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

When Madam Zhang Si and I walked into the west hall, Mr. Zhang was chatting with Shen Hualan. The two of them were talking very attentively. Only when he heard Zhang Tingyuan's call did Mr. Zhang turn around.

When his eyes fell on me and Madam Zhang Si, he showed a hint of surprise, and after a moment of silence, he nodded: "Yes, they look alike."

Without waiting for Zhang Tingyuan to say anything else, he added, "However, she is wearing your mother's clothes and has the same hairstyle your mother used to like. It's normal that they look a bit similar at first glance, but if you look closely, your mother and Miss Meng are still very different and don't look alike."

"Yes, the Fourth Madam is also wearing ancient-style clothes today. No wonder you two are standing together. I also feel like you look like mother and daughter." Shen Hualan echoed.

Shen Hualan said this casually, but after she said this, I noticed that Mr. Zhang's expression changed slightly.

Shen Hualan was totally unaware and even stood up and took my hand: "Xuxu, I didn't expect you to look so good in this style. I haven't tried this style of clothes yet. Do you have time this afternoon? Can you go shopping with auntie? We can buy a set of clothes of the same style, just like mother-in-law and daughter-in-law."

I suddenly understood. Shen Hualan said that Madam Zhang Si and I looked like mother and daughter when standing together, and now she said she wanted to buy mother-in-law and daughter-in-law outfits from me. She has not given up on me yet.

She also wanted me to be her daughter-in-law, or to be more precise, she wanted me to be her gun.

That's right. After all, Zhou Hanzhi is deeply in love with Lin Xixi. Even if the Rongyu board of directors and the Zhou family put pressure on him, his love for Lin Xixi remains unchanged.

Now Yuan Tianye and Zhang Tingyuan are joking about taking me home. Shen Hualan is a little panicked. She is afraid that I, a good candidate for her, will be snatched away by someone else, which will delay her efforts to help her break up Zhou Hanzhi and Lin Xixi.

But I don't want to be her gun.

Just as I was about to say no, Yuan Tianye jumped up, pulled Shen Hualan's and my hands apart, and pulled me to sit next to him: "I'm going to take my sister out horseback riding this afternoon, and she won't have time until tonight. Besides, my sister is such a delicate little princess, and we have to see her mood if we want to invite her to play with us. How can anyone ask my sister to go shopping for clothes with just a few words? My sister is not a servant or a waitress."

"That's right. Even servants and waiters have to pay to accompany them. Who would ask others to accompany them without paying? That's too shameless." Yuan Tianye had just pulled me to sit down when Zhang Tingyuan quickly came over and sat on the other side of me. He also echoed Yuan Tianye's words, and then looked at me flatteringly, "Sister Meng, can you take me with you on the horseback riding this afternoon? I'm an expert in horseback riding and can take you flying."

"It's my job to take my sister flying. You will be responsible for all the expenses. You must make sure my sister has fun and enjoys herself in the afternoon!" Yuan Tianye frowned in disgust, but finally agreed reluctantly and divided the tasks into different parts.

Zhang Tingyuan even nodded in a silly manner, like a giant panda: "No problem, I'll take care of the expenses."

Then two people looked at me with smiles, one was handsome and cool, the other was honest and simple.

When I learned that Han Shuo and Yuan Tianye were good friends, I was not surprised, because Han Shuo and Yuan Tianye both have the common trait of being lively and outgoing. However, when I learned that Zhang Tingyuan and Yuan Tianye were brothers since childhood, I was quite puzzled.

Because in my opinion, the personalities of these two people are completely opposite. One is extroverted and flamboyant, while the other is introverted and shy. They are not the same type at all.

But now I understand.

Under Zhang Tingyuan's silly appearance, he hides the same sharp-tongued character as Yuan Tianye. They are noisy at ordinary times, but at critical moments they can always stand together with Yuan Tianye to face the outside world. They can also cooperate with Yuan Tianye to make fun of him in person. It is not surprising that these two people can play together. No wonder Mrs. Zhang Si said that they are two naughty monkeys. They really are a pair of monkeys.

But I have to admit that with these two monkeys, I can save my mouth. Not only do I not need to find excuses to reject Shen Hualan, but I can also use their mouths to bully Shen Hualan. Shen Hualan's attitude towards me is indeed too casual.

These are not monkeys, they are clearly two cute little brothers!

But the two of them were singing the same weird tune, and Shen Hualan felt a little embarrassed. Mr. Zhang also frowned and his face became serious. The atmosphere in the room was also a little awkward and needed to be eased.

I spoke up in time and smiled at Shen Hualan, "Auntie, I'm sorry, I really don't have time to accompany you this afternoon. How about we make an appointment another day?"

My smile was sincere and my tone was gentle, and Shen Hualan's smile immediately reappeared on her face: "Okay, some other time! Auntie will ask you out some other time."

The atmosphere in the room eased instantly.

The storm just passed, and we all sat down. Madam Zhang Si sat next to Mr. Zhang. Her jade-like hand held a glass of water to Mr. Zhang's mouth, and she smiled softly and said something.

Mr. Zhang's originally serious expression relaxed instantly. Madam Zhang Si said something in his ear again, and he began to laugh. The dissatisfaction in his heart immediately disappeared. He lowered his head and drank a sip of water from Madam Zhang Si's hand, then looked at everyone at the scene and asked in surprise.

"By the way, where is Mr. Zhou? He just said he went out to get some fresh air, so why hasn't he come back in such a long time? Did he get lost in the garden as well?"

"Yeah, where is Han Zhi?" Shen Hualan was a little confused. It was only then that she realized her son was not there. She looked around blankly and asked me, "Xu Xu, why didn't you come back with Han Zhi just now?"

I was confused by Shen Hualan's questions.

When I went out of the warm room just now, I was clearly going out with Madam Zhang Si. I didn't even know Zhou Hanzhi was going out. Why did she ask me why I didn't come back with Zhou Hanzhi?

Or did she know that Zhou Hanzhi and I were together just now?

But how did she know?

Shen Hualan frowned and looked at me again: "Just now, as soon as you left, Xuxu, Han Zhi went out and hasn't come back yet. I thought he went to chase Xuxu. Didn't he go to find you, Xuxu?"

I don’t know how to answer this question. In fact, I did meet Zhou Hanzhi in the garden, but that was just a coincidence.

It shouldn’t be that Zhou Hanzhi came to find me on purpose, right?

Besides, there's no special reason for Zhou Hanzhi to chase me out, right?

He couldn't have followed me out just to humiliate me, right?

"Mrs. Zhou, Xuxu was with me just now, and we didn't meet Mr. Zhou." Mrs. Zhang Si spoke up in time to explain for me.

"Really?" Shen Hualan was still a little skeptical.

Mr. Zhang immediately stood up and prepared to go out and look for it himself.

At this moment, a servant rushed in: "Master and Madam, Mr. Zhou said he had something urgent to do and left first. He didn't have time to say goodbye in person, so he asked me to convey the message."
