Return To The Past: I Won’t Choose Humility This Time! - Chapter 986

986 Face Smacked Again

Hu Guo had only bought some fruits casually. Compared to Yun Xi’s soup, it seemed insincere, which made Hu Guo feel embarrassed.

Seeing Yun Xi’s actions, Hu Guo started to speak in a strange tone. “Although Grandpa Zhou said that he needs to nourish his body, if he overdoes it, it will only have the opposite effect.”

“Why don’t we ask the doctor? Maybe this tonic soup isn’t good for Grandpa Zhou.” Hu Guo said deliberately, trying to embarrass Yun Xi.

However, Yun Xi wanted to slap Hu Guo in the face and not give her any face at all.

!!

Hearing Hu Guo’s words, Yun Xi only smiled and replied, “I’ve already consulted the doctor. The things in this soup were also suggested by the doctor, so it can’t hurt grandpa in any way.

Hu Guo’s face burned even more when she heard that. She had wanted to put on an act, but she did not expect Yun Xi to not give her any face in front of so many people.

What was even more detestable was that Zhou Lin had only greeted the two elders since he entered the room. He did not even spare Hu Guo a glance.

Yun Xi arranged the things she had brought over one by one. This time, she had specially brought a small table that could be put on the bed so Old Master Zhou could have a meal.

“Uncle Zhou, I heard you guys talking about me when I entered the room just now. Are you discussing something about me and Zhou Lin?” Yun Xi asked while preparing Old Master Zhou’s meal.

Old Master Zhou laughed and replied, “Yes, we were just talking about you. Hu Guo said she’s going to work for Hu Qian. You must know a thing or two about her relationship with Hu Qian.”

As soon as she heard that Hu Guo was going to Hu Qian’s company, Yun Xi’s sixth sense immediately came into play. Yun Xi’s intuition told her that Hu Guo’s work at Hu Qian’s company was definitely not a good thing. It was very likely that she had come here on purpose to cause trouble!

Although she had thought of this, Yun Xi did not expose Hu Guo. After all, Old Master Hu was still here. If she said it directly and made Old Master Hu feel uncomfortable, it would not be worth it.

However, Hu Guo did not think the same way as Yun Xi. Since she had already spoken, she might as well go with the flow and continue.

“I don’t have anywhere else to go. I’ve left the army, so I can only go to my sister’s place. No one in my sister’s company knows me, so I won’t be pointed at and gossiped about,” Hu Guo said as she started to act pitiful again.

At this point, Hu Guo inched closer until she was only a little bit away from Yun Xi. “Erm… I have a presumptuous request, but I’m not sure if I should say it. ”

Yun Xi could not help but roll her eyes in her heart.

What nonsense was this unreasonable request? Since she knew it was an unreasonable request, why did she still say it out loud?

Although she thought this way, Yun Xi did not show her dissatisfaction because of the face of so many people, especially when the two elders, Old Master Zhou and Old Master Hu, were still present. She only smiled and asked, “What is it?”

Hu Guo immediately said, “I’m a girl, and I’m here alone to work. It’s really not very convenient. I’m not familiar with this place. If I’m targeted by bad people, I’m afraid that what happened before will happen again…”

Hu Guo pretended to be in a difficult position and looked at Zhou Lin as he continued, “My sister and brother-in-law have just gotten married, so I didn’t want to disturb them.”

“But Where can I go…” After pausing for a few seconds, Hu Guo shifted his gaze to Yun Xi. “That’s why I said I have a presumptuous request, which is… Can I stay at the Zhou family’s house temporarily? I’ll leave once I find a safe place to stay, and I won’t disturb your lives!”

Yun Xi wanted to slap Hu Guo’s face and see how thick his skin was!

She actually had the idea of staying in the Zhou residence. This intention was simply obvious to everyone.

So be it if she wanted to stay. However, it was as if she was telling Yun Xi that if Yun Xi did not agree, it would be Yun Xi’s responsibility if anything happened to her. She even pretended to be very pitiful.
