Chapter 221 Little Green Tea's Performance
I didn't know what she meant by that question, so I replied calmly, "He's started working."
But out of instinctive defense against her, I quietly turned on the recording on my phone.
She asked softly, "Mr. Xiao has been living in Fontainebleau for a while, right? He hasn't been back to Lanshan for a long time, not even for the Chinese New Year.
He used to love eating the dumplings my mom made the most. This year, Mr. Xiao didn’t go back, and my mom kept talking about it for days.”
I'm not sure what her purpose is today. Is she trying to find out where Xiao Shiqiu has been these days, or is she trying to find out the relationship between him and me?
In short, she wouldn't just watch me practice driving, so I responded perfunctorily: "Oh, yeah." After that, I looked at her quietly.
She didn't seem to care what I said, and kept talking to herself, "Ms. Xia and Mr. Xiao haven't known each other for long, so you may not be familiar with many of Mr. Xiao's habits.
He always said before that he didn't like spending the night outside because the beds there were too short. The beds in his room were all custom-made and were 2.3 meters long. Such long beds could not be placed in ordinary apartments.
If Mr. Xiao slept at Fontainebleau these days, he must have been exhausted.
By the way, he is also used to taking a hot bath before going to bed. He would definitely think that an ordinary bathtub is too small and he can't even stretch his legs straight.
Also, he usually drinks a small bowl of millet and sea cucumber porridge cooked by my mother after taking a bath, which can nourish the stomach and strengthen the kidneys.
The old Chinese doctor said that drinking this porridge regularly is very good for his health. He hasn't had it for several days. If Mr. Xiao knew, he would be heartbroken.
I spoke calmly, a faint smile playing at the corner of my mouth: "Yeah, you really do know him well."
When she heard me say that, she became even more excited: "Yes, I have known Mr. Xiao since I was three years old. When I was a child, he often hugged me and always loved to buy me all kinds of snacks.
Our two families are old friends, and my grandfather and Mr. Xiao’s grandfather have a very good relationship.”
Uncle Wu coughed lightly and looked at me awkwardly in the rearview mirror. He explained, "Miss Xia, don't listen to Xiaoqing's nonsense. My father used to be the old man's bodyguard. The old man is kind and has never treated us as outsiders after decades of getting along with us.
Xiaoqing is young and has been spoiled by her mother. She has no sense of propriety. Please don't be angry with her."
I still smiled faintly: "Nothing, just chatting."
This is the first time I heard that a security guard can be considered a family friend of the leader.
If this happened in ancient times, it would be considered a family having a child.
Wu Wanqing was a little unconvinced, "Boss Xiao said that we are his family. Except for going back to the old house during the New Year and other holidays, he spends the rest of the time with us.
Last time he said we knew him better than his father did."
Uncle Wu was a little displeased and scolded softly: "Okay, Xiaoqing, why are you talking about all this nonsense with Miss Xia?"
Wu Wanqing blinked her eyes and said coquettishly, "Dad, Miss Xia has only known Mr. Xiao for a short time, so she must want to know more about him, don't you think, Miss Xia?"
I smiled noncommittally. I knew she couldn't be that kind, she just wanted me to get to know him better.
But I still don't understand what her purpose is. Is she showing off her relationship with Xiao Shiqiu? Or is she setting a trap for me?
However, it is certain that Xiao Shiqiu has a spy by his side. After a short while, he has told him all his likes and habits.
Seeing that I didn't object, she continued, her eyes twinkling, "Mr. Xiao is such a nice person, he really trusts my family. When I was a child, I always thought that house in Lanshan was my own home."
He chuckled and said, "Speaking of which, Mr. Xiao is a very thoughtful person. Since I can remember, I have received gifts specially prepared by Mr. Xiao for me on every birthday."
