After I caught the scumbag cheating, Mr. Xiao wanted to marry me

As soon as Xu Dandan left the Human Resources Department, she couldn't wait to call Zhao Yue.

After the call was connected, without waiting for Zhao Yue to speak, she said anxiously, "Yueyue, it seems we made a wrong judgment. This woman named Shen Lan is no small figure. I heard from the Human Resources Department that she has a close relationship with Mr. Xiao. Not only did she move into the Xiao family, but she also got Mr. Xiao's secondary card..."

Xu Dandan took a deep breath and continued, "It is said that President Xiao allows her to use the card freely and buy whatever she wants. Even if she is a personal assistant, she is too close to President Xiao."

Zhao Yue's smile froze when she heard this, her breathing became rapid, and there was silence all around her. She seemed to be able to hear the sound of blood rushing in her veins.

Seeing that she hadn't spoken for a long time, Xu Dandan asked cautiously, "Why don't you ask your dad about the situation?"

Zhao Yue's father is the steward of the Xiao family. Steward Zhao was once the confidant of Old Man Xiao. He watched Xiao Yun grow up and was loyal to the Xiao family.

After Mr. Xiao passed away, Xiao Yun inherited the Xiao family, and Butler Zhao naturally became Xiao Yun's confidant, helping him manage all the big and small affairs of the Xiao family.

Apart from Liu Lin, he knew best what Xiao Yun was doing.

Zhao Yue would call her father every day to ask him about the Xiao family and Xiao Yun, but he never mentioned anything related to Shen Lan.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yue couldn't help but feel a little resentful.

"Yueyue, can you hear me?"

Xu Dandan's voice came from the microphone. Zhao Yue recovered and it took her a long time to find her voice. She said with difficulty, "Well, let me ask."

She hung up the phone with shaking hands. She took several deep breaths before finding her father's number and dialing it.

Butler Zhao answered the phone quickly, and a gentle voice came out of the microphone.

"Yueyue, why did you call Dad suddenly? Are you feeling unwell?"

Listening to her father's concern, Zhao Yue pursed her lips and the anger in her heart lessened a little.

"Dad, I'm fine..." She paused for a moment before aggrievedly saying, "Dad, there's a woman next to Ah Yun, why didn't you tell me?"

Butler Zhao was stunned for a moment, then his expression became serious: "Are you talking about Miss Shen? How did you know about this? Which servant in the house told you?"

The servants of the Xiao family have been screened through layers of screening and are known to be tight-lipped. They will not leak any information about Xiao Yun to the outside world. How did Zhao Yue know this?

"No servant told me." Zhao Yue bit her lower lip, her eyes aggrieved. "I'm not the head of the Xiao family. How could they possibly listen to me? I have my own channels. Just answer me directly, is this true?"

Listening to his daughter's stubborn but tearful voice, Butler Zhao sighed, "That's right. Miss Shen was brought back by the young master, and he's responsible for his three meals a day."

"So she lives in the Xiao family? Which room does she live in? Is it the guest room?" Zhao Yue couldn't wait to ask these questions.

Butler Zhao was silent for a long time before he said, "Neither."

"Where is that..." Zhao Yue said to the side, and suddenly her eyes fixed: "Could it be, could it be that they live on the third floor?"

"Ah."

After Housekeeper Zhao finished speaking, he heard his daughter's rapid breathing and quickly said, "Yueyue, take a deep breath and control your emotions."

Under his command, Zhao Yue's breathing gradually became steady.

She gritted her teeth, tears welling in her eyes, her face pale to the point of being almost transparent: "Dad, how can she live on the third floor? How could Ah Yun allow her to live on the third floor!"

The third floor is Xiao Yun’s territory, and only those who are approved by him can enter the third floor.

Over the years, apart from Old Madam Xiao, she was the only woman who could enter the third floor and stay there for a long time, and now there is one more.

How come Shen Lan can move in directly?

Butler Zhao's heart sank as he listened to his daughter's indignant voice. "Yueyue, this was indeed arranged by the Young Master himself. No matter who this Miss Shen is or what her relationship with the Young Master is, it has nothing to do with you."

"The Xiao family is a wealthy family with great wealth and power, and the young master is the only one in power. And you are just the daughter of a housekeeper. To put it nicely, you are a housekeeper, but to put it bluntly, I am just a servant. You are in poor health, and the Xiao family has few descendants. The old lady will not let you marry the young master."

Butler Zhao belittled his own daughter, and his heart ached so much that it almost bled.

This is his only daughter. After his wife died in childbirth, he raised Yueyue single-handedly. Over the years, he has been both a father and a mother to her, and the love for her is deep in his bones.

In the eyes of Butler Zhao, his daughter is the best girl in the world, worthy of the best. But that is only in his eyes. In the eyes of others, Zhao Yue is not worthy of Xiao Yun, and this is a fact.

Having worked in the Xiao family for many years, he knew very well that many people in the wealthy circle were flatterers and bullies. If his daughter married into the Xiao family, she would be doomed to be bullied because of her background. By then, she would be eaten until not even a bone was left, and it would be too late for him to regret.

"What's wrong with the housekeeper's daughter? As long as Ah-yi loves me, family background and other things are not a problem. He is so powerful that he will definitely protect me. The old lady has loved me since I was a child, and I even saved Ah-yi's life. I am so weak because of saving Ah-yi. She has no reason not to agree to my marriage into the Xiao family!"

Where Butler Zhao couldn't see, Zhao Yue's eyes were red, tears were glistening, and her face was full of stubbornness.

"Dad, I can't choose my background, but if you really love me, you should spare no effort to help me and not hold me back."
