Chapter 36 Savior (Second Update) The mysterious person on the third floor was actually Zhuang...

“You know who I’m talking about,” Liang Chaoluo said calmly.

Aunt Yuan frowned in embarrassment.

Young Master Chao Luo's aggressive approach doesn't seem like a good thing. She could probably understand the natural antagonism between Young Master Chao Luo and Miss Zhuang.

But my husband has been single for so many years, and there's no one to care for him. Now that he finally has someone he likes, as his son, I should be understanding...

Besides, Miss Zhuang is a very kind person, pure and approachable. She's very friendly to the servants, and when it's hot, she'll even make them fruit tea. She's truly the most approachable mistress they've ever met.

Although I can be quite hot-tempered at times, it's always directed at my husband... and I would never involve them.

So overall, Aunt Yuan really liked Miss Zhuang.

Unfortunately, she was merely a servant in the Liang family and had no right to offer her opinion on this matter. Moreover, it was difficult to say anything at this time; if she accidentally said the wrong thing, it might cause trouble for Miss Zhuang.

"Aunt Yuan, I'm just asking where she is, I'm not asking for anything. Don't make it so serious. If my dad finds out, he'll think I'm trying to bully his little sweetheart."

Aunt Yuan hesitated before saying, "Upstairs."

“Hmm.” Liang Chaoluo raised an eyebrow, took a few steps forward, then suddenly turned back. “Don’t tell my dad about this.”

Aunt Yuan's face turned somewhat pale after being predicted.

As soon as Young Master Chao Luo went upstairs, she was like a headless fly, anxiously pacing around.

Aunt Yuan gathered the other aunties to discuss countermeasures.

Someone suggested, "Why don't we just tell the master?"

"Don't be like that. Maybe we're just overthinking it. If we relay this to the master and Young Master Chaoluo finds out, we won't be in a good position either."

"...I also think it's better not to say anything. I don't want to lose this job."

Aunt Yuan sighed.

She understood their concerns, and she herself was also afraid of offending Young Master Chaoluo because of this. After all, their fate was entirely up to the master's word.

This job is high-paying and easy, and she also has a family back home that needs her support...

This hesitation cost more than ten minutes.

...

After Liang Chaoluo went up to the third floor, he finally understood what that smell was.

There's a snail rice noodle shop on Jiangda Back Street that smells really bad, so he always avoids it.

The Liang family members cannot tolerate strong flavors, and they rarely even eat scallions or garlic.

Especially his dad...

He simply couldn't imagine that Lao Liang would be so blinded by lust as to accept someone eating snail rice noodles at home.

This was truly beyond his expectations, and he was somewhat angry.

He has never seen Ms. Zhuang eat snail rice noodles at home, so what right does that woman have?

With this in mind, he abandoned all his principles of treating people kindly.

As the Liang family's designated next heir, he couldn't possibly let a stepmother ride roughshod over him.

It's said that having a stepmother means having a stepfather, not to mention that Lao Liang and she aren't even married yet.

From now on, he and Ms. Zhuang will be on each other's side in this family. Since Ms. Zhuang has amnesia, he will protect her even more.

The necessary show of force still needs to be given.

Just then, the sound of someone slurping noodles came from the balcony.

He slightly lifted his eyes, his gaze focusing on the direction of the sound.

Zhuang Fuyao was happily eating snail rice noodles, playing music on her speakers, completely unaware that someone would come in from the third floor.

As the autumn wind blew by, she glanced back casually and was so startled that she choked on the chili peppers and coughed incessantly.

Liang Chaoluo froze, standing there dumbfounded. "Mom? What are you doing here??"

Zhuang Fuyao choked on her tears, looking at the culprit who had startled her, and was furious. "What's wrong with you? Are you a cat? You walk so quietly."

Liang Chaoluo opened his mouth to explain, but the next second Ms. Zhuang grabbed his ear.

"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry."

He was still in a daze. After Ms. Zhuang let go of him, he frowned in self-doubt, his mind a jumbled mess of thoughts.

What's going on?

Why is Ms. Zhuang here?

An answer is about to emerge.

"You two... slept together behind my back?"

"..."

"You two slept together behind my back???" Liang Chaoluo asked repeatedly.

If that's the case, then it's probably Ms. Zhuang who went mountain climbing with Lao Liang. It was Ms. Zhuang who scratched Lao Liang's chest before...

His emotions are mixed right now. He feels awkward about witnessing his parents' intimacy, shocked by the fact that his understanding has been shattered, but mostly he is overwhelmed with joy.

If that's the case, that would be wonderful. No one dislikes having parents who are harmonious and loving.

"No." Zhuang Fuyao glanced at him and continued eating her snail rice noodles.

"ah???"

What's going on? How could there be nail scratches if there's no cover? Oh—he started to realize something.

He didn't need to guess at the brilliance of the older generation.

In short, he was genuinely happy to know that the two of them were doing well.

Soon, his attention was drawn to the unfinished bowl of snail rice noodles. "Mom, why do you like to eat this kind of food?"

"What do you mean by 'this kind of thing'?" Zhuang Fuyao rolled her eyes at him.

After meeting Liang Chaoluo a few times, she discovered that although he appeared calm and composed, he was still a mischievous little monkey at heart.

Therefore, those who need to be taught a lesson still need to be taught a lesson.

The first time I pulled someone's ear, I felt it was a little inappropriate, but now I think it's perfectly fine.

Liang Chaolu chuckled, not saying anything specific, but those who understood understood.

Zhuang Fuyao: "Go and get a pair of chopsticks and a small bowl."

Liang Chaoluo: "Huh?"

Zhuang Fuyao's tone left no room for argument, "Go now!"

