Chapter 272 She was promoted by the Xiao family
Xiao Yun put down his wine glass, sat up straight, and said with no expression on his face, "Tell me more."
When Butler Zhao saw that he had listened, he was delighted and quickly told him what he had thought.
Xiao Yun listened and felt it was absurd and ridiculous.
"Master, this Shen Lan is really not a simple character. You have no experience in matters between men and women before, so it is normal for you to be confused by her. I can understand that. But you really can't indulge in it blindly."
Xiao Yun didn't correct him, nor did he explain anything extra. He moved his fingers and asked calmly, "Then what do you think I should do?"
Butler Zhao stared into his eyes for several seconds and found that he couldn't see through him at all.
He didn't know whether the young master was asking sincerely or testing him deliberately.
But then he thought, he was already leaving the Xiao family, so what was there to worry about? Whether it was for the young master or for his daughter, he couldn't back down.
"The old lady said I was taking advantage of my age and didn't know myself well. I understand my position and know I'm not qualified to give you any advice. But after taking care of you for so many years, I really can't bear to watch you get into trouble."
"For now, it's best to distance yourself from Shen Lan and be wary of her to avoid being plotted against. Also... the young master already has the aftereffects of the poisoning, so he can't ruin his body any further."
When Butler Zhao said the last sentence, his eyes were filled with sorrow, and he was obviously thinking of the time when Xiao Yun got up late.
Xiao Yun's brows darkened slightly: "Is this why you have been targeting Shen Lan?"
Facing Xiao Yun's gaze, Butler Zhao pursed his lips and said, "Not entirely."
"Oh?"
"I have selfish motives as well." Butler Zhao hesitated for a moment and continued, "Yueyue has liked you for many years. You know I love my daughter very much. I've been busy with work for so many years and haven't given her enough care and attention. I feel guilty about her. I want to help her realize her wish."
"Master, I'm sorry." He didn't dare to look Xiao Yun in the eye and lowered his head. "I used my scheme on you. I deserve to be fired."
Xiao Yun didn't say anything, but tapped his finger on the table: "Anything else to say?"
"No, that's all." Butler Zhao didn't know whether Xiao Yun heard what he said, but he knew that he couldn't say such words too much, otherwise it would cause Xiao Yun's disgust.
"Then go ahead. I won't see you off."
Xiao Yun stood up, looked out the window, and waved at him with his back to him.
Butler Zhao looked at his back and his heart tightened.
The child whom he had raised since childhood was pushed away by him.
As soon as Butler Zhao arrived in the living room, he saw Aunt Liu waiting for him with several picture frames standing beside her legs.
"what is this?"
Aunt Liu held the picture frame and said, "The old lady asked me to give it to you."
Butler Zhao's eyes moved, and he quickly squatted down to look at the painting.
He was stunned by what he saw and looked at Liu Ma in astonishment.
“This, these…”
Aunt Liu nodded. "Yes, these were all painted by your daughter. This one was bought by the young master, and the others were bought by the old lady."
Butler Zhao was completely shocked.
The painting that Xiao Yun bought was the first painting Zhao Yue sold publicly after completing her studies.
She was a newcomer and had no fame, but her first painting sold at a very high price, making her famous in the circle.
His career went smoothly after that, and his paintings were sold at high prices one after another.
Housekeeper Zhao has always been proud of his daughter and thinks she is a painting genius.
Only at this moment did she realize that it was the Xiao family who was backing her up.
Aunt Liu looked at the reddened eyes of Butler Zhao and sighed, "Old Zhao, now you understand how good the Xiao family has been to us. The young master and the old lady are both kind and righteous people. After you leave the Xiao family, don't bear grudges or resentment. Live a good life."
Aunt Liu gave the paintings to Butler Zhao and asked someone to help him move them back.
Butler Zhao looked at these paintings with a dejected expression.
The old lady's action was not only to emphasize the Xiao family's kindness to him and his daughter, but also a warning.
Yueyue can be lifted up by the Xiao family, but can also be pulled down by the Xiao family.
Butler Zhao returned home in a daze. Zhao Yue was pacing anxiously in the living room. Seeing her father come back, she hurried to greet him and asked excitedly.
"Dad, how is it? Was Shen Lan kicked out?"
Butler Zhao looked up dazedly, looked at his daughter's excited face, and shook his head: "No, the plan failed."
"How is that possible? We've thought of everything so thoroughly. Even with Master Yu, I..."
"Shut up!" Butler Zhao suddenly shouted angrily, his eyes tense and ferocious: "Don't mention this matter again, never!"
