Chapter 1680 Being Too Loyal Isn't Good
Xu Xiaoxiao grumbled inwardly at Fu Yanchen, muttering under her breath, "Fu Yanchen... training people to be too loyal isn't good either... rigid and old-fashioned."
Look, look at those bodyguards, they're like a cold, unyielding wall, guarding the ward door tightly, no matter how the three of them explained, they just wouldn't let them through.
Xu Xiaoxiao
Left with no other choice, Xu Xiaoxiao picked up her phone and called Fu Yanchen, the big boss behind the scenes.
Fu Yanchen's deep, magnetic voice came quickly from the other end of the phone: "Xiaoxiao, what's wrong? What do you want to eat?"
Xu Xiaoxiao said angrily, "Eat, eat, eat... all you know is eating..."
Fu Yanchen... what... what did he do to offend his little darling this time?
"What's wrong with your bodyguards? Weiwei and Xiaomei came to see me, but they wouldn't let them in no matter what. You should talk to them about it."
Fu Yanchen was silent for a moment on the other end of the phone, then said, "Okay, I'll tell them right away, don't worry."
Not long after hanging up the phone, the bodyguard's voice came from outside the ward: "Madam, your friend can come in now." Xu Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on her face.
A short while later, Nan Weiwei and Xiao Mei entered the ward carrying some things.
Xiao Mei was carrying a bag full of fruit and supplements. The bag was bulging and looked heavy.
Xu Xiaoxiao saw what Xiaomei was carrying and scolded, "Xiaomei, you don't need to. Just come in person. Why bring anything? Your monthly salary isn't high."
Xiao Mei's family is not wealthy, and these fruits and supplements must be a considerable expense for her.
Xiao Mei blushed instantly to the roots of her ears upon hearing Xu Xiaoxiao's words. She lowered her head, nervously twisting the hem of her clothes, and stammered, "Um... Xiaoxiao, please don't be offended, it's just some ordinary fruit. I know you eat imported fruit, um..."
Her voice trailed off; she knew these things were too cheap, but...
Looking at Xiaomei's nervous and flustered appearance, Xu Xiaoxiao felt a pang of sadness, knowing that Xiaomei had misunderstood her.
She held Xiaomei's hand and said, "Xiaomei, what are you saying? How could I look down on you? I also grew up in an orphanage. I was only taken home by Fu Yanchen when I was 8 years old. When I was a child in the orphanage, we often didn't have enough to eat or wear. We would fight over a toy until our faces turned red. That's why I know that making money is not easy, and we should save as much as we can."
Xiao Mei listened to Xu Xiaoxiao's words and remained silent, her heart filled with complicated feelings.
At this moment, Nan Weiwei, fearing that Xiaomei might overthink things, quickly stepped forward and said with a smile, "Xiaoxiao, please accept Xiaomei's gift! It's her heartfelt wish. If you refuse, she'll feel bad and won't buy it next time..."
Xu Xiaoxiao was afraid that Xiaomei would misunderstand and think she was disliking her gift, so she quickly took the fruit and supplements from Xiaomei's hands and said with a smile, "Okay, then I'll accept them! But Xiaomei, you don't have to be so polite next time. We're good friends, there's no need to be so formal. If you do that again, I'll get angry, you know?"
Xiao Mei finally smiled after hearing Xu Xiaoxiao's words. She nodded vigorously and said, "Okay, Xiaoxiao, I remember, I won't do it again."
The three girls sat down and started chatting.
Fu Yanchen came over after finishing what he was told...
