"What is this child waiting for? If I had known I wouldn't have told her in advance." Yao Huiqin entered the room.
"Young mistress?" Zhou's mother was shocked when she saw Jian Xi coming in later.
Jian Xi was also stunned. She didn't expect that Zhou's mother was still working in the Shu family almost twenty years later.
Zhou's mother turned around and ran towards the house, shouting as she ran: "Old madam, the young lady is back..."
When Jian Xi realized it, it was too late to stop him, so he could only follow in quickly.
Yao Huiqin, who was walking in front, heard the nanny calling the old lady and thought she was calling her. When she turned around, she saw the nanny looking at the sofa and running directly in front of her.
"Old madam, the young lady is back..."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Cao Guifang hurriedly interrupted Zhou Ma.
Zhou Ma pointed at Jian Xi, "Old madam, look, I'm not talking nonsense, it's really the young man..."
"Hurry up and make tea." Cao Guifang interrupted Zhou Ma again.
Zhou Ma looked at Cao Guifang and then at Jian Xi, then turned and entered the kitchen without saying anything.
Cao Guifang walked over and held Yao Huiqin's hand affectionately, "Here you go, sit down quickly."
Yao Huiqin smiled and nodded, "How is my grandma doing lately?"
"Quite tough." Cao Guifang replied with a smile, looking at Jian Xi behind Yao Huiqin, with a strange look in her eyes, "Is this your eldest daughter-in-law who has been missing for five years?"
Yao Huiqin, "Yeah, I didn't expect to see her again in my lifetime. God has treated me well."
Jian Xi could feel that Cao Guifang's eyes were filled with different emotions, including sarcasm and resentment. Jian Xi's face changed slightly, and she forced a smile and said hello. She didn't know what to call her, and finally she just said, "Hello. .”
"Hello." Cao Guifang replied with a smile, but only Cao Guifang knew how forced the smile was and how much resentment was behind the smile.
Cao Guifang took Yao Huiqin and sat down on the sofa together.
Jian Xi sat down opposite the two people.
Zhou Ma came out with tea and kept her eyes on Jian Xi while putting the tea.
Yao Huiqin noticed the nanny's strange behavior, remembered what happened just now, and asked Cao Guifang with a smile, "Grandma, why did your nanny just call my daughter-in-law Young Mistress?"
Jian Xi's nerves immediately became tense and she looked at Cao Guifang nervously.
Cao Guifang also looked at Jian Xi and said with a half-smile, "This eldest daughter-in-law of yours is a bit like my former daughter-in-law who abandoned her husband and son. The nanny is old and she was blinded to admit her mistake."
"Oh." Yao Huiqin did not continue the topic. After all, it was not a decent thing for the Shu family for her daughter-in-law to abandon her husband and run away with another man.
However, Jian Xi's face instantly turned pale when she heard the words 'abandoning husband and son'. She picked up the tea that Zhou Ma placed in front of her, her hands were trembling a little, and she lowered her head...
"Be careful of scalding..." Zhou Ma reminded, but it was too late. Jian Xi was completely absent-minded. She lowered her head and took a sip. The tip of her tongue felt numb and the water in her hand was not steady. All the water spilled out and splashed on her legs.
The white slim-fitting pants that Jian Xi wore today were made of thin summer material. The water penetrated the pants and burned her skin. The sharp pain like needles made Jian Xi stand up from the sofa.
"Xiao Xi, is it burned?" Yao Huiqin asked with a worried look on her face.
Jian Xi endured the pain on her tongue and legs and comforted Yao Huiqin, "I'm fine."
Cao Guifang stood up and said to Jian Xi, "Xin'er is about the same size as you. She still has some clothes at home from when she was not pregnant. Can I accompany you upstairs to change into a pair of pants?"
