Chapter 135 - Cinderella Story
Chapter 135 - Cinderella Story
Unfortunately, now another woman appeared who was apparently the young master's girlfriend. They felt hostility towards her and were incredibly jealous and envious.
Jiang Yingyue could feel the many glances that were sent her way the moment she stepped in front of the door to the house. Her floral dress and cute white stilettos made her seem like a refined young woman, especially so when she was wearing her long-haired wig.
Her face was incredibly beautiful. She was so attractive that everyone sucked in a deep breath of air when they saw her; it was clear that she was not only stunning men but also women alike.
Her appearance was indeed worthy of being with Han Qingshan, but all of them had heard about her poor background and knew that she was nothing more than a pretty face.
Although she dressed like this, she was not a socialite. She did not have what the other young women in the circle had, and she would not bring any benefit to the family if they ended up marrying.
The background they knew of was that Jiang Yingyue came from the countryside and had poor parents. No one had gotten hold of the information about her living her life as a man for nine years.
Even so, there was still displeasure about this young woman. She was not fit to be with their young master, and they were not satisfied with her. Who was she to come strutting into their house like this?
If Han Qingshan had to go for a Cinderella story, why not focus on his own maids? That would have been much better, and they would have a chance to shine, but Han Qingshan had never done anything illicit towards his maids.
When Jiang Yingyue arrived, she was dropped off right in front of the open main doors of the mansion. She went up, knocked on the door, and waited at the doorstep for a time, but no one came to greet her.
She could not help but frown as she looked into the mansion where she saw maids and butlers alike standing around. Some were chatting, some were working, but one thing they all had in common was that they were all ignoring her completely.
She pursed her lips but said nothing. She had not been given his mother's number so she could not text her to tell her that she had arrived, and as a result, all she could do was wait.
She was new to stilettos and high heels in general, and after standing for ten minutes outside the door her feet started hurting, but she did not show her discomfort on her face; her expression was serene.
In the end, she was aware of who was going to have problems when the madam noticed that she had been ignored for this long.
Jiang Yingyue was not one to insult others, but if people were rude to her, she would not be polite. She did not believe in returning evil with good.
If anyone were rude to her, if anyone was harsh towards her, then she would get her revenge.
These people were ignoring her, letting her stand outside the door for as long as they did. Clearly, she was going to tell on them. She could not help but wonder if they were idiots. Did they truly think she would not dare to offend them?
The housekeeper finally arrived, his eyes widening in shock when he saw that Jiang Yingyue was standing outside the door, and when he looked at her, he saw a trail of blood on her feet. The shoes had dug into her skin and left a cut, but when he looked at her, her face was as serene as before. There was not the slightest trace of pain on her face.
He instantly knew that this woman was not simple, and his gaze became complicated. He was in charge of every person in the household, but they had already done such a thing without consulting him first.
"You must be Miss Jiang." The housekeeper was not keen on this woman either, but he knew that they could not go against their masters, and Madam Han had asked for her to be brought to the atelier as soon as she arrived.
In an attempt to save the maids and butlers around, he rushed to scold them. "Did you not see Miss Jiang?!" he exclaimed with an angry voice. "She is an esteemed guest of the Han family, and you treated her like this? This is truly unacceptable, all of you come and apologize right away!"
He was attempting to make them apologize so that Jiang Yingyue's anger would dissipate and then she would not complain to Yan Meilin. Unfortunately, he had underestimated Jiang Yingyue entirely.
"There is no reason to apologize," Jiang Yingyue said with a slight smile on her face, a smile that made all of them stunned by her beauty.
"I am a mere commoner after all, how can I afford to get an apology from such esteemed personnel?"
Hearing this, the housekeeper's heart sank. He had accidentally displayed his dislike of this woman, and the others had seen that as an acceptance of them making it difficult for her.
He felt cold sweat appear on his body. "Miss Jiang, please be magnanimous, these servants were unaware of your esteemed status." He tried his best to save them, but a ruthless gleam appeared in Jiang Yingyue's eyes.
"Were they really?" she asked with a brilliant smile on her face and a cold chill in her eyes.
