Jing Yi was in a bad mood at Li’s house for a few days.

Paid vacation and a monthly salary of 100,000 are enough for him to be arrogant for a long time.

So, Jing Yi, who had just come here, after finishing his job as a housekeeper, always found ways to go outside and spend a lot of money with his bulging wallet – he wanted milk tea with extra ingredients and milk cap, he wanted small cakes freshly baked, he would not take the bus, and he would not take a taxi without air conditioning.

This is the only extravagant means that the poor little guy can think of.

After a few days of leisurely living, the Li family hosted a lively banquet.

The second young master Li Xu’s birthday came late but it did.

On the day of the banquet, Jing Yi, the butler, got up early. The layout of the venue, arrangement of dishes, and distribution of invitations had all been taken care of by someone from the Li family. Jing Yi only needed to patrol like a foreman, and his job as a butler would be completed.

It’s so easy to make 80,000 yuan.

On the night of the banquet, the Li family was filled with guests.

Before bankruptcy, the Li family was a well-known and prestigious family in the world of this novel. In the author’s words, “Li Wenzhao took charge of the Li family consortium at the age of 18. In just ten years, he pushed the Li family to an unprecedented peak and established his own business empire.”

As for the novel about a domineering president, the beginning is an empire.

If you don’t have a prestigious title, you’d be embarrassed to go out.

At the birthday party of the second young master of the Li family, all the important figures in the world of novels came. There were many luxury cars, everyone was wearing jewels, and there was a dazzling array of evening gowns of various colors.

In the eyes of others, these people represent the greatest wealth in the world of novels, but in Jing Yi’s eyes, no matter how rich or powerful these people are, they are just NPCs, just cannon fodder created by the original author to destroy the Li family.

The banquet was about to begin, and Jing Yi found a corner to stay in, looking at the whole place, trying to find the villains who tried to murder the Li family. To avoid being bored, he also brought some melon seeds and chewed them with a crunching sound.

“Butler Jing.” Li Mingzhi searched for a long time and finally found Jing Yi. He took a small stool and sat down next to him. “You hid here. It took me so long to find you.”

Jing Yi asked while eating melon seeds: “What do you want from me?”

What else can I do? Eat melons, of course.

The silent and steady second brother could actually do something stupid, and as his younger brother, he was very interested.

“The party was too boring, so I came to you to help me out.” Li Mingzhi also grabbed a handful of melon seeds and said, “You’ve been running out these past few days, and I couldn’t find you. What did you do?”

After moving chairs, tables and melon seeds, Jing Yi felt a little hot. He pulled his collar and said casually, “It’s hot at home, let’s go out to avoid the heat.”

“…” Li Mingzhi glanced at the 20-degree constant temperature air conditioner above her head, “Is it still hot now?”

Jing Yi sighed when he heard this: “It’s not hot anymore. When the firewood is used up, it will naturally cool down.”

Li Mingzhi: “…”

“Young master, look! The banquet has begun.” Li Mingzhi wanted to say something, but Jing Yi patted his hands, looked into the distance and raised his chin through the chaotic crowd.

All the invited guests have arrived and are scattered around the banquet hall. Many of them are congratulating Li Xu.

After a brief greeting, Li Xu found Li Ting, who was chatting with his friends in a corner, and asked, “The guests are all here, where is housekeeper Jing?”

“Don’t worry, second brother.” Li Ting took a sip of red wine elegantly: “The man is in the corner over there, Ming Zhi is with him.”

Li Xu picked up the wine glass and took a sip. His eyes inadvertently swept across a hidden corner of the hall. Sure enough, he saw Jing Yi and Li Mingzhi huddled together and whispering.

“How can I not be anxious?” Li Xu loosened his tie and lowered his voice: “This is related to the survival of the company.”

He said in a heavy tone, “Haven’t you seen how busy Big Brother has been these past two days? I heard that hundreds of tons of counterfeit building materials were found in Nanfeng Port, and Director Zhang and Director Li were also arrested for embezzlement and bribery. Big Brother, who is so calm and steady, has made mistakes. My situation… must be more serious.”

Li Ting narrowed his eyes and gently turned the glass. The dark red liquid flowed in the high-quality glass, showing a sharp color.

“Don’t worry, as long as Butler Jing can find the person who hurt you, Second Brother, I will make him pay a thousand times the price.”

Li Xu drank the wine in his glass nervously and checked the time. “Please keep an eye on him for me. Your sister-in-law is here. I’ll go pick her up.”

A woman in a small silver dress stood at the gate. Her makeup was delicate and beautiful. The tube top design revealed her fair skin, and the sapphire on her collarbone was particularly dazzling.

“Ah Xu.” The woman called softly.

Li Xu, who was always cold and taciturn, showed a rare gentle look, “You are here.”

The woman nodded, looking around: “It’s so lively tonight.”

Li Xu chuckled and motioned for the woman to hold his arm, with a sweet expression: “Come on, I’ll take you to meet the eldest brother and the younger brother.”

The woman responded softly.

In the corner, Jing Yi happened to see this scene, and a flash of memory suddenly flashed through his mind, but before he could grasp it and think about it carefully, he was interrupted by the person who suddenly appeared in front of him.

