Peach-Orange! – Chapter 471 – The Head Maid Makes Her Official Appearance

Su Tao’s inner turmoil had originally subsided.

But after hearing Si Chen’s words and learning that the fake girlfriend was indeed Qian Qing, she couldn’t help but recall Luo Ying’s words.

—Chi Xiaocheng is lying to you; she has already fallen for Dongfang Yang.

—To cut ties with you, to “treat” you, to continue being with Dongfang Yang, she will find someone familiar to put on another act, making you think she still likes you.

How similar was this current situation?

Su Tao also didn’t understand. Now that she and Xiaocheng were even wearing matching couple’s formal wear, and Xiaocheng truly did like her.

So why did such thoughts still arise inexplicably from the depths of her heart?

It was as if Xiaocheng would drift further and further away.

Just then, the guests by the door suddenly let out another wave of astonishment.

The sound wasn’t loud, but the shock in their tones made it clear that the newcomer must be someone of significant importance.

Even people from small local families in Jiuzhou City and those who had come from out of town were all looking bewildered at the three people entering through the door.

The person leading the front was wearing a maid uniform specially made in England, her short hair tied into a ponytail, her appearance elegant and her steps dignified.

Behind her were two people wearing sunglasses: one looked serious and was very tall and strong; the other had a bit of a rogue air about him and seemed somewhat arrogant from the way he walked.

But it wasn’t hard to tell that these two were bodyguards for the maid in front.

Not only Chi Xiaocheng and Su Tao, but even some confused onlookers felt puzzled, “She’s just a maid, is such a grand entrance necessary? Rather, should someone like her even be allowed to walk into such an occasion?”

This person voiced the thoughts of many.

However, upon closer inspection, one would notice that those more distinguished-looking unfamiliar faces, who seemed to have come specifically from the capital to attend the banquet, had expressions that had more or less changed.

It wasn’t that they had become serious or dangerous.

Apart from a trace of surprise, there was more of a fawning, obsequious flattery.

Even Dongfang Wen, seated in the place of honor, stood up.

“Miss Song, what brings you here?”

As these words were spoken, the people below were even more shocked.

What kind of maid could make Dongfang Wen treat her with such enthusiasm!

Chi Xiaocheng was also puzzled.

Until the maid’s scanning gaze suddenly stopped on her.

In that instant, the system issued a notification.

[Character Song Liyin generated extremely high emotion towards the host, emotion value +9]

Hearing the prompt, Chi Xiaocheng finally understood why Si Chen’s expression had become somewhat serious when this maid entered.

Song Liyin… she had seen content about this character’s appearance in the original novel.

This was the personal head maid of that rich female character who dropped from the sky!

Chi Xiaocheng quickly ran through the plot content related to this head maid that she had seen before.

Since she hadn’t read the later parts, there was very little information about this character.

Initially, it was because she saw those strange titles and thought something had happened to Su Tao in the original novel. Out of curiosity and displeasure, she was tricked out of her emotion points.

Only then did she notice this character named Song Liyin.

She was the head maid, utterly loyal to that young lady, and a woman with high intelligence, extremely skilled at driving away tigers and swallowing wolves. ¹ Basically using others to fight for you

The thing Chi Xiaocheng remembered most vividly was that this woman hid two guns under her skirt. If you really provoked her, she would genuinely pull them out from there!

Additionally, her bottom line was that young lady.

As for more specific details, there was no information.

Chi Xiaocheng currently had just over 3000 emotion points; buying the later plot of the original novel would be extremely difficult for her.

So why was this head maid here?

And she had just fixed her gaze on her?

Chi Xiaocheng was puzzled, but Song Liyin had already started conversing with Dongfang Wen. It was too far for Chi Xiaocheng to hear clearly.

But Xiao Hei had already appeared beside Song Liyin to act as an earpiece.

After listening in on the conversion, Chi Xiaocheng realized she was here on behalf of the young lady to congratulate Dongfang Yang on finding a girlfriend.

After all, the Dongfang family was one of the top prominent clans in the capital, so using this as an excuse to build connections did seem fitting.

At least, that was what she said to Dongfang Wen.

Chi Xiaocheng knew her purpose couldn’t be that simple.

However, this person did give her quite a lot of emotion points.

Chi Xiaocheng rubbed her chin; she had fully figured out how emotion value acquisition from characters worked.

Often, the emotion value gained during the first meeting wasn’t very high.

Getting over ten points was already considered high.

But after becoming somewhat familiar with the person and starting to affect their emotions in daily life, the amount of emotion value that could be gained afterwards would greatly increase.

For example, with Dongfang Yang, initially, not much emotion value could be squeezed out of him.

Now, she could steadily get two hundred points per day from him.

Looking at the calmly talking Song Liyin, Chi Xiaocheng couldn’t help but think of Su Tao, who had been interfered with by the World Will.

So she leaned closer to Su Tao and asked quietly, “Tao-Tao, what do you think of that maid?”

“What do you mean, what do I think?” Su Tao looked at Chi Xiaocheng, puzzled.

Chi Xiaocheng said, “I mean your first impression of her. What kind of person do you think she is?”

Su Tao rubbed her chin, cast her gaze towards Song Liyin, and without overthinking it, said, “She seems pretty good, right? A very elegant and dignified maid sister. If I must say, she is my ideal type.”

Upon hearing this, Chi Xiaocheng’s eyes widened, “Ideal type?!”

“I mean,” Su Tao hurriedly explained, “she’s the type of person I aspire to become, not the maid profession itself, but the kind of elegance she carries.”

“So that’s what you meant.” Chi Xiaocheng had thought Su Tao liked people like the head maid.

So she continued asking, “So that means Tao-Tao’s first impression is that you don’t dislike her?”

“I don’t even know her, why would I dislike her?” Su Tao said, then added, “To be honest, not only do I not dislike her, I even faintly feel a kind of indescribable sense of familiarity.”

Chi Xiaocheng nodded faintly.

Confirmed.

This head maid was definitely here with some kind of instruction or idea from the World Will.

She might even be deeply influenced by the World Will.

Precisely because of this, Su Tao, who was affected, could sense that indescribable feeling of familiarity from her.

What about Si Chen then?

Chi Xiaocheng tapped the heel of Si Chen’s shoe with the tip of her own little leather shoe.

The latter glanced back at her.

“My first impression of this woman is that she’s a bit off. Maybe it’s because I’ve been investigating her, so I have a preconceived mindset.

“Or it could be because I just broke free from that state, so I can sense that this maid carries a smell I dislike.”

Si Chen still narrowed his eyes, his gaze behind the glasses constantly scanning over Song Liyin like a venomous snake.

As for Su Tao, she found this exchange between Chi Xiaocheng and Si Chen strange.

That indescribable sense of incongruity was back again.

Xiaocheng, just like before, had even teamed up with Si Chen to hide certain things from her.
