Chapter 10: Adequate Compensation

The next morning.

As Miao Jian expected, the Miao family indeed sent someone. Their attitude was quite friendly, and they were talking to Chen Lian downstairs with a smile.

She didn't speak loudly, but Miao Jian, who was sleeping upstairs, vaguely heard some sounds.

It was so early that Miao's mother was really anxious. Miao Jian covered her head with the quilt, but she didn't want to get up yet.

But before she could squint for a while, An Nuan came to call her. She called carefully and persistently, and her gentle voice kept ringing in Miao Jian's ears. As soon as Miao Jian opened her eyes, she got up, washed and tidied up a little, but she was only ten minutes old.

Went downstairs in minutes.

It was a late autumn morning, and the chill had already set in, but the heater was on in the living room, so it was still warm and not too hot.

"Miao Miao, why did you come down here? Miss Lin has been waiting for a long time." Shao mother Chen Lian took Miao Jian's hand with a slight reproach and sent her to Lin Ru.

Lin Ru is about forty years old, not much different from Miao Jian's biological mother. She looks kind and kind, and the makeup on her face is not too heavy. She doesn't look too busy early in the morning. She only acts a little occasionally.

Being too close makes people feel a little uncomfortable.

Miao Jian felt a little strange when calling her "Miss" at this age.

Lin Ru smiled and said hurriedly, "It's okay, I just waited for a few minutes. I'm very happy to see Miaomiao."

After saying that, she was surprised again, as if she had seen something extraordinary, "Oh, Miaomiao, what's going on on your head? Does it hurt?" Lin Ru frowned and held Miao Jian's hand.

, I felt distressed for a while.

Miao Jian complained in her heart. As the person specially sent by Miao's mother to pick her up, you can't get this information clearly? Why are you pretending to be surprised?

"It's okay. I accidentally bumped into it at the banquet. The injury is not serious. Don't worry, Aunt Lin." Miao Jian smiled back, resisting the urge to take Lin Ru's hand away from her, and politely said

answer.

Lin Ru suddenly realized, and she opened her mouth, "No wonder someone suddenly made a fuss that night and said they wanted to call an ambulance. Alas, it was me who didn't take good care of you. It's my fault. Miaomiao is really sorry." Lin Ru

He took the trouble to say polite words while squeezing Miao Jian's hand.

Miao Jian couldn't help it anymore. She pursed her lips and smiled, not wanting to reply. She wanted to take her hand away. It was too uncomfortable to be pinched.

Before Miao Jian could do anything, Shao Xinghan came down from upstairs. He had already packed up, was wearing a suit, his face had sharp features, and he looked cold and handsome. He looked like he was about to go out.

"Brother!" Miao Jian called to Shao Xinghan, seemingly very happy.

At this time, Lin Ru let go of her hand, looked at Shao Xinghan walking downstairs, and called out respectfully: "Master Shao."

As soon as Lin Ru let go of her hand, Miao Jian immediately retracted her hand and put it in her pocket no longer showing it.

Shao Xinghan probably knew what she was here for, and nodded, indicating that he had seen her before. He turned to look at Miao Jian, and Miao Jian looked at him with smiles in her eyes.

Shao Xinghan smiled slightly and said to Shao's mother Chen Lian, "Mom, I'm going out first. I might not be back at noon. If you need anything, call me." After saying that, he was about to leave, but before leaving, he didn't forget to turn around.

, said "Let's go" towards Miao Jian.

Lin Ru stood there with a slight embarrassment. With Shao Xinghan here, she could not get involved in this family. Her previous polite words were of no use. She was just an outsider.

But after a while, Shao Xinghan left. She smiled at Miao Jian again, and the polite words were ready to come out.

Miao Jian couldn't stand those annoying polite words, so she said directly, "Aunt Lin is here to take me back, you can tell me anything." Miao Jian said as she walked, leading Lin Ru to sit on the sofa.

Lin Ru held back what she was about to say, and she smiled. At this time, the housekeeper brought tea and handed it to her. She took it and took a sip, still smiling kindly, "Miao Miao."

You are really smart, I can't hide anything from you." She casually glanced at Chen Lian sitting aside and paused.

"Aunt Lin, it's okay to just say it. My mother is not a weirdo."

Miao Jian saw that she wanted to talk but refused, so he gave her another reassurance.

Lin Ru was exposed. She looked at Chen Lian apologetically and smiled at her. Chen Lian also smiled at her without any hostility.

Lin Ru spoke slowly: "Miao Miao has always been a member of the Miao family, and it is only a matter of time before she returns to the Miao family. Mrs. Miao said that if Miao Miao really wants to return to the Miao family, she must talk to the Shao family

, cut it off... cleanly." As she said this, her eyes kept glancing at Chen Lian's face.

After hearing the last sentence, Chen Lian's face changed. She was still smiling before, but now her smile was gone. Her face was a little stiff, but it wasn't really angry. Anyway, it made people feel uncomfortable.

Lin Ru quickly continued, "Of course, it doesn't mean that we will stop immediately. After all, the Shao family has raised Miaomiao for so many years. We, Mrs. Miao and Master Miao, are still very grateful. Besides, we have developed feelings for so many years. We will give enough to the Shao family."

The compensation can be regarded as repaying a favor owed to you all these years."

The anger on Chen Lian's face was already obvious. Before, she had maintained her years of politeness because of her self-restraint and the polite words just now, and tried not to get angry. But now she really couldn't help it. No matter how polite it was, what's the point?

The Miao family wanted to use money to cut it off, but they really took the Shao family too lightly.

Miao Jian quickly sat down next to Chen Lian, patted her back gently, and told her not to be too angry. She frowned slightly and accused mercilessly, "Why are you so capitalist, do you want to use money to buy off family ties?

"

This is why Miao Jian hates polite words. They are of no use in themselves. If the two of them have a disagreement, they will still have to maintain a superficial harmony because of the previous polite words. If they really fall out, recalling the previous polite words

, I feel sick again, why should I wrong myself like this!

So in Miao Jian's opinion, if you can avoid saying polite words, try not to say them.

Lin Ru hurriedly explained, "This is not a buyout, we will provide sufficient compensation."

"Enough compensation? Your Miao family underestimates our Shao family, do you think we have never seen the money?" Chen Lian was persuaded by Miao Jian, but she was still angry. When she heard the words "enough compensation", she became furious.

He refused harshly.

Lin Ru wanted to make some more excuses, so Chen Lian called the butler over, meaning to ask him to see off the guests.

The housekeeper walked up to Lin Ru very politely, bowed slightly, and made a gesture of invitation. Lin Ru swallowed her words again, and she reluctantly stood up and left slowly.
