A servant walked over and asked curiously, "Butler Wang, are you here looking for Young Master Lin?"
"Yes."
Butler Wang nodded. "Where is Young Master Lin?"
The servant replied, "Young Master Lin has gone out. He probably left a few minutes ago; in any case, he hasn't been gone long."
Butler Wang quickly called Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan answered.
"Young Master Lin, where are you?" Butler Wang asked respectfully.
"I'm dealing with some matters outside right now. As for dinner, don't wait for me. I'll grab something simple out here."
Lin Xuan spoke very quickly, leaving Butler Wang no chance to interject.
"My phone is about to die now, Butler Wang. Please tell Huabao for me, say I'll be back later and she shouldn't wait for me."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Xuan's phone battery ran out and it automatically shut down.
Butler Wang lowered the hand holding his phone, his face a picture of utter despair.
"This is just great."
"Really, what a mess."
Young Master Lin isn't coming back for dinner, and his phone conveniently shut down. There's no way to contact him in time to tell him that the young lady personally cooked a meal for him.
Won't all the food the young lady made go to waste?
If the young lady finds out Young Master Lin won't be coming to eat the meal she prepared, she's bound to be heartbroken.
Butler Wang tried to contact those who secretly protected Lin Xuan, but this time Lin Xuan had gone out alone and hadn't let them follow.
Butler Wang sighed.
It seemed the young lady's mood would definitely be very poor this time.
No.
Butler Wang's eyes darted around. At a time like this, he couldn't rush forward to be the scapegoat.
He needed to find someone else to take the blame.
"You, come here."
Butler Wang pointed at a servant passing by.
"Butler Wang." The servant walked up to him and asked respectfully, "What are your instructions?"
Butler Wang said, "Go to the dining room and inform the young lady that Young Master Lin won't be back for dinner."
Hmm.
The young lady worked so hard to cook a meal, yet Young Master Lin isn't coming back to eat it. The young lady is sure to lose her temper.
Let this person bear the brunt of the young lady's anger.
Unaware of the situation, the servant readily agreed, "Yes, Butler Wang. I'll go inform the young lady right away."
In the dining room.
As time passed, Su Hua's mood grew increasingly anxious.
The servants attending in the dining room were filled with anticipation.
No matter whether the young lady's cooking was good or not, Young Master Lin would surely like it and would greatly praise the meal she made.
If the young lady was pleased, she might even give them a bonus.
"Click."
The dining room door was pushed open.
Almost everyone in the dining room looked toward the entrance, including Su Hua.
The servant sent by Butler Wang to inform Su Hua that Lin Xuan wouldn't be back for dinner frowned.
What's going on?
Why did she feel like everyone was staring at her?
The light in Su Hua's eyes dimmed.
She glanced at the clock on the wall.
Her lips pressed tightly together.
It had already been ten minutes, and Ah Xuan still hadn't come down for dinner. Could it be he's not home...
Thinking this.
The atmosphere in the dining room became extremely oppressive.
"What is it? Speak."
Su Hua spoke coldly.
The maid wiped sweat from her forehead.
Nervously, she entered the dining room and closed the door.
What's going on?
Why does the young lady sound like she's eaten gunpowder?
When the young lady came home from work today, her mood was still quite good, wasn't it?
How did it become so bad in just a short hour?
Seeing the maid remain silent, Su Hua's expression grew even colder.
"Speak!"
Su Hua said again.
"Yes, yes, yes."
The maid hurriedly replied, "Young Lady, Butler Wang sent me to tell you that Young Master Lin has gone out on business and won't be joining for dinner."
As her words fell.
The maid felt a bone-chilling cold spread around her.
The atmosphere became so oppressive it was hard to breathe.
A room full of servants stood trembling to the side, not daring to speak at all.
What kind of situation is this?
They had thought Young Master Lin would come to eat, would praise the young lady's cooking, and they could get a reward from the young lady.
Turns out, Young Master Lin wasn't even at the Night Manor.
Now, not only would they not get a reward, but they also had to face the young lady's overwhelming anger...
Su Hua stared at the dishes on the table.
After a long while.
She finally spoke in a hoarse voice, "Since no one is going to eat them, there's no need to keep these. Take them all and throw them away."
After saying this.
Su Hua stood up.
She wasn't blaming Ah Xuan. It was just that this first meal she personally cooked in the kitchen, she couldn't give it to Ah Xuan to eat.
She felt terribly irritable.
She even felt an impulse to lock her Ah Xuan up... so a situation like today, where she cooked and Ah Xuan wasn't here, wouldn't happen again.
Su Hua suppressed the impulse to lock her Ah Xuan away and left the dining room.
The servants breathed a sigh of relief.
"The expression on the young lady's face just now was truly terrifying."
The servants fearfully patted their chests.
Thankfully, the young lady didn't vent her anger on them.
Otherwise, they'd have lost half their lives.
"What's going on?" that maid frowned and asked curiously, "Just over an hour ago, when the young lady first came back, her mood was clearly still fine. How did she become so irritable so suddenly?"
"Ah, you didn't know?"
A servant explained, "The young lady personally cooked today, wanting to make a meal for Young Master Lin. Think about it, the young lady was full of joy, expecting her beloved to eat the food she made. Yet, he didn't come. How could the young lady's mood be good?"
"So that's the reason!"
That maid's eyes widened.
She patted her chest, "Close call, close call. Thankfully, Miss Su didn't do anything to me."
No wonder Butler Wang sent her to inform the young lady that Young Master Lin wouldn't be coming for dinner.
So Butler Wang was up to no good.
"Should we really throw all this food away?" The maid looked at the dishes on the table.
Her expression was hesitant.
Such good food, and made by the young lady herself.
Throwing it away seemed such a pity.
"Throw it away," another servant sighed and said. "After all, no one's going to eat it."
Butler Wang saw Su Hua come out of the dining room.
He slipped into the dining room.
He saw the servants reaching for the dishes.
"What are you doing?" Butler Wang said loudly.
A servant answered, "Butler Wang, the young lady told us to throw this food away."
The maid looked at Butler Wang with a resentful gaze.
Worried about bearing the young lady's anger himself, he made her be the punching bag.
Butler Wang, you really are something else.
Butler Wang understood the meaning in the maid's look. He coughed, quickly shifted his gaze, and pretended not to have noticed anything.
"No need to throw these away," Butler Wang instructed. "Put them away properly for now. Young Master Lin will need this food to placate the young lady later."
Young Master Lin can't eat the young lady's cooking now, but he can when he gets back.
