The waitress in front of her was none other than An Shishi's mother, Liu Ruo.
At this moment, Liu Ruo also saw An Shishi and Xu Xiuwen.
But she didn't seem particularly surprised.
Xu Xiuwen immediately turned to look at An Shishi.
An Shishi chuckled and asked knowingly, "Hubby, why are you looking at me like that? Order some food."
Xu Xiuwen couldn't help but ask, "How did you find this place?"
After asking, he quickly turned around and explained to Liu Ruo: "I'm sorry, Auntie, it wasn't me who brought Shishi here. I don't know how she found you."
Xu Xiuwen spoke the truth.
In fact, even he didn't know the exact location of the hotel where Liu Ruo worked.
Liu Ruo shook her head and said, "Xiao Xu, you don't have to apologize. I know it has nothing to do with you, and Auntie doesn't blame you."
Hearing Liu Ruo say this, Xu Xiuwen breathed a sigh of relief.
Xu Xiuwen asked again, "Shishi, how did you find this place?"
An Shishi smiled smugly again, but did not explain.
It was Liu Ruo who helped him solve his confusion.
Liu Ruo said: "Yesterday morning when I went out to work, Shishi suddenly came out of the guard room and found me. Then I brought her here."
After hearing Liu Ruo's words, Xu Xiuwen immediately guessed what was going on.
After An Shishi knew the neighborhood where Liu Ruo lived, she began to wait and see.
And I chose the morning when there were fewer people.
Now we are waiting for Liu Ruo.
Although it was not Xu Xiuwen who personally took An Shishi to see Liu Ruo.
But taking An Shishi to the community where Liu Ruo lives is obviously not a smart choice.
Xu Xiuwen apologized and said, "Auntie, it's my fault. I shouldn't have let Shishi know which neighborhood you lived in. I didn't think too much about it at the time. I just wanted to reassure Shishi."
Liu Ruo smiled gently, "It's okay, Auntie doesn't blame you. In fact, I have figured it out these days. My previous decision and thoughts were so impulsive and childish. In fact, even if Shishi didn't look for me, I was going to look for her."
Xu Xiuwen felt that Liu Ruo might not be sincere.
But she didn't show any anger directly, so Xu Xiuwen breathed a sigh of relief.
"Okay, Xiao Xu, what do you want to eat? Order the food. Auntie will treat you."
Xu Xiuwen smiled and said, "Okay, then I won't be polite."
Chapter 721 Christmas Eve Gift
Xu Xiuwen took the menu and ordered four dishes and a soup.
After ordering the dishes, Liu Ruo walked away.
Xu Xiuwen turned to look at An Shishi and said, "Shishi, why didn't you tell me? It was so sudden that I was not prepared at all."
An Shishi suddenly put away her smile and said, "Okay, husband, stop acting."
"What do you mean?" Xu Xiuwen looked confused.
An Shishi blinked and said, "You took me to the neighborhood where my mother lives, didn't you just want me to find her myself? Why are you pretending to be so surprised?"
"Forehead… "
Xu Xiuwen had nothing to say and could only touch his nose to hide his embarrassment.
I wanted to pretend.
I didn’t expect An Shishi to see it right away.
In fact, when I took An Shishi to the community where Liu Ruo lived.
He was already prepared for An Shishi to find Liu Ruo.
He might even have done it on purpose.
In this way, he would not be breaking his promise to Liu Ruo, and it would also make An Shishi feel at ease.
He knew that An Shishi would not feel at ease as long as she couldn't see her mother.
This kills two birds with one stone.
But he didn't expect An Shishi to be so smart and see through his intentions at once.
An Shishi smiled faintly, "Okay, husband, I won't tell my mother, don't worry."
Xu Xiuwen simply stopped pretending and said, "It's good that you and your daughter are reunited."
An Shishi suddenly came over, kissed him on the face, and said, "Thank you, husband. You are so considerate."
The food was served soon.
Liu Ruo couldn't eat with us because she was still at work.
Xu Xiuwen and An Shishi had no choice but to eat first.
Liu Ruo is now very familiar with this job and is very busy in the store.
An Shishi felt a little distressed after seeing this.
She suddenly thought of something, turned to look at Xu Xiuwen, and hesitated to speak.
After Xu Xiuwen saw it, he asked, "What do you want to say?"
An Shishi suddenly shook her head and said, "It's okay."
Xu Xiuwen frowned, "Are you still hiding this from me?"
An Shishi explained: "I don't want to hide it, I just don't want you to worry."
"Your business is my business. I am happy to worry about it. Tell me now, or I will punish you according to the family rules."
When An Shishi heard the family punishment, her face turned red.
She was still hesitant and looked a little nervous: "Honey, I want my mom to change her job."
Xu Xiuwen frowned immediately.
An Shishi immediately noticed the way Xu Xiuwen looked at her.
She explained: "I don't think it's shameful for her to be a waitress, I just think she works too hard. I didn't have the ability to give her a good life before, but now that I know my husband, I want my mother to have an easier time. Do you think I'm too selfish?"
Xu Xiuwen breathed a sigh of relief. "I don't think you are selfish. On the contrary, I think this is the attitude you should have. If you remain indifferent, I will think you are selfish."
An Shishi breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that.
"What kind of job do you want your mother to change to?"
Xu Xiuwen actually felt that it would be difficult for Liu Ruo to change jobs because she had neither a diploma nor any special skills.
It seems that there is nothing else I can do except working in the service industry.
An Shishi shook her head and said, "I don't know. I just have this idea, but I don't know what she can do?"
Xu Xiuwen thought for a moment and suggested, "Why not let her work in my company and give her a sinecure where she doesn't have to do anything."
I originally thought that An Shishi would agree without hesitation.
Unexpectedly, An Shishi refused.
"Hubby, don't. My mom doesn't know anything, so it's not appropriate for her to work in your company. Besides, people will think you're hiring people based on personal connections, which is not conducive to your management of the company."
An Shishi was able to think of this for him.
Xu Xiuwen was somewhat touched.
At this time, An Shishi suddenly suggested: "Husband, what do you think about letting my mother open a small shop?"
"Open a small shop?"
An Shishi nodded, "Yes, open a small shop. Don't underestimate my mother. She is very good at math and can calculate accounts very quickly."
"I don't look down on you, auntie. It's just that running a store requires not only accounting, but also many other things."
As soon as Xu Xiuwen finished speaking, he noticed that An Shishi looked disappointed.
Xu Xiuwen felt a little sorry, so he added, "Don't be disappointed. Although opening a store requires a lot of knowledge, I think Auntie is so smart that it shouldn't be a problem."
An Shishi immediately showed a surprised smile.
Xu Xiuwen placed his hand on An Shishi's thigh and patted it gently, saying, "But opening a store is no small matter. Whether to open it or not, and what kind of store to open, not only do we need to discuss it, but we also have to consider Auntie's opinion. Let's talk about this later, okay?"
An Shishi was so excited that she ignored Xu Xiuwen's hand.
She said with a big smile, "Thank you, husband."
After An Shishi finished speaking, she picked up another piece of meat and quickly brought it to Xu Xiuwen's mouth.
Xu Xiuwen ate it with a smile.
If it were any other man, saying we'd talk later would most likely be perfunctory.
