At breakfast time, not only was there a strange woman, but also a dog.
When the dog saw Li Hetai, it tucked its tail between its legs, lay down on the floor, and nudged its dog bowl to eat.
Lunchtime is served at school.
New school, new life, new trajectory.
Spending six days a week at school, Li Hetai felt as if he had returned to his previous life.
The villa gradually became deserted.
The male homeowner lived there for a while and then disappeared, while the new female homeowner was always in sight.
"Are you Li Hetai? My name is Yu Yue." Yu Yue smiled, wearing the latest season's newest clothes from a luxury brand, with exquisite makeup.
This was her first formal conversation with the child.
"A new amusement park has just opened near Wushui. Would you like to go?"
Seeing that the other party did not answer, Yu Yue tried to get closer, but the person kept a distance of two meters, and did not even look at her.
The two people's relationship was worse than that of strangers.
There was no one in the villa to chat with her; the servants were all busy with their own things, and it was too quiet.
Actually, villas are great in every way; they offer a lot of freedom and convenience, and you can have whatever you want.
Using the false name and identity of the Li family's mistress, she was incredibly happy in Wushui. She had members everywhere and could go anywhere without any hindrance. All the waiters treated her like a VIP.
The word "tourism" suddenly seems inferior compared to those lavish banquets and parties.
-
One spring day, the sky was overcast but there was no sign of rain, only occasional thunder.
The original plan to go on a spring outing was put on hold.
Yu Yue could only watch listlessly as her dog chased after the cherry blossoms under the cherry tree in the yard.
Yesterday, Gerrard was running around with a bag in his mouth, inside which was a red marriage certificate, which was clearly Li Taihe's.
The bride's name was also a coincidence; it was Gu Xinglan.
She vaguely remembered those three words.
When they first arrived at the villa, they mistakenly believed that Li Taihe had a relationship with the maid, and the maid who was misunderstood seemed to have the same name.
I don't know if it's a homophone or a homonym, but the identity she's using now as the female owner is also named Gu Xinglan, exactly the same as this marriage certificate.
There are so many coincidences.
The bag containing the marriage certificate and photos was hidden in her unused purse.
These things are none of her business; she's here to enjoy life.
Just then, the landline phone rang, and Yu Yue picked it up lazily.
[Are you Butler Li?]
"I am the lady of the house."
[Ms. Gu? Perfect timing! We were just about to call you, but unfortunately the call didn't go through.]
Yu Yue glanced at the number displayed on the landline screen. "Who are you?"
[I am Li Hetai's class leader, and I would like to invite you and Mr. Li to attend our school's anniversary event tomorrow evening.]
She? Is she going to attend?
This might improve her relationship with the little guy.
That evening, Yu Yue stood in front of the door.
"He Tai, is there an anniversary event at school tomorrow?" She knocked on the door three times and asked, "Want to come together? Your dad is busy, I'll go with you."
Her voice was gentle and loving, yet it remained quiet inside.
The child in the room hadn't given her a kind look during this time, so why was she going to approach him?
Yu Yue felt awkward and shrugged.
For the first time ever, the door actually opened.
An unusual scent lingered in the unfamiliar air, like a hook drawing her back.
Half an eye peeked out from under the door.
"Can you go there for me?"
His voice was hoarse and cold, devoid of any emotion, and he looked at her as if she were something insignificant.
She couldn't help but be drawn to that gaze, and asked herself honestly, she had already been good enough to this child.
For a while, she even got up every day to make breakfast, and she made different dishes from different countries. But the other party didn't reciprocate at all, and their relationship even got worse.
If she feeds it to a dog, the dog will remember her kindness.
The servants in the villa were all afraid of this person. Even the butler in charge of Li Hetai told her that he was a strange person and that she should not waste her energy.
Anyone would probably keep their distance from such an ungrateful and unlikable child.
And now, they're actually asking her if she's going...
Yu Yue was overjoyed. She tossed her hair and walked back with a radiant smile.
With a loud "bang," the door slammed shut, nearly knocking her flying.
She always gives her the cold shoulder; anyone who didn't know better would think she was a wicked stepmother!
"Go if you want, I can't be bothered with this nonsense." Yu Yue complained several times, then twisted the doorknob repeatedly.
As soon as she got home, she hid in her room. She wanted to see what kind of tricks were going on inside, and she insisted on going in even though she wasn't allowed to.
The brat is even more arrogant than his father, and has absolutely no manners.
"cough……"
The sudden sound startled Yu Yue, who immediately withdrew her hand.
"Madam, I've come to bring the young master a late-night snack."
The bowl is filled with highly nutritious ingredients, all kinds of rare and delicious ones. They look fresh and sweet, and smell even better.
Yu Yue quickly moved aside.
The knocking continued for a long time, but there was no response.
The young man holding the bowl called out, "Young master! It's me, Xiao Hong! I've brought you some soup."
It seems that the door to the room was locked that morning, after he came in to prepare clothes for the other person.
No one could get in, let alone serve, so they were happy to have some peace and quiet.
"It seems the young master is full..."
Hong Liang raised the plate a little higher, "Madam, would you like to drink this soup?"
"You come here every day?"
Hong Liang nodded.
"Is he always like this?" Yu Yue whispered.
Hong Liang nodded again.
"Heh, you don't need to go through all that trouble next time. If he doesn't want it, you don't need to chase after him for it." Yu Yue's face turned cold.
Seeing that the woman, who was originally gentle and kind, was now quite angry, Hong Liang nodded again and said with a soothing smile, "Madam, here you can have this bowl."
“No need, you can handle it yourself.” Yu Yue sighed. “Also, you don’t need to call me Madam. I’m only two years older than you. You can just call me by my name…”
Sometimes fate brings us together in such a coincidence.
The two were tourists under the same tour guide abroad. Although they were not familiar with each other, they knew of each other's existence.
That was her first time traveling far from home. She added many people's contact information, but not this one.
Now that I'm back in China, I've run into this situation again.
Four years later, when they met again, both of them looked quite different. If they hadn't often run into each other at the villa and chatted frequently, they wouldn't have recognized each other so quickly.
“I still have those photos from back then, but I haven’t found a chance to give them to you.” Hong Liang suddenly said as the two of them crossed paths.
"Really?" Yu Yue asked, somewhat surprised.
She was the only one in the procession without a camera; everyone else did.
“You’ve changed so much. You used to be so quiet.” Yu Yue looked the other person up and down frankly.
He was still young, still had that scholarly air about him, which was why she was able to recognize him.
"You too, I never thought you'd already gotten married..." Hong Liang sighed.
His regretful look and joking tone amused Yu Yue, who playfully punched him lightly. "What does my marriage have to do with you? Aren't you just here as a child's caretaker too..."
Because of a child who embarrassed them all... they talked about everything from the past to the present, and when they got to the point that this child was the original wife, Hong Liang felt even more sorry.
None of the servants had access to any background information about the villa, and Yu Yue shouldn't have either.
She couldn't resist and secretly told him about the contract.
