Chapter 311 - 313: Shaocheng’s Rage for the Beauty 7_1
"Shaocheng, let it be, it was actually my fault for not looking where I was going."
Gu Shaocheng squinted his eyes, "Let it be?"
"Yes." Chenxing, in a calm and composed manner, lifted her pure, innocent eyes, blinked slowly twice, and looked at Gu Shaocheng. Her previous helplessness and grievances were gone, "Today’s incident, truth be told, is a calamity for anyone involved."
"You are asking me to let her go for breaking the house rules? Where are the family laws then?"
Was this woman too soft-hearted?
This person would easily forgive if begged twice, but when she was cornered earlier, why didn’t she think to step back then?
Gu Shaocheng does not have her generosity, even less her mercy.
"But she is just a young girl, can we really not let it go?"
Chenxing recalled her first visit to the Gu Family. She was injured in the kitchen, and Gu Shaocheng wanted to punish everyone in there. She tried to plead for mercy, but the more she pleaded, the angrier Shaocheng got. Consequently, her voice began to fade.
Her gaze fell as well.
Her lower lip bore the shallow impressions of her teeth from being bitten.
Gu Shaocheng seemed to see right through her little worries and concerns. A faint smile tugged at his lips, his finger propped up her chin, forcing her to lift her head. His voice remained gentle, "She bullied you, and you won’t pursue it?"
"Yes."
Backing off leads to a broader sky. She didn’t like to upset everyone!
However, Gu Shaocheng abruptly changed his tune, thought for a moment, and said, "On the contrary, I can’t. Without rules, there is no order. Do you think my beating her was too much? Then I’ll fire her. Would that be acceptable?"
"Huh?"
"A maid who dares to bully her master like this. I refuse to employ her and will dismiss her. Can you accept this?"
Chenxing’s eyes were clear and calm, listening to Gu Shaocheng’s compromise. She thought it through. This punishment seemed much lighter than beating her. After all, losing this job, she could still find another. But physical pain was real. So, thinking she was doing a good thing, she nodded vigorously, her voice full of gratitude, "Yes, this is good."
Gu Shaocheng must have changed. If it were before, he would definitely have a stern face, making her feel like a storm was coming.
With this thought, Chenxing was happy in her heart.
Gu Shaocheng smiled slightly.
"Butler, did you hear me clearly? This maid, for committing an unforgivable mistake, is officially dismissed."
The butler sighed inwardly, "Yes, sir, I heard you clearly."
When she was initially sent here by her parents, the Gu Family paid her parents a one-time payment of a million, bought her contract, and after her training, she received five thousand per month. However, if anyone was dismissed by the Gu Family because of a mistake, according to the original contract, they must return the full million... The maid felt her world darken as the master spoke about her dismissal, it was worse than enduring a hundred lashes.
A million! She hadn’t seen her parents for five years, they probably spent all the money. She had been almost spending her monthly salary. Where could she get a million to pay back the Gu Family now? The possible consequences of not being able to pay back the money were unimaginable even for her!
"No, don’t, sir, I beg you not to dismiss me, I am willing to accept punishment, really, I am willing to accept any punishment, just don’t dismiss me! Please..."
