Shen Xinzhu realized she was being played by Lu Xingzhi, and said angrily.
Lu Xingzhi nodded seriously and said honestly, "Yeah! Unlike you, I’m not noble, chasing love or anything. I’m all about the money! I’m just a vain, greedy, and lustful person."
Shen Xinzhu was truly infuriated by Lu Xingzhi, but she had no position to speak.
"Miss Lu, is this really okay with you? You’re not suited for Brother Three."
"Yes, that’s right. But why don’t you go tell Huo Jincheng." Lu Xingzhi cast a final glance at Zhuo Yixiang down below who was paying attention to this, "Housekeeper Zhuo, I’ll trouble you to entertain Miss Shen personally, although your master said she’s unimportant, since she’s here, she’s a guest."
Lu Xingzhi turned around coldly, not bothering to say she’s not suited for Huo Jincheng. She wasn’t trying to match up to Huo Jincheng anyway!
If it weren’t for this so-called marriage contract, she wouldn’t be here.
As she ascended the final steps, she stopped, "If you’re capable, just steal Huo Jincheng away. If he truly cared about you, I wouldn’t be the mistress here."
A mere marriage contract can’t trap Huo Jincheng unless it’s a woman he doesn’t care about.
Though Lu Xingzhi was only eighteen, her thoughts were already mature.
Huo Jincheng was merely being responsible to her.
To say he’s good to her out of affection, she simply couldn’t believe it.
"Miss Lu, you’re too arrogant." Zhuo Yixiang felt that someone like her didn’t deserve to be the mistress of the Huo Family.
"Housekeeper Zhuo, you’ve overstepped." Lu Xingzhi’s words carried significant authority. "I won’t hold it against you today, but if there’s a next time, you really shouldn’t expect to stay here. Remember, you’re just a housekeeper."
After returning to her room, Lu Xingzhi wasn’t in a good mood.
Even when Huo Jincheng came home from work and called her down for dinner, she didn’t come down.
"Sir, since Miss Lu..." Zhuo Yixiang wanted to say, since Lu Xingzhi wasn’t hungry, he would eat first without waiting for her.
Before he could finish, he was sternly questioned by Huo Jincheng: "What did you call her? Miss Lu? I remember when I brought her back on the first day, I told you to call her Madam. What? Are my words useless now? If that’s the case, you all should leave. I won’t keep disobedient people here."
Huo Jincheng’s voice sliced through the hall like icy daggers, "It seems someone here gave her a hard time. Zhuo Yixiang, I value your ability as a housekeeper. Or do you think you should be the one in charge?"
"Sir, I absolutely have no such thoughts. I was just..."
"Your just and your thoughts are insignificant. None of my affairs require your approval. I’m paying you; you only have the authority to execute. If you can manage it, then stay."
Zhuo Yixiang finally felt a chill and fear.
Indeed, he almost forgot what kind of person Huo Jincheng was.
Huo Jincheng’s words made all the servants in the villa nervous, wondering if they had upset Lu Xingzhi.
They were very satisfied with their work here, after all, the conditions were excellent.
Compared to those working in large companies, it was no worse.
After leaving these words, Huo Jincheng went to find Lu Xingzhi.
He walked to the door and knocked on her room door.
"Uncle, did you come to see me?" Lu Xingzhi was actually sleeping, she hadn’t felt well earlier today.
