NOVEL WEB Chapter 31
Chapter 31: Rich and Powerful Young Master is a Little Cold 31
Aunt Zhang was startled for a moment. She didn’t know how to react to what Xiao Yan meant with his words.
However, the butler understood. The expression on his face suddenly turned very ugly.
“Your salary had always been paid from the money my mother left me. It basically doesn’t have a relations.h.i.+p with them.”
Xiao Yan’s fingertips slowly rubbed against the back of Ah Zhao’s hand. He continued by saying: “Therefore, you can look for the butler, look for Mr. Xiao, look for Mrs. Xiao, or look for anyone you can but——”
“Whoever you want to look for, I will still fire you today.”
Aunt Zhang came in contact with Xiao Yan’s black and white clear eyes. Somehow, she felt a chill in her heart.
She is a typical bully who takes advantage of the weak while fearing the strong. With Xiao Yan’s strong att.i.tude at this moment, Aunt Zhao’s swelling arrogance had long been dissipated. She can only restlessly look at the butler, praying for him to say something.
But how can the butler still care for her at this moment?
He looked at Xiao Yan with indefinite bewilderment while thinking in his mind. The teenager he monitored for so many years and the person in front of him doesn’t seem to be the same person.
Who is possible the real Xiao Yan in the end?
That little fool who seems to have completely no opinions and self Xiao Yan, or this underestimated cold and ruthless teenager, is there really only six months that pa.s.sed in between?
“Young Master.”
The butler slowly said: “You are the owner of this place. You have the final say in everything here.”
He tightly stared at Xiao Yan’s expression.
Soon, he saw that Xiao Yan seemed to relax his breath and he happily took Ah Zhao’s hand: “Teacher look, I fired her.”
“No one can bully you and make you upset.”
“Are you happy now?”
Butler: “……”
He somewhat feels a headache and wants to hold his forehead.
He felt that he might have thought too much. The rare moment Young Master stood up was only to make the beauty smile and nothing more.
What ‘disguising as a pig to eat the tiger’? What ‘concealing one’s strength to bide one’s time’? He really thought highly of him(XY). (TL: The two phrases/idioms are basically the same. Only the second has the reason why he pretends to be weak while the first is just him acting to be weak.)
Such a matter happened, the appet.i.te to eat is naturally lost.
Xiao Yan and Ah Zhao returned upstairs.
Xiao Yan didn’t let go of Ah Zhao’s hand but instead said: “I’m sorry, teacher. I used you as an excuse. I wanted to fire Aunt Zhang for a long time.”
Where can Ah Zhao still care about this?
She waved her hands: “Having this and what not, teacher is very happy to help you. But……”
Her complexion is somewhat hesitant.
Xiao Yan concentrated his eyes on her and asked: “But what?”
“——But you mustn’t say strange words anymore in the future.”
Xiao Yan softly asked: “What strange words? Why can’t I understand what teacher means by those words?”
Ah Zhao said with a little helplessness: “J-just like, I am the most important person to you, and that I mustn’t be upset……”
Saying these corny words makes Ah Zhao feel embarra.s.sed.
Xiao Yan just softly laughed: “It turned out to be these words.”
Ah Zhao nodded——
“But, as a matter of fact, these words are not strange words nor lies I made. These are the most real thoughts in my mind.”
Ah Zhao: “……”
That feeling emerged again.
Her face feels hot, the bottom of her heart also feels warm, and all the blood in her body seems to flow faster than usual.
Ah Zhao opened her mouth: “I……”
She’s like that for a while. She doesn’t know what to say.
Xiao Yan leaned his body over and gave her a strong hug.
“I know that teacher is very good to me and I also want to be good to teacher so I hope that teacher will always be happy……”
“Teacher, don’t you like this?” His pitiful voice sounded near Ah Zhao’s ear.
