Contract Marriage: Billionaire and His Deaf Wife-Chapter 1106: The Target Is Her (7)

Only Gu Nuan was a bit worried that this guest might suddenly binge eat here and get acute gastroenteritis, so she quietly instructed the housekeeper to prepare some medicine.

Zhao Mengqing opened his small eyes wide, looking at the third member of the Xiao Family: "Third Aunt, did you not eat?"

Kids speak most directly. Xiao Shuju is also forthright and said, "I was abroad for so long, there was nothing to eat."

This statement left everyone at the table stunned.

What?

"Didn’t you have anything to eat outside?" The old lady was surprised, "If you’re short on money, you should tell the family. How can you go hungry! Are you a fool!"

Madam Xiao’s anger was enough to show her concern for the third member of the Xiao Family.

Xiao Shuju was almost brought to tears by Madam Xiao’s words. She felt it was the happiest she’s ever been by being scolded by the old lady. She would willingly take this scolding from her every day. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

"No, Grandma." However, she ultimately did not confide, and Xiao Shuju calmly said, "It’s just that I’m not used to foreign food. Their bread and Western cuisine simply cannot compare with domestic rice and steamed buns."

"That’s natural." The old lady said, "No matter how good it is outside, it’s never better than home."

Whether this counts as the old lady playing dumb, no one knows. However, the old lady should know that Xiao Shuju, who enjoyed a privileged life at home, had long been accustomed to Western dining and did not resist it.

After the meal, Xiao Shuju was slightly excited and wanted to have a drink.

Coincidentally, it was the usual practice for Madam Xiao to have a small sip of wine with meals. Xiao Jianming, however, seemed to have given up drinking, perhaps on the doctor’s advice.

Gu Nuan had someone bring up the prepared red wine for Madam Xiao and Xiao Shuju to enjoy.

The red wine was brought up. Later, it was noticed that the wine bottle was not opened.

Xiao’s housekeeper asked someone to fetch a corkscrew.

Soon, with pounding footsteps, someone ran over from the direction of the kitchen.

"So slow to fetch a corkscrew." Xiao’s housekeeper scolded.

"S-sorry." The person apologized, with their head lowered.

"Where’s the corkscrew?"

"I’ll open it, housekeeper."

The person reached into their pocket and pulled out something.

Xiao’s housekeeper placed the wine on the dining cabinet next to the table, turned around to see if the host had any other instructions.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the person unfolded a pocketknife.

At this moment, Xiao’s housekeeper suddenly turned back as if he remembered something and asked, "Are you new? I’ve never seen you before."

Gu Nuan, being the closest, raised her eyebrows immediately upon hearing this.

Xiao’s housekeeper shouted to the others, "What’s going on? Didn’t I say? If hiring someone, I must personally review and it must be approved by the young madam!"

At this point, the person suddenly took a big step back, revealing the fruit knife in their hand.

Everyone in the house was momentarily stunned.

Bold Xiao Shuju suddenly said, "I seem to have seen this woman somewhere before."

Xiao Jianming’s expression also changed.

Madam Xiao, recalling the third member’s words, seemed to remember something and said, "Could she be from the Liu Family—"

Before the old lady could reveal her identity, Xiaoliu let out a scream. Her previously hesitant actions broke through the barrier, and she rushed toward the old lady’s seat with the fruit knife.

The room was in chaos with a large group of people.
