Chapter Seventy-Two
Before Yu Zhao was removed from the position of Young Master, she actually didn’t have any enemies. With a gentle and kind personality, she treated everyone equally, and hadn’t done anything harmful.
And Yu Hong, at that time, was one of her followers and friends, and also the first person to offer her friendship when she first entered the Yu family.
Yu Zhao trusted him very much, and it was precisely this trust that led to her being completely betrayed when she was unprepared.
Before Yu Zhao returned to the Yu family, the next Young Master should have been selected from among the younger generation. Everyone thought that this person would be Yu Hong, and even Yu Hong himself thought so. As a result, Yu Zhao’s sudden appearance shattered his dream. He was resentful, but hid it deeply, deceiving Yu Zhao with his cheerful appearance, and naturally became the first person under the Young Master, his status and power increasing instead of decreasing.
After Yu Zhao lost her position, he tore off his mask of hypocrisy, communicated with a ghost, and used his great strength to crush Yu Zhao’s leg bones inch by inch, not only destroying her hope of leaving the Yu family and starting a new life, but also cruelly shattering her desire to become stronger.
Yu Hong didn’t hide his methods, but after Yu Zhao stepped down, he immediately became the new Young Master. The position of Young Master was above everyone else, which led to no one spreading this matter, and everyone tacitly concealed his viciousness.
Outsiders didn’t know about this, but Bo Chi, who had the plot, knew very well about the evil deeds he had done. Now, seeing this person come to invite her to the Yu family, she immediately became angry, her small hands clenching tightly under the quilt, wishing she could rush up and beat this person to death.
Fortunately, she was still somewhat rational, and knew that she was just a healer now, without power or influence, and it wasn’t suitable for her to confront Yu Hong directly, so she lowered her eyes and pretended to be timid: “Uncle Yu, my name is Bo Chi.“
The corner of Yu Hong’s mouth twitched, and he quickly recovered, walked up to Bo Chi, and praised: “Xiao Chi, what a cute name, you can call me Big Brother Yu, or…“
He bent down slightly, not caring about Bo Chi’s simple clothes and messy hair, raised his hand and rubbed Bo Chi’s head affectionately, his handsome face carrying a gentle smile that made girls’ hearts flutter, his tone inexplicably ambiguous: “Or call me Brother Yu.“
Bo Chi retched in her heart, but on the surface, she shrank back into the bed, avoiding the hand that had broken Yu Zhao’s legs.
Yu Hong’s smile faded slightly, he straightened up and said kindly: “Xiao Chi, have you heard of the three great families in the aristocratic district? Our Yu family is the head of the three great families, and more than half of the people in our family are spirit mediums, which means they will be your companions in the future. Do you want to go to the Yu family with big brother and get to know them in advance?“
Heh, was he trying to trick a child?
Saying ‘get to know them’, wasn’t he just taking advantage of the fact that commoners didn’t understand anything, and tricking her into the Yu family to be a healer?
Bo Chi despised Yu Hong’s shamelessness in her heart, but Yu Zhao was in the Yu family, so she naturally couldn’t give up this good opportunity to get close to her.
But if she really agreed, Bo Chi would be unhappy – There were many offensive and defensive spirit mediums, and slightly fewer control-type ones, but healing-type ones were truly rare. After all, ghosts were all killers, which ghost would save people after death?
It was conceivable that if she followed Yu Hong into the Yu family, then she would undoubtedly be marked by Yu Hong from the beginning. The more people she saved, the more those people would only thank Yu Hong besides thanking her. Over time, his prestige in the family would rise, and others would admire and respect Yu Hong even more.
Bo Chi didn’t want to see such a scene.
She racked her brains for a perfect solution, and as she thought, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she suddenly knew how to deal with this dog man.
Suppressing the malicious thoughts in her heart, Bo Chi temporarily focused on the matter at hand, and replied with a pure and innocent face: “Okay, I’ll listen to Uncle Yu.“
Yu Hong’s face lit up with joy, and he repeatedly said “okay”, then restrained himself and said gently: “Then you and your sister continue eating. After you finish eating, someone will naturally come and pick you up.“
He was very good at putting on a show, speaking kind words to Bo Chi and Bo Yu softly, and only revealing a happy smile when he finally walked out the door. Then he suddenly remembered something, and touched his face suspiciously.
If he remembered correctly, he wasn’t even thirty years old this year, right?
Why was he being called uncle?!
Yu Hong’s confusion couldn’t be expressed to outsiders. Bo Chi and Bo Yu were taken to the Yu family after dinner.
As one of the three great families, and the top family in the aristocratic district, the Yu family didn’t just refer to one house, but a large family surrounded by a large area of villas. What was guarded in the very center was the core area where the elders and the Young Master lived.
——And the former Young Master, Yu Zhao, also lived there.
Bo Chi didn’t have the chance to approach, because she was a ‘lower-class person’ from the slums. Even if she had healing abilities and suddenly became a sought-after spirit medium, she still couldn’t resist the arrogance of the nobles, and couldn’t set foot in the core area or meet those arrogant elders.
The person who led the way finally took them to a villa in the middle area, gave a few instructions not to offend the core area, and hurriedly left.
Unlike the smelly and dilapidated slums, the villas here were beautiful and unique, elegant and unconventional. At a glance, no two villas were decorated the same, each showing a different kind of beauty, enough to see the Yu family’s heritage and the designer’s care.
The one in front of Bo Chi was a European-style villa, with a pointed roof covered with crimson tiles, and white walls covered with vines, adding a bit of wildness to the house.
