the weather was great, bright and sunny with not a cloud in the sky. Neither of them told anyone when they left.

"Xu Ke, I suddenly thought of something really important. Our house is so big, the two of us can’t possibly manage to clean it all," Xu Ke said after putting all her clothes into the closet, suddenly slapping her forehead.

Lin Mengyao looked bewildered, her expression was adorably cute, causing Xu Ke to burst into laughter, "What’s to worry about? We’ll just go to the housekeeping agency and hire a maid later."

Lin Mengyao blushed a little, embarrassed by Xu Ke’s smile, lowered her head and felt annoyed at her own foolishness inside.

Once they almost finished tidying up home, Xu Ke drove Lin Mengyao to the largest housekeeping agency in Luo City.

"What kind of maid do you want to choose later?" Xu Ke asked as he looked down.

"Quick and good at cooking," Lin Mengyao said after pondering for a while.

While they were discussing, a woman with an imposing presence walked into the lobby. She was somewhat plump and adorned in gold and silver, looking like a walking treasure chest. Her face was frighteningly sullen, clearly not someone easy to get along with.

"Madam, madam, I’m really innocent, I really didn’t do anything." A slightly hoarse female voice rang out, only then did everyone see she was clutching another woman’s hair, dragging her from the entrance into the lobby, dropping her hard at the most crowded spot. Pointing at the sobbing woman holding her hair, she said loudly, "You’re talking nonsense. All the evidence is against you, don’t think you can shirk it."

"All of you here today, remember this face, so that you never hire someone like her as a maid. This woman enjoyed everything in my house and was supported by my money, yet she seduced my husband and stole from our home. Even when caught, she denied everything. With someone so morally corrupted, she should be banned from this industry, unfit to continue as a maid." The woman placed a hand on her hip while still pointing at the woman on the ground, her face was flushed red, seemingly from anger.

"I didn’t do it, this is slander. It’s your and your husband’s underling having an affair whom I caught, and you’re falsely accusing me," said the woman on the ground, raising her head and speaking loudly.

"Slap!" The woman with the rings slapped the other without hesitation, turning her face aside, the red mark swelling visibly.

"What nonsense are you spouting! You even dare to slander your employer now? I should have sent you directly to the police instead of being soft-hearted." The woman’s pupils contracted violently, her finger pointing shakily at the woman on the floor as she shouted. She seemed stern on the surface, but Xu Ke could sense her guilt and realized the woman on the ground was probably telling the truth.

"I’m not lying, what I’m saying are the facts. What you just accused me of is slander." The woman on the floor said with a sobbing voice, hoping someone would believe her, but reality gave her a harsh slap. The surrounding murmurs clearly doubted the truth of her words, or even if they didn’t doubt they watched it unfold as a spectacle.

The glimmer of hope in the woman’s eyes dimmed.

The woman adorned in jewels seemed pleased with the effect she had caused as she embraced her own arms and looked condescendingly at the woman slumped on the ground, saying in a sharp and acrimonious tone, "You sharp-tongued woman, I initially thought you were honest when I hired you. Yet in such a short time you’ve shown your true colors, but heaven has eyes, and let me see your true nature early on. Today I’ll watch closely to see if anyone dares to hire you as a maid. I said I would make it impossible for you to find work in Luo City, see if I can fulfill it or not."

In the crowd, Lin Mengyao frowned as she watched this scene unfold before her.

"What’s wrong?" Xu Ke asked softly.

"That lady is being wronged. Let’s help her, since we’re also looking for a maid, aren’t we?"

"Alright." Xu Ke took Lin Mengyao’s hand, intending to part the crowd in front of them and lead her to the center.

But as the two talked, one of the onlookers grabbed Xu Ke’s sleeve, glanced at the overbearing woman in the center, and whispered to Xu Ke and Lin Mengyao, "Don’t go being a do-gooder. Do you know who that person is? That’s the mistress of the Sun Group, someone you can’t afford to offend. You both look young; don’t let this mess up your future because of a moment’s rashness. It’s not worth losing the rest of your life over this."

"Sun Group? Are they that powerful?" In Xu Ke’s memory, there were no legendary tales of Sun Group among the Luo City’s high society, so Xu Ke looked towards Lin Mengyao since compared to himself, she was a local of Luo City and should know the city’s power dynamic more thoroughly, but she was equally puzzled, "Never heard of it."

"It doesn’t matter whether you’ve heard of it or not; there’s nothing worth caring about anyway." Xu Ke chuckled softly, spoke nonchalantly, then under the helpless gaze of the person who warned them, led Lin Mengyao to the center of the crowd.

"Who are you? What do you want? There’s nothing here that concerns you, get out of my sight." The woman narrowed her eyes, looked Xu Ke and Lin Mengyao up and down, and seeing no brand names on them, assumed they were from a middle-class family looking for a maid, thus she didn’t give them any notice, speaking with an unmistakably commanding tone.

The woman believed she was imposing, but neither Xu Ke nor Lin Mengyao placed their attention on her. Instead, they turned to the lady she had viciously insulted.

Just at that moment, the crowd was again parted as the manager of the housekeeping agency came over with a handkerchief, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, and apologizing to the woman adorned in jewels.

"We had no idea she was this kind of person, we’re truly sorry. Please, Madam Sun, rest assured, our company will dismiss her according to your request and ensure she won’t appear in the housekeeping market again," the manager promised.

He knew clearly the character of the people he’d hired, and the accused woman could never have done what Madam Sun slandered her with. But what use was knowing that? He couldn’t protect her. Things had escalated beyond control, and all because she had simply been unlucky to see something she shouldn’t have, no one else to blame but fate.
