She can't do this work during the day; Huaijin will think she's crazy if she can't see the wires...

Okay, okay, take your time, it doesn't matter, she'll gain more mental strength anyway.

The meeting went on until midnight. Ye Jiu yawned and left his room. "That's enough for today," he said. He looked down for a long time, feeling tired, sore, and sleepy.

——

The Huai family couple visited the villa less and less frequently, as if they could wash their hands of the matter once they handed the person over to Ye Jiu.

She had every reason to suspect that they had other families outside, and even other children, but the news didn't report it.

Looking back now, it seems that Yue Wenxin's crying back then was somewhat staged.

The villa became her and Huaijin's playground. She bought kitchenware and cooked to win over Huaijin's stomach, determined to make up for Huaijin's pitiful childhood.

Huaiyou was also very satisfied with Ye Jiu. Huaijin's improved condition meant that he could live a few more years, which was of great importance to him.

He offered to adopt her as agreed, but Ye Jiu knew he wasn't a good person and shook her head in refusal, saying only, "One million a month is enough. If you want to compensate me, I can give you two million a month. I don't want to be an heir."

Huaiyou felt that she was naive and easy to manipulate. She gave up hundreds of billions and only asked for two million a month. With a wave of his hand, he raised her monthly salary to three million.

Huaiyou was proud of his eye for talent, and Ye Jiu was pleased with his generosity. Both felt they had gotten a good deal! A win-win situation!

That year, Ye Jiu gained a little tagalong. Huai Jin's past twelve years had not been easy, but he knew things would get better from now on.
