Chapter 270 No Mercy
As soon as Xiao Yun said this, Butler Zhao's heart finally settled down.
It's a pity that it didn't fall down slowly, but fell down with a "bang" and was smashed to pieces.
"Master, you, you are going to fire me too?"
Butler Zhao said this with trembling voice, his face full of disbelief.
In fact, when Xiao Yun pointed out those people, Butler Zhao had a vague premonition in his heart.
Today he was indeed impulsive and could not control himself from frequently targeting Shen Lan. Butler Zhao knew that the young master might be dissatisfied with him, but at least he would not fire him.
He felt that he was a special person in Xiao Yun's heart.
But now, Xiao Yun clearly told him to leave, and Butler Zhao was filled with panic.
"Master, I was indeed impulsive today..."
"Uncle Zhao." Xiao Yun interrupted him softly, his eyes as deep as a cold pond. "It's not just today. You've clearly been out of shape these past few days. I think you're tired. The Xiao family has too many affairs and is too busy, and your physical condition can't keep up."
Shen Lan chewed her food much faster, her beautiful peach blossom eyes watching the fun through the lenses, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.
Obviously she was very satisfied with Xiao Yun's decision.
Housekeeper Zhao's dissatisfaction and targeting of her were already obvious. She thought Xiao Yun would turn a blind eye as before and didn't expect him to take any action at all.
I didn't expect there would be such a pleasant surprise.
Butler Zhao listened to Xiao Yun's words for a long time without saying a word. He looked at him quietly, his eyes red with tears in them.
He couldn't describe his feelings at the moment.
Unwilling to accept injustice, resentment, panic and disappointment...
All kinds of emotions intertwined, and finally turned into a trembling on the lips: "Master, I admit that I am irrational. I have opinions about Shen Lan and repeatedly target her, but I am sincerely thinking about you, Master..."
Looking at so many servants around, Butler Zhao couldn't bring himself to speak out about the relationship between Xiao Yun and Shen Lan. He could only say vaguely, "I've been in the Xiao family for decades, but I can't compare to the few days she spent there?"
Shen Lan is a cancer. Staying with the young master is like a time bomb. It might explode one day and bring endless troubles to the young master.
Although he was thinking about his daughter and used shameful means to drive Shen Lan away, it was ultimately for Xiao Yun.
The young master was bewitched by Shen Lan and wanted to drive him away.
Butler Zhao felt chilling and heartbroken.
"Zhao Zhi."
When Butler Zhao was chattering about their past relationship, the old lady spoke calmly while peeling an orange.
"Have you ever heard a word?"
Butler Zhao looked slightly stunned.
The old lady slowly raised her head, her brows and eyes sharp as she looked over: "You are taking advantage of your age."
Shen Lan almost spit out a mouthful of snacks and coughed so hard that it shook the earth.
The old lady is really tough and speaks without mercy.
Butler Zhao's expression instantly turned ugly, his face flushed, and veins bulged on his forehead. "Old Madam, what do you mean by that?"
"You should understand what I mean." The old lady handed the peeled orange to Shen Lan, wiped her hands and touched her head.
"With your brain, you should have realized from the beginning that Shen Lan couldn't have poisoned you. Unless you're old and confused. But why did you keep biting her to death like a mad dog?"
Butler Zhao avoided looking.
The old lady sneered. Zhao Yue had been by her side all day before, so she knew what he was thinking best.
She was also the one who could see clearly that Butler Zhao doted on his daughter without any bottom line.
As for Butler Zhao, he is smart, efficient, and loyal to the Xiao family and A'an, but he has to give in to Zhao Yue.
She did not ask Butler Zhao to put her daughter behind Xiao Yun's Xiao family, but she would not allow him to plot against A Yun for her daughter.
"It's because Ah-Yan is thinking of our old friendship that he's giving you some face. You'd better know your place and not use our old friendship to hold Ah-Yan hostage. He can't bring himself to do anything to you, but I, an old woman, will not show mercy for the sake of my grandson."
"While Ah-Yun still remembers our friendship, take advantage of it and leave. Don't make things awkward for everyone."
The old lady's voice was always slow and steady, but it was full of majesty and intimidation.
Butler Zhao's face turned pale and he looked at Xiao Yun.
When I noticed the clarity in his eyes, I realized that the young master had seen through me long ago.
Speaking of which, he was warned several times by the young master today, but the young master kept silent. He must have already decided to let him leave and was too lazy to waste his breath.
"Auntie Liu, you will temporarily take over Zhao Zhi's work."
Only then did Shen Lan notice the person standing behind the old lady. Aunt Liu had a very low presence and she had rarely noticed her before.
But when he walked from behind to the front of the person, his aura was revealed, and was no less than that of Butler Zhao.
The dismissed servants looked ashen.
At first, Shen Lan didn't understand. She thought she was just fired, and she could just go to another family. Later, she learned that the Xiao family was a bellwether in the circle, and servants fired by the Xiao family would basically not be hired by other families.
The Xiao family's welfare benefits are top-notch. The servants' salaries are comparable to those of senior white-collar workers in other companies, and there are many hidden benefits.
With the Xiao family as a comparison, there will probably be a big gap when looking for a job in the future.
By the time the Xiao family had restored order, news came from the hospital.
Wang Ling is out of danger and is in good health.
This was an extremely lucky coincidence.
