Chapter 1257 - 1256: Putting Xiao Keyu in His Place
Jane Keyu spoke, and really started seeing herself as the owner of this house. The butler listened, and his eyes instantly deepened, looking at Jane Keyu, he directly grabbed Jane Keyu by the collar.
This frightened Jane Keyu, who didn’t expect the old butler to actually dare to take action. She immediately screamed, "Help! Help! The old butler is trying to kill this young master! Hurry up, this jerk actually wants to kill this young master, why are you all just standing there?"
The servants heard this and watched from a distance, but didn’t dare to approach.
After all, the old butler was a favorite of Old Master Xiao, and nobody dared to offend him. Having been with Old Master Xiao for so many years, he practically managed everything in the Xiao Mansion. However, Jane Keyu was also cherished by Xiao Zhen, neither of whom they could afford to offend, so they acted as if they saw nothing.
The butler, in his early years, had served in the military with Old Master Xiao, so he was strong, even in old age, and was still particularly robust. Jane Keyu, a mere child, was no match for him.
Grabbing Jane Keyu was like an eagle grabbing a chick, effortlessly: "You may regard yourself as something special, but it seems a bit too early to be arrogant in front of me."
At this moment, Jane Keyu was indeed afraid, realizing that the butler didn’t care about anything. She bowed her head, wanting to kneel and beg for mercy.
"Butler Grandpa, I know I was wrong, please let me go, for my father’s sake. If my father returns and hears about this, he won’t forgive you either. Let’s resolve this peacefully, please let go of my collar."
However, upon hearing this, the butler sneered: "I don’t take anyone’s face into account when doing things, not even if your father comes, and even your grandfather coming wouldn’t help."
After the butler finished speaking, he kicked Jane Keyu in her butt: "I’ve long found you unpleasant. I’ve given you many chances, but I never expected you to be so rude. Today, I’ll discipline you on behalf of your grandfather."
After finishing, the butler delivered another kick, aiming for painful but hidden spots, while Jane Keyu lay on the ground, bawling.
Realizing the butler wouldn’t spare her, Jane Keyu’s words turned even more malicious.
"How dare you beat me like this? When my father returns, I’ll definitely report you. A malicious old man like you doesn’t deserve to be a butler in the Xiao Mansion. When my father returns, he’ll surely strip you of your position. Although my grandfather doesn’t like me, I’m still his grandchild. Who do you think you are? Just a dog of the Xiao Family, daring to insult me like this. Just you wait, I won’t let you off."
The harsher Jane Keyu’s words became, the more strength the butler used. Jane Keyu realized this and dared not curse further.
"Alright, let your father come to find me. I’ll see how your father removes me from my post. And don’t you believe your grandfather will stand up for you? Call your grandfather over then, see who he’ll support. So many people are watching here, you can’t deny it, and there are cameras. I’d like to see how you’ll deny it then. This world still adheres to reason."
After hearing the butler’s words, especially his assured tone, Jane Keyu was uncertain and could only sit on the ground crying.
The nanny taking care of Jane Keyu knelt beside the butler at this point.
"Old Butler, I plead with you, take it easy, otherwise it’ll be hard for me to explain to the young master when he returns."
With Jane Keyu being beaten, the nanny naturally had responsibilities, but the butler merely glanced at the nanny.
"Why worry so much? Just pretend you didn’t see it. Besides, I’ll bear the responsibility, you as a nanny don’t have to. If anything happens, let them come to me."
The butler spoke and delivered another kick, finally feeling satisfied: "Today was just a small lesson, but I hope you remember to be thankful to everyone serving you in this house. Who would want to serve someone with your temperament outside?"
"And don’t think you’re some young master, it’s just face your father gives you. If not for your father’s face, do you think you could still live in the Xiao Mansion?"
"Today, seeing as you’re just a teen, I’ll let you go."
With that, the butler clapped his hands nonchalantly, as if he hadn’t just been the one hitting someone, while the nanny and servants each gave him a thumbs up.
No one expected the butler to be so formidable. Previously only heard of, seeing it today made them respect the butler even more. The butler had done what they wanted to do but didn’t dare.
Jane Keyu, in the Xiao Mansion, hadn’t been Xiao Zhan for just a day or two and had always been so arrogant, almost no one could control him. These servants could only turn a blind eye.
When Ye Jingli was around, no one was allowed to bully her son. Let alone hitting Jane Keyu, even saying a few words to Jane Keyu would have that kid tattling to Ye Jingli.
Currently, Jane Keyu lay trembling on the ground, and her nanny came over, afraid of her tantrum, only able to stand aside and watch.
"Daring to bully me like this, you’re all rebelling."
"Don’t forget who’s the master of this house or who bears the Xiao name. Do you really think that staying here for so long makes you the owner? Just wait and see."
After hearing Jane Keyu’s words, even the nanny serving her dared not linger, fearing a sudden tantrum from her.
Everyone was scared of getting into trouble, so they quickly dispersed like birds and beasts, while Jane Keyu, beaten and in pain, struggled to get up. Seeing nobody cared, she became even angrier but could only angrily pound the ground.
Suddenly, spotting the Gardener, she shouted, "Hey, you ugly thing, aren’t you going to help me up? Didn’t you see me getting beaten by that brute?"
The Gardener, busy with his work, saw nobody else around and hurriedly picked up his tools and went to the other side to trim the gardens instead.
Jane Keyu’s eyes widened in disbelief at their audacity.
"You’re all unreasonable, bullying me like this, just wait."
Jane Keyu’s voice was loud, and filled with hatred, even after four decades of life, the Gardener felt scared, speeding up his hands even more.
