A servant went forward with some hesitation. “Housekeeper Liu, it’s not that we don’t care but Young Master was the one who brought this woman back… Young Master said she’s the young madam…”
“Young Madam?”
Liu Lin laughed sarcastically. “How is she the young madam? I order you to throw this woman out!”
Three years ago, there was a crazy woman who broke into the villa when they were not paying attention and tried to do something to Gu Zheng. After that, the security system of this villa was upgraded and outsiders could not break in at all.
Qiao Xi looked at the woman thoughtfully. “If I’m not wrong, this villa should be using the third-generation Skynet Security System. The security here is comparable to that of the Pentagon. The possibility of outsiders breaking in is almost zero. All of you have been recorded into the facial recognition system to ensure that you can enter and exit freely, but that’s all. You don’t have the authority to bring others in.”
The third-generation Skynet Security System had been upgraded twice. Only one person could control the system. In other words, apart from Gu Zheng, no one else had the authority to bring strangers into the villa.
Rubbing her stomach, Qiao Xi went to the table and poured herself a glass of water. “I can sense that you’re hostile toward me. Although I don’t know why, I can make a few simple logical deductions.”
“Your attitude and how you treat the servants prove that you hold a high position in this villa. At the same time, you’ve been enjoying everything that you have now.
“When a person has a lot of things, they’ll naturally become greedy. There has never been a mistress in this villa. You, the housekeeper, have been in charge of everything, including the flowers in the vase of the dining room today, the incense burning in the study, dinner, and so on… Thinking of yourself as the mistress, you enjoy the feeling of everyone listening to your orders and being in command of everything.
“Because you know very well that it’s impossible for strangers to enter this villa without Gu Zheng’s permission, you felt threatened the moment you saw me and couldn’t wait to expel me from your territory, right?”
From the moment she entered the villa, Qiao Xi had a strange feeling.
The entire villa had been decorated too deliberately. Other than Gu Zheng’s room, all the other spaces were like display walls, secretly and obscurely displaying someone’s possessiveness.
At first, she thought that it was Gu Zheng’s strange hobby. However, after seeing Liu Lin, everything became clear.
“No, you’re talking nonsense!”
Liu Lin looked ferocious as the truth had been exposed. “You eloquent woman, watch how I tear your mouth off!”
Her sharp nails suddenly clawed at Qiao Xi’s face.
“Tsk.”
Qiao Xi raised her eyebrows. She was careless when Gu Moling slapped her earlier. If she was slapped by Liu Lin this time, where would she put her dignity?
When Liu Lin’s palm was about to land on Qiao Xi’s face, no one saw Qiao Xi’s movements clearly but they saw a shadow flash past. The next moment, a muffled groan sounded in the air.
After taking another look, it seemed that Qiao Xi had already twisted Liu Lin’s arm behind her back, forcing her to kneel on the floor.
Qiao Xi controlled Liu Lin with one hand and said expressionlessly, “Don’t hit people in the face. Didn’t your mother teach you?”
At the same time, deep laughter came from the second floor.
“Rumor has it that Miss Qiao’s body is weak to the extent that you’d fall when the wind blew. It seems that rumors can’t be trusted.”
“You said it yourself that they’re rumors.” Qiao Xi looked up and met Gu Zheng’s eyes.
“Young Master, Young Master, save me!” Liu Lin screamed desperately when she saw Gu Zheng, taking him as her savior.
Gu Zheng chuckled. “Save you? No way.”
How could a housekeeper be more important than his legally married wife?
Gu Zheng waved his hand and signaled the servants to take Liu Lin away.
After Liu Lin was dragged away, Gu Zheng glanced at the cup of water in Qiao Xi’s hand and asked, “What are you doing downstairs?”
“I’m hungry.”
Qiao Xi narrowed her eyes as her gaze swept past Gu Zheng’s finger. She suddenly asked, “Do you want a kiss?”
She had clearly said the most intimate and embarrassing words, yet Qiao Xi’s expression did not change in the slightest. Her eyes made others vaguely perceive…
Gu Zheng stared at her for a long time. A malicious smile gradually blossomed on his handsome face. “No rush, we have plenty of time.”
When he finished speaking, Qiao Xi did not react. However, the servants all had strange expressions on their faces, while a few of the younger ones were even blushing.
Glancing at the clock on the wall, Gu Zheng said, “I’ll get the kitchen to prepare dinner now. Do you have any foods that you don’t like?”
Qiao Xi shook her head.
Everything she ate was bitter, so she had no concerns about this.
Gu Zheng nodded. “You’ll be easy to feed, then.”
