She was fired after she refused to be the CEO's dog licker.

In fact, I have never eaten the egg noodles made by Mrs. Zhang Si, and Mrs. Zhang Si has never cooked such a simple meal for me. She loves to stew tonic foods for me, such as pigeon soup and stewed bird's nest, which are nutritious and exquisite.

But I just want to eat egg noodles right now.

My grandma can make egg noodles, and she often makes egg noodles for me.

I actually miss home.

I miss my grandma, my aunt, and I want to go home.

But my grandma is gone, and I can't go to the nursing home now. I also don't want to make everyone worry about my affairs. I can't even tell these things to Yuhe, because it will interfere with his judgment.

I could only run to Madam Zhang Si, hug her and cry, saying that I wanted to eat egg noodles.

"Okay, godmother will make egg noodles for Xuxu. Come on, let's go in." Mrs. Zhang Si hugged me tenderly, her palms gently stroking my back. Her soft soothing voice was in my ears, bringing me silent strength.

With this silent comfort, my emotions gradually calmed down. I got up from Madam Zhang Si's arms and was just about to find a wet wipe to wipe my face, but Madam Zhang Si rushed over and carefully wiped my face and the corners of my eyes, then put her arm around my waist and walked in with me side by side.

We went straight into the backyard. The chef probably heard that we wanted to use the kitchen, so he hurried over: "Madam, what do you and Miss want to eat? Let me make it?"

"No, let me do it. My daughter wants to eat the egg noodles I make." Mrs. Zhang Si put on an apron, rolled up her sleeves, and smiled gently and amiably.

Such a beautiful face, such a gentle smile, she introduced me to others intimately and naturally as her daughter, and my heart was warmed again.

These warm feelings are slowly making up for the pain and bitterness in my heart.

I stood beside Mrs. Zhang Si and helped her peel some garlic and onions, wash some vegetables, and get some eggs.

The blue flame on the stove started, and the onions, ginger and garlic made a sizzling sound in the hot oil pan. The fragrance filled the air, and I felt as if I was back home, back to my grandma. I felt safe and warm, and my originally tense heartstrings slowly relaxed at this moment.

The egg noodles are very simple to make and Mrs. Zhang Si made them quickly.

She added a little sesame oil, then took the pot out and placed it on the dining table.

The fragrance filled the air. Madam Zhang Si took a bowl and served it to me. Through the misty hot steam, Madam Zhang Si smiled gently. I seemed to see my grandmother and to be back home again.

My heart became more and more at ease, and my stomach suddenly became very hungry. The bowl of egg noodles in front of me was simply a delicacy from land and sea, and was particularly sweet. Under the loving gaze of Madam Zhang Si, I lowered my head and began to eat in big mouthfuls.

"Xuxu, now you can tell me who bullied you?" Mrs. Zhang Si's voice became gentler. "I'm very happy that you came to me when you felt wronged. But I can't just cook egg noodles. I have to help my daughter vent her anger. Tell me, who was it?"

Listening to what Mrs. Zhang Si said, my nose felt sore again and I wanted to cry again, but I had noodles stuffed in my mouth and couldn't speak.

Mrs. Zhang Si began to ask questions: "Is it Xiaoye?"

I immediately shook my head.

She nodded and said, "Xiao Ye holds you in his palm and loves you. I think he is reluctant to bully you. Is he your boss Wu Ling?"

I shook my head again.

Mrs. Zhang Si nodded again: "That child is also quite good, but she likes to dress up fiercely. In fact, she is a soft-hearted person. I can see that she treats Xuxu very well."

She asked me again: "Is it Zhou Hanzhi?"

My hand holding the chopsticks paused and I didn't respond to her.

Is it Zhou Hanzhi?

It's him!

He entangled me again and again, just like pulling a rope and putting it around my neck, tightening the rope when necessary and letting go when not needed, but the rope was always in his hand. I couldn't walk far and there couldn't be anyone else around me, otherwise he would grab the rope again and pull me to his side.

There is no respect, no cherishment, only sweet talk again and again.

But, is it his fault?

I blame him, but I don’t blame him either. It was because I failed to control myself and stick to my bottom line that I was bullied and played around by him.

Today I finally cut the rope between us, I finally got rid of him, and something like that will never happen again.

But I can't tell whether I am sad and heartbroken because of the grievances I suffered before, or I am sad and heartbroken because the rope between us has been cut.

Seeing that I didn't respond, Mrs. Zhang frowned, "It was really him? He is really too much. It's ok that he bullied our Xuxu before, but now that he knows that my Xuxu has a mother, he still dares to bully us like this. This is too much!"

As she spoke, she became excited and took the phone: "I can't make decisions on major matters, but I can still make decisions on the industries under my name. From now on, there is no need to discuss cooperation with the Zhou family. No one from the Zhou family can enter my beauty salon."

"Godmother, we can't do this." I got anxious when I heard it.

Mrs. Zhang Si was angry, but the consequence of her actions was that she delayed her own business.

Zhou Hanzhi is a person that even Master Zhang has to curry favor with, so discussing cooperation with him is something he would love to do. Moreover, even Shen Hualan comes to the beauty salon to recharge her card and the price starts from one million. If she really loses such a huge amount of money because of my affairs, it would really be a loss.

More importantly, I know very well in my heart that this matter is essentially my fault.

I have now drawn a clear line between myself and that man, and he will never have the chance to bully me again. The best thing for me to do now is to do my own thing in peace and stability.

If I deliberately targeted him at this time, it would seem like I couldn't let him go and was deliberately looking for excuses to continue to be involved with him.

Madam Zhang Si frowned and looked at me: "What's wrong, Xuxu, why did you stop me? Could it be that you feel sorry for Zhou Hanzhi and can't let him go?"

"I didn't!" My heart felt like it was burned by something and I denied it eagerly.

Of course, I didn’t do this because I felt sorry for Zhou Hanzhi, I did it because I felt sorry for my godmother.

But before I could say what I was thinking, a figure suddenly walked in from outside the door, accompanied by a pleasant laugh: "Aunt Zhang, what delicious food did you make? I can smell the fragrance from far away, and my stomach is growling with greed. I want to eat it too... Hey, it's Xuxu."

The voice was familiar, but the face was unrecognizable.

It’s not that I can’t recognize him, it’s just that this person has a face mask all over his face, so it’s really hard to recognize him.

"No wonder Aunt Zhang suddenly left me alone. Xiao Su even said Aunt Zhang was cooking in the kitchen, so I knew someone very important must have come. Now I see that it is indeed the case." The man continued to laugh and stretched out his hand to pinch my face. "What's the matter? It's only been a few days since we last met, and you've forgotten me and can't recognize me?"

I recognized her. This is Jiang Yin.
