Chapter 720 [Under the Brocade 16]
"Okay, since you are so loyal, then you can leave tomorrow." Lu Yi looked at Jin Xia in front of him expressionlessly and said this in a cold tone.
"What? You want me to leave?" Jin Xia's eyes widened, she looked at Lu Yi in disbelief, her voice unconsciously rising an octave. She never thought that she would be driven away just because she lost the token. The loss of the token was indeed her negligence, but she didn't deserve such a severe punishment!
"Yes." Lu Yi still looked indifferent and answered simply and firmly, as if he didn't care at all about Jin Xia's shock and confusion.
At this time, Youyou on the side couldn't bear it anymore, and hurriedly advised: "Sir Lu, Jin Xia didn't do anything wrong. Why do you have to be so heartless. Jin Xia, come here and apologize to Sir Lu." As she said that, Youyou gave Jin Xia a suggestive look.
However, Jin Xia was full of grievance and anger at the moment, so she was not willing to admit her mistake. She shook her head and said stubbornly, "I won't! If you want to leave, then leave. I don't want to stay here!" After that, she turned around and ran out the door, disappearing from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye.
Seeing this, Yang Chengwan couldn't help but sigh, bowed to Lu Yi and apologized, "Master Lu, it's all my fault that I, as a master, didn't teach her well, which made Jin Xia act so willfully. I hope you can be magnanimous and not hold it against her."
Lu Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, pondered for a moment and then slowly said: "I know Jin Xia has nothing to do with that thief, but as the saying goes, 'a good knife needs to be sharpened before it becomes blunt', her personality is too impulsive, if she is not polished, she may not be able to achieve great things in the future."
Hearing this, Yang Chengwan nodded in sudden enlightenment and agreed, "So that's how it is. Lord Lu has thought it through carefully. It is true that my disciple is a little too arrogant. After this incident, I believe she will grow." After that, Yang Chengwan bowed deeply to Lu Yi again to express his gratitude.
Youyou frowned slightly and said with her red lips slightly opened: "Then I'll go see Jinxia. I wonder how she is doing?"
Before she finished speaking, Lu Yi spoke up to stop her, "Wait, Miss Ouyang, please stay. I have something to discuss with you."
Seeing this, Yang Chengwan, who was standing aside, immediately clasped his hands and said respectfully: "Then, Lord Lu, I will take my leave first." Lu Yi nodded slightly to show his agreement.
With Yang Chengwan's departure, Lu Yi and You You were the only ones left in the huge room. You You was wondering what Lu Yi was up to, but she asked calmly, "Why did Lord Lu ask me to stay?"
"You will stay with me from now on. I just need a considerate and caring maid." Lu Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the woman in front of him with a smile, and said slowly. His handsome face looked even more charming under the sunlight, and his deep eyes seemed to be able to see through everything.
"You want me to be your personal maid?" Youyou's eyes widened in disbelief. She could never have imagined that this seemingly superior man would actually make such a request.
"Yes, why, Miss Ouyang is unwilling?" Lu Yi raised his eyebrows, and a faint arc appeared at the corner of his mouth. He looked at Youyou with interest, as if he was looking forward to her next reaction.
Youyou stamped her feet in anger, secretly cursing Lu Yi for being ungrateful, but pretended to be calm on the surface. She gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, since Lord Lu has invited me so kindly, I will obey your command. But don't regret it, I am not someone who can be invited by just anyone!" After saying that, she raised her chin in a demonstrative manner.
"Of course." Lu Yi smiled slightly, sitting upright in the chair, looking calm and composed. "Come, pour me a cup of tea."
"Sir Lu, please have some tea." Although Youyou was unwilling, she still suppressed her anger, forced a smile on her face, walked obediently to Lu Yi, and poured him a cup of steaming hot tea.
Lu Yi stared at Youyou calmly. His handsome face was as delicate as a sculpture, yet it also revealed a hint of elusive depth. He elegantly picked up the teacup, took a sip of the tea, and then slowly put the cup back on the table. His movements were smooth, as if everything was under control.
Lu Yi raised his head slightly, his eyes fell on You You again, and he opened his thin lips and said, "I suddenly remembered that there is a delicious dim sum restaurant on the west street. I wonder if Miss Ouyang would be willing to go there for me?" His voice was low and magnetic, with an unquestionable majesty.
When Youyou heard this, she suddenly felt a surge of anger in her heart. She gritted her teeth secretly, thinking that Lu Yi was really good at ordering people around! But on the surface, she still tried to maintain a smile, but the smile seemed a little stiff. She took a deep breath and tried to respond in a calm tone: "Okay, Lord Lu, please wait a moment." Although she said so, she had already scolded Lu Yi in her heart.
After leaving the room, the smile on Youyou's face instantly disappeared without a trace. She stamped her feet angrily, turned around and told the maid Qiuxia behind her: "Qiuxia, go to the west street and buy me a portion of snacks that Lord Lu wants to eat. Humph, he didn't specify that I must buy it myself, it doesn't matter who buys it!" After saying that, Youyou crossed her arms and stood there sulking.
Jin Xia rushed out like a gust of wind, and she was sure that Xie Xiao must have stolen her token! At this moment, she was full of anger and ran straight to the Wu'an Gang, vowing to find that hateful guy to settle the account.
Soon, Jin Xia arrived at the gate of Wu'an Gang. Without saying a word, she rushed in, shouting as she walked: "Xie Xiao, you despicable villain, come out!" For a moment, the entire Wu'an Gang was turned upside down by her sudden action.
Shangguan Xi, who heard the noise, rushed over and stopped the aggressive Jin Xia, saying, "Miss Xia, wait a minute, there may be a misunderstanding here."
However, Jin Xia, who was already furious, could not listen. She widened her eyes, pointed at Xie Xiao who was hiding behind Shangguan Xi and shouted, "It was him who stole my token. I must bring him back to the government today to question him!"
Seeing this, Xie Xiao not only showed no fear, but smiled shamelessly and said: "Hmph, you said I stole it, do you have any evidence? Stop slandering me here!" Faced with such an arrogant Xie Xiao, Jin Xia was so angry that she was shaking all over. She suddenly pulled out the pistol from her waist and pointed the gun at Xie Xiao's head without hesitation.
Seeing this, the people around gasped, thinking that this was going to be a big deal. Shangguan Xi was also extremely anxious, and hurriedly advised: "Miss Xia, don't be impulsive!"
But Jin Xia couldn't care less at this moment. She tightly grasped the pistol in her hand and said to Xie Xiao with gritted teeth: "If you don't admit it, don't blame me for being rude!"
Although the pistol was already against Xie Xiao's forehead, Jin Xia still couldn't make up her mind to pull the trigger. After all, if someone died, things would not end well. In this way, the two sides were deadlocked and the situation fell into a stalemate...
