Chapter 8 - Harshly scolding (4)
Zhong Chi was even more angry.
The way she talked to the butler was sweet and tender, when it came to talking to him, she sounded like he owed her some $3,000,000!
The Zhong"s mansion has a total of three floors.
First floor was the living room, a theater room, and the living quarters of the helpers.
Second floor was the bedrooms of the owners.
Three floor was knocked down into one large open area. The entire s.p.a.ce had six doors and the center part was connected. It was used for bookshelves, storage, and had even hosted parties in the past. But for the most part it was unused.
Zhong Yuhuan summoned the maid and said, "Empty out the third floor and move all my stuff up there. And, go and buy two more small beds."
"But, the master…."
"Just do it!" Zhong Yuhuan just cut her off.
Xu Yunhui and her lot hadn"t been living there for long but Zhong Yuhuan had. When it all came down to it, the maid did gravitate more toward the Miss. After a little hesitation, she finally followed Zhong Yuhuan"s instructions.
It was getting late.
Zhong Chi and Xu Yunhui had just crawled into bed before they heard clanging noises coming from outside of the mansion.
Zhong Chi was always busy at work so when he heard the noises, he just frowned but didn"t get up.
"What the heck is she doing now?" He scolded angrily, but nonetheless closed his eyes and fell asleep shortly. He still has a meeting the next morning.
But Xu Yunhui wasn"t able to fall sleep anymore.
She didn"t dare toss and turn in bed and risked disturbing Zhong Chi so she could only lay there stiffly for most of the night.
On the other hand, Zhong Yuhuan had already arranged the two boys to be seated and dinner was being served.
"Let"s have dinner first," said Zhong Yuhuan.
Warm, yellow light flooded every corner of this s.p.a.cious, open area.
The light seemed to have finally calmed the two kids down a bit.
"Oh wait, let"s wash your hands first," said Zhong Yuhuan as she got up from the chair and let them to the bathroom by their hands.
The kids seemed to have finally gotten used to her grabbing their hands by now.
Their cheeks were no longer beet red like they were earlier.
By now the bathroom has already been set up. There was even liquid soap for kids prepared on the sink.
Zhong Yuhuan first grabbed the Huo Chengming"s left hand and washed it out carefully. She then grabbed Li Jinyuan"s right hand and also washed it out carefully. Then it was Li Jinyuan"s left hand followed by Huo Chengming"s right hand.
This way she was not playing favoritism.
Zhong Yuhuan felt that she was practically a genius.
The two boys had never hand their hands held like that and washed out ever so tenderly before today.
Their eyes moved around slowly and quietly observing Zhong Yuhuan.
The house was very quiet for a moment there and almost started to feel a bit of warmth among the three.
"Okay, done! Just dry your hands and we can start eating!" Zhong Yuhuan handed them each a paper towel.
They each took a paper towel and dried their hands with them before following Zhong Yuhuan back to the dinner table.
Butler Lin was an observant person. Considering that the kids were from the welfare agency, he figured they were not used to many foods. So, he only arranged to have chicken and mushroom porridge and a few side dishes delivered.
Sitting down in front of the table, neither one of the two boys moved.
Zhong Yuhuan looked at them in surprise.
She could already hear their stomachs grumbling. Even then they didn"t scramble to pick up their chopsticks and start eating? They have already learned self-control at their young age?
Zhong Yuhuan dished out a ladle of porridge each and said to them, "Here, let"s start with some porridge."