"oh--"

Liang Chaoluo scratched his head and went downstairs to get a bowl, just in time to run into Aunt Yuan who was hurrying upstairs.

After much deliberation, Aunt Yuan decided that even if she didn't tell her husband, she had to come up and check on him herself, otherwise she wouldn't feel at ease.

"Aunt Yuan?" Liang Chaoluo was a little puzzled, but his tone was much better than when he came upstairs.

"I..." Aunt Yuan stammered, looking Young Master Chao Luo up and down carefully. "What are you doing here?"

"Get me a bowl."

He finished speaking and then jogged downstairs.

Aunt Yuan was completely bewildered, so she quickly went upstairs to check the situation.

Seeing Miss Zhuang sitting safely on the balcony, she breathed a sigh of relief, but was still a little shaken. "Miss Zhuang, are you alright?"

Zhuang Fuyao raised her lips slightly, "I'm fine, what's wrong with me?"

“Young Master Chao Luo just went upstairs, and I was worried that you might have a conflict.”

"A conflict?" Zhuang Fuyao thought for a moment, "There was a conflict."

The dog scared her, and she scolded it.

These words made Aunt Yuan's heart tighten again. "Are you alright now?"

"It's nothing, I just choked."

Aunt Yuan was still pondering what this meant when she saw Young Master Chaoluo take a set of bowls and chopsticks upstairs.

Liang Chaoluo vaguely guessed something, "Let me tell you first, I won't eat this stuff."

Zhuang Fuyao glanced at him and directly put a small bowl of noodles on his plate. "Try it."

"I'm not going to try."

"Should we give it a try?"

“…Then let’s give it a try.” Under Ms. Zhuang’s gaze, he resisted for a moment, but only for a moment.

Who can blame him when Ms. Zhuang is his mother?

I dare not disobey my mother's orders.

He picked up a small piece with his chopsticks, took a bite, and braced himself to spit it out...

Huh?

It tastes pretty good.

He took a few more bites, each one bigger than the last, until he was almost finished with hers.

"Hey, hey, hey."

Zhuang Fuyao suddenly stopped giving him food, saying, "If you want to eat, order some yourself!"

Liang Chaolu snorted, "Stingy."

Aunt Yuan: ? ? ?

She stared at Miss Zhuang in awe. Was this really not a dream?

It's one thing for a man to be like this; it's normal for things to happen between couples.

But a troublemaker like Young Master Chaoluo…

She clearly remembered how Young Master Chao Luo looked when he went upstairs; he was definitely looking for trouble. How much time has passed, and such a big change has occurred?

She was filled with nothing but admiration.

While eating noodles, Zhuang Fuyao suddenly asked, "Didn't you go to work today?"

Liang Chaolu touched the bridge of his nose guiltily, "I took leave and came back to pick up some things."

"Then stay home for dinner tonight."

"good."

Zhuang Fuyao said to Aunt Yuan, "Sister Yuan, please prepare one more person for dinner today."

Aunt Yuan snapped out of her daze and said, "Okay!"

As soon as she came downstairs, the aunties gathered around curiously, asking her what was going on upstairs.

Aunt Yuan shook her head. "It's alright."

She kept her mouth shut and didn't tell everyone how Young Master Chao Luo had acted in front of Miss Zhuang, otherwise it would have shocked everyone.

……

Liang Chaoluo went back to his room and stayed there for a while.

Although he took leave, he still had work to do.

During this period, he was assigned a lot of work. He had to manage quality control, marketing, communication with partners, and maintenance of important clients.

He works overtime until very late every day; they really treat him like a Japanese person.

I don't know if it was Lao Liang who secretly gave the order.

Despite being busy, he has learned a lot during this time and is now able to work on projects independently. Within the department, he is considered a capable member who can stand on his own.

After getting through the initial stage, I felt quite accomplished, a feeling I had never experienced before. I was happy to receive my 8,000 yuan salary.

After working for a while, he got a little hungry.

The food at home is very bland, which he doesn't like at all and has no appetite for.

The reason I stayed for dinner was because I longed for the feeling of eating together as a family.

It has nothing to do with the food itself.

So, it's better to order a bowl of snail rice noodles now and have some later, and then just have a couple of bites later.

He acted on his idea immediately and placed an order for a bowl.

When the takeout arrived, he didn't take the strong-smelling food upstairs to eat; he ate it right there in the living room.

To my surprise, Lao Liang left work early today.

Upon entering, he smelled a foul odor. A sharp glint flashed in Liang Huaixu's eyes as he wondered what had happened at home.

The next second, they saw Liang Chaoluo, who should have been working at the branch office, sitting at home leisurely eating.

He shouted sternly, "What are you doing?"

"I'm a little hungry... I'll have some noodles." When Lao Liang came in, Liang Chaoluo had just stuffed a mouthful of snail noodles into his mouth and was chewing at the fastest speed he had ever done, while answering incoherently.

The stench lingered in his nostrils, and Liang Huaixu wanted nothing more than to call security to drag the man out. His tone was icy cold as he asked, "Who gave you permission to eat this kind of thing at home?"

“I…” Liang Chaoluo was really anxious. He hadn’t finished chewing for a long time and couldn’t find a trash can.

He sensed that Lao Liang was about to explode.

But he really didn't do it on purpose. He had calculated everything perfectly, and he had plenty of time to finish eating before Lao Liang went home.

But who would have thought that a workaholic would leave work early and come home?

Just when I was at my wit's end, I heard Ms. Zhuang's voice coming from the stairwell.

"Liang Chaoluo, did you secretly eat snail rice noodles behind my back?"

He felt like he had met a savior.
