Meeting her gaze, Xia Zhenzhen suddenly felt a little guilty.
This woman probably doesn't realize that this dress isn't hers.
But then I thought, Xia Shih-han has so many clothes, I probably don't even remember this dress, how could she possibly recognize it?
Thinking of this, she immediately straightened her back: "Auntie, what brings you here?"
"Auntie?"
Chen Yun, who was standing next to him, turned around and saw Gu Baiwei standing behind him. His eyes flashed with surprise: "Miss Gu? Is it really you? You are so beautiful in person, much more beautiful than in the stills."
Chen Yun is also a relatively unknown actress. Her boyfriend's company has business dealings with Ye Sinian, and she came to the banquet specifically to accompany her boyfriend.
Gu Baiwei felt a little embarrassed by the compliment: "Thank you."
"I never expected that you were Miss Xia's aunt. Could I add you on WeChat? I can ask you for help if I have any questions in the future."
Before Gu Baiwei could speak, Xia Zhenzhen spoke up first: "Of course, no problem. My aunt is a very nice person."
Gu Baiwei, who had intended to refuse, was silenced by this retort, and her expression immediately turned somewhat unpleasant.
She's not used to exchanging contact information with strangers, and she only adds people she knows well on WeChat.
Upon hearing this, Chen Yun immediately and eagerly pulled out his phone: "Miss Gu, shall I scan your QR code, or will you scan mine?"
Gu Baiwei's lips twitched, just then the little girl in her arms pouted and burst into tears.
"Excuse me, the baby is hungry. I'll take her to her mother to breastfeed first."
After saying that, he quickly left before the two could react.
"Hey, Miss Gu, we haven't added each other on WeChat yet?"
Chen Yun belatedly realized what had happened, but by then the person had already gone far away, and a look of disappointment appeared in his eyes: "What a pity, I almost added Miss Gu on WeChat."
Suddenly, she remembered something and looked at Xia Zhenzhen with a bright smile: "Zhenzhen, you should have your aunt's WeChat, right? Send it to me."
Xia Zhenzhen: "..." How could she possibly have that woman's WeChat? The two of them weren't even acquainted.
But she had just claimed that Gu Baiwei was her aunt, so she couldn't admit that they didn't even have each other on WeChat. She could only make excuses, saying, "Wait a minute, I'll go back and have my aunt add you. After all, whether she adds you or not is her personal choice."
"Okay, then go back and ask her for me. I'm a big fan of Miss Gu."
This 100-day celebration was a grand affair, attended by prominent figures from the entire Linhai City and even neighboring cities, thanks to the presence of a big shot like Shen Yanqing.
Back home, Gu Baiwei thought about Xia Zhenzhen's matter, so she took advantage of the time when Xia Zhenzhen and Sun Yuehua were taking care of the child to go and find Xia Shihan.
"Shihan, I saw Zhenzhen wearing your clothes today. She was outside saying that she would arrange a job for her at the company every year. At the banquet today, she was busy talking to people everywhere, leaving the child to be looked after by Sister Sun alone."
She went straight to the point and confronted Xia Shih-han.
Xia Shihhan frowned upon hearing this. In fact, she had noticed recently that Xia Zhenzhen was not as diligent as her aunt had described, especially after Sun Yuehua arrived. Although the two of them received the same salary, most of the work fell on Sun Yuehua.
But since she was her cousin, she couldn't just fire her directly. She could only say, "Auntie, I understand. I'll observe her for a while longer. If Zhenzhen really can't handle this job, I'll send her back to our hometown."
Gu Baiwei nodded. If Xia Zhenzhen hadn't gone too far, she wouldn't have wanted to bring it up, since she was Xia Shihhan's relative.
The next morning, Gu Baiwei went to film a movie, while Xia Shihhan and Sun Yuehua took their child back to Xia's parents' home to visit them.
When the two returned in the afternoon, they heard Xia Zhenzhen's laughter and the sound of the television before they even entered the door.
Xia Shihhan unlocked the door with her fingerprint and saw Xia Zhenzhen sitting comfortably on the sofa with her legs crossed, the coffee table covered with fruit peels and sunflower seed shells.
She was still wearing the silk nightgown that Ye Sinian had brought back for her from his business trip.
Xia Shihhan walked over and saw a bottle of perfume on the coffee table, and frowned slightly.
The perfume was brought to her by Yes during a business trip abroad some time ago, and she hadn't even used it herself yet.
"Xia Zhenzhen, what are you doing?"
The sudden sound startled Xia Zhenzhen, and she almost dropped the melon seeds in her hand.
Turning around and seeing Xia Shih-han, she felt guilty for a second, then immediately stood up: "Cousin, you're back? I'll go cook right away."
After saying that, she hurriedly put the things on the coffee table into the trash can.
Seeing her like this, Xia Shihhan didn't know how to vent her anger.
They're family, after all; it's no big deal to share a little something.
She suppressed her anger, put away the perfume, and went upstairs.
When I got to my room, I found the dressing table in a mess, and the cosmetics looked like they had been touched.
The lipstick cap wasn't closed.
The anger that had just been suppressed suddenly flared up again.
At that moment, the door was suddenly pushed open.
"Sister, my dad is currently hospitalized. Could you lend me 30,000 yuan?"
Xia Zhenzhen walked in without any ceremony and addressed Xia Shihhan.
Xia Shih-han didn't answer her question, but instead asked coldly, "Zhen-zhen, are all the things on my desk yours?"
She just glanced at it and saw that most of the cosmetics and skincare products on the table had been touched.
Xia Zhenzhen didn't care at all: "Yes, I ran out of what I brought, so I used some of yours. Sister, we're cousins, you wouldn't hold such a grudge against me for something like this, would you?"
“Zhenzhen, I think asking before touching other people’s things is the most basic courtesy.”
Xia Shih-han stared at her, her tone somewhat cold.
Xia Zhenzhen frowned: "Sister, you drank my mother's milk when you were little. I only used a little of your things, why are you making such a fuss?"
"This isn't about being strict or not. Using my things without permission is no different from stealing."
"Xia Shihhan, how could you say such a nasty thing? We're cousins, what's wrong with me using some of your things? Besides, your family is so rich, you don't need these things."
Xia Zhenzhen's expression wasn't very good either. After she finished speaking, she seemed to remember the purpose of her visit to Xia Shihan, and her tone softened a lot: "Alright, it was my fault this time. I will tell you when I need your things in the future. My dad is in the hospital and needs money. Can you lend me 30,000 yuan first?"
She spoke as if it were perfectly natural, as if it were only right for Xia Shih-han to lend her money.
"You've been working here for three months, and your salary is more than 30,000 yuan. What about your own money?"
Xia Shih-han paid her the highest salary among local nannies, 20,000 yuan a month. Xia Zhen-zhen lived and ate at home and didn't spend much money at all, so how could she not even earn 30,000 yuan?
