Ji Ke glanced at Guo Xiaoman's back and said, "Look at it first."
This Guo Xiaoman looks simple on the surface, but in fact she is unpredictable.
The group sat down on the sand, and the servant brought the tea and cut a plate of fruit.
When Guo Xiaoman saw that there was an orange she liked to eat, she picked up a piece and ate it slowly.
After finishing the orange in her hand, Ji Hanlin asked, "Manman, aren't you telling the evidence?"
Guo Xiaoman slowly wiped his hands with a tissue before saying to Li Hang, "Li Hang, bring the child and Lao Li in."
"Didn't Lao Li be driven away by the Ji family this morning? What did you bring him here to do?" Zhang Bilan said first and looked at Guo Xiaoman. Although his vicious eyes flashed, Guo Xiaoman still saw it.
This woman pretended to be virtuous and dignified in front of Ji Hanlin. She has worked very hard for so many years. Today she will tear her true face open.
"My mother, why are you anxious? I will naturally have my intention to bring him here." Guo Xiaoman glanced at Zhang Bilan indifferently.
The housekeeper stood behind Zhang Bilan, his face changed. Unexpectedly, this second sister was so powerful that she actually rescued Lao Li's granddaughter.
After a while, Li Hang took Lao Li and his little granddaughter in.
The child didn't know how to hide his emotions. When he saw the housekeeper, he was so scared that he hid in Lao Li's arms and cried loudly.
Old Li hurriedly lowered his head to coax the child, but he didn't dare to look up at Zhang Bilan and the butler.
"Old Li, is this... your granddaughter? What's going on?" Zhang Bilan sat beside Ji Hanlin and asked as she looked at Old Li.
Li's body stiffened, and he held the child and looked up at Zhang Bilan, and saw the warning in her eyes that Adam's apple drifted away.
"Old Li, to be honest, don't worry, if you dare to bring you today, you will naturally be fine." Guo Xiaomanwan picked up an orange and walked towards Lao Li, and handed the orange to his granddaughter, "Little boy, come and eat fruit, it's so sweet."
The little girl poked her head out of Lao Li's arms, looked at the orange in front of her and swallowed, turning her head to look at Lao Li.
"Child, eat it." Old Li said with difficulty.
The little girl received her grandfather's resentment and happily took it over, "Thank you sister."
"You're welcome, I'll have it after I finish eating, so I'll get it for you." Guo Xiaoman stood up, glanced at Lao Li, and walked towards the sand and sat down.
Lao Li looked down at the sweet food of his granddaughter, as if he had made a decision. When he looked up again, he had no fear in his eyes. He looked directly at the butler and pointed at him, "It was the butler who instructed me to harass Xiaohong. If I disagree, I kidnapped my granddaughter and threatened me, and had to do such dirty things."
"Old Li, what are you talking nonsense? How could the housekeeper let you harass Xiaohong for no reason?" Ji Xiaoqian stood up from the sand and glared at Lao Li, with an expression that he dared to talk nonsense again, and she would never forgive him.
Old Li looked at Ji Xiaoqian calmly, "Did I say anything randomly? The housekeeper knows very well." He must not let his granddaughter get into trouble anymore. Li Hang is right. If he repeatedly compromises, his granddaughter will always be in their hands.
Today, Miss Guo asked Li Hang to rescue his granddaughter, so he believed her.
It is difficult for Zhang Bilan to associate the man in front of him with the man last night. Last night, Lao Li was very obedient and did whatever he asked him to do and said whatever he asked him to say.
I originally thought of driving him out of the Ji family this morning. After two days of peace, she asked the housekeeper to release his granddaughter and then let them leave the city. Then the truth of this matter would never be known to Ji Hanlin.
Who knew that just one day passed, the style of painting suddenly changed, and Lao Li actually stood up to accuse the housekeeper.
Looking at the little girl he protected in his arms, Zhang Bilan smiled coldly.
Lao Li, you are ungrateful.
"Butler, what Lao Li said is the truth." Ji Hanlin frowned and looked at the Butler.
He didn't take this matter seriously. If what Lao Li said was true, then the butler would be so terrible that he actually kidnapped Lao Li's granddaughter and was lawless.
