The main building didn’t occupy a large area, mostly filled with trees and flower beds. Without the Western-style house and greenhouse, she would have thought she had arrived in some remote wilderness.
She slowly walked towards the house, and a colorful Christmas tree stood at the entrance.
Wait! Something’s not right! Yuan Xingcan paused. That’s not a Christmas tree, it’s a person!
A short, plump woman wearing heavy, exaggerated makeup!
Because her makeup was so thick, she couldn’t discern her facial expression, but from her gesturing hand movements, she seemed to be approaching with goodwill.
“Miss Yuan?” Her voice was as exaggerated and sharp as her appearance, “The new home tutor?”
“Yes, I am,” she quickly responded, her luggage already taken from her hands.
“The eleventh one!” She flashed an exaggerated smile, making an eleven gesture, and giggled, “But you’re different from the others.”
She looked Yuan Xingcan over carefully, “You don’t look like a teacher.”
Yuan Xingcan muttered internally, Good eye, I’m not a teacher at all! Oh my, eleven? What a terrifying number!
“You’ve finally arrived, I’ve been waiting for so long!” She said enthusiastically, “I’ve prepared your room. Do you like pink?”
“Mm, I quite like it,” Yuan Xingcan decided within three seconds that this friendly, warm-hearted girl was probably a servant of the Ke family.
Although her oversized three-colored shirt shouldn’t be paired with a red lotus skirt, and there was no need for thermal pants underneath, the red sandals were a bit eye-catching. Her unevenly applied blue nail polish made her nails look dirty, not to mention her makeup that resembled a painter’s palette.
But she felt a sense of intimacy from the other’s friendly smile and didn’t find the girl unpleasant.

She didn’t know if this was normal, but in movies, aren’t big shots supposed to be sitting with their legs crossed, reading the newspaper, waiting for the servant to bring a lavish breakfast to them?
