Chapter 153 153: Whoever advises is the enemy (first update)

Chang Xi looked at John and saw that he felt her gaze and gave her a gentlemanly smile. Compared with James, this John was more polite and gentlemanly, so she also smiled and said, "I don't object to you making friends with him."

, but you know his situation, and I will not allow such reckless behavior like today, John, I hope you can understand my desire to protect him."

This was said tactfully, but John, who had been in Daewoo for a few years, still immediately understood the subtext. The woman in front of him did not really want him to get close to the man named Lin Yuqi. Sure enough, as James said before, this woman is called Mrs. Chang.

This woman is an extremely difficult person to deal with.

Although she always had a smile on her face, her words were not harsh, and even her behavior made people feel extremely comfortable, he felt that there was always a mask on her face that he could not touch no matter what.

Her sincerity, compared to the little peach girl who can let people see through her inner thoughts at a glance, this Mrs. Chang is like the mountain hidden in the clouds and mist, which people can't see clearly or touch.

"Don't worry, Mrs. Chang, I will be careful next time and won't scare him again."

Chang Xi smiled and waved her hands, "No, no, no, John, you misunderstood me. I meant don't let him scare you. You can't scare him like this." It would only aggravate his emotions.

Lin Yuqi would not allow anyone to disturb him when it came to matters he was concerned about, not even her.

John couldn't help but feel embarrassed. This Mrs. Chang really didn't take any advantage of her words.

"By the way, where is Ergouzi? Where did he go?" Chang Xi said suddenly, and then said apologetically to John, "John, I didn't expect Ergouzi to be so derelict in his duties. I will change you again right now."

Reliable guide..."

When John heard this, he quickly stopped him and said, "Ms. Chang, you misunderstood. Ergouzi has always, um, done his duty faithfully. It was I who asked him to go to the kitchen to bring me some food. Now when the time comes, he will be hungry."

Later, his face was full of embarrassment. After all, he was eating and drinking for free in this courtyard.

James grabbed John's neck and said, "Okay, okay, Chang won't blame you, right? Chang."

Chang Xi smiled and nodded, "Our way of hospitality is to make guests feel at home, so, John, you must not be polite."

Only then did the embarrassment on John's face fade away, and he returned to his usual gentlemanly look.

Chang Xi didn't stay too long and separated from the two of them after saying a few words.

Watching her walk away, the gentlemanly expression on John's face instantly disappeared, and he said to James in British: "This Madam Chang is very strong."

James spread his hands and replied in the same language, "I advised you not to come. It will be difficult for you to develop her into a believer. God, Amen." He immediately made the sign of the cross on his chest.

John did not give up, "How can you know if you don't try? If I can develop her into a believer, I will have great merit."

James sneered, thinking that he was wishful thinking, "Anyway, I don't care what you do, but I won't affect my friendship with her for you."

In the final analysis, making money is the most important thing.

In response to James' words, John just smiled slightly and did not answer any more.

Chang Xi returned to her residence and saw Xiaotao taking care of the accounts. As soon as she saw her coming in, she immediately got up and made tea. When she saw that Huniu was not there, she immediately asked curiously.

"I sent her back to deliver the message."

Xiao Tao just said "Oh" softly, then served the brewed tea in front of Chang Xi, and then prepared to sit down and continue doing the accounts, but Chang Xi pointed to the seat opposite, "Xiao Tao, sit down, let's talk

say."

Xiaotao didn't doubt that he was there and sat down directly. She thought Chang Xi wanted to find someone to chat with, so she put snacks such as melon seeds on the table.

Seeing this, Chang Xi did not stop her behavior, which was fine. She didn't want the atmosphere to be too serious. "Xiao Tao, John is injured, did you know?" She said while staring at Xiao Tao.

Xiao Tao answered naturally, "I know." Then she thought that it was the injury she sustained while trying to save herself, so she was embarrassed to tell her about it, but she didn't say anything about John's portrait for her.

I feel a little embarrassed to talk about such things.

"Why haven't I heard you mention it before?" Chang Xi frowned.

Seeing Chang Xi's expression, Xiao Tao was afraid that she would misunderstand, so she hurriedly said, "Mrs. Chang, you were busy making tea bricks some time ago. I couldn't bother you with these things, so I didn't mention it now. Mrs. Chang, don't get me wrong.

I didn’t mean to hide it…”

Chang Xi reached out and held her hand, "Don't be nervous, I don't mean to blame you, you just have to tell me these things, you know?"

Xiaotao nodded immediately and promised: "I won't do it next time."

Chang Xi clapped her hands to show that she understood, and then changed the topic, "When I first went to visit John, I saw that the little silver peach blossom you often wear fell at his place. It is an item from my daughter's house. It is lost.

It’s not good after all.”

Xiao Tao then cried out "Ah" and immediately reached out to touch her head. As expected, she didn't touch the small peach blossom made of broken silver. "I accidentally dropped it, Mrs. Chang, I'll go get it back right away."

