Am I destined to be cannon fodder? Unlock the system and lead the motherland

Chapter 4: The housekeeper shows off his power? The aunt appears
Yun Ximo entered the password quickly without any pause.

Almost at the same time, a payment success notification popped up on the cashier's computer screen, and the POS machine and cash register spit out the transaction receipt almost synchronously.

This scene shocked the shopping guide named Lu Fei who had previously mocked Yun Ximo. He was full of disbelief, his eyes fixed on the shopping bag in Xiao Zi's hand. His heart was bleeding and he was trembling with jealousy.

She was the one who originally received Yun Ximo! She should have been the one to get the order, too—those achievements should have been hers.

She was unwilling to give in, and her mood changed instantly. She put on a flattering smile and walked up to Yun Ximo: "Hello, Miss Yun, I'm a veteran employee here. My service is definitely better than Xiao Zi's. I'll handle the subsequent ordering services for you."

Hearing this, Xiao Zi frowned and her hands trembled slightly.

She was deeply afraid that this order would be snatched away. After all, she didn't get in through connections. The performance of this order was enough to support her performance target for the entire month. If she failed to complete this order, her salary would be deducted.

Yun Ximo took a quick glance, took out her cell phone from her pocket, and dialed a number slowly.

When the call was connected, her voice was calm, without a trace of impatience: "I want to complain. The professional quality of your store employees needs to be improved urgently."

Lu Fei was extremely shocked and couldn't believe what she saw - she actually dared to complain directly.

Lu Fei panicked and rushed towards Yun Ximo, shouting loudly: "Are you crazy?!"

Yun Ximo raised her eyes calmly, her eyes calm and composed.

"Lu Fei!" The store manager came over upon hearing the voice.

Yun Ximo raised her eyebrows slightly. The store manager appeared faster than she expected.

"Miss, I'm the store manager. I'm deeply sorry for the unpleasant shopping experience your employees have brought you. Our training was clearly inadequate... We will definitely strengthen our management to ensure similar issues don't happen again."

Lu Fei's face paled, her legs weakened, and she could barely stand. The fact that a single complaint had alarmed the store manager was a serious matter, as it meant she could lose her job, which paid over 30,000 yuan a month.

She hurriedly stumbled in front of Yun Ximo and humbly requested, "Miss Yun, I was blind. Please be magnanimous and don't bother with me."

Yun Ximo said expressionlessly: "Everyone must be responsible for their own words and actions."

Lu Fei collapsed to the ground, filled with despair and regret...

Eight o'clock in the evening.

Yun Ximo returned to the Yun family carrying two shopping bags.

At this moment, at the entrance of the villa, the girl took a quick look, freed her hands and rang the doorbell twice.

However, the door did not open immediately. She found a clean step without snow and sat down. She tilted her head, her eyes bright, and quietly admired the falling snowflakes.

On the way back, fine snowflakes began to float in the sky. She gazed out of the taxi window and felt that the dancing snowflakes seemed subtly different from the snowflakes she saw while sitting quietly at this moment.

Time passed quietly. Fifteen minutes later, the housekeeper finally opened the door and stopped her from entering.

His eyes were sharp and his tone was reproachful: "Miss, are you finally willing to go home?" The girl was thin, her long eyelashes were trembling, snowflakes were dotted in her hair, and her slender wrists were red from the cold.

Seeing this, the housekeeper frowned and thought to himself, "Serves you right."

He said in a deep voice: "Since the young lady has not returned home all night, you don't have to go home today."

"You should learn from the Second Young Miss." The housekeeper became excited when the Second Young Miss was mentioned. "Not only is the Second Young Miss an excellent student and a beautiful woman, she's also proficient in the zither. She's truly a combination of beauty and talent. And what about you?"

He changed the subject, his tone tinged with disdain, "Skipping classes, fighting, how can that be compared to the Second Young Lady? She's a disgrace to the Yun family."

The girl looked at the shopping bag in her hand that was covered with snowflakes, shook the bag lightly, and watched the snowflakes fall slowly, looking nonchalant.

Her delicate eyebrows were slightly lowered, and her eyes were calm, as if the accusations had nothing to do with her, without any emotional fluctuations.

She sneered in her heart, as if these words made her worthless.

After saying that, the butler made a gesture for the guest to leave, with a mocking look on his face, even mixed with a bit of impatience.

In his opinion, this young lady always caused troubles, and this time he wanted to make her suffer a little. How long could she last in this snow?

However, Yun Ximo didn't look at the housekeeper, patted the snowflakes off her body, and walked straight into the door.

This was completely beyond the butler's expectations. He was stunned for a moment and quickly reached out to stop Yun Ximo. This young lady always obeyed orders and never disobeyed in the past. How could she be so bold today?

The housekeeper's face darkened. "This is Madam's order. The young lady has made a mistake. Don't enter until you admit your mistake."

Looking at the girl in front of him who had no good family background or upbringing.

The housekeeper's impatience grew even more, and he said unhappily: "Miss, with your attitude, if you refuse to admit your mistake, you cannot enter..." However, before he finished his words.

The words stopped abruptly, and Yun Ximo suddenly stretched out her hand and tightly grasped his collar. Her slender and white fingers exerted a little force, and in an instant, a strong feeling of suffocation spread from the butler's neck, forcing him to bend down involuntarily. His heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand, and he had to look up and look directly into her eyes that were as starry as the night.

A smile suddenly appeared on Yun Ximo's lips. Instead of relaxing the strength in her hands, she asked more slowly and deliberately: "You are so nagging." The housekeeper's face quickly turned red due to suffocation, and he looked extremely embarrassed.

However, Yun Ximo suddenly loosened her grip on his neck and straightened his collar. Her voice was gentle, as if everything that had just happened was just a harmless joke: "I was just joking. What are you afraid of?"

Her actions seemed gentle, but they set off alarm bells in the housekeeper's heart, and fear surged like a tide.

The butler covered his neck in panic, gasping for breath, and looked at Xiang Yunximo with disbelief and fear in his eyes.

Yun Ximo pushed him aside and turned to go in.

The warm air in the living room contrasts sharply with the cold outside.

A noble lady sat on the sofa, her posture noble and even the subtle movements of drinking tea revealed the heritage of a prominent family. This person was Madam Yun, Shu Manli.

Time seemed to be particularly kind to her, leaving no traces of time on her face.

On the contrary, time seemed to have left its mark on her, making her even more gentle and graceful. Her eyebrows were slightly raised, and the fine lines were picturesque, just like willow branches extending from the eyes of a willow leaf, those graceful branches swaying gently in the wind, with countless postures.

The footsteps stopped, but Shu Manli did not look up immediately. She opened her red lips in a calm and indifferent tone: "Did you admit it wrongly? "Why did you come back just now?" Her tone was dissatisfied.

When she didn't get a response from the girl, Shu Manli raised her head, her eyebrows slightly frowned, and there was no expression on her well-maintained face. "Where have you been?" Her tone was much harsher than before.

Shu Manli suppressed her displeasure and asked, "Yesterday, you didn't come home all day. What on earth did you do?"
