It was approaching dinner time. Chef Li had finished cooking, but Su Yunjin had gone out on business.
Some had gone abroad, some were at work, and some were filming. Only ten - year - old Gu Xuan was left.
Gu Xuan glanced at the dishes on the table. Although they were healthy and delicious, he had grown tired of eating them every day.
He had no interest at all and ran to his room to play games.
"I wonder if Young Master Gu will come back for dinner today," Wang Xia murmured, looking at the five dishes on the table.
In situations like this, if no one from the Gu family ate, the staff usually divided the food among themselves.
The Gu family always had fresh food for every meal.
"Young Master Gu said he has business entertainment today and won't be back for dinner," Jiang Mo said, looking at Gu Xun's reply on WeChat.
As soon as Wang Xia started to murmur, she had sent a message to Gu Xun.
Wang Xia waved her hand grandly. "We'll all have an extra treat tonight."
All the staff at the Gu residence ate happily. Jiang Mo let out a burp and rubbed her full belly.
Chef Li's cooking skills were really good.
It seemed that she had made the right choice to learn cooking from him.
She was calculating in her mind how much her salary would increase if she could master these cooking skills.
After Jiang Mo finished cleaning the kitchen and came out, she saw Gu Xuan huddled on the sofa, playing games and secretly looking towards the door from time to time.
Two minutes later, Jiang Mo knew what he was looking at.
A security guard in uniform brought over takeout - McDonald's, milk tea, and fried skewers.
"Sister Xiaomo, please don't tell my mom. If she knows, she'll tell my mother. I'll only eat it this once," Gu Xuan pleaded.
Jiang Mo was quite familiar with Gu Xuan. He had stayed at her place for a while last year.
"You have proper meals but you order junk takeout," Jiang Mo imitated the tone of an adult.
"Take it back to your room secretly and don't let my mom see it."
"Hehe, I promise I won't let her find out," Gu Xuan ran upstairs happily.
"Just now the security guard came. Did you order takeout again?" Wang Xia came out of the storage room next to them.
"No, you saw wrong."
"Come up with me and learn how to organize the rooms."
The Gu residence had three floors in total. The first floor had a living room, a dining room, a storage room, and a maid's room.
The second floor had five rooms and a study. The three Gu brothers all lived on the second floor. Gu Xun lived in the east, and the study was right next to his room.
Gu Ye and Gu Xuan lived in the two rooms in the west.
The third floor was the territory of Su Yunjin and Gu Feng.
"You don't need to come to the third floor usually. You'll mainly be responsible for the second floor and take care of the three young masters' daily lives," Wang Xia introduced and instructed at the same time.
"The three young masters are easy to get along with and don't make things difficult for others. However, we're in the service industry, so we may be wronged sometimes. If you're wronged, tell mom."
"I know. It's hard to make money, just like it's hard to eat shit," Jiang Mo said.
Wang Xia was taken aback. Although the words were crude, it was the truth.
Jiang Mo walked around the second floor a few times to get familiar with the layout of the rooms and the way to organize and place some items.
Wang Xia was organizing and storing clothes, and Jiang Mo was learning by her side.
"Mom, I went to the company today and saw Young Master Gu. I have to say, he's really handsome," Jiang Mo hung the ironed clothes in the cloakroom.
Wang Xia nodded. "That's for sure. Young Master Gu has been good - looking since he was a child. He's been handsome all the way. When he was at school, you can't imagine how many girls liked him."
"Does Young Master Gu have a girlfriend?"
"I haven't heard of it, and I haven't seen him bring any girls back."
"Has Madam arranged any high - society blind dates for him?"
"There used to be some, but they didn't work out," Wang Xia said, then turned off the iron and squinted at Jiang Mo.
Jiang Mo turned around and saw Wang Xia staring at her. She hugged her arms and said, "Your look is so scary. Why are you staring at me?"
Wang Xia said earnestly, "Xiaomo, you'd better watch less Korean dramas. There's still a gap between our family and the Gu family."
