"Nothing. The failure of this mission is within my expectations, it has nothing to do with Xu Yu Chu. "

Xiao Zhang's mother stared at him doubtfully. The doubt in her heart was not dispelled by his words.

Xiao Chen's mother knew that Xiao Chen would never lie on official matters, but she was still a little hesitant and tried again.

"You didn't lie to me?"

Xiao Chen's face remained expressionless as he looked coldly at his mother.

Xiao Ma did not see any traces of lying in his eyes, and completely dispelled the doubt in his heart.

"Alright, I'm tired too. I'll go take a rest first. You can get busy."

With that, Mother Xiao picked up her bag and headed upstairs.

Xiao Chen looked at her back view as he sat in his seat. A trace of helplessness flashed in his icy eyes.

In the next few days, Xu Yuzhu quietly stayed in her room to recuperate.

Every afternoon, Mother Xiao would go out with her friends for a drink of tea and a stroll around the city. She would spend the rest of her time in the villa.

She did not take the initiative to find trouble with Xu Yuchu, but she was also constantly paying attention to her movements.

As time slowly passed, Xu Yuchen's injuries were mostly healed, and she could no longer find an excuse to stay in her room.

Today, Mother Xiao was sitting on the sofa in the living room, focusing on reading a book.

Steward Qin just happened to pass by her and heard her lazy voice, as he slowly said.

"Go and get the woman from upstairs. She has been raised for so many days, it's about time for me to come out and exercise."

Hearing this, Housekeeper Qin was slightly surprised, but he lightly nodded his head: "Yes."

At this time, Xu Yu Chu, who was basking in the sun in his room, was in a very happy mood.

If she hadn't been trapped in this villa, she might have been in a better mood.

Dong dong dong …

A sudden knock on the door interrupted her thoughts and she turned to the door, blinking doubtfully.

When she opened the door and saw Steward Qin, a bad premonition arose in her heart.

"Miss Xu, Madam Xiao requests your presence."

Hearing this, Xu Yuzhan's gaze became dull, and the smile on the corner of his mouth also became incomparably stiff.

She held the doorknob nervously, smiling awkwardly as she tried to sound out the situation.

"I... Can I not go down? "

These days, she had deliberately hid in her room. The food was brought here by a servant, so she was afraid that she would run into Mother Xiao.

In the end, even if he could dodge Junior High, he could not dodge 15!

The expression on Housekeeper Qin's serious face didn't show any emotion as he spoke in a businesslike manner.

"Miss Xu, I think it would be better if you went down."

Xu Yu Chu smiled embarrassedly and said dryly, "I'm going to change."

The moment she closed the door, she could not help but sigh heavily as she mumbled to herself.

"I really want to leave."

No matter how unwilling Xu Yu Chu was, he still had to go downstairs to see his mother.

After all … When one was under a roof, one had no choice but to lower their head.

Xu Yu Chu uneasily sat in front of Xiao Niang, his eyes lowered to cover up his nervous mood.

Xiao mama quietly sized up Xu Yuchu, her sharp gaze landing on Xu Yuchu's body.

She felt like she was sitting on a hot pot.

Amidst the quiet atmosphere, a faint sense of awkwardness slowly suffused the air.

After a long period of silence, Mother Xiao slowly put down the teacup in her hands and sat up straight as she coldly looked at Xu Yuchu.

"Miss Xu, to be honest, I really don't like you."

Hearing these straightforward words, Xu Yuzhu awkwardly smiled and did not respond.

Mother Xiao acted as if she didn't see her expression as she continued.

"Although I do not like you, my son really likes you. As a mother, I do not wish to be an evil person that can take care of the Lovers."

Xu Yu Chu blinked her eyes doubtfully, she suddenly felt that her brain capacity was not enough.

What did his mother mean by this?

"So …" I am willing to give you all a chance. You need to prove to me just what qualifications you have to stay by Xiao Chen's side. "

Mother Xiao's current attitude was like the lofty and aloof empress dowager.

Her haughty attitude did not offend Xu Yu Chu, and she even had a little admiration for her mother.

Xu Yu Chu lowered his eyes, covering his complicated emotions as he tightly clenched his hands.

She was already tied up with Xiao Chen. In other words, Xiao Chen's mother was also her mother.

After coming to this realization, Xu Yuchan mustered up her courage and raised her clear eyes to meet his mother's gaze.

"Aunty, thank you for giving me this chance." I will try to prove it to you. "

Xu Yu Chu's neither servile nor overbearing attitude made his mother think more highly of him.

"I don't want a third person to know what we're talking about, do you understand?"

Xiao Ma's tone was very gentle, but the threat in her tone could be clearly heard.

Xu Yu Chu nodded and promised, "Don't worry, there won't be a third person who will know."

Mother Xiao nodded with satisfaction and said slowly.

"Since you are Xiao Chen's woman now, you should do what a woman should do."

She paused for a moment, the corner of her mouth tilted upwards as she continued with a slight smile.

"First of all, the first thing is to cook for my husband. "Right now, there are still two hours until noon. There's enough time for you to prepare a meal."

Hearing this request, Xu Yuchen blinked his bright eyes and looked at his mother again.

Xiao Ma's expression instantly turned cold as she questioned in a sharp tone.

"Can't I?"

Xu Yu Chu shook his head, smiled awkwardly and said, "No, no."

"Then why aren't you going?"

With her cold grunt, Xu Yuchen reflexively stood up and ran into the kitchen as if she was escaping.

Mother Xiao had already instructed the people in the kitchen to leave. The large kitchen was completely empty.

Xu Yu Chu let out a long breath and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead.

Mother Xiao was indeed a woman born in a wealthy family. Her aura was strong, and when facing the pressure that she released, Xu Yu was unable to put up any resistance.

Looking at the things in the kitchen, she smiled and said to herself, "Luckily I was only cooking."

This was all thanks to Xu Ruo Wen. If he hadn't abandoned the mother and daughter pair at that time, he would have been living in poverty.

She would not have the opportunity to learn to cook, and she would want to share some of the pressure on her mother.

Mother Xiao, who was sitting in the living room, had been carefully listening for any activity in the kitchen.

As time passed, the kitchen became quiet.

Xiao Niang was a little worried, so she waved at Steward Qin and instructed him.

"Go into the kitchen and see what the woman is doing."

Steward Qin nodded. Just as he was about to walk into the kitchen, Xu Yu Chu came out.

In her hand was a tray with a few prepared dishes on it.
