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

The sky seemed to have collapsed.

The two sentences said by the girl who suddenly appeared broke the calmness I had been maintaining with great difficulty.

It also attracted the attention of all the guests.

Those gazes were like waves, rushing towards me and my daughter. They were also like sharp and bright lights, focusing us in the center and making it difficult for us to open our eyes.

I've heard the whispers.

"Huh? You know what, this little girl looks a bit like Miss Meng, and also looks like the eldest son of the Zhou family. Look at her eyebrows, eyes, and lips, they look like they came from the same mold."

"It's been a hot topic online lately, saying that Mr. Zhou and Miss Meng are having an ambiguous relationship. I thought it was just a rumor, but now it seems to be true. They've even got a child?"

"Are you stupid? How can a baby be conceived so quickly? And the baby is already this big, it's definitely not conceived now."

"The child is definitely not conceived now, but I heard that Mr. Zhou had a relationship with Miss Meng in college before he returned to the Zhou family. This child might have been conceived at that time."

"If that's the case, then it's really possible! It's only been two or three years since Mr. Zhou returned to the Zhou family? The child looks like he's only two years old. If you add the ten months of pregnancy, isn't that the time the two of them spent together?"

"No wonder Mr. Zhou insisted on investing in Miss Meng's small company, and it had to be such a love game. No wonder the two of them have been so ambiguous all the time. It turns out that they are not only old lovers, but also have a child."

No, that's not the case, stop talking about it...

I wanted to deny it, but I couldn't.

I noticed that Zhou Hanzhi's expression changed from gentle at the beginning to serious, and something was shaking in his dark eyes. Shen Hualan was even more shocked, and then a strong look of joy appeared on her face. She looked at me, then at Nannan, and excitedly reached out and held Nannan's two little hands.

Nannan knew nothing. She was panicked and at a loss. She wanted to rush over to find me, but was hugged tightly by Shen Hualan.

I felt like all my energy had been drained away, and I couldn't even support my body. I staggered, but luckily my godmother and Xiao Ye were there to support me, one on each side.

Godmother was worried: "Xu Xu..."

"Don't panic, sister. I'm here." Ono held my arm tightly. His voice fell into my ears, gentle and powerful, yet seemed to carry some deep meaning.

His words made my previous suspicion even deeper: Did Ono already know?

But when I managed to steady myself and turned to look at him, Xiao Ye was already staring at the pretty girl opposite, frowning, with a gloomy expression: "Sister Xiaolu, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. Do you know that you are just making up rumors by saying this? Can you make up for the reputation loss caused to my girlfriend?"

"Yes, Xiaolu, who told you to say that?" The godmother's tone was also very displeased. She stared at the face of the girl named Xiaolu, and a sharp and cold feeling immediately emerged.

When my godmother is angry, her temperament is very captivating. As soon as she opened her mouth, the discussions in the hall stopped immediately, but everyone's eyes were still on me, Nannan and Zhou Hanzhi's faces.

After the godmother finished speaking, she immediately looked at Old Lady Zhang who was sitting at the main table and said in a serious tone: "Mom, I know that Third Sister has a grudge against me, but she can't instigate her own daughter to ruin my daughter's reputation like this, right?"

It turns out that the girl's name is Xiaolu, and she is the daughter of Mr. Zhang's third wife.

No wonder she looked familiar to me just now. She must be the person I met on Mrs. Zhang’s birthday.

But I don’t even know this Zhang Xiaolu, let alone have any grudge against her. Why would she suddenly jump out and say something to harm me?

Old Madam Zhang also looked unhappy at the moment. In fact, her expression changed when the guests started talking just now. If Jiang Yin hadn't been gently persuading her, she might have collapsed long ago.

She shouted at Zhang Xiaolu with a cold face: "You brainless thing, who told you to jump out? Get out of here now!"

I stared at Zhang Xiaolu's face, feeling suspicious. Is this Zhang Xiaolu really brainless?

The next second, Zhang Xiaolu, who had looked ignorant and innocent just now, suddenly had red eyes and a look of fear, and then tears as big as soybeans burst out of her eyes.

She covered her face and choked up while apologizing to me and my godmother: "I'm sorry, Fourth Mother, I'm sorry, Sister Meng, I didn't mean it. I just saw Nannan and liked her very much. I also thought she looked a lot like Sister Meng and Mr. Zhou, so I blurted it out... I'm sorry, Sister Meng, grandma knows me, I just didn't think before I spoke, I, I shouldn't have said it."

Such a familiar feeling, such a familiar taste.

It's obvious that Zhang Xiaolu belongs to the same faction as Lin Xixi, the old green tea faction.

She is not stupid, she did it on purpose! If she really was stupid, she would not have said such tea-like words, nor would she have said such words despite the scolding of the elders, "Nannan, Zhou Hanzhi and I all look like this."

She emphasized these deliberately so that everyone would continue to pay attention to this matter.

Sure enough, as soon as Zhang Xiaolu finished speaking, the discussions started again.

"You can't blame Xiaolu. The child is only a few months older than Zhang Tingyuan. He is just outspoken and says whatever he sees."

"Yes, and this little girl looks very similar to Mr. Zhou and Miss Meng."

"Miss Meng's aunt and uncle said they adopted the child because they had been childless for many years. But why didn't they adopt the child earlier? Why did they adopt it two years ago? I think the child might be adopted, but the adopted child is probably their niece's. After all, their niece gave birth before marriage, and it would be difficult to spread the news. Putting the child under their name will always look better and will not affect Miss Meng's reputation. It's killing two birds with one stone."

There they are again.

Nannan was held in Shen Hualan's arms. She seemed to understand something at this moment. She raised her little face and called me: "Xuxu..."

But she was interrupted by Shen Hualan, who hugged her daughter tightly, tears streaming down her face: "Good child, I am your grandmother, I am your grandmother, call me grandmother, and I will take you home soon."

Her face was pressed against Nannan's. Her crying seemed to scare Nannan, who pushed her face away with her little hands: "You are not!"

"You are not her grandmother!" At this moment, Zhou Hanzhi, who had been silent for a long time, spoke.

He interrupted Shen Hualan in a deep voice, and then took Nannan out of Shen Hualan's arms: "She is not your granddaughter, Mom, you are confused."
