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

Mr. Zhang and I are no strangers now, but when we meet again, we still seem to feel awkward with each other.

Despite such an awkward interaction, he actually came over to talk to us, but he always stuttered while speaking, and he still looked so at a loss as to not know where to put his hands and feet, and he was even too embarrassed to look us in the eye.

Fortunately, my godmother came to smooth things over: "Let's go, don't stand in the wind, talk inside."

Mr. Zhang seemed to have secretly breathed a sigh of relief, his expression slightly relaxed, but his eyes were all on the face of the girl in his godmother's arms. He looked at her for a long while, then suddenly looked up at me.

At that time, I was walking inside with my aunt and godmother. My aunt was still asking me in a low voice: "Xuxu, is this the shopkeeper of your godmother's house? He looks nice. Do you call him godfather or uncle?"

"Well, yes, he is a nice person..." Before I knew how to answer my aunt's question, I noticed the look in Mr. Zhang's eyes and immediately stopped talking.

Mr. Zhang was still a little embarrassed. When our eyes met, he habitually wanted to look away but stopped. He forced a smile on his face and suddenly said, "This child is very good-looking, just like you!"

My body shook, I was stunned, my heart started to panic, and for a moment I didn't know how to respond.

I know what Master Zhang was thinking. He just wanted to say something nice to get closer to me, so he praised Nannan for her beauty, and then praised me with high emotional intelligence. But as soon as these words came out, something was wrong. It seemed like he was saying that Nannan and I looked alike, like...

The lively atmosphere suddenly became quiet, and my aunt's face froze slightly.

Xiao Ye, who was replying to the message in the back, quickly raised his head when he heard this, glanced at Master Zhang, and then frowned.

My godmother was also startled for a moment, she lowered her head to glance at Nannan in her arms, then quickly glanced at me, but smiled and gave a reasonable explanation: "That's right, Xuxu and Nannan do look a bit alike, they must have been together for a long time, and slowly they looked alike. Isn't this what people say about husband and wife looking alike? They look like sisters."

"Yes, they look like sisters. When Nannan first came home, she was very small, and Xuxu has been helping to take care of her for two years. When Nannan was sick, Xuxu stayed with her all night long. The two of them have a very close relationship. So you can see that Nannan is very attached to Xuxu now. Every time she sees her, she sticks to Xuxu and can't be pulled away." The aunt also smiled and agreed.

My clenched fingers only loosened slowly at this moment, but I could already feel the stickiness and dampness on my palms.

It was not until this moment that I realized something very important.

I was only concerned with making my daughter happy and getting some fresh air, but I forgot that we looked alike.

Old Madam Zhang requested a grand celebration for my godmother and me, with a huge banquet for all the guests. There will be many eyes and mouths everywhere, and if someone else says the same things as Old Madam Zhang again, what should we do?

More importantly, if it was just that Nannan and I look alike, we could still use the reason that godmother just came up with to deal with it, saying that we have been together for a long time and therefore look like sisters.

But, among today’s guests, Zhou Hanzhi must be one of them. If someone says that Nannan looks like him, how should I explain it?

There have been too many rumors about Zhou Hanzhi and I during this period. If something like this happens again, the rumors will intensify until the truth that cannot be revealed is revealed, and a tsunami-like disaster will occur in both his and my life.

At this moment, a fat figure ran over from not far away. Zhang Tingyuan held a bunch of candies in his hand and gave them to Nannan eagerly: "You must be Nannan, so cute, do you like candies?"

What child doesn't like candy? Xuxu's eyes lit up when she saw the pile of candies, but she and Zhang Tingyuan had never seen them before, so she felt a little strange and reserved. She glanced at me timidly.

I nodded at her, and my godmother also smiled and coaxed her: "Nannan, take it."

Nannan then reached out to take the candy and said seriously, "Thank you, uncle."

After being interrupted by Zhang Tingyuan, the atmosphere that had been silent for a moment became lively again. No one mentioned the previous topic anymore. Even Mr. Zhang smiled slightly as he watched Zhang Tingyuan and his daughter interacting.

I also looked at Nannan who was smiling happily, but a new idea came to my mind. It would be better if Nannan did not appear in public later, so as not to cause unnecessary disturbance and trouble.

"Nannan is so well-behaved and cute. Come, let uncle hug you." Zhang Tingyuan smiled so much that his eyes narrowed and he stretched out his hands towards Nannan.

Nannan didn't hesitate at all and fell into his arms, which made Zhang Tingyuan very happy. He smiled so hard that his teeth were showing: "Nannan is so cute! Uncle really likes Nannan."

"Nannan, you don't have to call him uncle, just call him brother. Your brother Xiaoyuan just turned eighteen." Xiaoye put away his phone and walked over, deliberately teasing Nannan.

Zhang Tingyuan just reacted: "Why do you call me brother and you uncle? Xiaoye, are you taking advantage of me?"

But Xiao Ye ignored Zhang Tingyuan's angry words. He just put his face next to Nannan's face and shouted to Master Zhang: "Uncle Zhang, look at me, don't Nannan and I look alike?"

Mr. Zhang had been watching Nannan and Zhang Tingyuan interacting. He obviously didn't expect Xiaoye to suddenly ask this question. He was a little stunned: "Well, it's a bit similar."

I was also stunned. Why did Ono suddenly bring up this topic again?

But Xiao Ye's next step was to press Zhang Tingyuan's head, so that his face was close to Nannan's face, and called Master Zhang again: "Uncle Zhang, take another look, doesn't Xiaoyuan look a lot like Nannan?"

"...Well, it does look a bit similar." Mr. Zhang looked at it carefully and compared it for a while before nodding and answering seriously.

I finally reacted and understood what Ono meant. He deliberately brought up the topic again.

The purpose seems to be to help me avoid suspicion.

As expected, Xiao Ye said with a smile, "As expected, good-looking people all look a bit similar. Nannan is pretty, and she looks a bit like all the good-looking people, not just her sister, but also her aunt and Aunt Zhang. Uncle Zhang, don't you think so?"

Master Zhang smiled and nodded again: "Yes, it is true, they do look alike."

After Xiao Ye's talk, the topic had a perfect explanation. Nannan is pretty, so it is normal for her to look like anyone. After all, good-looking people all look a bit alike.

The atmosphere was much more relaxed, and we continued to walk forward. Xiao Ye deliberately paused at this time, and when I walked over, he gently held my hand and said, "Sister, don't worry. Although there are many guests today, I am here to protect Nannan, and nothing will happen."
