Chapter 469: Washed Her Hands Again

Ye Shuyun adored Little Bean all the more now that she even put a bow on the cat. Fortunately, Little Bean had no appreciation for beauty. It would walk proudly among other cats regardless of whether you put a bow or a cleaning rag on its head. Little Bean was known as a beautiful female cat as it was pretty and well-behaved, or putting it in another way, it was idle.

“Your Grandpa asked us to stop by tomorrow,” Lu Jin put down the newspaper in his hands and told his son.

“Alright,” Lu Yi was obviously aware that he had to visit the Classical Gardens once.

“Will you go with Huanhuan?” Ye Shuyun asked her son.

“No,” Lu Yi would not bring Yan Huan along, especially after he knew about Yan Huan’s past. He did not want Yan Huan to suffer anything that she could not bear and for her to face those people that she disliked.

“I think it’s better for her not to go too,” Lu Jin coughed. It’s best not to go. Based on his temper, it’s most likely that father loathes all of us. Above all, it’s already made known to the public that Lu Yi and Yan Huan are married, therefore it’s impossible to amend it. But Old Master Lu must have read it as a slap in his face and looked at it as his unbearable failure.

“You Mum must’ve picked you up from the garbage.”

Ye Shuyun added.

“You almost died in an earthquake, yet I’ve never seen your father show any concern for you.”

“Ahem…” Lu Jin coughed again. He didn’t know about it then. Besides, I didn’t actually die, did I?

Lu Yi drew Little Bean up and gently rubbed its little ears. He unconsciously pinched Little Bean’s ear as he thought about something. Meow! Little Bean let out a heart-rending yowl and its fur puffed up.

Little Bean ran away swiftly to the direction of Ye Shuyun.

It was a clever cat after all, not only did it get fatter, it had gotten smarter too. It surely knew who could be its protector.

Little Bean glared vigilantly at Lu Yi; the latter would most likely not be able to get closer to Little Bean for a long time.

“What’s wrong, Little Bean?” Ye Shuyun immediately picked Little Bean up and warily petted the smooth and beautiful fur on Little Bean’s body.

Little Bean squinted its eyes and turned a cold shoulder to everyone.

The housekeeper had prepared dinner for them when they came back at night. There were traces of all kinds of disaster on Yan Huan’s hands. Still, she could never bear in mind that she had been told not to use and wash her hands. Sometimes she would still wash her hands as usual, resulting in inflammation every time she washed her hands. This was why her hands were still in bandages even until now; bandages were getting thicker and thicker and her hands were like pig hooves now.

She blew out a breath, “Aunt, can you not say anything about this? Let’s keep it under our hats.”

She was talking it over with the housekeeper. How horrible would it be if Lu Yi knew about this. She better be alert.

The housekeeper was at a loss as to whether she should laugh or cry. Who would ever know that Yan Huan was of such nature in private? She was so muddle-headed that she kept forgetting about it. As a matter of fact, she soaked her hand in water again.

“Even if I say nothing, Mr. Lu can still see with his eyes whether the bandages were wrapped by him as he knows it better than anyone. I can never learn his way of wrapping bandages.”

Yan Huan had to admit that the housekeeper was right.

Worst came to the worst, I would just get scolded. She raised both her hands, when would they recover?


The housekeeper served the meal on the table, cleaned the house and was just about to leave.

“Aunt, hold on.”

Yan Huan stopped the housekeeper.

The housekeeper halted, “What’s wrong? Is there anything else, Ms. Yan?”

“Hmm, yeah,” Yan Huan opened her bag and drew out a purse. She took out a big stack of money from the purse. There was at least 3,000 yuan just by visual estimation.

She put the money in front of the housekeeper.

“Ms. Yan, I don’t accept bribes.” The housekeeper quickly shook her hands as she could not accept the money.

Yan Huan put the stack of money in the housekeeper’s hands, “Aunt, what are you thinking about? It’s your birthday today, isn’t it? Thanks for coming over and cooking for us. This is your birthday present. I’ve racked my brain and couldn’t think of anything to give you, but I think this would be the most suitable one, right?”

The housekeeper felt as if her hand was burned by the money upon hearing this.

She smiled, “If Ms. Yan really wants to give me a present, one piece would be enough.”

“One is not presentable.” Yan Huan put her purse back into her bag as she never intended to take back the money. “You’re a similar age with my mother. She used to be a housekeeper too. Back then, I was still a kid. One day, she came back and told me that her employer gave her an extra bonus as it was her birthday. She said she would leave all the money to me so that I could celebrate my birthday.”

The housekeeper clenched the money in her hand tightly, she could see the tears gathered in Yan Huan’s eyes. Yan Huan wanted to cry but she managed to hold back her tears.

A motherless child surely faced a hard time.

“Thank you, Ms. Yan. I will take it.”

The housekeeper would keep the money with her at all times. The salary offered by Yan Huan was actually quite high. Besides, unlike the others who would throw a tantrum at their housekeepers or maids, Yan Huan and Lu Yi respected her and were very nice to her. They treated her like family and never lost their temper with her. There were times when Yan Huan went filming and Lu Yi would come back less often, hence she was only left with the jobs of cleaning the rooms and preparing two meals for Mr. Lu. Sometimes she only needed to clean the rooms when Mr. Lu was not around.

In spite of that, they never skimped on her wages. Sometimes Yan Huan’s manager or Lu Yi would pass the wages to her when Yan Huan was occupied.

What a nice kid. It’s too bad her mother passed away so early, she was a pitiful woman after all.

Lu Yi came back just in time when the housekeeper got out of the house.

“Mr. Lu,” the housekeeper stopped Lu Yi.

“Yeah, aunt, is there anything?”

Lu Yi stopped his pace, wondering whether something happened to Yan Huan.

“Nothing much.” The housekeeper breathed out a sigh. “She misses her Mum. Console and try to cheer her up. Motherless children are pitiful.”

“I will, thanks aunt.” Lu Yi turned around, opened the door and walked inside. Yan Huan was lying on her stomach on the sofa, she could barely used the phone with her bandaged hand.

But the bandage was not wrapped according to Lu Yi’s style.

“Washed your hands again?

Lu Yi came to her, sat down and drew her hand closer. As expected, it was not his work. It was impossible for an ordinary person to learn his way of wrapping bandages. Clearly, there was only one reason for her to wrap her bandages afresh.

She washed her hands again.

“I apologize,” Yan Huan held out her hands, confessed, admitted to her fault and pleaded guilty, “I forgot again.”

“How many times has it been?” Lu Yi asked her again.
