When Aunt Zhou left, Mo Yaoxiong looked at Xiaoli, âWhatâs going on?â
Xiaoli quickly explained, âSir, Ms. Xu drove back from the south of the city by herself. As soon as I found out, I immediately went to her. Little Princess seemed normal, she probably doesnât know about this yet.â
âWhat did the hospital say?â
âIâve already asked, the gynecologist said that Ms. Xu is older and considered a high-risk pregnant woman. Sheâs also not in good health, so they suggested it would be best not to abort, as it could be dangerous.â
âWhen is the surgery?â
âThe surgery is scheduled for next Sunday, 9th April, which is⦠the day after Ms. Xuâs birthday.â
Mo Yaoxiong did not say anything more.
Xiaoli stood by the side, not daring to say a word.
The living room was so quiet it was frightening, with only the sound of the antique clock ticking on the wall.

Who knows how long it has been.
âKeep an eye on Xu Jing, anything happens, let me know immediately.â
âOkay.â
âYou can leave.â
âOkay.â
After Xiaoli left, only Mo Yaoxiong was left in the living room.
He sat there, exhausted, resting his head back on the sofa and closing his eyes.
Xu Jing, you mustnât blame me.
You are Xu Xianâs sister, Weiyiâs only aunt, the child in your belly, really cannot be kept!
**
Monday, at Yurui Law Firm.
To avoid being nitpicked by Lu Chenyu again, Mo Weiyi especially chose a navy blue business outfit today.
The top was long-sleeved, and the hem of her skirt reached her knees, quite conservative.
After arriving at the office at 9 oâclock, she began to carefully check her weekend assignment again to ensure no typos.
At 10 oâclock, Lu Chenyu arrived at work on time with his briefcase.
Wearing a suit and leather shoes, glasses on, eyes straight ahead, serious and business-like.
Mo Weiyi immediately sent her assignment to his mailbox and printed another copy, waiting for a face-to-face discussion with her master.
As expected, not long after, the landline on the desk rang.
Old Wang next to her immediately looked over.
His eyes filled with envy and jealousy.
Has Lawyer Lu been bewitched by the beauty of the Little Princess?
Starting from last Friday, he has been actively assigning her work, even giving her weekend assignments. Today, Monday, he called her as soon as he got to the office.
Is he grooming the Little Princess?
This was something that had never happened before. Forget about grooming, from start to finish, he, Old Wang, was the only assistant to Lawyer Lu. But nowâ¦
Sigh.
Turns out Lawyer Lu is also just an ordinary man, unable to resist the allure of a womanâs beauty.
All these years, he really has been blind, oh how he has been blindâ¦
Mo Weiyi knew nothing of Old Wangâs internal monologue. She quickly picked up the phone, greeting effervescently, âHello, Master.â
ââ¦â Silence met her on the other end.
Mo Weiyi blinked her cat-like eyes, âMaster? Hello? Can you hear me?â
ââ¦â Still, no one spoke.
Could it be someone other than Lu Chenyu?
Orâ¦
Is the phone broken?
Finally.
âDidnât HR teach you how to answer the phone?â
Mo Weiyi was taken aback, before she could speakâ¦
âBring your assignment, come to my office.â
âOkay.â
Before she could finish the âOkay,â the call was already cut off. Seems like ⦠heâs in a bad mood?
Mo Weiyi didnât think much about it, she got up with her printed assignment and headed to Lu Chenyuâs office.
The door wasnât closed, so she walked right in, âMaster, this is my case analysis plan.â
Lu Chenyu sat behind his black desk. Hearing her, he raised his melancholic eyes, âDonât you know how to knock?â
âMaster, your door was open, besides, werenât you the one who asked me to come here? I thought you were in a rush to see me, so I came right in.â
Having said that, Mo Weiyi looked at him with an innocent and uneasy expression, âYou werenât doing anything inconvenient, were you?â
Lu Chenyu: ââ¦â
He couldnât help but raise his hand to rub at his throbbing temples.
Headache!
Can someone come and take this donkey away?
The office fell into silence.
Mo Weiyi stood there, unable to resist opening her mouth again, âMaster, this is myâ¦â
âKnock, knock, knock.â
The sound of knocking suddenly interrupts.
Mo Weiyi turned around and saw the director of the HR department standing at the door.
âMr. Lu.â
Lu Chenyu lowered his finger, âCome in.â
Mo Weiyi: ââ¦â
Even with the door open, she had to knock formally?
