Chapter 71: The Daughter of an Old Friend

The brand name is Xizhou.

Gu Xiyue's eyebrows moved and he looked up at her.

She was smiling and talking, with a twinkle in her eye, and was particularly beautiful.

Xi Zhou... Gu Xiyue and Zhou Nuan were taken from their names, but she didn't know whether she knew it or she just used them just because they sounded good like He Tao and the others.

Thinking of the day when she leaned on his shoulder and called out the words "Third Brother" in a daze, his eyes turned colder.

Third brother, the Third Brother Yan in Granny Lin's mouth.

After the matter was settled, Sister Chen said goodbye to her. Zhou Nuan held her back reluctantly, "Sister-in-law, I really don't want you to leave. I don't know when I can see you again."

Sister Chen smiled and patted her hands, "Xiao Nuan, I really like you. You always remind me of an old friend."

Old friend?

Zhou Nuan was stunned: Is there any old friend who is as popular as her?

Mrs. Chen stopped talking and said, "I have to go. It won't be long before we meet again."

After saying that, he nodded to Gu Xiyue and left.

Zhou Nuan was puzzled and asked Gu Xiyue, "Why did Sister Chen say that we would meet again soon? Hasn't she been in Jiangzhou all this time?"

Gu Xiyue asked, "You really don't know who Sister Chen is?"

Uh? Should she know?

Seeing her confused look, Gu Xiyue said in a low voice, "I thought you would know something about this as a former military family member."

"Mrs. Chen's husband will be transferred to Haicheng soon. We should meet often in the future. You will know when the time comes."

Zhou Nuan was dissatisfied, "Can't you just say it directly?" She didn't like guessing like this. She had a mouth, so why not say it out loud?

"There are too many people here, it's not convenient to talk."

Zhou Nuan glanced at the crowded crowd around her: It seems that Sister Chen’s status is higher than she imagined.

At this time, Tian Yanjing suddenly rushed over, saying excitedly: "Old Gu, Old Gu, some people want to cooperate with us, and they are lining up.. Can you believe it? We are going to make it!!"

A red Santana sped along the newly built Nanhai Avenue. An elegant middle-aged woman looked out the window at the buildings under construction and sighed, "I didn't expect Haicheng to develop so fast. Jiangzhou is lagging far behind."

The people here are all influenced by Hong Kong Island in terms of their mental appearance, dress and thoughts. Who would have thought that this was just a small fishing village not long ago.

"There are rich and poor everywhere, and the same is true in Haicheng. Our Jiangzhou will also get better in the future." The driver replied.

"Indeed, Haicheng will develop first, and things will get better and better in the future." Chen Yan, or Mrs. Chen as Zhou Nuan called her, nodded.

The two stopped talking, and suddenly the driver seemed to remember something, "By the way, I heard that the Ji family is also in Haicheng, and they opened a factory called Huashun. I heard that it's doing pretty well. Do you want to go over and take a look?"

The relaxed look between Chen Yan's brows froze, as if she had recalled some bad things in the past. Her tone turned cold, "Forget it, I won't go to see it."

The driver carefully watched her expression in the rearview mirror and advised, "In fact, you have always been worried about Miss Ji. Why don't you go over and take a look? She might have changed after so many years."

"She was so cruel just for a doll. If I hadn't arrived early, the little girl would have been strangled to death. People say that a person's character can be seen at the age of three. The character of a girl who is almost ten years old is already set. Do you think she can really change?"

“…”

"Sometimes I really doubt if she is really the daughter of my old friend. Her whole family, parents and brothers are all first-class good people, pure and brave, willing to sacrifice themselves to save others. Even her biological mother was a chaste woman. Why is it that when it comes to her, her personality has completely changed, selfish and willful, and her methods are vicious... I am really disappointed in her."

"Perhaps the Ji family couple dotes on her too much. I heard that they treat her better than their own children. They should treat her well, because Memorial Mountain has gained a lot of benefits with her."

Chen Yan's eyes were cold, "They are nice to her? They are nice to her for a purpose."

It's not that she hadn't thought about taking the child back to raise and correct her bad temper, but Ji Huayan ran away when she saw her serious teachings, refused to listen, refused to change, and finally went on a hunger strike. In addition, the people at Jilin Mountain were unwilling to let go, so she had no choice but to send her back to the Ji family.

In the blink of an eye, they haven't seen each other for more than ten years. But when she thought of the little girl who was less than ten years old staring at another girl with jealous and hateful eyes, the ruthlessness in her eyes made her, who was used to seeing many ups and downs, feel a chill in her heart.

"Forget it, let's talk about this later. After Lao Zhao is transferred here, he will have more time in Haicheng."

The fashion show ended successfully. In addition to the batch of clothes that were sold out due to breach of contract, there were many more orders, some of which were for her cheongsam. Zhou Nuan started to get busy and invited craftsmen such as Zeng Zhuang to be consultants. She was busy selecting materials and monitoring the quality.

Gu Xiyue went to follow up on equipment and other matters. Although the two were in the same space, they had very little time to meet.

During this period, Old Man Fan had come to cause trouble, and he was followed by people from the Hong Kong Island Company, who turned the tables and said that they had breached the contract first, and asked them to compensate for the losses of their own company. He also wanted to get other people to give false testimony for him. However, his behavior was too bad, and everyone had long been fed up with him. No one helped him, and instead they all told him everything he had done in the past two years.

The people in the Hong Kong company then realized that he had been discrediting the company and the people in Hong Kong. They were so ashamed that they fired him on the spot. However, considering that he had served the company for many years, they still gave him a pension, but the amount was not much. Old man Fan was not convinced and made a scene several more times.

After everything was on track, Haicheng finally entered autumn and the weather gradually became cooler.

She returned home early that day, which was rare. Su Hang was not there. He had already successfully enrolled in school with the help of Zhang Xi's lover.

The new helper, Auntie Li, opened the door for her and smiled kindly, "Madam, you're back."

Auntie Li was also introduced by Zhang Xi. She was a local and spoke Cantonese, but she was diligent and sensible. She was very satisfied with her. The only thing was that Auntie Li was influenced by the old times and always called her "Madam", which made her very uncomfortable.

"Aunt Li, just call me Zhou Nuan, or you can call me Xiao Zhou." She couldn't accept the term "Madam" or something like that. Even her own queen-like mother called the nanny "Sister Meimei" because her mother was afraid that calling her too old sounded.

"Yes, ma'am."

Zhou Nuan: “…” Okay, let’s change it slowly.

"Where's my mother?"

"The old lady is greeting guests."

Guests? Guests at home?

Zhou Nuan was a little surprised and walked in quickly.

In the living room, Qin Yuezhi was sitting with an awkward look on her face, and opposite her sat a familiar figure.

Seeing her coming back, Zhang Xi stood up, his expression unnatural, "Xiao Nuan."
