Chapter 903: The Hidden Chess Piece (7)
Ling Tianya teasingly looked at Zhong Chuchu. She liked this lady. She was pure.
Is she is really able to capture Du Gang, then to Du Gang, that was a matter to be celebrated.
“Okay, okay, okay, okay!” Zhong Chuchu excitedly nodded her head.
“What’s okay?” Butler Zhong had come into the kitchen and glared at Zhong Chuchu, “What have you bothered the young miss with again?”
“Nothing, father…” Zhong Chuchu pouted. It was clear that this lady did not know how to lie. One could tell that she was lying with one look.
Butler Zhong glared at her and then said to Ling Tianya, “Young Miss, I’ve spoiled my daughter since birth. Sometimes, she doesn’t watch her boundaries when she speaks. Don’t lower yourself to her level.”
“I won’t” Ling Tianya’s eyes were smiling, “I quite enjoy Zhong Chuchu’s personality. Anyhow, she didn’t bother me. It is me that is bothering her to teach me to make soup.”
“So, it’s like that.” Butler Zhong once again glared at Zhong Chuchu, “Then tell the Young Miss well. You are not allowed to be disrespectful. Do you understand?”
“I understand, father…”
Originally, it was because Butler Zhong was worried about his daughter that he came to check up on her in the kitchen. There were still many tasks left that he had to complete. Seeing that Zhong Chuchu and Ling Tianya were getting along well together, Butler Zhong was very happy and therefore left the kitchen to complete his own tasks.
Just as he walked out, he saw Zhang Ke, who was lugging a large box.
Butler Zhong did not recognize Zhang Ke. However, the Ruan Family’s security was tight, and therefore, someone who was let in by the guards must be a familiar person.
“May I ask who you are?” Butler Zhong respectfully asked.
Zhang Ke politely smiled, “I am the teacher’s…guest, your young miss’s a.s.sistant. I’m Zhang Ke.”
“So, you’re the a.s.sistant.” Butler Zhong slightly nodded, “The young miss is in the kitchen. The kitchen is over there. Do you need me to accompany you?”
Zhang Ke looked at the stranger in front of her, “Are you the new butler?”
“Yes, my last name is Zhong.”
“You have the same surname as Mr. Zhong!” Zhang Ke giggled.
“Yes, it certainly is a coincidence.” Butler Zhong maintained his respectful manner.
Zhang Ke waved her hand at Butler Zhong, “I can go there myself. There’s no need to inconvenience you.”
“Okay.” Butler Zhong nodded and then went on to attend to his own affairs.
After taking a couple of steps, Butler Zhong stopped and turned around to look at Zhang Ke, who was walking to the kitchen lugging the box.
He was quite surprised. This woman’s steps were firm and steady, and the muscles in her legs are very developed, so why was she purposely acting like she was unstable?
Inside the kitchen, Ling Tianya and Zhong Chuchu had finished most of the prep needed for the soup. The only thing left was for it to simmer slowly.
Ling Tiaya turned around and saw Zhang Ke. Ling Tianya was surprised, “Zhang Ke, why are you here? You’re hurt. Why are you not staying in the hospital to treat your wound?”
Zhang Ke giggled, “It’s boring staying in the hospital alone. Plus, it’s only a small wound. I won’t die from it…”
“You still can’t be careless.” Ling Tianya looked at the box in Zhang Ke’s hands and then raised her forehead, “Your shoulder is wounded, why did you lug over such a large box? What’s inside that you need to ignore your own wound to bring it over?”
Hearing that Ling Tianya was worried about her wound, Zhang Ke lowered her head, and her eyes lightly flashed, “These are the materials that I have prepared for you for your new book. I was afraid that you would need it over these couple of days. If I’m in the hospital, then it will hinder your progress on your new book. Therefore, I brought it over.”
As she spoke, Zhang Ke moved her right shoulder, “My right shoulder is wounded. My left shoulder is fine. I used my left hand to lug the box. It won’t affect the wound.”
