Chapter 71: Chapter 71 Ugly

Chapter 71 -71 Ugly

Gong Yan had quietly helped Lin Zhiyi so much; she felt embarrassed to make him feel uncomfortable because of a mere photo.

However, things that needed to be clarified still had to be clarified.

The eldest brother was simply the eldest brother, nothing more.

After a while, Gong Yan sent a smile.

“Get some rest early.”

“Okay.”

After exiting WeChat, Lin Zhiyi casually browsed through her missed calls.

Seeing Gong Chen’s number, she hesitated for a moment but eventually set the phone down and went to take a shower before bedtime.

Early the next morning, Lin Zhiyi got up and headed to the kitchen.

Along the way, she was thinking about what excuse she could use to borrow the kitchen for a bit.

After all, she had been mocked before just for getting something to eat.

To her surprise, upon entering, she found the kitchen bustling with unfamiliar faces.

When they saw her, they immediately set aside their work and greeted her with proper respect.

“Miss Lin, are you hungry? We can speed up a bit, and it’ll be ready very soon.”

The speaker was a woman in her fifties, with a rather kind smile.

Lin Zhiyi had never been treated with such reverence by the servants in the Gong Family before, and she was a bit unaccustomed to it, quickly waving them off.

“No, no, I just wanted to personally prepare breakfast for Madam and the eldest brother.”

She had thought all night about how to thank Gong Yan, so she decided to get up early to make a different breakfast for the mother and son.

The woman rubbed her hands on her apron, cautiously suggesting, “How about we prepare it for you to deliver? We couldn’t possibly let you do it yourself.”

Hearing this, Lin Zhiyi was pleasantly surprised and smiled as she took a clean apron from the rack and put it on.

“It’s okay; I’ll do it myself.”

“Then let me assist you.”

The woman quickly came forward to help.

Lin Zhiyi, with some doubt, whispered, “Are you new?”

The woman nodded repeatedly, her hands never stopping, “Yes.”

“No wonder.” It must be a misunderstanding of her identity, she thought with a smile, “You don’t have to treat me like that, I don’t live here usually, I am…”

“I know, you are the Second Young Miss of the Gong family. Assistant Chen briefed us when we arrived.”

“What? The Second Young Miss of the Gong family? Assistant Chen?”

Chen Jin!

What was he talking about?

The woman efficiently took out ingredients, “Assistant Chen said we must be polite to the family’s young miss, remembering what should and shouldn’t be said. Aren’t you the only young miss in the Gong family?”

This… could be considered true, but the Gong family didn’t acknowledge her.

Why would Chen Jin say that?

A somewhat unlikely idea formed in Lin Zhiyi’s mind.

She turned and stared at the woman, “Who hired you all?”

“Third Young Master.”

“Him? Since when does he deal with these trivial matters?” Lin Zhiyi asked, puzzled, frowning slightly.

“The former servants were gossiping about you behind your back; they were fired by Third Young Master right away.”

The woman was adding water to the dough basin that Lin Zhiyi was preparing.

Upon hearing her words, Lin Zhiyi’s hand slipped, and the entire basin of flour spilled onto the floor.

She quickly apologized, “I’m sorry, that was so careless of me.”

The woman held her back, smiling, “No problem, I’ll clean it up, you go get more ingredients from the fridge you want.”

“Thank you.”

Lin Zhiyi turned around, suppressing her emotions.

She felt certain the woman must have misheard; how could Gong Chen possibly help her?

She didn’t dwell on clarifying it but simply opened the fridge and, to her surprise, saw quite a few sweet rice wine balls.
