Chapter 398

"Ahem, Wu Liang, let's go into the study to talk. It doesn't look good to stand here."

After regaining his composure, Su Chengluo coughed awkwardly twice to cover up his embarrassment.

He reached out and patted Wu Liang on the back, leading him towards the living room.

Sigh, the phrase "shortsighted" probably best describes him now.

He naively believed that Wu Liang would continue down the path of a bully...

Good heavens, that was a resounding slap in the face; his face is practically swollen from the blow.

Especially since this happened in front of Sisi, he really lost face in front of his daughter this time.

Even though Xixi explained it to him so carefully yesterday, he still insisted that his daughter was deceiving him and telling lies.

Then, to my utter dismay, I invited Wu Liang to my home for a face-to-face confrontation. Well, that's it now; I never imagined that Shakou would be me.

"Mr. Su, hello, may I join your conversation?"

Su Chengluo had only taken two steps forward when a cold, aloof female voice suddenly rang out in front of him.

Looking up, he saw two stunningly beautiful women dressed in short lace maid uniforms waiting for him on one side of the corridor.

Especially the black-haired beauty who spoke up; she looked at him with the cold indifference of a proud plum blossom.

His dark, inky eyes seemed to be adorned with stars, but his cold face was devoid of any emotion.

It was as if a human-shaped ice sculpture was standing still, constantly radiating freezing air.

"Who are you...?"

Su Chengluo was slightly taken aback when he saw this. Who were these two maids?

Is Su Qian's friend? Or is it some kind of perverse quirk of Wu Liang's?

When did they get here? Why didn't he notice them at all?

"Uncle Su, these are Yao Shi and Milutin. They are my maids and also my and Sisi's good friends."

"And Yao Shi is my deputy; she handles most of the family management."

"You can think of her as my secretary. Having her around will make things much easier for us to discuss the investment later."

Wu Liang explained to Su Chengluo that having Yao Shi with him naturally put him at ease.

After all, he had little contact with the business world, and Yao Shi managed all the affairs at home.

In a sense, he knew absolutely nothing about family investments.

Yao Shi's professional skills are among the best in the entire Wu family. Having her here to communicate with Su Chengluo can help him relieve a lot of pressure.

"I see. Please come in, Miss Shi Yaoshi, Miss Milutin."

Su Chengluo nodded as if understanding, his gaze sweeping over Yao Shi's body.

Such a beautiful and charming child is actually playing the role of a maid and a powerful secretary; she is truly an unfathomable young woman.

It seems that Wu Liang trusts this young woman very much, otherwise he wouldn't have entrusted her with full control over important family matters.

"Su Qian, I need to speak with the young master and your father alone for a while."

Yao Shi turned around and reminded Su Qian not to go into the room yet.

It's not appropriate to have too many people at the beginning of a business discussion, so Su Qian will wait in the lobby for a while.

Moreover, she had some private questions she wanted to ask Su Chengluo, which were not appropriate for Su Qian to know.

"Okay, I'll wait here."

Su Qian smiled gently; she naturally understood the meaning behind Yao Shi.

Although she was curious about how her father and Wu Liang discussed her, since Miss Shi Yaoshi had already said so, she couldn't force herself to follow them in.

"Alright, let's go in then."

Milutin clapped his hands and chuckled, then turned and walked towards the study.

But before her heels could touch the ground, a strong force from the back of her collar pulled her back.

"Milutin is staying here too."

Yao Shi grabbed Milutin by the collar and pulled her to her side, speaking softly.

Milutin also told her to stay here obediently, so as not to cause trouble in front of Su Chengluo and arouse his dislike.

Why?!?

Milutin looked at Yao Shi, her cheeks puffed out in dissatisfaction.

Why can you go in with the young master but I can't?! Is this preferential treatment?! Are you bullying a weak maid?!

"Because I'm the expert, you understand, Milutin."

Yao Shi glanced at her watch, then slowly raised her head and spoke indifferently.

Milutin, that kind of goofball, shouldn't embarrass himself; he's not suited for the business world.

"Milutin, listen to me, your expertise doesn't lie in the business world."

Wu Liang reached out and pinched Milutin's soft cheek with a faint smile.

Actually, he was a little worried that Milutin might cause some trouble. This conversation was very important, so he could only ask Milutin to make do.

"Hmph, since the young master has said so..."

Milutin made a face at Yao Shi. So what if Yao Shi is a little more knowledgeable than her? What's there to be so smug about?

"I'll play games with you tonight."

Wu Liang gently patted Milutin's head and spoke softly.

"You said it yourself, young master! You can't go back on your word."

Milutin thoroughly enjoyed Wu Liang's caresses and couldn't help but close her eyes and hum softly.

Yes, it was the young master's touch that made her feel safe and comfortable. For the young master's sake, she would not hold it against Yao Shi this time.

"Okay, I promise you."

Looking at Milutin, who suddenly snuggled into his arms like a cat, Wu Liang smiled faintly.

Milutin is actually quite cute when she acts cute.

"..."

Yao Shi silently watched Milutin enjoying Wu Liang's caresses, her clenched fists cracking loudly...

