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

Chapter 882

I seemed to be crying.

The wetness on my fingertips is my tears.

"What kind of nightmare did you have? You were calling me husband and saying no, and your face was full of tears." Wu Ling gently wiped my tears with a tissue and asked me tentatively, "Did you dream about Xiaoye?"

I was still immersed in the dream just now and couldn't come back to my senses.

Wu Ling touched my head again and comforted me: "You have contacted Xiao Ye, he should be fine now, don't worry about him, he will be fine."

"Sister, I dreamed about Zhou Hanzhi." I was still staring at the ceiling, but suddenly spoke at this moment, "I dreamed that he was in the hospital, and was beaten with a ruler by Madam Zhou. There were blood marks on his body."

"...Zhou Hanzhi? You dreamed about Zhou Hanzhi?" Wu Ling paused, very surprised.

I didn't answer her, but I could still feel tears slowly falling from the corners of my eyes.

The dream was so real, as if it was happening right in front of me, and my panic and sadness were also real.

Was Zhou Hanzhi really severely punished by Old Madam Zhou?

"Xuxu, don't think too much. Dreams are always the opposite." Wu Ling wiped my tears again and whispered, "I received a message from Zeng Zhi this morning saying that Madam Zhou had woken up and Zhou Hanzhi was taking care of her by her bed, but I didn't hear about him being beaten. Think about it, Madam Zhou is so old and she just woke up from her illness. Even if she was angry with Zhou Hanzhi and wanted to beat him, she didn't have the strength, let alone draw blood from him. You are just worrying too much. Relax, he will be fine."

After listening to Wu Ling's words, my emotions slowly calmed down.

She was right. Even if Old Madam Zhou wanted to punish Zhou Hanzhi, she didn't have the energy to hit him.

Even if Madam Zhou really beat him, she wouldn't be as cruel as in my dream, so Zhou Hanzhi should be fine. This dream was purely because I was overly worried.

Wu Ling was still wiping my face, her movements were very gentle. I held her hand, looked at her, and began to explain: "I am worried about him because I owe him a favor, not because I miss him. The husband I called in the dream just now was not him, I called Xiao Ye. Sister, please don't misunderstand me, and don't tell anyone about this, okay?"

"Don't worry, I won't. I know everything." Unexpectedly, this time, Wu Ling didn't say a word and she agreed readily.

I breathed a sigh of relief and closed my eyes again: "I want to sleep a little longer."

But when I closed my eyes, what appeared before my eyes was still Zhou Hanzhi's pale, fragile face with red marks.

I know I shouldn't think of him, but at this moment, I don't want to restrain myself anymore.

I admit that I am worried about him, but he and I are just ordinary friends. Considering that he saved my daughter, it is not too much to show a little more concern for a friend, right?

I think that even if Xiao Ye knew about this, he would not blame me. He should believe that my heart already belongs to him. At this moment, I have no other thoughts about Zhou Hanzhi.

Wu Ling left me space and time, and walked out of the room quietly. But I didn't fall asleep, but dozed off with my eyes closed.

But just as Wu Ling closed the door, I heard her groan.

I opened my eyes immediately, only to see Wu Ling put her ear to the phone, closed the door and hurried away. She lowered her voice and said hurriedly, "What did you say? Say it again, I didn't hear it clearly just now. Is this true? That's amazing, let me tell you..."

I couldn't hear what she said next because she had closed the door and walked away.

It turned out that Wu Ling was talking to someone on the phone. I thought she had tripped over the threshold.

Although my feet still could not touch the ground and could not move, the old Taoist priest did not restrict my movements. He gave me a single crutch to make it easier for me to walk.

After lunch, my godmother was busy calling Mr. Zhang to discuss something. I sat in the courtyard of the Taoist temple with my daughter in my arms to bask in the sun. I took out my cell phone and made a video call to my aunt.

My aunt had obviously been waiting for a long time and the video call was quickly connected. In the camera, she and my aunt were sitting together. The moment they saw me and my daughter, they both showed happy smiles on their faces.

"Xu, Xuxu, your face, your face is yellow." My uncle started by pointing out that my face was yellow.

I touched my face and changed my angle: "No, uncle, it's just a problem with the light. I eat well and sleep well here, and my complexion will get better."

"Did you really sleep well? I think you have dark circles under your eyes." My aunt questioned.

I changed my position again: "It's also a matter of angle. Those are not dark circles, but the shadow of my eyelashes. I slept well. Aunt and uncle, don't worry about me."

"Really?" Although my aunt still didn't quite believe it, she let go of the topic and lowered her voice, "Xuxu, there is something that your godmother doesn't want you to tell, but your uncle and I feel that we should still tell you."

"What's the matter?" I asked immediately.

What happened that my godmother didn’t let me know?

"After you and Zhou Hanzhi left that day, someone from Xiaoye's family came out to accuse me and your uncle, and even had a quarrel with Master Zhang. This matter later became quite a big deal, and they even wanted to cancel your engagement with Xiaoye." Auntie whispered, her expression looking solemn, "In the end, it was Xiaoye who stood up and said that he believed in you. He said that no matter what, he would be with you and would never cancel the engagement."

"Well, that person also called Xiaoye a bastard!" My uncle also added.

My heart skipped a beat; I really had no idea about this.

But I also guessed that after I left, things would definitely not be peaceful between the Zhang and Yuan families. After all, this matter was related to the Yuan family's reputation. Mr. Yuan and Sister Min would definitely be angry, and they would propose to cancel the engagement, which was also within my expectations.

Xiao Ye really took a lot of pressure for me, and I felt a little heavy in my heart: "Okay, I understand."

"Oh, by the way, that man seemed to be the eldest son of the Yuan family. I heard Xiao Ye call him big brother." Aunt said again.

I was stunned: "The eldest young master of the Yuan family, Yuan Youan?"

"Yes, that's his name. This person is so weird. When you and Ono were discussing your marriage, this person was not present at all. But after something happened at the engagement party, he suddenly showed up and insisted that Ono break off the engagement with you." Aunt's tone became more and more solemn.

"Something's wrong." I nodded.

Yuan Youan's presence has never been strong, and he didn't pay attention to Xiao Ye and my affairs before. Why would he suddenly come out to make a fuss?

Is it because of the Yuan family’s reputation?

Is it because he has a deep brotherly love for Ono and can't bear to see his younger brother being wronged?

Or is there some other hidden secret?
