"Xiaoya is so capable, come sit down and eat with us."

Lin Han's meals were prepared separately by Aunt Li and had already been delivered upstairs for her to eat before Gu Qizheng came home from get off work.

Xiaoya knew that the Gu family doted on Lin Han, so they hadn't allowed her and Gu Hong to go upstairs before. Now, she was smart enough not to overstep the boundaries and take any of Lin Han's food or drinks.

The Gu family felt that she was still sensible in this regard.

After dinner, Xiaoya insisted on washing the dishes, and after washing the dishes, she swept the floor and wiped the table. In short, she didn't let herself stop, and she would do whatever she could find to do, even if there was no work to do.

Grandma Jiang got tired of watching and decided to stop and go back to her room for a nap.

Xiaoya was busy outside all by herself.

For many days after that, Xiaoya would go to the Gu family's house every morning after she guessed that the Gu family had eaten breakfast.

As always, he started looking for work as soon as he entered the door.

At first, Grandma Jiang tried to stop her, but later she just stopped caring.

Anyway, if you tell Xiaoya, she'll look pitiful, as if someone has bullied her.

Let her do what she likes to do.

After working at Grandpa Gu's house for three consecutive days, Xiaoya finally felt relieved.

She felt that her job had become stable, so after finishing her work, she no longer sat idly in the Gu family compound like before, but began to be full of curiosity about this old cadre family compound.

Like Grandma Liu visiting the Grand View Garden, she wandered around the courtyard, looking around curiously. Xiaoya was actually very ambitious; she longed to succeed and live a good life.

She thought to herself, "Lin Han, who can't do anything, was able to marry into such a good family and enjoy a life of luxury every day. I'm much more hardworking than her, so why can't I also find a good family to marry into?"

Xiaoya thought about it more and more, and it made perfect sense. She felt that this was the epitome of the good family she longed for. After all, where could be better than this retirement home for retired cadres?

Thinking about this, Xiaoya suddenly felt that her future became clearer.

She realized that instead of constantly trying to please the Gu family and waiting for them to reward her with a job, she should take the initiative and seek an opportunity to stay permanently.

In this way, she can not only achieve her goals, but also truly change her destiny.

Xiaoya braided her hair into a beautiful long braid, straightened her clothes, and smiled and greeted everyone she saw on the street. If anyone asked her, she would say that she was a relative of Grandpa Gu's family.

In time, she will eventually meet someone who appreciates her.

While searching for her new home, Xiaoya continued to work diligently at Grandpa Gu's house.

Hearing Aunt Li's praise of Xiaoya, Lin Han couldn't help but feel a little suspicious. According to Aunt Li, Xiaoya was not only capable, but also took on most of the housework by herself, which made Aunt Li admire this little girl very much.

However, Lin Han's impression of Xiao Ya was completely different from that of Aunt Li.

She recalled the scene when Xiaoya and Gu Hong went upstairs together. Xiaoya's small figure hid behind Gu Hong, looking somewhat dull and reserved, like a frightened quail.

Now that Gu Hong has been driven away, Xiao Ya should stay obediently in the guesthouse and wait for Grandpa Gu to arrange a job for her.

But the truth was quite the opposite; Xiaoya frequently came home, which made Lin Han suspicious of her motives.

Lin Han thought to herself, if Xiao Ya were to act like this without any ulterior motives, even a ghost wouldn't believe it.

After all, Gu Hong's actions left a very bad impression on Lin Han, and she naturally extended this negative emotion to Xiao Ya.

In Lin Han's view, Xiao Ya may have inherited Gu Hong's genes and become an ungrateful wretch.

This preconceived notion made Lin Han hold a prejudice against Xiao Ya and find it difficult to change her opinion of her.
