Chapter 2620: Chapter 2620: Ashamed Beyond Words
These maids wore identical puffy maid uniforms, each young and beautiful.
They were like a scenic line, standing by the seaside.
Seeing them approach, every maid looked at them with hopeful trust.
As if they were their backbone, their saviors.
"Excuse me, what exactly is buried underground?" one maid stepped forward to ask.
The others also looked at them curiously.
Jian Yufei opened her mouth but found her throat constricted, unable to say anything.
Nangong Yi smiled faintly and said, "Nothing much. Do you know where there are any boats?"
"There are a few small yachts here, but now we don’t know where they are. They’re probably taken away by them, too."
Yes, how could Nangong Xu have left the yachts for them to use?
Nangong Yi smiled again and said, "We’re going back to get reinforcements now. Wait here for us, and at the latest, someone will come to rescue you tomorrow."
Jian Yufei pressed her lips together, her eyes slightly downcast.
These words she couldn’t bring herself to say.
So she was very grateful to Nangong Yi for being the bad guy, grateful he said it for her.
Jian Yufei tightly held Ruan Tianling’s hand.
It wasn’t that she was too cold-blooded or cruel; she really couldn’t risk Ruan Tianling’s life...
Some maids were noticeably skeptical of Nangong Yi’s words.
"Will you really come back to rescue us?"
"We have phones here. How about we all leave together tomorrow?"
A few maids were reluctant for them to go.
If they left, the maids would worry about staying here alone.
One maid countered, "Don’t be like that. They saved us, and that’s enough. Otherwise, we’d still be in the basement."
"Yes, maybe they have urgent matters when they go back. Let’s stay here for just one more day."
Jian Yufei clenched her hands tightly, feeling too ashamed to meet their eyes.
Ruan Tianling’s expression was indifferent: "Then we’ll be leaving first!"
He didn’t say any more unnecessary words and led Jian Yufei onto the helicopter.
Nangong Yi also followed them on board—
Jian Yufei suddenly walked to the door, staring at them and asked, "There are still a few seats left. Who wants to come up?"
They could take as many as they could; for the rest, she could do nothing.
The maids exchanged glances, and no one spoke up.
"There really are a few more seats. If anyone wants to head back first, you can come with us..." Jian Yufei’s voice trailed off.
"I’m not in a hurry to leave, those who need it should go up."
"I’m not in a hurry either..."
Each maid deferred to one another.
Originally, they were all carefully trained maids by Nangong Xu, having spent several years together.
A strong friendship had already formed among them.
At this moment, no one was willing to leave first; everyone wanted to give the opportunity to others.
Besides, they didn’t know about the bombs, so they naturally lacked a strong sense of crisis, and the idea of abandoning others to save themselves wasn’t present.
But their mutual deference deeply pierced Jian Yufei’s heart.
"Thank you for your kindness. We’ll just stay here for now. After all, the police will come to rescue us tomorrow; leaving tomorrow is the same."
"Yes, and we still have a lot of things here. We want to pack our belongings first."
"If you have urgent matters, go ahead. Thank you for saving us."
"Thank you..."
"Thank you..."
Without any conflict of interest, these maids turned ordinary and kind-hearted.
Listening to their voices of gratitude, Jian Yufei only felt it was harsh to the ears.
