“Miss Gu Ling, you… How can you do this to me?” Auntie Zhang wiped her tears and stole a glance at Old Master Gu before acting pitiful. “T’ve been in the Gu family for so long and have always taken good care of the Old Master. It’s just that this time, I made a mistake and you want to kick me out.”

“Why can’t I…”

Old Master Gu cleared his throat and looked at Gu Ling unhappily. His daughter was too straightforward and harsh, making it difficult for him to not fire her now.

Old Master Gu was a little unwilling to fire her. After all, Auntie Zhang had worked in the Gu family for many years and knew his temper and likes very well. If it was someone else, she would have to be taught for a period of time.

However, Auntie Zhang had indeed done something wrong this time. Letting her off lightly would also damage his authority in the Gu family.

Yan Xi had been observing Old Master Gu’s expression from the side. Seeing that he was hesitant, she took the initiative to say, “Auntie Zhang has worked at home for so long, so she must know Grandpa the best. It would be a pity to fire an experienced staff like that.”

She paused and successfully attracted Old Master Gu’s attention.

“But since this concerns your health, Auntie Zhang definitely needs to be taught a lesson. Why don’t we do as Auntie says, deducting Auntie Zhang’s bonus for the past six months and handing the kitchen work to others. From now on, Auntie Zhang will only be in charge of food cost planning. What do you

think?”

Not only did Yan Xi not embarrass Gu Ling, but she also took into account Old Master Gu’s thoughts, making him quite satisfied.

“Fine, we’ll do as you say.”

Gu Ling snorted, “Auntie Zhang wanted to push the blame on you just now, but in the end, you spoke up for her. You are really a nice person.”

“I didn’t expect there to be a problem with the potato porridge. I was too anxious and said that.” Auntie Zhang was smart and immediately apologized to Yan Xi. “Please don’t take it to heart, Madam.”

Yan Xi was waiting for someone to say this. She laughed in her heart, but she pretended not to mind.

“believe Auntie Zhang didn’t do it on purpose. But since it’s a mistake, punishment is necessary. Grandpa, how about this, deduct Auntie Zhang’s salary for this month.”

“Okay.” Old Master Gu’s expression softened. “Let’s do as you said.”

Then, he looked at Auntie Zhang with a sharp gaze. “Don’t do it again.”

Auntie Zhang quickly nodded.

The atmosphere in the room was much more relaxed. Yan Xi asked obediently beside Old Master Gu, “Grandpa, are you hungry? I’ll go cook you some oatmeal. This is easy to digest and is good for your body.”

Old Master Gu looked at Yan Xi and felt that this girl was smart and likable, so he said kindly, “Go ahead.”

Auntie Zhang stood up at the right time and followed Yan Xi back to the kitchen. After leaving the various gazes, she heaved a sigh of relief. However, when she looked up, she met Yan Xi’s gaze again.

Her eyes were dark and she looked at her without moving, making Auntie Zhang tremble.

“Young Madam.” Auntie Zhang finally realized that she was trembling. She calmed herself and said, “What are you doing?”

“Nothing, I just want Auntie Zhang to heat a glass of milk for me. You should be able to complete this task, right?”

Auntie Zhang responded with a complicated expression. She turned around awkwardly to prepare the milk and then went to the side to cook oatmeal.

“Madam, the oats need to be cooked for a while. Why don’t you go out and wait.”

“No hurry.” Yan Xi walked to Auntie Zhang. She lowered her head slightly and looked down at her. “Auntie Zhang, aren’t you curious why I’m speaking up for you today?”

“You…” Auntie Zhang could not think straight. She only looked at Yan Xi in a daze.

Yan Xi smiled and continued, “Today, Auntie wanted to kick you out. Grandpa listened to me and was willing to let you stay.” Her hand rested on Auntie Zhang’s shoulder and gently pressed down. “So, now you understand who is more powerful in this family, right?”

Naturally, Old Master Gu was the one who had the most authority. Yan Xi was just using Old Master Gu’s influence to intimidate people.

“Auntie Zhang, since I have the ability to make you stay, I can naturally kick you out. You and your subordinates, if you dare to look down on Gu Shen again, I’ll make you disappear immediately. Do you understand?”

Auntie Zhang shivered and avoided Yan Xi’s gaze. After a while, she nodded unwillingly.

“Got it.
