Chapter 268 Sun Xiuhua's Embarrassment

Upon hearing Chu Mingzhou's words, Hong Xiu and Sun Xiuhua exchanged another wave of touched glances.

Huang Meixia accepted the medicinal wine and the plum blossom bonsai, her smile becoming even more approachable.

"You are all good boys."

Then she grabbed the daughter who was teasing her younger brother, pinched her, and said.

"Lulu, why don't you invite your classmate over for a visit?"

Zhou Menglu turned her head and met her mother's cold eyes. She shrank back and said.

"Okay... okay."

Upon seeing this, Su Nuannuan and the others all laughed.

It's true that one thing brings down another thing.

They originally thought Zhou Menglu was the boss at home, second only to her, but they never expected that Huang Meixia was also above her to suppress her.

After speaking with Zhou Menglu, Huang Meixia immediately put on a gentle smile and addressed everyone.

"I'm taking Xiaobao out. You all have a good time at home today. Let Aunt Wang and Aunt Hua take good care of you."

Su Nuannuan and the others nodded obediently.

Hearing that Huang Meixia was going out, Hong Xiu and Sun Xiuhua both breathed a sigh of relief.

They felt somewhat uncomfortable if Zhou Menglu's mother was home. This was especially true for Sun Xiuhua, whose mother worked as a nanny for the Zhou family.

After hearing this, Zhou Menglu waved her hand at Huang Meixia and said.

"Bye-bye, Mom."

After Huang Meixia left, Wang Ma and Aunt Hua came out.

Wang Ma is Sun Xiuhua's mother, and Aunt Hua is the nanny who watched Zhou Menglu grow up.

The two had met Su Nuannuan and Hong Xiu when Zhou Menglu started school.

Aunt Hua was very happy that Zhou Menglu had so many friends.

Zhou Menglu treats him like her own child, having watched him grow up since he was little, so of course she wants him to be happy every day.

In England, Aunt Hua knew that Zhou Menglu had no friends.

On her first day back in China for school, she had a bad relationship with her roommates.

Aunt Hua was initially worried that Zhou Menglu would be bullied at school. After all, Su Nuannuan didn't seem like the type to suffer in silence.

Now, seeing these people become good friends, Aunt Hua is both surprised and happy.

As someone who has been through it all, she could tell that these people had pure eyes and were all good kids.

With this filter in mind, Aunt Hua's attitude towards Su Nuannuan and the others became even more friendly.

Unlike Aunt Hua, Wang Ma first glared at Sun Xiuhua, then looked at Su Nuannuan and the others with a scrutinizing gaze, as if evaluating a product.

This offended all of them.

Su Nuannuan felt somewhat uncomfortable. However, because the other party was Sun Xiuhua's mother, she did not show it.

Since Wang Ma came out, Sun Xiuhua has kept her head down and her mood has become very low.

Su Nuannuan could sense Sun Xiuhua's sadness, but she had no reason to say anything.

She had no choice but to say it to Zhou Menglu.

"Oh, Miss, please show us around your house."

Seeing this, Aunt Hua said to Zhou Menglu.

"Lulu, Xiao Wang and I will go prepare some food for you. You go and play with your classmates."

Zhou Menglu nodded, grabbed Aunt Hua's arm, and said coquettishly.

"Aunt Hua, thank you for your hard work."

Although Aunt Hua was the Zhou family's nanny, Zhou Menglu treated her like her second mother. She was never too polite to her, but she also never let her work too hard.

Wang Ma was hired by Zhou Menglu's father to assist Aunt Hua.

Aunt Hua tapped Zhou Menglu's nose and said.

"You."

The intimacy in his tone was unmistakable.

Afterwards, Aunt Hua took Wang Ma and prepared to leave.

As they passed Sun Xiuhua, Wang Ma grabbed Sun Xiuhua's arm and said with a smile.

"Xiuhua, if you're free, come help Mom with some chores in the kitchen."

After Wang Ma spoke, the surroundings fell silent.

