Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 568 - 566: Counterattacking Sister Hui

Jiayi couldn’t be bothered to say more to Sister Hui and turned to continue her way upstairs.

Clenching her teeth, Sister Hui followed a few steps up the stairs and blocked Jiayi’s path, grabbing her arm in an attempt to stop her, "Miss Chu, if you insist on this, don’t blame me for being rude!"

Without a second thought, Jiayi shook off Sister Hui’s hand.

Sister Hui stumbled, twisting her foot, but luckily she clung to the handrail and didn’t fall. Seeing Jiayi turn and continue upstairs, her face changed. Her eyes darted about, and then she simply sat down on the ground with a thud!

"Are you alright, Sister Hui?" The maid from downstairs was startled and hurriedly ran up to help her up.

Glaring at Jiayi, Sister Hui accused, "Miss Chu, are you hitting people just because you’re the little young master’s birth mother? Even the young master and the old master never treated me—"

Jiayi hadn’t expected her to fall. She clearly saw Sister Hui steadying herself on the handrail. How could she know Sister Hui was so frail that she fell with just that? Jiayi furrowed her brows.

Before she could finish, the door to the study on the second floor banged open.

"What’s the matter with all this noise? Didn’t I say the Boss is in a meeting?"

Ade came out, leaned over the railing of the second-floor corridor, and barked at the people below; then, he glanced back and stepped aside, "Boss."

Seeing the young master come out, Sister Hui immediately perked up and started crying in the maid’s arms, "Young Master, we told everyone you were in a meeting and didn’t want to be disturbed, that no visitors should come in. We politely asked Miss Chu to wait downstairs until your meeting was over... but Miss Chu just barged in without a word, and even pushed me down the stairs. Ah... ow, my poor old bones..."

"Is anything wrong?" Ade was surprised.

"No, no," Sister Hui squeezed out a few tears, claiming to be fine but clutching her waist as though she’d been bullied.

Huo Zhenyang’s deep gaze shifted to the anxious little woman in the stairwell; her look towards him was somewhat icy. He guessed what she was here for.

"I didn’t push you at all, you fell down by yourself!" Jiayi glared at Sister Hui.

Having lived her years, Sister Hui had some skill in acting. Her face turned a furious red, her tone laced with sarcasm, "Yes, Miss Chu didn’t push me! Miss Chu is the one who bore the Huo Family’s little young master, so even if she tramples recklessly on us servants, what can we servants say? I fell down myself, alright?"

Her words evidently stoked quite a bit of empathy; the maid supporting Sister Hui and several other servants from the villa couldn’t help but cast dissatisfied looks towards Jiayi.

Jiayi’s expression changed, Sister Hui had been bent on attacking her from the start.

Her status in the Huo Family was already awkward, and now, in the eyes of the Huo Family’s servants, she was seen as a bully, further tarnishing her reputation.

Although she didn’t care about how she was perceived by the people of the Huo Family, that didn’t mean she was willing to be slandered like this.

At this moment, an elderly lady quickly approached, "Sister Hui, Miss Jiayi barely applied any force, I clearly saw you steady yourself on the stair railing. You chased after her and fell by yourself later, don’t wrongfully accuse Miss Jiayi."

It was Auntie Li who came over. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Having been called back to the Huo Family by Huo Zhenyang, Auntie Li temporarily lived at Disheng Villa upon her arrival in Yunling City.

Since the villa already had a full staff of maids, Sister Hui, as the butler, had Auntie Li take care of various odd jobs around the courtyard and garden.

Auntie Li had just been pruning flowers and plants with the gardener when she saw Jiayi burst into the villa. She followed quietly and witnessed the scene.

Seeing Sister Hui speaking nonsense, merely intending to intimidate Miss Jiayi, Auntie Li couldn’t help but speak up.

"Auntie Li, do you have no other chores outside?" Sister Hui was well aware that Auntie Li had once taken care of Jiayi for a while. Annoyed and embarrassed, she thought, This old hag still treats that Chu Jiayi like her master, still hoping Chu Jiayi could truly become the young mistress of the Huo Family, "You’d better make yourself clear today. Why would I falsely accuse Miss Chu? The servants saw everything clearly. If Miss Chu hadn’t pushed me, how could I have fallen?"

"You’ve always looked down on Miss Jiayi, terrified that she might get too close to the young master or be favored in the Huo Family. It’s almost written on your face. Who do you think you’re fooling! Pah!" Auntie Li retorted with disdain.

Sister Hui’s face turned eggplant purple with fury. That old bat, she thought, as long as she stays in this Disheng Villa, she’ll have her day of reckoning. Just wait!

With that thought, Sister Hui had no time to argue anymore. Containing her anger, she turned towards the upstairs, her face collapsing as she covered her waist and sobbed, "Young master—"

"Enough," Huo Zhenyang was already impatient, "I’ve seen you making a fuss for quite some time. Even if you fell, it’s not serious! If it’s not serious, then get back to work."

Seeing that the young master still sided with Jiayi, Sister Hui could only grit her teeth and replied, "Yes, Young master." She then angrily glanced at Auntie Li, "And you! Go back to your work!"

Just as she was about to be helped out by the maid, she heard Jiayi’s voice, "Wait a moment."

Sister Hui’s steps faltered, and she looked at Jiayi.

Jiayi glanced at Auntie Li, then her gaze gradually shifted, landing on Sister Hui, "Speaking of which, Auntie Li has been in the Huo Family longer than Sister Hui. The villa’s affairs are numerous but manageable. It’s too strenuous for Sister Hui to handle everything alone."

Huo Zhenyang, with his hands resting on the second-floor railing, squinted his eyes, a faint smile playing on his lips as if he understood what this young woman was up to.

Sister Hui was momentarily stunned, "Miss Chu, what do you mean by this?"

"My meaning is quite simple. Auntie Li is a veteran of the Huo Family. Having her do menial tasks is a waste of her capabilities. Shouldn’t she share some of the management duties of Disheng Villa with Sister Hui?" Jiayi glanced at the man upstairs, her tone polite, "Of course, this is just a personal suggestion. However, the young master is a Boss who knows how to use people well, and I believe he will allocate resources reasonably."

Sister Hui was furious. This was essentially suggesting Auntie Li help manage the villa too, in other words, to divide her power!

She wasn’t even formally in the door of the Huo Family yet, and she was already planting her own confidants within the household.

Indeed!

This woman’s words were one thing, but her intentions were another; in reality, she was very keen to enter the door of the Huo Family!

Auntie Li, of course, understood the intent behind Jiayi’s actions – she was afraid that Sister Hui would mistreat and retaliate against her in the future.

During this period, Auntie Li was also aware that Jiayi was not close to the young master, even wanting to take Zaizai away from the Huo Family, to the extent of quitting her job in Yundu, returning her company car, and in every way possible, trying to refuse the favors of the Huo Family and keep her distance...

Speaking up for herself was also out of fear of being bullied by Sister Hui, hence she took the initiative to speak up.

Auntie Li felt a warmth in her heart and hurriedly said, "Miss Jiayi, it’s all right..."

Before she could finish, Jiayi had already secretly patted Auntie Li’s hand in reassurance and continued her steady gaze on the man upstairs, awaiting a reply.
