The Wealthy
She lifted up her head to see two cleaning workers and one gardener responsible for ruining her big day. She randomly picked one of the cleaners to unleash her fury upon. She pointed at Chu Mengyaoâs face and cursed âYou little bitch, do you have any idea who I am? How dare you spray me with water. Do you want to die!?â
It was easy for Gou Huli to mistaken Chen Yushu and Chu Mengyao for cleaners since both of them wore sportswear and they looked like a complete mess. On a closer look, they might even pass for country girls that came into the city looking for jobs.
Lin Yi wasnât dressed any better, he looked like a worker. With his hand on the lawnmower, who else could he be if he wasnât a gardener?
She first assumed that the two cleaners and gardener was fooling around when the homeowner was away. When they were playing with water, they got her wet. She wonât let them off the hook so easily.
She didnât care for these people or anyone else beneath her status; she always had a feeling that she was superior to them. Even for the mansion owners there, she wouldnât put them in high regard.
âShe already apologized. Please watch your tone,â Lin Yi couldnât standby and watch Chu Mengyao get bullied. He walked over to reason with the woman. Even if they were in the wrong, the lady shouldnât be so rude. They had already apologized for their actions. Lin Yi didnât want to intervene until that point.
âApologize? What use is an apology?â Gou Huli glared at Lin Yi. âYou are a gardener, a small fry, so mind yourself when you talk to me. What right do you think you have to talk to me? Let me tell you. You donât have any right to speak to me, you donât even have the right to be in my presence!â
Lin Yi frowned. This womanâs words were very harsh. If they werenât in the wrong first, then Lin Yi wouldnât even bother with answering her. Lin Yi wasnât being unreasonable âAn apology was given already, what else do you want?â
âWhat? Do you know how much these clothes cost? I just bought it yesterday. I wore it only once, and now it is all wet. These are from famous brand name clothing. I bet you havenât seen it before?â Gou Huli yelled. âI donât know why Iâm even trying to explain to you people who wonât understand!â
âWe can compensate you for your clothes,â Lin Yi calmly replied. If it wasnât a female, Lin Yi probably wouldnât have paid so much attention to this troublesome matter.
âCompensate? What will you use to compensate? Do you know how much money each of my clothes cost? How much money do you even earn a month? Even if you sell yourself, you canât afford it!â Gou Huli coldly laughed. She looked at them with eyes full of discrimination.
âJust say the amount,â Chu Mengyao had a deep hatred for someone she just met. Even if she was at fault, her apology and willingness to pay for compensation is more than sufficient. But, this unyielding woman is screaming and causing a scene.
âHow much money? Thirty thousand and eight hundred yuan!â Gou Huli arrogantly spoke up to Chu Mengyao.
âOkay, Lin Yi, can you go get her forty thousand yuan,â Chu Mengyao raised her eyebrows as she calmly asked Lin Yi.
âGet forty thousand yuan? What a big breath. Who wouldâve thought that slaves at this rich household would have that kind of allowance? I see now. You have the look of a bitch, did you sleep your way in?â Gou Huli nastily sneered.
âWho is a slave?â Chu Mengyao unhappily replied. âI will compensate you for the money, you can leave after you get it. We still have work to do,â
âHmph! Compensation? Do you think just compensation will work? My clothes are international designer brand clothing, even with money you canât buy it!â Gou Huli didnât like Chu Mengyaoâs attitude so she wasnât satisfied. In Gou Huliâs eyes, Chu Mengyao was a fox, that slept her way into status, that dared to talk back to a wealthy woman like herself. Gou Huli was mad at Chu Mengyaoâs attitude!
âThen, where did you buy it?â Lin Yi glanced at Miss as a hint so he can take over. Then he followed up with âIf you can buy it, I can buy it too. If you donât want the money, I can buy you the exact same clothing,â
Lin Yi could say it loudly and proudly. With his Fatty Lai as his brother, Lin Yi thought that he could buy anything.
âHmph! My clothes are bought from the special collection counter at Pengzhan Business Tower! This is part of the VIP limited edition collection. Only members can purchase it, so even if you have money, you canât buy it!â Gou Huli coldly sneered. âYou need to be at least a diamond cardholder to purchase it!â
âYou are diamond cardholder?â Lin Yi replied. He thought it was hilarious, how dare the lady talk about Pengzhan properties in front of his Miss. It sounds a little stupid for anyone not in the loop to have said it in front of the ownerâs daughter.
âWell of course! This diamond card is only something that people of my status can get. I heard that in the entire Pengzhan Industries, there was only a dozen of these cards given out!â Gou Huli continued. âMy status is not something you small fries can get so easily. You can watch me and continue dreaming!â
Lin Yi couldnât understand how Pengzhan could give a card to a moron like her?
Chen Yushu was thinking the exact same question in her head. She pulled Chu Mengyao on the sleeve and asked: âYaoyao sis, how come Uncle Chu would give this idiot a membership card?â
âProbably because she is wealthy and a big spender,â Chu Mengyao replied.
âWhat are you two whispering about?â Chu Mengyao and Chen Yushuâs conversation wasnât that loud, but Gou Huli heard bits and parts of it, which made her even angrier.
âThen do you mind if I ask what your identity is?â Lin Yi didnât give a chance for Gou Huli to ask Chu Mengyao or Chen Yushu.
âMe? Iâm from Yanjing!â Gou Huli smacked her Porsche Boxster supercar, âCan you see it? The Yanjing license plate 8888! Only a wealthy family like mine can get rare license plates like this. A small place like this wouldnât understand how the upper class lives!ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âOh, what a load of bullshit!â Lin Yi nodded. âOkay, so I guess you are done faking it now. Can you tell me about your clothes now?â
âWho are you saying is faking it?â Gou Huli didnât like Lin Yiâs tone. There was a class separation, but he talked as if there wasnât any barrier. She couldnât accept that fact as her pride was on the line.
âNo, it was nothing. Do you want us to resolve your clothing problem?â Lin Yi quickly asked.
âResolve it? How can you do that? Iâll give you a way out, you can come to my house to clean. Once the inside of my house is spotless, and the lawn is trimmed, I will consider this problem resolved. Otherwise, there will be consequences!â Gou Huli replied with her form of compensation.
