"You can dress beautifully," Gu Nuan seemed to read her mind and replied to her.
Zhong Qiaohui wrinkled her nose, "Who do you think I’m dressing up for? His brother isn’t coming, and he’s not going either."
"Are you only thinking about those two, determined to become the daughter-in-law of the Zhang Family?" Gu Nuan seemed to argue with her.
"That’s because I have no choice," Zhong Qiaohui said resignedly, "I’ve been indoctrinated by my own family since I was little that I have no option but to become the Zhang family’s daughter-in-law."
Gu Nuan ignored her nonsense and only knew one thing, "You probably think being the Zhang family’s daughter-in-law is profitable."
Zhong Qiaohui made a funny face at her: Who knows?
It was already very late, almost eleven o’clock. Gu Nuan was preparing for bed. Zhong Qiaohui was sharing the room with her tonight, so she helped tidy up the blanket and sheet on the bed first.
Gu Nuan took medicine with hot water and exchanged messages with Zhao Mengjin, who was far away in the country, to learn about the situation back home.
It seemed that since she left, the Xiao family had been quite peaceful.
Zhao Mengjin told her: The third Xiao, Xiao Shuju, had not returned all this time.
The old lady wanted to find this third granddaughter but couldn’t.
The Xiao family truly has some crazy genes in them. This third one seems to have had the crazy gene button pressed.
Gu Nuan put down her phone and walked into the bathroom to brush her teeth, when suddenly she heard an exclamation from outside.
Zhong Qiaohui was staring wide-eyed at the hotel across the way that was emitting flames, shouting, "What’s going on?"
Was there a fire?
It seemed like a fire really broke out somewhere in the hotel across the street.
Gu Nuan came out and stood by the window with her to observe.
Soon, the local fire department received the call, and fire engines, police cars, and ambulances all came over.
Late into the night, it was quite a commotion. It turned out that the fire originated from a room on the third floor across the street but was extinguished in an instant.
It was a false alarm.
It was said that a cleaning staff accidentally knocked something over while tidying a guest room, sparking a flame. Fortunately, the hotel’s staff responded very swiftly and managed to contain the fire to a room before it spread, putting it out.
While people outside treated it as breaking news, Ou Chunhua and Mrs. Lu, who were staying at the same hotel, were quite scared. Because the fire happened just below their floor.
Mrs. Lu, who, like Ou Shihua, was a firm believer in feng shui, insisted on changing their accommodations today, mentioning moving to the hotel across the street. Before she came out, she had already consulted a fortune teller, who said staying in this area would bring wealth.
This made Ou Chunhua quite upset internally, and she offhandedly said, "If you want to stay over there, go by yourself. I won’t go!"
Go stay with Gu Nuan? Don’t be ridiculous! Especially since last night, she had blurted out the wrong words on a call from her son, leaving her mind in chaos.
She had no idea how Yanan perceived her.
Mrs. Lu found her attitude somewhat odd and asked, "Mrs. Ou, do you perhaps have a grudge against that young mistress from the Xiao family?"
"Why do you ask that?" Ou Chunhua feigned ignorance.
"I’ve heard you mention her several times."
Ou Chunhua quirked her lips, "You probably don’t know, that’s because my son’s fiancée is her husband’s niece. Do you think I wouldn’t mention her?"
"Such a complicated relationship?" Mrs. Lu was stunned.
