"I wouldn't dare. I was just telling the truth and kindly reminding Miss San not to be too arrogant." The steward said he wouldn't dare, but his words were anything but polite.

Jiang Youli understood.

As expected of the housekeeper for both Jiang Yangxu and Qin Yulian, his attitude was exactly the same – arrogant and conceited.

Jiang Youli put on the gloves she wore for farm work again and walked towards the middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses.

The butler, assuming she was being sensible, couldn't help but feel a hint of smugness in his eyes behind his glasses. "It seems the Third Miss does have some self-awareness..."

Before the middle-aged man could finish speaking, Jiang Youli raised her hand and slapped him across the face, sending his glasses flying several meters away.

"So what if I'm arrogant? How dare you, a mere housekeeper, spout nonsense in front of me, the young lady of the Jiang family? Do you think I came back to be the young lady of the Jiang family to put up with the wrath of you hired servants?" Jiang Youli slowly took off her gloves. "Later, you must tell my third aunt the truth: I have time to farm but no time to see her. If she wants to see me, she can come to the villa in the East District herself. If she wants to put on airs in front of me, she'll have to have the ability."

After saying that, she disdainfully threw the gloves she had taken off at the housekeeper's feet and reminded him, "Also, cherish the days you work for the Jiang family, because you will soon be kicked out of the Jiang family."

The butler, who had been slapped and landed on the spot, covered his face and glared hatefully at Jiang Youli's back. He muttered under his breath, "Pah! She really is an ill-mannered wild girl! Sooner or later, Old Master Jiang will despise her and kick her out of the Jiang family!"

He was the housekeeper for the second master and second mistress. She said she could just kick him out?

What an arrogant and conceited wild brat!

……

Back at the villa in the East District, Jiang Youli went straight to her beautiful new mother, who was wearing a face mask and watching TV with her handsome new father on the sofa, and asked, "Mom, what's the relationship between my third aunt and our family?"

In fact, she probably knew in her heart that if her third aunt had a good relationship with the beautiful new mother and handsome new father, she should attend her welcome banquet.

The reason he didn't come was probably not only because he looked down on her, but also because he didn't have a good relationship with his beautiful new mom and handsome new dad.

Zhang Susu was taken aback, blinking her eyes behind her face mask. "Why are you suddenly asking about your third aunt?"

Jiang Youli told her about her experience in the herb garden.

Jiang Yehan's face darkened upon hearing this. "It seems my second brother doesn't know how to teach his subordinates. Even the butler of the West District villa dares to be so disrespectful to you!"

Zhang Susu glanced at her husband before saying, "To be honest, our relationship isn't very good. She doesn't think much of your father, thinking he lacks ambition and is hopeless. Plus, I haven't been able to have children, and your father still refuses to divorce me, which makes her even more disappointed. She has a better relationship with your second uncle and aunt's family, and she especially dotes on Jiang Yonghe. You could say she's put a lot of effort into raising Jiang Yonghe."

Jiang Yehan coughed twice in exasperation.

Jiang Youli understood. Her third aunt had married into the Long family, a top-tier wealthy family, so she was truly skilled at cultivating Jiang Yonghe, successfully making her a talented woman in Beijing. Among all the young ladies, she caught the eye of Old Master Qi and smoothly married Qi Huan.

Unfortunately, an accident occurred.

It seems that his real purpose in coming back to congratulate her was not so much to offer his support to Jiang Yonghe.

“Youli, you did the right thing. Your third aunt bypassed your grandfather, your father, and me to come find you alone. She definitely didn’t have anything good in mind! If she really wanted to congratulate you, she should have come to the villa in the East District to find you herself!” Zhang Susu agreed with Jiang Youli’s approach. “However, after this incident, your third aunt will probably be even more dissatisfied with you. If she picks on you, don’t confront her directly. Tell your grandfather, your father, or me.”

Jiang Youli nodded, "I understand."

Back in her room, Jiang Youli washed her hands and then called Jiang Xing.

"What is it?" The tone on the other end was slightly impatient.

Jiang Youli raised an eyebrow. "Jiang Xing, not bad. Is this the kind of attitude you use when you talk to me? Did you drink tonight to embolden yourself?"

"Get to the point if you have something to say, otherwise hang up." Jiang Xing, despite being reminded, still showed no intention of improving her tone.

Jiang Youli raised her eyebrows even higher, putting aside his attitude for the moment, and said, "Fire your housekeeper."

"Why?" Jiang Xing questioned.

Oh, you even dare to ask her a question back.

Jiang Xing does seem somewhat rebellious tonight.

Jiang Youli said directly, "This despicable person has offended me. I'm not happy about it, and I can't let him stay in the Jiang family."

"Jiang Youli, you've overstepped your bounds!" Jiang Xing's voice grew even colder.

"So, you're not planning to obediently fire the person?" Jiang Youli didn't want to waste any more words with him. "I just want an answer from you: are you going to fire the person or not?"

The other side refused outright: "He's worked for us for almost ten years; it's not like I can just fire him!"

"Can't you even think of a reason? Or are you not planning to think of one at all? Or are you already planning to disobey me for the sake of a butler?" Jiang Youli asked three questions in quick succession.

"In short, I can't do this. If you really want to fire my housekeeper, you'll have to find a way yourself." Jiang Xing's words became even more assertive.

"What, you're not planning to take the antidote next week?" Jiang Youli asked, quickly realizing the reason for Jiang Xing's change in attitude towards her tonight.

Jiang Xing spoke so confidently tonight, probably because he learned from Boss Lin of the auction house that he would be able to see the poison doctor this weekend and quickly get rid of the poison in his body, so he became fearless.

Jiang Youli couldn't understand why all these people were so impatient.

Whether it's Qi Huan's adopted sister Qi Yu or Jiang Xing now.

Before things were even 100% certain, the truth began to show.

Isn't this asking for death?

Jiang Xing said, "Jiang Youli, I don't believe you would really dare to poison me. Even if your poison is so potent that it can't be detected, if I really die, not only my parents, but my grandfather will definitely be the first to suspect you. Even if you escape legal punishment, you can't escape my parents' revenge in private!"

After saying that, the other end of the phone hung up.

Hearing the busy tone on her phone, Jiang Youli picked it up. Fine, let Jiang Xing be self-righteous for a few days.

The tougher he is now, the more spineless he will be later!

Just then, Duan Jinghan sent a message.

[Tomorrow is the last day of your chance! Jiang Youli, this is a lifelong matter, I hope you've thought it through!]

Jiang Youli continued to ignore it.

……

Starlight Entertainment, CEO's Office.

After hanging up Jiang Youli's call, Jiang Xing felt a rare sense of relief.

He had been feeling incredibly frustrated lately!

Now that he's cured of the poison, he can go back to normal, just like before, without having to worry about Jiang Youli's attitude anymore!

Thinking of this, he was extremely excited.

At this time-

The knocking on the office door calmed him down.

"President Jiang." The assistant's voice came from outside the door.

Jiang Xing immediately said, "Come in."

The door was pushed open, and the assistant quickly walked in, gently closing the door behind him.

Walking to the desk, he took a luxury bag from his handbag and handed it to Jiang Xing, saying respectfully, "Mr. Jiang, the master thief has taken care of what you asked us to do. This is the bag you wanted to steal."
