"Xiaoqin, what time is it? Why are you still lying down?"

Mother Gu thinks her eldest daughter is too lazy.

"Don't mention it. Chen Yu came back late yesterday and was drunk. I was busy until late at night."

Zhong Xiaoqin said while yawning.

"Chen Yu is drunk, this is unlikely, right?"

The first impression Chen Yu gives people is that he is steady and dignified. Gu Jia finds it hard to imagine him being drunk.

"He was really drunk. Fortunately, Chen Xu sent him back, otherwise I wouldn't know where to find my husband."

To be honest, this is the first time that Zhong Xiaoqin has encountered such a situation after knowing Chen Yu for so long.

"Chen Xu is back. When did it happen?"

Gu Jia wants to meet Chen Xu but is afraid to do so. She wants to understand this mysterious man, but is afraid of destroying her beautiful family.

"It should have been a few days ago. His girlfriend Lu Bing, who is half a generation older than him, resigned from the TV station, and he helped her find a pretty good job."

These things were told to her by Chen Yu who was drunk yesterday; he was promoted again, although it was a temporary position, but the leaders of the station had made it clear that if he worked hard and persisted until the end of the year, he would be given a permanent position.

Chen Yu also said that he was disgusted by this kind of promotion arranged by others, which seemed like a backdoor promotion, but he had to accept this kindness. Bitches are just pretentious.

"Don't sleep anymore. Look at the time now. Even if you slept in the middle of the night, you should get up now."

"What time is it? Oh, it's already half past ten, so I should get up. Lunch is in an hour, and I have to feed Pikachu too."

Eating, sleeping, and petting cats, Zhong Xiaoqin's life is very monotonous now.

"Xiaoqin, you can't do this. After the danger period, you should go out more often. There is a new dessert shop downstairs. I will take you there to eat something."

"Dessert shop, okay, okay, I told you, Gu Gu, you are the best to me."

Although she is about to become a mother, Zhong Xiaoqin looks like a child.

.........

Sweet time

The name of Wang Manni’s newly opened dessert shop.

Wealth and honor do not return to their hometown, just like walking in brocade at night.

There happened to be a suitable store for rent less than a hundred meters away from the Misha store, so Wang Manni opened her dessert shop here.

"The store looks quite big, but I wonder what the products here are like?"

Looking at the store with two floors covering more than 180 square meters, Zhong Xiaoqin commented.

"It should be OK. I heard about this store from Mrs. Li. Since she praised it, the products of this store must be good."

Gu Jia still enjoys hanging out in the wives' circle, hoping to get more orders for her company.

"Hey, you are..."

"Wang Manni, you changed your job."

Although Zhong Xiaoqin didn't help clarify the point redemption issue, Wang Manni's generous offer to lend money at the stairs allowed the two to have a good interaction.

"Yes, we're having a big opening sale these days. If you want to eat something, I'll give you a 50% discount."

The temperaments of workers and bosses are just different, Wang Manni said domineeringly.

"You're so nice. I won't be polite then... I want this, this, and this. Gu Gu, what do you want to eat?"

Zhong Xiaoqin said this in a funny way, looking like she still had some childishness.

"I'll just have a mousse cake and a cappuccino, but you ordered so much, can you finish it?"

"If you can't finish it, just take it away. It's rare that Manni gives me such a big discount, so of course I have to order more."

After becoming pregnant, Zhong Xiaoqin became lazy and gluttonous, and she seemed to be turning into her beloved cat Pikachu.

Because it was almost lunch time, not many people came to the dessert shop to consume. In addition, Wang Manni got along well with Zhong Xiaoqin, so she personally entertained them and gave them a high-end fruit plate.

"Manni, if you have nothing to do, come over and chat with us. I've been so bored lately."

"I hope it won't bother you."

Wang Manni glanced at Gu Jia and said.

"Why, come and sit together."

The fate between people is really a little unpredictable; even with the intervention of Chen Xu, the three main female protagonists of the play still gathered together, and there was a sense of hitting it off at first sight and feeling that they had met each other too late.

"What, you opened this store, is rice sales so profitable?"

After hearing Wang Manni say that she was the owner of this store, Zhong Xiaoqin exclaimed.

"No, when I was working as a salesperson at Misia, I was basically living paycheck to paycheck. My boyfriend funded the business for me."

Wang Manni explained with a smile.

"That's because you have the ability to find a boyfriend who treats you so well."

Zhong Xiaoqin's thoughts were simple. She was sincerely happy for this friend she had just met.

"Manni, can you tell me about opening a dessert shop? I actually have this plan recently."

Born in adversity, die in comfort; although the fireworks company's business is good, Gu Jia still has a sense of crisis and does not want to put all her eggs in one basket.

"You're opening a dessert shop? You're not opening it across from me, are you?"

Wang Manni joked with a smile.

"How could that be? My husband owns a fireworks company, and I plan to open one near his company. How many kilometers away is it from you?"

It was obvious that Wang Manni was joking, but Gu Jia still explained patiently.

"This is a trade secret, but for Xiaoqin's sake, I'll tell you..."

There was actually nothing to hide about this matter, and you could find out by searching on the Internet. Next, Wang Manni told Gu Jia her experience of opening a store from beginning to end.

“It turns out that opening a store is so troublesome…”

After listening to Wang Manni, Zhong Xiaoqin sighed.

"My place is actually pretty good. My boyfriend hired someone to help with the decoration and staff training. He also hired the pastry chef."