"Is it just a little gap? It's like the Mariana Trench between us."
"Mom, what on earth are you trying to say?"
"Don't tell me you fell for Young Master Gu after seeing him today?" Wang Xia gathered her courage and blurted it out.
Jiang Mo was stunned. After reacting, she gave a thumbs - up. "Mom, even the screenwriters of short dramas aren't as good as you at making associations. You're really something."
"Have a crush on Young Master Gu! Am I crazy!"
"He's the boss. These days, having a crush on the boss is already good. It's a miracle I don't assassinate him."
Just as Gu Xun reached the second floor and walked to his room, he heard Jiang Mo's "crazy words".
He pulled his tie to make himself more comfortable, took off his gold - rimmed glasses, and sat down in the living room on the second floor.
The door was wide open, and the two people inside didn't notice that someone had come upstairs.
Wang Xia was relieved. "Mom is just reminding you. I'm afraid you'll go astray."
After all, there were many such examples.
"Don't worry! I won't!" Jiang Mo then started to talk about the news she had heard. "Moreover, I heard that Young Master Gu has a girlfriend, and she's a celebrity."
"Really?" Wang Xia said. "At his age, it's time for him to have a relationship."
"Also, Young Master Gu isn't good in that aspect."
"In which aspect?"
"You know, that aspect! In terms of having children," Jiang Mo raised her voice.
Gu Xun in the living room put his hand on his forehead. He couldn't listen anymore and interrupted their conversation.
"Mom Wang!"
Wang Xia recognized the voice immediately. It was Gu Xun's. She quickly said, "Oh, Young Master Gu, you're back."
She pointed at Jiang Mo, clearly meaning, Look at you. Gossiping about someone behind their back without knowing if they've heard it.
Jiang Mo stuck out her tongue. She didn't expect Gu Xun to come back at this time. She hoped he hadn't heard, and quickly followed him out.
"Pour me a glass of warm water," Gu Xun ordered.
Jiang Mo quickly ran downstairs, filled a glass of water, and carried it upstairs.
Gu Xun went into the cloakroom, changed into a set of loose clothes, came out, picked up the water glass, and gulped it down.
"Okay, you can leave now," Gu Xun put down the water glass.
"Okay, then I'll go downstairs first," Jiang Mo thought that since the other person looked normal, he probably hadn't heard what she said.
After going downstairs, Jiang Mo entered Wang Xia's maid's room and decided not to go home tonight.
From now on, when she didn't want to go home, she could squeeze in with her mom.
This would save her the time of commuting and allow her to sleep a little longer.
She was lying there with a facial mask on, watching food videos.
Li Wan'er @ - mentioned her in the group. "My only connection in the high - society, come out and chat."
Jiang Mo replied, "I'm busy improving my skills."
Li Wan'er asked, "What skills are you improving?"
Jiang Mo explained, and Li Wan'er suddenly understood and gave a thumbs - up. "Sister, with your determination, you'll succeed in whatever you do."
"How's your job - hunting going?" Jiang Mo asked with concern.
Li Wan'er shook her head and sighed. "I haven't found a suitable job. To make a living, I'm going to take a part - time job."
Jiang Mo said with a smile, "There are many high - society families in this villa area. Wait until I get settled here and build good relationships. I'll find out which families are still looking for maids and see if I can get you a job."
Li Wan'er: "!! Sister, you're my only connection in the wealthy circle. I'm counting on you!"
Zhang Qingqing also popped up: "Sister! Sister! Look at me. I'm your long - lost younger sister!"
...
In the villa area, it was just dawn, and the nannies of each family began to get busy.
After the owners of each family went out to work, go to school, or socialize, they could also take a break in the midst of their busy work.
Breakfast was relatively simple. Yawning, Jiang Mo followed Chef Li to prepare the morning meal.
Gu Xun went out after breakfast. Looking at the time he left, it was only eight o'clock. Did the boss also have to clock in for work at nine?
After Jiang Mo finished the tasks assigned by Wang Xia, she put on a sun hat and strolled out of the door.
