Chapter 868 Reason for Leaving

Uncle Chen came into the kitchen with an empty can. Zhou Xiaoying was taking dried fruits out of the bag. She was surprised to see Uncle Chen come in.

"Uncle Chen, weren't you already busy with your work? Why are you in the kitchen? Is there anything you need my help with?"

"It's nothing. Mu Bai just asked me to come over and get a jar. She said she wanted to take the dried fruits out of the bag and put them in the jar so that it would be convenient for her to take them when she wants to eat them."

"I see. I thought it was something else. I have the jar here. I'll give it to you later."

Zhou Xiaoying walked to the cupboard, opened it, took out a transparent glass jar and handed it to Butler Chen. "This jar is new and has never been used before. Mu Bai likes to eat dried fruits, so give her a new one."

"Auntie Zhou, you are too polite. In fact, you can just pick one. They are all used to store dried fruits anyway."

"That won't work. We have a lot of new jars at home anyway, and this jar was bought to hold things. It would be a waste to leave it there if it's not used. You can give it to Mu Bai."

"Okay then, thank you Aunt Zhou."

"It's okay, it's just a small matter, no need to be so polite, just give it to Mu Bai quickly, don't let her wait anxiously."

Butler Chen came out of the kitchen with a jar. Jiang Mubai saw Uncle Chen coming back so soon and said with a smile: "Uncle Chen, I thought you would have to wait a while before coming back. I didn't expect you to come back so soon."

"I was afraid you would get impatient waiting, so I hurried back. Aunt Zhou has already given me the jar. See if it's big enough. If not, I'll get another one from the kitchen."

"That's enough, this one jar is enough, thank you Uncle Chen."

Butler Chen put the jar on the table, and Jiang Mubai poured all the dried fruits in the bag into the jar. After she was done, she put the dried fruits aside. She planned to put the dried fruits on the coffee table later.

"Uncle Chen, have you tried dried fruits? Aunt Zhou brought a lot from home. They taste great. I think they are better than those bought outside."

"Really? Then I have to try it carefully. Aunt Zhou gave me my portion last night, but I haven't eaten it yet. I plan to eat it tonight."

"That's great. Uncle Chen, I suggest you drink tea and eat dried fruits at the same time. This will make you feel more comfortable, especially in the afternoon. After having afternoon tea and resting for a while, it will feel really comfortable."

Jiang Mubai closed her eyes as she spoke. She felt as if she was already in the afternoon tea time. She had to admit that this feeling was really wonderful.

"Hearing what you said, I can't wait until the afternoon, so that I can experience the feeling you described."

"Haha, Uncle Chen, if you want to experience it, you can do it now. It's still early anyway, so you might as well get ready now. I estimate that by the time you are ready, it will be almost afternoon."

"You are such a teasing girl. If I really listened to you and prepared the afternoon tea, then the others in the kitchen would definitely say I was lazy. I am the housekeeper, how can I be the leader in being lazy?"

"That's right, Uncle Chen, you are the housekeeper of our villa, how can you take the lead in being lazy? Look at me, I, the hostess, didn't say anything, and look at you, you actually want to be lazy, this is unacceptable."

Jiang Mubai deliberately looked at Butler Chen with a stern face. Butler Chen couldn't help laughing after seeing Jiang Mubai's pretending to be serious expression.

"You are getting more and more naughty, girl. How could I not know what you are thinking? You are just teasing me on purpose."

"You found me. I thought I could play for a while longer, but I didn't expect you to find me so soon."

"You are just like your father, very mischievous."

When Butler Chen said this, his tone was full of nostalgia, and it was unclear whether he was missing Jiang Mubai's father or someone else.

"Uncle Chen, did you have a good relationship with my dad before?"

"It's okay. We have known each other for more than 20 years. Do you think our relationship is good?"

"More than 20 years, that's a long time indeed. I thought you had an average relationship with my dad."

"How can it be just average? Your father is my boss. If the relationship between your father and I is really just average, would your father still hire me as a housekeeper?"

"That's right. My dad hates dealing with people he doesn't know the most. If it weren't for some reason, I guess my dad would never have made friends in his life."

"Your father is just too..."

Jiang Mubai was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting Uncle Chen to suddenly bring up this topic. She knew her father's character very well, he was withdrawn and suspicious, or to use the popular term, he was severely "socially anxious".

"My dad... is a little introverted, but he's a very nice guy." Jiang Mubai chose his words carefully, not wanting to comment too much about his father in front of outsiders.

Uncle Chen looked at her meaningfully, and finally sighed, "Yes, your father... is really good."

The atmosphere suddenly became a little heavy. Jiang Mubai felt a little uncomfortable. She stood up, walked to the window, looked at the carefully manicured garden outside, trying to break the suffocating silence.

"Uncle Chen, what do you think...what is the right thing for a person to do in life?" Jiang Mubai's voice was very soft, as if he was talking to himself, but also as if he was asking Uncle Chen.

Uncle Chen didn't answer immediately. He walked to Jiang Mubai and followed her gaze to look out the window. The sunlight was shining on the neatly trimmed lawn, reflecting a dazzling light.

"Miss, I can't give you an answer to this question. Everyone has their own way of living. Some people pursue fame and fortune, some pursue love, and some pursue a simple life. There is no right or wrong." Uncle Chen paused, his eyes deep, "Your father...he just chose the most difficult path."

"The most difficult road?" Jiang Mubai looked back at Uncle Chen in confusion, wanting to get more information about his father from him.

However, Uncle Chen just shook his head and said no more. He turned back to the table, picked up the teapot, and began to wash the tea set, as if the conversation just now was just an illusion.

Jiang Mubai was even more confused. She had a feeling that Uncle Chen seemed to know a lot of secrets about her father, but he was unwilling to tell her. Could it be that... there was another reason why her father left without saying goodbye?

Thinking of this, Jiang Mubai's heartbeat accelerated involuntarily. She walked to Uncle Chen and asked tentatively, "Uncle Chen, do you... know why my father left?"