The housekeeper glanced at Zhang Bilan and walked to Ji Hanlin to kneel down, "Master, Lao Li said it well, I asked him to do this."
"What, why did you let him do this?" Ji Hanlin looked at the butler in shock, the old man who had been a servant in the Ji family for more than ten years.
Guo Xiaoman leaned against the sand back and curled the corners of her mouth. Zhang Bilan was really capable, so she asked the butler to take the blame for her.
Sure enough, the housekeeper continued, "Since the second lady came, Xiaohong has not listened to my discipline. I said it a few times and refused to change it, so I want Lao Li to teach her a lesson."
This answer not only made Ji Hanlin a little incredible, but everyone was shocked, except for Guo Xiaoman.
"That's it, did you ask someone to kidnap Lao Li's granddaughter?" Ji Hanlin still disbelief.
The butler nodded as if he was dead.
Ji Hanlin closed his eyes, "Butler, you really disappoint me. If Lao Li wanted to call the police, I would not object."
The butler suddenly looked up at Zhang Bilan.
Zhang Bilan turned around and stroked Ji Hanlin's chest, "Honey, don't be angry, a small matter, the housekeeper has been in the Ji family for more than ten years, and he has worked hard without credit."
After saying that, Zhang Bilan glanced at Lao Li.
Old Li's body stiffened. He had been in the Ji family for several years. He knew his wife's methods very well. He felt like a mirror in his heart. Today, this was what the wife asked the housekeeper to find. If he insisted on calling the warning and the housekeeper, he might not let him go in the future.
He looked down at his granddaughter in his arms. Old Li didn't dare to look at Guo Xiaoman and Li Hang, and said slowly, "Master, madam, I won't call the police."
Guo Xiaoman looked at Lao Li suddenly. He didn't say that when he was on the road just now.
Why has your attitude changed now?
Li Hang looked at Lao Li, frowned, walked quietly to Lao Li, and said to him, "Old Li, you have thought about it. If you continue to let Zhang Bilan do anything, your granddaughter's affairs will happen again."
"I'm just for my granddaughter, so I can't call the police." Old Li said softly without looking at Li Hang.
Li Hang wanted to say something else, but Old Li pulled his granddaughter to Ji Hanlin and Zhang Bilan and knelt straight down, "Master, madam, I won't sue the housekeeper, it was my fault in the past, so I beg the master and my granddaughter to leave the Ji family." From then on, he never wanted to meet Zhang Bilan again, and he didn't want to continue working for the Ji family.
Lao Li said to Zhang Bilan. How could Zhang Bilan not hear what he meant? The corner of his mouth curled up, "Old Li, look at what you said, you have been in the Ji family for several years. If such a thing hadn't happened, how could I let you leave? Since you insisted on leaving the Ji family, I won't stop you."
Old Li looked at Zhang Bilan excitedly, bowed to her gratefully, and then pulled his granddaughter away step by step.
Guo Xiaoman sighed inwardly, Li Hang looked at her and asked her with his eyes whether she would chase after her.
Guo Xiaoman shook her head. She understood Lao Li’s idea. How could a poor man twist a wealthy and powerful family?
He was afraid that Zhang Bilan would harm his granddaughter again, so he would rather bear the grievance for the sake of his children.
Zhang Bilan smiled with satisfaction, then looked at Ji Hanlin, "Honey, Lao Li is also pitiful. I want to give him some money."
"You can do it." Ji Hanlin patted Zhang Bilan's back of his hand and nodded.
Zhang Bilan curled her lips and looked at the butler, "Butler, you have been in the Ji family for more than ten years. I have always trusted you very much, but I didn't expect you to do such a thing. Now you pay 10,000 yuan to Lao Li. This is the last thing you did for the Ji family."
I don’t know what happened, but Guo Xiaoman always felt that Zhang Bilan’s tone of saying this sentence was strange, but she couldn’t say it.
After hearing Zhang Bilan's words, the housekeeper shook his body, then stood up and said respectfully, "Okay, madam, I'll do it right away."
