As soon as she sat down, she rattled off her day's achievements, embellishing the story of how Bai Yajing had bullied her.

"Dad, you have to help me!" she said, tugging at her father's sleeve as if she wouldn't give up until he agreed.

Dong Guangming smiled helplessly. He already knew about what happened at the Pei family's house today, which was why he came back early.

"Alright, alright, it's just a small matter. Dad will make a call in a bit. But do you really think a crazy woman could kill Bai Yajing?"

The woman surnamed Bai was not someone to be trifled with. She was very clever; during that brief exchange of blows, he realized she was also quite skilled. Afterward, he focused his investigation on the two of them, and everything that happened afterward revealed their true identities to him.

He didn't think his daughter's method would work, but he thought that children need to be allowed to try more in order to improve, right?

As for him, as the father, he just needs to stay by his side and guide him.

Dong Baozhu pursed her lips, knowing she probably couldn't kill her. But causing her trouble was good too! Besides, who knew? Judging from Wang Ting's crazed state today, she might actually succeed?

"Although it might not work, at least we can keep her occupied, which will make things easier for us, right? Dad, how's the arrangement for getting me a job at the Ministry of State Security?"

Dong Guangming smiled and handed her the documents on the table. "Here you go. But you can only do clerical work there. The Ministry of State Security is special. It took a lot of effort for your father to get you in."

Dong Baozhu didn't care about any of that; all she wanted was to see Xiao Che every day.

She happily opened the document and saw her name and her upcoming position in the Ministry of State Security. Although it was just a clerical job guarding the database, she was determined to win over Xiao Che if she had the chance to get close to him!

"Thank you, Dad! You're the best dad in the world!" she said, throwing herself into Dong Guangming's arms and acting all cute and affectionate, making Dong Guangming beam with joy.

"It's good that you know, but Xiao Che isn't so easy to deal with. You'll have to put in a lot of effort."

He had great confidence in his daughter. She was his precious daughter, whom he had raised for many years. She had caught the eye of many people when she was in the military region. He didn't believe that Xiao Che wouldn't fall for her charms!

Bai Yajing has been busy visiting the Pei family these past few days. Old Madam Pei's headache has improved a lot, and she genuinely likes her.

He always liked to chat with her and keep her company. After all, the Pei family was the top government of Kyoto City, and there were many ladies and young women who usually associated with the Pei family. This made it convenient for Bai Yajing to get in touch with them.

She has gotten to know many ladies and young women these days, and has learned a lot about the situation in Kyoto from them.

As time went by, some people asked her to treat their illnesses, and gradually she began to integrate into this circle of ladies.

While she was doing very well, a lively scene was unfolding in the family compound.

Wang Ting finally escaped that man and his exploitative family, and returned to the family compound with a heart full of joy.

But she found that her son was ignoring her, and the Li family wouldn't let her in.

She was both angry and annoyed, but she was determined not to let it go!

She stared at Aunt Li and Li Cuihu with bloodshot eyes, her eyes filled with resentment, but after experiencing so much, she had long since learned to restrain herself.

Her face was filled with unbearable sorrow. "Mom, little sister, I really know I was wrong! It's all my fault. I thought my family was my only support, but when I fell on hard times, I realized they didn't care about me at all!"

I really know I was wrong, and I promise I'll never be so willful again. Please, please, give me another chance, okay? I want to stay and take care of Brother Li and the child, sob sob sob…
