Seeing that Yu Anning was doing very well, her mother changed her tune and said that the reason she was able to achieve what she had was because she had asked her father for help.

Haha, that so-called connection was just a low-level bank employee who was barely making ends meet himself. He had no time to help her, and in her second year at the bank, this so-called connection quit.

She owes her success entirely to herself, without relying on anyone's help, Yu Anning can say this with complete honesty.

Moreover, it is precisely because of this job that Yu Anning can live with confidence and self-assurance, and her thoughts will not be swayed by anyone, including her parents.

Yu Anning was truly conflicted when she was suddenly asked to resign from her job. She had spent twenty years and the best years of her life working to get to where she was today.

It's no exaggeration to say that she spends more time at work than with her husband and daughter. For her, work is more than just work; it's become an integral part of her life, and she simply can't give it up.

“I…I really can’t let go. I started working at twenty-three and have worked for twenty-three years without ever taking a single day off. I didn’t even finish my maternity leave. I…” Yu Anning smiled helplessly. “I will pay attention to rest in the future and work less, but it’s really hard to let go all at once.”

Although Ye Qingqing understood, she did not support it. She said bluntly, "I admire your dedication, but I don't agree with it. Do you think it's honorable to go back to work before your maternity leave is over? I just think you are very sad. Your body is your own, and no amount of money can buy back your health. You have overdrawn your health in exchange for your current wealth and status, but you have the life to earn it but not the life to spend it. In the end, the money will only benefit outsiders."

Yu Anning's expression changed slightly. What Ye Qingqing said was exactly what she was most worried about. If she hadn't met Ye Qingqing, her biggest dilemma would have been who to entrust her money to. She didn't even trust her parents, let alone her younger brother Yu Shaoning, who was not a reliable person.

Ye Qingqing continued, "If you hadn't met me, you would have been prepared to die, wouldn't you say?"

Yu Anning nodded.

"Even if you win the lawsuit, you're no longer here. Such a large sum of money needs to be managed by someone, right? After all, your daughter is still a minor. You can only ask your parents, but do you really think your parents will selflessly safeguard this money?" Ye Qingqing retorted.

Yu Anning's heart skipped a beat, and she couldn't bring herself to say the word "yes".

Ye Qingqing bluntly pointed out, "Don't be fooled by how fiercely your parents scold your brother. They still love your brother the most. The squeaky wheel gets the grease. You're so sick. If your parents showed you any concern, they would have noticed something was wrong with your health. Once your money is in their hands, it's very likely that most or even all of it will go to their son. No matter how close a granddaughter is, she's not as close as a son."

Yu Anning bit her lip. She had never dared to think in this direction, but what Ye Qingqing said was exactly what she was worried about. When Yu Shaoning bought a house for their wedding, her parents couldn't afford the down payment, so they asked her for a loan of 300,000 yuan, which they still hadn't paid back. They hadn't even mentioned it in all these years.

Ye Qingqing then asked, "Who took care of your daughter most when she was little?"

It's definitely not Yu Anning. She's a workaholic; she doesn't even have time to drink hot water, let alone take care of her daughter.

“Yes…it’s her grandparents. They’ve always taken care of her. Li Wensong and I are both very busy with work,” Yu Anning explained.
