The more he said, the more aggrieved he felt. Lowering his head, the little guy cried. His shoulders kept rising and falling as he used his tiny hands to rub his eyes. He looked very pitiful.
âSir.â Su Ruowan felt sorry for the boy. âDonât blame him! Itâs normal for kids to fight each other while playing.â
For some reason, her heart tightened with the little boyâs crying.
Su Ruowan reached out and patted his head, but unexpectedly the kid threw himself into her arms.
Jiu Jiu was immediately squeezed out. Upset, she looked at the boy in her mommyâs arms and then up to the sky, bursting into tears.
âOh no, babyâ¦â Instantly, Su Ruowan became a little flustered. The two childrenâs cries only grew louder and louder, as if they were competing to see whose lungs were the strongest.
The man beside them shook his head helplessly. âWhat a naughty boy! Pretending to cry again! Heâs cunningly taking advantage of the womanâs sympathy to get away with what he did.â
However, it wouldnât do him any favor to expose the kid at that moment. So he said, âMaâam, my car is parked outside. Weâd better take your daughter to the hospital now in case the wounds get infected.â
Su Ruowan nodded and followed him out of the park, holding the two kidsâ hands. .
In the childrenâs hospital, Jiu Jiu was examined by the doctor. Luckily, the wounds werenât serious.
Following the doctorâs instructions, Su Ruowan wrapped an ice bag in a towel and gently pressed it on the lump. She comforted her daughter, âMy baby, itâll be okay. Iâm putting the ice bag on your wound now, and soon it will stop hurting. Then we can go home, okay?â
âOkay,â the little girl replied in a sad but soft tone. Curling up in her motherâs arms, her big black eyes remained fixed on the two strangers in front of her.
Wu Mengxian cleared his throat and said, âMaâam, Iâd like to introduce myself. My name is Wu Mengxian, and this naughty boy here is my nephew. You can call him Yan Yan.â
Yan Yan? The more Su Ruowan looked at the boy, the more she thought he looked like Jing Muchen. Maybe this was just a coincidence.
Shaking Yan Yanâs little hand, Wu Mengxian told him, âWhy are you still standing there? Say youâre sorry to this aunt.â
âAunt?â The little boy looked at him slightly stunned. âSheâs more like a big sister. Sheâs so young and beautiful. Definitely doesnât look old enough to be an aunt. Uncle, youâre really dumb. If you are always like this, youâll never find a wife! Donât you agree, big sister?â
With a smile, Su Ruowan looked at the sly expression on the boyâs face and felt warm inside.
Under her gentle gaze, Yan Yanâs heart thumped as his little face flushed timidly.
âMommy.â Su Ruowan felt a soft touch on her hand. Looking at Jiu Jiu, she saw her pink nose and the traces of tears on her sweet face. âCan we wait until my wounds are completely recovered before I go back to school? Otherwise, I wonât be the most beautiful girl in the class anymore.â
The woman couldnât help but laugh. How could a four-year-old girl care so much about her appearance? She had no idea who she took after.
âOkay! When the wounds are healed, my baby will still be the most beautiful little princess!â She pinched her daughterâs nose and smiled. .
After the incident, Su Ruowan took a few days off to be with her daughter. Upon the day of her return, Wu Lili grabbed her hand as soon as she saw her and said, âThe boss has been in a terrible mood lately. He will get angry just about anything. Did he get scolded by his wife or something?â
Su Ruowan shook her head with a smile. Wu Lili was her best friend at the company. She had a big heart and loved to take care of everyone. Her only flaw was that she was a little bit too keen on gossiping!
Ruowan reminded her, âLili, donât get involved in the bossâs personal affairs. How about the report? Have you finished the payment report for the past few days? The boss said you should hand this in by the end of the month.â
âOh, right!â Wu Lili patted her forehead repeatedly and added, âThank you for reminding me. Iâve been so busy with dating my boyfriend these days that I completely forgot it. Iâm going to work on it now!â After she finished saying it, she had rushed back to her desk. .
âSu Ruowan, come to my office.â Wang Dekai opened the door and shouted.
The womanâs heart jolted as she stood up and walked towards the general managerâs office.
Wang Dekaiâs chubby figure was sitting on the black sofa. He took a sip of water and asked, âHow long have you been in the company?â
Su Ruowan replied, âI came to the company in May, almost three years ago, Mr. Wang.â
âI see.â Wang Dekai nodded. âLast time, when Zijian took you to the Dacheng Companyâs ribbon-cutting ceremony⦠Do you remember what happened?â
Su Ruowanâs eyelids trembled slightly. âMr. Wang.â Su Ruowan pondered very carefully what she was going to say. âWhat happened that day was just an accidentâ¦â
Wang Dekai stretched out his hand and interrupted her, âIt doesnât matter if it was an accident or not. Many people in our industry are spreading awful rumors about this. They are saying that our company is indecent and that some of our etiquette girls always expose themselves in front of rich men, and some of them are too rude to the distinguished guests. Some people even took pictures of what went down that day and posted them on Weibo. Iâm under a lot of pressure! Also, there is Zhang Luoyaâs boyfriend. Do you know who that man is?â
Su Ruowan nodded and Wang Dekai continued, âYou must have heard of the famous Jing Yang Group in D City. Around here, no one who runs a business dares to challenge the Jing Yang Group! Although Jing Muchen hasnât taken over the company yet, itâs easy for him to do so.â
As she heard this, Su Ruowan pursed her lips as her heart sank.
It was Jing Muchen again⦠Damn it!
