Chapter 64 Um, I think We Broke Him! by Harem-Fan
Sunday officially came, and the three of us had awakened to the smell of breakfast, reminding us that the woman who showed up on my doorstep out of the blue was here to stay.
Mei Xia had gotten me to make a schedule, food-preferences, clothing, entertainment, and shopping preferences to best smoothly do her job.
She was so efficient, we actually did not even notice her presence as much as you would think. She does not eat with us, like servants in noble houses do and she tries to not even be around to bother our alone time.
-
At noon in the garage...
When I told Mei about what Nichole suggested to do with the picture, she shook her head and told me.
"Nichole is not wrong, but if you get the young lady from Lang involved and someone finds out she was toying with her future fiancee, it would not be good for her. As for Scott being stupid, well you should know him the most. No both you and I have the skill and weapons to defend ourselves. Don't shy away from this and see it as facing insecurity."
While working on Hana's sports car, I look at Mei and ask.
"What do you mean by insecurities."
She hands me a towel to wipe off the grease from my hands, and she says honestly.
"Wanting Scott to suffer is very normal and it is to vent your past abuses. But don't let it consume you and turn you into him. You have claimed many things from him at this point, and further revenge is alright, but... Don't obsess about it. Don't make it your life goal. Just let it happen organically and you will feel better in your heart, I promise."
I think this is what I have been missing these past months, someone to point out my actions. Yeah, I think I have put a bit of effort in, more than Scott deserves. I think about it and tell her.
"You're right. I was going to be like Scott... I would only end up getting a high from his misery and be like him and what he did to you, right?"
She smiled brightly and nodded her head.
"It is a slippery slope and in your attempt to one up your own last prank, you would even make me have real sex for pictures to send to him, more intimate ones like your dick-pic, then you would become Scott. I am not saying don't make him suffer, lord knows he deserves it, but do it without trying. Just tastefully flaunt me around and that's it, nothing over the top, but it will be enough I promise."
I close up the hood and pick up the tools. I needed the car ready for race night for my Hana. I then ended my talk with my maid and told her.
"Alright, then we will follow your plan and you will drive me to and from University, and on days I don't have lunch plans you can get me."
-
Nothing out of the ordinary really happened, but the usual race and make-out night with Hana. Then it was time for University again...
-
At Star University the next morning, both Mei and I get out of her car and the two of us head into the main administration building to get special plate registration to freely park in student parking. I already called Dean Chang, my father-in-law, to drop by.
As we walk I ask my new maid.
"Mei, why are you following behind like that, it seems strange to me."
I hear her giggling at my feeling strange, but she points out.
"Have you ever noticed that Jennifer Han always walks a bit behind her young lady Tina Feng? All proper servants do this. You may not be on paper an official Tang, but you need to start acting with dignity and getting used to this small thing as a part of it. Oh and great job on that Debby Tang. I was very impressed how you handled her, she was a pain in my ass."
Soon the two of us had met with my father and received the plate tags. I introduced my new maid because he will see her in the future and on campus.
Finally I put on the parking stickers he gave me onto her plates and she saw me off to class.

As I was entering my business Micro/Macroeconomics class, I had thought I outsmarted the let's wear white crowd!
My face twitched when I saw Linda, Tina, and Victoria all wearing dark almost black clothing like my dark-grey suit. I look to see my buddy James at the table sad wearing white, oh that's funny!
As I had entered, I passed my table and waved to both James and Linda, who know I am grabbing the attendance sheet.
Passing the middle area I waved to both Tina and Jenifer who like Tina is wearing a charcoal black outfit.
I actually have the sneaking suspicion the girls are coordinating behind my back, but I think I might be just a tad narcissistic if I think like this. Okay, next Monday I will wear green to test my theory!
Passing the front table I see both Ashley and Scott at their front spot watching me with different levels of emotion.
I nod to Ashley in a classmate fashion and ignore the sullen looking Scott that looks like he finally got some sleep. She looked surprised I acknowledged her, but to be honest, it was for Victoria, I think?
Victoria greeted me as I got the form from her, and I think she saw me acknowledge her niece and she said to me.
