"Sigh, it's because your uncle was too ill at the wrong time that the Ye Family got the chance to secretly kill him. It wouldn't be excessive if he died!" Madam Long's heart was filled with sorrow, but the benevolent smile on her face when she returned home was nowhere to be seen. In just a few short months, the Long family encountered a disaster like this. How long could she maintain her fake smile?
Mom, one day, I will make the Ye Family pay!" Long Tianming said fiercely, a cruel expression on his face! He would become a cripple, his father would suddenly pass away, and the Long family would suddenly suffer a huge blow all because of the Ye family! He will make them pay a hundred times more bitterly than he does!
However, everyone present knew that Long Tianming was just verbally cursing because he didn't have the ability to destroy the Ye Family. Business had never been his forte!
Long Yingqi raised his palm, patting his shoulder as he comforted him, "Tianming, don't worry. Big Brother will help you take back everything."
"Yes, Tianming. You should believe that Haoxuan is capable of doing that." Mentioning Long Haoxuan, Madam Long finally gave a gratified smile, "And Yingqi, I will rely on you two brothers' strength. The Long family will come back, and the Ye family will pay the price."
Long Yingqi only nodded once and lightly sipped the tea in his cup. Madam Long looked at Long Yingqi. Although she was pleased that the brothers were able to help the Long family vent their anger, they didn't dare to do so. However … Long Yingqi was easy to talk about, his actions were gentle, thoughtful, and calm.
But Long Haochen's personality was exactly the opposite. When doing things, he was cold-blooded and decisive, the kind of person who would use any means possible to reach his goal. These people could fly higher, but they could also easily cause trouble.
She had always been worried that Long Haochen would be provoked into doing inhuman things, or that he would break the law. If that was really the case, she would rather have the Long family leave than let anything happen to him!
Ye Jia, who had been hiding in the backyard, didn't dare to show her face. When she heard the voices of the girls, she realized that it was the maid who had gone out to greet them.
One of them opened the small gift box and suddenly exclaimed happily, "What I have is a brooch with the Long family's label on it. It's so beautiful!"
"Is that so? "Let me see …" Several girls surrounded her and screamed together with her, "Wow, it's even pure gold! To think that the Madam would actually gift such an expensive gift to everyone. Isn't that a bit too generous?"
"Hey, what's yours?" The few girls excitedly compared the gifts they had received with each other. When Ye Jia saw their happy expressions, she couldn't help but laugh along with them.
"Madam, you're so kind. Even the Long Family is going to close down, and you even gave us gifts. Sigh, it's a pity that good people don't get paid back!" One of the girls said sympathetically as she tried on the bracelet.
The other two girls nodded in agreement, "That's right, the heavens are too unfair. To actually let the Long family suffer such a fate, and even let Young Master Tianming lose his leg, that's really too unreasonable."
While unintentionally listening to their conversation, Ye Jia's face suddenly froze and her smile froze. Long Tianming broke his leg? When did this happen? How could she not know? Who could tell her what was going on!?
The maid saw Ye Jia, she stopped and laughed: "Ye Jia, what are you doing here? Hurry to Sister Ling's place to receive her gift! They are all authentic products from Long's company! " In the Long family, no one knew the true identity of Ye Jia. No one, not even Sister Ling, knew the grudge between her and the Long family.
Therefore, these maids didn't treat her like an enemy like Sister Ling. Other than the few servants in charge of the front yard who had been brainwashed by Sister Ling, the group in the back yard treated her quite well.
Ye Jia smiled and shook her head, "I am not interested in jewelry, so I will not take it." It was true that these things were useless to her. Even if she really wanted them, it wasn't certain that Sister Ling would gift them to her. She would already be thankful if he didn't beat her up and didn't scold her. She didn't dare to hope that there would be a gift for him to receive!
"Whatever, we'll go back to work." The young maid still looked very happy, but if she didn't go back to work, Sister Ling would find out. In the Long family, there was no one who wasn't afraid of Sister Ling.
"Wait a moment." Ye Jia suddenly called out to the maid who was about to leave. The maid turned and looked at her quizzically. "What's the matter?"
"Ugh …" Ye Jia hesitated for a moment and asked, "You just said that young master Tianming has a broken leg?" How did young master Tianming break his leg? When did this happen? " Ye Jia's question was a little urgent, causing the girls to be stunned. They didn't understand why Young Master Tianming was so nervous after breaking his leg. Was she feeling unfair for him like the rest of them?
One of the girls shook her head and replied, "We don't know what happened either. "A few months ago, when young master Tianming came here, he was still fine, but today, I saw him sitting on a wheelchair." Then, as if he had suddenly thought of something, he murmured to himself, "No wonder young master Tianming hasn't come to drink and chat with the eldest young master and the second young master lately. So …"
"Ye Jia, what happened to you?" Another maid saw that Ye Jia's expression was strange and asked worriedly.
