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

Old Mrs. Zhang is a kind and shrewd person. I not only heard this from Wu Ling, but also saw it the first time I saw this old lady.

The huge fortune of the Zhang family was saved by the old lady. She was much smarter and wiser than her son, Master Zhang.

But I didn’t expect that the old lady would ask me such a question, which completely confused me.

Mr. Zhang doesn't like me. I guess the reason is that he looks down on me and is afraid that I will marry into the Zhang family through Madam Zhang Si and climb up the high branch of the Zhang family.

But why did Old Lady Zhang ask me directly whether I liked Zhang Tingyuan?

Does she really like me and intend to bring me and Zhang Tingyuan together, or is she deliberately testing whether I have any improper thoughts about Zhang Tingyuan and the Zhang family?

I guess it's the latter.

So I smiled even more embarrassedly: "Madam, you are too polite. Xiaoyuan is a very nice person. We have always been good friends..."

Before she finished speaking, the smile on Mrs. Zhang's face froze slightly, and she looked a little disappointed.

My heart skipped a beat. Although I didn't finish my words, my meaning was already expressed: Zhang Tingyuan and I are just good friends, and I have no other thoughts.

But why is she still unhappy? Does she think I shouldn't even be friends with Zhang Tingyuan?

If I can keep Xiaoyuan and I farther away so that she and Master Zhang can feel at ease and Madam Zhang Si can feel less pressured, I am willing to do so.

However, before I could express this idea, a voice interrupted the communication between me and Mrs. Zhang.

"Madam Zhang, I'm sorry to bother you. I want to ask you something." It was Zhou Hanzhi. He walked over without knowing when, but Lin Xixi was no longer beside him.

He walked towards Old Lady Zhang with a smile, his eyes swept across my face, and finally stopped at Old Lady Zhang's face. He said politely: "My old lady always has trouble sleeping. I have checked many times but can't find the reason. I heard that you had the same problem before. I want to ask you for help. What good medicine did you use to cure it?"

He interrupted the conversation between me and Old Lady Zhang so suddenly, which was a bit rude. I heard Zhang Tingyuan snort in dissatisfaction: "What's wrong with this Mr. Zhou? Didn't he see that my grandmother was talking to my sister about something important? He just barged in and talked. He has no manners at all."

I was actually very glad that Zhou Hanzhi intervened, because I was a little flustered and nervous at the moment, and didn't know how to reassure Old Lady Zhang. With his intervention, I could take the opportunity to avoid this problem.

"You said you can't sleep well. That's easy to solve. Just change to a good pillow. My young wife makes pillows with a lot of dried flowers and medicinal herbs stuffed inside. Just ask her to send one to your old lady later." Old Mrs. Zhang answered Zhou Hanzhi very kindly.

Zhou Hanzhi nodded, and smiled at Madam Zhang Si, "So Madam Zhang's secret recipe is the pillow that Madam Zhang Si carefully prepared. Then I will shamelessly ask Madam Zhang Si for one."

"You don't have to beg me shamelessly. I'll have someone send it to Old Madam Zhou later." Madam Zhang Si didn't smile at Zhou Hanzhi, but she didn't look upset either. Her tone was light.

While a few people were talking, I quietly stood up and prepared to slip away.

Unexpectedly, as soon as my buttocks left the chair, my wrist was pulled by someone, and then my body was pushed back into the chair. Old Mrs. Zhang said anxiously: "Xuxu, where are you going, kid? You haven't answered my question yet. Do you like my fat grandson? If you like him, can you be our daughter-in-law?"

No, hasn’t this matter been put to rest? Why is Old Lady Zhang holding on to me and refusing to let go?

I was stunned and looked at Mrs. Zhang in surprise.

Old Lady Zhang's face was filled with anticipation and excitement: "Xuxu, you didn't say anything, so you agreed, right? That's perfect. Today is my lucky day. Let's just settle the matter between you and Xiaoyuan, okay?"

My eyes widened.

What does Mrs. Zhang mean by this? Doesn’t she not like me and Zhang Tingyuan to be too close? Why is she so anxious to settle our relationship?

"Okay, then it's settled. It's really a double blessing for our Zhang family today." While I was stunned, Mrs. Zhang actually took action. She also urged Mrs. Zhang, who was also stunned, "Why are you still standing there? Whoever gets such a good child will be blessed. Hurry up and prepare the things. Let's settle this matter today."

"No, madam, this can't happen..." I was finally sure that Mrs. Zhang was not testing me at all. Her words were all literal. She really wanted to match me with Zhang Tingyuan.

Mrs. Zhang Si also recovered from her shock and quickly stopped the excited and excited Old Lady Zhang: "Old Lady, this won't work. Xuxu can't..."

I saw Zhou Hanzhi in front of me also had a gloomy face, frowned, and seemed to be about to speak.

Only Zhang Tingyuan on the side smiled so much that his eyes curved into crescent shapes.

At this moment, a figure suddenly rushed in, and directly took action, pulling away the hand that Old Lady Zhang was holding on to me: "Grandma Zhang, don't you say every day that you love me the most? Why are you helping Xiaoyuan snatch my wife now?"

He held my hand tightly, protecting me behind him, his eyes full of anger: "This is my wife! The wife who drank my jar of Zhuangyuanhong! You can't snatch her from me!"

I looked closely and saw that the man rushing over was Yuan Tianye. He must have just arrived at the Zhang family. He was out of breath, his gray hair was messy, and he was holding a gift box in his other hand.

No one expected Ono to appear suddenly, and at this time.

Madam Zhang Si and I both breathed a sigh of relief. Zhou Hanzhi frowned even more tightly, but he pursed his lips and said nothing. However, his deep eyes were fixed on my hand that was held by Yuan Tianye.

Only Zhang Tingyuan rolled his eyes and muttered, "You run pretty fast, kid."

"I knew it was you who was doing this on purpose. If I hadn't been careful enough to call Sister Wu to confirm, I wouldn't have known that my sister and her had already arrived at the Zhang family. Xiaoyuan, you're such a thief with such an axe to grind, you bastard!" Yuan Tianye angrily scolded Zhang Tingyuan.

Old Mrs. Zhang was surprised. She looked back and forth between me and Yuan Tianye. After a long while, she asked, "Xiaoye, after all this fuss, did you manage to get Xuxu?"

She frowned again and sighed, "What a pity, I acted too late. I like good and sensible girls like Xuxu. I was thinking of finding one for my Xiaoyuan, but I didn't expect you, Xiaoye, got there first."
