Jiujiu looked away from her phone and glanced at Han Xiaoxiao. "Why use a sledgehammer to kill a chicken? She's just a small assistant. I don't need to do anything. "
Who was Han Youyou? She was just a small assistant in the Gu family's company. There were many people who would help her deal with a small assistant. If she really did it, it would be beneath her status. She was not so foolish to lower her status just to deal with a small assistant.
Han Xiaoxiao was a good child, but Ceng Jiu had raised her to be a little too naive.
No wonder Li Cui had tricked her into taking drugs.
She wanted to protect Han Xiaoxiao well. It was not enough to create a healthy and comfortable environment for her. She had to let her grow mentally.
Only when she became strong could she be fearless.
She could protect Han Xiaoxiao for a while, but she could not protect Han Xiaoxiao forever. Han Xiaoxiao had to become strong on her own.
With a decision in her heart, Jiujiu said to Han Xiaoxiao, "I'm having afternoon tea with Mrs. Gu tomorrow afternoon. You should come along."
Hearing Jiujiu's words, Han Xiaoxiao was stunned. She thought of Mrs. Gu's fawning expression every time she saw her, and she wanted to back out. Without thinking, she shook her head and refused, "I have classes tomorrow afternoon. I won't go."
She would rather attend those boring electives than listen to Mrs. Gu's fake praises. Every time she heard Mrs. Gu's praises, she wanted to dig a hole and hide in it.
Although Jiujiu could tell that Han Xiaoxiao was against the meeting tomorrow, she still said firmly, "You have to go tomorrow."
How could one see the rainbow without experiencing the storm?
Only by experiencing the storm could Han Xiaoxiao become strong from the inside out. Only then could she become a truly strong person who could bear everything without relying on others.
Han Xiaoxiao was unwilling to be forced by Jiujiu, but she could not resist her mother's hospital. She could only nod in agreement.
The next day.
The chauffeur drove Jiujiu and Han Xiaoxiao to the meeting place with Mrs. Gu.
The two of them got out of the car.
Today, Jiujiu was wearing a lake-blue dress, revealing two jade-white arms and a beautiful and exquisite collarbone.
Even though they were already in their forties, Ceng Jiu and Han Xiaoxiao did not look like mother and daughter when they stood together. Instead, they looked like elder sister and younger sister.
Han Xiaoxiao wore the same dress as Jiujiu's, but the color was a brighter pink. When the two of them walked toward Mrs. Gu, Mrs.'s eyes to brighten, and a faint envy in her heart.
If her family was as powerful as Ceng Jiu's family, she would not have to be so humble and compromise.
Unfortunately, there were no "ifs" in this world. Mrs. Gu suppressed the jealousy in her heart and stood up to welcome them. As she sized up Jiujiu and Han Xiaoxiao, she smiled and said, "It's only been a few days since we last met. Mrs. Han, you look a few years younger. When you walk together with Xiaoxiao, you don't look like mother and daughter. Instead, you look like sisters. I didn't dare to recognize you when I saw you just now."
Mrs. Gu's words amused Jiujiu so much that she giggled.
Jiujiu's eyes curved into two beautiful crescents. She covered her mouth and laughed as she said, "You're exaggerating. Mrs. Gu, you only know how to say nice things to make me happy."
Mrs. Gu said half-respectfully and half-seriously, "No, it's clearly because you look young."
After Mrs. Gu praised Jiujiu, she looked at Han Xiaoxiao, who was sitting beside Jiujiu.
Although Han Xiaoxiao was very disheveled when she returned home yesterday, after a night of adjustment, she woke up this morning as a confident girl.
Mrs. Gu had always been very satisfied with Gu Cheng and Han Xiaoxiao's engagement.
Han Xiaoxiao was Han Chen and Ceng Jiu's only daughter. If nothing went wrong, the Ceng family's company would belong to Han Xiaoxiao in the future. Marrying Han Xiaoxiao was equivalent to obtaining the Ceng family's company. It would be effortless to obtain such a large company.
Moreover, Han Xiaoxiao was different from those ladies who looked like embroidered pillows but were useless. Han Xiaoxiao was born into a noble family, but she was not delicate at all. She had a very good personality and they got along very well. There was no need to worry about the relationship between mother and daughter-in-law in the future.
Moreover, even if Han Xiaoxiao was like those delicate ladies outside, Mrs. Gu would still support Han Xiaoxiao because of the things she represented behind her back.
The more Mrs. Gu looked at Han Xiaoxiao, the more satisfied she was. She couldn't help but praise, "Xiaoxiao has become prettier after not seeing her for a few days. Her temperament is getting better and better. Mrs. Han, how did you teach your child? You taught her so well. "
Upon hearing Mrs. Gu's praise, Han Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and said dryly, "Aunt Gu has become younger too."
Mrs. Gu seemed to have heard a funny joke. She covered her mouth and laughed exaggeratedly. "Xiaoxiao only knows how to make me happy."
Mrs. Gu's exaggerated laughter made Han Xiaoxiao very uncomfortable. Han Xiaoxiao smiled dryly and looked pleadingly at Jiujiu, hoping to get Jiujiu's help.
Looking at Han Xiaoxiao's pitiful appearance, Jiujiu chuckled softly. She looked at Han Xiaoxiao and said, "I remember you saying that you still have class later?"
Han Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up and she nodded repeatedly. "I still have class in the afternoon. I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany your mother and Aunt Gu."
Han Xiaoxiao looked at Jiujiu and Mrs. Gu regretfully. Her expression of regret was very sincere.
Mrs. Gu wanted to get close to Han Xiaoxiao, but Han Xiaoxiao's school matters were more important. She could only say regretfully, "Homework is important. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future."
Han Xiaoxiao smiled sweetly and got up to leave.
After Han Xiaoxiao left, Jiujiu picked up her coffee and took a sip.
Ceng Jiu liked to drink black coffee without milk or sugar. The more bitter it was, the more she liked it.
Mrs. Gu had come early and ordered everything according to Ceng Jiu's preferences.
But Jiujiu was different from Ceng Jiu.
She had to do missions continuously for the sake of love. Her life was too bitter. If she couldn't even have a sip of coffee that was sweet, then what was the point of life?
Jiujiu did not like bitter coffee at all. She only took a sip before putting down the coffee in her hand. She looked up at Mrs. Gu and said sternly, "Mrs. Gu, you know that I've always liked Gu Cheng very much."
Her words were full of praise, but they were tainted by Jiujiu's serious expression.
Mrs. Gu's expression tightened. She looked at Jiujiu and asked worriedly, "Mrs. Jiujiu, did Gu Cheng make Xiaoxiao unhappy?"
Thinking of this possibility, Mrs. Gu's heart tightened. She quickly explained with a smile, "It's inevitable for young couples to have problems when they're dating. Why don't I go home and talk to Gu Cheng properly and ask him to apologize to Xiaoxiao?"
Mrs. Gu really liked Han Xiaoxiao.
After all, marrying Han Xiaoxiao was equivalent to getting the Zeng family's company. Who wouldn't be willing to make such a profitable deal?
Hearing Mrs. Gu's words, Jiujiu's stern expression softened a little. However, it also confirmed Mrs. Gu's guess that Gu Cheng and Han Xiaoxiao had an argument.
After confirming this possibility, Mrs. Gu couldn't help but secretly scold Gu Cheng for being brainless.
