"Su Xiaoxiao, what are you doing here?"

Su Xiaoxiao had just reached the office door when she encountered Zhong Yajing. She was caught off guard and just stood there dumbfounded, staring at the person who had just arrived.

Didn't you hear me? I asked you a question.

Zhong Yajing simply couldn't accept such a woman as her daughter-in-law, but she didn't expect her father-in-law to protect Su Xiaoxiao so much, and even told the couple not to interfere in Nangong Yi's private affairs.

Suddenly, she noticed the employee ID card hanging around Su Xiaoxiao's neck. Upon confirming that it was an employee ID card from the Nangong Group, Zhong Yajing's face immediately darkened.

"How did you even get in here?!"

"Mother-in-law, can we talk somewhere else?"

Su Xiaoxiao didn't want her colleagues to overhear their conversation, so when Zhong Yajing questioned her sharply, she simply asked her to go somewhere else to talk.

But Zhong Yajing ignored it.

"Su Xiaoxiao, don't think I don't know what tricks you're playing. You used underhanded methods to get close to my son, thinking that by cutting ties with your gambling-addicted parents, I would accept you..."

"lady!"

When Dong Jinyang rushed down after receiving the notification, he overheard Zhong Yajing scolding Su Xiaoxiao.

He swiftly stepped between the two and said respectfully to Zhong Yajing, "Madam, have you misunderstood something? Su Xiaoxiao entered the Nangong Group based on her own merit, and the president knows this."

"How could a woman who graduated from a third-rate university get into the Nangong Consortium?"

When Zhong Yajing saw Dong Jinyang, the fierce look on her face softened somewhat, but her attitude towards Su Xiaoxiao remained one of disdain and contempt.

"Madam, the rules of the Nangong Group were personally set by the former president, and every employee of the group has been hired through assessments. If you have any objections, you can raise them through the board of directors, and the president will take them into consideration."

"How dare you talk to me like that!"

Zhong Yajing never interferes in the affairs of conglomerates, but that doesn't mean she's unaware of the complexities involved.

However, Dong Jinyang's words made her lose face.

He wasn't afraid of offending Zhong Yajing at all. When her face darkened again, he still said calmly, "Madam, the president is not in the company right now. If you need anything, I can pass on your message. I hope you won't affect the employees' enthusiasm for work."

"Aunt Zhong, what brings you here?"

Just as Dong Jinyang was speaking up for Su Xiaoxiao, Luo Yutong suddenly ran over.

She pretended to be surprised to see Zhong Yajing, and excitedly threw herself into her arms, saying, "Aunt Zhong, Yutong missed you so much!"

"You silly child, you didn't even tell Aunt Zhong that you were coming back to China. If your mother hadn't suddenly called me, I wouldn't have known that Yi'er had asked you to come to the conglomerate to study."

After glancing at Luo Yutong, Zhong Yajing's eyes immediately welled up with heartache.

"You look so pale, did Yi'er give you too much work?"

"Aunt Zhong, I'm fine. Brother Nangong took good care of me."

...

Su Xiaoxiao hadn't expected Zhong Yajing to like Luo Yutong so much. After overhearing their conversation, she suddenly felt a pang of unease.

Even if a relationship is only between two people, if it is not blessed by both sets of parents, the marriage will be very difficult to maintain.

"Young Madam, are you alright?"

When Dong Jinyang noticed the slight change in Su Xiaoxiao's expression, he quickly asked in a low voice.

She merely smiled faintly, then quickly walked into her office.
