Chapter 16: You are fired!

Yu Yuehan turned around and sat himself down on the sofa. Looking at his posture, he seemed ready to take up the matter personally.

Despite his doubts, the butler did not dare to poke into the matter.

He urged Nian Xiaomu hastily. “Why are you still stoning here?”

“…” Nian Xiaomu bit her lips. Her expression did not seem to be as filled with rage as before, but there was still a mixed feeling when she looked at Yu Yuehan.

She wasn’t sure what was wrong with her today; she felt that this iceberg was not only handsome, but also pleasing to the eye…

Especially the moment when he made Fang Zhenyi shut her mouth just now… Simply too strikingly domineering!

“I did not wet the medicine. I saw it with my own eyes; it was Fang Zhenyi who poured the cup of water from the table right into the medicine box. The real thief is calling others a thief…” Nian Xiaomu straightened her back and recited the entire incident clearly.

Nian Xiaomu’s eyes were filled with rage as she thought of Fang Zhenyi taking advantage of her good temper and tampering with Xiao Liuliu’s medicine. All of this just to chase her away.

“Young Master Han, it wasn’t me…” Fang Zhenyi started to get nervous as she listened on. Just when she wanted to speak, she thought of the butler’s warning and stopped awkwardly.

She was so worried that she resembled ants scrambling on top of a hot pan.

She was afraid that Yu Yuehan would take Nian Xiaomu’s words to heart and have her chased out of the Yu residence.

“Evidence,” Yu Yuehan spilled one word out lightly, his thin lips slightly apart.

His deep, soulful eyes and motionless eyebrows made it impossible to guess which party he had belief in.

“…” Nian Xiaomu was stunned at his questioning.

He did not say that he believed her, but at the same time, he also did not assume that she was the culprit right at the start like the butler had.

He was giving her a chance to prove her innocence.

But…

Nian Xiaomu frowned as she looked up at the CCTVs surrounding the villa.

If her instincts were right, Yu Yuehan would never spy on Xiao Liuliu like a criminal since he loved his daughter so dearly.

However, without the CCTV, she would have no witnesses at all since Fang Zhenyi and herself were the only ones in the room just now.

Nian Xiaomu seemed to think of something, and her eyes lit up.

“I have no evidence that proves my innocence, but it is the same for Fang Zhenyi—she does not have any evidence that proves that I was the one who wet the medicine, so she is a suspect as well.”

As it was just the two of them, either could be the culprit.

Since Fang Zhenyi could accuse her, she could accuse Fang Zhenyi too!

“…” Yu Yuehan squinted his eyes with a look of admiration.

Aware that she was affecting his emotions yet again, he knitted his brow.

Right away, his thin lips set apart slightly.

“If problems arise before the handover of work was completed in the office, who do you think should shoulder the responsibility?”

“…” Nian Xiaomu was struck dumb. Quickly, she understood what he meant.

It was technically her work shift before Fang Zhenyi came. If problems arose, yet evidence could not be found to determine whose responsibility it should be, she could be faulted for it.

“Let me ask you again. Do you have any evidence to prove your innocence?”

Yu Yuehan’s icy cold attitude was accompanied with his thin, slightly parted lips—it was all just like the first time she met him.

High up in the air, nobody was able to get close to him.

Nian Xiaomu was not the only one who was stunned. The assistant who had been following him was confused as well.

He had thought that Young Master was going to speak up for Nian Xiaomu.

But looking at the situation now, it seemed that something was wrong…

Yu Yuehan rose from the sofa and stood up. With a hand in his pocket and an arbitrary pose, these features added a touch of evil to his perfect face.

He drilled his gaze on Nian Xiaomu; a gaze that she did not quite understand.

“You are fired.”

As soon as he finished his sentence, he turned around and prepared to leave.

“Yu Yuehan, I refuse to accept this!”
