    She had already been hurt enough. Why was she so foolish, seeking trouble by provoking him and adding to her own problems?


    Only now did Jian Yufei understand a little. Not provoking him was a form of protection for herself.


    She slowly straightened her body, turned sideway to face him, lowered her gaze and showed no emotion on her face.Th.e? most uptodate novels are published on n(0)velbj)n(.)co/m


    “Alright, I’m to blame. You’ve punished me already, can you let Aunt Li and the others go?”


    The topic had come full circle, back to where it began.


    Ruan Tianling’s lips curled into a wicked smirk, and he coldly retorted: “Why should I let them go?”


    “It was my decision to go out, they had nothing to do with it! If you’re upset, take it out on me. Don’t involve the innocent!”


    “I didn’t wrong them. I ordered them to keep an eye on you and forbid you from leaving. They deliberately disobeyed me. Did I pay them to go against my orders?!”


    Jian Yufei opened her mouth and softened her tone to persuade him, “They have all been serving in the Ruan Family for over a decade. They know they were wrong and they won’t do it again. If you fire them, where will you find maids who suit your needs as well as they do?”


    She spoke according to Ruan Tianling’s wishes, which eased her grandfather’s concern for her.


    After hanging up, she asked him, “Can you let Aunt Li and the others stay now?”


    “If this happens again, pleading on their behalf won’t make any difference!” he dropped these words, then turned to stride out of the living room.


    Jian Yufei felt unsteady and quickly sat on the sofa. Aunt Li came out and thanked her gratefully: “Miss, we sincerely thank you. If it weren’t for you, we’d be packing our belongings and leaving.”


    The life of ordinary people at the low end of society, especially in big cities, could be incredibly difficult if they lost a good job.


    Jian Yufei understood their struggle. She smiled and asked, “Aunt Li, could you help me buy some contraceptive pills? I’ve used up mine.”


    Since she couldn’t leave, she had to ask others to buy them for her.


    “... Alright, I’ll go right away.” Aunt Li smiled at Jian Yufei, who failed to notice anything strange in her eyes.


    Aunt Li left and not only brought back contraceptive pills but also a tube of burn ointment for her.


    “Miss, this medicine is especially effective for burns. Give it a try. I guarantee that in just a few days, your wound will heal.”


    The tube of burn ointment was labeled entirely in English, indicating it was an imported medicine.
