After the incident with Little Cabbage, the management office stopped letting the poor, weak clerical staff go on fieldwork. After all, he was a vegetable spirit so weak that any animal or monster could bully him. Going on fieldwork was just too dangerous.

In the office, Yue Jiuling held a cup of milk tea in one hand and played with her phone in the other. She turned to Xiaobaicai, who was distracted, and said, "Little cutie, you should stay put from now on and not run around."

Hidden was the one who suggested that Little Cabbage go out, so he also bore responsibility for what happened. Hidden apologized to Little Cabbage: "Oh dear, I'm so sorry, you almost got eaten by a bad monster. I won't dare let you go out again next time."

Xiao Baicai shook her head sheepishly, saying it was nothing, but Yue Jiuling said from the side, "Well, actually the biggest responsibility should be Long Er's, right? Your teammates actually abandoned you to go buy food, that's really... tsk."

Yue Jiuling shook her head as she spoke.

Ya Zi happened to be eating a steamed bun nearby. He didn't argue with Yue Jiuling's words this time, because he knew he had made a mistake, putting his vulnerable colleague in danger. He felt very guilty. Xiao Baicai said:

"Baicai, it was my fault this time. I will definitely help you if you need anything in the future. I'm sorry."

"Oh dear, actually, it's not your fault. I'm just too weak. You don't need to blame yourselves."

Actually, Xiaobaicai didn't blame anyone. Being attacked by the rabbit spirit was just a matter of her own incompetence; she couldn't defeat any monster. It was just bad luck, and she couldn't blame anyone else.

Director Yu had also heard about this. He stroked his smooth chin and said, "Fortunately, nothing serious happened this time, otherwise it would have been troublesome. Once a monster starts causing trouble, the others probably won't stay quiet either. You handled this very well. Once the announcement is issued, it will probably serve as a warning to them and make the restless ones put away their little schemes."

Ye Dongfeng said, "Yes, I think so too."

Before she knew it, it was already evening. After having dinner at the Jiang family's house, Yue Jiu Nian waited for Jiang Hu to deal with her debts. She first texted Yue Jiu Ling to say that she had found the people and that she wouldn't starve to death. Then she gave Jiang Hu the creditors' phone numbers from her phone.

Li Jiajia's older sister, Li Yueyue, also came over. However, after hearing about Li Jiajia's encounter with a ghost and how Yue Jiu Nian saved her, she shared the same attitude as everyone else, thinking it was a fantasy and not believing it.

"Jiajia, let's go back. You must be too tired from studying lately to be like this. Don't scare yourself."

Li Yueyue wanted to take her younger sister away, but Huang Qing stopped her. Huang Qing knew that Li Yueyue was his eldest son's girlfriend and an actress in his film and television company, so he wanted to keep her there to get to know her better.

That's right, Huang Qing is not the kind of wealthy housewife who relies on her husband to support her at home. She also has her own company. Jiang Hu and she are in a business marriage, and both families have powerful backgrounds.

"Hey, wait a minute, your name is Yueyue, right? It's so late. Why don't you stay here with your sister? Jiang Yi has mentioned you to me several times, but he just hasn't had time to meet with you."

Huang Qing smiled amicably at the Li sisters, and Jiang Yi chimed in, "Yes, it's so late. We have plenty of guest rooms, so you can stay here."

Jiang Yi is twenty-five years old this year. He fell in love with Li Yueyue at first sight at his mother's company. They both had feelings for each other, so they got together. However, he had never brought her home. This time, Li Jiajia's matter gave them the opportunity to meet each other's parents.

Li Yueyue is a minor celebrity in Huang Qing's film and television company. She has never been very famous, but she is a nice person with no bad scandals and is also good-looking, so Huang Qing has a good impression of her.

Since Huang Qing had asked them to stay, the Li sisters naturally agreed. Yue Jiu Nian figured Jiang Hu wouldn't be able to clear his debts anytime soon, so she shamelessly agreed to stay the night.

"Niannian, just stay here and relax. I've talked to your aunt. It's not that she doesn't welcome you, she's just too embarrassed to admit it. Don't take it to heart."

Jiang Hu led Yue Jiu Nian to a room and told her to settle in comfortably.

In fact, Yue Jiu Nian didn't intend to come back here to seize any family property; she just wanted some money. However, her arrival still made the mother and her two children unhappy.

"Okay, I understand. Thank you, Dad."

Jiang Hu had always only had two sons by his side. Suddenly, a soft and cuddly daughter appeared, and he felt a different kind of emotion. He said affectionately, "No need to thank me. You've suffered these past years. Get some rest."

After Jiang Hu finished speaking, he gave a few more instructions to call the servants if needed, and then left. Yue Jiu Nian then prepared to wash up.

After chatting with the Li sisters for a few minutes, Huang Qing let them rest. She then asked Jiang Hu, who had just returned from Yue Jiu Nian's place, "How was it? How did it feel to be reunited with your daughter?"

Jiang Hu smiled and took off his suit jacket, saying, "Qingqing, you'll be her mother from now on. She doesn't have a mother anymore, and I'm all she has left as her father. She's very pitiful, so please be good to her."

Huang Qing took Jiang Hu's coat and hung it up. Hearing his words, she rolled her eyes and said, "Am I not good enough to her? It's already very good that I didn't let Xiao Hai kick her out. Isn't that good enough?"

Jiang Hu knew that Huang Qing was still holding a grudge about the mistake he made many years ago, so he didn't dare to say much. He just said, "Hey, I was the one who made the mistake back then. The child is innocent. Please be more magnanimous. By the way, Niannian is still the younger sister. Tell Xiao Hai not to bully her all the time."
