Chapter 10 - Don't cry (1)

Xu Yushan had finally moved into the Zhong's mansion; naturally she couldn't wait to show off her new status as Miss Zhong to her friends.

She had invited her old co-workers, some closer girlfriends from the past, even some male friends to a party at the Zhong's mansion. She had heard that the third floor of the mansion was unoccupied and rarely used. On top of that it even has an indoor swimming pool, perfect for hosting gatherings.

After she had contacted everyone by phone, she turned around and told the maid, "Set up the third floor, I have guests coming for a party this afternoon."

Zhong Chi would be out of the country for a couple of days for meetings and wouldn't be returning to the mansion. Xu Yunhui went with him as well to take care of him.

Otherwise, Xu Yushan would not be daring enough to host a party at home.

The maid paused for a second and said, stuttering, "The third floor… the third floor was cleaned up yesterday. Miss had moved in with the two young masters."

Xu Yushan's face turned colors, "What Miss? From now on, you are to refer to her as Second Miss! And what are these young masters you speak of? The Zhong's has only one young master, and that's my brother!"

The maid lowered her head without saying another word.

It had been over ten years; it wouldn't be easy to start referring to them differently.

Her reaction enraged Xu Yushan even more.

Still, there was a bit of distance, a bit distance between herself and Zhong Yuhuan! That's why even the servants in this mansion had no respect for her!

"Where is Zhong Yuhuan? Is she up yet?" asked Xu Yushan as she tried to suppress her feeling of loathing toward Zhong Yuhuan.

Zhong Yuhuan's words from yesterday were still seared deeply into her memories. She replayed those words in her head over and over again and each time she did that she became more envious and hateful.

How could Zhong Yuhuan had so much?!

Why was she such a bully and continue to have a hold on everything here? The new Madam of this mansion was her mother!

"Miss…." The maid was half way through before she corrected herself, "Second Miss is not yet up."

Xu Yushan immediately started running upstairs, "I am going to talk to her. This is ridiculous. This is the Zhong's mansion, why does she get an entire floor to herself?" After she finished saying that, she immediately added, "If dad was home, he'd be very upset!"

The maid chased after her and tried to talk her out of it by saying, "Second Miss is usually quite cranky when she first wakes up. Now might not be the best time."

Xu Yushan thought to herself, her being cranky would be perfect.

Ideally, she should start going off on me, then I could show the surveillance video to dad and have Zhong Yuhuan removed from the third floor.

Xu Yushan picked up her pace and arrived on the third floor in no time.

When she arrived at the end of the stairs on the third floor, there was a door, a wooden door. It looked fragile, yet Xu Yushan wasn't able to open it.

Xu Yushan almost couldn't keep her mean tone under control but finally was able to force a smile on her face and said to the maid, "What is the meaning of this? We are a family. Why does she have a door here? Is the purpose to keep the rest of us out?"

The maid smiled but didn't comment.

Xu Yushan turned around to give Zhong Chi a call.

But at this time, Zhong Chi had just boarded the plane as did Xu Yunhui. Naturally she wasn't able to reach any one of them.

Xu Yushan had no choice but to grit her teeth and let it go for now.

But what was she to do?

She had already called up all her friends and the words had already gotten out.

Now that Zhong Yuhuan had taken up the entire third floor, how was she going to host her gathering?
