"What?" Although Second Miss's voice was soft, Lin Wanrong and the two sisters-in-law, Xiao Furen, heard it clearly.

  Not only were the big sister and Xiao's wife stunned, but even Lin Wanrong himself didn't dare to believe his ears. Was this little girl crazy? He understood Xiao Yu's kindness, she was saying so to clear Lin Wanrong's name, but did it have to cost her own reputation?

  Lin Wanrong sighed, forget it, this Xiao Yufeng is so bitter, no wonder she wants to help the Xiao family get out of trouble, seeing her sincerity, I'll just help them a bit.

  Seeing Xiao's young lady and wife with an unbelievable expression, Lin Wanrong calmed down thoroughly in his heart. He said to Xiao Yuexiang: "I know that the second miss is deliberately speaking out to save me, but a woman's chastity is as important as her life, and it's absolutely not allowed to speak recklessly."

  "Yes, Yu Xiang, you can't talk nonsense. You're still young and not yet at the age of choosing a husband, where did you get this private engagement from?" Madam Xiao hastily grabbed Xiao Yu Xiang's hand and said.

  Xiao Yu Ruo didn't say a word, but instead coldly stared at Lin Wan Rong, her heart also unclear about what she was thinking.

  For this sentimental and affectionate little girl, Lin Wanrong sighed: "Elder sister, madam, may I have a word with you?"

  Xiao's wife looked at him and thought to herself, "This matter needs to be discussed in a private place so that Lin San won't spread it around." "Lin San, come with me," said Xiao Yu Ruo.

  "No way, I'm going too." The second young lady hastily grabbed her sister's arm and looked at Lin Wanrong with concern.

  "You little girl, haven't you made enough trouble?" Mrs. Xiao scolded, her face stern. Xiao Yuxiang didn't dare to resist her mother and could only watch as the three of them entered the adjacent room.

  This was a quiet little house, once inside, the atmosphere became somewhat oppressive, and neither of the two women from the Xiao family spoke.

  "Madam, elder sister, what the second young lady just said was only to defend me and she spoke without thinking, please don't take it seriously."

  Xiao Yu Ruo gave him a glance and snorted: "What, you still think we can't really be together?"

  Xiao's wife sighed and said, "Lin San, I've also heard some things about you. Yu Shuang is still young, sometimes her temper can be a bit biased, don't misunderstand."

  "Please don't worry, madam. I won't misunderstand. The second young lady is still young and sometimes thinks things are interesting just because they're novel. Once the infatuation passes, everything will return to normal."

  "Then you make a vow that you will never have any thoughts about Yu Shuang again—" Xiao Yu Ruo said.

  "Damn it, you're still pushing your luck! Although he understands that the mother and daughter are trying to protect their daughter (sister), they still look down on him, which makes him uncomfortable. What a ridiculous excuse, isn't it just because they look down on my status as a servant? If it weren't for that little girl's persistent begging, I wouldn't bother tolerating your condescending attitude."

  As soon as he thought of Xiao Yu Shuang, Lin Wan Rong felt a bit better. No matter what, the little girl's trust in him was very touching. He let out a cold hum and said: "Big sister, if you believe in me, I won't make an oath. You can see that even if I do make an oath a thousand times, it would be useless if you don't believe me."

  Xiao Yu said: "Your words are also right. Since that's the case, I hope you can put your words into action."

  "Second Miss is so innocent and lively, with a heart full of emotions. I really like her, but it's not about romance between men and women. She's still young, and I just see her as a little sister. How the mistress and elder miss view me, I don't care, but Second Miss mustn't be suspected." Lin Wanrong said with a clear conscience.

  The door was pushed open with a bang, and Xiao Yuxiang stood pale-faced outside the door, staring blankly at Lin Wanrong, her eyes empty and colorless.

  Xiao Yu Ruo was startled and hastily said: "Yu Shuang, how are you here?" She had a deep understanding of her younger sister's temper, this was a stubborn girl who once made up her mind, it would be very difficult to make her change it.

  Xiao Yuxiang seemed to have not heard her sister's words, gazing at Lin Wanrong and slowly said: "Lin San, what you just said, is it all true? Do you really not like me?"

  "How dare you!" Madam Xiao angrily said, "This servant girl and this lowly person are secretly communicating with each other, what kind of behavior is this?"

  Xiao Yuxiang seemed to have not heard her mother's words, her face was pale, her eyes were wide open, she tightly bit her lip, and tensely stared at Lin Wanrong, expecting his answer.

  Lin Wanrong did not expect Xiao Yuxiang to eavesdrop on their conversation outside, and now seeing her miserable expression, he didn't know how, but the words could no longer be spoken. What a good little girl, it's not bad if she wants to, after a few years, she will have a great future, this thought that rose in his heart made him jump in fright.

