Chapter 1070: Can’t Turn Your Back on Someone Like That
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Three years ago, after the kidnapping of Jian Yiling to the time she left Beijing, Wen Nuan brewed soup for Jian Yiling and Jian Yunmo every single day.
During that time, her skills had improved a lot.
However, Jian Yunmo drank most of the soup. On rare occasions when the soup was tasty, Jian Yunmo would offer the soup to his sister.
And thus, it was a good signal for Jian Yiling to ask her mother to brew her some soup. In a sense, she was trying to reconcile with the past.
Zhai Yunsheng gently embraced Jian Yiling in his arms. He gave her the silent comfort and encouragement that she needed.

Cai Qinyue rushed back to the Goodman Residence on the outskirts of Beijing.
As soon as she entered, she saw Elder George.
He gave off a majestic and cold aura that made Cai Qinyue scared for her life.
At the same time, Lucy came down from upstairs.
“Elder, what’s going on?” Lucy asked. She acted as though she had no knowledge of what just happened in Jian Yiling’s stream.
“Just now, she went to go cause trouble for Young Master Zhai and his fiancee. Do you really not know about this?” Elder George questioned Lucy again.
“I don’t know about this,” Lucy answered. “She’s relatives with Young Master Zhai’s fiancee right? If that’s the case, it would be normal for her to visit her, no?”
“Relatives? More like there’s a lot of conflict between them.”
Lucy: “Then… Do you want me to…?”
“If you keep this person by your side, aren’t you giving off the impression that you want to be on the bad side of the Zhai family?”
“I didn’t think of it in that way. I hired her because I didn’t know much about Beijing’s customs and culture. I wanted her to give me some advice.”
“Well if that’s the case, from today onwards, you will no longer have an employer-employee relationship. Do not have any more contact with her,” Elder George ordered.
Upon hearing this, Cai Qinyue cast a pleading look at Lucy.
“Okay,” Lucy agreed.
Cai Qinyue began to become desperate: “Miss Lucy, you can’t do this to me. I was following your orders. I didn’t do anything wrong.”
“What are you talking about? You went to deal with your private matters today. It has nothing to do with me,” Lucy calmly stated.
Cai Qinyue’s face became pale as she stammered: “No… Miss Lucy… You clearly said…”
Before she finished her sentence, Cai Qinyue realized that she had been abandoned by Lucy.
Cai Qinyue hurriedly turned around to look at Elder George: “Mr. George, I didn’t do anything wrong! I followed Miss Lucy’s instructions! Please believe me!”
However, Elder George merely looked at Cai Qinyue coldly. He did not give her a chance to explain further.
“Kick her out.”
Elder George ordered the security guards.
Cai Qinyue continued to plead for Lucy’s help. However, Lucy did not even look at her.
Originally, Cai Qinyue assumed that the Goodman family would be her safe haven. However, she didn’t expect that she would be kicked away so quickly.

At this moment, Cai Qinyue’s heart was filled with fear. If she lost the support of Lucy, what would she be facing in the future?
To make matters worse, she just pissed off Zhai Yunsheng!
“Miss Lucy, you can’t do this to me! I was merely following your instructions! If you didn’t give me those instructions, I wouldn’t have dared to go after Zhai Yunsheng and Jian Yiling! You can’t turn your back on me like this!”
As Cai Qinyue was dragged away by the security guards, her voice became quieter and quieter.
Lucy did not dare to look at Elder George.
“Didn’t you say that what she did had nothing to do with you?” Elder George questioned again.
