Chapter 488 I can’t let Aunt Xiaocao live in our house
The night gradually deepened.
The main building of Anjia is brightly lit.
Except for An Yuan, Xiao Jiu and the two old people, the rest of the An family gathered in the hall and looked at Huang Xiaocao.
Huang Xiaocao was wearing slippers and a loose casual skirt. Her long burgundy curly hair was scattered around her waist. Her face without makeup was shining with hyaluronic acid.
Although there are traces of surgery and injections on her face, in general, her medical beauty treatment is very successful. She is in her early fifties, but she looks only about 40 years old, and her charm is still there. With her lazy and leisurely noble lady attitude, she still turns heads when walking on the street.
The An family looked at her like this with very complicated emotions.
Huang Xiaocao held a glass of red wine in a very standard posture, and while sipping slowly, she said to Huang Xiaomei sincerely: "Sister, my husband has been dead for several years. I have been living alone and have no other children. I am getting older and want to return to my roots.”
"Although my husband left me a rich inheritance, which allowed me to have food and drink, what I miss most is the time we lived together."
"For me, Anjia is my only home."
"Plus Taozi is here, this is where I belong."
She put down her wine glass and grabbed Huang Xiaomei's hand: "Sister, I want to move back to An's house and live with you."
"The An family is so big, will there be room for me?"
Huang Xiaomei was naturally excited and happy when she saw her sister whom she hadn't seen for more than ten years, but she could see that Taozi was afraid of Huang Xiaocao.
In fact, Taozi has been nervous, panicked and even scared since she saw Huang Xiaocao in the morning. Like a frightened little rabbit, she had to obey the request of a wolf who wanted to be with her and take the wolf to visit. In her own home, no matter what the wolf said, she could only nod.
Even though a day had passed, she still seemed to be sleepwalking in a nightmare, her face turned pale, and she sat motionless in the corner of the sofa area, her knees tightly together, her lips pursed tightly, and her hands still clenched. He clutched his knees tightly, not daring to raise his head.
In this way, she started to have the same low self-esteem, introversion, sensitivity, and fear as a child.
Everyone in An's family can see the change in her.
But in front of Huang Xiaocao, it was difficult for the An family to ask questions.
Huang Xiaomei thought a little awkwardly and looked at Taozi: "Taozi, your mother wants to live in the same building as you, what do you think?"
After finishing speaking, she explained: "Xiaocao, it's like this. There are several people living in Taozi's building, all of them young people. It might be a bit crowded if you live in it..."
Before Taozi could speak, Huang Xiaocao interrupted her: "Sister, Taozi won't have any objection. Just say it."
Everyone in the An family looked at each other and frowned slightly.
To be honest, their impression of Huang Xiaocao was not bad. After all, 22 years ago, when Huang Xiaomei suffered a fire in the hospital and lost a child and was in poor health, Huang Xiaocao was the one who took care of Xiaozhen.
Huang Xiaocao was indeed very kind to the An family when they were in Anjia. From this perspective, the Anjia owed Huang Xiaocao a favor.
Just now, Huang Xiaocao implicitly "reminded" the An family.
Originally, An's family was so big that it wouldn't be a problem to have one more person living there. However, when everyone faced Huang Xiaocao, whom they hadn't seen for fifteen or six years, and Huang Xiaocao had changed so much, they felt like strangers. They really had no way to deal with it. She felt close to her, not to mention Tao Zi was so afraid of her.
But, can they refuse?
How to refuse?
Who will open this mouth?
When Huang Xiaomei saw Huang Xiaocao talking about Taozi like this, she was a little unhappy, but she didn't want to express it too obviously, so she had to say tactfully: "Xiaocao, Taozi is 24 years old and a famous jewelry designer. He is no longer a child. We will always ask her opinion on matters related to her."
"In the eyes of a mother, a child is still a child no matter how old he is. I can make the decision on these matters." Huang Xiaocao glanced at Taozi and said disapprovingly, "Besides, I am her mother and I have returned to my hometown all the way. Isn’t she still willing to live with her mother?”
Everyone looked at Taozi.
Taozi quickly raised her head and glanced at everyone, lowered her head, and said: "I, I listen to my family..."
Huang Xiaocao smiled: "Sister, look, Tao Zi doesn't have any objections anymore. You are my biological sister, you won't want me, right?"
"I even brought my luggage and put it in the car. I will move into the room I chose later. From now on, I will live with everyone."
Everyone looked at each other, with a kind of hesitation on their faces that wanted to refuse but couldn't say anything.
After all, there are so many people here, except An Weiguo and his wife, all of them are juniors who have been taken care of by Huang Xiaocao, and there is really no way to drive her away.
Huang Xiaomei has no contact with the Huang family. Huang Xiaocao is her only natal family, and she still hopes to be close to her only sister.
Seeing that no one in the family refused, she said, "That's fine..."
