Oh no, if he met the original body’s father, wouldn’t he be exposed immediately? With a personality that was a million miles different from the original body, he would definitely be severely punished by the father as soon as he opened his mouth.

A good son left home, and before he knew it, he had changed into a different person. This is hard for anyone to accept.

Jing Yi hid behind the door of the second bedroom and didn’t dare to go out.

Li Wenzhao called out in his mind for a long time but no one came out, so he had to go and invite him in person. Jing Yuanming was stunned.

Li Wenzhao knocked on the door of the second bedroom. A crack appeared in the door. Jing Yi hid behind the door and asked him, “Do I have to go?”

Li Wenzhao: “He is here to see you.”

Jing Yi was silent for a few seconds, then slowly opened the door. Never mind, he would have to die sooner or later, so he just went for it.

But when he walked into the living room, his old father, who was still in good spirits, frowned and slammed the cane in his hand, “You…”

Jing Yi: “!!!”

Before he had time to lose his temper, Lao Jing looked at his son whom he hadn’t seen for many days, shuddered violently, but he quickly hid behind Li Wenzhao.

Jing Yuanming: “?”

Li Wenzhao laughed. It was rare to see the young butler so frightened. He patted Jing Yi’s shoulder and tried to calm Jing Yuanming. Only then could the old and the young sit down quietly… and then they looked at each other.

Lao Jing: “Don’t you have anything to say?”

Jing Yi blinked blankly: “What did you say?”

Lao Jing angrily tapped his cane and said, “Think about it yourself.”

Jing Yi: “…”

If he were his original self, he might be able to understand his old father’s tortuous train of thought, but Jing Yi, as a brand new soul, was completely confused, so he had to ask Li Wenzhao for help.

[Master, what is he talking about with me? ]

[I don’t know either. When Uncle Jing was the butler of the Li family, he was very kind. The old man is just throwing a tantrum. Only his family members should know what he wants to hear.]

But I’m not a family member, Jing Yi whispered.

Jing Yi sat on the sofa and stared at the original body’s father.

Finally, Old Jing couldn’t hold on any longer and said angrily, “Look at you. You act like a housekeeper and disappear. You never call home. If I didn’t know you were at the Li family, I would have thought you disappeared!”

The old man became more and more angry as he spoke, holding his cane tightly: “And this time, you fell into the water and fainted, and you didn’t even bother to call home to let us know you were safe?”

Jing Yi opened his mouth in silence, then slowly closed it, not knowing what to say for a moment.

“I’m talking to you.” Lao Jing waited for a few seconds, but got no response. He said dissatisfiedly, “Why are you silent?”

Jing Yi moved his lips: “Hum.”

Lao Jing: “…”

Jing Yuanming talked a lot, all of which were just asking Jing Yi to contact his family, work hard in the Li family, and not make any mistakes.

Jing Yi recalled the period of “doing nothing” at the Li family and felt deeply sorry for his old father’s teachings.

“…That’s enough.” Finally, Jing Yuanming was tired of scolding, and he was relieved to see that Jing Yi was fine. “I’m sorry, young master, for disturbing your rest. I’ll go back now. Jing Yi is young, so please bear with it if there is anything inconsiderate.”

Li Wenzhao smiled and sent him out the door, and arranged for Uncle Lin to send him away.

After closing the door, Li Wenzhao looked at the person slumped on the sofa and walked over: “Are you tired of chatting?”

“No.” Jing Yi closed his eyes weakly: “I’m tired of being scolded.”

After all, Old Jing was the steward who controlled the overall situation. He spoke very clearly, just like his homeroom teacher in school. Jing Yi had no intention of resisting at all and could only lower his head and take the scolding.

Li Wenzhao noticed his fatigue and sighed, “After you got into trouble, Uncle Jing tried to contact you many times. The old man missed his son, and I had no reason to stop him.”

Jing Yi hummed softly, and after a moment, he suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Li Wenzhao: “Do you… know?”

Li Wenzhao smiled, without any surprise on his face: “Know what?”

Jing Yi sat up, moved closer to Li Wenzhao, and whispered, “You know I’m not myself… that is, the me now is not the me before?”

Li Wenzhao nodded: “I know.”

Jing Yi’s eyes widened: “When did you know? How did you know?”

Li Wenzhao smiled faintly and said nothing. This matter hardly required him to pay too much attention or speculate. This young butler was almost full of bugs.

On his first day at work, he transformed from a calm and professional person into an overly lively horse, with his own voice amplifier, predicting the future of everyone in the Li family.

Because he was unaware that his inner thoughts had been revealed, he did not hide his feelings when he complained in his heart and leaked a lot of information. Li Wenzhao had already known that Jing Yi came from another world, and because of Wuchang’s negligence, he became a ghost and accidentally possessed the body of Butler Jing.

“I had my suspicions the first day Ning Jiang came to visit.” Li Wenzhao said, “But I didn’t think about it that way. I just felt that the new housekeeper was different from the previous one. The truth that followed was almost all deduced from your inner voice.”

Jing Yi looked at Li Wenzhao with his round eyes, not knowing what to say for a moment. He could only sigh that the villain was indeed very intelligent.

He squinted his eyes and approached Li Wenzhao, staring into his eyes: “Aren’t you afraid that I’m some evil ghost who wants to take your life?”

Li Wenzhao lowered his eyebrows and hugged him, “Not afraid, I always follow my heart, I accept you no matter what you are.”

Caught off guard, he was teased again. Jing Yi pursed his lips in embarrassment. Noticing that he and Li Wenzhao were too close to each other, he supported himself and tried to move back, but was hugged back by Li Wenzhao.

“Young Master.” Jing Yi keenly sensed the danger spreading in Li Wenzhao’s eyes, and hurriedly said, “It’s time to go to work.”

Li Wenzhao was unmoved: “It’s still early.”

Jing Yi slid up like a loach, not forgetting to plead: “Only a tyrant can indulge in lust in broad daylight, young master, we should behave ourselves in the morning.”

Li Wenzhao: “…”

He wanted to let Jing Yi go, but the stupid butler was uncoordinated and tripped. He rushed back with the speed of a cannonball and hit his face directly on his shoulder.

“Woo…!” Jing Yi threw himself into Li Wenzhao’s shoulder, with his cheek against his neck.

Li Wenzhao quickly stood up: “Where did you bump into again? Why are you so clumsy?”

Jing Yi was not hurt, and climbed up using his hands and feet. “It’s okay, my foot just slipped. Luckily your body is in good condition, otherwise I would have knocked you to pieces.”

Li Wenzhao: “…”

Jing Yi calmly and steadily took a few steps back and said shamelessly: “Keep it up, you will catch up with me one day.”

Li Wenzhao: “…”

If the butler is not punished for three days, he seems like he is really going to tear down the roof.

As the year draws to a close, the Li family begins to get busy. Li Wenzhao has meetings of all sizes all day long, and Secretary Fan often follows him around. Jingyi has no fun at work anymore.
