276 Another Substitute
Seeing that she was quite reasonable, the butler heaved a sigh of relief and softly replied, “Alright. If Master still wants to see you, I’ll send someone to inform you.”
Anyone could hear the politeness and distance in his cold tone. Yeh Luo stared blankly at the butler as he turned around and continued to direct the people around him to get busy. Suddenly, her eyes turned red, and she glared fiercely at the servants who were secretly laughing at her in the corner. She snorted coldly and ran out with a face full of resentment.
Back at the house where her mother and her husband lived, Yeh Luo threw herself onto the sofa dejectedly and kicked the dog away. She glared at her mother, who was walking out of the kitchen, resentfully. “Mom, it’s all your fault. If you hadn’t resigned from the He family, I wouldn’t have been kicked out of the He family by the butler for no reason!”
“What?” Yeh Luo’s mother, Yeh Ying, was shocked. The plate in her hand was a little hot. She anxiously placed it on the dining table and casually wiped the oil on her hand on her apron. Then, she sat beside her and asked worriedly, “”What’s going on? Why were you chased out? Quickly tell mom!”
Yeh Luo looked at her mother’s unkempt side in disgust. She tried her best to suppress the nauseous feeling caused by the smell of oil and smoke on her body. He pretended to unintentionally sit at a spot far away from her and complained with a frown, “The butler said that Uncle He had something to do, so he didn’t let me see him these few days. He also didn’t let me enter the He family manor as I wanted. The next time I want to see Uncle He, I have to wait for his personal permission.”
“How did this happen?” Yeh Ying lowered her eyes and felt that there was something fishy about this. She could not help but sit closer and ask, “Has He Chen been acting strange recently? Did you say something wrong and offend him?”
“No, I didn’t even see him. How could I have offended him?” Yeh Luo’s tone of voice turned even harsher as she complained, “If you weren’t so lazy that you insisted on resigning, I wouldn’t be so clueless now! Those people from the He family don’t even take me seriously!”
After returning to the country this time, Yeh Ying thought that Yeh Luo could finally become He Chen’s daughter in name. Even if it was just acknowledging her family, it would be enough for the two of them to live a life of wealth and prosperity. Therefore, she decided to quit her job and rest at home.
However, she did not expect that just a few days after she came back, her daughter’s status in the He family would change dramatically.
Yeh Ying was worried that her good days were coming to an end. She was extremely anxious. “You can’t blame me for this. Look at you. You can make perfumes and earn money now. Mom just wanted to stop serving people and rest at home. Who knew that He Chen would suddenly stop you from going to the He family manor?”
Ever since Yeh Luo found out that He Chen’s lost woman loved making perfumes, she had been secretly studying this craft. She had even given up on her favorite fashion design. She had even failed a few classes in school because of this.
Fortunately, after He Chen found out, he specifically asked the butler to open the He family’s long-sealed room for her. It was filled with advanced perfume-making equipment. She usually made perfumes there and was proud of it.
Because that was a place that only she could enter and leave freely.
However, she could not even go to the He family manor now.
Yeh Luo rolled her eyes speechlessly and explained to her mother impatiently, “I know how to make fragrances, but now I can’t get into the He family manor, so I don’t have the raw materials or the equipment. How do you want me to make perfumes to support you?”
“Luoluo, don’t be so anxious.” Ye Ying could hear her impatience but she still consoled her with a look of indulgence. “Let’s think of another way. If you didn’t do anything wrong, then maybe he met someone recently? Do you even know who he met? Did something happen at the party last night?”
At the mention of this, Yeh Luo’s brows furrowed. She suddenly thought of someone and slapped her thigh in realization. “It must be her! She must be the one Uncle He invited!”
“Who is it?” Yeh Ying hurriedly asked.
Yeh Luo was not in the mood to care about the pungent smell of oil and smoke on her. SHe said impatiently, “He Miao! I know that woman’s name is He Miao! She’s the woman I said looked like Uncle He’s sweetheart.”
Yeh Ying’s heart skipped a beat and her eyes widened as if she was facing a great enemy. “Doesn’t that mean that He Chen has found a better replacement? That’s why they don’t value you anymore?”
Yeh Luo frowned. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that it was possible. Thinking of He Miao’s face and Jing Yan, who was sitting beside her and clearly behaving intimately with her, Yeh Luo gritted her teeth so hard that she could break them. “It must be because of this. I didn’t control my words that day. Uncle He must have been afraid that I would make her angry, so he didn’t want me.”
“D*mn it, where did this little sl*t come from? How dare she cut off our source of income!” Although Yeh Ying had never met He Miao before, she still hated her from the bottom of her heart. When she looked up at her daughter, a trace of viciousness flashed in her eyes. Luoluo, how do you want to deal with her? we can’t be soft-hearted!”
“I know that.” Yeh Luo suddenly thought of something. She turned on her computer and hesitantly entered He Miao’s name in the search bar. Suddenly, all the news about her on the internet jumped into her eyes.
