While Daisy is having a very difficult time dealing with Yu Jing, Jennie was having the exact opposite. She was languidly sitting down in the velvet couch as she ate the mixtures of fruits on the table. She eyed the outdoor pool in front of her.
"It is getting hotter and hotter." She uttered and looked at the people standing to her left. She smiled. "So... Chef Yang... right? I don't know if you remember me..."
"I do." Chef Yang Lichen interrupted Jennie. His wizened face lightened as he continued, "I remember you like to play with stones."
Jennie giggled. Chef Yang is someone that worked in the orphanage since Lisa was a child. She had met the man when she was a child, as she used to ask him for snacks.
"That's good." She nodded and eyed the two younger males who looked exactly the same next to Chef Yang. "And you two should be... Lin Luyang and Lin Siyang? Twins?"
"Yes, Madam. I am Siyang." While the two of them have fair and almost the same facial features, Siyang is obviously a little leaner than his brother. "And this is Luyang." He pointed at his brother standing next to him. "He is a bit shy and is very silent."
"I understand." Because of her schedule, this should be the first time that Jennie met everyone that Lisa hired for the house. "And you are Hou Qingya?" she eyed the younger woman. "How old are you?"
"I am nineteen." Hou Qingya answered, her head lowered as she avoided Jennie's gaze.
"Alright then... I hope we can all work together." She smiled and gestured for them to leave her. "Chef Yang... please stay." She uttered in a low voice.
"Does Madam want anything?" the old man had his hair dyed ash blond. His phoenix eyes stared back at Jennie. "A specific type of food?"
"No. But... I would ask you to supervise everything in the house." Jennie said. She is not good when it comes to house matters and she is very aware of this. She does not want to stress herself in something that she is not good at. Moreover, this is not a gigantic house a single man like him could easily handle it. "I believe Lisa already informed you about this?"
"Yes," The older man nodded. Lisa indeed told him that Jennie might not want to manage the house as her priorities are different compared to some newly married women.
"Then good." Jennie nodded. Hearing this, the older man bowed and left. "Do you have something for me?" Jennie said, almost lazily as she eyed Irene who just arrived. "Did you have breakfast, already?" she asked.
"Yes, President." Irene nodded. "Miss Daisy is with Yu Jing last night. But... I have heard the news. Yu Jing is going to clear his name, eventually."
"Only his?" she asked.
"Hmmm. So... I believe your initial plan will happen soon. Daisy won't have a choice but to talk to you."
"Good." She said as she threw another grape into her mouth. "Then let's wait for her to come." Daisy is a very selfish person who would not hesitate to sell her soul to the devil just to achieve what she wanted. In Jennie's mind, it would not take too long for Daisy to realize that she is on the verge of being destroyed.
If her guess was right, then Daisy would soon come to seek for Jennie's help. Daisy would then tell her about the person who asked her to provoke Jennie in an attempt to save herself.
Just as Jennie expected, Daisy showed up in the mansion after a couple of hours. She was wearing big dark sunglasses that covered most of her face and a scarf on her lower face and neck.
"Thank you for agreeing to see me," Daisy said weakly. All these things made her feel really exhausted. She did not dare remove the sunglasses on her face as she looked at Jennie. "I know you are probably expecting this." She watched as Jennie sat opposite to her.
