Chapter 3350: What Do You Have to Say?
Editor: Atlas Studios
‘Aunt Chen’ was Nian Nian’s favorite form of address. These people were dressed in expensive suits and leather shoes. The moment they arrived, they asked if she was Aunt Chen. It was obvious they were here for Nian Nian.
Although she hadn’t seen much of the world, Aunt Chen knew not to cause trouble for Nian Nian.
However, before she could close the door, Mr. Zhou anxiously tore off his hypocritical mask and stuck a hand in the gap between the door and the doorframe. “Wait! I have something to tell you.”
This way, if Aunt Chen wanted to close the door, she would have to hurt his hand. This was not something someone like Aunt Chen could do.
She frowned and looked at Mr. Zhou, who was unwilling to give up. She could only say good-naturedly, “I’m just an ordinary vendor selling noodles. I can’t help you with anything.”
“You can, you can help.” Father Zhou had finally found this place after much difficulty. How could he let her escape? He turned around and gave the people behind him a look.
Madam Zhou immediately walked forward, wiped her tears, and said, “Auntie, we had no choice but to disturb you. Please help us!”
Seeing they wouldn’t leave without achieving their goal, Aunt Chen stepped aside and let them in. “Come in.”
This was an old-fashioned neighborhood. There was no elevator.
From time to time, someone would pass by the only staircase.
A neighbor passing by saw this scene and teased Aunt Chen. “Another neighbor from the city? I’m so envious.”
After Aunt Chen let them in, she went to get a cup to make tea. As she did that, she said to the uneasy Mr. and Madam Zhou, “The house is small. You can sit wherever.”
When she said that it was small, it was really small.
In the eyes of Mr. Zhou and the others, the two-bedroom house was similar to their servants’ room. They even saw half a string of spicy hot pot skewers neatly placed on the living room table.
There was nowhere to sit in the small living room.
Aunt Chen came out of the kitchen and realized they were still standing. She pointed at the small stools by the wall and said, “You can sit on that.”
Mr. Zhou looked at the ankle-high wooden stool, and a trace of disgust flashed across his eyes, but since he was here to ask for a favor, he forced himself to take a stool and sit down.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Madam Zhou was dressed in branded clothes and was even more unwilling to sit on the small stool. After hesitating for a moment, it was Mr. Zhou who urged her, “Sit down quickly.”
Madam Zhou frowned and sat down reluctantly.
She sat in the corner, afraid she would dirty her clothes if she touched too much. Her arrogant gaze could not be concealed.
Aunt Chen saw everything but pretended not to. She placed the tea in front of them. “There’s only this kind of tea leaves at home. You guys can make do with it.”
Mr. Zhou took it politely. “Thank you.”
Madam Zhou, on the other hand, could not accept drinking the tea no matter what. She placed the cup beside her as if there was a virus in it. She wouldn’t touch it even if she was beaten to death.
Mr. Zhou ignored her.
When Aunt Chen sat down and continued to pick vegetables, he could not wait to say, “Ahem, Auntie, I’m really sorry to disturb you this time. We brought you some gifts. They’re all nutritional supplements. They’re not expensive, but we hope they’re to your liking. Please accept them.”
Aunt Chen’s hands paused. Not looking at the piled-up gifts, she looked straight at him, sighed, and said, “If you have something to say, just say it.”
“Auntie is a straightforward person.”
Mr. Zhou did not beat around the bush and said in a low voice, “My son is naughty and provoked Miss Qiao. He’s going to be sentenced to jail. I tried looking for Miss Qiao a few times but didn’t see her. I heard you’re very close to her. I wonder if I can trouble you to plead with her on our behalf.”
