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

It would be more accurate to say that the door of the ward was knocked open rather than opened by someone.

"Han Zhi is sick?" A noble lady rushed in, her tone full of anger, "Why didn't anyone tell me such a big thing? If I hadn't heard the receptionist say that when I went to the company, I wouldn't have known that he had been sick for three days! He was even hospitalized! You are all so bold that you hid such a thing from me. I'm his biological mother!"

The voice was so familiar that I knew who had broken in without turning my head.

Zhou Hanzhi's biological mother, Shen Hualan.

Lin Xixi obviously recognized Shen Hualan's voice. Her expression changed at a speed visible to the naked eye, from angry attack to a sweet smile.

Of course, her smile was not directed at me, but at Shen Hualan.

"Auntie, you're here? Don't be angry. We didn't tell you because we were afraid you would worry. We didn't mean to hide it from you." Lin Xixi finally let go of my wrist and turned to support Shen Hualan's arm. "Please don't get angry. Sit down and take a rest. I'll pour you a glass of water."

"I didn't even know he had been sick for three days, and you still say you were not hiding it from me? If I hadn't scolded that kid Zeng Zhi on the phone, he would not have told me that Han Zhi was in the hospital! You are so brave!" How could Shen Hualan's temper be soothed by a glass of water and a gentle explanation?

To her, Zhou Hanzhi is her treasure whom she has loved since childhood. He is also the key to her rapid ascension to a wealthy life. He is also the magic weapon that enables her to gain a foothold in the Zhou family and be valued by Old Madam Zhou.

How could she not be anxious when something happened to her baby? She angrily scolded him, "Is it still useful to say this now? I don't want to drink water. I'm so angry! Who has the mood to drink water?"

"I'm sorry, Auntie. I didn't do a good enough job. You gave Han Zhi to me, but I didn't take good care of him. I made you worry." Lin Xixi was scolded so much that she couldn't even raise her head. However, she was unusually submissive. She stood there holding the glass of water, just like a well-behaved wife. "Please punish me."

Oh, not only does she obey the rules, but she also takes the initiative to accept the punishment. She is so gentle and sensible. No wonder Zhou Hanzhi likes her so much and wants to marry her. She is a daughter-in-law suitable for a wealthy family.

Shen Hualan has always liked being served respectfully. Lin Xixi is so gentle and well-behaved, so her anger should be relieved.

I didn't say anything, but just continued to pry Zhou Hanzhi's hands silently, wanting to separate from him as soon as possible, leave the ward early, and not disturb the conversation between Shen Hualan and Lin Xixi, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

However, the next moment, I heard Shen Hualan ask in surprise: "Why are you here?"

broken.

I am really afraid of what will happen.

Shen Hualan and I haven't seen each other for a while, and something embarrassing happened before. I have been avoiding Shen Hualan during this period, so when Shen Hualan broke into the ward just now, I didn't even turn my head or say anything. I just wanted to try my best to reduce my presence so that I could sneak away while her attention was still on Lin Xixi.

But before I could even complete this first step, she discovered me.

I took a deep breath and could only manage a polite smile and turned my head.

"Auntie, don't blame Sister Nanxu. Although I have told her not to continue to pester Hanzhi, she is still here to take care of Hanzhi because she is worried about him. But if it weren't for her help today, we wouldn't be able to send Hanzhi to the hospital in time." Lin Xixi explained to me enthusiastically.

But this explanation doesn't sound like it's saying anything good for me.

She turned to look at me, her eyes were friendly and kind, but her words were full of urging: "Sister Nanxu, Auntie is here too, there are enough people around Hanzhi, and we also need to talk about personal matters, so don't stand here, hurry up and leave."

Damn it, am I the one who doesn't want to leave? I'm more anxious to leave than anyone else, but I'm being held back and can't leave!

I felt aggrieved and irritated, but I also felt that Lin Xixi was actually helping me, so it would be better for me to take the opportunity to leave.

So I increased the force of prying Zhou Hanzhi's fingers, but I heard Shen Hualan's voice again: "Why are you urging Xuxu?"

"No, Auntie, I don't mean to rush Sister Nanxu. I just thought she must be tired and should go back to rest." Lin Xixi was very good at responding and immediately changed her words with a softer smile on her face.

"This ward is very big, and there is a rest room next to it. If she is tired, she can go there to rest. She doesn't have to walk." Shen Hualan frowned even more tightly, and the blame in her tone became stronger. "Besides, I was not talking about her just now."

what?

Who else could Shen Hualan be talking about if not me?

I looked over in surprise, only to see Shen Hualan looking at Lin Xixi impatiently: "I'm talking about you. Didn't I tell you last time to learn more professional knowledge and work hard when you have nothing to do? Don't just keep pestering Han Zhi. It's fine if you're useless, but you always delay his work. You're not sensible at all."

"I..." Lin Xixi's face turned red instantly.

Awkward, awkward, and at a loss.

I was even more shocked. Lin Xixi behaved so well-behaved and docile in front of Shen Hualan just now. I thought that even if Shen Hualan did not approve of Lin Xixi before, Lin Xixi's well-behavedness should have won over Shen Hualan. How come Shen Hualan was still so disgusted with Lin Xixi and did not hide her dislike for her in front of an outsider like me?

"I'm worried about Han Zhi. He's sick. I, I want to stay and take care of him." Lin Xixi was still stuttering as she explained, "I'm Han Zhi's girlfriend. He needs me the most right now."

"It doesn't seem like he needs you, does it?" Unexpectedly, Shen Hualan suddenly pointed at my hand that was tightly held by Zhou Hanzhi, "Didn't you see that Hanzhi is holding Xuxu's hand now, and he doesn't want to let go even though his hand is twisted red. What he needs most now is Xuxu, and he can't live without Xuxu either."

Lin Xixi was speechless again, and her pretty little face turned red as liver.

I looked at her embarrassed face, but I didn't feel relieved at all. Instead, I suddenly woke up and realized something very important.

Shen Hualan did it on purpose. She deliberately embarrassed Lin Xixi in front of me just to show her own attitude.

Rather than saying that she was venting her anger on my behalf, it would be more accurate to say that she was using me as a gun, using my presence to force Lin Xixi to retreat.

This will make Lin Xixi hate me even more.

I came to my senses and quickly explained: "Mrs. Zhou, this is a misunderstanding. Mr. Zhou was confused and pulled the wrong hand. Mr. Zhou actually hoped that Lin..."

"What are you still doing here? Why don't you take your things and leave? Don't keep us here while we chat in private." Shen Hualan interrupted me before I could finish my words.

At this moment, she looked at me again, and it seemed that she slowed down her tone towards Lin Xixi because of me, but her words still revealed impatience: "Thank you for taking care of Han Zhi, you must be tired too, go back and rest early."
