"Let me ask if she is free on Saturday or Sunday to meet you. But honestly, Mom, what is your purpose in seeing her?"
"I just think she looks kind. I want to meet her," the old madam said after a pause. "I don't know why, but it feels like I have seen her somewhere before."
"Really? Maybe so," Yan Aohan said casually. "Alright, I’m leaving. Call my pager if anything comes up." Yan Aohan did not want to stay long; he had many things to handle.
Zhu Yanyi did not know that the old madam of the Alogang family wanted to see her. She was currently worried about whether to return to Sicheng Town at the end of the year.
Zhu Yanyi was worried because she had just finished calling her parents.
After Zhu Shun Yao and Xie Xinlian returned to Sicheng Town, they did not know that the Zhu family from Zhushi City was already there, staying at Zhu Enfu’s house. Their first task upon returning home was to organize local specialties and deliver them. Li Zhi helped them. Knowing they were going to deliver gifts, Li Zhi said, "Uncle Shun Yao, I think I should tell you and Auntie something first?"
Seeing Li Zhi’s serious expression, Zhu Shun Yao nodded slightly. "What happened?"
"The Zhu family from Zhushi City is here. They are staying at Zhu Enfu’s house," Li Zhi told Zhu Shun Yao seriously.
Zhu Shun Yao understood immediately. He sneered. "They are still trying to get our Ani. Do they really think I am a clay Buddha with no temper?"
Xie Xinlian said from the side, "Shun Yao, I will deliver the specialties to Uncle Enfu’s house. You stay here. If the people from Zhushi City come, it will be easier to talk on our own turf."
Zhu Shun Yao thought for a moment. "Then be careful."
"We are in the same village. What can they do to me? They can’t just drag me to Zhushi City," Xie Xinlian said directly.
"I will accompany Auntie," Zhao Cong said directly. "If they really have designs on Auntie, they must pass through me first."
"Fine, Zhao Cong will accompany Auntie," Li Zhi agreed from the side.
Zhu Shun Yao thought about it. In Kyoto, he had promised Yan Aohan not to easily dismiss Li Zhi and Zhao Cong, so he nodded in agreement.
Xie Xinlian was not afraid of Zhu Enfu’s family. First, she was a distant cousin’s wife. Second, she originally had no education. Now, some said she was educated, but sometimes, people without education find it easier to get things done. So, Xie Xinlian pretended to be uneducated and went to Zhu Enfu’s house with Zhao Cong.
Seeing Xie Xinlian arrive, Zhu Chan Yao was slightly stunned. "Sister-in-law, where is Brother Shun Yao?"
"Your brother Shun Yao was called away by Ani’s godfather as soon as she got home. she said there were some matters in the Azure Sovereign Group that needed her immediate attention, so she left in a hurry. We don’t know when she will return," Xie Xinlian said, seeming completely unaware that the Zhu family from Zhushi City was at Zhu Enfu’s house. She continued, "These specialties are from Kyoto. If we keep them too long, they won’t be good, so I brought them over now for your family to taste."
Xie Xinlian looked happy. "Alright, I’ll leave the things here. You take them inside. I need to go home. Although I bought a sleeper ticket on the train, I didn’t sleep well. I need to catch up on sleep."
"(⊙o⊙)…" Zhu Chan Yao was slightly stunned. she wanted to stop Xie Xinlian, but since she was a distant cousin’s wife, she could not say much. she could only watch her leave.
