Chapter 295: Never Seen Such A Thick-Skinned Person! (5)
Butler Zhang’s smile stiffened and he stared at Mo Xiyan in shock. Pointing at her with a trembling finger, he spluttered, “You… you… Miss… Miss Mo?”
It was only right for him to be shocked, because Mo Xiyan had shown up too abruptly!
She was the person who left ruthlessly four years ago and made Rong Yan…
Didn’t Madam ask me to receive Young Madam and Young Master Rong?
Why is Mo Xiyan the one who alighted instead!?!
His mind was filled with questions but he soon recovered from the shock and put on a presentable smile. “Miss Mo, you’re still as pretty as you were four years ago.”
“Here’s a token of mine for Auntie and Grandpa.” Mo Xiyan then handed Uncle Zhang some tonics and health supplements that she had bought beforehand.
After they were done exchanging polite greetings, Luo Anning alighted from the car, giving Butler Zhang a great shock. He was stuck in a dilemma and had no idea if he should accept the health supplements.
He suddenly felt extremely awkward.
Luo Anning pretended not to see Butler Zhang’s awkwardness and bowed slightly. “Sorry to have made you wait, Butler Zhang.”
Stunned by her politeness, Uncle Zhang smiled and said, “Not at all, Young Madam. It’s only been a short while.”
When Rong Yan alighted, he exuded a formidable aura which made Butler Zhang shocked once again.
Holding the health supplements which were just like bombs waiting to go off, Butler Zhang entered and fearfully informed Old Mr. Rong and Jiang Peihua of the matter.
Jiang Peihua dropped her teacup on the ground with a loud thud and exclaimed in astonishment, “What!?! You mean Mo Xiyan is back? She arrived with the rascal and La.s.s Anning!?!”
Butler Zhang nodded indifferently and explained, “Yes, Madam, Miss Mo is back, and she also brought some supplements for you and Old Master.”
“Hmph!” Jiang Peihua’s face grew sullen and she barked, “We don’t need those supplements of hers. Throw them away!”
“Madam, well… ” Butler Zhang murmured, seemingly stuck in a spot.
When the three of them entered, they were greeted with the sight of Jiang Peihua’s stern and solemn expression.
Luo Anning had never seen such a stern side to the benevolent and kind Jiang Peihua before and hence, was rather shocked.
After all, Jiang Peihua was a wealthy heiress and would definitely be stern and furious when she threw a fit, regardless of how mild-mannered and benevolent she may be during usual times.
Mo Xiyan bowed to Jiang Peihua and said, “Auntie, I haven’t seen you for a long time. I’m taking the liberty to impose on you today. Please don’t be too surprised.”
Jiang Peihua humphed coldly and said, “Since you know you’re imposing on me, don’t come here. No one here welcomes you.”
Mo Xiyan’s face turned pale, and her eyes were full of feelings of embarra.s.sment. Luo Anning smiled and said, “Mother, sorry to keep you waiting.”
“Anning, you are here! Come and sit with your mother,” Jiang Peihua said to Luo Anning, returning to her usual benevolent temperament.
She enthusiastically welcomed Luo Anning, a stark contrast to the way she treated Mo Xiyan.
Luo Anning finally felt a little comforted because at least Jiang Peihua was on her side. That was all she needed.
She obediently walked over and sat down, after which Jiang Peihua immediately touched her head affectionately.
