Chapter 19: Chapter 19: Has your Fourth Master ever been abandoned by a woman before?
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The skin was a dark yellow, and the eyes a pale grey, with a heavy fringe of bangs covering the forehead, a plain, unremarkable little face.
The figure was slender and tall, clad in an oversized T-shirt and jeans.
The shape did bear some resemblance to that woman.
Realizing he had actually thought of that woman, Gu Siting was momentarily dazed.
Coming back to his senses, Little Snowball was already in the arms of the woman interviewing for the Organizer position.
After burrowing into Ming Yao’s embrace, Little Snowball approached her closely and sniffed the scent on her.
Seeing it sniffing around, Ming Yao smacked it on the top of its head.
A familiar slap.
Little Snowball looked up with round eyes and meowed at Ming Yao.
Steward Zhong saw Little Snowball nestle comfortably in Ming Yao’s arms and a hint of surprise showed in his eyes.
Had Little Snowball’s temper gotten better recently?
Last time it allowed the wife to hold it, and now Gu Fuzhen?
Gu Siting put down the document, his slender fingers tapping on the back of the sofa, “Let me take a look at the resume.”
Steward Zhong promptly handed over the resume.
Gu Siting glanced at the name on the resume.
Gu Fuzhen?
The surname Gu?
Why did this name seem a bit odd?
Gu Siting had neither the time nor the energy to waste on such trivial matters, he said indifferently, “If everything has been verified and there’s no problem, you can hire her.”
Steward Zhong nodded.
Coming out of the master bedroom, Zhong briefed Ming Yao on the work hours.
“When organizing and arranging, do it when the Fourth Master isn’t in his room.”
Ming Yao nodded.
“Some clothes of Fourth Master are taken by the dry-cleaning staff, while everyday clothes are hand-washed by Aunt Zhong. Once the clothes are dry, Aunt Zhong will bring them to you.”
Ming Yao looked at Zhong, “From now on, let me wash Fourth Master’s daily clothes!”
Steward Zhong, “…”
“Don’t worry, I only need one salary. Steward Zhong, Aunt Zhong is getting old, she has to cook and clean every day; washing clothes is something you shouldn’t trouble her with anymore!”
“You’re her husband, don’t just think about the Fourth Master, also consider your own wife!”
The Imperial Garden was vast, and aside from weekly visits by hourly workers for a thorough cleaning, only Steward Zhong, Aunt Zhong, and an Organizer comprised the staff of three servants.
It was because Fourth Master had a cold and aloof character, disliking too many outsiders at home.
Seeing Ming Yao’s diligence, Steward Zhong’s impression of her improved even more.
He pointed towards the third floor, “Normally, don’t go to the third floor. Even if you do, do not go to the room at the end of the corridor, that’s Fourth Master’s taboo.”
Upon hearing this, Ming Yao became interested, “Is that where Fourth Master’s beloved woman used to live?”
Steward Zhong, “……”
“Did Fourth Master suffer a romantic trauma before marrying Ming Yao, being abandoned by a woman?”
Steward Zhong coughed, “Gu Fuzhen, you need to remember, in this place, don’t ask what you shouldn’t ask. Otherwise, not only will you lose your job, but I also won’t be able to help you.”
Ming Yao didn’t press the issue further.
With her experience, Tyrant Gu was temperamental, indifferent, and unsociable; she was sure he must have had some unknown past!
But she had no interest in uncovering it—what was most important now was to find a way to stay by his side and cure her insomnia as soon as possible.
Steward Zhong asked Aunt Zhong to take Ming Yao to the servant room.
Of course, the servant room in the Imperial Garden wouldn’t be bad, equipped with furniture and even a separate bathroom in its more than ten square meters.
From now on, she was officially a third-class citizen here!
After settling her luggage, Ming Yao took out her phone to have a look.
Upon turning it on, wow, there were quite a few missed calls.
Before she could make out who had called, a call marked as “Madam Ming” came in.
As soon as Ming Yao answered, Madam Ming’s displeased scolding voice came through, “Have you grown bold enough to hit your sister now? Come back here immediately, kneel down, and apologize to your sister!”
