Because Rong Dai and Huo i Shu had gone to bed late last night, they got up rather late this morning.
To take care of Huo i Shu's mood, Rong Dai got up half an hour earlier than her and made breakfast.
"Sister-in-law."
Wearing loungewear, Huo i Shu ca out and saw Rong Dai setting up breakfast. She forced a smile and greeted her.
Rong Dai looked at her and put down the bowls and chopsticks. While taking off her apron, she said, "Have so breakfast. I made so dicine to reduce swelling. Apply it as a hot compress on your eyes later and they'll feel much better."
Huo i Shu nodded obediently and sat down to eat breakfast.
Rong Dai did not imdiately bring up Guo Chengyan's matter.
This was, after all, the little sister-in-law's personal feelings. Only when she made her attitude clear could Rong Dai think of ways to help her solve it.
In low spirits, Huo i Shu ate a few bites and stopped eating.
Rong Dai did not force her. After teaching her how to use the dicinal liquid to apply a hot compress on her eyes, she continued eating breakfast and then cleaned up.
She had just co out of the kitchen when her phone on the table buzzed.
Rong Dai slid it open and saw it was a ssage from Huo Shaoting.
With only two simple sentences, it was enough to set her mind at ease.
I believe in you.
Don't let yourself be wronged. I'm behind you.
Huo Shaoting had obviously already learned about what had happened at the He family winery yesterday.
Thinking of yesterday's events, Rong Dai inevitably felt a little unhappy.
Luckily Huo Shaoting knew her identity. With his intelligence, he would naturally realize that was He Nianhao's feelings for the original owner, not for herself.
Otherwise, it was likely he would really get jealous.
She was unwilling for there to be defects in their relationship, and even more unwilling for so unfounded misunderstandings to damage their relationship.
Ti was precious. Misunderstandings should not occupy their lives.
She typed faster and faster now, her fingertips swiftly tapping the keyboard as she quickly replied:
Knowing he was busy with work, Rong Dai did not tell him about Huo i Shu's matter.
It had been two or three minutes without a reply from Huo Shaoting. Rong Dai felt a little distressed for him.
Although Huo Shaoting hadn't said how serious the matter he was handling was this ti, her ssages were always instantly replied previously. These past few days, it took a very long ti for him to reply to her ssages.
He was working so hard. She had no reason to just sit back and enjoy the benefits.
She had just closed the chat when her mother-in-law called.
"Mom," she answered the call and obediently called her.
On the phone, Lu Zheng did not sound very happy, but she also did not get angry at Rong Dai. She just urged her to go back first, then hung up the call.
Seeing the call ended in less than a minute, Rong Dai was a little confused.
She looked upstairs. The little sister-in-law had gone upstairs after breakfast.
This matter would probably make her heartbroken for a long ti.
She had already explained the situation to her mother-in-law in a ssage last night, so it probably wasn't because of the little sister-in-law's matter.
Otherwise, with the little sister-in-law's temperant, she would have already co over to remind Rong Dai not to answer her mother-in-law's call.
After thinking it over, there was probably only that one matter that worried her mother-in-law.
The Qiao family's matter.
She had assisted Senior Zhou and Qiao Wanzhou in breaking through that barrier and bravely being together. She wondered how things were recently, as she had not been paying particular attention to their hot search these past few days, busy with work instead.
To be cautious, she secretly called Mrs. Wang to inquire about the situation.
"Mrs. Wang, I wanted to ask if sothing happened at ho? My mother-in-law called to go back to the old house early this morning."
Rong Dai only heard Mrs. Wang answer her anxiously, "Madam doesn't know. Early this morning, Qiao Lady ca and sat in the old house for over an hour. She said this matter with Miss Qiao is related to you, Madam, and is asking the Madam to have you clarify..."
"Anyway, I can't explain clearly in a sentence or two. Madam, you should just co back yourself!"
Hearing Mrs. Wang's words, Rong Dai knitted her brows and did not dare delay.
She went upstairs, told Huo i Shu, then changed her clothes and went to the Huo house.
When Rong Dai arrived at the Huo house, the look Qiao Lady gave her was full of displeasure, but because Old Madam and Mother-in-Law were present, she could not show it too obviously.
"Rong Dai, I'm your auntie Qiao. You still rember right?"
Qiao Lady pretended to greet her enthusiastically.
Rong Dai nodded. Her face also revealed a polite smile. "Of course I rember you, Auntie Qiao. You're so elegant, how could I forget you!"
Hearing her words, the smile on Qiao Lady's face beca awkward.
She had co to the Huo house today full of anger.
But with Rong Dai's first words, she couldn't vent her anger.
Seeing Rong Dai return, Old Madam imdiately waved her over and had Mrs. Wang bring bird's nest soup for her, seeing that she looked a little haggard.
"That unfilial son of mine isn't ho, and you don't take care of yourself. All you do is blindly worry about other things. You're completely disobedient!"
"Seeing your little face, I'll have Mrs. Wang stew bird's nest soup for you. Eat so first, then keep your Auntie Qiao company."
Although Old Madam pretended to look displeased, the way she looked at Rong Dai was full of affection.
Rong Dai was clever and could hear the aning behind Old Madam's words.
"Thank you, Granny!"
She sweetly responded obediently, then went to slowly enjoy the bird's nest soup at the dining table.
Bird's nest soup was a good thing she never grew tired of, whether in her past life or present one.
Qiao Lady was no fool either, and could naturally hear the deeper aning behind Old Madam's words.
"Old Madam, I have no other intentions coming today. It was my foolish girl who didn't know better, but for the sake of her future and reputation, I hope Old Madam can understand my difficulties too."
"If Rong Dai takes back her ssage and says things according to what we planned, this matter would be easily resolved."
Although Qiao Lady spoke pleadingly, her tone was a bit refusing rejection.
Even if Old Madam would agree to such a tone, Rong Dai would not.
Although what Qiao Lady said seed reasonable, since Rong Dai had promised Qiao Wanzhou and the ssage had already been released with the matter now widely known, taking back her ssage now would be going back on her word.
Moreover, without even needing to guess, she knew what kind of ssage the Qiao family would make her release.
Not only would she be going back on her word, but also being unscrupulous.
"We'll talk after Rong Rong finishes eating," Old Madam calmly replied.
"She's been working hard recently. I'm an old woman who doesn't know what trouble she encountered outside."
"If she made the Qiao family unhappy sohow, you should let it go for this old woman's sake and not fuss over it with a junior."
"Ai...I'm old! I can't interfere with so many things now. Mrs. Wang, turn on the TV so I can watch the news."
Qiao Lady was no fool either and could naturally hear the deeper aning behind Old Madam's words too.
"Old Madam, I'm here today with no other intentions. It was my foolish girl who didn't know better, but for the sake of her future and reputation, I hope Old Madam can understand my difficulties too."
"If Rong Dai takes back her ssage and says things according to what we planned, this matter would be easily resolved."
