Chao Bai didn’t even look at Li Han. He only stared at Kong Rui. “Let’s go in. I still have something to ask you.”
When Kong Rui saw Li Han’s shocked expression, she pursed her lips to hold back her laughter as she reminded Chao Bai, “She’s asking you a question.”
Chao Bai frowned and replied bluntly, “I don’t know her, so why should I answer her?! How would I know who she’s asking?!”
After Chao Bai finished speaking, he pulled Kong Rui’s arm and was about to walk into the room. Seeing this, Li Han shouted at Chao Bai, “We met at the entrance of the residence! Do you remember?”
Chao Bai had no intention of responding, but Kong Rui pulled his arm and stopped him.
Kong Rui didn’t intend to miss such good drama. Moreover, they were still in the courtyard. They couldn’t enjoy peace unless they left.
Chao Bai had no experience in dealing with these things, so he naturally did as he pleased.
However, Kong Rui couldn’t ignore it.
Although Chao Bai was unwilling, he still replied loudly, “I don’t remember you! I don’t want to know you either! Don’t talk to me! You’re very annoying!”
Hearing Chao Bai’s words, Li Han seemed to have suffered a huge blow and tears were about to fall.
Seeing this, Xiao Cui ignored her physical discomfort and took a few steps forward to argue with Chao Bai. “How can you say that?! She’s the legitimate daughter of the Li family. How can you be like this?!”
Chao Bai took a deep breath and turned to face Xiao Cui. “If you continue to be so noisy, I’ll cut your mouth open with your own knife and make you unable to speak again!”
Xiao Cui was so frightened that she immediately covered her mouth with both hands and dared not say anything else. That guy was simply a lunatic!
Xiao Cui was sure that he would do what he said!
Seeing that Xiao Cui was silent, Chao Bai turned to look at Li Han and said impatiently, “Get lost!”
Li Han had never been treated like this before. She immediately fled in tears.
Kong Rui didn’t expect to get Li Han to leave so easily. She stared at Li Han’s back in disbelief, then looked at Chao Bai with admiration. “Impressive!”
Chao Bai smiled insincerely. “Now, we can talk about what you did today and when you can change back…”
Before Chao Bai could finish, Kong Rui covered his mouth. Kong Rui had a warning expression on her face as she said, “I already told you that you have to listen to me!”
Chao Bai blinked. He was reluctant, but he still nodded.
Kong Rui finally let go of Chao Bai and walked towards the hall in the courtyard.
The courtyard was in square shape. In addition to two rows of four rooms, there was a bedroom and two rooms behind the central hall.
Kong Rui arranged for Chao Bai to stay in one of the rooms on the east side and asked the servants to tidy up the bedroom in the middle.
The two of them walked into the hall one after another. The servants outside the door quietly gathered together to discuss.
“Miss Li Ling is so impressive. Young Master Cong listens to her so obediently!”
“That’s right! Young Master Cong is really devoted to Miss Li Ling. Look at how angry Miss Li Han was just now!”
The two uninjured servants, one carrying a basin of water and the other a broom, gathered together. They looked at Li Ling and Chao Bai’s backs with smiles.
“She deserves it! Ouch! My back still hurts from the whip!” The servant, who had two bloody wounds on her back, cried out in pain as she gritted her teeth.
“That’s because you’re too gossipy! In the future, don’t gossip behind our masters’ backs!” The servant who first discovered Li Han also spoke.
“Why are you pretending to be high-minded? Miss Li Han almost crippled your leg last time. Don’t you hate her?” The injured servant scoffed.
“I… I deserved it!”
“You just accidentally splashed water on her when you were sweeping. Is there a need to break your leg? However, Miss Li Ling wasn’t like this before! I remember that she chased after her former maidservant with a whip to kill her!”
“That’s right! At that time, wasn’t there a maid who was hung on a tree for three days because she ate one of her pastries? By the time she was saved, she was barely alive!”
“How strange. Miss Li Ling seems to have changed quite a lot!”
“Could it be related to Young Master Cong?”
As soon as she said this, the servants exchanged looks and chuckled.
“Alright, alright! Stop chatting! The butler will beat us up again when he sees that we haven’t finished our work!”
At the mention of the butler, the servants immediately shrank back and started to get busy.
