Just as they were chatting, a servant walked in and called Tong Pei out, saying that the uncle from the extended family was looking for him.
“I’m going out for a while. You guys go ahead and chat. If the banquet starts, bring Guo Miao along.” He didn’t know what these people were up to by calling him out at Old Madam Tong’s birthday banquet.
Guo Miao nodded at Tong Pei, signaling him not to worry.
After Tong Pei left, Tong Xin asked, “1 heard from Tong Pei that you almost
met with danger abroad. You scared me to death.”
Tong Xin’s eyes were filled with worry.
Guo Miao shook her head. “Tong Pei was with me that day. Nothing serious happened in the end.”
“The Stuttgarts and the Orsolas are complex people. I’m afraid there will still be trouble in the future.” Tong Xin sighed deeply.
Although she was not part of the Tong family, she still had some understanding of these families.
“Don’t worry, I’m back safe and sound,” Guo Miao said with a smile.
Tong Xin patted Guo Miao’s head. “Why don’t you stay in Beijing this time? I’ll get Grandma to help you find a school so that the Tong family can protect you,” Tong Xin probed.
This was actually Tong Pei’s intention, but it was not fitting for him to say it himself, so he got Tong Xin to say it.
If Guo Miao stayed in the capital, it would be much more convenient for her to treat Tong Xin.
Guo Miao shook her head. “I won’t trouble you and Grandma. My brother and father are both in Haicheng. I still have to go back and take care of them.” Tong Xin sighed softly.
It seemed that her younger brother, who was extremely charming in the capital’s social circle, was not very attractive to this little girl.
Guo Miao had planned to develop her career in the capital, but she was in
Haicheng now, and she had some unfinished business to attend to. She would return to the capital in half a year, at most.
Tong Xin didn’t know what Guo Miao was thinking. She thought that Guo Miao would stay in Haicheng forever.
“Haicheng is also very good. I’ll still go back to Haicheng to monitor my pregnancy. That way, it’ll be more convenient for me to see you,” Tong Xin said with a smile.
The two of them chatted for a while more before a servant knocked on the door and said that the banquet was about to begin.
The three of them stood up and walked towards the hall.
Tong Xin’s room was separated from the hall by a long corridor. From time to time, servants would pass by.
Two servants carried a full box over.
The box they were carrying contained the congratulatory gifts that the old lady had received. The bracelet that Su Ning had sent was placed at the top.
When she walked in front of the three of them, one of the servants suddenly slipped and the gift box fell to the ground.
Seeing the boxes falling toward Tong Xin, Guo Miao quickly stood in front of her.
Zhong Wei also shielded Tong Xin behind him.
The servant who slipped lowered her head and apologized, “I was careless. I’m really sorry.”
Her companion helped her up and took a closer look. Her feet were already swollen.
“I’m really sorry for disturbing you.” The servant who slipped and fell lowered her head and kept apologizing, appearing quite pitiful.
“It’s okay. Just be careful next time,” Zhong Wei said.
Since Tong Xin wasn’t hurt, it wasn’t a big deal.
“I want to ask if this lady can do me a favor,” requested the other servant. She looked at Guo Miao.
Guo Miao was a little confused and pointed at herself.
The servant nodded. “These are the old lady’s birthday gifts. They’re going to be placed in another room, but my fellow colleague’s foot is injured now. Everyone is very busy tonight. Maybe…”
Guo Miao understood what she meant. “I can help you carry them.”
It was just carrying the boxes and was nothing important.
The servant’s eyes flashed with a hint of imperceptible pride.
“Miss Guo, you’re our guest. How can we let you do this kind of thing?” Zhong Wei said.
Guo Miao was their family’s benefactor, so they couldn’t let her do such a thing.
Guo Miao shook her head. “It’s nothing. You guys go ahead. I’ll go over later.” She helped the servants tidy up the boxes, and the two of them carried the boxes and walked to the other side.
At this moment, at the other end of the corridor, Su Ning was watching what was happening..
