As expected of someone who grew up wildly outside and was devoid of any manners. Even though she had returned, she probably wouldn't win Madam Nie and Patriarch Nie's favor.
Nie Linglong magnanimously and amiably spoke up, "Sister Worriless, the steward is just acting on the wellbeing of Tangtang and didn't do anything wrong. If he's made you unhappy, you can just mildly punish him. You truly don't need to be so angry."
Ye Wanwan mockingly glanced at Nie Linglong. "Who said I'm firing him because of this?"
"Then...?"
Ye Wanwan smiled. "Because I don't like him."
Nie Linglong started. A tinge of anger appeared on her face, but she quickly concealed the emotion and turned to Madam Nie and Patriarch Nie with a troubled expression. "Dad, Mom, Steward Li has performed his duties properly and never did anything wrong since he came to the Nie family. If we fire him just like this, I'm afraid it'd be inappropriate..."
As Patriarch Nie served some food to Ye Wanwan's bowl, he uncaringly said, "Since Worriless doesn't like him, we'll replace him. It's nothing serious."
Madam Nie promptly said to the young steward, "Go to the finance department and settle your salary."
The young steward couldn't believe how easily he was fired. He was fired simply because of an "I don't like him" from Ye Wanwan? He turned to look at Nie Linglong pleadingly.
Nie Linglong's pupils contracted. Previously, although Madam Nie and Patriarch Nie treated the impostor indulgently, they still had a limit. Who would've expected them to lose all principles when faced with the real Worriless Nie? They obeyed and agreed with her every word basically...
Anything she said would probably be useless under these circumstances and might even provoke their ire.
This interlude quickly concluded. Nie Linglong was unable to plead for leniency and the young steward was fired directly.
Madam Nie turned to Ye Wanwan. "Ah, Worriless, don't be angry. Since you don't like this one, I'll go call a group of people here another day and you can choose one you like."
Ye Wanwan hugged Madam Nie by her arm and happily said, "Thank you, Mom!"
