Transmigrated as the Villain Boss's Precious Darling-Chapter 91: Giving Oneself Away

"It’s outside. I’ll take you."

Amanda Chapman couldn’t be bothered with the dishes anymore. She took Patrick Thorne outside. Tang Xiaonan and her second brother exchanged a look and continued their performance.

"Goodness... Take fewer bowls..."

Mrs. Chapman finally couldn’t watch anymore. A single bowl cost several jiao. ’This little girl from the Thorne family is really something,’ she fumed internally. ’So clumsy, she can’t even hold a bowl steady. It’s obvious she’s just a lazy glutton.’

"Oh..."

Tang Xiaonan slowly put the bowls back on the table and picked up just one. But she still held it with a tremor, wobbling every few steps. The sight made Mrs. Chapman’s eyelid twitch. Then, her gaze fell upon Phoebe Thorne, who was still sitting there like a queen, and Mrs. Chapman seethed with anger.

"I’ll clean up."

Brian Chapman couldn’t sit still any longer and had to get up. Mrs. Chapman immediately snatched the chore from him. "How can a grown man like you do this kind of work? I’ll do it. You should get to work."

The old woman worked with surprising speed, not looking at all like someone in poor health. Brian Chapman awkwardly pulled his hands back and sat down again.

Tang Xiaonan was truly disgusted by this family. ’They’re dirt poor, yet they act like kings, treating my aunt like a servant girl. Hmph, shameless bastards.’

Mrs. Chapman cleared the dishes in a flash, tossing them into the pot without washing them. Tang Xiaonan went over to the stove again, grabbed a cloth, and got ready to wash them. ’Hmph, let’s see if this family has the nerve to watch a little kid do their chores,’ she thought.

CLANG!

A bowl hit the pot with a loud, clear sound. Mrs. Chapman, who was almost back to her seat, spun around at the noise, pained with anger. ’This clumsy girl is clueless about chores but so eager to help. If she washes the dishes like this, isn’t she going to break a few more of my bowls?’

"Phoebe, quick, tell your niece to stop!"

"Auntie, I know how to wash dishes."

Tang Xiaonan held a plate up high, wiping it with a cloth in a way that made everyone worry it would drop at any moment. Mrs. Chapman felt her whole body tense up. Seeing that Phoebe Thorne showed no reaction, she had no choice but to go over and take over the dishwashing herself.

"Auntie, let me get the plates."

"Auntie, let me make the tea."

"Auntie, let me wipe the table."

...

Tang Xiaonan was especially proactive in helping with chores, but every attempt was heart-stopping. She was either dropping cups or bumping into people. Adrian Hawthorne saw through her act, a smile playing on his lips. ’This version of Chubby Tang is just as willful as she used to be. But I don’t find it annoying. In fact, I find it rather cute.’

"My Xiaonan just loves to do chores. She’s getting more and more sensible," Goldie Thorne said with a broad smile, watching his busy little niece.

Brian Chapman’s mouth twitched. ’It’s obvious she’s doing more harm than good,’ he thought. ’My brother-in-law’s daughter is just so thoughtless. Only the Thorne family would treasure her; I can’t see the appeal at all.’

’Still, what’s taking Amanda so long to show him the bathroom? She’s been gone forever and hasn’t come back to work.’

In the courtyard, Patrick Thorne was keeping Amanda Chapman occupied, asking about this and that. He was also telling her about the movie he saw today, *Painted Skin*. The guy had a real talent for storytelling, and Amanda Chapman was listening with great interest, having long forgotten about her chores.

Under Tang Xiaonan’s "enthusiastic" leadership, Mrs. Chapman washed the dishes, wiped the table, and made the tea, all in one smooth go.

"Grandma, you’re amazing at chores! Much better than my aunt!"

Tang Xiaonan clapped her hands and praised her loudly. Goldie Thorne also gave a thumbs-up. "Much quicker than my sister."

Brian Chapman’s expression changed slightly. Of course, he could hear the sarcasm in his brother-in-law’s words. His mother really didn’t look like she was in poor health when she worked. His brother-in-law was clearly implying that his mother was usually lazy.

Mrs. Chapman belatedly realized she had given herself away. She quickly pounded her lower back a few times and said with a sigh, "Getting old is no good. A little bit of work and my back is already aching. Aiyo... I’m going to go lie down for a bit. Please excuse me!"
