Chapter 31 chapter eight

On the fourth day after receiving the threatening letter, it was a lonely and restless afternoon.The half-inch dictator went out to visit a relative, and only Miss Miao was left at home.There was a burst of phone ringing from the distance, piercing into the ears of Miss Miao who was sitting silently and worried.Recently, she has been afraid of listening to the ringing of the phone. Every time she hears this sound, she wonders what the worst news has been brought from the wire.Therefore, hearing the bell made her heart beat wildly.But this time, after she heard the bell, she didn't see the maids come in to ask her to answer the phone.

After a long pause, she saw the summer screen door slightly opened, and there was a tall figure in a short coat standing inside the door. This was the new driver. It's been less than half a month since this chauffeur entered the gate of Guo's house.Ms. Miao had quite a strange impression of this new driver.According to the rules, a driver always has the usual attitude of a driver, which will be revealed spontaneously and unconsciously; but this man had none at all.He has bright, calm eyes and a well-shaped nose.His thin, angular lips seemed to be very good at talking; but all day long, he didn't hear what he said.From the general impression, this man is not like a driver, but a bit like a scholar.In some places, he also has the bearing of a Chinese gentleman.In short, she didn't like this man very much.All she knew was that this man was a substitute for the original driver.Here he is, serving only for a short period of twenty days or a month.His name is Ada.

At this time, Ada was standing inside the door, looking at Miss Miao with burning eyes, and Miss Miao also stared at him blankly.She didn't know what happened to him walking in for no reason. "Young Mistress, someone called you, and that guy called himself Cheng, He Pang Cheng." The driver Ada reported to her in a respectful voice.She was taken aback by the annoying word "Cheng", and just as her heart was beating, she heard Ada go on quietly: "I have reported to him: 'Young Mistress is not at home.'" She immediately felt relieved.But she was also a little angry, she thought: a servant, with such a big claim, dares to return the call on behalf of the master.At that time, she hadn't expressed this meaning on her face—in fact, Ada didn't wait for her to have the opportunity to express this meaning, but had already said one after another: "I'm sorry! I scolded this guy severely. Because His tone to young mistress is very unreasonable."

Ms. Miao's face was full of panic.She knew that the person scolded was Cheng Liben, the scoundrel who wrote the letter.She didn't know how the driver offended him?Especially worried about how the villain will react to himself after being offended?She was momentarily speechless.However, she looked at this self-made chauffeur, and saw that he had a serious face, calm eyes, and no expression at all; especially his tone seemed very natural, it was not like a servant talking to his master, but like talking to a The most familiar friends are chatting without restraint. This attitude aroused Miss Miao's apparent surprise.

After Ada finished reporting the above-mentioned incident, he seemed to be waiting for the mistress' fate.But Ms. Miao was hindered by her thoughts and still did not speak immediately. During this moment of contemplation, Ada thought for a while, and suddenly asked calmly: "I guess, the young mistress must be afraid of seeing this person surnamed Cheng, isn't she?" His deviant and rash words quickly brought up Miss Miao's hidden anger.She said sharply: "Hey! You..." She was going to say: "You dare to interfere in my affairs!" But somehow, under the cold and terrible attitude of the driver, she changed the original sentence. Became the following way: "Hey! How do you know I'm afraid to meet this person?"

"Probably so!" Ada's tone was as firm as a piece of iron, and he was never shaken by his master's anger. "That's not something you should ask." Her anger added to the fire.She suspected that the new driver had discovered her secret from the phone.She also wondered who the driver was instigated to spy on her.Because of this, when she spoke, her complexion changed, and her voice became heavier. However, Ada, the driver, would never affect his composure just because of the change of color of his master. He said stubbornly to himself: "I know, young mistress is not only afraid of this person surnamed Cheng, but also knows that you have been doing something lately. There is a very important thing on my mind.” ——He referred to the other party as “you” for short, and sometimes almost lost the three characters of “young mistress”.

"Hurry up and get out!" Ms. Miao felt that the driver's tone was becoming more and more outrageous.Her voice trembled with rage and she could not speak.With trembling fingers, she pointed to the screen door. Ada bowed slightly, and he accepted the order with a polite gesture.He was about to turn around and walk out.But he held the handle of the door, turned around and said, "Young Mistress, I know about your business, and I need someone to help you..." He pointed to his own nose, "Maybe, I——I can help you. But you don't." The driver's voice sounded like an organ pressing on the same key. Although there was no fluctuation in the voice, it revealed earnestness in its calmness.Regardless of whether his words are reliable or not, just look at his demeanor, as if he has a kind of power, he can control the other party's emotions, and at the same time express the sincerity in his heart.

The room was silent for a while. Ada waited for a while, then quietly turned around while the other party bowed his head in silence. Ms. Miao watched the screen door close gently.She heard the heavy footsteps and walked slowly into the corridor. "Ada!" she shouted unexpectedly. "What's the matter? Young Mistress!" The tall figure, with a calm and strange face, repeatedly appeared at the door.
