Jiujiu didn't think she had a good relationship with Tang Mengze. After all, they had only met once and had a meal together. How good could their relationship be?
Jiujiu didn't expect that Tang Mengze would ask about her family.
Mo Li said that Tang Mengze was dangerous. She thought that Cui Jing was his uncle. She was young and pretty. Maybe Tang Mengze thought she was a threat to his aunt.
Even if she didn't say anything, Tang Mengze could find out. Jiujiu told him everything honestly, "My father has been dead for ten years. My grandparents died in a car accident some time ago. I'm the only one left in my family."
When Tang Mengze saw Jiujiu for the first time, Jiujiu was so confident that she looked like a young lady who had been carefully cultivated by an aristocratic family.
Jiujiu didn't exist in his memory, so Tang Mengze guessed that Jiujiu didn't come from a good family. However, he didn't expect that Jiujiu's family background would be so bad.
After all, a poor family couldn't cultivate such confidence and brashness.
Now that he heard Jiujiu say that she was the only one left in her family, Tang Mengze felt as if his heart had been pricked by a needle.
Tang Mengze felt as if he had swallowed a dozen lemons. It was sour and astringent.
Tang Mengze was born in the Tang family. Although he wasn't a member of the royal family, he was still a prodigy. He was the kind of person who would never apologize even if he was in the wrong. But now, he was apologizing to Jiujiu. "I'm sorry, I didn't know …"
If he had known about Jiujiu's family background, he would never have asked this question.
"It's okay." Jiujiu waved her hand and said carelessly, "You didn't mean it."
Although he said so, Tang Mengze still felt a little sorry for poking at her scars.
Looking at Jiujiu's young face, Tang Mengze felt a little guilty. He thought for a while and said, "Have you thought about what you want to do in the future?"
Jiujiu blinked and said, "Go to school and find a professional job."
Tang Mengze was stunned. "School?"
Jiujiu: "Why else would I be Mr. Cui's bodyguard?"
Wasn't it to earn tuition fees?
Jiujiu's words completely dispelled Tang Mengze's suspicions about the relationship between Jiujiu and Cui Jing.
Tang Mengze felt a little ashamed when she thought of Jiujiu in the past.
Jiujiu's heart was as clear as crystal. How could he doubt her relationship with Cui Jing?
Tang Mengze lowered her eyes to hide the annoyance in her eyes and said softly, "If you're willing, I can sponsor you …"
He misunderstood Jiujiu. This was his compensation to Jiujiu.
Jiujiu refused Tang Mengze's words. "No need. My salary and bonus this month are enough to pay for my tuition fees and living expenses this year. After school, I can be a tutor and work part-time. I can continue to work during the winter and summer vacations. I can support myself. I don't need your sponsorship."
Jiujiu looked at Tang Mengze's lowered eyelids and added, "I can support myself. I don't need your sympathy."
Jiujiu's words hit the bullseye. Tang Mengze couldn't deny it and could only remain silent.
Tang Mengze looked at Jiujiu seriously and said, "You will be very powerful in the future."
With her temperament and character, she could succeed in anything.
Jiujiu smiled. "Thank you for your kind words."
Tang Mengze smiled and put his business card in Jiujiu's hand. Then he got up and left.
Jiujiu put the business card in her pocket but didn't take Tang Mengze's words to heart.
The next day, Cui Jing took Jiujiu and Mo Li back.
After returning to the company, Cui Jing gave Jiujiu a day off.
Jiujiu went straight to the Tang family's old mansion.
Because of the hot weather, the vegetables in the vegetable garden were all dead. The ones that were still alive were listless.
Jiujiu used a hose to water the vegetables that were still alive and then the trees in the backyard.
After doing all this, she was about to order takeout to reward herself when she saw Tang He pacing back and forth at the front door. His sneaky eyes were almost written on his face.
If it was in the past, Jiujiu would have been worried that Tang He would destroy the house. However, she had signed a guarantee with Tang Han. With Tang He's cowardly appearance, he would not dare to destroy the house even if he was given ten guts.
So, why was he sneaking around at the front door?
Jiujiu opened the door and saw Tang He pacing back and forth. She asked, "What are you doing?"
Jiujiu's sudden voice scared Tang He so much that he jumped up.
Seeing that it was Jiujiu, Tang He couldn't help leaning back. Fear appeared on his face.
Seeing Tang He's terrified look, Jiujiu's lips twitched. She asked with a smile, "Are you looking for me?"
Jiujiu's words woke Tang He up. Thinking about why he was here, Tang He forced himself to calm down. He nodded at Jiujiu and said, "I have something to talk to you about."
Jiujiu nodded and asked with a smile, "What is it?"
Jiujiu looked young. She had a pair of beautiful almond-shaped eyes. When she smiled, her eyes formed two small crescents. She looked very cute.
However, Tang He was scared by Jiujiu's beating. Seeing Jiujiu like this, not only did he not find her cute, but it was as if he was being stared at by something terrifying. His body trembled uncontrollably. Thinking about why he came, Tang He lowered his eyes to hide the fear in them. He said in a low voice, "Someone from the main house is coming. My father asked you to go back."
The Tang family wasn't very powerful in the city, but they were inextricably linked with the Tang family in Beijing. Otherwise, the police wouldn't have been so polite to Tang He and Tang Han when Tang He was arrested. It was all because of the Tang family in Beijing.
However, the main house hadn't come for so many years. Why would they suddenly come this year?
Jiujiu muttered in her heart and said, "I know. Call me in advance. I will be there on time."
Although Jiujiu did not have any feelings for the main family, the old couple of the Tang family seemed to have a very good relationship with the main family. Perhaps the main family had come this time because of the old couple of the Tang family. As the last family member of the old couple in this world, she had to make a trip there.
Seeing Jiujiu agree, Tang He breathed a sigh of relief. After glancing at Jiujiu, he ran away like a mouse seeing a cat.
Jiujiu ordered takeout. After eating and drinking to her heart's content, she locked the door and took a taxi back to Cui Jing's house.
When she arrived home, Jiujiu saw Aunt Li as soon as she entered the house.
Although Aunt Li knew that Jiujiu wasn't Miss Tang, she liked Jiujiu very much after getting along with her for a period of time.
When Cui Jing came back without Jiujiu, Aunt Li had been muttering in her heart for a long time. Now that she saw Jiujiu, Aunt Li went up to her and asked with a smile, "What took you so long?"
Jiujiu handed the fruit she picked from the tree in the backyard to Aunt Li and explained, "President Cui let me go home for a day. I went home to take a look. This fruit is from my tree. It's very sweet. Aunt Li, try it."
Hearing Jiujiu's explanation, Aunt Li breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing the fruit handed to her by Jiujiu, Aunt Li instantly smiled.
Didn't Jiujiu care about her performance?