"Mr Lee, good to see you this morning. I hope your weekend was fine?"
I just smile and say back.
"My weekend was a bit crazy actually. I seem to attract trouble, so let me take care of this."
Just as I turned she pushed up her glasses and told me like it was nothing.
"Not sure if your wives told you, but I bumped into them on Saturday afternoon and we had a chat. I upgraded their one year passes to the Black Level for the normal price if that is fine. Also, I explained to them our class agreement on Fridays together and they are fine with it."
I just look at her serious face and am not sure how to really respond. No, my wives never mentioned it, but they don't need to tell me everything. I nodded to her and said.
"Teacher Long, then thanks for the upgrade, they really love your business."
After I walked away I never noticed one of her lips curled into the slightest of smiles at my acceptance of her words.
Just as I was walking past Tina's table she pulled me to her on the edge of the desk to whisper in my ear.
"Wednesday night, I need to travel north to North City to inspect the Fire Birds headquarters there. It was the one belonging to that guy I killed in the meeting. Can you guard me that night? After University of course."
I whispered back into her ear.
"You can count on me for that then, also, I need to tell you about a new maid I hired, but it's complicated to talk now."
Her gold-eyes looked at me in surprise and then seemed intrigued at my strange smile, but I ignored her curiosity and sat in my seat. Well I got work to do on Wednesday so let's see what that brings.
As I sat, Linda said softly.
"Good morning Rick, how was your weekend?"
Before I could answer her, my buddy James patted my shoulder and said in excitement.
"Fuck man, did you see the new substitute computer teacher who is temporarily covering our class?"
I pushed the horn-dogs arm from my shoulder and pointed to my sheet and said.
"I have to do this, and you interrupted Linda, sorry Linda, yes I guess it was okay but as soon as I left your house my whole weekend was in chaos, sigh."
James said a bit too loud.
"Wait! You went to Linda's house?!"
Linda seeing others look over at the stupid best friend, seems to have made her blush ever so slightly.
Smack! I hit James over the head with my sheet, for causing issues as the teacher was getting ready for the start of the lecture. He stuck out his tongue knowing he goofed. But the bastard just winked.
As I was going to get up to drop off the list of attendance students, Cat Woo asked me.
"Rick Lee, do you know anything about the vandalism of Steve's car?"
Okay first... I wore gloves when I let out the tires air, and second, and Acting Basic went on full blast as I questioned.
"Cat Woo, I don't even know what kind of car your husband has, did he get his windshield scratched or something?"
My skill worked on this woman because I saw her consider the fact, I should not have ever seen his car. So her husband must have just blamed me. She only shook her head at my performance, but in my heart, I fucking forgot I did that!
I went to drop off the sheet, but when I was almost at my desk, a woman's voice from the exit of the room was heard.
With a charming foreign-accent, the maid at the door with eyes of mischief was waving me over to her like I forgot something and she loudly said.
"My Master Lee, you dropped your wallet in my car, Ufufu. You're so lucky I saw it and I brought it to you,. Oh is your class started already? Oops sorry sorry!"
No, damn, she picked my pockets?! Her Thief skill is probably at an Advanced level for her to pick my pocket, and it was in my front-left pocket too! She only grins at my eye-twitch.
Victoria, who was about to start talking, looked at the woman in maid's clothing waving a wallet with a happy-smile on her face, just looking in confusion.
Those in the room that know Mei Xia... Linda, Tina, Jenifer, and especially the slack-jawed Scott are just seeing a ghost in the middle of the day!
Mei then put my stolen wallet in my hand and whispered.
"Don't thank me, I told you I would help, right? Now I have to vanish, see you at lunch Rick."
Then she waved goodbye to me cheerfully and in a normal voice.
"I will pick you up later Master Rick, fufu, Oh and hello Miss Lang, and Miss Feng, bye!"
Seeing Scott about to move, she quickly left the class...
"MEI XIA, WAIT!"
Bang! Scott's chair hit the ground as he shot up and ran after the woman he longed for. Yes even though he got the shaft, cough, his twisted-love was still a kind of love.
