It turned out that my godmother was traumatized by the last incident in which Zhou Pinzhi poisoned Nannan. She was afraid that someone with ulterior motives would contact Nannan again and hurt her, so she asked me specifically whether the sanatorium was safe.

"Let alone strangers, even if they are acquaintances, they cannot enter the sanatorium and see Nannan without verification by my aunt." I said with a smile, "Godmother, don't worry, the sanatorium is very safe."

"So that's how it is. That's good." Godmother smiled, but she squeezed my hand and said, "Xuxu, you don't like to meet strangers, do you?"

"Me?" This time I was really stunned.

Is godmother a little too nervous tonight? She is either worried about Nannan's safety or my safety. She asked whether the nursing home is safe and whether Nannan would be contacted by strangers. These are understandable, but why would she ask me such questions?

I was not deceived or hurt by strangers.

Even what happened at the engagement party was caused by people I know, Zhao Feihan, Zhou Hanzhi, Zhou Pinzhi and Zhang Xiaolu, all of whom I had met and dealt with before. There were really no strangers.

Why would my godmother ask me such a question?

But I still answered truthfully: "The people I interact with at work are fixed. Apart from investors, they are my colleagues. I don't interact with many people in my personal life, and I rarely interact with strangers."

"That's good!" Godmother nodded a little heavily.

She paused for a moment, then emphasized, "Xuxu, this is a good habit. Keep it up. Don't get in touch with strangers easily, especially recently. If someone you don't know takes the initiative to get to know you, you'd better ignore them."

"Godmother, what's wrong?" My godmother's reaction really surprised me, especially the deliberate emphasis.

What exactly happened? Or is there some secret that I don’t know? Why is she so worried about me and my daughter?

"It's nothing. Just promise me that if a stranger approaches you and tries to get close to you, you should ignore him or her. Don't even look at him, okay?" Godmother frowned and urged again, "Xuxu, promise me."

"Okay, I promise you that I won't contact strangers recently, and I won't have any relationships with anyone." Although I don't understand what happened, I have always been willing to listen to my godmother's words.

"Okay, our Xuxu is a good girl and listens to mom the most." The godmother was relieved and smiled with some satisfaction.

"Listen to your mother and you will have candy." I held her shoulders.

Since I was a child, I have envied others for having mothers. Now I also have a mother, and she loves and cares for me so much. Of course I am willing to be obedient.

My godmother smiled happily. She sent me to the guest room and gave me a few more instructions before leaving.

After I washed up, I sent a message to Wu Ling: "Sister, how are you?"

Zeng Zhi and Zhang Jiahao are rivals in love. Although there was no tension when they met tonight, they have fought before. I am not worried about either of them getting hurt, I am just worried that Wu Ling will be wronged by being caught in the middle.

Wu Ling called quickly: "Xu Xu, are you home?"

"I'm lying down, what about you?" I closed my eyes.

"I... humph, still arguing with someone!" Wu Ling snorted heavily, feeling deeply resentful.

"Arguing? Arguing with Assistant Zeng? Then you still have time to call me?" I opened my eyes. "Do you want me to listen to the live broadcast?"

"No, we've already had an argument, and I kicked him out now, letting him reflect on it alone." Wu Ling snorted again, with a hint of annoyance in his tone, "Xuxu, do you think this guy is sick? I told him that Zhang Jiahao and I are just ordinary friends now, and we have nothing, and there will never be anything in the future, but he just doesn't believe it!

He insisted that the other person rushed to pick me up and was being courteous, but it is impossible for someone to be courteous for no reason, he must have some ulterior motive!

He also said that it was a blessing that he arrived on time tonight. If I had really gotten into Zhang Jiahao's car, I would have been on a pirate ship and the consequences would have been disastrous!

What serious consequences can there be? The only consequence is that Zhang Jiahao sends me home safely. I am a pregnant woman, and even if Zhang Jiahao is a beast, he can't possibly do anything to me!"

I couldn't help but chuckle as I listened to Wu Ling say this. I used to think Zeng Zhi was a nice and gentle young man, the most suitable brother for Wu Ling, but I never realized he was so jealous.

But I also think it is understandable. After all, Zhang Jiahao and Wu Ling were once lovers, and their love was so deep. Moreover, Zhang Jiahao was pursuing Wu Ling relentlessly some time ago and tried every means to win her back. Now he suddenly says that he has let it go. This change is too sudden, and it is normal for Zeng Zhi to have doubts.

What's more, Zhang Jiahao came to pick up Wu Ling in the middle of the night, and talked and laughed with Wu Ling in a very intimate manner. As Zeng Zhi's official boyfriend, it was normal for her to be worried.

"Sister, please understand him. Assistant Zeng has lost you once. He has tasted pain, so it is normal for him to be vigilant. You two haven't been together for a long time, so don't make a fuss about these things. Call him in quickly and let him accompany you tonight." I comforted Wu Ling and persuaded her.

Wu Ling snorted again: "I'm just giving you face, Xuxu. If you hadn't spoken up for him, I wouldn't have let him in!"

"Okay, thank you sister for giving me face, go open the door." I smiled and prepared to hang up the phone.

From the other end of the phone came the sound of Wu Ling getting out of bed, walking around in slippers, and the sound of the door opening.

But the next moment, Wu Ling's surprised and puzzled voice came from the other side: "Where are you going?"

"Baby, Mr. Zhou has some urgent business, so I have to rush over. Don't wait for me tonight, go to bed first. Your husband will make soup for you when he comes back tomorrow." Zeng Zhi's voice was faintly heard from the other end of the line again.

Because of the distance, I couldn't hear clearly, but I was able to keenly capture the key points.

Something happened to Zhou Hanzhi.

"What's so urgent? Why do you have to go so late at night?" Wu Ling's tone was a little anxious.

"It's still about what happened before, you know." Zeng Zhi's voice was still unclear, "Okay, let's not talk about it anymore. I'm leaving first. Lock the doors and windows and be careful."

"Hey you..." Wu Ling wanted to say something, but before he could finish, there was a sound of a door closing.

Obviously, Zeng Zhi had already hurried out.

"You bastard, the boss is more important than your wife." I heard Wu Ling mutter.

But I was anxious, and my worry prompted me to ask, "Sister, what happened to Zhou Hanzhi?"