  Xiao Yuxiang saw that he didn't speak for a long time, and she understood in her heart. She bit her silver teeth, desperately trying not to let tears fall, and looked deeply at Lin Wanrong: "Lin San, no matter what, you must remember the promise you made to me, you must help Mother and sister, otherwise, I...I..."

  She couldn't say anything more, her body twisted and she rushed out of the door, quickly running into the courtyard, with tears streaming down her face like pearls in the deep autumn sunlight.

  Three people in the house were all stunned, Xiao's wife and sisters knew Xiao Yuxiang's temperament very well, they could see that Er Yaotou had some feelings for Lin San.

  Lin Wanrong was also stunned, if he couldn't see through Xiao Yuxiang's thoughts again, he would be a fool. This little girl had a fierce temper, and who knows what might happen? He was worried about Xiao Yuxiang, but saw the eldest sister staring at him with an angry face, as if he was the culprit of this matter.

  Lin Wanrong shook his head helplessly, this matter was too sudden, and he was caught off guard. Charm is really deadly, he thought to himself, unsure if it was self-mockery or self-love.

  Lin Wanrong shook her head and didn't think about these things. She should first take care of the tasks Xiao Yatou had entrusted to her, which was also a way of not letting Xiao Yatou down.

  He glanced at Xiao Yu Ruo and went straight to the point: "Big sister, I heard from second miss that Tao Dong Cheng wants to cooperate with the Xiao family, but I don't know what second miss and madam think about it."

  He spoke naturally, completely forgetting that he was just a servant of the Xiao family, and in the eyes of the eldest miss, he wasn't even worth as much as a scallion.

  Xiao Yu Ruo was dissatisfied with Lin San for confusing her sister and coldly said, "Lin San, you should go back and mind your own business. These things are none of your concern."

  To this spoiled little girl, Lin Wanrong was used to it and didn't bother to get angry with her. He just hummed a sound and said: "Young lady, nothing is absolute. Maybe in your eyes, I'm just a servant, but in my own eyes, I'm one of a kind, irreplaceable. Different perspectives lead to different conclusions, just like doing business, you might only see the benefits, but not the hidden risks."

  Lin Wanrong was being sarcastic, and Xiao Yuer naturally picked up on it. A hint of unusual color flashed across her face as she looked at him and said, "You have some insight."

  Lin Wanrong didn't bother to argue with her, and said in a low voice: "Big sister, the Tao family is cooperating with the Xiao family, but what tempting conditions did they propose? Let me guess, did he give the Xiao family a large stake?"

  "How did you know?" Xiao Yu Ruo was really surprised, this matter is extremely confidential, only she and her mother knew, even Xiao Yu Shuang hadn't heard of it, where did this house servant hear about it?

  "Don't be surprised, I just guessed it," said Lin Wanrong. As a sales manager, he had a meticulous mind and a flexible brain, and was not unfamiliar with these tricks. "How many shares did the Tao family give you?" Lin Wanrong continued to ask.

  Xiao Yu Ruo felt a bit curious, this house servant seemed to have some skills after all. She hummed in her heart and for some reason thought of the time he slapped his own butt that night, and her anger rose again. After hearing him ask, she remained silent for half a moment before saying: "40%."

  "Four-tenths of the shares. Four-tenths, huh?" Lin Wanrong stomped her feet a few times and sneered: "Such tempting conditions, if it were me, I would also consider it carefully."

  "But, young lady——" Lin Wanrong's words took a turn: "Have you ever thought about why he would give you such favorable conditions? You three families are joint ventures, you occupy 40% of the shares, while the Tao family and the other He family together only have 60%, what is the reason for this?"

  Xiao's sister blushed, but didn't say a word. Instead, Mrs. Xiao, who hadn't spoken in a long time, spoke up: "I discussed it with Yu Ruo and it's highly likely that Tao Gongzi has taken a liking to Yu Ruo, which is why he offered such generous terms."

  Xiao's wife listened to Lin San speaking, and thought of the rumors among the maids in the mansion about Lin San, and also thought of his unique contract as an employee. She thought to herself that this Lin San might really have some skills? Let's listen to what he has to say anyway.

  "Ah——" Lin Wanrong suddenly realized: "Pretending to be generous, giving away 40% of the shares to the Xiao family, as long as you win over the favor of the young lady, in the future when things go well, these 40% shares can be easily taken back without any effort. This Tao Gongzi indeed has a good calculation." Lin Wanrong said with a smile, it's no wonder that Xiao Yuruo and her mother had such speculations, as Tao Dongcheng was trying his best to curry favor with the young lady of the Xiao family, they couldn't help but consider these things.

  Xiao Yu Ruo's face turned slightly red, she glared at him angrily, thinking to herself: What business is it of yours what happens between me and Tao Gongzi?

  "So, Miss Xiao, do you have some feelings for Master Tao? You should know that this question is related to the fate of the Xiao family in the future, and it's not a trivial matter." Lin Wanrong teased Xiao Yurou.