Fearing that Wang Manni’s business would fail before it even started, Chen Xu helped a lot.

"Other people's boyfriends, our Lao Chen has never done anything decent for me since we got married; before I hired an aunt, we even washed our own clothes."

Zhong Xiaoqin was inspired and began to complain about Chen Yu's various faults.

Although Gu Jia didn't say anything, she felt bad inside.

If Xu Huanshan had been more capable and considerate, he would not have let her go to meet Lao Wan alone that day, and she would not have lost her virginity to Chen Xu by accident.

"My boyfriend is really nice to me, and our acquaintance is also very interesting..."

Wang Manni started the story from the moment she fainted on the road, ignoring all the previous stories.

"Oh my god, this is so romantic. I feel like I'm listening to a fairy tale..."

A sentimental person like Zhong Xiaoqin was immediately moved by Wang Manni's story.

Gu Jia, on the other hand, heard something different from the story.

"I actually feel very lucky that at this awkward age, in this busy city, I can meet someone who truly treats me well."

Wang Manni was eager to tell the story of her and Chen Xu, and the things she could not tell her parents. Zhong Xiaoqin and Gu Jia became the best listeners.

Chapter 184 Kindergarten Accident

"Gu Gu, after hearing what Manni said about her boyfriend, I think our Chen Yu should be dragged out for target practice."

After leaving the dessert shop, Zhong Xiaoqin still couldn't get over the story that had just happened.

"Okay, Xiaoqin, Chen Yu is not as bad as you say. He is honest and steady, and is definitely someone you can rely on. As for Wang Manni, I think the way she gets along with her boyfriend is a little abnormal."

The meticulous Gu Jia heard a lot of facts that Wang Manni had deliberately ignored from her conversation just now.

"Not normal, what's wrong with it?"

Zhong Xiaoqin just listens to people talking and rarely thinks about the hidden meaning of their words.

"Didn't you hear Wang Manni say that she and her boyfriend have only known each other for more than a month?"

"What's the big deal? Can't I fall in love at first sight?"

"Love at first sight is mostly about appearance. After just over a month of knowing each other, Wang Manni accepted such a large dessert shop given by her boyfriend. Do you think this is appropriate?

Do you think their relationship is pure?

Even if the relationship is stable and the two get married in the future, will Wang Manni have a status in the family? "

Gu Jia's three fatal questions stumped Zhong Xiaoqin.

"This doesn't seem to be a good idea, Gu Gu, do you think we should remind Wang Manni?"

Zhong Xiaoqin’s thoughts are so simple that Gu Jia is made to laugh and cry by her. However, it is precisely because of her simplicity that the two of them have such a good relationship.

"Silly sister, how long have we known her? Is it appropriate to talk about deep friendship with her?"

"But now that you've discovered the problem, why don't you tell her? Isn't that bad?"

Although Zhong Xiaoqin is cute and adorable, she can sometimes be stubborn and opinionated.

"How do you know she didn't notice the problem? Wang Manni used to work as a salesperson in a rice store. She must know more about the ways of the world than the average person. I can think of it, but how could she not?"

"She has thought of it all, so she still..."

"Didn't you hear what she said? She worked in the rice shop for seven or eight years and didn't save any money. Now she's almost 30. In Shanghai, a city as realistic as this, it's rare to meet a man who's willing to spend money on her. So she has to hold on to him tightly, right?

Children make choices, adults often don’t have a choice.”

Fearing that her best friend might do something inappropriate, Gu Jia pointed out the cold reality beneath the sweet packaging of love.

"You said Wang Manni is with her current boyfriend because of money?"

"Otherwise, based on what she said about being a hero saving a beautiful woman, if you replace her with an ordinary person, she will be in the same state as now."

Gu Jia insisted on her own judgment.

Ding Dong

As they were talking, Gu Jia's cell phone rang. It was a message from the kindergarten's parents group, so she opened it and read it immediately.

"what happened?"

Seeing Gu Jia frowning, Zhong Xiaoqin said with concern.

"It's about the kindergarten. There's a kid named Nan Nan in Zi Yan's class who has epilepsy. He just had an attack and scared a lot of kids."

"Where's Zi Yan? Was he also scared?"

Although she will have her own child soon, Zhong Xiaoqin's feelings for her godson have not changed at all.

"That should be the case, but the teacher said that they have been comforted."

"That's good, as long as Ziyan is okay. The school is nearby, why don't we go see him?"

After she became pregnant, Zhong Xiaoqin understood even more the care a mother has for her child.

Gu Jia readily agreed to Zhong Xiaoqin's suggestion. Seeing is believing, and she also wanted to see if her baby son was frightened.

At the gate of Depu Kindergarten, not only Gu Jia and Zhong Xiaoqin came, but many parents who got the news also rushed over.

"Mother Ziyan, this is..."

"Mom Muzi, this is Ziyan's godmother, my good friend Zhong Xiaoqin, she also lives in Grand Hyatt."

Although they had not had much contact, Gu Jia knew what kind of person Muzi's mother was just by reading the messages sent by the parents' group, so her introduction to Zhong Xiaoqin was very targeted.

"Really? Hello, Miss Zhong."

"Hello, Muzi's mother."

Zhong Xiaoqin agreed politely.

"Zi Yan's mother, you came here because of the message sent by Teacher Li. Their kindergarten is too outrageous. They even accept people with epilepsy."

Muzi's mother has already decided that she will use this incident to establish her position as the chairperson of the Parent-Teacher Association.
