Chapter 145: Chapter 145 The Maid Who Pretends to be a Weakling Chapter 145: Chapter 145 The Maid Who Pretends to be a Weakling On the second floor of the Wen Family villa, Tian Mama hid by the window, watching the mother and daughter whispering secretly in the garden outside the window.
At this moment, Lin Yueqin, who was usually extremely arrogant, had a look of terror on her face and was as pale as death, resembling a startled bird, looking around in every direction.
Wen Nianyou, even more arrogant than her, also appeared angry and flustered, clenching her phone tightly and whispering something to Lin Yueqin.
Tian Mama couldn’t hear their voices at all, but she still knew the entire content of their conversation.
They had always been very cautious, making sure to avoid others during their talks, and most of the time their conversation was quite cryptic.
Unfortunately, they didn’t know that she, an inconspicuous maid, could read lips.
Ye Chuyi had already transferred five million dollars, which she now regretted, feeling that she had asked for too little.
She had thought that Ye Chuyi wasn’t very wealthy, believing five million to be an extortionate amount, but since the other party paid so readily, she certainly couldn’t tell her so easily.
Of course, no matter how much money Ye Chuyi gave, she wasn’t going to reveal the secret for the time being. At the very least, she would wait until she had milked Wen Nianyou and Lin Yueqin dry.
Meanwhile, the mother and daughter in the garden were still blaming each other.
Wen Nianyou felt a chill run down her spine, her eyes burning with fury as if she wanted to eat someone alive, “You’re so stupid, how could such a big secret have been exposed? Are you trying to kill me, you want to kill me!”
Lin Yueqin was no less terrified, “How could I possibly let others know about this? I’ve never told anyone, wouldn’t that be asking for death? Could it be that you let something slip in front of friends while you were out having fun?”
“Have I gone mad? Would I go out and talk about the kind of thing that could get me killed? I wouldn’t dare even to mention it!”
Wen Nianyou surveyed the entire villa, “Could there be someone in the house who has glimpsed our secret?”
“Impossible! I’ve already chased away that servant who said that little bastard looked like Lady Wen, and anyone else who would know? I just got rid of one last month who said we were too close and looked like mother and daughter.”
“Isn’t there still one left?”
“Tian Qiugui?”
Lin Yueqin thought for a while and shook her head, “Impossible, she’s just a brainless idiot, who only knows how to work her head off all day, can barely speak properly, how could she have the ability to blackmail you.”
“Whether it’s her or not, we’ll know if we ask, right? Better to kill a thousand by mistake than to let one go!”
As she spoke, Wen Nianyou walked towards the villa.
Lin Yueqin followed her in, and they found Tian Mama in the study on the third floor.
She was kneeling on the ground, wiping the floor with a bucket of water next to her, the floor was spotlessly clean and shining, while the water in the bucket had turned black.
Because she had been doing heavy labor all year round, her finger joints were thick, her hands rough, and since she was often bullied by Lin Yueqin, she wasn’t well-fed, making her look particularly frail.
But, over the years, she never thought to resist, was honest and slow-witted, always nodding and bowing, and never once complained to Lady Wen.
That’s why she was still working in the Wen Family, because Lin Yueqin needed someone to do the chores, and after chasing all the other servants away, all the work fell to her alone.
The door to the study closed and then was locked from the inside.
Tian Qiugui knew the main show was about to begin.
She bowed her waist, got up from the floor, and spoke with utmost respect, “Miss, do you need to use the study? I’ve finished wiping it.”
Her reply was a vicious kick.
Wen Nianyou unceremoniously knocked the just-risen Tian Qiugui back to the ground, her voice sharp, “Speak up, was it you?!”
Tian Qiugui, in severe pain, curled up on the ground, a look of shock on her face, “Miss, what are you talking about? Is the floor not clean enough? I’m sorry, Miss, I’ll wipe it again right away.”
Lin Yueqin lifted the bucket and poured most of the dirty water directly over her head, “Still denying it? It was you who sent the threatening text to Miss!”
Tian Qiugui, drenched and unable to open her eyes, crawled up after a while, pleading on her knees, “I didn’t, Miss, how dare I threaten you? I never went to school, I can’t read, Miss, I can’t send texts.”
