Chapter 137 Benefactor Sister
Su Xiaoxiao left the address of the noodle shop to the two ladies. If the two ladies need anything, they can just go to the noodle shop to find her.
After everything was negotiated, Lan Ling still had to entertain the guests, so he let Su Xiaoxiao return to the kitchen alone.
But when she left, she didn't notice that there was a pair of eyes in the crowd staring at her.
On the way back to the small kitchen, they had to pass through a long corridor. Walking in the corridor, Su Xiaoxiao saw the always dignified Cui Boxian appear at the end of the corridor.
The two smiled at each other and walked towards each other quickly.
Cui Boxian spoke first: "After eating the meal just now, I guessed that you made it. I didn't expect you to be here!"
Su Xiaoxiao jokingly said, "So, Master Cui came here specifically to look for me?"
"Of course!"
Just as the two were chatting, Xu Liu, the daughter of Mr. Xu, also came over.
She recognized Cui Boxian from a distance.
She has been fond of Cui Boxian for a long time and has always hoped to marry him, so as to change her family's business status and improve her status in the Xu family.
She was sure that Cui Boxian would come to Guo Fu's 60th birthday party. After dinner, she took her maid for a stroll, hoping to meet Cui Boxian, and then take the opportunity to talk to him and leave a good impression on him.
As luck would have it, with God's blessing, she really met Cui Boxian here. She said she would seize this rare opportunity no matter what.
However, when she got closer, she found that Cui Boxian was talking to Su Xiaoxiao.
The two of them chatted happily, as if they were very familiar with each other.
Xu Liuliu frowned slightly.
How could someone like Cui Boxian know a country cook?
She despised the lowly country folk the most.
Thinking back to the scene where Lan Ling introduced the business to Su Xiaoxiao just now, she suddenly felt that although Su Xiaoxiao was a country girl, she was not simple.
Just ask, if she didn't have certain means and schemes, how could a country girl get to know the county magistrate's son and have such a pleasant conversation with him?
How could she allow the daughter of an imperial merchant from the capital to personally introduce business to her and introduce her to people in the circle of nobles?
There must be something wrong with this village girl!
She suddenly became alert.
Could it be that the village girl Su Xiaoxiao also likes Cui Boxian and wants to marry him to change her humble fate?
Want to steal a man from her?
dream!
She would never let Su Xiaoxiao, the village girl, succeed!
She pretended to be calm, looking harmless and innocent, and walked over quickly with her maid.
"Isn't this Mr. Cui? I didn't expect to have such a fate with you. I'm honored to meet you here!"
As she spoke, she knelt down and performed a standard curtsy to Cui Boxian.
Xu Liu's appearance interrupted the conversation between Cui Boxian and Su Xiaoxiao, and they both looked at Xu Liu at the same time.
Cui Boxian nodded slightly.
"Miss Xu, you're too polite! You and I are both guests of the Guo Mansion. It's not surprising that we meet in the Guo Mansion."
Hearing this, Xu Liu froze for a moment as he slowly stood up.
Although he was a little unhappy, he still endured it, stood up straight, and looked at Cui Boxian affectionately.
Cui Boxian's gaze fell on Su Xiaoxiao again, and he introduced Xu Liu to Su Xiaoxiao.
"This is Miss Xu Liu, the daughter of Mr. Xu!"
Su Xiaoxiao also imitated Xu Liu and performed a very unstandard kneeling gesture.
"Miss Xu is polite!"
A trace of contempt flashed across Xu Liuxiao's eyes, but in order to maintain a good image in front of Cui Boxian, she continued to maintain a dignified demeanor.
"Is this the cook Miss Lan hired? The food you cook is really delicious! I know you country folk aren't good at etiquette, so there's no need to be so polite!"
This is something that makes people feel uncomfortable.
Cui Boxian also heard the disparagement of Su Xiaoxiao in Xu Liu's words, and his face darkened slightly.
Su Xiaoxiao didn't care about it.
She was prepared to be looked down upon.
As long as it doesn't harm her interests, she doesn't care what others say.
She smiled and replied, "Thank you for the compliment, Miss Xu!"
Xu Liu looked at Cui Boxian and was about to say something to get closer to Cui Boxian, but Cui Boxian changed the subject and directly ended their conversation.
"Miss Su is new to the Guo residence. To prevent her from getting lost, I'll take her home first. Miss Xu, please do as you please. Excuse me!"
Su Xiaoxiao saw that Xu Liu wanted to get close to Cui Boxian, and also saw that Cui Boxian didn't like Xu Liu very much and didn't want to talk much with Xu Liu, so she nodded and chose to help Cui Boxian out.
"Yes, the Guo Mansion is so big, I'm really afraid of getting lost. Then I'll have to trouble Master Cui!"
"You're welcome! Please!"
Cui Boxian sat down very gentlemanly and asked Su Xiaoxiao to go first.
Su Xiaoxiao and Xu Liu nodded slightly as a greeting, turned around and left first, followed closely by Cui Boxian.
Xu Liu looked at the backs of the two people leaving, and twisted the handkerchief in his hand vigorously, as if he wanted to crush it into pieces.
She complained to the maid beside her, "Who is that village girl? Why is Master Cui taking such good care of her?"
The maid was startled and whispered back, "I don't know either!"
"Then go check it out! You're just a village girl, don't even think about stealing my man. Master Cui is mine! I'll kill anyone who dares to steal from me!"
With the strength of their Xu family, it is more than enough to deal with a village girl.
"Yes!" the maid responded.
Su Xiaoxiao, unaware that she had already attracted hatred, successfully returned to the kitchen under the leadership of Cui Boxian.
Cui Boxian had something else to do, so he exchanged a few words and left.
After the meal, the Guo family also had to prepare some desserts and other snacks. Su Xiaoxiao did not leave immediately and planned to stay to help.
Just then, she heard voices outside, and the voices sounded familiar.
"Niece, are you sure the person you saw is your savior?"
It was Xiao Ran's voice.
Five-year-old Huo Muyun answered with certainty in Yang Qi's arms.
"Uncle Xiao Ran, I'm very sure that the person I just saw was my sister who saved me that day!"
Because of Yang Qi, Huo Muyun also calls Xiao Ran and Tang Ze uncle.
Huo Muyun had just finished his meal and was playing on the side.
When Lan Ling appeared with Su Xiaoxiao and introduced Su Xiaoxiao to everyone, she was having fun and didn't look up at Su Xiaoxiao.
When she had almost finished playing, she looked forward and saw that Su Xiaoxiao had already left.
But just from this one glance, she was certain that Su Xiaoxiao was the benefactor sister who had saved her from the kidnapper that day.
So she hurried after him.
But she was just a little kid, and no matter how fast she ran, she couldn't catch up with Su Xiaoxiao.
In addition, she didn't know the way to Guo's house, so she got lost while chasing.
She was so anxious that she was sweating profusely for fear of missing the chance to meet her benefactor sister again. At this moment, as luck would have it, she met Xiao Ran, Yang Qi and Tang Ze.
After Xiao Ran and the other two ate the dishes made by Su Xiaoxiao, they all felt that they were particularly delicious.
They were very curious about which chef prepared such delicious food, so they decided to go to the kitchen to ask.
When they wanted to eat it in the future, they invited the chef to their home to cook for them, but they didn't expect to meet Huo Muyun who came running over in a panic.
