Chapter 38: She Suddenly Told Him that She Likes Him
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
"Are you kidding?" Nian Junting sneered and said, "What's so good about being a carer? You need to deal with patient excrements and do all kinds of hard and filthy work. You're lucky to take care of me, I mean, if you're facing an old man and need to wipe his old withered body every day, you'd even feel sick when looking at him. Working in my villa may sounds not so good, but that's an easy job. You'll get paid well, and you'll have insurance and housing funding. The treatment won't' be any worse than what white collars can get. Do you know how many people out there want to work in my villa? Don't be ungrateful."
While he was speaking, his voice turned deeper and deeper, and his eyes were filled with unhappiness.
Luosang didn't know how to explain to him. She guessed that he would want to tear her into pieces if she directly tells him that she wouldn't be interested in working in his villa no matter how much money he'd pay her.
She understood that some words needed to be put in a mild way, but she didn't know how to turn him down without pissing him off.
She tried very hard thinking, then stuttered, "Mr. Nian, I rejected you… because… eh… I'm afraid that if I spend more time with you, I will find more outstanding features of yours, and till then, I'll fall in deeper love with you, and I might be carried away with you…"
Finished talking, she felt extremely uncomfortable.
Nian Junting was stunned, then his ears blushed.
'I knew that she likes me, but how could she suddenly tell me that? I wasn't prepared for this. This woman really doesn't know what shame is,' he thought.
However, he also felt that her words did make sense.
He pondered shortly, then said, "It's good for you to be so self-knowing. I had a second thought and now feel that you're right. Let's forget about it."
Suddenly, he felt a little pity.
After all, he liked to be taken care of by Luosang.
…
After spending three days at the family house, Nian Junting took Luosang back to the Tianhu Villa in Xia City.
His grandmother knew that he loved grapefruits, so she asked the steward to put a large bagful of grapefruits in his trunk when they left. Those were at least a dozen grapefruits.
Looking at that bagful of grapefruits, Luosang even wanted to cry.
After they returned to the villa, quite some guests visited Nian Junting and paid him New Year calls. Sister Lan was back, but they were still short-handed. So, Luosang needed to serve the guests and take care of Nian Junting at the same time, and was often sent to the kitchen to help Sister Lan at lunchtime.
Therefore, she lost six pounds in days. Not even her black-rimmed glasses could cover the dark circles under her eyes.
At the seventh day in the lunar month, she accompanied Nian Junting to his company. As it was the first day of work in this year, all his employees had lined up by the front gate of the company to welcome their boss.
Nine o'clock sharp, Luosang wheeled Nian Junting into the company's building. This morning, she picked a purplish-red suit for him. The perfectly tailored suit fitted his beautiful body shape, made him look so elegant even when sitting in a wheelchair, also matched the joyful atmosphere of the New Year.
Lu Kang followed behind Luosang, giving a red envelope to each employee.
After receiving the red envelopes, all the employees were energized.
"Mr. Nian, Mr. Nian, please forgive us…" an anxious voice broke the pleasant atmosphere.
An old couple attempted to break in from the front gate, but were stopped by the security guards.
"Mr. Nian, we're begging you!" As they couldn't get in, the old couple kneeled by the front gate directly, began kowtowing.
Seeing that, the employees all began whispering to each other.
"Those are Gao Shengyuan and his wife," Lu Kang said to Nian Junting with a low voice, "We did what you said, so they had a pretty rough New Year. I guess they're here to beg you for leniency."
Beg him for leniency? Who would do that in this way? The ones who didn't know what happened may think that he had done something unforgivably evil.
"Let them in," said Nian Junting coldly.
Chapter 39: Want Me to Forgive You? You Have to Ask The Lady Beside Me First
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
As the security guards stepped away, Gao Shengyuan and his wife shambled to Nian Junting. Gao Shengyuan's hair was grey, his eyes were sunken, and his face was filled with a sickly look. The red-eyed Mrs. Gao cried out loud as soon as she saw Nian Junting.
"Mr. Nian, we're barely hanging on. Please forgive us," she cried.
"Yeah, it's a misunderstanding," Gao Shengyuan chimed in. "About what happened to you in the hospital — we didn't do it. Those workers from a construction site of our company did it, and I knew nothing about it. I lived in the hospital during the time, and I was too sick to even get out of the bed. We can't go back home. We can't go back to the hospital either. Mr. Nian, you see, we've been working together for years, and I'm an old man. Please give us a break, please. You're such a generous man."
After saying that, Gao Shengyuan dragged his wife down to the ground and began kowtowing again.
"Ahyaya, what a busy morning." Xiao Si walked in slowly with a wicked smile while tossing his car keys, as if he was here to watch a show.
"Mr. Xiao, please intercede with Mr. Nian for me!" Gao Shengyuan hurriedly turned to grab Xiao Si's pants.
"Oi, don't touch me!" Xiao Si stepped away immediately, as if Gao Shengyuan had some kind of infectious disease. "Old people like to blackmail others these days. You're at this age, so I don't want to take responsibility if you faint."
Hearing his sarcastic words, Gao Shengyuan's wrinkled face froze a little. Then, he turned back to continue kowtowing to Nian Junting.
"Enough." Nian Junting narrowed his eyes, which were radiating coldness, and said, "If you want me to give you a break, you're gonna have to ask this lady beside me first. From the beginning to the end, she's one who suffered the greatest harm. Let's see if she agrees."
While speaking, he fixed his eyes on Luosang with a meaningful look, and the others did the same.
Luosang paused. Seeing Nian Junting's mouth curved in a faint smile, she suddenly realized something.
Nian Junting valued his reputation very much, so he would never let people know that someone had tried to pour a bucket of piss on him. Right now, Gao Shengyuan and his wife were trying everything to show how miserable their life was, and Nian Junting didn't want to act too cruel and ruthless. So, she now needed to deal with this whole thing.
According to what she knew about her boss, he did not, and would never want to forgive Gao Shengyuan.
'It seems that I have to be the bad person now. He's an exploitative capitalist indeed," she thought.
Gao Shengyuan quickly looked at Luosang from head to toes. Based on her cheap clothes, he guessed that she was most likely just a help. So, he was relieved slightly, as he believed that people like her were the easiest to deal with.
"Lady, I let that happen by failing to restrain my employees. How much money do you want? I'll compensate you with as much as you want."
"As much as I want?" Luosang smiled coldly and responded, "Alright then, give me ten million, and we can forget about what happened."
"Ten million?" Gao Shengyuan paused shortly, as he couldn't believe his own ears. "Lady, you see, you're standing here, perfectly unharmed. You don't seem to be hurt severely. Our company isn't doing well right now, and we're really short on funds. You're demanding an exorbitant price. We won't be able to afford that price, not even if we, an old couple, give you our lives," he said.
"Yeah?" Luosang's gaze suddenly turned sharp as she said, "The barrette on Mrs. Gao's hair seems to be from PORE from Italy. PORE isn't one of the most well-known luxury brands, but I heard that even a simple barrette from that brand is worth over a million. I don't think you're short on money, as Mrs. Gao is still wearing such an expensive barrette."
Once she said that, all the employees who were watching were surprised. Even Nian Junting and Xiao Si looked at her in surprise.
Mrs. Gao automatically tried to cover the barrette with her hand, seemingly flurried.
