My Demon Tyrant And Sweet Baby-Chapter 18: Shallow probing
Chapter 18: Shallow probing
When she mentioned her daughter-in-law who had passed away, Zhao Zi Ru heaved a long sigh. She couldn't hide her sadness even in front of strangers.
She didn't have a daughter in her entire life, only three sons, and of her three sons, Third Brother was married first. The daughter-in-law she married was the Miss of Ning Family, the child she had watched grow up. Who knew that the heavens would be jealous of a beautiful woman? A year ago, not only had the car accident destroyed her most outstanding eldest son, it had also taken away her daughter-in-law who was treated as her own daughter.
Aunt Lan saw that her wife was in pain again and immediately called out: "Madam."
Zhao Zi Ru regained her senses, and changed the topic, remembering that Zhang Xiao's surname was Zhang, she probingly asked: "Is there anyone else from Miss Zhang's family?"
"Only one father left."
Zhang Xiao replied honestly.
"Oh, your father is?"
"A workaholic who has never cared about my daughter. I haven't seen him for a long time." Zhang Xiao was unwilling to talk too much about her father.
Right now, her father had an outstanding adopted son, Yi Xiu Jie, and two other biological sons who were living happily under his knee. When her father told her to scram after a quarrel between father and daughter nine years ago, she did.
This roll of his lasted nine years.
She resented her father's merciless, indirect killing of her mother. Her father blamed her for not calling her his stepmother, "mother." She was ignorant, lacking in manners, lacking in conscience, saying that her stepmother treated her like her own daughter. She did not even call her aunt.
That woman is not her mother, she just won't scream! "Furthermore, that woman was very good at acting. She was good at acting in front of her father, and good at keeping her father's back. However, her father loved her deeply, so no matter what she said, her father would listen to her.
"Oh." Seeing that Zhang Xiao did not want to talk about her father, Zhao Zi Ru tactfully stopped the topic. In any case, Mu Chen said that Zhang Xiao was just a hawker and wouldn't recognise him. As long as they were not Zhang Hao Tian's family, even if Zhang Xiao's surname was Zhang, Zhao Zi Ru could still barely accept that. Furthermore, she felt a sense of familiarity towards Zhang Xiao, which eased her prejudice towards Zhang Xiao who had the surname Zhang.
"This is?" Seeing Zhang Xiao holding onto a bank card, Zhao Zi Ru was puzzled.
Zhang Xiao laughed and explained: "This is my salary card. Mr. Mou gave me this just now, he said he will give me a year's salary first, so I can take good care of Mu Ya."
"Yes." Mu Ya is my only grandson, we all love her a lot, but this child is weird. Ever since meeting you, she has been crying ever since, and we can't do anything about him. Mu Chen was very busy, he couldn't possibly take care of Mu Ya herself. Miss Zhang, I ll leave Mu Ya to you, I believe in Mu Chen's judgement. For him to be able to invite you back to take care of Mu Ya, it means that you are a very good girl. "
Zhao Zi Ru's attitude became a lot better, and her tone was no longer cold. With a bit of warmth in her voice, the gaze she used to look at Zhang Xiao was also warm.
Zhang Xiao still smiled, "Madam, I will."
Since the contract could not be dissolved, she had been Mu Ya's mother in nanny for the past year. Her job was to accompany the little bean girl in her arms.
After the two of them chatted for a while, Zhao Zi Ru stood up and said to Mu Ya: "Mu Ya, your granny will take care of your Eldest Uncle first, you have to listen to me, don't cry anymore."
Mu Ya looked at his grandmother and did not say a word, but she would wave her small hands, so that could be considered saying goodbye to his grandmother.
When Zhao Zi Ru saw her grandson being so cute and sensible, she couldn't help but come over. At the same time, Zhang Xiao stood up while hugging Mu Ya, so she kissed Mu Ya's little cheeks and patted her head, then said lovingly: "Mu Ya is so obedient, I'll say my goodbyes to Grandma."
"She's smart." Zhang Xiao said from the bottom of her heart. She carried Mu Ya out of the house and arrived at the arched door just in time to stop.
The moment Zhao Zi Ru left the room, her mind returned to her eldest son, and she did not even notice that Zhang Xiao had stopped at the door.
After seeing Zhao Zi Ru off, Zhang Xiao put Mu Ya down and walked back with Mu Ya, bringing her to play in the courtyard.
The young ones were having fun, and Mu Ya's laughter sounded out from time to time, drifting across the room.
Mu Yi, who was sitting next to his heard her niece's laughter that sounded like silver bells. She was clearly crying ten minutes ago, and after she was carried over, she changed into a different person. He said to his mother with a smile, "Mom, Mu Ya is smiling really happily now. Have you seen that nanny called Zhang Xiao? Does she look like Tong Tong? "
He thought that Mu Ya treated Zhang Xiao as her mother because Zhang Xiao looked like him.
Zhao Zi Ru looked at his youngest son's home and gently explained: "He doesn't look like it, but he is very beautiful and sweet. From the surface, he seems to be the same type of person as Tong Tong. I can see a hint of tenacity between her brows that Tong Tong did not have. "
"Tong Tong is a flower born from a greenhouse. Since that Zhang Xiao is a peddler, she belongs to the category of being able to rely on herself. Mu Yi pushed the wheelchair herself, and immediately pushed him, asking: "Yi, where are you going?"
Mu Yi's expression softened, "I want to go closer so I can hear more clearly. I like hearing Mu Ya's smile."
"Do you want to go over?" Zhao Zi Ru asked tentatively.
Mu Yi shook her head and rejected his without even thinking. He didn't like to be in a wheelchair in front of strangers, and she was afraid of looking into the sympathetic eyes of others.
Knowing what his eldest son was thinking, Zhao Zi Ru's expression became dejected and immediately changed the topic, afraid that he would cause his eldest son to go crazy again.
Zhang Xiao didn't know what the two mother and child were doing next to him. She sat down under a tree in the courtyard and watched Mu Ya and Aunt Lan play. 𝙛𝙧𝙚𝒆𝘸𝚎𝙗𝒏oν𝙚𝘭.𝐜𝒐m
As if she remembered something, she took out her phone to call Yi Xiu Jie.
Yi Xiu Jie quickly answered her call, and started to ask with concern: "Xiao Er, are you alright?"
Zhang Xiao laughed: What can I do for you? Xiujie, how is Ye Qing? Could the two servants in Mu Family take good care of Ye Qing? I will accompany Ye Qing at the hospital again after 4 PM. "
Yi Xiu Jie looked at the woman lying on the bed. Instead of replying immediately, he walked over to the bed and handed his phone over to Ye Qing.
Ye Qing asked him: "Is it Zhang Xiao?"
Yi Xiu Jie's lips were pressed tightly together, he did not spit out even a single word.
Ye Qing went crazy.
They had known each other for many years, but this man had always been kind to her.
After snatching the phone from Yi Xiu Jie, Ye Qing immediately complained to Zhang Xiao on the other end of the phone: "Zhang Xiao, can you drag away your Big Brother Ice Mountain? I would rather take care of myself than see him, ask him, without a word, as if I could die if I said a word. Are you okay? Did those two men bully you? If they dare to bully you, tell me and I promise I'll never stop talking to them. "
Zhang Xiao laughed, "Xiujie still hasn't left."
"If he left, why did you call him on his phone? You're asking the obvious." Ye Qing refuted, and asked once more: "Zhang Xiao, are you alright?"
