Chapter 140: Are You Not Treating Me As a Friend?
"Taotao, what are you doing here?" Xia Yinian carefully rode the horse, slowly approaching Tao Xiaotao.Taotao didn’t expect to run into her here either, and immediately looked up and flashed her a smile.
"Nian Nian, are you here for practice too? It looks like they really consider you as one of their own."
Taotao’s face was all smiles, the sunlight shining on her youthful and attractive face.
"Why are you here?" Xia Yinian finally managed to climb down from the horse.
"I’m helping out here, temporary work."
Taotao wiped off some sweat, indeed holding the tools for washing the horses.
"Young Master Ling is really nice to know I lost my job trying to find you and introduced me to work at the Gu Family."
She leaned in and whispered: "Let me tell you, the salary is insanely high, but it’s a pity I can only do it for about ten days; I won’t be able to once school starts."
The Gu Family has strict requirements for their servants, they do not accept part-time work.
"Why didn’t you tell me?" She became a lady at the Gu Family, but Taotao was helping out here; Xia Yinian felt a little uncomfortable.
"I was afraid it would upset you, so I didn’t say anything."
Taotao understood Xia Yinian, and with a smile said to her, "I’m still short of some money for tuition fees, as you know, and the conditions here are really good, a rare opportunity."
So, there was no need for her to feel upset for Taotao; in fact, the job was really good.
The Gu Family never hires temporary workers; this was an exception.
Xia Yinian exhaled and snatched the things from her hands: "What do you need to do? Let me help you."
She couldn’t just stand by and play while watching Taotao do the dirty and tiring work.
"No need, Nian Nian, you’re the lady here, what are you doing!"
Taotao was frightened and quickly took the items back from her hands.
"I’ll contact you later." Grabbing the tools, she hurried off toward the stable.
After Xia Yinian secured the horse, she also quickly followed: "Tao Xiaotao, are you treating me not as a friend?"
"Nian Nian, I didn’t mean it like that, but you are the lady here."
Taotao really wanted to avoid her, but not because she didn’t consider her a friend.
Caught up by Xia Yinian, Taotao had no choice but to compromise.
"Nian Nian, listen to me, you’re the lady here, if you’re seen with a maid, people will laugh."
"Laugh at what? Who would laugh at me?"
Although Xia Yinian knew there are always some trivial people, she never cared much about their sneers and jests.
"Tao Xiaotao, if you keep this up, it’s like you’re looking down on me!"
Taotao looked at her helplessly: "Alright, I’ll let you help me a bit, but it’s only a bit!"
"Okay!" Xia Yinian took over the washing tools from her hands, feeling much better, "Let’s go, I’ll help you with the work."
Those two slender figures were soon busy in the stable.
It turns out washing horses is actually quite tiring, but the pay Taotao mentioned was enough to make Xia Yinian dead envious.
"1,000 yuan a day? Are you sure it’s really per day?"
God, to not have to cater to others with smiles or accompany someone drinking, and still be able to earn 1,000 a day!
And there’s no need for overtime, working only eight hours a day!
"Why didn’t you tell me about such a good deal, I would have come to work too!"
"Indeed, why don’t you come here to work, instead of being a useless lady?"
Suddenly, a playful laughter broke into the ears of the two.
