Chapter 1236: 304: Go back to where you came from!_3

Shangguan Xi smiled and said, “Xiaomei, from now on, taking care of grandma will be your responsibility.”

Cao Xiaomei expressed the awkwardness of a girl who just entered the city vividly, “Brother Chen Jun, sister-in-law.”

“Don’t be nervous,” Shangguan Xi reached out and patted her on the shoulder, “from now on, treat this place as your own home.”

Cao Xiaomei looked up at Shangguan Xi and bravely said, “Sister-in-law, you are so nice! Chen Jun is really lucky to have married you!”

Shangguan Xi had a pretty good impression of this girl, Cao Xiaomei.

That very night, she gave Cao Xiaomei two new sets of clothes.

Cao Xiaomei put on the new clothes and stood in front of the mirror, then took a pair of earrings from the jewelry box given by Mrs. Wu and put them on, followed by a jade bracelet.

“Indeed, clothes make the man.” Cao Yueyue walked in from outside.

Cao Xiaomei said somewhat embarrassedly, “Aunt, you just love to tease me.”

Cao Yueyue laughed and said, “Did I say anything wrong? Look at how you’ve dressed up, you look much more impressive than that useless hen!”

It’s just that Cao Xiaomei was born into a less fortunate situation.

Otherwise, she would be more than ten times better than Shangguan Xi.

Cao Xiaomei sat down on the couch with Cao Yueyue and said, “Aunt, this is for you.”

She had just divided most of the jewelry from the box.

Cao Yueyue refused, saying, “This was given to you by the old lady, I really can’t accept it.”

Though she said she didn’t want it, Cao Yueyue’s eyes never left the jewelry.

Who doesn’t like good things?

Especially when they’re free!

Cao Xiaomei forcibly placed the items into Cao Yueyue’s hands, “Aunt, please keep it. If it weren’t for you, how could I have caught Mrs. Wu’s eye?”

Only then did Cao Yueyue ‘reluctantly’ accept them. “Xiaomei, since it’s your heartfelt gift, I won’t be polite!”

This niece was truly worth the affection.

This trip to Beijing was not in vain after all.

Cao Xiaomei continued, “Aunt, we are family, you don’t have to be polite with me.”

Giving away so many valuable jewelry was indeed painful for Cao Xiaomei.

But it couldn’t be helped; as the saying goes, you can’t catch a wolf if you’re not willing to lose a sheep.

Cao Yueyue patted Cao Xiaomei’s hand, “The old lady wants face; she wishes to have a great-grandson and a daughter-in-law from a matched family background, but where on earth can you find such a perfect scenario? Xiaomei, now you need to not only win the old lady’s favor but also make Chen Jun fall in love with you. Of course, the most important thing is to bear a son for Chen Jun soon.”

Does Mrs. Wu plan to kick Cao Xiaomei out after she gives birth to a child?

Difficult!

This task is too difficult!

Cao Xiaomei nodded, “Aunt, don’t worry, I know what to do.”

“That’s good.” Cao Yueyue continued, “It’s getting late; you should rest early.”

Cao Xiaomei saw Cao Yueyue to the door.

After Cao Yueyue left, Cao Xiaomei tidied up briefly and prepared to take a hot bath.

She is now a guest of the Wu Family.

Guests have their own private bathroom. The maid took Cao Xiaomei to the bathroom, “Miss Cao, this is the bathroom. If you need anything, just call us.”

“Okay,” Cao Xiaomei nodded, “I understand, you can go now.”

Go now?

A flicker of something unusual passed through the maid’s eyes.

To think that Cao Xiaomei is just a guest yet she behaves as if she’s the owner of this house!

Cao Xiaomei watched the maid’s retreating figure and coldly curled her lips.

She certainly noticed the maid’s unusual gaze.

A mere maid dares to look at her like that.

A maid is just a maid, looking down on others.

Does she look down on her, huh?

Wait until she becomes the mistress of this house, then these maids will surely regret their part!

After standing there a while, Cao Xiaomei finally pushed open the door and entered the bathroom.

After spending the rare holiday visiting all the relatives, Shangguan Xi and Wu Chenjun planned to catch the end of the holiday to go watch a movie.

Just as the two were about to leave, Mrs. Wu came over with Cao Xiaomei.

“Wait a moment, you two.”

“Grandma, what’s the matter?” Wu Chenjun turned around.

Mrs. Wu continued, “Where are you planning to go?”

While changing shoes, Shangguan Xi replied, “Grandma, we’re planning to go out to see a movie.”

Can’t even bear a child and still have the face to go watch a movie!

Mrs. Wu’s expression soured, but she did not show it, “Xiaomei is visiting Beijing for the first time and hasn’t seen much of the world. She’s been cooped up at home these days. Why don’t you take her to the movies with you?”
