Chapter 16: The Maid Was Fired

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Zhizhi dreamed of her sister.

‘Big Sister rarely smiles, but she’s a good-looking person. There’s no other girl in the entire Peppermint Alley who’s prettier than my Big Sister,’ Zhizhi thought. She had heard the men in Peppermint Alley say the same thing.

However, her sister said that the most important thing for a girl was whether she was capable or not. It didn’t matter if she was good-looking or not. Sometimes, being good-looking was also a kind of trouble. She would be bullied.

Zhizhi did not quite understand. Big Sister was so pretty, but it was not troublesome at all! Moreover, no one had ever dared to bully her sister. The old and young of Peppermint Lane would immediately become serious when they mentioned her. The good people would respect her sister, while the bad people would fear her.

Because of her sister, Zhizhi had been treated well by the people of Peppermint Alley since she was young. It was her sister who had held up the sky for her in Peppermint Alley.

In the dream, her sister hugged her, carried her on her back, and lifted her up high. All the injuries on her body had healed, and Zhizhi was so happy!

Zhizhi, you have to listen to your family, eat well, and grow up quickly. Big Sister will always be watching over you and accompanying you.

“Sister, I miss you.” Zhizhi raised her head to look at her Big Sister, who was gradually becoming one with the Halo.

Her sister smiled at her, and that smile was as bright as the sun. Zhizhi blinked, and her sister disappeared.

Zhizhi opened her eyes in a hurry.

She rolled up and was stunned. This was not her bed, nor was it her home.

Big Sister… She could not care less. Where was her sister?

She jumped out of bed and ran. She opened the door, feeling a little dazed.

Where was this place?

After passing through the small corridor, they arrived at a very spacious living room.

On the sofa in the living room, there was a strange man in a beige casual suit, working on a computer in his hand.

Zhizhi stood there, at a loss.

Her five-year-old little brain was really not sharp enough. At this time, her mind was only filled with her sister.

Now that her sister was gone, her room was gone, and Peppermint Alley was gone, where was she?

Zhizhi was so anxious that she started crying, like a small animal locked in a cage, pitiful and helpless.

When the man sitting on the sofa heard her crying, he immediately put down his laptop and rushed over to pick her up. “Zhizhi? What’s wrong? Don’t cry, don’t cry, Big Brother is here.”

Zhizhi’s crying stopped abruptly. Big brother?

Her brain was finally awake.

She had returned to the Gu family. From now on, she was Gu Zhi.

The person in front of her was her older brother, Gu Su.

Gu Su held Zhizhi in his arms, and the brother and sister looked at each other.

“Young Miss, Young Miss? Why did you run here?” The maid’s anxious voice came.

The gentle expression on Gu Su’s face immediately disappeared. “What do you mean by running here? There was no one beside her when she woke up. You didn’t look after her, and you blame her for running out on her own? Go find Uncle Jiang, get your pay, and leave!”

The maid’s face changed in fear. “Young Master, I’m sorry. I, I saw that Young Miss was asleep, so I went to see if the breakfast was ready for her. I didn’t expect Young Miss to wake up and run out by herself…”

“There’s no need to explain. I can’t be bothered to waste my breath on you. Since you don’t have a deep understanding of the job of taking care of Young Miss, you’re not suitable to stay by her side. You may leave.” Gu Su’s voice was even colder.

The maid still wanted to argue, but Gu Su already snapped, “Men!”

Another older maid quickly ran over, “Young Master!”

Gu Su said coldly, “Nanny Zhang, haven’t you been training our servants? How can you arrange just any random person to be by the Young Miss’s side? Go find Uncle Jiang to receive your punishment!”

Madam Zhang did not dare to ask and quickly bowed. “Yes, Young Master!”

She pulled the maid away without giving her a chance to explain.

When Gu Su saw Zhizhi again, his face had softened.

Zhizhi was so frightened by his tone that she stopped crying. Gu Su touched her head and took out a tissue to wipe her tears and snot. He said gently, “Is Zhizhi scared because she didn’t see anyone after she woke up?”

Zhizhi felt a little aggrieved and nodded her head lightly.

“Zhizhi, don’t be afraid. There won’t be such a thing in the future. This is your home, and you’re our family’s most precious Young Miss. Be good, don’t cry! Do you know who I am?”

Gu Su coaxed Zhizhi gently.

Zhizhi blinked her big eyes and shook her head lightly.

“I’m your Big Brother, the eldest.” Gu Su introduced himself.

Zhizhi was a little shy and called out softly, “Big brother.”

Gu Su smiled and pinched her face.
