Chapter 457 - Guest or Servant?
Wang Yazhi took a sip of the bone marrow soup. The soup was rich, the taste lingering on her lips and teeth.
“The soup is delicious. Mandy, I have inconvenienced you.” Speaking, Wang Yazhi patted Mandy’s hand. “I really have to thank you for today. Not only are you a good person, your heart is also kind.”
Mandy had on a conspicuous smile. “Ma’am, as long as you like it. Frankly, I love studying cooking. However, Mr. Guan is rarely on Huxin Island, so I have no one to show it off to. Huxin Island doesn’t have many people. Everyday, besides a couple of employees, I am unable to interact with other people.” As she said this, Mandy sadly lowered her head, looking pitiful.
Once Wang Yazhi heard this, she replied, “If it’s like that, how about you come help out at the Ruan residence?”
Mandy’s eyes drifted towards Ling Tianya. “Can I?”
“Of course you can!” Wang Yazhi smiled softly. “Although making you stay in Huxin Island was for the purpose of protecting you, if that place is indeed as you say, rather isolated, then it would be rather inappropriate for a woman like you to stay there long term. It would be better for you to come work at home where there are more people. Also, your soup is so delicious that I want to drink it everyday.”
“But…” Mandy’s face was hesitant as she worrily looked towards Ling Tianya.
Wang Yazhi looked at Ling Tianya. “Yaya, what do you think? Since you are acquainted with Mandy and she was even once your bridesmaid, she can stay here and accompany you, right?”
Ling Tianya’s eyes swept towards Mandy, suppressing a smile. “Mom, you are right. But I don’t know under what identity Mandy would stay at home.”
Mandy bit her lip, her urgent eyes focused on Wang Yazhi.
Wang Yazhi tilted her head. “Under what identity? Of course as Mandy.”
Seeing that Wang Zhiyi obviously did not understand her question, Ling Tianya responded, smiling, “I mean, is Mandy staying at home under the identity of a guest or a servant?”
Guest? Servant?
Neither of these were positions that Mandy wanted. Ling Tianya obviously didn’t care about her!
If she was a guest, that would mean that she would only be temporarily staying in the Ruan residence and could be kicked out at any moment.
If she was a servant, then it would be even more of a joke. Wouldn’t she be the same as those that took care of people all day?
If it was like that, it would be better for her to stay on Huxin Island. At least there, she was the head and everyone listened to her.
Thinking this, Mandy dropped her eyes and pitifully gazed at Wang Yazhi.
Hearing Ling Tianya draw such a clear distinction between one’s status and position, a flash of shock spread across Wang Yazhi’s face. “Yaya, Mandy is my savior. Letting her come into the house is for the purpose of taking care of her. Of course she can’t be treated as a servant.”
Mandy hung her head, but her eyes flashed with pride.
Seeing that Wang Yazhi was a little unhappy, Ling Tianya did not panic and she continued to say, “Then she is a guest. If that is the case, then I will definitely treat her as a VIP and properly receive her. After all, she is mom’s savior. I will use all of my power to satisfy mandy until the day she leaves.”
Seeing Ling Tianya being so polite and treating Mandy as she would a wealthy lady, Wang Yazhi was a bit troubled. “But… it doesn’t have to be like that…”
Although Wang Yazhi was very thankful for Mandy and complemented her culinary skills, at the end of the day, she was only Manpeng’s sister. Manpeng was only Ruan Zeyan’s assistant.
So she was not suited to be treated as a VIP by the Ruan family.
