Ye Linchen found Xu Renshi's words very strange.

What could be wrong with the company? Could there be a problem with the sponsorship?

She immediately agreed.

"Okay, I'll be there in ten minutes."

Ye Linchen hung up the phone, quickly hailed a taxi, and rushed to Jinqiao Company.

As soon as I entered the company, I heard a familiar voice coming from Xu's HR office, shouting at the top of its lungs.

Why does that sound like Meng Xueyun's voice?

How could she possibly be here?

Ye Lin quickened his pace and walked to the door of the personnel department office. Looking through the half-open door, he saw Meng Xueyun!

Meng Xueyun seemed to have dressed up specially today.

She was wearing a black wool coat, and her long, wavy hair was draped over her shoulders. At first glance, she appeared to be a well-educated and reasonable person.

However, with her eyebrows raised, her mouth downturned, and her eyes fierce, she looked exactly like a shrew.

It ruined what was originally a fairly good image.

Meng Xueyun was standing in front of Xu Renshi, shouting loudly.

"I'm Ye Linchen's biological mother! Why can't I receive her salary?!"

Xu Renshi patiently said to her, "I've explained it to you several times already. Xiao Ye is a part-time worker. She doesn't have a basic salary, only bonuses, and she's already taken them all."

Meng Xueyun's voice suddenly rose.

"Who are you kidding! What kind of job doesn't pay you? All those new outfits she's wearing, if they weren't bought with her salary, what are they? You've all conspired to fool me!"

Xu, the HR manager, sighed and said, "I don't know how Xiao Ye paid for her clothes, but she really doesn't have a basic salary at our company."

She pointed to a document spread out on the table, "The contract is here, I've shown it to you. What's the point of us lying to you?"

Meng Xueyun, however, looked completely unconvinced.

"She's just a country bumpkin who can't even speak properly, what kind of sponsorship could she possibly get? Don't try to fool me!"

She pointed at Xu, the HR manager, and threatened, "You're a heartless company! Ye Linchen is still a student. It's illegal for you to make her work. You'd better behave yourselves and pay her back wages right now, or I'll report you to the labor bureau!"

Ye Linchen couldn't listen anymore, so he pushed open the door and went inside.

“I’m over 18 and can work! I signed the contract with the company, and I understand all the terms. The company’s actions are perfectly justified. You can’t do anything about it, no matter where you sue them.”

"As for my dividends, they are earned through hard work, so of course they should be paid to me. No one can collect them on my behalf without my authorization."

When Meng Xueyun saw Ye Linchen enter, the whole tirade she had prepared caught in her throat. She stared at her blankly, speechless for a long time.

Meng Zihan had told her before that Ye Linchen had found a job, earned money, and bought beautiful new clothes.

She had assumed Ye Linchen bought cheap street vendor goods, but now she realized that wasn't the case at all.

The Ye Linchen before my eyes is no longer that country bumpkin who just came from the countryside.

Shy and timid, wearing ill-fitting old clothes.

Now she dresses fashionably and beautifully.

If you bumped into her on the street, she might not even recognize you at first glance.

Meng Xueyun's gaze swept over Ye Linchen from head to toe like a searchlight.

Her hair was cut short, into the trendy bob, which made her small, delicate face look even more exquisite.

She was wearing a pink down jacket, which was stylish, lightweight and warm.

The collar was trimmed with light pink fur.

It's prettier than any of Meng Zihan's down jackets!

She wore a pair of knee-high leather boots, the leather was soft and had a great sheen, tightly wrapping around her slender and long calves.

It was very appropriate.

It doesn't look bulky or heavy at all.

Meng Xueyun recognized it at a glance—it was made of sheepskin!

These long sheepskin boots aren't cheap!

And there was the delicate silver necklace she wore over her black turtleneck sweater, and the exquisite digital watch on her wrist…

Meng Xueyun was increasingly alarmed as she looked at the outfit; it must have cost at least several hundred yuan!

Several hundred yuan!

That's enough for Xiaohan to pay her tutoring fees!

Their family doesn't even spend this much on living expenses for a month!

Meng Xueyun's initial surprise turned into a raging fire of anger.

Isn't this like sticking RMB bills all over your body?

Meng Xueyun pointed at Ye Linchen and began to curse angrily.

"You heartless ingrate! You only care about enjoying yourself and don't care about your parents' lives!"

"They have money to burn, but they won't spend it on their families!"

"Do you know how close we are to starving!"

"Even a dog knows to be grateful when I feed it; raising you is worse than raising a dog!"

Her voice came from the office, attracting her colleagues to gather around, curious about what had happened.

Ye Linchen glanced at his colleague peeking in through the door, suppressed his anger, and retorted without backing down.

“I’m a senior in high school. My family doesn’t give me any living expenses or tuition. I have to work hard to support myself. Now that I have the ability, what’s wrong with buying myself a couple of new clothes?”

She tried to keep her voice level and continued, "I'd like to ask you, why are you going hungry?"

“My dad is the workshop director of the converter workshop in the steel plant. We have a three-bedroom house. My younger siblings wear and use the best things. But I have to earn my own tuition and living expenses! Who is the heartless one here?”

"You gave birth to me and raised me, but I've already given it all back to you. I don't owe you anything anymore! You kicked me out of the house and refused to acknowledge me as your daughter. Now that you hear there's money to be made, you immediately come to claim me as your daughter. What you're claiming isn't a daughter, it's money!"

"I don't want a mother like you who only cares about money and has no affection or maternal love!"
