Chapter 86: Newcomer
Mi Duo was not shy with strangers at all. She walked up and directly held Xie Ying’s hands, revealing a little girl’s sweet smile.
“Hello, Grandma. My name is Mi Duo.”
“Hello, Mi Duo.”
Xie Ying was obviously not used to having an outsider in her home.
She waved at Cheng Ling. “Come, Ling Ling. Grandma has something to talk to you.”
Then, Xie Ying went into her room.
“Mi Duo, take a seat. I’ll go in first.”
After Cheng Ling went into Xie Ying’s room, Xie Ying first looked outside and then closed the door.
She held Cheng Ling’s hand and asked, “Ling Ling, where did you find this person?”
“Grandma, I asked a friend of mine to help get someone to look after you.”
“What’s there to look after? I’m fully functional and can work by myself. You don’t need to spend money to hire someone to take care of me. We don’t have that much money now.”
“Grandma, you don’t have to worry about this.”
“We don’t need to spend money to hire Mi Duo. We just need to provide her with accommodation and food.” Cheng Ling was telling the truth.
She had helped Wang Xi a lot previously, and Wang Xi had repeatedly stressed that he would pay Mi Duo’s salary.
Cheng Ling knew that Wang Xi definitely did not lack this bit of money, so she let him be.
Xie Ying did not believe it. She frowned. “How could there be someone who would come to work for free?”
“It’s true! When have I ever lied to you?”
Seeing Cheng Ling’s confident look, and Xie Ying always trusted her granddaughter…
“You really don’t need to spend money?”
After Cheng Ling guaranteed it repeatedly, Xie Ying reluctantly believed it.
The two walked out of the room. Mi Duo was not sitting down but standing at the door.
Xie Ying took the initiative to ask, “Mi Duo, why are you standing at the door? Come in and have a cup of tea.”
“Sure, Grandma.”
She walked into the living room and sat on the sofa.
“Can I call you Grandma?”
Xie Ying was stunned. She didn’t expect Mi Duo to be so friendly.
She nodded. “Of course you can. You can call me anything you want.”
“Okay. I will work hard for Grandma in the future.”
Then, she looked at Cheng Ling. Cheng Ling looked back at her and nodded.
On the surface, she was here to help with the work, but in reality, Mi Duo could be considered half of their bodyguard.
Cheng Ling was sometimes not at home, and she was worried that Xie Ying would get bullied. So, she found someone to protect Xie Ying. This was her main purpose.
It just so happened that Mi Duo was a woman. She didn’t seem very aggressive, and it was easy for people to let their guard down. But in fact, she had pretty good abilities.
With her by grandmother’s side, Cheng Ling was relieved.
In the afternoon, Xie Ying found that Mi Duo was indeed very capable.
Although she looked delicate and tender, she was very agile and strong no matter. She could easily carry a bag of rice.
Due to this, Xie Ying quickly accepted Mi Duo.
In the evening, Cheng Ling and Xie Ying sat in the living room watching TV while Mi Duo was cooking in the kitchen.
Mi Duo was a northern girl who liked to put some chili in her cooking. The entire house filled with a fragrant smell that was appetizing.
Xie Ying sat on the sofa and drank tea contentedly while saying, “Mi Duo is really a nice girl. Ling Ling, we better pay her some money every month.”
“Grandma, it’s good that you like her. Mi Duo will help you if you need anything in the future. You have to take care of your health and don’t make yourself tired.”
“Ling Ling has grown up. You always think of me, Grandma is so happy.”
Just as the two of them were chatting and laughing while waiting for dinner, Wang Ma opened the door and entered.
After entering, she sat down on the sofa and acted as the host.
“Aiya, I’m sorry that I’m late. Old Madam Xie must have already prepared the meal by now, right?”
Wang Ma clearly meant that she didn’t want to cook.
“It’s time to eat, it’s time to eat!”
Mi Duo in the kitchen had just turned off the fire. She brought out the dishes and placed them on the dining table.
Due to chili, the colors of the dishes were very rich. The color, fragrance, and taste were all taken care of. It was very tempting.
Seeing Mi Duo, Wang Ma asked curiously, “Who is this?”
“Oh, Wang Ma, this is the person hired by Ling Ling. Her name is Mi Duo.”
Hearing this, Wang Ma couldn’t sit still.
“Hired? What does this mean? What about me?”
As she spoke, Cheng Ling had already helped Xie Ying to sit at the dining table.
She raised her head and smiled at Wang Ma.
“You? I see that your grandchildren are constantly bumping around. Why don’t you go home and take care of them? We don’t need you here anymore.”
“This… how can this be? I’m someone that Madam Xie specially hired!”