Su Nuannuan and the others looked at Sun Xiuhua, who had her head down, and Wang Ma, who was holding onto Sun Xiuhua tightly, their eyes filled with undisguised astonishment. Sun Xiuhua felt extremely embarrassed at that moment.

She wasn't embarrassed because her mother was working as a nanny in Zhou Menglu's house, but because of her mother's attitude towards her.

The moment she saw her mother, she knew that the other woman was definitely not going to behave herself.

Sure enough, it's here now.

Despite the debt of gratitude she had received for raising her for over a decade, Sun Xiuhua still agreed to Wang Ma's request.

"Okay, Mom, I'll be there in a bit."

Sun Xiuhua wanted to talk to Su Nuannuan and the others first before going over.

However, Wang Ma misunderstood Sun Xiuhua, thinking that the other party was unwilling to help her.

Instantly, she became somewhat sarcastic, her voice sharp.

"Go now! I'm your mother, and I can't control you anymore!"

Su Nuannuan and the others frowned when they heard Wang Ma's unreasonable words.

Seeing Wang Ma's attitude towards Sun Xiuhua, the group felt sorry for her.

Su Nuannuan recalled the first time they met at the beginning of the school year, when Wang Ma's attitude towards Sun Xiuhua was also extremely hostile.

Moreover, Wang Ma made no attempt to hide her wickedness towards Sun Xiuhua.

Su Nuannuan felt that Wang Ma must be responsible for Sun Xiuhua's timid and silent personality.

Sun Xiuhua's face turned even worse, but her feet seemed to be welded to the ground. For the first time, she defied her mother's wishes and did not move an inch.

Seeing this, Wang Ma immediately pinched Sun Xiuhua.

Unlike Huang Meixia's feigned pinching of Zhou Menglu, Wang Ma used real force, causing Sun Xiuhua to gasp in pain.

Seeing that Wang Ma was going too far, Su Nuannuan quickly stepped forward and, together with Hong Xiu, separated Wang Ma from Sun Xiuhua on either side.

Then, Su Nuannuan gave Zhou Menglu a wink.

Zhou Menglu hesitated for a moment, glanced at Aunt Hua, and finally spoke.

"Wang Ma, I need to talk to Xiuhua about something. You and Aunt Hua can go ahead with your business."

After saying that, she left with Su Nuannuan and the others.

Su Nuannuan and Hong Xiu each pulled Sun Xiuhua along, one on each side.

After this incident, no one was in the mood to visit Zhou Menglu's house, so they went to the living room.

The group fell silent for a moment.

It was Zhou Menglu who spoke first.

"Sigh, although I managed to get Xiuhua out of Wang Ma's way today, she'll definitely get a much worse beating when she gets back."

Upon hearing this, Su Nuannuan's eyes flashed with realization.

No wonder Zhou Menglu hesitated so much when she was taking Sun Xiuhua away.

It turned out to be for this reason.

What Su Nuannuan could think of, others could think of as well.

For a moment, everyone looked at Sun Xiuhua with pity.

Sun Xiuhua was arguably the least noticeable among them. If she hadn't always been with Zhou Menglu, they probably wouldn't have included her when they hung out.

However, after spending a semester together, the group developed a very good impression of Sun Xiuhua.

Although she doesn't talk much, she is very good to her friends, loyal, tolerant, and forgiving.

Seeing that Sun Xiuhua was having such a hard time, the group felt bad for each other.

Hong Xiu hugged Sun Xiuhua tightly, her eyes brimming with tears.

Besides Su Nuannuan, she had a better relationship with Sun Xiuhua.

She couldn't imagine what her best friend had to face every time she went home.

Wang Ma treated Sun Xiuhua this way in front of everyone. It's clear that she's even more unscrupulous at home.

Su Nuannuan sighed.

Other people's family matters are the hardest to resolve.

Zhou Menglu scratched her face, somewhat at a loss.

Apart from Su Nuannuan, who is somewhat cunning, the rest of them are college students who have not experienced the harsh realities of society.

Although I wanted to help Sun Xiuhua, I couldn't think of a good solution for the time being.
