Only Gu Nuan was a bit worried that this guest might suddenly binge eat here and get acute gastroenteritis, so she quietly instructed the housekeeper to prepare so dicine.
Zhao ngqing opened his small eyes wide, looking at the third mber of the Xiao Family: "Third Aunt, did you not eat?"
Kids speak most directly. Xiao Shuju is also forthright and said, "I was abroad for so long, there was nothing to eat."
This statent left everyone at the table stunned.
What?
"Didn’t you have anything to eat outside?" The old lady was surprised, "If you’re short on money, you should tell the family. How can you go hungry! Are you a fool!"
Madam Xiao’s anger was enough to show her concern for the third mber of the Xiao Family.
Xiao Shuju was almost brought to tears by Madam Xiao’s words. She felt it was the happiest she’s ever been by being scolded by the old lady. She would willingly take this scolding from her every day.
"No, Grandma." However, she ultimately did not confide, and Xiao Shuju calmly said, "It’s just that I’m not used to foreign food. Their bread and Western cuisine simply cannot compare with dostic rice and stead buns."
"That’s natural." The old lady said, "No matter how good it is outside, it’s never better than ho."
Whether this counts as the old lady playing dumb, no one knows. However, the old lady should know that Xiao Shuju, who enjoyed a privileged life at ho, had long been accustod to Western dining and did not resist it.
After the al, Xiao Shuju was slightly excited and wanted to have a drink.
Coincidentally, it was the usual practice for Madam Xiao to have a small sip of wine with als. Xiao Jianming, however, seed to have given up drinking, perhaps on the doctor’s advice.
Gu Nuan had soone bring up the prepared red wine for Madam Xiao and Xiao Shuju to enjoy.
The red wine was brought up. Later, it was noticed that the wine bottle was not opened.
Xiao’s housekeeper asked soone to fetch a corkscrew.
Soon, with pounding footsteps, soone ran over from the direction of the kitchen.
"So slow to fetch a corkscrew." Xiao’s housekeeper scolded.
"S-sorry." The person apologized, with their head lowered.
"Where’s the corkscrew?"
"I’ll open it, housekeeper."
The person reached into their pocket and pulled out sothing.
Xiao’s housekeeper placed the wine on the dining cabinet next to the table, turned around to see if the host had any other instructions.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the person unfolded a pocketknife.
At this mont, Xiao’s housekeeper suddenly turned back as if he rembered sothing and asked, "Are you new? I’ve never seen you before."
Gu Nuan, being the closest, raised her eyebrows imdiately upon hearing this.
Xiao’s housekeeper shouted to the others, "What’s going on? Didn’t I say? If hiring soone, I must personally review and it must be approved by the young madam!"
At this point, the person suddenly took a big step back, revealing the fruit knife in their hand.
Everyone in the house was montarily stunned.
Bold Xiao Shuju suddenly said, "I seem to have seen this woman sowhere before."
Xiao Jianming’s expression also changed.
Madam Xiao, recalling the third mber’s words, seed to rember sothing and said, "Could she be from the Liu Family—"
Before the old lady could reveal her identity, Xiaoliu let out a scream. Her previously hesitant actions broke through the barrier, and she rushed toward the old lady’s seat with the fruit knife.
The room was in chaos with a large group of people.
