Chapter 25: The Respect Huo Jincheng Gave Her

Chapter 25: Chapter 25: The Respect Huo Jincheng Gave HerLu Xingzhi smirked, meeting again like this, what’s that supposed to mean. Since Huo Jincheng wasn’t home, could it be that Miss Shen came over at this time specifically to see her? If not, then why did Housekeeper Zhuo call her down in front of Shen Xinzhu? "Is Miss Shen here to see Huo Jincheng? He’s at the company right now." Lu Xingzhi sat down on the sofa beside her. "I didn’t come to see Brother Jin, I came to see you." Shen Xinzhu showed a faint smile to Lu Xingzhi, but her eyes didn’t regard her as worth noticing. "Oh!" Shen Xinzhu: "..." She didn’t expect Lu Xingzhi to react like this. Shouldn’t she have been surprised, or at least asked why? "Aren’t you surprised?" Shen Xinzhu asked. "Surprised." Lu Xingzhi cooperatively responded. Such a half-hearted answer made Shen Xinzhu a bit angry. She didn’t come today to let Lu Xingzhi anger her. "Miss Lu, can we discuss this outside?" Shen Xinzhu smiled warmly, holding back her anger. Lu Xingzhi glanced outside, the sun was blazing, and she refused, "Let’s talk here instead!" Shen Xinzhu: "..." She’d never seen a woman as obtuse as Lu Xingzhi. She shot a look at Zhuo Yixiang, and then Zhuo Yixiang signaled for the two servants in the hall to leave. "Housekeeper Zhuo, before you and these two sisters leave, let me call your master first!" Lu Xingzhi directly took out her phone. "Miss Lu, the master is busy at this time, why do you need to call him?" Zhuo Yixiang asked unhappily. "I need to ask him, since when did you, as the housekeeper, and an outsider like Miss Shen have the authority to make decisions? Ask him if it’s false that you all address me as ’madam,’ the mistress of this house?" Lu Xingzhi smirked sarcastically, then continued. "Housekeeper Zhuo, do you believe if I tell Huo Jincheng today that you don’t respect me, tomorrow you’ll have no chance to stay here?" Lu Xingzhi had this confidence, not because she thought she was particularly important to Huo Jincheng. This was just a form of respect Huo Jincheng had for her. "Miss Lu, why be so serious? Housekeeper Zhuo has been with this villa for a long time, even Brother Jin values him, even though I’m an outsider, I’ve shared many years of friendship with Brother Jin. I believe Housekeeper Zhuo is only acting this way because I’m a guest." Listening to Lu Xingzhi’s words made Shen Xinzhu even more uncomfortable. However, Zhuo Yixiang acted as her informant in this villa, allowing her to find out many things she wanted to know. She naturally wanted to speak up for him. "It seems Huo Jincheng lied to me about many things. He said anyone I dislike in this villa could be asked to leave. He also said that between him and Miss Shen, there wasn’t even the slightest acquaintance." Lu Xingzhi’s words were truthful, and what she didn’t say was that Huo Jincheng also mentioned that Shen Xinzhu was ugly and unimportant. These words, considering that Shen Xinzhu was a woman, granted her some face after all. However, Shen Xinzhu still felt humiliated, Lu Xingzhi had directly undermined her dignity. "Miss Lu, I’m just a servant, you can say whatever you like about me. But Miss Shen is a guest, you should show her some respect."
