"Okay." Aunt Chen shook off the embarrassment that Mrs. Fu had just caused her, and immediately smiled and said happily, "I'll go to the market and buy you a fish and make your favorite boiled fish."
"Yeah." Qiao Nian responded.
At this moment, the noble lady who had hesitated for a moment not far away came towards them, shyly saying hello to the girls with a slightly awkward expression, "Niannian, long time no see. You've grown taller, lost weight, and become more beautiful than before."
Her greetings were very dry, and Mrs. Fu herself felt ashamed and hesitant, wishing she could find a hole to crawl into.
But she was forced into no choice.
Yesterday, Fu Sinian told her that Bai Lin's cousin had done something to provoke Qiao Nian again.
She didn't sleep well that night.
Over the past year or so, the Fu family has been on a downward spiral, especially after the female celebrity that Fu Sinian kept outside caused trouble last time. Everyone saw the Ye family's attitude towards them.
The Fu family's already difficult life became even more difficult.
Without the support of the Ye family, the Fu family would still have a hard time even in the small city of Raocheng.
She was worried that Wei Xueying's incident would make the already difficult road for the Fu family even more difficult, and she was even more worried that Ye Wangchuan would vent his anger on them because of Wei Xueying's incident... So after she couldn't sleep last night, she thought about it and came up with this idea.
She wanted to establish a good relationship with Aunt Chen, and then repair her relationship with Qiao Nian and Ye Wangchuan behind Qiao Nian.
Although this method is a bit shameless, it is better than her doing nothing.
After thinking about it, Mrs. Fu calmed down a little bit of the embarrassment in her chest, forced a smile, and continued, "It's like this, I heard from Fu Ge that Uncle Chen had surgery some time ago, and I always wanted to visit him, but I was too busy and didn't have time. Today I finally made some time, so I bought some gifts for Uncle Chen, but Aunt Chen refused to accept them."
Fu Ge used to go to Qiao's house often.
Aunt Chen worked as a maid in the Qiao family again.
We knew each other before.
But Aunt Chen only knew Fu Ge and didn't have much contact with him, let alone Mrs. Fu.
Mrs. Fu looked down on even Qiao Chen at the beginning, let alone the other people in the Qiao family.
At this moment, she acted like everyone was familiar with her. Aunt Chen felt uncomfortable all over. She grabbed her hands and whispered to Qiao Nian, "Those gifts are too expensive. I, I can't accept them."
The girl was wearing a baseball cap and had changed into a light-colored sweatshirt today. She was still dressed very simply, but she had an aura that could not be ignored.
Fu Ge was standing not far away, but he was not as thick-skinned as Mrs. Fu and did not dare to come over.
But he was looking in the direction of the girl the whole time.
The girl didn't even look at him. After listening to what the two said, she reached out and patted Aunt Chen's rough hand, hummed softly, and then said softly: "It's okay, I'll take care of it."
"Niannian, you..." Aunt Chen raised her eyes again. Although the situation made her very helpless, she never thought of asking Qiao Nian to speak up for her.
She was just trying to muster up the courage to reject Mrs. Fu directly.
The girl had already taken a step forward, standing in front of her without leaving a trace, and said to the lady in a calm voice: "Are these the gifts?"
Mrs. Fu was originally uneasy, worried that Qiao Nian would not want to give her face, but when she heard the girl ask her, she immediately pursed her lips and smiled: "Ah, yes. I bought some health supplements for Uncle Chen, all of which are nourishing supplements. I specifically asked the doctor, and he said that they are most suitable for patients."
