Chapter 942: Don’t Overthink Things
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The next day, Su Wan moved out of the Shanshui villa and moved to the headquarters of the Siswell family.
Fiennes placed her in a small house in the north courtyard. It was surrounded by a lush bamboo forest and looked exceptionally quiet.
Probably because Su Wan mentioned “respect,” Fiennes did give Su Wan enough face.
On the day she had just moved into the Siswell family, a row of guards and maids, as well as a butler who looked to be in his thirties, came to greet her.
Su Wan’s scalp was really numb from this kind of situation.
However, Diya quickly brought her mother to give Su Wan a show of force.
After all, one had to put on a good show.
Diya put on a decent show, but her mother, Madam w.a.n.g, really did not like Su Wan. From the corners of her eyes, she looked at Su Wan as if she was looking at a country b.u.mpkin.
She was extremely disdainful.
Naturally, Su Wan retaliated in a neither servile nor overbearing manner.
This made Madam w.a.n.g extremely unhappy.
This was the first time Su Wan had seen the mistress of the Siswell family in name. She had previously felt that Diya’s unruly and willful character had come from being spoiled by others.
Now that she saw Madam w.a.n.g, Su Wan finally understood.
Madam w.a.n.g was shrewd and capable at a glance. Moreover, she was too arrogant in her bones. Diya’s character was probably learned from her mother.
…
Madam w.a.n.g and Su Wan had an argument and ended on bad terms.
As for the remaining guards and maids, all of them were like air. They looked at each other as if nothing had happened before.
Could it be that Fiennes meant to keep a few people here.
Perhaps his real purpose was to have them keep an eye on her in the name of serving her?!
Su Wan glanced at the guards and maids with a headache and threw a sentence at the middle-aged butler indifferently.
“What is the meaning of these people being here?”
The middle-aged Butler was always smiling, as if he didn’t notice Su Wan’s displeasure.
“Oh, these people, of course, are staying to take care of Miss Su’s daily life.”
Su Wan clenched her hands a little when she heard that. She only felt her temples throbbing violently.
She ignored the row of guards and walked directly to the few pretty maids.
She pointed at a girl who looked the youngest among them. Her eyes were big and her face was round and cute.
“I don’t like so many people following me. If I really want one, I’ll keep this little girl. What’s your name?”
The round-faced little maid was stunned. She obviously did not expect Su Wan to choose her among the group of people.
She bowed her head to Su Wan, feeling overwhelmed by the favor. She stumbled a few times before she say her name.
“I… My name is Xiao Yuan. Yuan has the same writing as a round pancake.”
Su Wan smiled when she heard that. It was the first time she saw someone introduce her with food.
She looked like a foodie.
When the middle-aged butler saw Su Wan and Xiao Yuan talking, he hesitated for a moment and looked at Su Wan with a troubled expression.
“Miss Su, this is against the rules. If Young Master Fiennes knew that I only gave you a maid, he would definitely question me.”
Su Wan glanced at the middle-aged butler, her tone was indifferent with a hint of impatience.
“I only want one. Otherwise, I might as well give up all of them. You can decide for yourself. If there is a problem, just let young master Fiennes come to me directly.”
In fact, Su Wan really did not want to even have one of them. However, if that was the case, it would probably arouse more suspicion.
Su Wan’s words were so arrogant that more than a dozen people present could not help but look at her a few more times.
What did she mean by asking young master Fiennes to come to her directly?
Previously, Su Wan had dared to challenge Madam w.a.n.g at every turn, which had already shocked them. They did not expect that she would actually dare to ask Fiennes to come to her on his own initiative now?
Was she trying to flaunt her power, or was she trying to rely on her current popularity to make young master Fiennes give in to her?
Everyone could not help but curl their lips. At the same time, they could not help but sigh at the different fates of different people. She was a child of commoners, but who would have thought that some people could turn from a sparrow into a phoenix?!
The middle-aged Butler was also shocked by Su Wan’s “boasting”.
This young girl called Su Wan was too ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth!
Right now, not to mention the Siswell family, perhaps even in the entire G.o.d’s Palace and beyond, there were not many people who dared to be so arrogant towards young master Fiennes.
“Miss Su, you might not know how busy Young Master Fiennes is on a daily basis. I don’t think there is a need to bother him with such a small matter, right?”
As the middle-aged Butler spoke, he looked at Su Wan hesitantly. In his heart, he had already determined that with Su Wan’s character, even if she married into the Siswell family, she would be trampled down sooner or later!
After all, Su Wan was a decent commoner, and she did not have any family backing her!
When Su Wan heard this, her face suddenly turned cold.
“Is there anything that can be busier than the matters of your fiancée?! I said that I only want one maid. I don’t mind if you report to Fiennes or not, but don’t let any extra people in!”
After Su Wan said this, she immediately took large strides and left.
All that was left was everyone staring at each other with their mouths agape, a mess in the wind.
Why did they feel that Su Wan’s personality was even more willful than Miss Diya’s!
When they had watched her and young master Fiennes’ wedding news conference on the screen, Su Wan had always looked embarra.s.sed. They had thought that this beauty was a submissive and quiet person!
…
On the other side, Su Wan had already walked quickly to her own courtyard. The maid she had chosen, Xiao Yuan, immediately followed her.
Su Wan first asked her a few questions. This Xiao Yuan girl, who was ignorant of worldly affairs, quickly revealed everything she knew.
In the end, she even blinked at Su Wan with a look of envy.
“Miss Su, how did you and Young Master Fiennes meet? Young Master Fiennes treats you really well. He’s too romantic…”
In Xiao Yuan’s opinion, it was a blessing from Su Wan’s previous life that Fiennes had taken a fancy to her!
Moreover, young master Fiennes must have spoilt Su Wan for her to be so arrogant previously!
As long as Su Wan married into the Siswell family, it would be a leap between n.o.bility and commonner. It was really a real-life version of a sparrow becoming a phoenix!
…
Su Wan glanced at Xiao Yuan casually. She really couldn’t bear to break this girl’s maiden heart.
She could not say that she had no feelings for Fiennes at all. Even if Fiennes had married her, it was only to lure Jiang Xuecheng out, right?
She shook her head at Xiao Yuan with a calm expression.
“Don’t overthink it. In any case, it’s not romantic between Fiennes and me.”
It was ridiculous when she thought about it. She was a woman who had been married before. She did not expect that she would have to hold a second wedding with someone else.
Su Wan sighed. Suddenly, there was a sense of loneliness on her face.
At this time, where was the Jiang Xuecheng that she had been longing for?
