Chapter 1078: Chapter 1077: She Doesn’t Fit Anywhere
Li Yan cast a calm glance at He Ma and said, "She’s not suitable anywhere."
Stirring up trouble between husband and wife, making a scene on purpose, even irrationally blaming his wife—for any one of these, Li Yan didn’t want to see this kind of person ever again.
He Ma pressed her lips together and said, "I understand, Eldest Young Master."
Li Yan was the Eldest Young Master of this household, holding what people called the power of life and death. With just one word from him, many people would no longer be qualified to stay here.
Even Gong Qingwan couldn’t keep them!
After all, their relationship had long since gone sour. Gong Qingwan had no need to offend the Eldest Young Master again over some unimportant nobody. She knew very clearly which weighed more and which weighed less.
He Ma understood the situation and the stakes. It was precisely because of this that she had warned this group of girls, just so they wouldn’t lose the big for the small, wouldn’t make mistakes, and absolutely wouldn’t rashly set their sights on the Eldest Young Master.
The grudges of a wealthy family were not as simple as what they saw. They were still young, and had better years ahead of them. Work a few years, earn some money, and they’d have more choices about their future lives.
But this group of girls just refused to use their heads. They didn’t understand the situation right in front of them, and still kept trying to climb upward. Even someone like He Ma couldn’t help feeling annoyed.
In the morning she’d finally seen one sensible girl and thought the rest had come around and grown up. Who could have guessed that just a few hours later, they’d kick up another fuss like this.
"He Ma... you... you’re going to fire me too..." Han Panpan’s heart jolted. She had never imagined things would turn out like this.
Originally...
She had thought it was nothing, but in the blink of an eye it had become this serious, completely beyond salvaging.
He Ma shot her a stern look and said coldly, "I’m not the one firing you, the Eldest Young Master is! Once the Eldest Young Master has spoken, no one dares keep you."
No one dares keep you...
No one at all.
That sentence hit the ground with a thud.
Han Panpan’s heart went ice-cold; she could no longer see even a sliver of hope.
Not in her wildest dreams had she thought that the man she had pined for, who she thought might be her hope for the future, would personally be the one to drive her out of the Li Family.
Such a good job, gone just like that...
Han Panpan only felt as if she’d fallen from heaven straight into Hell; even breathing felt difficult.
She practically staggered forward a step and said, "Young Madam, about what happened just now... I really didn’t mean anything else. I was only feeling sorry for the Eldest Young Master... If a servant like me is going to be fired for this, aren’t you chilling everyone’s hearts..."
What a shameless little maid.
She’d actually twisted the whole thing around and forcibly turned Gu Tong into a jealous shrew.
Gu Tong said nothing.
Li Yan patted Gu Tong on the head and spoke first: "Money gets chilled too! If you’re afraid of that, then don’t take it in the future."
Gu Tong: "..."
He Ma: "..."
Uncle Cheng: "..."
Those words...
There really wasn’t anything wrong with them.
And they were impossible to refute.
No one had expected the Eldest Young Master’s tongue to be this sharp as well.
Could this be what they meant by ’those near vermilion turn red, those near ink turn black’.
Han Panpan was on the verge of tears. "But... I’ve been in the Li Family for many years, I’ve done my duty and never made a single mistake... If the Eldest Young Master fires me over this, in the future... how am I supposed to live..."
Li Yan lifted his brows and said, "What’s that got to do with me?"
Forgiving others is something for bodhisattvas to do. Even if Li Yan had great love in his heart, he didn’t have that kind of spiritual cultivation, much less that kind of compassion!
Fire someone and then still be responsible for them? Utterly ridiculous.
