"These two people just wouldn't leave. They kept making a fuss and insisted on seeing Xiao Luo. I told them Xiao Luo wasn't here, but they were so sure she must be. They kept throwing tantrums and wanting to see me, and I couldn't get rid of them even if I tried to drive them away."

The Jiang family hadn't found Jiang Xiaoluo for more than ten years, so how could they find her suddenly? Someone must be playing tricks.

There is no doubt that Jiang Siyu is the most suspicious person.

Huo Yuli said that Jiang Siyu was missing. It turned out that he had planned all this. He thought that they would be unable to do anything if he pestered Jiang Xiaoluo.

"Uncle Tiezhu, thank you for your hard work. I will tell my mother about this."

Zhao Tiezhu is a kind person. Although he has been very worried these days, he was still very touched to hear Liu Huanyi's words of thanks.

"What you said is wrong. Xiaoluo and I are husband and wife. Her business is my business. It's just that I have never dealt with such a scoundrel."

"I see."

Liu Huanyi knew very well the moral character of Uncle Jiang and Aunt Jiang. Bad people will not become better as they get older, they will only become worse.

Zhao Tiezhu added, "Actually, I'm fine, it's just your Aunt Xiaoluo..."

"What's wrong with her?"

"She is in a trance. The Jiang family is driving her crazy. She has been mumbling in a trance and locked herself in her room for the past two days."

Jiang Xiaoluo's aunt and uncle were terribly clingy. Jiang Xiaoluo was trembling all over after only meeting them once, and she reacted strongly when she heard the word "Jiang".

Zhao Tiezhu also felt guilty. "I still have to take care of the company. I can't always be by her side to protect her. If the Jiang family continues to make trouble, I will not be able to manage the company well, and I will not be able to protect Xiao Luo. So I quickly asked your mother to come back to take charge of the situation."

"Uncle Tiezhu, you've worked hard during this period. Just hold on for two more days, and I'll let my mother go back as soon as possible."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

Liu Huanyi immediately said, "Uncle Tiezhu, don't say that. This is what we should do. Don't worry, my mother will be back in a day or two."

"Then tell me when she comes back and I'll pick her up."

Liu Huanyi thanked him for his kindness, hung up the phone and returned to the hamburger shop.

Hu Die had already ordered the meal for her, and the four of them sat together and had a dinner which was not nutritious but very hearty.

Liu Huanyi had something on his mind, so he said he was leaving without eating much.

"Boss, you only took two bites of these fries. It's such a waste. Let me help you eat them!" Xing Zhao took the fries from Liu Huanyi's plate and started eating them, and was hit on the head by Hu Die.

"You'll die if you eat less. Can't you just pack it up and take it away?"

Xing Zhao realized belatedly that he could take the fries home, so he quickly pushed the fries back and said, "Boss, take them home and eat them."

"No, I have no appetite. You guys eat."

Liu Huanyi went out to take a taxi, and Wei Zhou hurriedly followed.

“Boss!”

"Um?"

Liu Huanyi looked back at him, raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's the matter?"

"I just wanted to ask if you have any problem." Wei Zhou rarely saw Liu Huanyi so anxious, so he could only put aside his awkwardness and ask her: "Do you need our help?"

"No need."

How can outsiders help with their family affairs?

But Wei Zhou misunderstood her meaning, "Boss, are you trying to say that I can't take care of your business?"

"no."

Liu Huanyi was about to explain when a taxi stopped in front of her. She didn't care about anything else and could only get in the car and leave, and explain next time.

Wei Zhou was left standing alone in the wind, looking disheveled.

Liu Huanyi hurried back home, "Mom——"

Liu Jin poked her head out of the kitchen, her face covered in flour and her hair tied up, looking like a young girl.

"What's the matter? You call mom as soon as you get home, just like when you were a kid in school."

Liu Huanyi was thinking about how to tell her mother about this all the way. After all, her relationship with Xu Chuxiao is gradually heating up. Would asking her to go back now affect the progress between them?

She was distressed all the way, but the moment she saw Liu Jin, she suddenly stopped being distressed.

Let's take it one step at a time.

Liu Huanyi put down the key and spoke in a less anxious manner.

"Mom, what are you doing?"

“I’m making a cake.”

Liu Jin thought she was fine, so he went back to the kitchen to continue stirring the eggs, humming a song in a good mood.

Liu Huanyi changed into slippers, walked gently to the kitchen door, leaned against the door frame and watched her hum a song while making the cake.

"Why do you suddenly want to make a cake?"

Liu Jin turned around and said to her like a cheerful lark: "Today, your Uncle Xu and I went out to eat and had a delicious dessert called tiramisu. I saw that your Uncle Xu also liked it very much, so I wondered if I could make it myself..."

After saying this, Liu Jin's ears turned red.

She felt it was bad to frequently mention another man's name in front of her daughter, but she couldn't control herself.

After talking it out with Xu Chuxiao, he would come to see her every day, taking her to the park and to eat, as if he wanted to make up for what he had not done in the past ten years.

But she is already a mother, so she is very shy to talk about this in front of her daughter.

Liu Huanyi was very happy.

Liu Jin's mental state has visibly improved, and Xu Chuxiao accounts for half of the credit for this.

Xu Chuxiao healed many of his mother's unspeakable pains, and as for those parts that could not be healed, he let them weather away with time.

If Jiang Xiaoluo's matter wasn't imminent, she wouldn't want to separate Liu Jin and Xu Chuxiao at this time.

"Will you give it to Uncle Xu tomorrow?"

Liu Jin shook his head. "Not necessarily. It depends on whether I can do it tonight. Look, I have failed several times."

She pointed to the failed products in the trash can and frowned in mock sadness.

Liu Huanyi burst out laughing. Hormones really turned his mother into a little girl. She could easily make such a coquettish expression.

The more this happened, the more Liu Huanyi didn't know how to start.

But the Jiang family has come to the door, and if Liu Jin doesn't go back, Jiang Xiaoluo will be taken away by the Jiang family.

"Mom, I have something to tell you."

Liu Jin raised a finger to signal her not to speak. After Liu Jin poured the beaten egg liquid into the mold and put it into the oven, she pulled Liu Huanyi to the living room.

"Are you trying to tell me that the Jiang family has found Xiao Luo and asked me to return to Sucheng immediately to protect her?"

A trace of surprise flashed across Liu Huanyi's eyes, and then he shook his head in self-mockery.

"Sure enough, nothing can be hidden from you."

She almost forgot that Liu Jin could hear her thoughts from the very beginning.

Liu Jin held her in his arms and said, "I know about this matter, don't worry."

"So when are you going to go back? Uncle Tiezhu can't take it anymore."

Liu Jin thought for a moment and said, "Tomorrow."

"But aren't you going to give Tiramisu to Uncle Xu?" Liu Huanyi looked at her teasingly.

"It won't affect me." Liu Jin said confidently, "He will come to see me off at the airport tomorrow, I can just hand it over to him then."

Liu Huanyi rarely gossiped, so he pulled the pillow over and held it in his arms while looking at Liu Jin.

"Mom, what are you and Uncle Xu now?"

"Old friend."

Liu Jin answered firmly that Xu Chuxiao had never mentioned their relationship, so she assumed the situation and played dumb.

Everything was just beginning, and she didn't want to take too big a step.

"I understand. We are more than friends but less than lovers, right?"
