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

If Zhou Hanzhi hadn't spoken up in time to stop Lin Xixi, Lin Xixi would have said that, and I would definitely have been criticized by the guests present.

Only when Zhou Hanzhi spoke would Lin Xixi really shut up and avoid today's trouble.

It seems that Zhou Hanzhi did do something good to help me.

But, is he really helping me?

He loves Lin Xixi so much that he is afraid that she will melt if he holds her in his mouth, and afraid that she will fall if he holds her in his palm. Could it be possible that he would make his beloved unhappy because of me?

I don’t think I am more important in his heart than Lin Xixi. If I were really more important than Lin Xixi, he wouldn’t have wronged me and made me sad again and again.

Zhou Hanzhi didn't stop Lin Xixi from speaking because of me.

"My silly sister, you are wrong. Zhou Hanzhi is not helping me." Bitterness overflowed from my heart, and my throat was also sour. "He did it for Lin Xixi."

"For Lin Xixi? But his attitude towards Lin Xixi just now was very cold, and he almost forced Lin Xixi to shut up. It doesn't seem like he was doing it for Lin Xixi." Wu Ling frowned, very puzzled.

My throat became more sour and even hoarse. "Lin Xixi told the story between Lin Youde and me, which certainly made me criticized, but she herself would not gain any benefits and would be criticized as well. Zhou Hanzhi took great pains to marry Lin Xixi into the Zhou family, so of course he had to help her maintain her reputation and not watch her do stupid things. He has a good sense of the overall situation."

"So that's what's going on?" Wu Ling's eyes widened slightly, and the corners of his lips that were originally raised were pressed down. He snorted coldly, "I thought Zhou Hanzhi had a conscience and knew to protect you, but it turns out that this bastard thinks so."

She turned around and asked Zhang Tingyuan, "Xiaoyuan, wasn't Lin Xixi invited by Madam? How did she get in?"

"It seems that she was brought in by Young Master Zhou." Zhang Tingyuan thought for a moment and replied.

My heart couldn't stop falling, and Wu Ling was so angry that he laughed: "This Zhou Hanzhi is really a dog. Zeng Zhi kept saying that he had his own reasons, but what a bullshit reason. Last time, he refused to bring Lin Xixi to Mrs. Zhou's birthday, but this time, he brought her to Mrs. Zhang's birthday. He cares so much about Lin Xixi, he really plans to marry her, so he married her, but why did he have to provoke my Xuxu and keep pestering my Xuxu? Bastard!"

Lin Xixi was indeed brought in by Zhou Hanzhi. Just as I guessed, Zhou Hanzhi was trying every means to raise Lin Xixi's status so that he could marry her legitimately in the future.

That's why he was so eager to interrupt Lin Xixi's active exposure just now, because he wanted to marry Lin Xixi, not only to raise Lin Xixi's status, but also to raise the status of the Lin family.

I refused to recognize Lin Youde and ignored this biological father. If this matter spread, it would indeed affect my reputation. But after the matter became a big deal, the fact that Lin Youde abandoned me for twenty years and left home to form another family and gave birth to Lin Xixi would also be despised by the public. Lin Youde's past would also be dug up. He used to be a gambler...

Once these facts were revealed, Lin Xixi would be the daughter of a gambler. How could she marry into the Zhou family in the future? All Zhou Hanzhi's previous efforts would be in vain.

Zhou Hanzhi thought of this and stopped Lin Xixi from continuing. He definitely didn't do it for me.

"Forget it, sister. Let's not talk about him. Let's go meet the lady first and give a gift to Old Mrs. Zhang." I didn't want the emotions to spread, so I changed the subject.

The most important thing for a person is to have self-knowledge. It is enough for me to know my position and weight. There is no need to say more about other things.

What's more, Zhou Hanzhi is no longer bothering me, so I am happy to live in peace.

"Yes, sister, Mom has been looking forward to your coming. She will definitely be very happy to see you. Let's go there quickly." Zhang Tingyuan immediately pulled Wu Ling and me to go ahead.

Wu Ling snorted, and finally put the matter behind us. We walked inside together with the gifts.

In the middle of the hall, on an armchair, sat an old lady with white hair. She was wearing a navy blue embroidered cheongsam, with a pigeon blood red necklace and earrings around her neck and ears. She looked energetic and full of vigor.

This should be today’s protagonist, Old Lady Zhang.

Madam Zhang Si was standing beside her, leaning over to put a cup of tea into her hands. She also bent over and listened to her words, her beautiful face full of a gentle smile.

"Mom, sister and sister Wu are here to celebrate grandma's birthday." Zhang Ting called from a distance.

Mrs. Zhang Si's eyes immediately turned to me, and I could clearly see a happy smile in her eyes: "Xuxu is here?"

My heart was also overflowing with joy, bubbling with joy, and the word "godmother" was almost about to pop out.

But I restrained myself in time, respectfully presented the birthday gift in my hand, and called out with a smile: "Madam, I am here to wish the old lady a happy birthday."

"Mom, this child's name is Xuxu. She's here to celebrate your birthday." Mrs. Zhang Si took the birthday gift and introduced her to Old Lady Zhang with a smile.

Mrs. Zhang was originally very happy because of Mrs. Zhang Si. After listening to her introduction, her sharp eyes narrowed with laughter. She took my hand and asked me to sit down next to her: "So you are Xuxu. I have heard Xiaoyuan talk about you many times. He praised you for being beautiful and capable, and a strong-willed child. Today I finally met you in person, and you are really as good as they said."

I was flattered and quickly replied, "Thank you for the compliment, old lady."

Mr. Zhang didn't like me and was full of wariness and hostility towards me. I thought Mrs. Zhang wouldn't like me either, but I didn't expect her to be so close to me and keep praising me.

"This child is very open and honest, very good, not the kind of shy and timid one who can't be put on stage." Old Lady Zhang took my hand again, looked at my face carefully, looked up and smiled at Mrs. Zhang, "You all said before that this child was born beautiful, the best in the world, and I thought in my heart that there is no one more beautiful than you in the world. Now it seems that you are really outdone."

"Xuxu is prettier than me." Mrs. Zhang Si smiled happily, with light in her eyes and even a little pride on her face.

"Grandma, I'm not talking nonsense, my sister is just beautiful!" Zhang Tingyuan followed suit and flattered me, and even winked at Grandma Zhang.

I didn't expect that Madam Zhang Si and Xiao Yuan would often mention me in front of Old Lady Zhang, but I'm not that good. I felt a little embarrassed when I was flattered by them.

I was very embarrassed. Just as I was about to speak, I heard Old Lady Zhang holding my hand and saying, "I see this child looks a lot like you when you were young. Both are cute and lovable."

"This child is so lovable. You should love her more, old lady." Mrs. Zhang Si smiled even more happily.

Old Mrs. Zhang then said, "Good boy, you haven't got engaged yet, have you? Do you like this fat grandson of mine?"
