Chapter 2048: Conquer their favor
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
As expected of someone who grew up wildly outside and was devoid of any manners. Even though she had returned, she probably wouldn’t win Madam Nie and Patriarch Nie’s favor.
Nie Linglong magnanimously and amiably spoke up, “Sister Worriless, the steward is just acting on the wellbeing of Tangtang and didn’t do anything wrong. If he’s made you unhappy, you can just mildly punish him. You truly don’t need to be so angry.”
Ye Wanwan mockingly glanced at Nie Linglong. “Who said I’m firing him because of this?”
“Then…?”
Ye Wanwan smiled. “Because I don’t like him.”
Nie Linglong started. A tinge of anger appeared on her face, but she quickly concealed the emotion and turned to Madam Nie and Patriarch Nie with a troubled expression. “Dad, Mom, Steward Li has performed his duties properly and never did anything wrong since he came to the Nie family. If we fire him just like this, I’m afraid it’d be inappropriate…”
As Patriarch Nie served some food to Ye Wanwan’s bowl, he uncaringly said, “Since Worriless doesn’t like him, we’ll replace him. It’s nothing serious.”
Madam Nie promptly said to the young steward, “Go to the finance department and settle your salary.”
The young steward couldn’t believe how easily he was fired. He was fired simply because of an “I don’t like him” from Ye Wanwan? He turned to look at Nie Linglong pleadingly.
Nie Linglong’s pupils contracted. Previously, although Madam Nie and Patriarch Nie treated the impostor indulgently, they still had a limit. Who would’ve expected them to lose all principles when faced with the real Worriless Nie? They obeyed and agreed with her every word basically…
Anything she said would probably be useless under these circ.u.mstances and might even provoke their ire.
This interlude quickly concluded. Nie Linglong was unable to plead for leniency and the young steward was fired directly.
Madam Nie turned to Ye Wanwan. “Ah, Worriless, don’t be angry. Since you don’t like this one, I’ll go call a group of people here another day and you can choose one you like.”
Ye Wanwan hugged Madam Nie by her arm and happily said, “Thank you, Mom!”
Although Ye Wanwan’s actions contained some acting, her intimacy toward her real mother was earnest.
She was able to win over even Si Yehan, so how could she possibly not win her real parents’ favor?
Today was Ye Wanwan’s first time calling her “Mom” and in such an intimate manner too! Madam Nie was wild with joy and a grin spread across her face. “Silly child, why do you need to thank your mom? If there’s anything else you want in the future, just tell me, okay?”
“Yes yes, I got it, Mom.”
The stern-faced Patriarch Nie also couldn’t hold back and hastily said, “If you’re bullied on the outside, come back here and tell Dad, alright? Dad will stand up for you.”
On the side, Nameless Nie, who was neglected and only had a plate of plain vegetables in front of him, interjected, “I’m full. Bye-bye.”
Can I keep eating this meal?! Can I?!
Patriarch Nie promptly rebuked, “Sit back down! Your sister is finally back, so where do you want to go party, huh?!”
Nameless Nie: “…”
What you are doing is domestic abuse! Outright abuse!
…
Due to her real parents’ over-enthusiasm, Ye Wanwan didn’t get any free time, and she had to spend time with Baby Tangtang at night.
Hence, it wasn’t until the next morning that Ye Wanwan rushed to Asura’s headquarters.
However, she didn’t see Si Yehan and ran into Jiang Yan, who bristled every time he saw her.
Si Yehan probably knew she and Jiang Yan didn’t get along, so he kept Lin Que by his side most of the time lately while Jiang Yan stayed back guarding the headquarters.
