Quick Transmigration: The Villainous Female Supporting Character Became the Male Lead's Beloved

Chapter 171 My Dead Husband Came Back to Cling To Me 22

That evening, she saw the boy, who was the butler's grandson.

With fair skin and a haughty expression, he looked like a high school student. He stood at the door, casually glancing at Ni Qing as she entered.

Meeting her gaze, he smiled and said, "Hello, I presume my grandfather has already spoken with you. From today onwards, I will be responsible for your personal care."

Very good, he seems much more polite than he appears. Ni Qing finally felt relieved; when she first entered the gate, she had thought this was a troublemaker someone had brought along.

"What's your name?" She always liked pretty people, so even her usually condescending tone softened.

The boy had bright, curved eyebrows and looked very clean: "You can just call me A-Yue."

He was very handsome, and his voice was lovely, but something about what he said just didn't feel right. She paused, looking at him with some suspicion: "Which date?"

He smiled slightly, displaying a maturity and composure beyond his years: "The 'saying' of Confucius."

That's good. Ni Qing finally felt relieved and slowly said, "It's like this, considering that you're not too old, you don't need to come here every day. I don't like crowds. Of course, your salary will still be paid as usual."

What a kind-hearted capitalist she is.

Ah Yue wasn't as happy as he'd expected. He frowned, his voice slightly low, "Does Madam think I'm too young? Do you prefer women older than yourself?"

Seeing that she had been misunderstood, Ni Qing subconsciously explained, "That's not how it is. It has little to do with age. Your grandfather was like that before, really."

She thought that someone as playful as A-Yue would be immature and not so keen on going to work.

Unexpectedly, this touched a nerve with him.

When Ah Yue heard her say that, her tightly furrowed brows finally relaxed, and she smiled again: "Okay, then thank you, Madam."

Ni Qing nodded, went inside and changed her shoes in the entryway. She glanced behind her and saw that the boy was still standing there silently. She felt a little conflicted.

Was she not clear enough?

Ah Yue tilted her head innocently, finally revealing a bewildered look befitting her age: "What's wrong, Madam? I've prepared a meal for you, would you like some?"

Her mansion is truly enormous, with three floors and a small attic. The interior design is Western-style, somewhat like an enlarged version of a Western-style house.

Two to three hourly cleaners come to clean the house every day, and the housekeeper's job is to supervise and manage their hourly wages.

Cooking was really not something he should be doing, so Ni Qing said tactfully, "I'm sorry, I've already eaten. I don't usually need to cook; I eat out before coming back."

The boy fell into despair again.

Ni Qing: "..." What a troublesome character.

Chatting in the entryway wasn't a good idea, so she reluctantly decided to try his cooking. Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, A-Yue's eyes lit up like a puppy's.

Undisguised joy was evident on his face.

He's the younger, more adorable type. If it were based on her persona, she'd probably have him all to herself without a second thought, without needing any male models.

But this is the housekeeper's grandson, and she cannot intervene for either reason or emotion.

Ah Yue did have some cooking skills; he prepared simple home-style dishes with light porridge. Ni Qing, who hadn't had much of an appetite before, suddenly felt quite hungry.

Without saying a word, she sat down and ate. The temperature of the food seemed to have been precisely calculated, neither too hot nor too cold, making it just right to eat.

Halfway through the meal, Ah Yue suddenly pointed to the photo album on the coffee table next to her: "Is that person in the photo your husband?"

Ni Qing paused, her hand holding the chopsticks still, and looked over suspiciously. The photo frame, which she had smashed to pieces, was now perfectly intact, placed in its original spot as before.

Looking at him, she felt a familiar sense of being watched again, and even her appetite dwindled. She said listlessly, "Why bring up that dead man? Isn't it bad luck? I'm not eating anymore. You don't need to clean up, go home early. Someone will clean up tomorrow."

He portrayed the character's harshness and arrogance perfectly.

When she wasn't looking, the boy's eyes turned deep and dark, and if Ni Qing looked up even slightly, she would see that his face was expressionless.

After not hearing a reply for a while, she looked up with slight impatience: "What's wrong? Didn't you hear what I said?"

Most people would have given up by now, but he was different. He did the opposite and said with a smile, "Has the gentleman passed away? It seems that the relationship between the wife and him was not very good."

Ni Qing frowned: "This is not a problem for you to think about."

Ah Yue stood there with ease, her slender figure like a green bamboo: "Alright, I was the one who offended you."

He knew when to stop and wisely shut his mouth.

Ni Qing realized her tone had been a bit too harsh, and after a moment, she leisurely changed the subject: "You're still a student, right? Don't you have classes? How did you agree to let your grandfather come and help out for a few days?"

Ah Yue readily changed the subject: "Actually, I'm already in my internship period. I'm currently working as an intern assistant at the head office in your family's company."

Seeing that Ni Qing was stunned, and fearing that she might overthink it, he continued, "Don't worry, madam, I didn't get into the company because of my grandfather. I got in by submitting my resume myself."

The other person then responded with an "Oh," and said, "I didn't see you at the company last time."

Ah Yue stared at her intently: "Perhaps you rarely come to the company? Have you looked at the recent documents? I think there's something wrong with them, which is why I'm here."

His actions perfectly embody the passion of graduates.

Ni Qing looked at him encouragingly: "What's the problem? I'll be going there again in the next few days."

Ah Yue looked slightly troubled and said hesitantly, "It seems that the recently signed documents have been tampered with. Every time a contract is signed, there is no signature. I told the president and the others, but they told me to be careful with my words."

“Every time we sign a contract, it ends up being breached for no apparent reason. We’ve been losing money lately, not making a profit. I’m here to ask if your wife knows about this?”

Although Ni Qing's persona is that of a pretty but brainless person, she immediately becomes alert when it comes to financial matters. She remained calm on the surface and said, "Really? I'll check it out tomorrow. Thank you, A-Yue."

The young man shook his head: "No need to be polite. It's so late, I hope Mrs. Zhu can get some rest. I'll head back now."

Ni Qing was delighted, but said reservedly, "Okay, you can go back now."

As the words left his lips, he remained in a posture as if about to leave: "Madam, could you call me Ayo again? I think it sounds rather nice."

Ni Qing felt something was off, but she went along with it anyway: "A-Yue?"

The boy was now satisfied. His expression, which was turned away from Ni Qing, became strange and unpredictable, and his originally sunny smile turned sinister and terrifying.

Ah Yue, Ah Yue.
