How much more foolish can you get?

If she wasn’t this foolish, would she have been deceived by an old man?

Went to get treated and ended up getting herself involved.

Luckily, she grew up with a keen eye for money and knows how to collect it.

“How did you get here? Do you need me to give you a ride?”

Nan Jiaojiao raised her brow, pointing toward the parking spot. “That’s Bo Family’s car. I was supposed to have lunch at Bo Family’s old residence today. Grandma prepared a lot of delicious foods for me.”

“You’re not married yet, did they pay you for calling them family? Grandma does sound affectionate!”

Lu Zhenzhen poked her forehead, “Until the day you get married, everything can change. Look at Mo Tingshen, as soon as the temptress came back, he couldn’t even keep his pants on. There aren’t many decent men out there, so you better be wise and not give everything away foolishly!”

Nan Jiaojiao covered her forehead, muttering, “Got it.”

She was being obedient, so Lu Zhenzhen kept the rest of her thoughts to herself.

Saying too much wouldn’t be appropriate. In fact, what she just said might be inappropriate too. She didn’t know Bo Yanching’s character, but every time face-to-face, he didn’t care about his dignity and held Nan Jiaojiao dear, anyone with eyes could see the sincerity.

Lu Zhenzhen rubbed her temples; lately, she had been too resentful.

“Alright, you should head back. Be careful on the way, and text me when you arrive. I’m heading back to the office.”

Nan Jiaojiao suddenly remembered, “Did you drink just now?”

“No, just smelled the wine. I don’t drink at noon, so it doesn’t interfere with serious matters.”

The two chatted as they walked out together. Their cars were parked in different directions. Lu Zhenzhen watched Nan Jiaojiao get into her car before heading off to find hers.

There were two additional cars in the open-air parking lot of the old residence. Nan Jiaojiao glanced at them just as the butler came out for a stroll. She casually asked, “Did someone come?”

The butler quickly jogged over, “Miss Nan, you’re back?”

“Yes.” Nan Jiaojiao cast a glance at the cars.

The butler said, “Miss Yi came over, and the other person looks familiar, but I forgot who it is.”

Nan Jiaojiao took a moment to remember who “Miss Yi” was, luckily she only knew the one.

She sensed something wasn’t right and turned to leave.

“Young Madam.”

Auntie Wu coincidentally came out. She moved even faster than the butler. Within a few steps, she blocked Nan Jiaojiao with a smile, “Old Lady has been talking about you, if you don’t come back, she’d be anxious enough to go out looking. I heard a sound and guessed you were back, so I came out to find you, Fourth Young Madam.”

“Fourth Young…” Nan Jiaojiao’s expression twisted a bit, “Grandma?”

“Grandma is inside.”

Auntie Wu deliberately teased her.

Nan Jiaojiao instantly drooped her brows and pleaded, “Auntie Wu, good Auntie Wu, can you say I haven’t returned yet?”

Having been by the Old Lady’s side for decades, she knew what Nan Jiaojiao was trying to do and gently reassured, “The lady herself doesn’t like such occasions. With the Third Young Master away, she’s inside almost turning Miss Qianqian’s Barbie dolls into antiques. Guests are guests, and it’s lunchtime. After the meal, you may sit and chat for a while, right? It’s not easy to send them off quickly.”

Nan Jiaojiao sighed, “Alright, Auntie Wu, please hint to grandma later not to overdo it. I’m afraid I might slip up.”

Auntie Wu chuckled softly, “Don’t worry, I’m here.”

Nearing the door, the sound of laughter could be heard inside. Just as Nan Jiaojiao’s hair peeked from behind the screen, the Old Lady, with her sharp eyes, immediately spotted her.
