Chapter 842: Chapter 842: She Might Catch the Young Master’s Eye
“Auntie, what happened to your voice?” Kangkang suddenly asked her.
An Ruo was taken aback for a moment. She stared at the little one in front of her, wanting so much to hold him in her arms and tell him that she was Mom, that Mom was back.
However, she couldn’t acknowledge them; she could only act as a stranger in front of them.
An Ruo looked at him lovingly and softly smiled, “Auntie hurt her voice when she was little, so it’s always been .”
Her tenderness suddenly gave Kangkang the feeling that it was Mom speaking. This was how Mom talked to him, her voice very gentle, making him feel deeply cherished all the time.
The little one broke into a smile and assured her, “Auntie, don’t worry, Grandpa Tao will surely hire you. I’ll talk to him, and he’ll give you the job.”
An Ruo curved her lips, wanting so much to pat his head, “Young Master, thank you. You are a kind-hearted child.”
“Auntie, come with us inside.” He reached out to take her hand, and Han Xiaofen was momentarily stunned.
This was her first time seeing the Young Master so close to someone.
She gave An Ruo a friendly smile: “Since the Young Master said so, your job should be no problem. We’ll be colleagues from now on. If there’s anything you don’t understand, feel free to ask me anytime.”
An Ruo looked up at her for a moment and nodded with a smile.
Han Xiaofen really seemed to be a kind-hearted woman; she must be good to Kangkang, or else he wouldn’t be so close to her.
Very smoothly, An Ruo was hired by Uncle Tao to get a job cleaning the garden. The first step went very smoothly; as long as she could get in, she could approach them closely and know their lives.
In the first two days, An Ruo worked on cleaning the garden. She worked hard, eager to do any task, and the other servants were very satisfied with her.
Because her voice was too unpleasant to hear, she tried her best not to speak, always staying silent, so quiet as if she didn’t exist.
Another two days passed, and during this time, An Ruo learned a lot of information.
Han Xiaofen indeed had a different presence here, not only because she was diligent, kind, and sincere, but more importantly, because her appearance resembles the Young Master’s mother. Everyone speculated that perhaps the Young Master might take a fancy to her.
She might very well become the young lady of the Tang Family; therefore, everyone treated her specially, and her status gradually became special.
Of course, the servants’ assumption that she might become the Young Lady wasn’t unfounded. Just looking at how much the Young Master liked her and how Tang Yuchen kept her around to care for the Young Master showed her status in their eyes.
After hearing these gossips, An Ruo naturally felt quite down. If it were other women, she might confidently think she posed no threat.
But Han Xiaofen was different; her looks were similar to hers. She couldn’t figure out what Yuchen intended by keeping her around.
After finishing the cleaning, An Ruo was about to go do other things when she saw Kangkang running onto the lawn with a soccer ball to practice.
She hadn’t seen much of him these days; her work was in the back garden, and he didn’t come here often, so seeing him today, she was quite pleasantly surprised.
Watching from afar as the little one played happily by himself, An Ruo couldn’t help but show a loving smile in her eyes.
