After I caught the scumbag cheating, Mr. Xiao wanted to marry me

Chapter 258: Kill the Old Man

Shen Lan was thinking about going to Lu's house tomorrow and felt anxious.

Staying overnight at the Lu family means that you must be cautious and vigilant at all times, and not let anyone discover your secrets.

While thinking about something, Shen Lan walked into the main hall of the house. Before she took a few steps, a figure suddenly blocked her way.

Fortunately, she reacted in time and braked, otherwise she would have probably crashed into it.

"Butler Zhao?"

Butler Zhao stood in front of her with his hands behind his back, his brows furrowed, lines on his face full of wrinkles, and his eyes were intimidating without anger.

"Three hours."

"Huh?" Shen Lan looked puzzled. "What do you mean three hours?"

"You were out for three hours." Butler Zhao's tone became heavier, his eyes sharp. "As the young master's personal assistant, you actually neglected your duties and went out without permission during work hours, and didn't return for a full three hours."

It turned out to be because of this...

Shen Lan's brows relaxed, and the corners of his lips curled up lazily: "So, what advice do you have, Butler Zhao?"

Seeing her lazy and disdainful look, Butler Zhao's face turned blue with anger: "It's okay to neglect your duties, but I pointed out your problems, but you don't repent, your attitude is bad and arrogant..."

"Stop, stop, stop!" Shen Lan made a silencing gesture and looked at him indifferently: "Butler Zhao, please don't put the blame on me. You are the butler of the Xiao family, and I am an employee of the Xiao company. We should belong to two different systems. It seems that you have no qualifications to discipline me."

Butler Zhao's expression changed slightly.

Shen Lan sneered, "No, I was wrong. I'm not an employee of Xiao's either. I remember when we signed the contract, it was Xiao Yun who signed it with me in his personal name. Xiao Yun hasn't said anything yet, why did you jump out?"

"Or do you think that just because you've been the Xiao family's housekeeper for so many years, you have the right to speak above Xiao Yun? Are you taking advantage of your seniority?"

With every word she spoke, Butler Zhao's expression grew uglier, until by the end his face had become as black as the bottom of a pot.

"Miss Shen, please be careful with your words. I just feel bad for my young master. I paid you a large salary and let you live in the Xiao family. The Xiao family takes care of your food, clothing, housing and transportation. But you neglected your duties and did your work perfunctorily. My young master didn't make a fuss with you, but I really can't stand it!"

"If you can't stand it, then don't watch it. Who forced you to do that?" Shen Lan impatiently replied, "It's as if the Xiao family belongs to you. Xiao Yan hasn't felt bad yet, but you feel bad first."

Before, Shen Lan gave him some face and didn't bother with the old man. He spoke politely. But this was the first time he was so sharp. Butler Zhao was stunned and didn't react for a while.

When he realized what was happening, his face turned blue with anger.

The servants nearby all hid far away. They were afraid of Butler Zhao, but Shen Lan was not.

"I was invited back by your young master. Although I signed a contract and received a salary, I can only be considered half a guest of the Xiao family. Is this how you treat your guests?"

"Also, from my first day on the job, Xiao Yun told me that I only needed to take care of the three meals a day, and the rest of my time was free to do as I pleased. I felt embarrassed, so I stayed by his side and fulfilled my duties as his personal assistant."

"I've been going out every afternoon these past few days, reporting to Xiao Yun and getting his permission, and I haven't missed any meals. What right do you have to accuse me of neglecting my duties? You're really capable of slinging dirt and accusing me without any real reason."

Butler Zhao has had a smooth life in the Xiao family over the years. The servants in the family, those who need help from the Xiao family, and even some company bosses are all polite to him. He has never been treated like this before.

He was so angry that his eyes became bloodshot and his face looked ferocious.

Shen Lan spoke a lot in rapid succession, then raised his eyebrows and asked, "Butler Zhao is so strict with me, he must be demanding of himself even more."

Butler Zhao took a deep breath, raised his chin, snorted coldly, and finally regained his composure: "Of course, under my management, the Xiao family is well-organized and well-regulated, and there has never been any chaos. As long as I am responsible for something, there are almost no mistakes."

This is the proudest thing in his life. If he didn't have these skills, he wouldn't have been able to sit firmly in the position of chief steward for so many years.

"Oh, is that so." Shen Lan's eyes flashed with a strange light, and he suddenly curled his lips and chuckled.

Butler Zhao looked at it, frowned slightly, and had a bad feeling in his heart.

"What's wrong? Miss Shen looks disdainful of me."

Shen Lan didn't say anything. He lowered his head and tapped the phone screen twice quickly, then showed him the screen.

"Butler Zhao, please take a look at this photo before you speak."
