Chapter 116: Agreement
<Previous Chapter<Table of Contents>Next Chapter>
An Bu took Madam Dong for a walk in the courtyard, and the group of people did not come to harass them. After all, they had their own status to maintain, it wouldn’t look good if they caused a scene. They left with some sarcastic remarks.
Madam Dong croaked, “When you go back today, let Little Liu drive you. Don’t get kidnapped on the way.”
An Bu casually laughed it off, “Haha, are they thugs?”
Seeing that An Bu didn’t take it seriously, Madam Dong couldn’t help but remind her to be careful and not act rashly.
An Bu patiently listened, not minding her nagging. She even went to the kitchen midway to prepare some food, and they chatted while eating, gradually forgetting the unpleasantness from earlier. An Bu even styled Madam Dong’s hair in a trendy way, which earned her some complaints but also a rare smile on her face.
After lunch, An Bu waited until Madam Dong fell asleep, then packed up and prepared to go home. Passing by the front yard, she saw Little Liu washing the car. An idea crossed her mind, so she called out, “Little Liu, could you please drive me home?”
Little Liu glanced at her sideways and lightly uttered two words, “No time.”
“This is Madam Dong’s instruction.”
“Don’t joke around.” Little Liu sneered, “Madam is now unable to recognize even her own daughter, how could she arrange a car for you?”
An Bu sighed, “Forget it, I was just trying to take a shortcut.”
With that, she turned and left the Dong family mansion.
“Tch, you’ve only been here for a few days and you already want to enjoy special treatment under Madam’s name,” Little Liu’s mocking voice trailed behind her.
An Bu didn’t mind. She deliberately asked just now to see if Little Liu knew about Madam Dong’s situation. Now it seems he doesn’t know. Madam Dong asked her to call Little Liu to drive her home, probably not considering that she was pretending to be ignorant, without normal capacity to act, and couldn’t possibly instruct others.
Since Madam Dong hid it from Little Liu, it meant she didn’t trust him. In such a large mansion, how many people could be trusted?
An Bu was unaware that after she confronted those old men from the Dong family, they immediately called Madam Dong’s daughter, urging her to dismiss An Bu. However, as Madam Dong’s daughter always had a dislike for them, she naturally refused without hesitation.
With this plan foiled, they decided to target An Bu, just as they had forced out those ignorant servants before. It could be said that almost everyone in the Dong mansion was their informant. Their surveillance of Madam Dong had reached a disturbing level.
But this time, they had run into a tough opponent in Old Corpse An.
In the afternoon, An Bu and Jian Ningxuan were working out in the adjacent gym when they received a call from the Medical Nursing Association, stating that someone had complained about her for being negligent, insulting her employer, and having improper conduct. They demanded her to defend herself within 72 hours, otherwise, it would be recorded in her file.
“What’s going on?” Jian Ningxuan squinted his eyes, asking in a deep voice.
“Someone finds me disagreeable and wants to force me out,” An Bu put down her phone and continued running on the treadmill.
“What’s your plan?”
“Of course, I’m not leaving.” Haven’t you heard the saying, “easy to invite a guest, hard to send them off”? Did they really think it was easy to deal with an old corpse like her? “I’ll call Miss Dong later. As long as she, the employer, steps in, the complaint will be withdrawn soon.”
Jian Ningxuan nodded understandingly, picked up a towel to wipe off his sweat, then left the gym and went back to his room. He turned on his computer and began to gather information about the Dong family.
An Bu pondered silently. Those people were being so proactive against a newcomer like her. They probably suspected her to be an outsider brought in by Miss Dong.
Originally, she didn’t want to meddle, but seeing them so eager, she reluctantly decided to intervene.
Two hours later, the complaint was withdrawn. Miss Dong was very cooperative and didn’t care about those old men’s face, probably having endured a lot from them over the years.
The next day, An Bu arrived at the Dong family right on time. Under the peculiar gaze of the crowd, she walked straight into Madam Dong’s bedroom.
Seeing her, Madam Dong hesitated, “Are you alright?”
“What could be wrong with me?” An Bu looked refreshed and still as bright as a flower.
Madam Dong wondered, why were those people not making any moves? Perhaps they hadn’t started yet. Once again, she reminded An Bu to be careful and to resign immediately if there were any troubles.
An Bu smiled, “Madam, care to make a bet with me? If I can last a month, you’ll have Miss Dong give me a big red envelope. If I can last two months, you’ll accompany me to watch a movie. If I can last three months…”
“If you can last three months…” Madam Dong interrupted, “I’ll give you a big gift.”
Three months… she probably won’t live until then, but she accepts the sincerity of this girl.
“Agreed.” Holding her hand, An Bu smiled and made the agreement with her.
From that day on, An Bu seemed like a bound spirit, squatting in the Dong Family Mansion without leaving.
Dong Chengshao came to cause trouble, even flirtatiously teasing An Bu. Seeing this, Madam Dong, worriedly said, “Little Bu, you should resign.”
“Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing.”
That night, under the cover of darkness, An Bu found Dong Chengshao, threw a bag over his head, and gave him a good beating, sending him directly to the hospital. Not only that, he also suffered an inhumane attack from Jian Ningxuan, with scandalous photos flying everywhere. Even the size of his underwear was exposed. He wouldn’t dare show his face for at least half a year.
The elders of the Dong family were furious and sent people to threaten, manipulate, and retaliate against An Bu. But it was like poking a hornet’s nest. One by one, the company encountered problems, with all the loopholes exposed and impossible to fix.
One day, two days, three days… An Bu went to work on time every day, rain or shine, as steady as Mount Tai.
The visits of those people to the Dong Family Mansion became less and less frequent. After a month, they disappeared completely. The uncles and elders who used to make Madam Dong feel like facing a ferocious beast, in front of An Bu, were like moths to a flame, one by one falling down.
“Little Bu,” Madam Dong handed a big red envelope to An Bu, “you’ve won.”
“Thank you, Madam.” An Bu unabashedly pocketed it.
“Little Bu, I want to ask you a favor.” Madam Dong originally thought her wish was impossible, but An Bu’s appearance brought her hope.
“Go ahead.”
“I want to find a lawyer and make a will.”
“No problem, I’ll arrange it for you.”
Madam Dong was closely monitored by the Dong family, and her movements were restricted. She wanted to hire a lawyer but also had to worry about the other party being bribed, so she had not acted. With An Bu’s help now, all the problems were easily solved.
She could finally do something for her daughter.