“Li Mingzhi?”

Jing Yi raised his eyes and saw a colorful boy standing in front of him. His eye shadow was blue, his fingers were red, and his hair was yellow. Jing Yi was dazzled by the sight.

Where did the peacock come from?

“I heard that you were cheated by a man.” Hua Kongque chewed gum in a vulgar manner, looking up and down at Li Mingzhi, his long false eyelashes fluttering with his exaggerated movements.

“The other party is a habitual fraudster. Don’t you always say that you are smart? Why did you fall into the gutter? Tsk tsk, you can even go after that kind of person. Is it because that person has too many tricks to satisfy you?”

Li Mingzhi’s face darkened.

Hua Kongque sneered with disdain. The young master of the Li family was still so easy to bully. He didn’t fight back when he was beaten or scolded, and he didn’t dare to complain to his family. He would feel itchy all over if he was not bullied for a day.

He sneered and was about to increase the intensity of his taunting when his vision suddenly blurred and the next second, he felt a sharp pain above his eyelids.

“ah!”

The peacock screamed: “What are you doing?!”

“So they are really fake.” Jing Yi pinched the false eyelashes that were longer than his fingernails and shook them, his tone full of disdain: “They are so heavy, don’t you feel tired holding them? Fan our young master so he won’t catch a cold.”

Jingyi remembered.

In the original text, Li Mingzhi had an archenemy who loved to throw colorful things at him. He couldn’t remember the name, but he remembered that this peacock was one of the accomplices in the illegal organ trade.

When Li Mingzhi fell into trouble and was sold to the stock exchange by Ning Jiang, Hua Kongque beat, scolded and humiliated him every day, causing Li Mingzhi to attempt suicide several times. On his deathbed, he was sent to the operating table and his body was hollowed out.

【Son of a bitch!】

[You can sell organs when there are so many other things to sell, and you sell cheap things when there are so many other things to sell! Meeting me today is your karma! ]

Jingyi was really angry.

The writing is cold, and the ending where all the members of the Li family die is downplayed by the refreshing feeling of the protagonists getting slapped in the face and making a comeback. I didn’t think it was unreasonable when I was reading the novel, but now that I have witnessed it with my own eyes, Jing Yi feels uncomfortable all over.

“You fucking bastard…” Hua Kongque was so angry that he cursed. It didn’t hurt at all, but he was frightened by Jing Yi’s lightning-fast movements.

Jing Yi pursed his lips and was about to go up and give him another electric shock when he heard a voice in his ear.

“What’s going on?”

Li Wenzhao, with a grim look on his face, walked out from the crowd.

Jing Yi’s eyebrows jumped, and he quickly covered Li Mingzhi’s forehead, and turned the tables on him: “Why did you hit him? Is the young master okay?”

Flower Peacock: …Who hit whom?

Jing Yi held Li Mingzhi’s forehead, like holding a bunch of fragile glass flowers: “Ouch, it’s bleeding, Aunt Fang, please ask the family doctor for emergency treatment!”

Li Wenzhao’s cold gaze swept across indifferently.

Hua Kongque was so nervous that his back straightened up a lot: “It wasn’t me, I didn’t hit him, really, everyone was watching, I really didn’t hit him!”

“Hiss…” At this time, Li Mingzhi finally reacted from the chaos and fainted on Jing Yi’s shoulder: “Butler Jing, my head hurts.”

Jing Yi turned his head and said, “Look, what you did to our young master.”

The guests began to murmur.

Hua Kongque said: “I didn’t touch him at all. You said I hurt someone. Do you dare to let go of your hand and show your wound? If Li Mingzhi wasn’t hurt today, I’ll make you pay!”

Hua Kongque was so angry that he tore off Jing Yi’s arm.

“Alas……”

“Yo…”

“hiss……”

The guests gasped in unison.

Li Mingzhi’s forehead was covered in red and purple, with red liquid still flowing from the center. His head was really broken and bleeding.

“That’s really cruel.”

“You come to our door for this. You simply don’t take the Li family seriously.”

“This is really a resounding slap in the face to the Li family.”

“The Hua family has offended someone severely.”

Jing Yi looked at the crowd suspiciously. Does the peacock really believe in flowers?

The peacock’s face turned pale and he was so angry that he couldn’t speak.

Li Wenzhao was also stunned.

Jing Yi tried his best to play the role of a housekeeper. He supported the fainted Li Mingzhi and boldly approached Li Wenzhao: “Master, I don’t think this matter can be let go like this. What do you think?”

[Look at my eyes, look at my eyes! ]

[This man is a bad guy! He is the mastermind and accomplice of your brother’s sweetheart! Catch him! Arrest him! Take revenge on him!]

[It’s dark now, the bastard has come to bully us, it’s time to bankrupt the Hua family, young master! ! ! ]

Li Wenzhao lowered his eyes and stared at the anxious eyes of the butler. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly felt someone poking him in the lower back.

“…”

Prepared to speak, poked again.

“…”

In a corner where no one could see, Jing Yi’s fingers boldly poked the villain’s waist repeatedly, once, twice, three or four times, each time more powerful than the last.