Chapter 42: Milutin and Su Qian's Wavering

Milutin stayed obediently in the living room, sitting on the sofa and idly curling the ends of her hair.

Hmph, isn't it just because she doesn't understand business matters? But does that girl Yao Shi really have to shut her out?

She is, after all, the young master's maid. What's wrong with her wanting to stay by his side?

"I think Yao Shi just wants to be alone with the young master, that's why she doesn't want me to come in. That brat is really possessive of her food."

Milutin sat on the sofa, crossed her long white legs, and pouted, complaining unhappily. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and the more she tried to back down, the more she felt she was losing out.

Now that I think about it, it's definitely not a good deal. I should never have agreed to the young master's offer.

She should have been a little more assertive and just barged in! They're both maids, so why is it that only Yao Shi gets to be with the young master?!

(Yao Shi: I am the young master's personal maid, the exclusive maid who takes care of the young master's daily life. What are you?)

"Miss Milutin, are you concerned about what they are saying inside?"

Su Qian, sitting opposite Milutin, quietly watched him, then suddenly got up and sat down next to him.

Susie picked up the teapot on the table, poured a cup of hot tea for Milutin, and placed it in front of him. Following Milutin's gaze, Su Qian looked towards the study.

It had been about ten minutes since my father, Wu Liang, and Miss Shi went inside, and I had no idea what they were talking about.

If nothing unexpected happens, my father and the others are probably discussing the topic of intertwined financial investments.

After all, Miss Shi Yaoshi had already clearly stated that she came here as Wu Liang's secretary.

The other person's demeanor just now was very serious, not like someone who would chat casually with their father.

"I don't care what they say. I can tell it's related to the Su Family's broken cash flow."

Milutin rested her elbows on her plump, fair thighs, propped her chin up, and gazed absently at the study.

Her ruby-red eyes shimmered with a faint light, and her pretty face appeared somewhat dim in the dim light.

Although the young master agreed to go back and play games with her that night, thinking about it carefully, isn't this just like comforting a child?

She also wanted to be able to stay by the young master's side anytime, anywhere, just like Yao Shi, instead of being excluded by the two of them as outsiders.

This feeling of being inferior made Milutin very uncomfortable, even though Yao Shi was the young master's personal maid.

"Miss Milutin, this is the first time I've ever seen you so jealous."

Su Qian smiled elegantly at Milutin, who seemed to be throwing a tantrum.

Milutin has always given the impression of a carefree, passionate, and mature woman.

She had never seen the other person show a girlish expression, either at the academy or in private.

But now, she could see the jealousy in Milutin's little face. Milentin was jealous of Miss Shi and was envious of her.

Judging from this, Miss Milutin cares about Wu Liang no less than Miss Shi.

"Little girl, sometimes you'll be punished for deliberately poking at someone's sore spot."

Milutin did not refute Su Qian's words, but simply raised his right fist and casually waved it in the air.

She wasn't a child; she naturally knew where her displeasure came from.

She was indeed jealous of Yao Shi, jealous of the power Yao Shi wielded, and jealous of the young master's trust and affection for Yao Shi.

She knew very well that these emotions were wrong, and that they shouldn't be there.

As a maid herself, she should prioritize the young master's needs, not compete with Yao Shi for his favor.

But Milutin herself didn't know why, but after seeing the young master's relieved smile towards Yao Shi, she felt very uncomfortable.

It was as if Yao Shi was the only one in the entire Wu family who could put the young master at ease, which made Milutin feel that she did not have the young master's trust.

(Wu Liang: It's really not that I don't trust you, Milutin, don't you know what kind of person you are in this area?)

"I didn't mean anything by it. I just think that Miss Milutin is actually quite nice this way."

"In my memory, Miss Milutin, you have always been a very carefree and willful person."

"You've never seriously considered a person or a thing before, but you're different with Wu Liang. You really want to be by his side."

"Doesn't this indirectly reflect that Wu Liang holds an irreplaceable position in Miss Milutin's heart and that she has extraordinary feelings for him?"

Su Qian covered her mouth and chuckled softly. How could she not envy Miss Milutin for being so bold in liking someone?

In a sense, she greatly admired Miss Milutin and Han Yu.

They are both very brave people, and no matter what happens, they will stay by each other's side.

Unafraid of rejection or being ignored, they will express their love to the other person without reservation.

"Su Qian, you look strange today."

Milutin looked at Su Qian with some confusion after hearing this.

Su Qian gave her a strange feeling today, as if the Su Qian in front of her was not the elegant and dignified student council president.

Why did Su Qian, a young girl who was just feeling conflicted and hesitant because of her troubles, suddenly become like this?

"No, I was just thinking about some ridiculous things."

Su Qian brushed a strand of hair that had fallen across her forehead and then smiled gently.

But her beautiful smile couldn't hide the loneliness and sadness in her eyes.

Thinking about it carefully, there are just too many girls who admire Wu Liang.

Furthermore, each of them is an exceptionally outstanding woman, so outstanding that it is difficult to find any flaws in them.
