The next morning, Rong Shang woke up to the lively chatter downstairs.

After washing up and changing her clothes, she went downstairs and happened to see a strange man carrying Mrs. Hua's luggage.

The mother and son walked behind.

Hearing her footsteps, the two of them turned around at the same time.

Meeting the woman's beautiful, almond-shaped eyes, Hua Xichen smiled faintly.

Madam Hua grinned and said, "I'm going back now."

Rong Shang nodded, "Be careful on the road."

She ultimately didn't go out to see her off.

She watched as Hua Xichen escorted her to the door.

"Mom, give me a call when you get home."

"I know." Madam Hua glanced back into the villa but didn't see the woman; she probably went back upstairs.

She wasn't angry; instead, she smiled helplessly, turned around, and muttered, "Looks like this old woman is really annoying."

"Mom." Hua Xichen didn't hear what she said. "What's wrong?"

She shook her head, bent down, and got into the car.

"It's nothing, you should go back and eat. You still have to go to the company."

With his attention diverted, Hua Xichen replied, "Okay."

At eight o'clock, the Hua family's car left.

When Hua Xichen returned to the villa, Rong Shang had already gone upstairs.

He was the only one left in the huge hall.

He looked at it, and finally sighed.

At 8:15, he ate breakfast.

She hadn't come downstairs when I was getting ready to leave.

The meeting time over there is almost here.

Unable to wait for her, Hua Xichen hurriedly left.

I left her a note before I left: I left you some fried dough sticks and soy milk, remember to eat them.

Unfortunately, the note he left on the table was blown to the ground by the wind after he left.

Rong Shang didn't see him when she went downstairs, and she went to work without having breakfast.

Today is Mrs. Huo's birthday.

She kept calling her around noon, asking her to come home in the evening.

Did Mrs. Huo really have the kindness to invite her to a birthday cake?

Rong Chang thought back for a moment, starting from when the original owner came of age.

Every year on Mrs. Huo's birthday, she would ask her to send perfume, handbags, or jewelry.

At that time, the original owner was still in college, so she didn't have that much money to buy her a birthday present.

So for that birthday, she had no choice but to order a cake for her.

Who knew that after I delivered it, she immediately turned hostile, threw the cake away, and said that I had no sincerity at all.

The original owner was scared after just that one time.

For her birthdays thereafter, she would start working part-time three or four months in advance, and once she saved up enough money, she would buy Mrs. Huo the gift she wanted.

If I think about it, I've bought cakes, bags, lipsticks, and perfumes.

This is the fifth year. Rong Shang smiled coldly, wanting to say: a gift? She's dreaming.

He refused her, citing that he was too busy.

After several such incidents, Mrs. Huo became angry with her.

"Huo Qiyan, you heartless bastard, how could you not come to my birthday party?"

“It’s not a matter of being embarrassed or not, I have to work overtime, I don’t have time, you know that?” Rong Shang retorted.

Mrs. Huo was so angry she could hardly breathe. "You, well done, well done."

"You've only been gone a few days, and you've already grown wings, haven't you?"

No, it's your imagination.

very good!

"Huo Qiyan, you're welcome to try. If you dare not come to see me tonight, I'll deal with you."

Dudu.

The other end hung up the phone.

Chen Xinlan had just come in from outside with the takeout and saw that she looked unwell.

She made a few "yo-yo" sounds and then walked to her side.

"What? Is that old hag from the Huo family asking you for gifts again?"

"almost."

Rong Shang responded and took the lunch bag from her hand.

Chen Xinlan snorted and couldn't help but curse, "That shameless woman, how can she be so shameless?"
