The next day, Zheng Song unusually did not come to the garment factory, which made Tian Xiaohui feel a little uneasy.

Ye Yun was busy in the workshop, and Qin Zheng was probably busy in the provincial capital as well, so he didn't go back to the garment factory at all. She felt uncomfortable being alone in the room and wanted to drag a chair out to sunbathe, but then she felt that her behavior was a bit pretentious. So she simply put the chair down and took the initiative to find Ye Yun and said that she wanted to go back to the pastry shop.

She was physically strong, and the minor injury on her leg healed in just a few days.

As for the pastry shop, aside from Ye Yun personally managing it on the first day, Xiu'er is now in charge.

Now that Xiuer is pregnant, she can manage to run the branch store with her husband at the Lotus Market, but it's really difficult when she's in her own store full of children.

Ye Yun listened without saying a word.

This girl is simple-minded. The reason she was sent to the garment factory wasn't entirely because she was injured, but more so to keep her away from the troubles of the Xing family.

Tian Xiaohui persisted.

He grabbed her arm and shook it, saying in a spoiled tone, "Sister-in-law, please let me go back. I'm so bored here, I'm practically turning into an immortal."

Ye Yun was speechless and choked with emotion.

Listen to this, does it sound like something a normal girl would say?

"Have you thought this through? Once you step out of this door, I won't be able to protect you anymore. Xing Yujie's parents might be waiting for you outside and will keep bothering you."

These words startled Tian Xiaohui.

But it only lasted a second before she waved her hand dismissively: "Whatever, things always have to come to an end. I can hide for a while, but can I hide forever? If they come looking for me, I'll cut them off quickly and decisively!"

Yo yo yo!

Ye Yun looked her up and down and sneered, "A clean break? You're willing to do that?"

"Oh, sister-in-law!"

Tian Xiaohui stomped her foot and looked at Ye Yun with a resentful gaze, a little annoyed by the teasing.

I know perfectly well she can't bear to part with it...

But they still insisted on exposing her.

My sister-in-law is so annoying.

"Sister-in-law, please let me go back. Xiuer is pregnant, and all the children at the school store are little kids. It wouldn't be good if she got tired." She hugged Ye Yun's arm and shook it, her eyes full of pleading.

Okay.

Xiuer had already hired someone else. She wasn't a farm owner who exploited labor. She wouldn't be willing to let a pregnant woman run the shop alone.

However, since Tian Xiaohui insisted on going back, she couldn't say anything more.

“Okay, go ahead. Zheng Song left his old bicycle at the factory. If you want to go back to the pastry shop, just ride his. He took the old one you stole. He said he doesn’t trust you to ride other people’s bikes. His is brand new, only recently bought, so you can ride it. He’ll ride the one you stole from now on. Consider it a bike swap with you.”

"Huh?"

Tian Xiaohui looked surprised and scratched the back of her head in confusion, not understanding what Zheng Song was doing.

"If he trades a nearly new car for an old one, wouldn't he be losing money?"

"Idiot, all you can think about is whether it's a loss or not?" Ye Yun glanced at her while busy with her work, annoyed by her lack of ambition: "Sometimes you really should take a look at your head."

Tian Xiaohui immediately felt extremely wronged.

"Sister-in-law, although I'm not smart, I'm not so stupid that you'd say that about me, am I?"

Ye Yun scoffed.

"I'm sorry, but I have the right to remain silent about what you said."

After saying that, she turned and left.

Tian Xiaohui wanted to follow, but was stopped by the designer who was with Ye Yun: "Miss Xiaohui, the factory manager still needs to work with us on the new designs. Why don't you wait until we get off work?"

Aunt Tian also cautiously reminded her from the side, "Xiao Hui, don't delay your sister-in-law Ye Yun's work!"

Tian Xiaohui: "..."

Feeling disliked by so many people, she pursed her lips speechlessly, turned around, and left the workshop with a displeased expression.

She had just stepped out of the workshop.

A security guard was stationed right in front of us.

"Oh, Miss Hui! We've finally found you! Hurry to the main gate, someone's looking for you!"

The gatekeeper, exhausted and wiping the sweat from his brow, grabbed her wrist and hurriedly led her toward the main gate.

Tian Xiaohui was completely bewildered.

Who? Who's looking for her?

Could it be that Xing Yujie's parents are still unwilling to give up and want her to plead for them?

Her conjecture was quickly refuted.

At the wide gate of the garment factory, a simply dressed old woman lingered, looking somewhat uneasy. She carried a basket covered with a red cloth on her arm, which seemed to be filled with something good. She stood on tiptoe, constantly peering into the factory.

The woman's eyes lit up when Tian Xiaohui slowly appeared with the gatekeeper.

As Tian Xiaohui approached, the woman's face was filled with smiles. She handed the basket she had brought to Tian Xiaohui and said in a gentle voice, "You must be Miss Xiaohui, right? These things are for you."

"For me?"

Tian Xiaohui looked the woman up and down.

It was confirmed that she did not know this person.

She couldn't help but look at the gatekeeper, feeling uneasy. She had recently had a conflict with the Xing family. Could it be that the Xing family was setting a trap for her?

Seeing her puzzled expression, the gatekeeper said, "Miss Xiaohui, she said she's Captain Zheng's mother. I've never met her before and don't know her, which is why I rushed to find you. Don't you know her either?"

Tian Xiaohui shook her head.

She had never met Zheng Song's mother.

However, looking at the woman in front of her, she felt a sense of kinship and simply smiled, "I believe her."

As she spoke, she stepped aside to make way for the factory entrance.

Extending her hand in a gesture of invitation, she smiled at Zheng's mother and said, "Since you are Captain Zheng's mother, please come in. Are you here at the garment factory to see him? He didn't come this morning, but he might come at noon. However, I can't be sure. You can come in and rest for a while."
