16 Shifted

"And this is the house, Ms. Chen." Mr. Fan had brought the girl and two gentlemen to the mansion the guys lived in. Chen Waan was so mesmerized by the building that her mouth was wide open for almost a minute.

The mansion was outside in a very posh area of Beijing. It seemed like there were more villas around but the property of each villa could very well be covering half a kilometer easily. Around the house, there was dense foliage. Chen Waan suspected there could very well be multiple lakes on the property.

The house itself looked like It had three floors. The car had stopped right in front of the door of the house. There were other expensive cars parked on the left side. She was not very knowledgeable about cars since it was a luxury for her that she could not afford. But still, she could see all the expensive brands and a few convertibles too.

The entrance door the house was like a tower from a princess fairy tale. On the right, attached to that grey cylindrical tower was a house whose front was completely made out of glass. If they turned the lights on inside, everything would be visible from outside.

There was a patio in front on the ground floor and there was a swimming pool on the side, complete with big umbrellas and lounge chairs. This was what was called living lavishly.

Mr. Fan giggled at her reaction but the other two guys clenched their fists. They still could not understand the motive of Director Wang. Moreover, if she was going to be a trainee, then should she not start with the small dorm rooms that every trainee went through?

This was too special a treatment. They looked at each other. She had not seduced some higher up in the company, right? There was no other explanation to this!

Chen Waan felt the malice coming from the two boys. She shuddered at the thought of having to spend her days with these two.

"Oh! Ms. Chen? Oh my! What a lovely lady!" an old lady in a maid's uniform came out of the mansion. She looked very kind, she held hands with Chen Waan and praised the girl kindly. The old lady reminded her of Li grandma back home, so she also smiled softly towards her.

Out of all the expressions till now, this was the kindest smile she had given to anyone. Wang Zibo now understood what she meant by confidence in her face. If she was not using her scary 'resting b*tch' face, then she was quite a beauty. Her smile was very mesmerizing.

The two guys looked at her in daze for a few seconds. Oh no! They could not be pulled in in her farce.

"Ah! I am sorry my lady. This old woman is called Zhou Yutong. You can call me Auntie Zhou. I serve young master Wang and young master Mo here as a maid. I have taken care of young master Wang since his childhood. I will also be serving you my lady," Mrs. Zhou pulled a stunned Chen Waan inside the house. Mr. Fan brought her luggage from behind. The two guys also entered their own house.

Mrs. Zhou was very excited to have another member in this big house. It was too big just for the two of them who only used two rooms. The third floor was used as guest floor for the staff of Mo Yifan, if they ever needed to stay.

"I will show you around my lady!" Mrs. Zhou chirped.

"Ah! Auntie Zhou! You are my elder, so can you please just call me Waan? 'My Lady' is a bit…," she scratched her face in embarrassment. This was the first time she was getting this treatment and it was really awkward.

"As you wish my lady. I was asked my Master Wang to treat you as a family member and listen to whatever you want. If that makes you comfortable, I will call you as Waan. It's a lovely name," the old lady accepted the proposition right away. Chen Waan took a breath of relief when she heard the maid.

Mo Yifan was irritated. Was this girl displaying an act right now? But he could not help but glance on her, who, seemed relaxed for the first time in the duration he had seen her. Her smile and soft eyes were really charismatic.

Grumble~, a sound was heard suddenly. Chen Waan clutched her stomach, hiding her face in embarrassment. Oh God! It had almost been a one full day since she had eaten. Why did it have to be in front of everyone?

Mr. Fan and Mrs. Zhou burst out in laughter.

"Ah! I am sorry Waan, I will fix you a meal right now. You guys should have told me she hasn't eaten anything. How cruel of you guys to starve the poor child!" she scolded all three people, then dragged the girl to the kitchen.

The three people, still standing at entrance, started feeling guilty. They indeed had not thought about her at all. She was a human, she needed to eat. But they had just barged into her place without giving her a chance to even freshen up properly.

"What would you like to eat my dear?" Mrs. Zhou asked her kindly. Chen Waan felt overwhelmed to have been treated good for the first time since she stepped here.

"Uhh… auntie, I am vegetarian, so could you please make me something with vegetables and tofu?" she asked, fidgeting a bit. She was not sure if it would be too much trouble for her.

"No problem! You go freshen up a bit, I will make you something in ten minutes. The bathroom is to the right, okay? The towels and everything are prepared already, so you do not need to bother," Mrs. Zhou pointed to the bathroom and promptly went back to work on the meal. She did not even ask any of the three for a glass of water.

"Isn't she being too discriminating?" Wang Zibo pointed to the maid and asked Mr. Fan. They had finally stepped into the living room.

Mr. Fan was thoroughly enjoying the show. He was looking forward to the dynamic of everyone from here on. "Ah! You should understand her position too. She has been serving two brats since forever. Now she finally gets to have another female in the house. Should she not be excited?" he winked to both of them.

"If she was really missing a female in the house, she could have hired another maid. It's not like she does not have any authority," Mo Yifan also expressed his anger, but he was kind of happy for Mrs. Zhou as well.

"Don't worry, don't worry, it will all be okay," Mr. Fan patted Mo Yifan's back but sniggered inside his head. Whatever Director Wang wanted, life was going to be interesting for him at least.