As she entered the house, a handsome young man in a tailcoat walked over, knelt down on one knee in front of Bo Chi, put his hand on his chest, and said with affectionate eyes: “Welcome home, miss.“
Bo Yu’s face turned red, she let out a small gasp of surprise, and involuntarily hid behind Bo Chi.
Bo Chi’s face was expressionless, and she said calmly: “I don’t like you, can you change someone else?“
The handsome young man looked at Bo Chi pitifully, his eyes showing sadness, but he nodded obediently: “Yes, what kind of older brother does miss want?“
Bo Chi: “I want a woman.“
Young man: “?”
Bo Chi: “A beautiful and cute young lady in a maid outfit, fragrant and soft, who can also make desserts.“
The young man choked: “…”
So it wasn’t his beauty trap that was the problem, it was his gender!
The handsome young man left with a strange expression.
Bo Chi pulled Bo Yu into the house. Just as they were discussing which room to stay in, Bo Yu hesitantly said: “Chi-Chi, do you like girls?“
Bo Chi said frankly: “Yes, but the reason I drove him away was because I was worried that he would use his beauty to seduce you. Big sister, you must not be deceived by men with bad intentions, the more handsome a man is, the more deceitful he is!“
Bo Yu’s face turned red, then she shook her head and said seriously: “I won’t be deceived, I only listen to Chi-Chi, you are my last relative, no one can take you away from me!“
Bo Chi nodded with relief, and then assigned the rooms.
Around noon, the doorbell rang. Bo Chi had just finished taking a bath, and was wearing slippers, wiping her hair as she came to the door, and opened it: “Who is it?“
“Hello.” Outside the door was indeed a beautiful young lady, wearing a black and white maid outfit, and she said shyly: “My name is Zhong Yan, and I’m your exclusive maid…“
“Okay, I know.” Bo Chi interrupted her, turned around and said: “Come in and cook. Don’t blame me for being blunt, but if your cooking is too bad, I’ll still have to change someone.“
Zhong Yan’s face didn’t look good.
Shouldn’t people from the slums be meek and submissive, letting her tease and order around? How come this little girl in front of her was so arrogant and willful!
She was a little unhappy, but thinking that this was, after all, someone brought back by the Young Master, and also a rare healer, she suppressed her anger, entered the house obediently, and started cooking.
The first dish she made was high-end Western food, pan-fried beef and lamb chops, paired with brightly colored cherry tomatoes and green broccoli, a perfect visual feast.
Just as she confidently and disdainfully brought the dishes to the table, preparing to watch the clumsy and funny postures of these two poor people who couldn’t even use a knife and fork, the thin and small girl became unhappy, and said angrily: “Just one piece of beef and two lamb chops, are you feeding a cat? When we fed pigs in the slums, we didn’t even treat pigs so poorly!“
Zhong Yan’s smile froze.
Bo Yu said in confusion: “Chi-Chi, we don’t have pigs to feed at home…“
Bo Chi waved her hand, interrupted her, and said to Zhong Yan impolitely: “And there’s still blood in this meat, it looks scary, black and red. Anyway, I’m not satisfied, either you make it again, or you change someone!“
Zhong Yan gritted her teeth silently, and tried to explain patiently: “Miss, beef is like this, I guarantee you’ll like it after one bite.“
Bo Chi ignored her, took out the phone she had just prepared, and called the only contact. The call quickly connected, and she spoke first, her voice aggrieved: “Uncle Yu! The maid here is so disobedient, I’m scared of the bloody beef and don’t want to eat it, I want her to make it again, but she’s unwilling. I know, my sister and I are both lower-class people, we shouldn’t have come to such a good place. Thank you for your hospitality today, Uncle Yu. Since the maid doesn’t welcome us, then we should just go back to the slums.“
Yu Hong said something on the other end of the phone. Soon, the girl turned around and gave Zhong Yan a devilish smile. When Zhong Yan had a bad premonition, she handed the phone over.
Zhong Yan took a deep breath, took the phone and still wanted to explain, but Yu Hong snatched all her words, and she endured Yu Hong’s gentle but blaming reprimand with a stifled anger.
For the first time, Zhong Yan felt anger towards the Young Master of the family.
She wanted to grab the other party’s neck and roar: “Are you out of your mind?! Isn’t what this old lady made good enough? The family wanted you to find a gentle healer, and you brought back what, a demon or monster!”
After cursing in her heart for a while, Zhong Yan vented her anger, lowered her head and said meekly: “Yes, Young Master is right, it’s Zhong Yan’s fault for not doing well enough. Don’t worry, I will definitely make it again and let Miss Bo have a satisfactory lunch.“
After much talking, she finally made the Young Master hum and hang up the phone.
Zhong Yan returned the phone to Bo Chi expressionlessly, her voice stiff: “Then I’ll make another one. I don’t know what Miss specifically wants to eat?“
Bo Chi: “Whatever.“
Zhong Yan: “…”
She nodded patiently, turned to leave, and was stopped by Bo Chi again: “Wait, these two plates of meat are for you, we poor people don’t like to waste food, so you have to eat them all for me, do you understand?“
“I understand.” Zhong Yan turned around, picked up the plates, and said stiffly.
Bo Chi blinked, and seeing that she was about to leave, she said again: “And…“
Zhong Yan turned around patiently: “What?“
Bo Chi smiled brightly: “And, I like happy girls, so you have to speak to me in a cheerful tone and with a bright smile, do you understand?“
