C1906 Meet Me
At about two o'clock in the afternoon, Aunt Liu told Huo Niannian that Zhou Tong had arrived.
As they walked into the Gu family, Zhou Tong carefully observed the layout of the place and guessed where her father would be kept if he was locked up in the Gu family.
Aunt Liu led her and saw her looking around from time to time. She only thought that it was her first time coming to the Gu family and did not think too much about it.
Walking into the living room, Huo Niannian was sitting on the sofa waiting for her. Seeing that she had arrived, she got up and went to greet her.
"Thank you for your hard work, Zhou Tong. I'm really sorry to have delayed you for so long."
Huo Niannian took the document envelope and smiled as she asked Zhou Tong, "Have you had lunch?"
The moment before she stepped into the living room, Zhou Tong restrained all her emotions and put all of her heart and soul into pretending to be harmless and innocent.
After hearing Huo Niannian's words, she smiled shyly and said, "I was in a hurry on the road and forgot."
After she finished speaking, as if to prove it, Zhou Tong's stomach rumbled twice.
Then, Zhou Tong's face suddenly turned red and she lowered her head awkwardly.
Huo Niannian felt even more guilty. Not only did she waste Zhou Tong's time, she even made her hungry.
She quickly asked Aunt Liu to prepare food.
Zhou Tong waved her hand and declined, "No need to trouble Sister Niannian. It will be the same when I go back later."
"Why is it the same?" Huo Niannian pulled Zhou Tong's hand and let her sit down, "If you are hungry for a long time, your stomach will become sick from hunger."
After knowing Zhou Tong for so long, Huo Niannian felt that Zhou Tong was a pure and kind little girl and completely treated her as Sister who needed to be taken care of.
Zhou Tong's heart was filled with an obscure feeling. Her left hand curled up slightly and quickly loosened.
She told herself not to be swayed by Huo Niannian's little favor.
"Thank you, Sister Niannian."
"Why are you thanking me? I should be the one thanking you."
Beside Huo Niannian sat Little Nianxian. Little Nianxian was very curious about Zhou Tong, whom he had met for the first time. Ever since Zhou Tong came in, Little Nianxian's eyes had never left her body.
Zhou Tong naturally felt it too. She turned her head and looked at the little girl.
She had thought that she would dodge, but little did she expect that she would immediately smile brightly when she saw her.
"Big sister!"
Zhou Tong was stunned for a moment before she was at a loss for what to do.
Huo Niannian did not think that her little daughter would have a good impression of Zhou Tong. Ever since she was bullied in kindergarten, she had never taken the initiative to talk to strangers, even the playmate that she and Gu Tingshen had found for her. Nian Ci would only slowly put down his guard after spending some time with her.
Today, when she and Zhou Tong met for the first time, she had a good impression of Zhou Tong.
Huo Niannian was overjoyed. Did this mean that Little Nian Ci's condition had improved?
Of course, she was happy to see such a situation. She immediately introduced to Zhou Tong, "This is my little daughter. Her name is Gu Nianci. She is not even three years old yet."
Zhou Tong looked at the innocent and cute Nian Ci and thought of Gu Tingshen, who was somewhat similar to her.
Gu Tingshen... Shen Guanlin... they were both her targets for revenge.
As for Huo Niannian and the little girl in front of her... Zhou Tong did not know what to do. She wanted to tell her family that she could not cause any harm to them, but she could not do it so that she did not hate them at all.2
She had no choice but to let nature take its course.
There was a moment of uneasiness on Zhou Tong's face, and then she immediately returned to normal.
She smiled gently. Two dimples appeared on both sides of her cheeks, making her look even cuter.
"Hello, Little Kindness."
Little Nianxian suddenly became shy. He grabbed Huo Niannian's clothes and hid behind her.
Regarding this, Huo Niannian only felt that Nianxian was cute.
She held Little Nian Ci's hand and moved her from behind to in front of Zhou Tong.
Huo Niannian said gently, "Nian Ci is obedient. Can you hold hands with Elder Sister Zhou?"
She wanted to let Nian Ci overcome her fear of outsiders. She did not notice that after she finished speaking, Zhou Tong's body stiffened for a moment.
