Chapter 2214: The people here are so mean

Liu Mei glanced at her and said sarcastically, Is the food our nanny made not to your liking, niannian?

thank you for your concern, Auntie, Gu Nian smiled. Ive been feeling unwell for the past two days. I dont have a good appet.i.te.

What a coincidence, Liu Mei chuckled.

thats right. Its such a coincidence. Auntie, do you need me to show you the medical records? Gu Nian shrugged.

She already said shes not feeling well, why are you still jabbering on? Shen Boyong tutted.

Liu Meis face turned livid with anger.

He was extremely aggrieved.

She then looked at her son, who had no reaction at all.

After the birthday banquet ended, the group of people chatted in the main hall.

Liu Mei and Shen Boyongs nieces were complaining in the corner.

sigh, as you can see, our Zhaozheng is so smitten by that little girl. Shes always relying on director Gu and has never respected me.

I heard it too. The little girl wasnt very respectful to you. Zhaozheng didnt say a word either. Shes really lawless.

I suspect that the little girl was the one who encouraged him not to save Xing er this time. Otherwise, Xing er is his biological sister. How could he just stand by and do nothing?

sigh, men are all like this. They forget their mothers when they have a wife. Most importantly, your familys one is powerful. He has the head directors support. As a mother-in-law, youll have a hard time in the future.

In another corner, the men of the Shen family were gathered together to discuss current affairs. Shen Zhaozheng noticed that Gu Nian did not look too good and said, Are you feeling uncomfortable?

Gu nianjia had been suffering from gastroenteritis for the past two days, so she was still feeling weak. She reached out to support Shen Zhaozheng and whispered, Im a little tired. I want to go back.

Most importantly, the people here were all mean. From time to time, she could hear them talking about her and Shen Zhaozheng behind their backs, and she didnt like to hear that.

Alright, Ill let my father know and take you back.

In the main hall, Shen Zhaozheng walked through the crowd and went to his father. He whispered, Niannian isnt feeling well, Ill take her away first.

You may return, Shen Boyong waved his hand.

As Gu Nian stood there alone, the group of elders in the side hall were eyeing her covetously. With Liu Mei fanning the flames, all the relatives in the Shen family felt that this little girl was a source of trouble.

Otherwise, why would the always rational fourth son of the Shen family fight with that child, hanzhi, just to s.n.a.t.c.h her?

Before this, he had never heard of his fourth brother having a partner, let alone being so crazy.

As the rumors continued to spread, Shen Zhaozheng pulled Gu Nian out of the room.

It was cold outside, and the north wind was whistling. Shen Zhaozheng tightened her scarf and said softly, Youre not cold, right?

Yes, Im not cold,

Shen hanzhi looked at their backs and sighed dejectedly.

In the car, Shen Zhaozheng held the steering wheel with one hand and her hand with the other. Dont take my relatives words to heart.

I really wont take them to heart. Youre underestimating me, Gu Nian replied.

Shen Zhaozheng smiled. His niannian had a strong heart. Such rumors would only make them look ridiculous and would not hurt her at all.

In the mansion, Liu Meis friend, Lin Yin, had also arrived. The two of them stood in a corner. Lin Yin whispered, the ye family has been keeping this matter a secret and I cant find out anything. So, I advise you to look for the eldest sister of the ye family and ask her what she knows.

Liu Mei frowned,will this Yingying work?

we have to do this. Were in a very pa.s.sive position now, you know?
