Chapter 6: It Was Hard to Earn money

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The butler felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He couldn’t handle it anymore. His heart went soft immediately after seeing the little girl’s face.

He was reminded of his own daughter when she back when she was just a little girl. She was just like this, finicky and beautiful. The way she spoke was like how a princess spoke.

Even the bodyguards and maids glanced at her a few more times.

This little girl was acting way too considerately.

Although there was little doubt that this entire fiasco was caused by her, and that she was at fault, they found it impossible to put the blame on her!

Instead, they wanted to kiss her chubby little cheeks!

Ah… They must’ve gone crazy!

Even the butler stopped being angry and waved his hand helplessly, letting them off.

And then, he personally sent the little girl to the mansion’s gate.

Lu Li naturally didn’t want to leave. She had lots of ways to stay behind in the compound. But she knew that if she lingered around, Uncle Butler and everyone else would be yelled at by daddy.

‘Hmph! Daddy is a bad daddy!’

Despite thinking that, the little girl still couldn’t help but look back after every step. Her reluctance and sad expression broke the old butler’s heart.

If it wasn’t for the Young Master’s hatred for children, he would’ve raised the little girl here in the mansion. This was simply because she was too pretty! Too cute!

They had reached the mansion’s main gate.

Suddenly, the butler’s phone began to vibrate.

Get her something to eat.

It was sent by Lu Junhan personally.

The butler was stunned.

He then remembered that the little girl did say that she hadn’t eaten anything for a long time. Even he had forgotten about it. Why and how did Young Master Lu remember it so clearly despite being so impatient with her?

And why did he deliberately send a message to remind him to feed her out of the blue?

“Uncle, can you…. Can you lend me some money?”

Lu Li’s lips were pursed as she fiddled with her tiny hands as if she was embarrassed for making such a request. With a tiny voice, she told him, “I’m very hungry, and I want to buy something to eat, but I don’t have any money…”

“…”

When the butler’s eyes looked into her innocent, clear eyes, he couldn’t help but hold his chest.

No! Too cute! It made him want to get another daughter!

“Well? Can I, Uncle?” When she realized how quiet the butler had become, she started to fear that he was going to turn her down. So, she raised her right palm in the air and swore, “While I don’t have any money now when I…when I earn money, I’ll give it back to uncle! I swear!”

She stood in the same spot. Seeing her raise her tiny little hand up in the air seemed extremely cute. 

The butler had fallen for her. He hurriedly ordered for a servant to fetch some food for the little girl. Since Young Master Lu had given the order, there was nothing to stop him from spoiling the little kid. 

Snacks, pastries, and drinks. Lu Li was given a large sack filled with such treats. 

But Lu Li didn’t want all of them. She simply took a bottle of water and one small slice of cake before giving everything back. She was afraid that she couldn’t pay them back if she took too much.

She heard that it was hard to earn money after all.

The butler didn’t force her to accept everything. Mainly because it was impossible for Lu Li to be able to haul such a heavy sack around alone. So, he let her eat more.

Since she was all wet, he also got a maid to help clean her up in a small building nearby.

“Uncle Liu,” that maid called out to the butler, “We don’t have any clothes that she could wear.”

Since Young Master Lu hated little children, they didn’t dare to bring their own children into the Lu Family mansion. In other words, they didn’t have spare children’s clothes lying around.

But buying new ones was impossible, as the banquet going to start soon.

The butler gave it some thought and told her, “Go and ask the young mistress. She should have it.”

She was Young Master Lu’s blood-related little sister, the second daughter of the Lu Family, Lu Anran. While she was already 22 years old, she had been staying here at the Lu Residence ever since she was a little girl. She should theoretically have some clothes for little girls.
