My heart was pounding and my palms were sweating. I kept telling myself that she was just a babysitter hired by the Cheng family. You didn't have to be so nervous.
"Right, lay the eggs." "I know that you relied on your mother to stand behind you, so you shamelessly humiliated me. But I hope you will remember that you are currently working in my house, at least in Cheng Ruojun's and mine. Do you think that if I let Cheng Ruojun fire you in this house, Du Lirong can stop me?"
Sister Guo glared at me, her face was green and white, as though she wanted to say something, but no words would come out of her mouth.
The Sister Guo hesitated for a moment before saying, "Then I'll be going now."
Sister Guo quickly left the room and even closed the door affectionately. She was very good at being a servant.
I collapsed onto the bed. In the darkness, the clear and cold moonlight fell on my body, extinguishing my excitement of teaching Sister Guo a lesson. Cheng Ruojun not coming back this late at night once again flooded my mind.
I picked up the phone and saw that there were more than a dozen text messages, all from the same unknown number.
I clicked on her first text message, which was a short video. I took a deep breath and clicked on it.
There were many videos, only a dozen seconds or so, but I could still clearly see Cheng Ruojun's face. The phone that was used to record the video was probably placed on top of the bed.
"Harder." I heard the excited cry of the woman.
The video ended and I stared at the huge pause button on the screen. I suddenly wanted to go through all the videos, click through them like I was possessed, and then bury myself in the quilt. I was still having a fever, which seemed to be getting worse.
I waited for Cheng Ruojun for an entire night, but he didn't come back. When I saw that the sky was getting brighter, I couldn't help but fall asleep.
Cheng Ruojun would come back to see me everyday after work, feed me, and then go out for three hours before coming back again. I think he probably went to make a living with Ye Hanqiu.
During his illness, Ye Hanqiu never stopped sending messages. Other than various videos, there were also all sorts of obscenities.
On the other hand, Sister Guo was very obedient. After getting scolded by me, she became much more obedient. As for the bakery room and the teenager, I had already forgotten about them. I decided to stay away from them for the time being, because of the boy's ambiguous actions, I vowed to follow the rules and not take a step further. I didn't have the ability to act presumptuously.
"Dong, dong, dong." There was a knock on the bedroom door. It was ten o'clock in the morning and I was still in bed with a headache.
"Come in." "No," I said.
Sister Guo walked in with a smile, the corners of her eyes could not help but twitch with pride. I had not seen this expression on her face for the past week, and suddenly felt a little flustered.
"What is it? Sister Guo. " I pretended to be calm.
"The old lady just called to say that Miss Ye is pregnant. From today onwards, Miss Ye will have to live here to recuperate." Her voice became shrill from excitement, "Tonight, the Old Granny and Mr. Cheng's Miss Ye came together. The Old Granny told us to prepare."
I stare at Sister Guo, my two hands tightly grabbing onto the sides of my blanket. I never thought that it would actually be this fast, how could it be that fast.
"Is that child Cheng Ruojun?" If I hadn't tried so hard to hold it in, I'd be crying now.
Sister Guo looked at me and smiled without saying a word, then turned and left.
I fell onto the bed, and my head hurt even more. How could they humiliate me like this, in their eyes, what did I count as? Cheng Ruojun had clearly promised me that before that woman gave birth to her child, she wouldn't come and bother me, but today, that woman came to my house.
I got up from the bed, and the feeling of vomiting invaded my entire body once again. Ye Hanqiu and Cheng Ruojun's bodies were entangled together in front of me.
He said that if I didn't want to find a lover, I would have to continue to endure. I could only choose to continue to endure, maybe Cheng Ruojun was forced by his mother, and this was not his original intention. I can't leave this house, I have nowhere to go.
The servants outside were busy changing furniture and rugs. Even if Du Lirong only appeared in my house for half an hour, she would still have to change everything in my house.
I sat in front of the mirror. Inside the mirror, I looked frighteningly haggard. I had thick black circles under my eyes, pale green cheeks, and bloodless lips. I had lost a lot of weight.
I carefully put on my makeup. Since I am unable to change this fact, then I will accept it. This is probably my fate.
I changed into a burgundy dress with diamonds inlaid on it, revealing a broad back. I had curled my hair and let it fall behind my shoulders. In any case, I was much prettier than that man.
I was putting on lipstick when I heard the racket downstairs and my heart started up again.
With a shake of my hand, the lipstick drew out the area of my lips, leaving a bright red mark on my face. I stared at that blood-red lipstick, stuck out my tongue, and licked it away. I felt a little abnormal.
I smiled in the mirror, but my face was still bitter and I gave up.
I walked out of the room, and before I even went downstairs, I heard their laughter. I clenched both my hands, and swore to not let Ye Hanqiu steal everything from me.
"Oh, they're really late." When I went downstairs, I heard Du Lirong's mocking voice. She looked me up and down, and I saw the resentment and jealousy in her eyes, "You only know how to make up your face everyday. If you have the time, do some serious work."
"I'm sorry." I lowered my head and said, conveniently taking a glance at Cheng Ruojun, who was staring at me intently, but I could clearly see that Ye Hanqiu was hugging onto his arm.
Cheng Ruojun revealed an awkward expression towards me. I could tell that he wanted to talk to me, so the moment I saw his expression, all the pain I was trying so hard to endure surged out.
I wanted to go to his side and ask him what was going on, but suddenly an arm was placed in front of me. I looked over, and Du Lirong was looking at me with a ridiculing expression, the kind of provocation I had seen before when we were newly married, she hated me because I snatched her precious son away.
From today onwards, Ye Hanqiu will have to live. She is pregnant, and it is very likely that she is a boy, it is not as comfortable living outside as inside the house. Sister Guo has already cleaned up a room, right beside the study. Du Lirong's words were extremely rude.
