She was fired after she refused to be the CEO's dog licker.

Maybe it’s because I grew up with my grandmother, I always have a good impression of women who are gentle and calm. And I have a particularly good impression of Mrs. Zhang, who has both great looks and temperament.

She was so kind to me, no politeness, just a question from the heart.

It’s no wonder that such a beautiful and gentle person could raise a son as kind and polite as Zhang Tingyuan.

I can’t imagine what kind of temperament and graceful manners a daughter raised by such a mother would have.

My heart was filled with warmth from these words, but in order not to make her worry, I smiled and said, "The doctor said that my neck was just sprained, and it's not serious. I will be discharged from the hospital in two days. Please don't worry about me, Mrs. Zhang."

"Ms. Meng is such a sensible girl." Mrs. Zhang looked at me with even more tenderness in her eyes, "And you are so lovable. If your parents knew that you suffered so much, they would definitely be heartbroken."

She actually has a cool and elegant temperament, but now that she is sitting next to me and talking to me like this, I just feel close to her.

Looking at her, I couldn't help but think of my grandma.

Yes, if my grandma were still alive, she would be heartbroken to see me injured.

Thinking of grandma, my heart ached, my nose felt sore, and my vision was a little blurry, but I didn't want to lose my composure in front of Madam Zhang, so I smiled and swallowed back my tears: "Thank you for your concern, Madam. My aunt and uncle have come to see me this morning. I'm fine, so I let them go back."

"Aunt and uncle? Aren't Miss Meng's parents in Beijing and Hong Kong?" Mrs. Zhang didn't mean to leave immediately. Instead, she held my hand and asked carefully, "By the way, you didn't tell me last time, where is your hometown?"

I was a little surprised by her behavior. I had only met her once, and I wasn't even particularly close to Zhang Tingyuan, but she was so concerned about me and even asked about my family.

I told Mrs. Zhang the truth: "My hometown is Bengcheng. I have never seen my mother, and my father disappeared a long time ago. I was raised by my grandmother."

"Miss Meng's hometown is Bengcheng?" Mrs. Zhang's expression suddenly became anxious, "You haven't seen your mother? I wonder if your mother had an accident, or..."

I shook my head. “I don’t know. I can’t remember much about my childhood.”

"That's right. You were just a child at the time, so it's normal that you can't remember these things." Mrs. Zhang expressed her understanding and asked, "Is your grandmother still in her hometown? She should know these things, right?"

At this point, I paused because I noticed that Mrs. Zhang seemed to be very concerned about my family situation.

Even Zhang Tingyuan and Yuan Tianye felt that Mrs. Zhang's questions were a bit too profound.

I heard Yuan Tianye pull Zhang Tingyuan aside and say, "Hey, what does Aunt Zhang mean by this? Is she interested in my sister and wants her to be your wife? Let me tell you, if you really treat me as a brother, then you should give up this idea. My sister is mine!"

"I don't know. I was planning to come alone, but my mom happened to see your text message and wanted to come along. I didn't expect her to ask so many questions." Zhang Tingyuan looked innocent, but quickly winked at Yuan Tianye, "Sister Meng is so likable, it's normal for anyone to like her. Besides, you haven't caught up with your sister yet, so I have a chance too. Let's compete fairly."

"You kid... come out here." Yuan Tianye seemed unable to suppress his anger, and he carried Zhang Tingyuan out of the ward.

Mrs. Zhang seemed to have just noticed something was wrong and immediately apologized to me: "I'm sorry, Miss Meng, did I ask too many questions and offend you?"

Who could have the heart to blame such a beautiful person? Besides, Mrs. Zhang only asked me some family questions and didn't say much else, so it couldn't be considered an offense to me.

I smiled and said to the gentle and amiable Mrs. Zhang, "It's okay, I don't care, it's just that my grandma passed away two years ago."

"Ah?" Mrs. Zhang's eyes first showed disappointment, and then deep regret, "I'm really sorry, I brought up Miss Meng's sad story."

I realized belatedly that when I mentioned my grandmother's death two years ago, my usually calm voice trembled a little, and Mrs. Zhang noticed it.

I waved my hands to indicate that it was okay.

Ignorance is not a crime. Mrs. Zhang did not mean to hurt me. I guess she asked so many questions just because she was curious about me.

At this time, Zhang Tingyuan and Yuan Tianye came back from outside. Zhang Tingyuan seemed a little anxious: "Mom, grandma is urging us to go back, shall we?"

"Okay." Mrs. Zhang responded immediately, and then held my hand and carefully reminded me to eat more supplements, take good care of myself, and not to exercise too much. I answered her one by one.

Then Mrs. Zhang and Zhang Tingyuan left my ward together.

I saw her steps were a little hurried as she left, so I asked Yuan Tianye casually, "Is the situation over there with Madam Zhang urgent, so she urged Madam Zhang and Zhang Tingyuan to go back?"

"It's just a minor ailment, so it's not a big problem. But this old lady Zhang has always liked the fourth lady of the Zhang family, so she can't leave for a moment. Look, she urged me to go back after just a while." Yuan Tianye raised his eyebrows, then leaned close to me and asked anxiously, "Sister, do you like this Madam Zhang?"

"I felt she was friendly and approachable the first time I saw her, and we were easy to talk to." I was embarrassed to say that I liked her directly, but I did have a good feeling about this Mrs. Zhang.

Yuan Tianye's expression instantly became anxious, and he tugged at my sleeve anxiously: "Zhang Tingyuan is still young, he is not worthy of you at all, sister, in fact, my mother is also very kind..."

"What are you talking about? What's on your head every day?" When I heard this, I felt a little confused and interrupted him immediately.

At this moment, a figure rushed into the ward, his footsteps were breathless.

"I'm so pissed off. This scheming dog is so cunning!"

"What's wrong?" I looked carefully and found it was Wu Ling. I thought she was upset again because she ran into Zhang Jiahao downstairs, so I quickly asked her, "What did Zhang Jiahao do to make you unhappy? I'll get up and go down with you to fight back."

When Wu Ling heard what I said, he laughed out of anger: "If that scumbag hadn't provoked me, I wouldn't have run into him."

"Who offended Mr. Wu?" Yuan Tianye asked curiously.

Wu Ling's face hardened again, and he gritted his teeth: "Lin Xixi, that scheming bitch, said in her statement at the police station that she left before you got into trouble. Of course, this is not credible. The police checked the property's surveillance, and guess what happened? This little bitch, she..."
