Chapter 207

When she faced him, she was truly pure of heart and devoid of desire.

Eight-thirty in the morning.

In front of the Junhao Hotel.

Jiang Ye walked over quickly.

There had been a traffic jam on the road, and the bus had been stuck too; looking at the time now, it was only a few minutes away from eight-thirty.

She was going to be late for work.

She did not like being late for work.

She usually arrived ten minutes early, so she jogged the rest of the way.

Just as she was about to enter the hotel, someone blocked her path.

Because she was in such a rush, she hadn't noticed that someone was standing to the side.

Being suddenly blocked, Jiang Ye was somewhat surprised.

"Excuse me, please let me pass."

As soon as she finished speaking, she realized the person blocking her was actually Chen Xiuyue, and her face immediately turned cold.

Every time she had run into Chen Xiuyue, it had been unpleasant.

She no longer had any expectations for Chen Xiuyue's character.

At this hour, Chen Xiuyue blocking her here was definitely not a coincidence.

"Ms. Chen, please move aside, I'm in a rush for work," Jiang Ye said with a cold face.

Chen Xiuyue looked at Jiang Ye, who had rushed to work wearing her cleaning uniform, her eyes filled with disdain, though she had managed to refrain from expressing it.

But her subconscious reaction had already been seen by Jiang Ye.

Jiang Ye knew that in Chen Xiuyue's eyes, people were divided into different classes, but Jiang Ye felt that she earned money through her own labor, didn't steal or rob, and hadn't spent a single cent of Chen Xiuyue's money; Chen Xiuyue putting on airs and looking down on her here was completely unnecessary.

"I have something I want to tell you," Chen Xiuyue said with a frown.

People were coming and going at the Junhao Hotel, and she might run into someone she knew; Chen Xiuyue thought that if she were caught talking to a cleaner, it would surely be embarrassing.

So she took out her sunglasses and a mask and put them on.

"Sorry, I don't have time; I have a lot of work to do. If you have something to say, you can find me during my lunch break," Jiang Ye refused without a second thought.

Chen Xiuyue's expression turned ugly, "How much money can you make at this job? I can give you a month's salary just to take up half an hour of your time, and I've already spoken to your manager just now."

If it weren't for the fact that Shu Xia was currently so resistant toward their whole family, she would never have come to find Jiang Ye.

Just by virtue of Jiang Ye not having a husband and doing the kind of work only people at the bottom of society did, there was no way to have an equal conversation with her.

Jiang Ye's face grew even colder, "You didn't even ask me, and you went ahead and asked for leave on my behalf?"

"I said I would compensate you for a month's salary; find your QR code, and I'll transfer it to you now," Chen Xiuyue didn't care much about such small details.

Jiang Ye was angered by Chen Xiuyue's shamelessness.

If she could be this blatantly shameless toward her, it went without saying how their family must be treating Xia Xia.

"Put away your high-and-mighty attitude. Who do you think you are? If it weren't for the connection with Xia Xia, I wouldn't even look at you," Jiang Ye said angrily.

Then she pushed Chen Xiuyue aside.

Jiang Ye had been doing manual labor for many years, so she pushed Chen Xiuyue away quite easily.

Chen Xiuyue was dressed exquisitely and wearing high heels; she nearly fell over from the push.

She barely managed to steady herself.

"Jiang Ye!"

She shrieked as if her throat had torn.

Jiang Ye gave her a cold look and walked straight inside.

Nothing good ever comes out of a dog's mouth; she had expected that Chen Xiuyue finding her would mean nothing good.

Last time, she had faked an illness to make Xia Xia return to the Lin Family.

Now, there was probably some other outrageous demand; there was no need to pay her any mind.

"Do you know what Xia Xia is doing now? She actually joined Gu Lao's team. You probably don't know what Gu Lao does; his team can restore antiques and is a top-tier team in Jing City. You absolutely can't get in without real talent! But Xia Xia actually got in. What did she rely on? It couldn't have been real talent, so she relied on her own body! I see the designer shoes you're wearing on your feet—they must have been bought by Xia Xia, right? You're wearing shoes bought with money she earned by selling herself!"

"Don't you feel like those shoes are burning your feet? Jiang Ye, don't pretend you don't know anything. Was it you who made Xia Xia do this? In order to live a wealthy, comfortable life, do you have any morals left in your eyes?"
