Qiao Anhao deliberately emphasized on the word "calming", while her gaze remained focused on Han Ruchu's face. She could distinctly spot the shock that flitted through her eyes and a hint of anxiousness.
Madam Qiao was aware that Han Ruchu had sent Qiao Anhao the swallow's nest. When she heard Qiao Anhao asking for food, she said indulgently, "Ruchu, you have spoiled her! She's starting to treat the Xu family as her own home, even demanding for food now!"
"My mother loves her for that." Xu Jiamu smiled before turning to face his mother. "Right, mum?"
Han Ruchu's late response attracted everyone's attention. The housekeeper behind her regained her senses instantly, silently nudging Han Ruchu's elbow. In a low voice, she whispered, "Mrs. Xu, don't just eat the cake, little master asked you something. She'll think that you are treating her as an outsider."
