The cursing stopped abruptly.

Old Jing’s expression changed and he glared at Jing Yi fiercely, “You stupid kid, why did you bring the big boss back home?”

“Boss Li…” Old Jing frowned, turned his face up, and said with a smile: “Please come in. Jing Yi didn’t tell me that you were coming. It was really rude of you.”

“I came here uninvited. Uncle Jing, you don’t have to be polite. Just treat me as a guest.” Li Wenzhao said.

Lao Jing smiled and said, “No, it’s my blessing that you can come to our house.”

Jing Yi followed Li Wenzhao into the room and looked around curiously at this small but cozy space.

There are several family photos hanging on the TV wall in the living room, and two fat goldfish are kept in the bathtub in the corner. The house has a good orientation, and a large wild lake can be seen outside one of the windows.

“Jingyi.” Old Jing suddenly spoke.

Jing Yi turned his head back to look at him: “Yeah.”

Lao Jing: “Go to the kitchen and make a pot of tea. Use the cupboard to put on the Da Hong Pao I just bought.”

Jing Yi subconsciously asked, “Where is the kitchen?”

Lao Jing: “?”

Li Wenzhao’s eyebrows jumped: [Left.]

Jing Yi stepped over and said, “Just a joke.”

Lao Jing: “…”

As Jing Yi walked, he asked Li Wenzhao in his heart: [This is your first time here, how do you know where the kitchen is? ]

【From the layout, it is not difficult to guess. 】

Jing Yi: “…”

Jing Yi turned left, found the kitchen, stepped in, and discovered a young boy standing inside. His heart immediately skipped a beat.

[Damn, there are hidden NPCs in the Jing family? ]

Li Wenzhao withdrew his gaze from the kitchen and said, “Uncle Jing, we have guests at home today. I am here at a bad time.”

“That’s Xiao Dong.” Lao Jing said, “He’s a community volunteer. He usually comes to our house to cook for us elderly people living alone. Today is a holiday, so I asked him not to come. He’s honest and insisted on cooking for me before going back.”

Li Wenzhao smiled and nodded, [Did you hear that?]

A voice came from the kitchen: [What? ]

Li Wenzhao: “…”

He repeated his words again.

Kitchen: [I heard it this time. ]

In the small room, Jing Yi and the young boy looked at each other.

“You are Uncle Jing’s son, right?” Xiao Dong said.

From the tone of voice, I knew I didn’t know him. Jing Yi nodded, “Hello.”

“Hello, hello.” Xiao Dong put down the spatula and said, “I’m a community worker, and I’m here to cook for Uncle Jing.”

Jing Yi: “I’ll make tea.”

Xiao Dong immediately said, “Da Hong Pao? I’ve already brewed it. It’s on the table. Just bring it out.”

Jing Yi: “Okay, thank you.”

The community where Lao Jing lives is really nice. Even the social worker is proficient in tea art.

Xiao Dong smiled and said, “Now that the food is ready and you guys are back, I’ll leave first.”

Lao Jing’s voice came from outside the door: “Xiao Dong, please stay and have dinner with us. I’ll introduce my son and Mr. Li to you.”

Xiao Dong took off his apron and walked out: “No need, Uncle Jing, I live nearby and will come to accompany you often in the future. Today is a holiday, you should reunite with your family.”

Lao Jing: “Good boy, you have worked so hard. This is the holiday gift I prepared for your parents. Take it back and say hello to your parents for me.”

Xiao Dong refused for a while before accepting it: “Thank you, Uncle Jing.”

Lao Jing touched his head and said, “Go slowly on the road.”

“Why.”

After the social worker left, Lao Jing accompanied Li Wenzhao to drink some tea. Just as Jing Yi thought, when Li Wenzhao was around, Lao Jing didn’t notice him at all.

“Boss Li, please eat some fruit.”

“Boss Li, have some tea.”

Jing Yi also came to add to the chaos: “Boss Li, do you want some melon seeds? I’ll give you some.”

Li Wenzhao: “…”

Old Jing blew his beard and glared: “What nonsense are you talking about?”

Jing Yi shrank back.

Li Wenzhao: [Not helping, but causing trouble? ]

Jing Yi blinked his eyes and said innocently: [No, I was just playing around. I’ve never seen you so well-behaved.]

It eats anything you give it, which makes you want to feed it.

Li Wenzhao: “…”Okay, okay, now the fun has come to him.

Jingyi: OvO

The room was very quiet. Lao Jing picked up the teacup, raised his eyebrows, and found that Li Wenzhao was flirting with his son.

Lao Jing: “?”

After a simple meal, Jing Yi thought he had passed this hurdle, but unexpectedly, Old Jing suddenly called him into the room.

“Go ahead.” Lao Jing sat on the edge of the bed with a stern face.

Jing Yi’s heart skipped a beat: “Say, what?”

Lao Jing’s eyes were blazing: “Don’t think I’m old, I can see clearly.”

Jingyi: Gulp.

It’s over, it’s over. No one knows a son better than his father. Has he been exposed after just one encounter? How should he beg for mercy and explain in order to gain the old man’s forgiveness?

