Chapter 404: Deliberate Neglect

“You’re really overbearing. A servant didn’t serve you breakfast and you want to fire her?”

Shen Fanxing replied in a manner that was neither servile nor overbearing, “She’s here to serve the family! If she failed to serve her, she has failed to carry out her duty. If this was the ancient times, I would have dragged her out and beaten her to death! However, this is a society ruled by law. I’m merely firing her!”

That servant nearly died from anger. How could she be compared to those servant girls who sold their bodies in the past. There were no human rights in those times!

Shen Qianrou interjected, “Sister, Xiaolin was pouring milk for me just now and she neglected you. Look…”

Shen Fanxing studied her casually and said, “Why should I be neglected? I’m unhappy and I can’t tolerate her.”

She was speechless…

The servant was speechless…

“Are you done? Sit down and eat!”

Jiang Rongrong became even angrier and berated Shen Fanxing the moment she opened her mouth. The servant called Xiaolin straightened her back, and her stubbornness and disdain was apparent.

Shen Fanxing smirked coldly as she stared at Xiaolin’s smug face. She took out her phone and made a call.

“Hello, Grandpa, can you step in and fire a servant for me… What’s the matter? Does deliberately not preparing breakfast for me count? Me? My words don’t carry any weight. Even a servant can treat me with contempt. I can’t afford to provoke anyone… Thank you Grandpa!”

After hanging up, the expressions of the few people at the dining table darkened.

Xiaolin was even more flustered. The salary offered by the Shen family was good. Without an education, it wouldn’t be easy for her to find another job with such good benefits.

But she had called the Old Master…

Shen Fanxing didn’t eat her breakfast. Instead, she picked up her bag and walked out coldly.

When she reached the entrance, a servant was walking back with a basket of fresh vegetables. She accidentally bumped into Shen Fanxing, causing the tomatoes to stain her white heels.

The servant was shocked. She knew that working in a rich family meant that the clothes worn by their mistresses could cover their salary for years.

Now that Shen Fanxing’s shoes were dirtied, she… couldn’t afford to compensate her.

“Sorry Young Mistress, I’ll help you to wipe…”

The servant blurted in a panic. She hurried to wipe the tomato juices off Shen Fanxing’s shoes, but Shen Fanxing retracted her feet.

“Young Mistress…”

The servant looked up at her timidly, but Shen Fanxing shook her head.

“I’m fine, go and do your work.”

The servant paused before taking out two napkins from her pocket to pass them to Shen Fanxing.

“Thank you.”

Shen Fanxing took it calmly and bent to wipe the juices off her shoes. When she stood up, she picked up the tomato that was still intact and handed it to the servant. Then, she turned and left without looking back.

The servant looked at Shen Fanxing’s back and panicked. Everyone said that Young Mistress was ruthless and had a bad temper, but just now… it was obviously not the case.

She could tell that Young Mistress was thoughtful and gentle, even though she looked aloof.

…

Shen Fanxing drove to her office and worked non-stop for the entire morning.

She drove out again in the afternoon and came back to peruse more documents. She lowered her head to look at the time. It was 2:00 p.m., so she took out her phone and made a call.

The call went through not long after and she pressed the phone to her ear. After the other party answered, she smiled slightly and her clear voice sounded. She spoke in fluent French..