"I think we should wait until Xiao Yuan comes back to discuss this matter." At this moment, An Jingwei said, "Xiao Yuan bought this mountain, and these houses were also built by Xiao Yuan, so it is not convenient for Auntie to live there. It should be Xiao Yuan’s decision to come in.”
Hearing this, the An family members were relieved and nodded: "Yes, Xiao Yuan hasn't met Auntie yet, at least wait until Xiao Yuan meets Auntie."
"If Auntie wants to stay here for a long time, she really needs to ask Xiao Yuan..."
Huang Xiaocao frowned: "Sister, brother-in-law, Xiao Yuan is your daughter and a junior. She doesn't have to make the final decision on family matters, right?"
An Jingwei didn't wait for his mother to speak and said: "Auntie, my parents are old and basically don't care about family affairs. Xiao Yuan is the smartest, most capable and most amazing person in our family. She is the one who makes the decisions in this family. We no comment."
The others nodded frequently when they heard this: "Yes, together we are not as good as one finger of Xiao Yuan. Xiao Yuan is the king of our family..."
After Huang Xiaocao was silent for a few seconds, he looked at Huang Xiaomei with red eyes: "Sister, we meet again after 16 years. I am rich and will not harm you. I just want to live with you. Isn't this okay?"
"Taozi told me that she, Xiaozhi, and Xiaoyang's female friends all live here. Why can't I live here even though I'm your biological sister?"
When Huang Xiaomei saw that her sister was about to cry, her heart softened and she immediately said: "Of course you can live..."
At this moment, a polite but unquestionable voice sounded: "I'm sorry, I heard part of your conversation. I can't let Aunt Huang Xiaocao live in our house."
When everyone heard this voice, it was like seeing the light of God descending on the earth, and they were so moved that they almost cried.
As expected of Xiao Yuan!
Always show up at critical moments!
His words and deeds are always reliable.
This is the first time Huang Xiaocao meets Anyuan.
While she was amazed, she was also sensitively aware that the atmosphere of the entire living room had changed, as if the protagonist finally appeared on the stage, the supporting characters and backgrounds gave way, and only the protagonist was performing.
She stood up and showed a friendly smile: "Xiaoyuan, you are back. You are as beautiful and elegant as you are on TV. Even auntie and I are fascinated by you..."
Anyuan stood more than one meter away in front of her and smiled: "Thank you, auntie, for the compliment."
"I welcome you to our home, but you can't stay in our home. If it's too late and it's inconvenient for you to go back to the hotel, our family also has a villa in this community, not far from here, you can stay there .”
How dare you say it...
These words caused the An family to feel extremely comfortable.
The corners of Huang Xiaocao's mouth twitched slightly, and she suppressed her displeasure and asked gently: "Xiaoyuan, can you tell me, we are all a family, why can't I live here?"
"Because I don't trust you and can't treat you as a relative or friend." An Yuan said very politely, "It's 11 o'clock in the night now. We are going to rest, and it's time for you to go back."
"Xiaoyuan, it's normal that you don't understand me when we first meet." Huang Xiaocao said, "Because of this, we need to have more contact and understand each other, right?"
"I promise, if you know what kind of person I am, auntie, you will definitely trust me..."
"No, I understand what kind of person you are." What An Yuan said, it can be said that she didn't give Huang Xiaocao any face, but she said it very politely and gently, "Because I understand, I don't trust you, I can't Let you live here."
Huang Xiaocao has never been said like this by the An family.
What's more, An Yuan is still a junior?
She couldn't bear it anymore and showed a hint of anger: "Xiao Yuan, when you first met, you said you understood me. Isn't it too arbitrary?"
"Besides, you keep saying that I'm not worthy of your trust, so tell me, why am I not worthy of your trust?"
An Yuan looked at Huang Xiaocao with a smile and said nothing for a while.
This time, it was the An family's turn to feel that something was wrong with the atmosphere.
Xiaoyuan's attitude towards Aunt Xiaocao is... very strange, as if she is... hostile?
Still quite hostile.
Even if she doesn't like and welcome Aunt Xiaocao, she won't go to this extent, right?
You know, Xiao Yuan has always been very nurturing. Even when facing the most annoying scum, she stabs her with a smile. She rarely does this...
Such a small fate makes them a little scared.
They didn't dare to say anything.
Huang Xiaocao was shocked by the smile on his face but without any emotion in his eyes. He said somewhat unwillingly: "Xiao Yuan, did I offend you in some way? You seem to hate me?"
Anyuan smiled: "You did do something to offend me. Let's go to the study to talk."
After saying that, she turned around and walked upstairs.
Huang Xiaocao pursed her lips slightly, a flash of anger flashed in her eyes, and followed calmly.
The An family looked at each other in confusion. Where and when did Aunt Xiaocao offend Xiao Yuan?
Also, why do they feel uneasy about the impending storm?