After saying that, she immediately stood up, bowed and hurried out.

Chang Xi didn't stop her, she just watched Xiao Tao's hurried back disappear from her eyes. On the way back, she had already made up her mind that she would not give Xiao Tao any advice. If she was really in love, nothing she said would be of any use.

Women cannot be persuaded when it comes to their emotions, and whoever persuades them is their enemy; if she is not emotionally moved, then she should not say this, as this may be self-defeating.

Girls' feelings are always poetry, and she has also been through it since she was a girl. If she can understand this vague emotion towards the opposite sex, let Xiao Tao experience it by herself. She has to go through this after all.

She just took this opportunity to see what John was going to do. It had better not be what she thought, otherwise, hum!

Fortunately, she didn't see the shadow of emotion in Xiao Tao's eyes, her eyes were still crystal clear.

When Xiao Tao came back, she was followed by an annoyed Ergouzi.

Chang Xi looked at Xiao Tao's head and saw the small silver peach blossom, then put the matter aside for the time being, and then looked at Er Gouzi while drinking tea, "Do you know where you went wrong?"

Ergouzi had actually come to his senses a long time ago, that John had deliberately sent him away, but by the time he rushed back, the venue had already ended, and he only knew what had happened just by listening to other people's comments.

"Ms. Chang, I'm not doing my job well, please punish me."

Chang Xi frowned when she saw the young man kneeling down to beg for punishment. She really didn't like the behavior of kneeling back and forth, but for Ergouzi, who didn't study much, if she didn't let him kneel, she was afraid that he would really

He would cry, feeling that she was unwilling to forgive him.

That’s it, let’s leave it at that.

"I'll fine you twenty cents of silver, Xiaotao, please write it down."

Upon hearing the punishment of twenty cents, Ergouzi bared his teeth in distress, but at this moment he did not dare to argue for fear of losing this hard-won job.

"Er Gouzi, do you know where you went wrong?" Chang Xi asked again.

Ergouzi had actually made a profound self-examination, "The foreigner named John has always been very easy to talk to, and he was also very kind to me. When I told him where to go to see the scenery, he followed me with his drawing board on his back, so... I just

I was careless, thinking that he was easy to fool and didn't need to worry too much, so... I couldn't help but relax, and then... I made a mistake."

He knew that he thought of John too well, so he didn't keep an eye on him too closely.

Chang Xi saw that Ergouzi didn't look like he was lying, so she didn't pursue it any further. For smart people, words should be clear, otherwise it would have the opposite effect, so she signaled Ergouzi to get up.

Ergouzi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Mrs. Chang was still willing to use him, which made him even more determined to complete this errand.

"Where have you been with John lately?"

"John has been in the other courtyard since his hand was injured. This little peach girl can testify." Ergouzi said, "Before he was injured, he had been to the back hillside of our village... By the way, he also went to the workshop.

On the higher hillside nearby, he said that the houses in our workshop were well built, and he wanted to paint a picture on a high place..."

Chang Xi just listened and did not interrupt his narration. In fact, it was useless for John to climb up the hillside. When she originally designed this factory, she deliberately used the angle of the eaves to block the possibility of peeking into the workshop from a high place.

So there is nothing to gain from looking at it from a high place.

Xiao Tao was frightened when she heard it. These words sounded all right, but when she thought about it carefully, everything seemed to be inconsistent. She couldn't tell what was wrong. In short, she was keenly aware that things didn't seem to be what she thought.

She had always treated John as a guest, and he had saved her life, so he was a benefactor, so her behavior in taking care of him was just to repay her kindness, and she had no other thoughts.

But now after listening to this conversation, she no longer thought so. Mrs. Chang obviously didn't trust John. She narrowed her eyes slightly and gradually had an idea in her mind.

Chang Xi saw Xiao Tao's expression changing from the corner of her eye, knowing that her mood must be ups and downs a lot, so this was enough for the time being.

After beating Er Gouzi for a while and giving him two plates of cakes, Er Gouzi left with satisfaction, feeling extremely grateful to Chang Xi for his kindness.

After dinner, Xiao Tao went out again. Chang Xi did not stop her, but Huniu beside her frowned, as if she was hesitant to speak.

Finally, she couldn't help but said, "Ms. Chang, Miss Xiao Tao... she has been running to John these days, is that okay?"

After all, Xiao Tao is Mrs. Chang's personal maid. If bad rumors spread, won't it damage Mrs. Chang's reputation? This is one, and the other is that she always feels that John the foreign devil is not of my race and his heart must be different.

, Xiaotao got too close to him, fearing that he would take advantage of her.

Chang Xi just replied lightly, "Xiao Tao will be measured."

She had already tightened the strings that needed to be tightened, so she would not lose confidence in this little girl.

Huniu didn't say anything else. Since Mrs. Chang said that, she just believed it. At worst, she would observe more in private, so that Xiao Tao wouldn't fall into the trap of someone with serious intentions.

After all, she always felt that Xiao Tao's fall from the horse that day was not as simple as it seemed.