After the housekeeper went out, Ji Hanlin looked at Guo Xiaoman and said with a smile, "Manman, this incident has caused Xiaohong to be wronged. How do you say you can compensate her? Your mother and I will listen to you."
Guo Xiaoman glanced at Zhang Bilan and said sarcastically, "Xiaohong was indeed wronged in this matter. She was actually harassed by an old man who was almost sixty years old. How could she, a little girl, bear it?"
Guo Xiaoman's words made Ji Hanlin look uneasy and looked at Zhang Bilan unhappily. She brought the housekeeper in the first place. It was logically a trustworthy person. How could he do such a ridiculous thing? It was simply a shame to the Ji family.
Zhang Bilan whispered in aggrievedly, "I know people, but not my heart, and I don't know that the housekeeper actually did this."
"Okay, be careful when hiring people in the future." At this point, Ji Hanlin didn't want to blame Zhang Bilan anymore. Over the years, she has indeed been worried about this family, and he is quite satisfied with it on the big side.
He can work wholeheartedly and never worry about his family affairs.
"Manman, it's all bad for not being a mother. You said, how can I compensate you if I want my mother to make up for you?" Zhang Bilan looked at Guo Xiaoman apologetically.
If it weren't for knowing the truth, Guo Xiaoman would have thought that Zhang Bilan was innocent. Everything was planned by the housekeeper and had nothing to do with her.
"There is no need to compensate. Xiaohong serves me, so I will naturally compensate her, but I have a request."
"What do you ask for? As long as my mother can do it, I will do it."
In front of Ji Hanlin, Zhang Bilan always showed a sense of being virtuous and dignified.
Guo Xiaoman smiled sarcastically and tilted her lips, "Actually it's not a big deal. Since Xiaohong has been taking care of me since I returned to Ji's house, she will only obey me from now on. In the Ji's house, no one can instruct her, only I can."
"A small matter, as long as you are happy." Before Zhang Bilan could speak, Ji Hanlin waved his hand, just a servant, Guo Xiaoman would do whatever he wanted.
Zhang Bilan's face changed. She wanted to suppress her authority as the mistress of the house.
All the servants of the Ji family were controlled by her. Guo Xiaoman actually provoked her, but she was still provoking her nakedly.
"Thank you dad, thank you little mom," Guo Xiaoman said happily, "It's getting late, so I went upstairs to rest. Dad, good night, little mom, good night."
After Guo Xiaoman finished speaking, he got up and went upstairs. Li Hang glanced at Zhang Bilan and Ji Hanlin, and went upstairs to rest.
When she returned to the room, Xiaohong was making the bed for her, her eyes were red and swollen like walnuts, and she was crying conspicuously.
Guo Xiaoman walked over and pulled Xiaohong to sit down, "Xiaohong, Lao Li and the butler have left the Ji family. From now on, no one can hurt you. Moreover, in the future, you only need to be with me in the Ji family. Even Zhang Bilan, you don't have to listen to it."
Xiaohong widened her eyes in shock, "Even Mrs.'s words... can I not listen?"
"Yes." Guo Xiaoman nodded, got up, took out a box from the dressing table, and handed it to Xiaohong.
"I gave it to you, and you will be loyal to me in the future."
Xiaohong was not stupid. Looking at Guo Xiaoman's serious expression, she knew that she wanted her to listen to her in the future, or to do things for her at some point.
In the Ji family, she likes the second lady the most, and she has no airs at all. She is naturally happy to be her person.
Xiaohong nodded violently, "Miss, please don't worry, I will be loyal to you."
Guo Xiaoman smiled, "Don't be so serious. I didn't let you go to the oil pan down the knife mountain, as long as you don't betray me."
"Of course I won't betray Miss Second." Xiaohong sniffed, "I just felt disgusted when I remembered what Lao Li did to me."
"Oh..." Guo Xiaoman sighed, "I have to be hateful about this person. Lao Li's granddaughter was kidnapped by the housekeeper. He had no choice but to do such a thing to you, but this cannot be used as an excuse to make you forgive him. I won't mention this matter in the future and live happily, huh?"
"Well, I will, thank you Miss Second." Xiaohong grinned happily.
