Chapter 101 Be good, call me stepmother.
Upon closer inspection, everyone indeed found shallow footprints.
Lin Qingwan was covered in porridge, but she didn't change her clothes, which left a mark when Jiang Liwu kicked her.
Otherwise, where would dirt and grime be able to get etched onto your body if the floor of Lingshui Bay is so reflective it could be used as a mirror?
A servant couldn't help but speak up for Lin Qingwan, "It was Miss Jiang who pushed Butler Lin down; I saw it with my own eyes."
"Miss Jiang also splashed the burns on Miss Lin's hands and body."
Lin Qingwan is usually very kind and gentle. Most importantly, although she is the housekeeper in charge of them, she does no less work than ordinary servants every day. She personally handles everything related to Si Mocheng without ever slacking off, and she has been doing so for many years.
Even Jiang Liwu nodded, "It was indeed me who kicked it down."
So, you admit it?!
Everyone was shocked and stunned; she was so arrogant.
Si Mocheng: "Well done."
Lin Qingwan almost lost her voice, "Young Master..."
"I know you, so someone must have messed with you."
"If she falls to her death, then she deserves it." Si Mocheng's cold and indifferent gaze fell disdainfully on Lin Qingwan, but when he looked at Jiang Liwu, his expression softened, and he comforted her, "In the future, when you encounter something like this, don't wrong yourself. Do whatever you want, and I'll take care of everything." Fortunately, his stepmother was no ordinary person; otherwise, even a normal person would be frightened by such a situation.
Yesterday at the dinner party, Jiang Liwu's self-deprecating behavior made Si Mocheng feel extremely aggrieved, so Jiang Liwu's counterattack today made Si Mocheng happy.
"She tried to scald me, but ended up getting burned." Jiang Liwu was on guard when she noticed that Lin Qingwan's hostility had not decreased but increased, which is why she was able to dodge in time.
what? !
Secretary Chen stared at Lin Qingwan in astonishment, thinking she was incredibly audacious. He knew about Lin Qingwan's little crush on Si Mocheng, and he usually turned a blind eye to her petty actions. But he never expected her to try to harm Jiang Liwu. After all, Si Mocheng had even beaten up Master Wei Xifeng and Fu Siyue, the head of the Fu family, because of Jiang Liwu.
The servants were also horrified, realizing that they had not actually seen Lin Qingwan, who had been burned by Jiang Liwu.
Now that I think about it carefully, the reason Lin Qingwan got burned was because she was holding a hot pot, which means that the initiative was indeed in Lin Qingwan's hands, not Jiang Liwu's. So that's the truth!
They glanced at Jiang Liwu's face and then at Lin Qingwan's, suddenly remembering something.
It seems that Lin Qingwan would never approve the job application of a beautiful maid, even if the person was impeccably outstanding. Therefore, the appearance of these maids generally does not pose a threat to people.
Upon realizing Lin Qingwan's true thoughts, the servants' gazes towards her changed.
Si Mocheng was furious, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent as he looked at Lin Qingwan. "Throw her out, and fire everyone who was talking nonsense earlier."
Upon hearing this, Lin Qingwan and several servants were immediately thrown into a panic.
The servants then realized just how important Jiang Liwu, who had only been living in Lingshui Bay for a day, truly was to Si Mocheng.
Indeed, if it weren't important, how could Si Mocheng have personally carried it back and taken care of it for a whole night?
The group was immediately filled with remorse, but they couldn't even beg for mercy because they knew Si Mocheng's unwavering nature. While the others breathed a sigh of relief because of their own cautiousness, their scalps remained taut.
Lin Qingwan couldn't believe it. She was the one who was seriously injured and needed protection, care, pity, and concern, so why did she suffer such a crushing defeat? Even in her dreams, it was a nightmare she didn't want to face.
Suddenly she remembered what Jiang Liwu had told her: she would regret her foolish decision.
But on what grounds? What exactly is Jiang Liwu's basis?
Lin Qingwan stared at Jiang Liwu above her with bloodshot hatred in her eyes, her eyes filled with endless resentment.
As she was being dragged backward by her arms, the image of Li Nana being dragged and thrown out of the Si Group's gate flashed through her mind. At that time, she never imagined that she would have such a day, and that it would come so soon.
It was as if, in Si Mocheng's eyes, she was no different from Li Nana.
"No, no, let me go, I won't go, I don't want to leave."
Lin Qingwan was too weak to struggle because she had fallen down the stairs, and could only watch helplessly as she got further and further away from Si Mocheng.
"Young Master, who can take good care of you without me? What will happen to your stomach problems? The stomach-soothing porridge, hangover soup, and medicinal meals you eat every day are all cooked by me. Only I know how to make them. You can't live without me, you can't live without me. You will regret this decision..."
Her hoarse, rough, and tearful voice, tinged with panic and sobbing, echoed in the air like a witch's threat and curse, one cry after another filled with resentment and indignation.
Lin Qingwan didn't understand at all that what Si Mocheng really wanted to cure was his heart ailment, not his stomach ailment. Once his heart ailment was cured, his stomach ailment would naturally be cured as well.
The person who could heal his heartache was not Lin Qingwan, but...
Si Mocheng stared at Jiang Liwu, his gaze lingering for a long time.
Jiang Liwu was also looking at him with a smile, her expression bright and intriguing.
Si Mocheng felt completely exposed under her gaze, as if she could see right through him, leaving him with no secrets. This made him extremely uncomfortable, and his ears turned bright red.
"You know me so well, you protect me so much, and you still won't admit that I'm your stepmother?"
Si Mocheng quietly and slowly turned his head away, his eyes looking away from Jiang Liwu, like a child pretending to be deaf and dumb.
Jiang Li tilted her head and leaned closer to where he was turning his head, "Good boy, call me stepmother and let me hear it."
At this moment, Si Mocheng's cheeks and neck also turned red.
Strangely, he felt no pressure calling out to Jiang Liwu when she was asleep, but for some reason, he was too shy to say it when they were face to face. Moreover, he was still a bit proud and stubborn, and he didn't want to forgive Jiang Liwu for breaking her promise so easily, even though Jiang Liwu was forced to leave him, and even left to protect him.
"I... I have an urgent matter at my company." With that, Si Mocheng quickly went down the stairs. He wasn't lying; he was in an important meeting when he received the call. If Secretary Chen hadn't known how important Jiang Liwu was to him, she wouldn't have dared to disturb him during the meeting.
"Hey, this brat, so stubborn." Jiang Liwu crossed his arms and watched the tall, slender figure disappear from sight with a sense of defeat. He shook his head, feeling both helpless and amused.
Secretary Chen still had Lin Qingwan sent to the hospital, out of consideration for their long-standing friendship as colleagues.
But looking at Lin Qingwan's last look before she completely fainted, I had a feeling that she wouldn't settle down so easily.
