Ma Xiaoxiao felt that this flower tea was her hope to get rid of her smoking addiction. Although she didn't know how long it would take her to be completely free from it, as long as there was hope, Ma Xiaoxiao was unwilling to give it up.
Because of this, Ma Xiaoxiao took advantage of Ma Yulian's desire for her to return to work at Regent and got the flower tea she had been longing for.
The fact that Ma Yulian and Ma Xiaoxiao were able to do mischief under Zhou Yuanyuan's nose was of course the result of Zhou Yuanyuan's connivance.
Zhou Yuanyuan judged from Ma Xiaoxiao's expression and actions that flower tea must be very important to her.
Ma Xiaoxiao's willingness to work as a salesperson at Yunyun for the sake of the scented tea made Zhou Yuanyuan very curious. Zhou Yuanyuan deliberately let Ma Yulian take the scented tea to see what Ma Xiaoxiao wanted to do with it.
Around nine o'clock in the evening, Zhou Yuanyuan and Zhu Xiaojuan walked out of the door of Yunyun flagship store together, carrying large and small bags in their hands.
After shopping for most of the day and trying on clothes for more than an hour, Zhu Xiaojuan felt a little tired.
Sitting in the car sent by General Zhou to pick up Zhou Yuanyuan, Zhu Xiaojuan pouted and asked Zhou Yuanyuan again: "Yuanyuan, tell me the truth, do you really not consider me to be your sister-in-law?"
"Don't consider it. My sister-in-law and sister-in-law probably don't get along well. Besides, my brother has a girl he likes." Zhou Yuanyuan shook her head, not leaving any hope for Zhu Xiaojuan.
"Really?" Zhu Xiaojuan's eyes widened, and then she wailed, "Ahhh! What a pity! What a pity! If I had known that someone like your brother would like girls, I should have pestered him sooner. Being your sister-in-law is such a blessing! I have new clothes to wear every morning when I wake up!"
"Wow! Zhu Xiaojuan, shouldn't you envy my future sister-in-law for being able to see handsome young men every day? Is my brother even less valuable than a few new clothes?" Zhou Yuanyuan was furious. What on earth is Zhu Xiaojuan's brain made of? She values new clothes more than her brother? If it weren't for the sisterhood they've shared for so many days, Zhou Yuanyuan would have wanted to yell at Zhu Xiaojuan, "Our friendship is over!"
"Yuanyuan, what is a fresh meat?" Zhu Xiaojuan was a little dazed.
"Huh? This... means my brother is very handsome!" Zhou Yuanyuan quickly changed the meaning of this word that belonged to later generations into one that she understood.
"Oh, so that's how it is! Yuanyuan, compared to handsome guys, I still prefer new clothes." Zhu Xiaojuan was easy to fool and didn't continue to talk about "fresh meat", which made Zhou Yuanyuan feel relieved. However, Zhu Xiaojuan's behavior of "valuing clothes over friends" still made Zhou Yuanyuan a little unhappy. How could such an outstanding brother of hers not compare to beautiful clothes?
Thinking of this, Zhou Yuanyuan rolled her eyes at Zhu Xiaojuan and said, "Sister Xiaojuan, I'm angry and don't want to talk to you. So from now on, please shut up."
"Okay, okay! I was wrong. I think I still prefer the handsome boy Zhou Jiasheng." Zhu Xiaojuan clasped her hands together and made a begging gesture towards Zhou Yuanyuan.
"Hmph! It's too late. I won't accept such an insincere apology from you." Zhou Yuanyuan glared at Zhu Xiaojuan arrogantly.
The next second, Zhou Yuanyuan was "sneak attacked" by Zhu Xiaojuan.
"Hahaha..." Zhou Yuanyuan was tickled by Zhu Xiaojuan. She laughed so hard that tears were about to come out. She quickly counterattacked Zhu Xiaojuan.
"Hahaha..." This time, it was Zhu Xiaojuan's turn to laugh. Indeed, Zhou Yuanyuan's skills were not comparable to Zhu Xiaojuan's. If she hadn't deliberately let Zhu Xiaojuan go, she wouldn't have been able to touch Zhou Yuanyuan.
For a moment, the two girls were in a mess in the back seat.
Xiao Wang, driving, didn't dare laugh. He stared blankly at the road ahead, but inside, he was practically bursting out in laughter. It was the first time Xiao Wang realized that Zhu Xiaojuan from the Zhu family had such a "cute" side. And then there was their daughter, Yuan Yuan, who usually acted like a little adult, but when she was with Zhu Xiaojuan, she spoke and acted like a girl her own age.
After a while, Zhu Xiaojuan was out of strength and quickly begged Zhou Yuanyuan for mercy.
For some reason, Zhu Xiaojuan has been feeling particularly tired these past few days. Furthermore, her memory, which had been improving, has started to change again since the day before yesterday. Zhu Xiaojuan is feeling a bit apprehensive. For the past two days, every morning when she wakes up, she has to think for a few seconds before she can remember who she is.
However, Zhu Xiaojuan didn't tell anyone about her abnormality. Since there was no cure for her "disease" anyway, she might as well enjoy her life while she wasn't turning into an idiot!
Zhu Xiaojuan wasn't staying at the compound today, but at the He family's newly purchased old house. Zhou Yuanyuan asked Xiao Wang to take Zhu Xiaojuan home before turning the car around and speeding towards the compound.
After Zhu Xiaojuan got off the car, Zhou Yuanyuan was silent.
Zhou Yuanyuan has been struggling with whether she should tell Zhu Xiaojuan that she was under a "curse".
Zhu Xiaojuan has not been in good health these days.
In Zhou Yuanyuan's eyes, Zhu Xiaojuan's "Qi and Blood" were draining at a rate more than twice as fast as when she first clung to her. What was the reason for the accelerated "sacrifice" of the Zhu family? When Zhu Xiaojuan's "Qi and Blood" had been drained to a certain point, the only remaining option was to burn her life force.
After spending time with Zhu Xiaojuan, Zhou Yuanyuan discovered that while she was kind and sincere, and despite some minor flaws, her overall personality was much better than other young ladies from aristocratic families. At least she was genuine, and when she treated Zhou Yuanyuan well, it was with all her heart, without a trace of suspicion.
Zhou Yuanyuan had previously ignored the "blood curse" on Zhu Xiaojuan because she knew she wasn't in danger. But now, it was clear that the person who cast the curse wanted Zhu Xiaojuan dead, and this made Zhou Yuanyuan feel uneasy.
For those who practice Taoism, everything they do is based on fate. Zhou Yuanyuan and Zhu Xiaojuan were not close before, so whatever happened to Zhu Xiaojuan had nothing to do with her. Since Zhou Yuanyuan had agreed to be friends with Zhu Xiaojuan, she couldn't just watch her die.
After the exam, I'll find a chance to break the "blood curse" on Zhu Xiaojuan! As for whether or not to let Zhu Xiaojuan know who's harming her? Compared to Zhu Xiaojuan's life, this matter is not important at all.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yuanyuan felt that everything in front of her eyes suddenly became clear.
Xiaoyu was silent, a rare occurrence. She had long known that after Zhou Yuanyuan treated Zhu Xiaojuan as a good friend, it was only a matter of time before she could help her break the "blood curse."
Zhou Yuanyuan got out of the car and happened to meet Zhou Xi who was seeing a middle-aged soldier in his thirties off.
"This must be Miss Zhou Yuanyuan, right? I'm Zhang Jintao from the National Security Bureau." When the middle-aged soldier saw Zhou Yuanyuan, he quickly introduced himself with a smile on his face.