Li Wenzhao felt his extreme urgency, because in addition to the drilling-like poking, there was also the sharp explosion of the butler in his ears——

[Ahhhhhhhh isn’t my look obvious? Why doesn’t he react at all? ]

【Don’t you feel that your clothes are too thick? 】

[Save my life, it’s another day when I miss Goldfinger! 】

Li Wenzhao: “…”

Did you give me a chance to speak?

“Brother, leave this to me.” Li Ting pushed through the crowd and approached, grabbing Hua Kongque’s shoulders and smiling: “I’ll have a good talk with him.”

Li Wenzhao grabbed the hand that was drilling behind him, “…Yes! Go ahead.”

Jing Yi froze. The warm and dry upper palm tightly wrapped around his thin wrist bone. The broad touch made his heart tighten, and he inexplicably felt a sense of powerlessness as if he was being controlled.

He didn’t dare move anymore.

Hua Kongque was taken away by Li Ting with a pale face, and the wonderful banquet continued.

Li Mingzhi pretended to be sick and was not suitable to stay at the scene. Jing Yi originally wanted to escape with the wounded, but was stopped by Li Wenzhao.

Jing Yi looked like a competent housekeeper: “Master, don’t stop me, I want to go and see if the young master is seriously injured.”

Li Wenzhao sneered, “Really? I thought Butler Jing was going to check the depth of the newly drilled well.”

How can such a thin and skinny wrist have such strength to poke someone?!

Jing Yi: “…”

He smiled sheepishly: “Sorry, Master, it’s an emergency.”

[I am doing this for the good of the Li family, do you have the nerve to punish me? ]

Li Wenzhao took a deep breath and said, “Don’t run around, just stay here.”

Jing Yi: “Why?”

Li Wenzhao rubbed his lower back: “Give it to me…”

“Rub it?” Jing Yi stretched out his hand.

Pop.

Li Wenzhao slapped away his pretentious claws and said, “Pour the wine.”

“…”

【Not saying it earlier】

[Just pour the wine, why are you rubbing your waist? The question is so off-topic that even a god can’t answer it.]

[But it still feels good, with a slim and smooth narrow waist. If you put it outside, you will be so charming…]

Li Wenzhao could no longer bear it: “Butler Jing!”

Jing Yi raised his face blankly: “Hmm?”

[What happened again? ]

[I didn’t cause any trouble, did I? Why is he so angry that he almost turned into a pufferfish? ]

Li Wenzhao gritted his teeth: “…Pour the wine.”

“oh.”

Jing Yi muttered to himself as he went to get the decanter. It was a bit heavy, so he raised it with both hands, placed it on the edge of Li Wenzhao’s cup, and pushed it with great effort. The wine rolled out from the bottom.

Li Wenzhao only felt his palm sink, and then there was a loud bang.

The cup was full, and quite a bit was overflowing.

“…”

Jing Yi was startled and subconsciously opened his mouth close to the cup, wanting to take a sip, when he suddenly felt a cold gaze brushing against his cheek.

Oops, got used to it.

Jing Yi came back to his senses and retracted his pretentious neck: “It shudder, it shudder, it shudder by itself.”

Li Wenzhao: “…”

The butler deserves a beating.

Just when the atmosphere was tense, Li Xu came over sweetly with a beautiful girl, “Brother, Butler Jing, what are you doing…”

His eyes fell on the full wine glass.

Li Xu chose his words carefully: “…thirsty?”

So thirsty?

“…” Li Wenzhao exhaled lightly and placed the wine glass in the hand of a passing servant. “Nothing, are you going to cut the cake?”

“Yeah.” Li Xu nodded.

The kitchen brings out a fresh and sweet double cake with gorgeous shape, a mixture of fruit and cream, creating the unique sweet fragrance of the cake.

Jing Yi swallowed.

[This is the boss’s cake, there must be something special about it, right? ]

[Good fragrance]

[How can I get a small piece of it…]

“Butler Jing.” Li Xu said, “Today is my birthday. You can have the cake with me.”

Jing Yi’s eyes suddenly lit up: “Thank you, Second Young Master!”

【Wow, wow, wow, the Second Young Master is such a good man! 】

Jing Yi was staring at the cake and drooling when Li Xu took the girl beside him and whispered, “Brother, this is my girlfriend, Qiu Minzhi, whom I mentioned to you. Let me introduce her to you today.”

“Minzhi, this is my elder brother…”

[What the hell???]

There was a loud bang in my ears.

Li Wenzhao and Li Xu were almost going deaf.

…What happened again?

【Qiu, Qiu Minzhi!!!】

Li Xu’s expression changed.

[I remember now. This person is the biggest stumbling block in Li Xu’s life and one of the causes of the Li family’s suffering.]

[Tsk, the second young master looks handsome, but unfortunately he is a fool. Qiu Minzhi doesn’t actually love him, she just wants his money. She has been colluding with the secretary in private, working together to secretly transfer his assets. I estimate that they are almost all gone by now…]

“…”

The second young master stumbled and almost fell into the cake which was more than one meter high.
