Zhang Xiao felt that it would be a waste of time to continue discussing the topic of accompanying children with Mu Chen. She stood up and walked up the stairs as Mu Chen instinctively stood up and followed her.

Along the way, she didn't say anything, nor did she pay any attention to him.

Mu Chen knew that she was angry at him.

He did not get angry, but instead felt a bit more peculiar.

That was why she kept on urging Mu Ya to spend more time with the child.

Ning Zhi Yuan had said that if he wanted to marry again, he must marry someone magnanimous and kind. He must be able to love Mu Ya, give him mother's love, and give him warmth.

Isn't Zhang Xiao up to the requirements?

Eh?

He had already told Ning Zhi Yuan that he only had Tong Tong in his heart!

Why do they always sit opposite each other?!

Mu Chen was infuriating himself in his heart.

Zhang Xiao went upstairs to take a look at Mu Ya. Seeing that the little guy had kicked the blanket, she helped the child covered himself with the blanket, took out the remote control for the air-conditioner, turned it off, and went to open the window.

After doing all that, Zhang Xiao silently turned around, and realised that Mu Chen was staring at her intently. She wanted to say something to him, but she was a little angry at him.

Mu Chen followed her instinctively.

After the two of them left Mu Ya's room, Zhang Xiao turned and glared at Mu Chen. Mu Chen returned his gaze with the same deep gaze, Zhang Xiao had the feeling that there were thousands of things that had to be said in his eyes.

Zhang Xiao didn't ask him, because even if she asked, he might not say it out loud. quickly called out to her before she left and said warmly, "It's very late now. It's not safe for you to ride your bike back home by yourself, I'll have Liu Qing send it to you. Leave the bike here, I'll have Liu Qing pick you up tomorrow."

"Thank you."

Zhang Xiao did not reject Mu Chen's good intentions.

When she reached the stairs, Mu Chen called out to her once again. Zhang Xiao stopped and turned to look at him, asking, "Is there anything else for Mr. Mou?"

Mu Chen wanted to say something but hesitated. Zhang Xiao was a little suspicious as she stared at him.

"Zhang Xiao, I will have Yi Fan accompany the customers tomorrow. I will accompany Mu Ya at home."

Zhang Xiao blinked her eyes, and then revealed a sincere smile: "Alright, I understand, I won't come to work tomorrow. If Mu Ya wails and wants to find me, get Aunt Lan to send Mu Ya to my apartment to find me."

Mu Chen's eyes darkened, she opened her mouth wanting to say something, but her tongue seemed to be in a knot, she did not spit out the last word, as she helplessly watched Zhang Xiao walk down the stairs and walk out of the main house. Not long after, Liu Qing drove Zhang Xiao out of the Mu Family.

Mu Chen watched on from his spot for a long time before he finally turned around and walked back. He had initially wanted to break the deadlock with her and had calmly faced her, but he ended up pus.h.i.+ng her away with his own hands.

This night was destined to be another sleepless night.

Mu Chen felt that it was a sleepless night, but he still slept soundly, so much that he didn't want to wake up even when dawn arrived. Her head was heavy, and his eyes were heavy, so he didn't want to wake up. It would be fine if he just went to open a stall to do her business tonight. It would be best if Mu Chen brought Mu Ya along tomorrow to let her take a break.

It was a pity that there were people who didn't want Zhang Xiao to sleep soundly. It was only eight o'clock, yet the knocking sounds on the door were already like the beating of drums.

After Zhang Xiao woke up, she was still in a daze. She didn't want to get up, so she laid on the bed and waited for Ye Qing to open the door.

Ye Qing woke up early today and had already made breakfast for two people in the kitchen. After hearing the knocking sound, she did not need Zhang Xiao to call her to help her open the door.

Opening the door, he saw three strangers, two men and a woman.

The two men looked like bodyguards, the woman was in her fifties, but she was well-kept and looked like a woman of forty. She was dressed in gold and silver, from head to toe, and wore famous brands. She also had an Herm's bag on her arm. It was obvious at a glance that she was the wife of a rich family.

Ye Qing looked at the woman, who raised her chin, and asked Ye Qing through her nose: "Is Zhang Xiao there?"

Looking for Zhang Xiao?

"May I ask who you are?"

Middle-aged woman raised her chin and replied indifferently, "I am her mother."

Ye Qing casually replied, "Zhang Xiao's mother had already died twenty odd years ago, did I see a ghost?"

Hearing that, the woman's face turned green, and stared at Ye Qing in displeasure.

As if she had thought of something, Ye Qing finally reacted and asked: "You are Mrs. Zhang?" Yi Xiu Jie's mother!

The Middle-aged woman was indeed Ling Hong Yu. Seeing that Ye Qing had guessed her ident.i.ty, she immediately understood that this girl in front of her had Zhang Xiao's trust, otherwise Zhang Xiao would not have told her about the Zhang Family. Ling Hong Yu's expression became a little more gentle, as she lowered her chin a little, and was no longer lifted up high like before. After an "en", she asked again: "You are? May I ask if Xiao Er is there? "

Although Ling Hong Yu's att.i.tude quickly changed, and she didn't have any good impression of her, she didn't like Ling Hong Yu changing her way of addressing her after she recognized her. Zhang Xiao had said that her stepmother was a white lotus that was infused with poison. This was only their first time meeting, and Ye Qing believed in Zhang Xiao's description of her as her stepmother.

"I am Ye Qing, Zhang Xiao's friend. Zhang Xiao still hasn't woken up, could you help me find her for something? " Although she did not have a good impression of Ling Hong Yu, Ye Qing still responded politely.

Ling Hong Yu replied with an 'oh', then smiled and asked: "Miss Ye, can I come in for a while?"

Ye Qing hesitated slightly. She knew that Zhang Xiao hated Ling Hong Yu, but since Ling Hong Yu had found this place and was Yi Xiu Jie's mother, she could not reject him.

Scolding her body, Ye Qing calmly replied: "Mrs. Zhang, please come in."

Ling Hong Yu then entered the house, but ordered two bodyguards to wait outside, not letting them enter.

After entering the house, Ling Hong Yu sized up the apartment that Zhang Xiao rented. The apartment was naturally small in her eyes, and could not be compared to the Zhang Family Villa. However, Zhang Xiao had cleaned it up well, and entering the apartment would always give people a comfortable feeling.

It could be seen that Zhang Xiao was a girl who knew how to live a good life.

Zhang Xiao was naturally not in a good mood when it came to Zhang Xiao's happiness. What she wanted to see the most was Zhang Xiao living in poverty and raising her skinny face. Although the apartment that Zhang Xiao rented was not as good as Zhang Family's villa, it was still not bad. It could at least be seen that Zhang Xiao was pretty self-reliant.

This was something her two sons couldn't do.
