After pausing for a few seconds, she added in exasperation, “No, I have to talk to Huo Tao about this when he comes back. Look at the teachers he found for Xiao Zhu. They’re too irresponsible!”
Ming Mei, who had been sitting quietly at the side, heard Chen Man’s words and guessed that it might have been because of the Mathematics competition that had angered Chen Man. She touched the woman’s hand comfortingly and said with a smile, “It’s fine if the teacher doesn’t teach her. Just hire a
new one for her.”
When Chen Man heard this, she held Ming Met’s hand and nodded in agreement. “Of course, we have to hire a new teacher for our Xiao Zhu. When we go back tonight, I’ll discuss it with Xuan’er personally and see if there are any teachers in Cloud City who teach well. We’ll invite them over first and make
do with it. I’ll definitely search for more when I go back two days later. I’ll invite another batch from Beijing and bring them over.”
Ming Mei looked up at Chen Man and sighed with a smile. “I didn’t expect you to be so concerned about your little daughter-in-law.”
“Xiao Zhu is my daughter-in-law. Of course, I will take good care of her.” Thinking that she would be able to see Mo Zhu and eat dinner with her later, Chen Man’s tone instantly became happy.
Upon hearing Chen Man’s words, Ming Mei seemed to have thought of something and touched her hand worriedly. She said lightly, “Xiao Man, I know that you love and care for your daughter-in-law sincerely, but have you thought about it? With the Huo family’s current situation, once she really enters
the family, there will definitely be danger everywhere!”
After a pause, Ming Mei sighed lightly again. “I heard from my husband that ever since Xuan‘er got better, most of the Huo family’s businesses have returned to him. Of course, it’s a good thing that the Huo family is developing well under Xuan’er’s control, but it’s completely different for this girl. The
better the Huo family is developing, the more people with ill intentions will covet it. The power in the family is seized, and there are annexions outside the family. I don’t know if Mo Zhu can deal with both the internal and external problems.”
For a long time, Chen Man had been quietly protecting Mo Zhu in the Huo family. She thought that as long as she was around, she would definitely be the one supporting the little girl. However, after being reminded by Ming Mei today, she had to admit that these words made sense. She couldn’t protect
Mo Zhu forever. As the woman beside Xuan’er and the officially married wife of the Huo family, Mo Zhu would face all of these sooner or later.
Chen Man lowered her eyes quietly and thought for a while. She followed Ming Mei’s words and asked worriedly, “You’re right. What should we do now? We have to let Xiao Zhu have some social experience in advance. She will naturally understand more after seeing more.”
When Ming Mei heard this, she smiled and continued holding Chen Man’s hand. “Let’s ask the girl what she likes or wants to do first. If she doesn’t want to study, then stop. Focus on developing a hobby. No matter what she does in the future, she should first make some achievements and let everyone see
her in a different light. After she stabilizes her position in the Huo family, she can improve her other abilities step by step.”
After hearing Ming Met’s words, Chen Man nodded and agreed happily, “That’s a good idea. Alright, let’s do it this way. I’ll ask Xiao Zhu what she likes later. With the Huo family as her backing, we don’t have to be afraid that the child won’t be able to do well.”
The two of them chatted and laughed along the way. Not long later, they arrived at the entrance of the hotel. Because the Huo family’s residences were relatively close to the hotel, when the two of them pushed open the door of the private room, Huo Xuan and the others were already waiting in the private
room.
Seeing Chen Man bring Ming Mei in, Huo Xuan pulled Mo Zhu forward and took the initiative to introduce her to the girl. “This is Auntie Ming, my mom’s good friend.”
Upon hearing Huo Xuan take the initiative to introduce her, Mo Zhu immediately greeted politely and obediently, “Hello, Auntie Ming.”
When Ming Mei saw this, she looked up at the fair, tender, and very beautiful girl in front of her in a daze. The more she looked at Mo Zhu, the more she liked her. She took two steps forward and grabbed the girl’s hand. She said with mixed emotions, “This gir] is really polite. She’s also very good-looking.
The more I look at her, the more I like her!”
After saying this, she carefully observed Mo Zhu’s graceful speech and actions in front of the elders. She nodded in satisfaction and looked at Chen Man as she added, “I really like this girl. Sigh, if only my family had a son too. That way, we can still compete fairly with Xuan’er. Maybe if he likes Xiao Zhu,
she will become my daughter-in-law!”
‘When she heard this, Chen Man pursed her lips unhappily. “Then you have to work harder. When you give birth to a son, you might get a chance to talk to my granddaughter.”
Ming Mei had only one daughter in the family. Although Ming Mei’s daughter liked children, she had only given birth to one after so many years.
“Although I don’t have a son, I have a nephew. Look at you, you only care about your son and you’re not helping our Huan’er to look for someone else..”
