1643: It's Fine, I'll Settle It

It's Fine, I'll Settle It

"Sure." No longer embarrassed, Aunt Chen immediately beamed and said happily, "I'll go to the market to buy a fish, to make your favorite boiled fish."1

"Okay," Qiao Nian replied.

At this moment, the noblewoman, who had hesitated not far away, walked towards them. She greeted the girl awkwardly, "Nian Nian, long time no see. You've grown taller and thinner. You're even more beautiful than before."

Her greetings were very dry. Madam Fu felt embarrassed and uneasy. She wished she could find a hole to hide in.

Except she was forced into a corner.

Yesterday, Fu Sinian told her that Bai Lin's cousin had done something and provoked Qiao Nian.

She hadn't slept well all night.

Over the past year, the Fu family had been going downhill, especially after the female celebrity Fu Sinian raised outside caused trouble. Everyone saw the Ye family's attitude towards them.

The Fu family's already difficult days became even more difficult.

Without the Ye Family's backing, they were struggling even in a small place like Rao City.

She was worried that Wei Xueying's matter would make the Fu family's already difficult path even more difficult. She was even more worried that Ye Wangchuan would vent his anger on them because of this matter… Therefore, after she couldn't sleep last night, she thought about this method.

She wanted to build a good relationship with Aunt Chen, as well as Qiao Nian and Ye Wangchuan.

Although this method was a little thick-skinned, it was better than doing nothing.

After thinking about this, Madam Fu calmed down a little and forced a smile. She continued, "It's like this. I heard from Fu Ge that Uncle Chen had an operation some time ago. I've always wanted to visit him, but I was so busy that I didn't have time. I finally found time today, so I bought some gifts for Uncle Chen, but Aunt Chen refused to accept them."

Fu Ge used to go to the Qiao Family's house a lot in the past.

Aunt Chen was a helper there, so they knew each other.

However, Aunt Chen only knew Fu Ge and did not have much contact with him, let alone with Madam Fu.

Madam Fu didn't even like Qiao Chen back then, let alone the rest of the Qiao family.

At this moment, she acted as though they were close to each other. Feeling uncomfortable all over, Aunt Chen grabbed her hands and explained to Qiao Nian in a low voice, "Those gifts are too expensive. I-I can't accept them."

The girl was wearing a baseball cap and a light-colored sweater today. She was dressed simply, but her aura could not be ignored.

Fu Ge was standing not far away. He wasn't as thick-skinned as his mother and was too embarrassed to come over.

However, he was looking in the direction of the girl the entire time.

However, the girl didn't even look at him. After listening to their conversation, she patted the back of Aunt Chen's rough hand, hummed softly, and said, "It's fine. I'll settle it."

"Nian Nian, you…" Aunt Chen looked at her again. Although the current situation left her at a loss, she had never thought of asking Qiao Nian to stand up for her.

She was about to muster up the courage to reject Madam Fu when the girl took a step forward and stood in front of her unobtrusively, then said lightly to the noblewoman, "Are these the gifts?"

Madam Fu was still feeling uneasy and worried that Qiao Nian wouldn't be willing to give her face. Now, she immediately pursed her lips and smiled. "Ah, right. I bought some health supplements for Uncle Chen. They're all nourishing supplements. I specifically asked the doctor, and he said that they're most suitable for patients."