I stepped out of the way of the raging-bull seeing red! I think how sneaky Mei was there and understood why she said the picture ahead of time was not as good.
And the most amazing part, I don't look like the bad guy here. I guess this spy knows how to control a room, and I will hopefully learn something from her. I then sat down as Linda looked at me with real-expression. Her face was not her indifferent face but one of disbelief, she then asked.
"W-Was that really Mei Xia? She seemed happy?"
Tina looked at me trying to figure out how I made this happen. When she got up today, this was the absolutely last thing she expected!
-
Scott had just ran into the hall looking left and right, and there was no way she could have left! The stairs are down at the far end of the hall and the elevators on the far other end. All classroom-doors are shut and other than a couple of trash cans and vending-machines there is nothing blocking his view.
"Mei! Mei stop hiding dammit! I saw you and I demand you show yourself damn it!"
With no response, Scott remembered she talked to me!
-
"W-Was that really Mei Xia? She seemed happy?"
"Yes, she needed a job, so I hired her."
"No, she was deported as a spy! I am not crazy, I know she was."
I am enjoying the expressions on her face right now. I have not really seen this since before my parents passed. Too bad it's not joy or a smile.
Everyone's listening to Scott yelling for his ex-maid.
As Scott came into the room he came straight to me, but stopped when he saw my hand in my jacket with a look of 'Make My Day' on it.
"What are you doing Rick Lee? How is Mei back, goddammit, you tricked me! Make her come here now! No she was deported, did you fake it, that's right it's all fake! you bastard, you took my maid, now give her back!"
While Scott is losing it, I just act innocent like I did nothing. I shrugged and said loud enough for others to hear.
"No, she is my maid, I hired her when she asked for a job, so I gave her a job, and she is a really good maid."
Just as Scott was going to continue his tirade, Victoria raised her voice and said.
"Rick Lee and Scott Tang, the both of you need to leave my class for today, I will not take this childish behavior. Come back tomorrow when you're ready to learn! And Mr Lee come here before you leave!"
Scott actually stomped to get his things and I could have sworn he may have almost shed a tear, damn he is a wreck! Anyway I made it to the angry looking Victoria and she whispered.
"Sorry Mr Lee, I do not want to kick you out, but I must be impartial, plus you know the work, I am sorry."
I shake my head and quietly say.
"No, I am definitely at fault here, my maid was causing a ruckus so I am responsible for her. See you tomorrow Teacher Long!"
I see in her purple-eyes she does not want to send me away knowing it is Scott, but the Tang might have issues if only he is removed for a class.
Scott already ran out of the class searching for Mei like an idiot. She can see his phone coming and avoid him.
James gave me a thumbs-up as I packed, Linda looked sad, and Tina looked confused and amused.
As I left, I closed the door.
-
Looking around, it seems Scott has run downstairs already.
"Well crap, now I am kicked out and have no car. Guess I will sit under a tree."
Giggling! And from behind the Coke machine, I heard evil-female laughter at my words. Yeah with her accent it's none-other than Mei!
She slipped out of the narrow back and dusted off the bit of dirt from the back of the machine, she smirked at me and said.
"That trick let me get the drop on some killers after me in the past, the advantage of being smaller!"
Mei Xia is not necessarily very-short, but she is about 5 foot 6 inches, I think. But women from the China Empire tend to be a bit shorter in height. I smile at her, but she says.
"My Master~, need a ride? I am so good I predicted this possibility, so let's go practice tailing!"
She held up her phone and said, let's follow Scott and let him occasionally see me and make him run everywhere chasing a ghost, and the game is for you to not be seen by him?! Let's go, this is part of your training, hurry before he goes too far, come come!
And for the next two hours, Scott got glimpses of a maid in the distance but she vanished while I trailed him and fortunately was never seen by him.
But a few students saw our game of tag and were amused. If this story is on any-other site than Scribble Hub, then it was stolen without permission!
-
At the end, Scott was sitting on a bench and was crying in frustration!
Mei and I were up on a tree-branch side by side watching and I said to her.
"Um, I think we broke him!"