Lao Jing: “Did you get into trouble at the Li family?”

Jing Yi: “?” Huh?

He was so shocked that Li Wenzhao, who was standing next to him, heard him: [What happened?]

Jing Yi: [It’s okay. Accidents happen everywhere.]

“Do you think you hid it well?” Old Jing frowned and said, “I noticed it when we were having dinner just now. Mr. Li was staring at you the whole time. Were you fired by the Li family?”

Jing Yi: “…”

His face flushed: “I didn’t.”

Old Jing snorted coldly, obviously not believing it. “I was wondering why Mr. Li suddenly came to my house. Is he worried that I can’t resign cleanly?”

Jing Yi: “…”

Is he some expired piece of candy?

Lao Jing: “Tell me in detail what happened in the Li family during this period.”

Jing Yi: “…” I dare not say that.

He gritted his teeth and explained, “Dad, I’m fine. My work is going well. The eldest master even gave me a raise and thinks highly of me.”

Lao Jing: “Then why did he suddenly come to our house?”

Jing Yi: “…”

How can he say this?

In order to conceal the fact that he was possessed by a ghost, he simply packed up the young master and took him home?

And when Li Wenzhao heard that he was going to meet the parents, he followed without saying a word?

Either of these two reasons is enough to scare Lao Jing to death.

Jing Yi thought for a moment and said, “Of course he came to see you.”

Lao Jing: “Not really.”

Jing Yi hurriedly said, “I’m your son. Don’t you know how much trouble I can cause? I’m very well behaved. I haven’t caused any trouble in the Li family. I’m a professional and rigorous housekeeper. If you don’t believe me, ask Mr. Li.”

Lao Jing: “…”

Hiss, I always feel something is weird, but I can’t tell what’s wrong.

Is he really old and starting to have blurry eyes?

Lao Jing didn’t get anything out of the question, but still had a doubt in his mind, and went out to entertain Li Wenzhao.

Jing Yi stayed at the Jing family for a day. Old Jing was very kind to him and asked about his well-being. He felt a lot of warmth in his heart and was no longer so cautious.

“Jingyi.” Old Jing said, “Stop playing with your phone. It’s more fun to play chess with Mr. Li.”

Jing Yi turned around and said stubbornly: “No.”

Lao Jing raised his eyebrows: “Isn’t this more fun than your video games? It doesn’t hurt your eyes and it improves your IQ.”

Jing Yi: “Then you and Mr. Li can play a few more rounds.”

“…” Old Jing glanced at Li Wenzhao and felt that Jing Yi’s lazy and lazy manners were particularly skillful: “You don’t like to talk back so much in the Li family, do you?”

Jing Yi was playing the game at a critical moment, and his mouth couldn’t help but say: “I only have this one mouth, what’s wrong with being nice to it?”

Lao Jing: “…”

Li Wenzhao: [Ahem.]

Jing Yi came back to his senses: “…” I’m used to being bullied by the Li family, and I’m going to suffer.

However, Lao Jing just tapped his cane hard, not feeling surprised: “Boss Li, did I introduce you to a hot potato?”

Li Wenzhao made a move with a clear expression: “It’s not that hot. I like him very much.”

Jing Yi blushed: “…”

Old Jing was relieved. “Jingyi has been naughty since he was young. He is in his twenties and still has not behaved properly. If there is anything that is not considerate in the future, please teach him more, Mr. Li.”

Jing Yi turned his face away in surprise.

No, the original Steward Jing was also a mischievous person like him, right? Then wouldn’t he be playing this role in his true colors, without any pressure?

In this case, he will have to tear off the mask of hypocrisy in the future.

After staying at Jing’s house until the afternoon, Jing Yi completely let down his guard and felt much more relaxed than when he first came.

After dinner, he followed Li Wenzhao back to Li’s house. When he left, he turned and looked at Lao Jing, “Dad, I will contact you more often in the future. Don’t think I’m annoying.”

Lao Jing snorted angrily: “I’ll be happy if you don’t make trouble for me.”

Jing Yi shouted, “Why are you still so two-faced? Didn’t you come to the young master’s private residence with real knives and guns to scold me last time? Have you forgotten so quickly?”

Lao Jing: “…Shut up, you filial son.”

Jing Yi: “…”

The filial son was kicked out by his old father.

After leaving the Jing family, Jing Yi completely let down his guard and even walked with a stagger.

“What are you happy about?” Li Wenzhao asked.

“Of course I’m happy.” Jing Yi said with a smile: “I originally thought I was playing the role of Butler Jing, but I didn’t expect that Butler Jing was playing me.”

Li Wenzhao: “You are quite proud.”

“That’s right, beautiful appearances are all the same, but interesting souls are rare.” Jing Yi pointed at himself and said, “I am an interesting soul.”

Indeed. Li Wenzhao did not refute this point. After all, what the young housekeeper said was true. Since Jingyi came to the house, there were more laughter and joy, and the miserable fate was gone. Even he himself was much calmer.

