Lu Wanwan was still wary: "Then why are you confessing to me now?"
Xia Zhi said with a headache: "Ever since my husband discovered that I overheard the secrets of you and the young master, he has been threatening me.
I took the initiative to resign, and he said that he would send me back to the Xia family. I managed to escape from that home, and if I went back, I would die!
I tried hard to take good care of the young master, but he said that I deliberately used the young master to please you, but actually I had ulterior motives. I really couldn't bear it anymore, so I decided to confess everything to you."
Lu Wanwan noticed: "You said you escaped from home?"
"Yeah." Xia Zhi talked about her father's debt from gambling. At the end of her words, her eyes turned red: "My dad said he raised me so well, I can repay him now."
The only way he could do it was to pay his creditor physically, and I thought he must have been crazy, so he escaped."
Lu Wanwan pursed her lips. She had also been betrayed, so she could understand Xia Zhi's feelings.
Xia Zhi took a breath, suppressed her sadness, and continued: "Young mistress, I just want to find a place to settle down, and I will never do anything to cause trouble, I swear!"
Lu Wanwan thought for a while and said: "I will give you two options now. One, I convince Fu Shuo to let you go. Of course, I will give you a large sum of money so that you can get rid of your original family and start over.
Second, you continue to work here, and I persuade Fu Shuo not to make things difficult for you anymore, and Mingyuan will continue to be your refuge. Tell me the truth, do you want to stay?"
Xia Zhi is not a person who likes to get something for nothing. Although the first condition offered by the young mistress is very tempting, if she really leaves with a large amount of money, it will really be true to Fu Shuo's words of "ulterior motives."
Moreover, even if she really takes the money and leaves, what if Fu Shuo is still worried and continues to mess with her? When the time comes that she is out of the protection of the young mistress, she will really become a piece of dough, and Fu Shuo can round it up and flatten it!
Because of this, Xia Zhi regarded Lu Wanwan as a life-saving straw: "If I go back to my wife, my husband will give me a very generous salary. You are a friendly person and the young master is very well-behaved. Of course I want to stay."
Lu Wanwan looked at her deeply. If Xia Zhi chose the first path and left with the money, then she would have to be careful.
A person can choose to keep silent for the sake of money, but he can also choose to sell out for the sake of money.
It can be said that Xia Zhi's responsibility and caution allowed her to pass Lu Wanwan's first hurdle.
Xia Zhi immediately stepped forward, picked up the paper and pen on the desk, wrote a line of beautiful words, and said to Lu Wanwan: "Young mistress, this is my home address. Once you find anything unusual about me, you can directly call me
I'll send it back."
This made Lu Wanwan look at her in surprise.
Xia Zhi smiled bitterly and said, "I know it will be easy for Mr. to find out my home address, but I want to leave my fate to the young mistress as a token of my sincerity for this conversation tonight."
Lu Wanwan nodded: "I understand, you can go down."
After Xia Zhi said "yes", she went down obediently.
As for the result, the young mistress didn't drive her away, which means she has to keep her.
This made Xia Zhi smile with relief. It seemed that she had made the right bet. The young mistress really had a bodhisattva heart, unlike Fu Shuo who was completely overbearing and unreasonable. From now on, she would work hard by the young mistress' side. Look at him.
What can I do to her?
Not long after Xia Zhi left the study, she saw An An entering the study with her head in the air and calling softly: "Mommy~"
While Lu Wanwan collected Xia Zhi's home address, he asked as if nothing happened: "What's wrong, baby?"
