Tomb Raider: Nine Gates Let Me Be the Group’s Pet

"How do you do things! I hate the taste of strawberries! Don't you know that if I don't eat them? Take it away from me!"

After Xie Rong got up, she found strawberry soft cake for breakfast. She was so angry that she overturned the table and slapped Xiaoqi, the servant who brought her breakfast, in the face.

"Sorry... Miss Jie Er, we didn't know about this."

Xiaoqi quickly cleaned up the mess on the ground, not even bothering to take care of her swollen cheek.

"Don't let me see strawberries again, you hear me!"

"Yes."

"Also! Call me Young Madam."

"This……"

"What's this? The Buddha said that my husband also called him brother in the past!" Xie Rong attached great importance to the way the servants in the Zhang's house addressed her.

"But..." Xiaoqi hesitated and didn't dare to speak.

"Scream!" Xie Rong angrily pinched Xiaoqi's face with one hand and asked her to speak.

"Scream!" Seeing that she didn't say anything, he pinched her face and shook it.

"Forget it, get out. I'm annoyed when I see you." Seeing that Xiaoqi still didn't say anything, Jie Rong angrily asked her to leave.

Xiaoqi took the packed things and went back to the kitchen. After putting the things down, she hid herself and started crying.

"Xiao Qi? What's wrong with you?"

Xiaoqing, who had always been with Zhang Zixi, heard her crying and came to comfort her.

“Sister Xiaoqing… wuwu… it’s okay… it’s okay…” Xiaoqi wiped her tears and said that she was fine.

"What do you mean it's okay? Who hit you in the face?" Xiao Qing asked worriedly when she saw her swollen face.

"Yes...it's that Second Miss Jie..."

"Why did she hit you?"

"She said she didn't like strawberries and asked me not to let her see strawberries anymore."

"That's ridiculous! You can't hit people. Besides, my daughter likes strawberries. She will see them many times in the future!"

"She is so annoying. Not only did she snatch Adjutant Zhang away, but now she is bullying others. Come on, I'll take you to seek justice from the young lady!" Xiao Qing was indignant and was about to take Xiao Qi to find Zhang Zixi.

Zhang Zixi was playing the piano in the room at this time, so the two waited outside the door for a while.

"Forget it, Sister Xiaoqing... I... I'd better not trouble the young lady..."

"Oh, what are you afraid of? The lady is a very nice person. She will definitely help us." Xiao Qing comforted.

"Miss, look! That annoying Miss Jie is always bullying people. She hit Xiaoqi's face like this!" After getting permission, Xiaoqing pulled Xiaoqi into Zhang Zixi's room and told her the whole story.

"Did she hit you?" Zhang Zixi asked with concern as she looked at Xiaoqi's swollen face.

Xiao Qi nodded, not daring to look at Zhang Zhixi. She had just arrived at the Zhang residence not long ago, and had heard that Master Zhang loved his sister very much, so she was very careful with him, but she had never known Zhang Zhixi herself.

"Let me apply some medicine for you first." Zhang Zixi asked them to sit down, she stood up to get the medicine box, and gently applied medicine to Xiaoqi.

"I'll go find her later and help you get justice. If she embarrasses you again in the future, come to me." Zhang Zixi gently applied medicine to Xiaoqi while comforting her.

"Okay, take this ointment. Apply some after washing your face with warm water at night." After applying the medicine for the person, Zhang Zixi packed up the medicine box, took out the ointment and handed it to Xiaoqi.

"Thank...thank you, Miss."

"You're welcome. If it still hurts, you can rest more. There's no need to rush into anything."

"I'm going to find her now and get an explanation for you." After saying this, Zhang Zixi walked out of the room to find Jie Rong.

"Sister Xiaoqing..." Xiaoqi said as she looked at Zhang Yuxuan's receding back.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"Miss...you are so nice..."

"Really? I told you, the young lady is the best! She is gentle and polite to everyone. And she is very capable, very good at martial arts, very smart, and knows music. She is also beautiful and has a good family background. As for me... I dream of becoming a person like that..." Xiaoqing thought of Zhang Yuxuan with longing.

"Yes! She is the best person I have ever seen in all the homes I have stayed in!" Xiao Qi also smiled at her affirmatively.
