Nell looked at the ribs in her bowl and smiled.
"You’re not angry anymore?"
Lizzy blushed from embarrassment and Gideon glared at her.
"Who asked you to listen to others talking nonsense?"
Nell bumped his arm, signaling him not to scare the child, then took a bite of the ribs.
"Mmm, the ribs that our Lizzy took for me taste better than the others."
Lizzy heard this and smiled happily.
She then put a few more dishes in Nell’s bowl. Nell was so amused by Lizzy that she felt much better and even ate half a bowl more than usual.
After dinner, Nell called the grandparents and told them that Lizzy would not be coming over.
She did not say why for fear that if she said too much, the two elderly would be worried. She just said that Lizzy did not want to go and that it was fine for her to stay here. If she could not handle them, then she would hire two more nannies to take care of them.
When the Old Master and the Old Madam heard this, they did not insist further.
The next day early in the morning, Nell had just sent Lizzy out for piano lessons when she heard that Jean had come again.
Nell knew why she came and when she got to the living room, sure enough, Jean was sitting on the sofa, waiting for her with an expectant face.
"Nelly, you're back. Did Lizzy go to school?"
Nell walked over with a smile on her face.
"Yup. Aunty, why are you here again today?"
Jean looked at her with annoyance and snapped.
"Look at what you said. What kind of words are these? This is my nephew's home. Is it wrong for me to come?"
Nell's smile faded and said, "Of course not. Aunty, please have a seat."
Only then did Jean sit down.
After sitting down, Jean hesitated for a moment and said, "Umm… Nelly, yesterday was my fault. I was in a hurry and spoke out of turn. You won't blame me, right?"
Nell lifted her cup of tea, took a sip, and said in a soft voice, "Aunty’s an elder, so of course, I won't blame you."
Jean was relieved when she heard this.
"What about the money…”
"I've already spoken to Gideon and he's willing to lend it to you."
Nell said this and took out a check.
"This is the 100 million you asked for. I hope you can invest it smoothly this time and earn more."
Jean took it with a smile and nodded her head repeatedly.
"Okay, thanks for your blessing. When I make some money, I'll be sure to repay you."
She stood up and added. "Then if there's nothing else, I'll leave first. I'm still busy."
Nell nodded and watched her leave.
After she left, Aunt Joyce came over, somewhat disgruntled.
"Madam, you’re too kind. Madam Leith provoked the relationship between you and the Young Lady yet you still gave her money."
Nell faintly said, "After all, she’s a member of the Leith family. She also helped to raise Gideon in the past. It’s 100 million, just let her be."
When Aunt Joyce heard this, she could not say anything else at the moment.
She just cleared the table and left.
At this moment, on the other side.
Jean finally got the money and happily left Fengqiao Villa.
As soon as she left, she received a phone call.
"Hello, Jean, where are you? Are you still going to today's stone-betting?"
Jean smiled and said, "Of course, I'll go. Where are you? I'll pick you up."
"Okay, then I'll send you the address."
