It just so happened that Gu Xingxi's current scene was still being filmed, so she could have a few days of buffering time to finish the things at hand.
Thinking like this, Xia Xingcheng also wanted to give herself a day off today, so she left early after get off work in the afternoon.
Xia Xingcheng went to the kindergarten to take Xiaobao home in person. On her way back, Xia Xingcheng suddenly received a call from Chen's mother.
Xia Xingcheng was surprised, but she didn't think about anything and answered the phone directly.
"What's wrong, Mother Chen? I picked up Xiaobao from school and I'm on my way back now."
Because of her recent pregnancy, Sheng Yeting has not allowed her to drive. At this time, only the driver is in front.
Mother Chen on the other side of the phone was silent for a moment, as if she was a little embarrassed. After a long time, she sighed and said: "Young madam, the old madam is here. She is at home now. She said she wanted to see you, but the young master is not here. I'm afraid that I She..."
After Chen Ma said this, she did not continue talking, but remained silent for a while on the phone.
There is no way, she is a servant after all. Although she is worried about the young lady, she also understands that she cannot say too much about many things, otherwise she will go overboard.
Xia Xingcheng already understood this in her heart, and couldn't help but paused and remained silent.
After a long time, she sighed softly and said with some helplessness: "I know, Mother Chen, I let you worry about it, but it is also my home now. I have to go back. I can't always rely on Ye Ting."
Seeing that Xia Xingcheng had already said this, Chen's mother was not sure what to say. She could only sigh and nod: "Young madam, you must be more open-minded and be normal. Madam, she has a sharp tongue and a soft heart. She doesn't have much Too malicious."
Mother Chen was persuading her, but out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly saw Qin Pei slowly walking towards her with a cup of coffee.
Mother Chen was startled and frightened. She couldn't help but hang up the phone in a hurry, with an unprecedented panic on her face.
Seeing her like this, Qin Pei understood immediately and couldn't help but snorted heavily.
Standing next to Chen Ma, Qin Pei looked down at Chen Ma in front of him, with the pride and contempt of a superior on his face, and asked casually: "Chen Ma, who are you going to call again?"
Mother Chen was startled, she couldn't help shrinking in her heart and quickly lowered her head and respectfully returned: "Old madam, I am calling my family."
As Chen Ma said this, she couldn't help comforting herself secretly, hoping that the old lady would stop pursuing this matter, otherwise she would inevitably be scolded again.
Qin Pei was unyielding, and immediately stood aside and snorted: "You know better than anyone whether you are really a member of the family or not. I just want to tell you that you have been in the Sheng family for so many years. Our Sheng family treats you well, but you also know my temper. If you are cheating like this, don't blame me for not cherishing our old relationship."
Chen Ma’s family has an 80-year-old mother who needs support, an unemployed husband and children studying abroad. All the burdens of the family are placed on her. If she is really taken care of by the Sheng family, After being fired, not to mention the loss of livelihood, I am afraid that I would be tired of being scolded by my husband.
Thinking this, Ma Chen couldn't help but turn pale with fright. She quickly lowered her head and said repeatedly: "Old madam, please don't do this. I will definitely not dare to do this next time. I will not dare to do it again. Please don't fire me."
As she said this, tears almost came to her eyes.
Qin Pei looked at her coldly, feeling somewhat soft-hearted. The reason why she just said this was because she wanted to teach Mother Chen a lesson, and she didn't really want to fire her.
Seeing that Chen Ma's attitude was still very good at this time, Qin Pei's expression softened a little, and she couldn't help but waved her hands coldly: "Okay, you just know what to do in the future, there is nothing wrong with you here now." Yes, go down."
When Ma Chen heard this, she couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief, then nodded quickly and walked away.
When I turned around, I saw Xia Xingcheng pulling Xiaobao over in a hurry.
Ma Chen opened her mouth and almost blurted out the words "young madam", but suddenly remembered that the old lady was still with her, and she immediately swallowed those words.
Seeing Ma Chen leave with such an unnatural look on her face, Xia Xingcheng immediately understood in her heart, and immediately gave Xiaobao a secret wink, signaling Xiaobao to go find Ma Chen and comfort Ma Chen.
Xiaobao is a smart little guy. Mommy already understood it at a glance. It just so happened that he didn't want to see Grandma Qin very much, so he left obediently.
Xia Xingcheng took a deep breath and immediately walked into the house.
Sure enough, Qin Pei was sitting on the sofa at this time, holding the remote control in his hand, pressing the channel on it, looking very condensed.
Seeing Xia Xingcheng walking in, she immediately threw the remote control aside angrily.
The remote control fell to the ground and made a dull sound. Although the sound was not very loud, it was still endlessly amplified in Xia Xingcheng's heart, and it was tantamount to a heavy blow.
Xia Xingcheng's face turned pale for a while, but he still managed to stay calm and walked in slowly.
"Aunt, you are here."
Xia Xingcheng said that because her body was too tired today, she was going to sit on the sofa aside.
This position is still a little far away from Qin Pei's position, so even if he is sitting here, it will not appear too abrupt.
But he didn't expect that when Qin Pei saw this, the boredom in his eyes was even worse, and he snorted: "It's really inappropriate. I, the elder, have just sat down, and you, the junior, don't even have this bit of etiquette." Do you understand?"
Xia Xingcheng's movement to sit down suddenly paused slightly, but for a moment she could neither sit nor stand, and her face suddenly became very unnatural.
She had no choice but to stand up in embarrassment, and explained softly: "Auntie, don't be angry. I just sat down because I was a little tired from work. I really don't mean to disrespect you."
Xia Xingcheng tried his best to be as groveling as possible, just to make it less difficult for Sheng Yeting to act in front of his mother.
How could Qin Pei understand this? Not only did she not feel sorry for Xia Xingcheng at all, but when she saw how Xia Xingcheng was trying to please him, she became even more suspicious of her bad intentions. She must have done it to be able to be Mrs. Sheng safely.
Nowadays, some women are really willing to do anything in order to marry into a rich family. She has seen too many people like Xia Xingcheng.
