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

I didn't expect that Mrs. Zhang's attitude towards Zhou Hanzhi would change so quickly. I also didn't expect that she would disregard the cooperative relationship between the Zhang and Zhou families, show no mercy to Zhou Hanzhi, and directly order him to leave.

What I didn't expect was the wording she used in that sentence.

My family is Xuxu.

Such an intimate and protective name.

Madam Zhang Si really treated me as one of her own. At that moment, I felt like when I was a child and was bullied by kids of the same age, I was protected by my grandmother.

At this moment, I really wanted to call her mom.

But I can't, because in my heart I really just regard Zhang Tingyuan as my younger brother. Madam Zhang Si and I can't be mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and I can't call her mother.

In the living room, the air became quiet after Mrs. Zhang Si's words, but there was a strong smell of gunpowder in the quietness.

Even Zhang Tingyuan, who had always been the friendliest to Zhou Hanzhi, looked uneasy.

Zhou Hanzhi gently put down the chopsticks in his hand, stood up, bowed slightly to Madam Zhang Si, and then left without a word.

It was our common wish that he leave. However, after Zhou Hanzhi left, the atmosphere at the table was not as relaxed as expected. Instead, it fell into a low pressure.

"Xuxu, how did Lin Xixi push you down the stairs last time? This matter is so serious, why didn't you tell me?" Madam Zhang Si grabbed my hand and asked anxiously. She became more and more angry as she spoke, "Lin Xixi is so vicious at heart. After doing such a thing, how could nothing happen to her? Is Zhou Hanzhi protecting her?"

Seeing her so anxious, her beautiful face flushed red. I was afraid that she would get angry and hurt herself, so I quickly held her hand and gently advised her: "Madam, don't worry. I have already called the police about this matter. I didn't tell you at the time because I didn't want to worry you. The police have been investigating this matter, but there is no result yet, so Lin Xixi is still outside for the time being..."

"The results will be out soon, Aunt Zhang, please be patient." Yuan Tianye beside me also said something.

I immediately echoed her, busy trying to comfort Mrs. Zhang Si: "Yes, the results will be out soon."

Mrs. Zhang Si was still worried. She frowned and asked again, "When will the results come out? When will the people who hurt Xuxu be punished? I can't stand this at all!"

"That's right, Xiaoye, please give me an exact number. I saw you going to the police station some time ago. It must be because of this matter. Why haven't you come up with any result yet?" Zhang Tingyuan's tone sounded a little angry.

He looks like a little bear and his temperament is similar to his appearance. Although he always enjoys fighting with Yuan Tianye in front of us, his basic temperament is honest and sincere.

He rarely questioned others in a sharp tone, but today he was so sharp and sarcastic to Yuan Tianye.

I know in my heart that the abnormalities between him and Madam Zhang Si were all caused by me, but Yuan Tianye has done his best in this matter, and I don't want him to be blamed.

So I quickly tried to smooth things over: "It will be soon, Madam. Xiaoyuan, don't worry. We believe in the power of the police. This matter will definitely be..."

"There will be results in the next two days. Don't worry, Aunt Zhang. We will watch Lin Xixi being arrested together!" Yuan Tianye interrupted me with a firm tone.

I was stunned when I heard it, and turned my head in surprise, only to meet his bright and serious peach blossom eyes: "Sister, didn't I tell you this afternoon that I prepared two surprises?"

"Your second surprise won't be..." I was so surprised.

In the afternoon, Yuan Tianye did mention two surprises. The first surprise was that the pony he bought for me arrived. I forgot to ask about the second surprise.

From what he said, could it be that the second surprise is that he has already brought the tracking witness to the police station?

Sure enough, Yuan Tianye raised his chin slightly, and his peach blossom eyes began to smile, with a confident smile: "Yes, the second surprise is this. The property management staff who escaped for a long time this morning has been taken back to the police station. In the next two days, that matter will have a conclusion."

"Xiao Ye, thank you for your hard work!" I really didn't expect all this. It would be a lie to say that I wasn't excited. Of course, I also hope that those who hurt me will be punished by law.

"Well, Xiaoye did a good job." Mrs. Zhang Si was relieved when she heard the news and praised Yuan Tianye.

Zhang Tingyuan on the side also restrained his edge.

Yuan Tianye's face was not as proud as I imagined. Instead, he showed a sense of guilt: "I should do all this for my sister. I still feel guilty for not protecting my sister well and doing things for her so slowly. I let the murderer hang around in front of my sister every day, which makes my sister feel upset."

"Don't say that, Xiaoye. You've done a lot for me." I interrupted him quickly and frowned. "The real culprit in this matter is Zhou Hanzhi. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have been hurt by Lin Xixi."

Lin Xixi is hateful, but the truly hateful one is Zhou Hanzhi. If he hadn't pestered me again and again, causing Lin Xixi to become suspicious, I wouldn't have been hurt by Lin Xixi.

I sincerely hope that after this matter is handled, I will no longer have anything to do with Zhou Hanzhi and Lin Xixi.

"Xiao Ye, Lin Xixi is Zhou Hanzhi's girlfriend. Zhou Hanzhi values ​​her so much. Will he use his connections to cover up Lin Xixi's crime?" Zhang Tingyuan suddenly said this.

We were all silent for a moment.

I have also been thinking about this question. If it was Lin Xixi who arranged the escape route herself, which led to the case not being closed, what about now?

Now that the witness has been found, Lin Xixi will soon face legal sanctions. Will Zhou Hanzhi find a way to protect her?

In a money-driven society, money can drive many things. Zhou Hanzhi has reached his current position because he has built up a network of connections long ago, and he does have the ability to do so...

"If he can do it, then we can't? He has connections, but we don't? My beauty salon has so many clients, including relatives of high-ranking officials, how can I not handle this little thing?" Mrs. Zhang Si snorted coldly and glanced at Zhang Tingyuan, who frowned and looked worried. "You underestimate my ability, leave it to me."

"Mom, are you going to use your connections for Sister Meng? This is the first time I see you like this. Tell me quickly, what are you going to do specifically?" Upon hearing this, Zhang Tingyuan's expression visibly relaxed, and he deliberately teased Madam Zhang Si.

Madam Zhang Si kicked him and said with a smile, "What are you doing? Are we the kind of people who would bend the law for personal gain? I will just ask for help to block those who are trying to get in, and let this matter be handled according to normal procedures."

"Hehe, Mom is awesome! Long live Mom!" Zhang Tingyuan immediately began to flatter her crazily.

We laughed together, and the atmosphere at the dinner table became relaxed and joyful again. I thanked Mrs. Zhang Si, and we all enjoyed the dinner happily together.

Of course, the guests and hosts had a great time. Mrs. Zhang Si’s cell phone rang several times. It was Mr. Zhang urging her to go home. It was not until Mr. Zhang became a little angry that Mrs. Zhang Si took Zhang Tingyuan and Yuan Tianye to say goodbye to me.

I was really tired, so I took a shower and went to bed.

The next morning, I was woken up by the alarm clock. I stared at the ceiling for a while before I suddenly realized that there was something very important to do today.
