As Tang Tian passed by a group of wealthy young ladies, she was stopped by Fang Suyü.
“Come here for a moment.”
Tang Tian walked over. “Ladies, would you like something to drink?”
Fang Suyü had always been good at reading people. Although the maid before her had an irresistibly beautiful and fiery figure, and her appearance was stunningly beautiful, her dark, sparkling eyes were exceptionally clear, and her gaze was honest and upright.
This genuinely surprised Fang Suyü.
“Where is Brother Pei?”
Hearing that they were looking for Pei Jue again, Tang Tian smoothly pointed the way. “Mr. Pei is in the hall next door.”
Her tone was neither hurried nor slow, showing no sign of displeasure or wariness.
Wen Ai asked, “Then where is Fu Xi?” She teased, glancing at the young lady from the Zhong family sitting beside her.
The Zhong family young lady shyly shook her arm, carefully observing Tang Tian’s expression.
“Mr. Fu is in the billiard room.” Tang Tian had just taken someone to find Fu Xi earlier.
Wen Ai looked at Fang Suyü, who gently shook her head at her.
The young lady from the Zhong family asked, “What about Brother Li?”
Tang Tian replied, “He’s also in the hall next door.”
Fang Suyü asked her, “Then where is Brother Shaohan?”
Just as Tang Tian was about to answer, she saw Wen Shaohan striding toward them. Smiling at the group, she said, “Mr. Wen is right here.”
Fang Suyü and the other young ladies followed her gaze.
Wen Shaohan noticed and walked over.
One of the wealthy young ladies on the sofa, who secretly admired him, struggled to contain her excitement.
Wen Shaohan asked Tang Tian, “What’s going on?”
Tang Tian looked at the wealthy young ladies and smiled. “These ladies were looking for you.”
At this moment, Fang Suyü was still observing Tang Tian. It seemed this maid truly had no interest in Pei Jue or the others.
Wen Shaohan immediately noticed his cousin Wen Ai’s guilty expression and knew they were up to no good.
“You can go attend to your duties.”
Tang Tian quickly nodded. Before she could turn around, she heard the butler calling for her. She hurried off in a light jog to find him, not looking back at the group behind her.
Wen Shaohan withdrew his gaze and warned them coldly, “If you’re too idle, go find a job. Don’t cause trouble on my turf.”
Fang Suyü laughed guiltily. “Brother Shaohan, don’t be so harsh. We didn’t do anything to her.”
Wen Ai didn’t dare utter a word. She had been afraid of this eldest cousin since childhood—he was always so strict and intimidating.
“You can play however you like, but don’t interfere with others’ work.”
Wen Ai’s arm was nearly shaken off by the girl beside her who secretly admired Wen Shaohan. It was starting to hurt from all the shaking, so she had no choice but to speak up again and explain clearly to her cousin.
“Cousin, we won’t dare do it again. We just wanted to see if that beautiful maid had any ulterior motives toward you all.”
Wen Shaohan knew they were playing these little games. He disapproved of their actions but had noticed earlier that Tang Tian didn’t seem the least bit wronged. He also understood they had some sense of propriety and wouldn’t go too far.
Wen Shaohan shook his head helplessly. “There won’t be a next time.”
The wealthy young ladies took the opportunity to step down, all agreeing in unison.
After Wen Shaohan left, Fang Suyü looked puzzled as she told them, “That maid doesn’t seem to be acting.” Could it be she really has no interest in Pei Jue and the others?
Wen Ai shook her head. “Her personality is quite good. I actually like her.” It’s just that if you look at her for too long, you become so captivated by her beauty that you lose awareness of your surroundings.”You can’t like her. Just now… Shaohan scolded us because of her. She’s just a maid, isn’t it okay to ask a few questions?”
The one secretly in love with Wen Shaohan was the Li family’s young lady. She was very displeased that Wen Shaohan had reprimanded her for another woman, especially one who was a maid, which made her feel deeply humiliated.
Wen Ai sighed, “If my cousin hears what you just said, his impression of you will only worsen.”
The Li family’s young lady pouted, “But it’s true.”
Wen Ai advised her, “You should stop liking my cousin. Go like someone else instead. My cousin… the type he likes isn’t someone like you.”
“Then what kind does he like?”
Several other young ladies also leaned in curiously, eager for gossip.
Wen Ai thought for a moment, then shook her head, “My cousin has never been in a relationship before. I’ve never heard of him liking anyone.”
The Li family’s young lady felt reassured and became even more determined to win Wen Shaohan over.
But in the next second, Wen Ai poured cold water on her hopes.
“However, I do know what kind of girls my cousin doesn’t like—like your type.”
Wen Ai spoke sincerely, as the Wen family’s rule was never to look down upon anyone in a legitimate profession. Only with such principles could a family business thrive in the long run.
The Li family’s young lady’s mindset, however, directly contradicted the Wen family’s values.
The Li family’s young lady felt as if the sky were about to collapse. Tears welled up in her eyes, on the verge of falling.
Wen Ai was so startled that she quickly wiped away her tears, comforting her softly.
Fang Suyü felt relieved that Tang Tian wasn’t from a wealthy family. If she were a young lady from an affluent background, capable of toying with countless wealthy heirs, not only would men be drawn to her, but even her peers would find it hard to resist Tang Tian’s beauty.
Especially her sparkling eyes—when you looked into them, they brought a sense of peace and joy, for there was no desire or impurity in those beautiful eyes, only purity.
In the adjacent hall, as soon as Tang Tian left, the wealthy young man beside Pei Jue couldn’t stop staring at her. And it wasn’t just him—several other influential heirs were also discreetly observing Tang Tian.
“Pei, does that maid from earlier have a boyfriend?”
Shen Yanli paused for a moment while drinking, only to hear Pei Jue reply, “I don’t know. Go ask her yourself.”
Xiao Fu’s gaze followed Tang Tian’s retreating figure with interest. He had never known that such a rare beauty was hidden in this villa.
Pang Cong, the eldest son of the Pang family, heard Pei Jue’s almost unfeeling cold tone and laughed, teasing him for still being so aloof and detached.
“Pei, with such a stunning beauty around, you’re still this indifferent.”
Xiao Fu didn’t want anyone competing with him for that maid, especially not Pei Jue or Shen Yanli.
So he chimed in, “It’s not like you’re meeting him for the first time. Since childhood, we’ve never seen him get close to any woman.”
Pang Cong also couldn’t understand why Pei Jue showed no interest in the opposite sex.
Xiao Fu added, “The day he finally falls for someone will be truly remarkable. I wonder what kind of extraordinary person could capture Pei’s attention.”
Xiao Fu’s words sparked curiosity among all the wealthy young men present. What kind of woman could possibly win over Pei Jue?
