While I was still in a trance, Xiang Feng was approaching harsh voice,” What are you doing sneaking around my room?”
“There was a servant telling me to stay here and wait for my son. I have waited for a long time and no one comes. So I’m stepping out of the room now.” I answered calmly.
“No one is allowed to enter my room, even the cleaners needs my permission to get in. How dare you come in without my prior permission? What do you want?”
Xiang slapped me on my face all of a sudden.
Concerning this matter, I really couldn’t explain it clearly. But when the servant came and called me, Leon Hua was right by my side, so only he could prove my innocence However, the thing whether he was willing to help me or not remained doubtful.
“I did not mean to do anything. I was really tricked in here by one servant who led me here and asked me to wait for Alex. I didn’t know it’s your room and I really didn’t mean anything offensive. Leon can prove what I said.”
“I don’t want to listen to your nonsense. Which servant dared to do that? Guard, take her out and keep watching on this woman! I’ll find out what she did in my room! Before finding out the truth, do not let her leave!”
After Xiang’s shouting, several servants came here. One stood in the left, the other right, they were ready to catch me in case I would run away.
“Don’t touch me. I won’t run away.”
But the two servants didn’t listen to me. They caught me and pulled me out.
At this moment, there were guests coming in and seeing that I was being pulled out, so they turned to call other people to come here. Soon, over half of the guests who were attending the birthday banquet came here to see what was happening.
Leon came up with a livid face and he slapped each of the two servants, “let her go!”
The two servants didn’t know me, they knew Leon however. So they didn’t dare to say a word though they were slapped, and they just stood aside.
By now, Xiang also came out, “Leon, how do you manage your wife? The woman actually went to my room. Can you ask her for me whether she wants to steal or does something bad?”
Leon’s sharp eyes shot towards me,” What’s the matter?”
“Just now, there was a servant telling me that Alex wanted to see me and he led me to the room and told me to wait. I’m new here, so I didn’t know that was aunt’s room. Then I waited for more than ten minutes there. I got out after I felt something wrong. I did nothing. Leon, you were sitting next to me, and you also saw the servant come and call me, didn’t you?”
I looked at Leon nervously for if he didn’t testify for me, there’s nothing I can do to remove the stigma off my name.
“It’s true. There was a servant asking her to enter your room.”
What Leon said eased my heavy mind.
“Really? Is it a male servant or a maid?” asked Xiang.
“It is a male servant aged about 30.” I answered.
Xiang commanded, “Let all the male servants in the house come here and let her recognize which of them dares to bring a stranger into my room!”
Soon, all the male servants stood in front of me, but I couldn’t find that one . So I became panicked again.
” Nala, you have to point out which one took you in.” Xiang said harshly.
Of course, I couldn’t accuse someone falsely, so I had to answer honestly, “The one who let me in is not here.”
“You’re making nonsense. All the male servants in the house are here. So the servant is imagined by yourself?”
“No, there was a person who looks tall and thin, wearing the same clothes as them do.” I said.
” Nala, how you dare to lie to me. Guard, pat her down and find if she stole something in my room. She was born in poor, so she must idle about and want to make money by stealing because there are lots of valuable jewelries in my room.” Xiang shouted.
The two servants wanted to obey again, but they were fearful at the sharp stare of Leon.
“I didn’t steal anything. You can search me if you want, but if you find nothing, you must apologize to me. A pat down without any reason is an insult to my character!” I said harshly.
“Haha, who do you think you are? You want me to apologize? Such a funny thought.” Xiang laughed exaggeratedly.
“It’s not funny at all. I really didn’t steal anything. But I have no way to resist you, so if you don’t find anything, you must apologize to me!” I said firmly.
“Leon, look at you wife. How do you discipline her? She receives little education. How can such a person get in our family?” Xiang scolded him and wanted him to force me into submission.
“She is right. As my wife, she can’t be searched casually. You thought she went to steal something. In fact, I can buy anything give her no matter how expensive it is. Why does she lower herself to steal? Aunt Xiang, are you looking down on us?” Leon replied harshly.
I didn’t expect that Leon would support me like this. I’m very grateful to him from the deep of my heart.
Today, if he didn’t support me, I would be humiliated by Xiang and her servants.
And I found a crucial point that Leon called Xiang aunt instead of mom, which meant he was not her son.
“Leon, you really don’t take me seriously. You even help a stranger against me. I’m going to tell your father!” Xiang was walking out while saying this.
“Aunt Xiang, my father is accompanying Mayor Chen and his party. You’d better not bother them, or you’ll make him angry and have an unpleasant birthday.” Leon said harshly.
Xiang stopped as was expected, “Leon, are you going to spoil the woman all the time?”
“She’s not ‘ the woman’. She’s my wife.” Leon corrected.
“Right. How about if I find something disappeared in my room?” Xiang said.
“Everything disappeared can be listed, and I’ll pay for it as a gift I send to you.” Leon said.
The words were brilliant, which meant if you want to blackmail me, I wouldn’t even argue with you but just give you the money directly.
“Leon, you have grown up. Get out with the woman now!” Xiang didn’t get any benefit and was frustrated.
“Bring the kid to me and we’ll leave immediately. I didn’t want to come either, but father kept asking us to come, so we come here just for the sake of him.” Leon said harshly.
“Taking the boy and let them go out of here!” Xiang now could just let us go out to save her face.
Soon, the servant brought Alex here. Leon held him up and walked out. I followed him as well.
In the car, I thanked Leon.
“I just want to save my face, not to help you.” He said.
“I know, but I still need to thank you. You could let them pat me down actually. Anyway, I didn’t steal.”
“Stupid woman, there must be something in your bag. The one who framed you must consider that Xiang would pat you down. So if you were patted down, I would lose my face.” Leon scolded.
What he said made sense, I thought, so I put my hand into the bag at once.