As expected, Lu Chenyu asked, âHave you learned it?â
Mo Weiyi quickly nodded obediently, âYes, I have.â
Next.
âDonât the interns and new employees get orientation training these days?â
Director Wang immediately replied, âYes, they do.â
âThen why?â Lu Chenyu tilted his head, looking at Mo Weiyi, âWhy doesnât Miss Mo know how to answer the phone in a professional manner?â
Mo Weiyi was startled.
Director Wang too was startled.
This basic knowledge was in the firmâs rules and regulations, and she had already taught Mo Weiyi briefly on her first day as an intern.
But now, all she could do was admit her mistake, âIâm sorry, itâs my oversight.â
âNow, immediately, teach her.â Lu Chenyu narrowed his black eyes, stressing each word, intimidatingly.
Director Wang felt immense pressure and promptly started on-site training,âFirst, you must answer immediately after two rings to ensure clients donât think there is no one in the office, delaying any business or collaboration.â
Mo Weiyi nodded.
She did that right!
âSecond, after connecting the call, you should greet the other party and state the company or departmentâs name, such as, âHello, this is Yurui Law Firm.â You should never say âHelloâ directly, and never address someone as âyou,â as it could be deemed as impolite.â
Mo Weiyi: ââ¦â
I see.
Okay, she would correct that next time.
âThird, prepare a pen and paper in advance, to make necessary notes.â
âFourth, hold the handset in your left hand and the pen in your rightâ¦â
Like so, blabbing on and on, about eight or nine points about how to answer a phone call,
until she finished.
âDid you remember everything?â Lu Chenyu asked.
Mo Weiyi could only nod, âI remembered.â
âDid you learn it?â
Mo Weiyi continued to nod, âI learned it.â
Lu Chenyu seemed satisfied, âYou can leave first.â
âAlright.â Director Wang breathed a sigh of relief, thank god for her strong business ability, she could rattle off eight or nine points impromptu.
â¦
âLetâs discuss the analysis proposal you sent me.â
Upon hearing these words, Mo Weiyi immediately stood erect, ready to listen attentively.
And thenâ¦
âWhat did you write here? Itâs in shambles, with zero logic, in a mess, without any practical suggestions, you canât even string together basic sentences! You had two complex cases and took two days to churn out this analysis of fewer than 500 words? Are you trying to mock me or the client?â
Mo Weiyi: ââ¦â
He threw the two pieces of paper on the table, and Lu Chenyu continued his blistering assault, âI am suspecting that you havenât attended a single class in your three years of university. Where do you get the nerve to apply for an internship?â
Mo Weiyi answered very truthfully, âItâs true I didnât attend classes in my freshman and sophomore years, but I did attend the last two months of classes in first semester of junior year. As for the internship, didnât you approve of it, Master?â
Now it was Lu Chenyuâs turn to, ââ¦â
His right fist clenched tightly.
As if grasping hard on someoneâs throat.
âMaster, I have really been working very hard.â Mo Weiyi started to pout and whimper, âI looked up a lot of information and worked in the study all weekend. My eyes have blurred and I didnât go out at all, not even to see the newest movies. I wrote these 500 words by thinking independently, even my hubby praised me for being serious.â
Lu Chenyu lowered his head, feeling a headache coming on.
He rubbed his temples with one hand and waved his other hand quickly, âGet out, get out!â
Mo Weiyi â⦠Okay.â
**
Back in her office, not long after,
With a âthud,â a huge pile of stuff was placed on the table.
âBefore leaving work today, bind these files.â Old Wang asked, âDo you know how to do binding?â
Mo Weiyi shook her head.
âIâll teach you.â Old Wang was about to pick up the clips.
âNo need, I canât do this, find someone else.â Mo Weiyi didnât hold back.
Old Wang kept a straight face, âBut this is the job Mr. Lu has assigned to you.â
Mo Weiyi made a face, âReally?â
âOf course.â
Old Wang felt extremely pleased, âMr. Lu said that having you analyze cases is really too difficult for you, letâs start with small tasks like binding files and threading.â
Mo Weiyi: ââ¦â
Old Wang straightaway picked up the clip and started his lecture, âFirst, clip the files with the clip, put some waste paper underneath, use the hole punch to punch holes in the file, making sure the distance between the holesâ¦â
Finally, when she learned how to do it, with Old Wangâs guidance, she finished binding the first file, Old Wang spoke again, âMr. Lu said, if you donât finish binding all these files, youâre not allowed to go off work.â
