Chapter 16: Conflict In The Morning (1)
After meditation, Song Fan was completely awake. She walked into the bathroom, took a quick shower, and went to the cloakroom to get dressed.
Song Yin also got up at this time. She changed into sportswear and did yoga in the yard. At the same time, she called her English teacher to practice her oral English.
Fu Nian had always wanted to go abroad to study piano. She had to be prepared to go with him. If she had an accent, it would be a disgrace to Fu Nian.
Moreover, the place Song Yin chose was very obvious. Anyone who entered through the main door could see her. She did it to show her diligence.
The servants of the mansion, who were coming in and out, gathered together to discuss Song Yin.
"She is really hardworking. She's so rich and still studying hard."
"She is one of the top students in the school. She might go abroad to study in the future."
"Her English is really good. Unfortunately, I don't understand."
"If you don't know English, then Song Fan doesn't either."
A maid said proudly, but another maid immediately covered her mouth and said, "Stop it. Be careful not to let her find out."
"What are you afraid of?" The maid did not take it seriously at all. "She grew up in that poor place. She might not even finish high school. The Song family doesn't like her at all. They may send her back in a few days. There's no need for us to be so respectful to her."
All the other maids agreed with her.
The maid specially instructed the chef to make Song Yin's favorite dishes. As for Song Fan, she just needed to make two pieces of bread.
When Song Fan finished cleaning up and came downstairs to eat, she noticed the table was covered with dishes she did not like.
The maid said, "Miss, this is your breakfast."
After her statement, she pushed the two dry pieces of bread towards the center of the table, starkly contrasting the lavish dishes surrounding them. It was obvious that this was the servant's idea.
Song Fan did not even touch the two pieces of bread. She picked up the chopsticks and a bun. The maid quickly said, "That's not for you. That bun is for Miss Song Yin."
Song Fan took a bite of the bun and asked, "What if I want to eat it?"
She was speechless at such a small trick. She had to divide her and Song Yin's food for a meal. Did they think that this would make her feel wrong?
She could pick up whichever dish she wanted with her hands.
Song Fan's actions made the maids anxious. That was Song Yin's favorite steamed bun. What if Song Fan ate it all?
She could only put the bread before Song Fan and say, "Miss, this is your breakfast. Don't touch the other dishes."
Song Fan did not want to argue with her and just wanted to finish her meal and return to her room as soon as possible. She did not expect this maid to be so bold and directly bring the plate over for her to eat.
"I don't like bread." Song Fan pushed the plate away and said.
The maid saw that Song Fan showed no anger and thought that this country bumpkin did not dare to. She became even bold, "It's the rule in the family that you can't eat other people's breakfast. You'd better hurry up and take it."
She forcefully pushed the plate before Song Fan and reached out to take her chopsticks.
Song Fan hated it when others touched her things. She raised her hand to dodge and pushed the maid. The maid pounced in the direction she had just gone and almost fell.
The maid was completely furious. She roared at Song Fan, "You country bumpkin doesn't know the rules. That's her food, it's not for you. I've already prepared bread for you, so why must you eat buns? Don't tell me you've never seen bread before and don't know how to eat it?"
"You're the servant, and I'm the hostess. I can eat whatever I want." Song Fan emphasized this as she continued eating the buns.
The maid grabbed the steamer containing the buns and threw it on the ground. "Even if Miss doesn't eat it, it's not your turn to eat it."
Song Fan put down her chopsticks and slowly stood to walk toward the maid. Under her surprised gaze, Song Fan grabbed her hair. The maid cried out in pain from her scalp, and Song Fan threw her out of the dining room.
The maid slid seven to eight meters away. Although the tile floor was smooth and would not be scratched, the maid fell heavily.
She did not anticipate Song Fan's action. As the top maid in the Song family, she could not accept it. She thought that Song Fan was just a country bumpkin that the Song family would kick out in two days.
Song Fan should be treated respectfully and satisfy her desire to be superior to others.
