Falling Dreams, Rising Hopes: Saving Mr. Boyfriend

"Gu Chang! Where are your manners? Should you not be giving the gift to the sick person as soon as we stepped in? What is this behavior?" Don't know what the girl was trying to prove but it was weird she was creating such a drama for no reason, that too in Yu Tian's house.

"I am so sorry for my servant's behavior, I hope you will forgive him", Gu Layue bowed sweetly to both of them, as if her assistant had committed a grave crime here.

"I should remind Miss Gu that this is Young Master Yu's property. It does not suit your status to be creating such a ruckus in another's home, don't you think?" Mei Qingyang smiled coyly.

Again, if Gu Layue were not here to suck up to the girl, she would have asked her who she was for speaking like this in Yu Tian's home. If only…

Tsk, tsk, girl. You are here to impress senior Yu, yet you do what he hates the most. You call your assistant your servant and then you slapped him for no rhyme or reason.

Su Lang was still in confusion as to why Gu Layue would put onsuch a show. Mei Qingyang also could not think of her motive to come here but if she wanted to see Yu Tian, he would definitely soon be out hearing such commotion.

Indeed, he did come out from his room to see what was happening. Gu Layue's eyes lit up like a hungry wolf had seen his prey. With a shy expression, she lowered her gaze like a meek little lamb. This was a drastic change from the behavior she had just displayed.

"Young Master Yu, how are you doing?" Gu Layue asked shyly. Mei Qingyang and Su Lang threw up in their minds. Was this the same Gu Layue a few minutes ago?

Yu Tian was just standing at his bedroom's door, irritated at this girl and more frustrated with Mei Qingyang's decision to let her in. And now she created this disaster with melted chocolates in the living room.

"Cough… Assistant Yu, could you please call Mrs. Zhao for cleaning this mess up?" Mei Qingyang asked Yu Bufan, who was standing like an invisible statue at a corner, to call the cleaning lady of the house.

Mrs. Zhao was an old lady who used to take care of all the cleaning and cooking for Yu Tian. She was one of the maids under his mom once and then she came over to serve him.

If Yu Tian was not as cold and isolated as he usually was, she would have loved the child as her own. She had anyway dedicated her life in serving this kid, she did not get married nor did she have any family left. She was on standby 27x7 for her master in one of the servant quarters at the corner of Yu Tian's penthouse.

Cooking was usually taken care of by her but these days, Yu Bufan would tell her beforehand, on the instructions of their Young Master, when she needed to cook the meals. Otherwise, Yu Tian would cook the meals himself these days.

Once again, seeing that even that servant Yu was listening to the lowly commoner's orders, Gu Layue got more incensed. She should be the mistress of the household, why was this girl getting to order everyone around?

Gu Chang was still not in his senses. His mistress had become too willful lately. While he had tried to be the dominant one, going as far as planning schemes for her to get closer to Yu Tian and being assertive and aggressive during their 'fun' times, she was still treating him like an animal before all these dignitaries. Where was his dignity?

"Why call Mrs. Zhao here? Shouldn't the person who made the mess clean it up?" Yu Tian said coldly, making even Mei Qingyang sweat.

Oh God, how savage was this guy? He wanted Gu Layue to clean up gooey melted chocolates on the carpet floor. Would she even know how to?

"What are you waiting for Gu Chang? Did you not hear Young Master Yu's words?" Gu Layue ordered her servant.

Well, well. Today was truly an eye-opening day. There was always a difference in the main person any rich kid took as their 'assistant' and then there were maids and servants who were a mix of a.d.u.l.ts from their own families and a few poor kids from the school.

But the 'assistant' or the head servant was almost always from the poor kids of the school. They were also almost similar in age too, so they would grow up together and remain their assistants forever, if they wanted, which was almost always the case because the poor kids were also conditioned to enjoy the luxuries of life with their masters.

Now this so-called 'head servant' of Gu Layue was being asked to clean up the floor on another's property. Mei Qingyang shook her head in pity for Gu Chang, he had to put up with so much.

"Not him, you", Yu Tian looked straight at Gu Layue, with no empathy in his eyes at all. The other two in the room were finding it hard to hold back their laughter. Why did she come here when she knew Yu Tian hated pretentious girls like her the most? Or she perhaps did not know that.

A teary-eyed Gu Layue replied, "Young Master Yu, are you not being unreasonable? I am still the miss of Gu family, you are asking me to clean the floor up for you?"

"So what? Do you not think that ranks are based on wealth? Is that not the reason why you are ordering your assistant like this, even beating him up for something he did not do? By that logic, I should be able to order you around too, no?"

Now this was some irrefutable argument right there. Mei Qingyang clapped in her heart, she never knew Yu Tian had a soft spot for poor people, totally unlike his aunt. Her admiration for him increased tenfold.

Gu Layue became speechless. She could not say anything either.

"Do you think she would be able to clean it up? She will just end up ruining your whole carpet. Let it be", she whispered to him, loud enough for both Gu Layue and Gu Chang to hear.

His kitten was so hilarious, the way she sneakily walked towards him. His mood became light as soon as he saw her actions and his eyes softened, just for her. Su Lang was observing the two and nodding his head in elation.

My dear friend, ah! You sure have come a long way!

"Young Master Yu, let her off the hook, okay? It will not be good for you to offend Gu family for such a small thing", Mrs. Zhao had entered from the front door and was watching the show. She was wise beyond years. She had dealt with high society for years with Yu Tian's mother, so she had an idea how things worked here.

Gu Layue straightened her back and stood proudly once again, once she heard her family being mentioned. That's correct, Yu Tian's number of businesses collaborated with Gu empire, he would be in loss if she were to complain to her dad.

Yu Tian laughed in ridicule. He would just show them how things were done.
