Chapter 337: Clues About Her Past

This was what she had repeatedly reminded Qiaomeng of. She was very clear about Miss Ye’s taboos, so although Miss Ye was not present, she didn’t dare to be too presumptuous. She had also warned her daughter that she must absolutely not commit any taboos.
“Auntie Zhuang, it’s obvious that your daughter didn’t listen to you!” Ye Lengan said coldly with a sneer, “Not only did you invite a bunch of strangers to my house, but you even went into the alchemy room. There��s no need to hurriedly deny it since there are surveillance cameras recording everything. I won’t wrongly accuse you.”
Auntie Zhuang was stunned. She wanted to argue but did not know where to start. Obviously, Qiaomeng did not take her advice to heart, which was why she had angered Miss Ye.
“Auntie Zhuang, although you haven’t worked for me for long, I think I’ve treated you quite well!” Ye Lengan continued, “Compared to other employers, I should be considered pretty good. It’s a pity that you don’t seem to appreciate it at all!”
“Miss Ye, this is all my fault.” Auntie Zhuang lowered her head, her voice choked with sobs. “But we only invited a few people over. We didn’t damage anything in the villa. Please, let us off this time! In the future, I will repay you no matter what I have to do,’
“No need for that.” Ye Lengan raised her hand and sneered. ” I can’t afford servants like you. Furthermore, a mistake is a mistake. Just because I didn’t suffer any losses doesn’t mean I’ll deny my identity as a victim! I will get to the bottom of this matter. However, don’t worry. Since I didn’t lose anything this time, it’s very likely you won’t have to go to jail. But having a criminal record will be unavoidable.’
She was already showing them great benevolence by not interfering with the outcome. She didn’t think she needed to be lenient with such ungrateful people,
“No!” Upon hearing Ye Leng’an’s words, Auntie Zhuang immediately became agitated. “Miss Ye, I acted on my own this time. It has nothing to do with Qiaomeng. I’m willing to take all the responsibility. Even if I have to go to jail, it doesn’t matter. I only hope you won’t pursue charges against Qiaomeng.”
She was old, so having a criminal record didn’t matter. But Qiaomeng was different. Qiaomeng was still young and a university student. She had a bright future ahead of her. If she had a criminal record because of this incident, what kind of future would she have?
“Your matters have nothing to do with me.” Ye Lengan said coldly, “The police will investigate everything properly. They definitely won’t wrongly accuse anyone. Auntie Zhuang, I came here today out of consideration for our past relationship as mistress and servant. From now on, you’re on your own!” With that, Ye Lengan stood up and was about to leave.
Auntie Zhuang wanted to call out to Ye Lengan, but she finally held her tongue. Because even if she called out to Ye Lengan, she didn’t know what else to say. She had already pleaded for mercy many times, but Ye Lengan clearly did not care.
To explain? She couldn’t explain it clearly either, because it was indeed her who took advantage of the owner’s absence to occupy the house and claim it was hers, even inviting so many people over. No matter how one looked at it, it was her fault.
As she watched Ye Leng’an’s departing figure, she slumped back into her chair, her face ashen. She knew that she was really done for this time. After an incident like this, plus having a criminal record, it would be impossible for her to find work as a housekeeper in the future. What employer would be willing to hire a domestic helper who once tried to occupy their employer’s home?
Not only her but Qiaomeng as well. It wasn’t easy for Qiaomeng to get into university, but in the end, because of this matter, she would have a criminal record. What kind of future would she have then?
Thinking of this, Auntie Zhuang could not help but shed tears of regret.
After leaving the detention room, Ye Lengan did not leave immediately.
Instead, she went to inform the police that other than Auntie Zhuang and Li Qiaomeng as the main culprits, she did not intend to pursue charges against the others. This was because Li Qiaomengs classmates had indeed come to the villa as guests without knowing about it.
She did this not to show how magnanimous she was, but because she felt it was unnecessary. Moreover, even if she really investigated them, there would not be any substantial outcome. After all, those people did not have any malicious intent..
