System: My worldview has collapsed, please let me be quiet
Chapter 174 Taking the Lady Home
At this moment, heavy rain was pouring down, and the bean-sized raindrops hit the ground hard, splashing water.
Outside, rumbling thunder continued to sound, as if the gods were roaring in anger. Lightning flashed across the sky like silver snakes, illuminating the instantly pale scene of this deserted place.
Jiang Meiling, her grandmother and Xiao Ming quickly hid in the hut.
The hut seemed shaky in the wind and rain, and the raindrops hit the roof with a noisy and disturbing sound.
The wind came in through the gaps, bringing a hint of coolness.
Grandma looked at the storm outside with concern, and her hoarse voice was filled with helplessness, "This rain is really heavy, and I don't know when it will stop."
Xiao Ming snuggled up to his grandmother, with a hint of fear in his eyes.
Jiang Meiling looked at them, her heart full of pity, and she was also worried about the bad weather.
The rain was getting heavier, as if it was going to drown the whole world.
The rumbling thunder and dazzling lightning filled this small space with a tense atmosphere.
Jiang Meiling prayed silently in her heart, hoping that the storm would pass as soon as possible so that Grandma and Xiao Ming could return to a peaceful life.
Jiang family.
After the housekeeper returned to the Jiang family, Mr. Jiang immediately received the latest news.
"Master, the young lady has been sent to the wilderness as you instructed."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Jiang turned around.
Mr. Jiang was wearing a well-tailored high-end custom-made suit.
The straight fabric outlines his tall and upright figure.
His hair was combed neatly back without a single strand out of place. Although it was a little gray, it added a bit of steadiness and wisdom that came with the years.
He has a high nose bridge and tightly pursed lips, giving people a feeling of determination and courage.
His slightly upturned chin shows his pride and self-esteem.
"You said, Meiling wants to come home?"
"Yes, sir, but you said that when the young lady wants to come back, send her to the land in the wilderness. So I sent her there immediately..."
Mr. Jiang's face suddenly turned dark.
"Humph! Just because I said send it there, you really should send it there! Let your son go to the wilderness for a day and try it out!"
"Ah! Master, I was wrong! I was wrong!" The butler was so scared that he immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.
He never expected that what the master said was just a temper.
But then again, what kind of father would send his child to such a remote place?
He, as the housekeeper, is also getting old and confused.
"Hurry up and bring the young lady back to me. If she loses even a hair, I will send your son to farm there!!!"
"Ah! I'll go to the master right away!" The butler was so scared that he immediately tucked his tail between his legs and ran away.
It was raining heavily in the shabby little house where Jiang Meiling lived.
With a "tick", it fell on the worn wooden board on the ground that had already been soaked by water, splashing a small water drop.
Immediately afterwards, another drop of water fell and merged with the previous drop to form a small puddle of turbid water.
Rainwater kept dripping from the roof. Some of it fell into a clay pot with a missing corner, making a crisp sound; some of it dripped onto the shabby wooden table, slowly spreading a damp mark.
The whole house was filled with a damp and moldy smell.
In the corner, Xiao Ming and his grandmother curled up, trying their best to avoid the dripping rain.
Their faces were filled with helplessness and sorrow as they watched the dilapidated house become even more shaky in the rain.
Jiang Meiling stood aside, her heart full of pity. The sound of the dripping rain seemed to beat on her heart, making her feel extremely heavy about this difficult life.
After the heavy rain, the air is particularly fresh, but also a little cool.
The land in front of Xiao Ming's house became muddy, and was covered with puddles of various sizes.
The originally withered wild grass is now covered with water droplets, sparkling with crystal light in the sun.
On a small road not far away, the accumulated water was flowing slowly, and occasionally a few fallen leaves floated with the water.
The surrounding trees appear greener after being washed by rain, and the water droplets on the leaves are shaky, as if they will fall at any time.
Just then, a black luxury car slowly drove over, driving carefully on the bumpy road.
After the car stopped, the butler got out. He was dressed in a neat uniform and behaved elegantly.
"Miss, I finally found you. I'm here to take you home!" The butler bowed slightly and said respectfully.
Jiang Meiling looked at the housekeeper curiously, "Didn't you say that my father wouldn't let me go back?"
The housekeeper immediately smiled, "Haha, Miss, you are joking. The master is your biological father after all. How could he really let you stay in a place like this?"
"Oh?" Jiang Meiling raised her eyebrows.
Seeing Jiang Meiling's disbelief, the housekeeper panicked, "Miss, I misunderstood before. Please be magnanimous this time and forgive me."
Jiang Meiling looked at the housekeeper, then turned back to look at Xiao Ming and grandma, her heart filled with reluctance.
She sighed softly, and then said to Grandma and Xiao Ming, "Grandma, Xiao Ming, I'm leaving. I hope your life will get better and better in the future."
Xiao Ming and his grandmother's eyes were full of gratitude and reluctance. They waved their hands and watched Jiang Meiling get on the car.
The car started slowly and gradually disappeared at the end of the path, leaving Xiao Ming and his grandmother standing at the door, looking at the car going away, their hearts filled with warmth and hope.
"Miss, the master has been urging you to go home quickly. This time you finally took the initiative to go home. The master is so happy that I can't wait. I misunderstood you. Miss, you must talk to the master nicely when you go home."
The butler started explaining again in the car, for he was afraid that he would be the first person the young lady would report to when she got home.
However, Jiang Meiling doesn't care about this.
She has nothing to do with the current Mr. Jiang. She just wants to know why Mr. Jiang would ask such an old lady to guard that piece of wasteland.
Jiang Meiling: 002, what is the last name of this housekeeper? How did the original owner call him before?
System 002: Host, the butler’s surname is Lin, and the original owner used to call him Butler Lin.
"Butler Lin, do you know why my father hired an old lady to guard this wasteland?"
"Grandma?" Steward Lin frowned. "Miss, there has never been anyone assigned to guard the wasteland."
"What?" Then...
So what’s going on between grandma and Xiao Ming?
Are they lying?
"Butler Lin, have someone investigate the identities of those two people just now."
"It's Miss."
Jiang family.
As soon as Jiang Meiling got off the car, she was immediately shocked by the scene in front of her.
She had imagined that the vicious female supporting character had a family background and great wealth, but she had never expected it to be this luxurious.
