Chapter 27: Rabbits Eat Grass Near Their Nest
Gu Xia stood by the sink. She opened the plastic bag containing the vegetables and wanted to help Ning Anran.
"Go wait on the sofa."
"I'll wash the dishes myself later."
Ning Anran picked up the apron beside her and tied it on herself very neatly. She looked at Gu Xia, the young lady who had never done housework.
The tone even had a bit of the meaning of coaxing a child.
With her long hair hanging down at her temples, Ning Anran looked really attractive. Gu Xia pursed her lips and reluctantly left the kitchen.
"I... can wash the vegetables!"
"Ning Anran, I can still do this little thing well!"
Gu Xia hates the smell of cooking fumes and also hates having grease on her hands. Ning Anran has known about this habit of hers for a long time.
She tilted her head and directly told Gu Xia what was in her mind.
"I'll help you cook, you don't need to feel guilty."
"Anyway, I'm unemployed now, so I'll help you, just like I'm your babysitter."
"How can a nanny let the owner interfere while she's cooking?"
Ning Anran's tone sounded relaxed and cheerful, but Gu Xia tapped the edge of the kitchen door with his fingers, still not wanting to leave.
"Then can I learn your craft while I stand by the door?"
"I also want to learn how to cook, so this should be okay."
Why does it look like a wronged cat?
Is running wild towards me.
Ning Anran turned on the kitchen range hood, afraid that Gu Xia would feel uncomfortable from the smell. The buzzing sound covered her voice.
"Okay, if Miss Gu Er is willing to learn, I can teach you."
"This is a unique secret recipe, and I will only teach it to Miss Gu Er."
Li Ma, who was kicked out of the kitchen, was afraid that she would fall out of favor, so she quickly cut a beautiful fruit plate and brought it to Gu Xia.
"Second Miss, this is fresh fruit that the farmers just delivered. It has a thin skin and a thick filling, and it's deliciously sweet!"
When Gu Xia saw Li Ma coming, he looked into the kitchen again with some hopelessness.
After all, Aunt Li watched Gu Xia grow up. She pulled Gu Xia to the coffee table.
She whispered, "Second Miss, if you really think that the Ning family girl is a good person, you should just wait for her to cook dinner."
A few days ago, Li Ma heard from Ning's mother next door that Ning Anran was going out to find a job, so she and her husband would not have to work so hard.
Mother Li rolled her eyes in her heart. It is said that even a tiger will not eat its own cubs. She really didn't realize how kind the couple was to Ning Anran.
The girl gambled away the scholarship she earned without saying a word. Not only did she lose every penny, she also owed tens of thousands of dollars in debt!
In the past, Aunt Li acted bossy towards Ning Anran because Miss Gu didn't like her and she didn't dare to show any good face to the girl from the Ning family.
He was afraid that Miss Gu would be unhappy and give away his well-paid salary to someone else.
The Gu family is still headed by Second Miss Gu. Her subordinates ask Second Miss Gu about what flowers and grass to grow.
The master and the mistress are not at home all year round, and the eldest daughter is even more elusive. When she comes back, she goes to bed in the middle of the night and has to go to the company early in the morning to get busy.
Gu Xia sat down and felt that Li Ma seemed to have something to say to him.
Considering that in this melodramatic Mary Sue story, Li Ma never betrayed him from beginning to end, Gu Xia decided to listen to her.
It is well known that the villain's lackeys are sometimes more loyal than the protagonist's lackeys. In vulgar novels, the protagonist's friends may even stab the protagonist in the back.
But the villain's lackeys are loyal and would rather die than surrender.
Even if their master is not a human being!
"Second Miss, did the girl from the Ning family not find a job today?"
"Since she wants to help you, Miss, just let her go."
Li Ma is an experienced person, so she naturally knows what Ning Anran is thinking.
There was a time when her daughter couldn't find a job and was anxious all night long, and her hair was falling out in clumps.
She persuaded her daughter for a long time, and her daughter's anxiety was finally relieved.
"If a person keeps something on his mind and doesn't find something to do, he'll eventually get hurt."
Gu Xia knew that Li Ma was subtly persuading him not to act so arrogantly in front of Ning Anran.
She was silent, but when she heard the last word "I'm so depressed" from Li Ma's mouth, she couldn't help but speak out.
"Mother Li, don't say it so horribly."
"Doesn't Ning Anran look quite normal?"
The range hood in the kitchen was buzzing, and Gu Xia was not worried that Ning Anran, who was concentrating, would hear what he was saying.
Aunt Li looked at Miss Gu Er's innocent look and shook her head.
"Second Miss, you've never experienced hard times, so you don't understand!"
"Ms. Ning's parents are simply inhumane. How can they find a good job when they haven't even graduated from college yet?"
"They say a steady stream of water flows slowly, so shouldn't we just take our time to search?"
"When you're anxious, you tend to get upset."
"There's a fool in my hometown who's still taking psychiatric medication."
"I heard it was because he couldn't find a job back then and was desperate!"
Once Aunt Li said that, it was like a faucet that couldn't be turned off. A plot that she had almost forgotten gradually emerged in Gu Xia's mind.
When Ning Anran's parents realized that someone was investigating them, they began to prepare for Ning Anran's marriage.
The ones they picked were all ugly toads at the level of the “Ten Evil Men”!
There are even a few old men who are over 40 years old and have three children at home.
The fake parents wanted to sell Ning Anran at a low price of 60,000 yuan.
"Auntie Li, do you know where Ning Anran's hometown is?"
Gu Xia felt that he had to guard against Ning Anran's fake parents who had bad intentions, so he began to plan to investigate the matter.
These days, she was worried that Ning Anran would be entangled by the male protagonist, and she had no time to investigate Ning Anran's malicious and vicious fake parents.
Gu Xia knew that if he didn't make adequate preparations and acted rashly, he would alert the enemy.
"Yes, they say it's from a county in Fengcheng."
"That place is very remote, but the scenic area is well developed. Hundreds of thousands of people go there every year just for the scenery!"
Although Li Ma looked down on Ning Anran's parents' behavior, in order not to cause trouble for the host family, she did not quarrel with Ning Anran's mother when she was free.
Instead, we talked a lot of things.
Fengcheng.
This place needs to be marked.
Gu Xia remembered it, took a bite of the fruit cut by Li Ma with a fork in hand, and said politely: "Li Ma, Ning Anran will prepare the meal later, you can stay and eat with us."
Li Ma was a smart person. She quickly stood up and rolled up her sleeves.
"No need, Second Miss."
"I remembered I have to pick up my granddaughter from kindergarten later. Her parents are both busy these days, so an old woman like me has to do it."
Second Miss Gu has been paying special attention to the girl from the Ning family these days. How could she not see it?
Li Ma couldn't figure out what was wrong with her second young lady. She was sometimes nice to the girl from the Ning family and sometimes mean to her.
If she can't see clearly, can't she just hide?
After working in this big house for so long, even a nanny needs to have good eyesight!
Otherwise, I would have been fired by my employer long ago!
Gu Xia fell silent as he watched Li Ma's back as she fled at the speed of light.
Could it be that Li Ma also thought that she was a wolf in sheep's clothing and was eating grass near her burrow?!
