Chapter 1353: Miss 1352 will help you.

Na Na’s gaze was elusive, and she stammered, “The pastry was from Xiao Chang in the kitchen, he… he probably likes me, which is why he gave it to me.”

It was as if she had found a breakthrough and she began to explain, “Miss, I really don’t like Xiao Chang. I just want to work well at the Tao family’s place, but Xiao Chang hara.s.ses me daily and often sends me gifts, which I usually refuse. But today, he gave me pastries, so I accepted them.”

After she finished speaking, she mentally gave herself a “like,” because she thought she had spoken perfectly and that Miss would definitely believe her.

Moreover, Xiao Chang was indeed sending her gifts. She had already made it clear to him that it was impossible between them, but Xiao Chang wouldn’t believe it; he thought it completely reasonable for a maid and a cook to be together. Na Na aimed to marry a wealthy man, so there was no way she could end up with a mere cook.

“Is that so?” Tan Rou said, “If that’s the case, then let’s go and confront Xiao Chang.”

Naturally, Na Na dare not face him. She leaned toward Zhuang Liu and then said, “Miss, it’s just a plate of pastries, is it really worth the time to confront him? If you go now, he will surely say you’re being petty, squabbling over just a dish of sweets.”

“Heh,” Tan Rou chuckled lightly, “You’re wrong. I’m not just going to settle accounts with him, I’m going to settle them with you too because you ate those pastries.”

Na Na looked down, very distressed, and said, “Miss, those pastries are too expensive, costing five thousand yuan a plate. I don’t have that much money to compensate you.” She turned to Mr. Zhuang and asked, “Mr. Zhuang, could you plead with Miss for me? I will definitely pay her back, but I don’t have that much money right now. Can I pay her back once I’ve gathered enough?”

Zhuang Liu did not respond to her, but instead found a place to sit down, “You continue, I’m tired from running, I need to rest a bit. Tan Rou, don’t you want to sit down? I find it quite tiring.”

Upon hearing Zhuang Liu’s words, Tan Rou realized she had been standing without knowing it and immediately sat down, “Na Na, right? If you sincerely admit your mistake today, I won’t trouble you nor ask you to compensate for it. But you’ve lied over and over again, and your actions have exhausted my patience. I can skip work today, let’s take the time to settle this matter properly.”

Mei Mei pleaded, “Miss, we both will compensate you for the money, but we don’t have that much on hand right now. Can we wait a while? We’re about to get paid, and once we have the money, we will transfer it to you immediately.”

“I don’t want your money,” Tan Rou refused Mei Mei’s suggestion, “The lazy person isn’t you, nor is it you who ate the pastries. I always stick to my principles. If it’s not your doing, I won’t trouble you.”

Mei Mei wanted to say something but was shut down by Zhuang Liu, who said, “Enough talk. If Miss hasn’t addressed you, don’t interrupt, or get out.”

Mei Mei didn’t dare speak further, she stealthily glanced at Tan Rou and then Na Na, and even though she was very anxious, she did not dare say another word.

Na Na was nearly on her knees for Tan Rou, “Miss, I really don’t have that much money. If you ask me to compensate now, I might as well die.”

Having said that, she was about to smash her head against the wall.

Tan Rou and Zhuang Liu remained unmoved, only Mei Mei ran over to stop her.

“Na Na, don’t do something foolish!” Mei Mei said, “It’s just five thousand yuan, I’ll help you pay it!”

Na Na sobbed, “Mei Mei, I really didn’t mean to eat the pastries on purpose. If that guy hadn’t sent them to me, how could I dare to eat them?”

Mei Mei said, “Na Na, I believe you. But Miss is right, let’s go confront Xiao Chang and ask him why he keeps sending you things. If Miss goes, she will surely intimidate him, and he won’t dare to hara.s.s you again.”

Na Na was left speechless. How could Mei Mei, her good friend for so many years, remain so clueless? Could she afford to confront Xiao Chang now? If she did, everything would be exposed.
