"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."
