Woman 30: I regained my life after divorce

Taking inventory of items is a huge undertaking, especially since these items vary in size.

The old housekeeper skillfully directed the two women, controlling the overall situation and instructing Wang Ma and Liu Ling to categorize the items according to their type.

Ceramics are placed together, oil paintings are placed together, and many other strange and odd items are placed together.

Soon the entire room was filled with items.

"We'll sort out the ceramics first, and pile the oil paintings together. We'll sort out the oil paintings after we've counted the other items."

The old housekeeper handed over the items one by one according to the detailed list, while Wang Ma and Liu Ling listened to the old housekeeper's description and used their eyes to search for the corresponding items among the items.

During this time, Wang Ma was very proactive and handled the items with great care.

In contrast, Liu Ling was slow and indecisive, showing little willingness to cooperate. Even so, the old housekeeper did not intend to criticize Liu Ling.

Wang Ma and Liu Ling helped each other, and the two quickly took inventory of most of the items under the guidance of the old housekeeper.

Sure enough, during the inventory process, the old butler finally discovered that some items were missing.

Without exaggeration, the old butler silently kept all of this in mind.

"Judging from the situation, I'm afraid the three of us will need to work overtime today. Do you two agree? If so, let's stop what we're doing and grab a bite to eat first."

Unlike the landlord, the old steward did not completely deduct the two people's rest time, but instead made them drink water and eat every now and then.

Wang Ma glanced at the time, frowned, and reported to the old housekeeper.

“Miss Wan Ning may need to wait a while before I go to pick her up. May I go out for a bit and bring Miss Wan Ning back so we can check the items together?”

Without much thought, the old housekeeper immediately agreed to Wang Ma's request.

"Okay, then you go quickly. I'll cook some food, and we'll eat together when you get back."

In the Bai family's old house, the employer allowed the nanny and the housekeeper to eat at the same table.

Moreover, Zhou Xinyao and Bai Yunchuan didn't go home today, so the old housekeeper is in charge at home.

Wang Ma nodded and went straight back to her room to change her clothes. Before leaving, she made a point of saying goodbye to the old housekeeper.

Liu Ling stopped what she was doing and watched as Wang Ma left, leaving only her and the old housekeeper in the room.

"Brother, let's rest for a while too."

The old housekeeper didn't want to pay attention to Liu Ling, mainly because the word "brother" that Liu Ling kept uttering was too cloying.

We're all getting on in years, how can we shamelessly act cute and coquettish?

"You rest first, I'll go cook."

The old housekeeper didn't want Liu Ling to get involved in cooking, so he could only let Liu Ling return to her room to rest for the time being.

On his way to the kitchen, the old housekeeper called Bai Yunchuan.

"Young Master, we've inventoried half the items so far and discovered that two things are missing. We'll finish the inventory tonight and then I'll report back to you."

The old butler gave a clear report and then hurriedly hung up the phone.

Like Zhou Xinyao and Bai Yunchuan, the old housekeeper also harbored suspicions about Wang Ma and Liu Ling.

Wang Ma quickly brought Liu Wanning home, and the four of them gathered at the dining table.

Seeing Liu Wanning's happy expression, Liu Ling decided to tease her.

"Princess Wanning, do you know what your parents are doing today when they're not home?"

Liu Wanning shook her head. She had spent the night at a friend's house yesterday and hadn't spoken to Zhou Xinyao at all.

"Hmph, what could it be? It's just overtime at the company, right?"

Liu Ling shook her head, a teasing look on her face, and said meaningfully to Liu Wanning.

"That's not right..."

When Wang Ma saw that Liu Ling wanted to tell the truth, she frowned. It would be better for Zhou Xinyao and Bai Yunchuan to tell Liu Wanning the truth themselves.

"Sister Liu, don't be nosy!"

Wang Ma's reminder failed to stop Liu Ling. The next second, Liu Ling glanced at Wang Ma impatiently, then looked at Liu Wan Ning with a smile and said, word by word.

"Madam and Master are in the hospital now. Your little brother was born last night. We'll be able to welcome the young master home together in a few days."

"A few of us cleaned the room for the young master and the new nanny today, hehehe, Princess Wanning, are you happy?"

Upon hearing Liu Ling's words, Liu Wanning's face instantly fell, she threw her chopsticks to the ground, and got off her chair.

"Hmph! I don't want to eat!"

After saying that, Liu Wanning turned around and walked towards her room, leaning on her cane.

Watching Liu Wanning's departing figure, Liu Ling was speechless and muttered to herself.

"Hehe, this person is small, but has quite a temper! I think Miss Wan Ning's temper is completely different from that of Madam and Master!"

After spending time together, everyone learned about Liu Wanning's background; she was not Bai Yunchuan's biological child.

Wang Ma spoke up, dissatisfied.

"Sister Liu, you talk too much. Look, you've made Miss Wan Ning angry!"

Liu Ling glanced indifferently in the direction where Liu Wanning had disappeared and said nonchalantly.

"Ah, a child who has nothing to do with the master. It's only because the master is a kind person that he doesn't mind Miss Wan Ning at all."

At that moment, the old butler heard a commotion coming from the kitchen, but he didn't know what the people outside were saying.

As soon as they came out, the old housekeeper discovered that Liu Wanning had disappeared.

Liu Ling spoke first, fearing that Wang Ma would exaggerate the report.

"Miss Wan Ning is not feeling well, she will not be eating dinner tonight."

The old housekeeper looked at Wang Ma with suspicion, trying to get the truth out of her.

Wang Ma didn't tolerate Liu Ling's behavior and answered directly, exposing the hypocrisy in Liu Ling's words.

"That's not how it is at all. Miss Wan Ning is angry for a reason!"

"It was Sister Liu who told Miss Wan Ning that the Madam and Master had given birth to a baby boy in the hospital and that they no longer wanted Miss Wan Ning."

Wang Ma spoke frankly, pointing out the reason why Liu Wanning was angry.

The old housekeeper was very dissatisfied with Liu Ling's actions.

However, Liu Wanning has already left, and even if we go looking for her now, she won't come over for dinner.

The old butler had no choice but to say...

"Let's eat first, and then we'll bring some food to Miss Wan Ning later. We can't let her go hungry."

The old housekeeper knew Liu Wanning's importance and dared not slack off in the slightest.

Before Liu Ling could say anything more, the old housekeeper interrupted her with a stern look.

"Let's eat first, we still need to continue the inventory later!"

Upon hearing about the inventory count, Liu Ling lost all interest in the task, her mind preoccupied with how to escape her predicament.