If there were indicators for being in a good mood, Jingyi would have already achieved his full-year KPI^[1]Key Performance Indicators.

€€

When Jing Yi returned to Li’s house in the evening, he was a little tired after a whole day of socializing, so he ran back to his room and lay down.

On the door, he found a small gift bag.

[Jingyi~ This is my New Year’s Eve gift for you, you must accept it. Wear it at night and it will definitely blind everyone’s eyes! I wanted to give it to you in person, but I have an event tonight, so I won’t be able to put it on you in person.]

Wow.

The young master was so thoughtful and even prepared a gift for him.

Jingyi opened the gift box and found a very dazzling diamond necklace inside, sparkling brightly.

This is more than just dazzling, it’s almost blinding.

There was a thumb-sized pendant on the necklace. Jing Yi couldn’t tell what it was made of. He held it in front of his eyes and fiddled with it, then ran to the mirror and tried it on.

It does look nice, but he has no suitable clothes to wear it with, and no suitable occasion to wear such a gem.

Most importantly, it’s too expensive!

How can he live well with the young master giving him such an expensive gift?

Jing Yi was about to pick up the phone when he was startled by the ringing of the phone. The call was from an unfamiliar number, so Jing Yi hung up without thinking.

After a while, the other party sent a message.

[Friend Jing, I am Liang Jing, happy New Year’s Day. Are you interested in coming to my manor for a gathering with fellow travelers?]

Jing Yi’s eyes lit up, and he ran to the second floor and knocked on Li Wenzhao’s door excitedly, “Master, the richest man invited us to his manor.”

[Master, open the door, open the door, I know you are in there. ]

Li Wenzhao had just finished taking a shower, his hair and skin were still wet, and his white bathrobe was slightly open. The butler called him in a double-track voice at the door, thinking something important had happened, so he was busy opening the door and didn’t have time to fasten his clothes.

Li Wenzhao didn’t expect Liang Jing to invite them. It seemed that the words they said last time were not just politeness.

The relationships formed by the butler’s social life are quite solid.

Li Wenzhao glanced at Jingyi’s phone screen and stared at him: “What is ‘road friend’?”

Jing Yi showed an expression that said “you don’t understand this” and explained: “I found him on the street from a friend.”

Li Wenzhao: “…”

Why are there so many people in this world who share the same vibe as the little butler?

“You want to go so badly?”

Jing Yi held the phone and hummed: “Go and give Shen Shubai some eye drops, what a great opportunity.”

Li Wenzhao asked, “Didn’t the tire burst?”

“How can that be enough?” Jing Yi said, “You have to uproot the grass, otherwise it will grow again in the spring breeze, and… he schemed against me last time, and I haven’t taken enough revenge yet.”

“Revenge is a matter of time from morning till night.”

Li Wenzhao: “…”

The young housekeeper has a lot of crooked ideas.

“You can go.” Li Wenzhao said, “Don’t give me any more Ultraman personas.”

Jing Yi blinked in disappointment: “Okay.”

[With so many rules and regulations, you have destroyed a lot of my gentleness]

The person in front of him stood up a little straighter and looked at him with his eyes downcast: “You came to me just to talk about this?”

Jing Yi nodded: [Yeah.]

Li Wenzhao sighed: “For this kind of thing, there’s no need to rush outside and scratch the door.”

Jing Yi was stunned.

He then began to look at Li Wenzhao carefully. The man was dressed in messy clothes, his hair was wet, and his body was covered with the moist scent of bathing. It was obvious that he had just finished a shower.

Jing Yi has been living too comfortably lately and has become much bolder. He can no longer suppress the urge to do something naughty.

“You’re not naked, why are you so shy?”

【This isn’t the first time I’ve watched this. 】

[You are hiding this from me, are you still treating me as an outsider? ]

Li Wenzhao: “…”

He was silent for two seconds and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Jing Yi keenly sensed the danger and turned and ran.

But before he could take two steps, a large shadow fell in front of his eyes.

He was blocked by Li Wenzhao, with his back pressed against the wall. Li Wenzhao leaned down slightly, holding the door frame with his thin arms, his deep eyebrows close at hand, his breath unstable.

Jing Yi: “…”

Li Wenzhao’s eyes were filled with a heavy look like mist. He lowered his head slightly and said, “You…”

“Bang!”

Jing Yi was in a panic and slapped the wall next to him. The bright light in front of him suddenly went out, leaving only a vague human outline.

Li Wenzhao: “…”

Jing Yi: “…”

Well, after turning off the lights, the atmosphere seems to be more ambiguous.

He was about to explain his mistake when he suddenly noticed a strange light in his eyes.

What’s lit up?

He and Li Wenzhao lowered their eyes in unison.

Suddenly, a circle of green fluorescent beads lit up around Jing Yi’s neck. The beads were translucent and sparkled like night pearls. With such a circle around his neck, the butler’s face looked green.

Li Wenzhao: “…”

Jing Yi: “…”

It turns out that the word “dazzling” that the young master described is not an adjective.