"No …" Ye Jia forced out a smile and shook her head, "Nothing, I was just curious. Alright, you guys go back to work, I'm going to wash the clothes." And then he turned around to hide in the laundry room.
When Long Haoxuan rushed back, it was already after dinner. Madam Long was in the living room drinking tea. Seeing his return, she stood up with a smile, "Haoxuan, you're back!"
"Yeah, there's a bit of a traffic jam on the way, so it's too late." Long Haochen said with an apologetic tone, his gaze falling on Long Tianming's broken leg. "Tianming, was the treatment successful?"
"Since he won't die, then so be it." Long Tianming said ruthlessly. Madam Long gave him a sideways glance and told Long Haochen, "Actually, you don't have to be so tired. You still have to rush back tomorrow, it's so tiring."
Long Haoxuan smiled indifferently to show that he didn't mind. When Long Tianming and his wife returned from America, he felt that he should come back and accompany them. After all, this time was different than before. Now that the Long family had fallen, the Long family's main house was naturally gone as well. Madam Long and Long Tianming's arrival here was equivalent to taking refuge.
Long Haoxuan turned around and said to Sister Ling with a malicious tone, "Where is Miss Ye? Tell her to come and serve the madame and make two cups of scented tea. "
"No need, I can walk, there's nothing to wait on me." She didn't notice the mischievous look in Long Haochen's eyes and assumed that she was only finding him an ordinary maid.
"Aunt, it's alright. If you have anything you need to do, you can tell her." Long Haochen said with a smile.
In the backyard, Ye Jia was looking for work. It had been a long day, and she felt like she couldn't hide like this. However, she didn't have the courage to face Long Tianming. After all, she was the one who took the initiative to end the engagement!
Before she could think of what to do, Sister Ling's loud voice rang out, "Ye Jia! Die! "Ye Hang!"
Ye Jia walked out in a hurry. She looked at Sister Ling and asked, "Sister Ling, what do you need me for?" From the looks of it, there was probably nothing good going on! Ye Jia started to panic. She had already asked another maid to take her clothes to each of the young masters' rooms. She couldn't understand why Sister Ling would look for her so late at night.
"Where did you die today?" You can't see a single person?! " When Sister Ling saw her, she immediately scolded. Ye Jia did not say anything, just waiting for her to finish scolding and take care of her business. Right now, she had already learned one move, which was to enter the right ear and exit the left ear. No matter how much she cursed, she would pretend that she couldn't hear it!
Sister Ling probably scolded him with no meaning, so she followed Long Haochen's instructions, "Make two cups of scented tea for the Madame and young master Tianming in the living room … Hurry up and go! What are you blanking out for! "
When she said the first half of the sentence, Ye Jia was stunned. She was asked to make two cups of scented tea for her mistress and Long Fuming? Was she hearing things? He opened his mouth and stuttered, "I … I still have a lot of clothes that haven't been folded, so I'll ask Little Li to help me send them over. "
"The Eldest Young Master said that he wants you to send it yourself!" Elder sister Ling raised her voice in annoyance.
Ye Jia was startled for a second time, Long Haoxuan —! That death demon that killed a thousand knives! It was clear that he was doing it on purpose. He wanted to watch a good show and see her embarrassed in front of Long Tianming!
"Why aren't you moving faster!?" Sister Ling was completely enraged by her and howled. Ye Jia could only run to the front of the house and slowly brewed two cups of scented tea. As she carried the scented tea to the living room, her face turned pale!
Long Tianming! After a month had passed, she saw him again. A month ago, he was still enjoying himself, but now, he was sitting in a wheelchair! Beside him was Madam Long, who had been good to him before. She was Long Tianming's mother!
So the Lady Long they were talking about wasn't Long Haochen or Long Yingqi's mother, but was … She was extremely familiar with the woman who almost became her mother-in-law's woman!
Madam Long and Long Tianming looked at her at the same time as well, their expressions of surprise no less than hers. After staring at each other for a long while, Long Tianming was the first to react. Gritting his teeth, he spat out two words, "Ye Jia!"
"Why are you here?!" Madame Long stood up from the sofa with a howl and glared at her. Ye Jia felt the sudden double pressure and didn't know what to do. It was the first time she'd seen such a malevolent Long Tianming, and the first time she'd seen such an enraged Madam Long!
In the past, whenever she met Madam Long, Madam Ye would always hold her hand and smile benevolently. He sized her up and praised her in satisfaction, "Yo, my little daughter-in-law is getting more and more beautiful. I wish you could have a date with me earlier!"
But now, the hatred on her face wasn't any less than when Long Haochen had gone crazy. The more Ye Jia held the tray, the sharper she became. She helplessly looked at Long Haochen. On his face, she saw an evil sneer. Anyone could see that it was a sneer of schadenfreude as they watched a good show.
