Liu Zhe had intended to ask for leave to go back home, but unexpectedly, his father sent a telegram saying he was preparing to come over in person. At least he was alright.

However, Liu Zhe remained silent when he saw Zhou Mingjiao who had come to see him.

Zhou Mingjiao sensed something was wrong. "Brother Liu, you don't look well. Are you sick?"

Liu Zhe shook his head and said with a guilty look, "I'm sorry, I couldn't keep my promise to you. About that job, I..."

"What? That's it? Didn't you say there would be no problem?" She was full of anticipation, full of expectation that she would make others envious and jealous, but all she got was this?

“I’m so sorry, but my father wrote to say that because I refused, the job has already been filled and there are no suitable positions available now.”

"Is he my older brother?" Zhou Mingjiao asked suspiciously, as it shouldn't be like this.

Liu Zhe nodded.

"How could this happen? Why? Brother Liu, did someone 'help' my brother?" Zhou Mingjiao asked maliciously.

"No, he got in through an exam."

But Zhou Mingjiao refused to believe it. Her older brother was such a good-for-nothing; if it weren't for Shen Banxia being blind, he would still be a bachelor.

Seeing Zhou Mingjiao's disappointed look, Liu Zhe comforted her, "Don't be sad. My dad will be here in a while, and I'll have him find you someone suitable. But you still need to pass the exam." Liu Zhe remembered that he had forgotten last time, so he quickly made up for it this time.

His dad is the kind of person who likes to "go through the back door." Even when he arranged things for himself last time, he had to take an exam.

Fortunately, Liu Zhe has never been afraid of teachers.

In his view, taking exams is as simple as eating and drinking.

Zhou Mingjiao's heart skipped a beat, but before she could even feel happy, she heard the second half of the sentence, and her expression froze.

Liu Zhe didn't notice and continued talking to himself, "By the way, Comrade Zhou Mingjiao, actually, my dad came here this time to see you."

Zhou Mingjiao subconsciously pointed to herself, "Me? You're not mistaken, are you? Why does Uncle want to see me? I don't know Uncle."

Secretly, Zhou Mingjiao suspected that Liu Zhe might not have known that he had said something he shouldn't have when he sent the letter home.

Then Uncle Liu misunderstood?

Could it really be that they're here to see their future "daughter-in-law"? A hint of annoyance flashed in Zhou Mingjiao's eyes. She had just resolved the matter with Zhao Zhigao, so how did she end up provoking Liu Zhe again?

If it weren't for work, she would have turned around and left immediately.

However, she was secretly pleased with herself. She thought to herself, how could anyone not like her?

Liu Zhe was unaware of Zhou Mingjiao's inner monologue: "You know, I faint easily. If it weren't for you that time, I might have been eaten by wild animals. And, I don't know what you fed me, but I haven't fainted for a while now. I don't know if that problem has been cured. When my dad heard about this, he..."

Zhou Mingjiao interrupted hurriedly, "What are you saying? Brother Liu, your father is looking for me because he wants to know what medicine I gave you?"

"yes".

Zhou Mingjiao inwardly cursed, "How could this happen?" But on the surface, she remained calm. "Brother Liu, didn't I tell you that the medicine was given to me by someone else? I was just thinking of trying anything, and I really don't know the specifics."

Liu Zhe scratched his head sheepishly, "Actually, I told my dad when I wrote the letter, but he said that since I've received such a great favor from you, we should also thank your friend, especially you. My dad is going to repay you properly."

Actually, there was something else Liu Zhe was too embarrassed to say: his father's intention was to ask Zhou Mingjiao's friend if they could cure his habit of fainting all the time.

Although he hasn't had a relapse in recent days, he has a gut feeling that he won't last much longer.

Zhou Mingjiao really wanted to cry at this moment. She realized that once you tell one lie, you really have to use countless lies to cover it up.

She couldn't even care less about the Liu family's gratitude now.

“Brother Liu, we’re all friends, helping each other is only natural. It’s not worth my uncle thanking me. You’re too kind. I really didn’t do anything. It was just a lucky accident. I don’t deserve it, I really don’t deserve it,” Zhou Mingjiao said, flustered.

She didn't think Liu Zhe's father was easy to fool, but why didn't she have any related dreams?

If he finds out that she lied to his son, Zhou Mingjiao doesn't even want to imagine what will happen.

Thinking about how I dreamt that I became the goddaughter of my uncle's old boss, in other words, the goddaughter of Mrs. Zhou, why was Mrs. Zhou not in the dream?

Zhou Mingjiao had never figured this out, which was why she hadn't taken any action yet.

Another one is that Mrs. Zhou, who always runs to Chen Banxia's place with an old lady. She knows that her sister-in-law doesn't like her, so she doesn't want to make a fool of herself.

But now...

"Comrade Zhou Mingjiao, you are too modest. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be standing here right now. You are my savior," Liu Zhe said excitedly.

Zhou Mingjiao didn't want to listen at all.

"Brother Liu, I have some things to take care of at home, so I'll head back now," she said, and hurriedly left, leaving Liu Zhe, who had been planning to express his gratitude, completely stunned.

After returning home, Zhou Mingjiao's panicked heart gradually calmed down.

"No, I can't just sit here and wait to die. Since that's what the dream told me, it must be right. As for Madam Zhou who didn't appear, she must have been busy elsewhere, which is why she didn't appear in the dream."

Having figured things out, Zhou Mingjiao felt relaxed.

"ah--".

Zhou's mother took two steps back. "What are you thinking about, Jiaojiao?"

Zhou Mingjiao felt her heart was about to jump out of her chest. Just as she had thought of a solution, her mother suddenly slapped her, and she almost lost her soul.

If she weren't her own mother, she would have loved to slap her.

"Mom, why did you scare me?" she said, her tone still carrying a hint of reproach.

"I saw you standing there blankly and thought you were having a nightmare, so I had to wake you up, right?" Zhou's mother felt wronged.

Zhou Mingjiao didn't want to say more.

Seeing this, Zhou's mother didn't ask any more questions. In her opinion, her little girl knew how to act properly.

"Oh, right, remember to invite Mrs. Zhou. As for the other one who came with her, invite her too. If she doesn't come, then forget it."

"Okay," she was just about to go find Madam Zhou when she remembered what Liu Zhe had said. "Mother, we finally managed to cook a nice meal at home, why don't we invite my eldest brother and sister-in-law over?"

Zhou's mother looked at her suspiciously, "Why did you suddenly decide to invite those two debt collectors?"

Zhou Mingjiao naturally wouldn't reveal the real reason, saying, "Didn't Dad have other plans? If he doesn't come, no plan will be of any use."

After thinking about it, Zhou's mother agreed, as it made sense. Coincidentally, her family needed that bitch Shen Banxia's help with something.
