Transmigration: On the Gossip Front
Chapter 2120 - 2121: The First Wife Who Left With Nothing 40
Back in the room, looking at the snoring Han Xue, Lin Yu angrily slammed the door and left. He was so upset earlier, acting like the sky was falling, but as soon as he turned around, she fell asleep just like that.
If he weren’t worried about scaring Han Xue awake with a loud voice, he really wanted to vent more fiercely.
Feeling depressed, Lin Yu abruptly looked up and saw the maid glaring at him with a displeased expression. Damn it, how could he forget about the maid’s presence?
Clearly, he was the main provider, the one supporting the family, yet not just Han Xue’s family but also the Han Family looked down on him.
Even the maid who he paid, dared to look down on him, how could he not be driven crazy?
Previously, regardless of how uncomfortable he felt inside, he had to endure it, suppress his anger. As long as he could smoothly achieve his goal, these small grievances were bearable and must be endured.
But today’s provocations were too much, Lin Yu really didn’t want to endure it anymore. "Oh, even a maid looks down on me, you don’t even think about who pays your salary."
"Taking a salary I paid, monitoring me, saying all sorts of nasty things about me, get out," Lin Yu got more frustrated as he thought about it.
He wanted to rely on the Han Family to rise smoothly, yet didn’t Han Xue also exploit him?
The in-laws were slightly better than useless, maybe a bit better than Han Xue, but in the Han Family, not to mention Mr. Han’s dissatisfaction, if it weren’t because he is his son, people wouldn’t even look at them properly.
If he hadn’t married Han Xue, presumably, they’d be left destitute, and once Mr. Han passes, they would be sent packing out of the Han Family.
Thinking of this, Lin Yu suddenly felt emboldened, not bothering to show the maid a pleasant face, since the worst scenario was just confrontation.
The maid had taken care of Han Xue for many years, watching her grow up, knowing her temperament, and aware that the Han Family fundamentally looked down on Lin Yu. As someone who had taken care of Han Xue for years, she too naturally looked down on Lin Yu.
She knew Lin Yu disliked her, but could only endure since she was part of the Han Family, she had to maintain some dignity for the Han Family she represented. Who would’ve thought today someone would not give her face, which made her unhappy.
"I was appointed by the master and mistress to take care of Miss," the maid said proudly.
Lin Yu sneered a few times, "Fine."
"Remember your current behavior." He immediately picked up the phone to call Han Xue’s father.
Han Xue’s father looked at the caller ID. Honestly, he really wanted to ignore the call, but he understood that he had to pacify this son-in-law now. After all, he offended the elder brother and nephew this time.
To live well, he could only hope that Lin Yu would rise smoothly.
Mr. Han quickly thought of ways to appease Lin Yu, yet didn’t expect that upon answering the call, what he heard was Lin Yu complaining, accusing the maid of looking down on him.
Mr. Han listened to this: Since the maid looks down on you, just fire her.
Lin Yu knew that to appease him, they’d certainly reprimand the maid somewhat, but didn’t expect they could directly fire her, how could he not be secretly pleased?
Raising his voice directly: So, you say I can fire the maid, right?
The maid didn’t expect Mr. Han to agree to her dismissal immediately, she became flustered. How could this be, when they mentioned Lin Yu, they completely looked down on him, otherwise, why would she have this attitude?
Who could’ve predicted that the Han Family would side with Lin Yu? The maid was really a bit panicked, though she could find work elsewhere, but such an easy job was truly rare.
After chatting with Mr. Han for a while, Lin Yu turned to the maid, "You heard, pack your things, head back to Capital City."
Upon hearing this, the maid panicked further, "Mr. Lin, Mr. Lin, I was wrong, I really was."
She couldn’t return to Capital City, going back would surely land her in trouble.
"Don’t ask me, haven’t you always been tough?"
"Haven’t you always looked down on me? And now you want me to take care of you?" Lin Yu waved his hand, "Alright, go pack your things, father-in-law said they’ve already arranged for someone new."
Lin Yu finished speaking, got up and went straight to the study to get busy, there was still a lot to handle, he didn’t want to waste time on a maid.
"Also, don’t think you can stay by talking to Han Xue."
"Think about what you’ve done before." Lin Yu snorted coldly, "The Han Family looks down on me because they are the Han Family, they have the capital to look down on me."
"But who are you, just a maid working in the Han Family for years, but at the end of the day, you’re still a maid."
"If you tell Han Xue that the maid at home can look down on her husband, how do you think she would feel, maybe she’d realize that it’s actually you looking down on me." Lin Yu snorted coldly.
The maid’s body stiffened involuntarily, if Lin Yu and Han Xue talked about this, could she still leave the Han Family smoothly?
"I understand." Since pleading with Lin Yu, couldn’t leave her stay, then there’s no need to beg.
Lin Yu glanced at the turned-away maid, coldly snorting in his heart, this fellow doesn’t think she’ll have a good life after returning to the Mainland?
Earlier, father-in-law promised over the phone, absolutely wouldn’t let this person have a good life.
A maid who dared to look down on the family, once this spreads, who would hire her?
Besides, her ability to work was incomparable to the previous maid. He still remembered the former maid they hired, didn’t have such a high salary, worked efficiently, and never cast a jaundiced eye on anyone.
Returning to the study, Lin Yu sat before the computer for a long time, yet couldn’t find an opportunity to strike.
He thought the task now was to explain to Han Xue’s uncle and others that these rumors weren’t spread by him.
He’s competing with them for major projects, but wouldn’t stoop so low, after all, it’s the Han Family Foundation, even as the Han Family son-in-law, he’s clueless about the foundation and couldn’t access such information.
But just going to them, would they believe him?
After all, he’s already an enemy of the Han Family’s main branch, sigh, what to do.
After considering for a long time, Lin Yu decided he should contact Zhang Yu and hear her thoughts.
Zhang Yu was ready to rest, hearing the phone ring, thought it might be something urgent, picked it up and saw it was Lin Yu calling.
Yawning, forget it, don’t want to pick up at this hour, probably nothing good.
After ringing for a long time, the ringtone stopped, Zhang Yu knew it must have automatically disconnected.
Not long after, the phone indicated a message received, Zhang Yu opened it to see Lin Yu saying he needed her advice.
Advice from her? Zhang Yu didn’t bother, put the phone down and prepared to sleep.
Just then, the phone buzzed again, notifying a bank transfer received, marked as consultation fee.
