"Enter."
In the office, a woman with short hair was working at her desk. Time seemed to be particularly kind to her, and she looked energetic and refreshed.
Zhou Hongxia was filled with envy. She wished she could still be like Director Ruan when she was in her forties.
"What's up?"
"Ah?" Zhou Hongxia was awakened from her daze and hurriedly explained, "There's a woman outside looking for you. She said her mother is He Hongjuan and she knows you."
Ruan Liping's face looked a little ugly for a moment, but she quickly returned to her usual calm and kind demeanor. "Okay, thank you. Just say I'm not here."
Zhou Hongxia wondered if she had messed up something, and nodded repeatedly, "Okay, Director Ruan, I'll let her leave as soon as possible."
Seeing that the female comrade was dressed smartly and appropriately, and she had no guilt when she said she knew Director Ruan, she thought they were really acquaintances, but she was actually mistaken.
"Hey, wait, what does that girl look like?"
Ruan Liping thought that if Lin Xiaoyue came to see her, she would probably say that she was her daughter and would never say that her mother was He Hongjuan.
"Very thin, not tall." These two points left a deep impression on Zhou Hongxia. "Oh, by the way, her name is Ning Xi."
She thought that Ning Xi had specifically emphasized her mother's name, so she focused on He Hongjuan.
Ruan Liping: "Let her in. If anyone comes looking for me later, just tell them I'm in a meeting."
Ning Xi hadn't been sitting there for long when the female comrade came back and nodded at her: "Comrade, Director Ruan asked you to come in."
Ning Xi followed her instructions and came to the office. The door was ajar and only Ruan Liping was inside.
"Sister Ruan." Ning Xi knocked on the door softly.
Ruan Liping suddenly heard the little girl calling her sister and was stunned for a moment, "Come in."
Ning Xi noticed that she glanced outside the door, so she tactfully closed the door and locked it.
Ruan Liping saw all these actions and admired Ning Xi even more. She didn't expect that someone like He Hongjuan could raise such a smart daughter.
"What do you want to see me about?" Ruan Liping asked her to sit down opposite the desk, leaning back in the chair with her arms folded across her chest and observing her.
He was very thin, with sallow skin, and looked malnourished. It seemed that he had not had a good life in that family.
But his eyes were bright and his behavior was not at all rash.
"It's like this..." Ning Xi briefly explained the matter to Ruan Liping.
Basically, she suspected that she was not He Hongjuan's biological daughter and wanted to deal with the couple.
Ruan Liping picked up the teacup and drank some water to moisten her throat, then listened to Ning Xi talk without saying a word.
His words were concise and straightforward, without any empty probing. His frank confession of his purpose made Ruan Liping feel more favorable towards him.
When Ruan Liping knew that it was Ning Xi who came to see her, she had already vaguely guessed her purpose. If anyone dared to beat around the bush with her, she would not bother to listen for even a second.
"Since you're so honest, I'll tell you plainly that you're not He Hongjuan's biological child. As for where you came from, I don't know. The twins are He Hongjuan and Lin Yongjun's children."
Seeing that she took another sip of tea and held the cup a little high, Ning Xi stood up tactfully and diligently picked up the kettle on the table to add water for her.
"Sister Ruan, please go ahead. I'm listening!" Ning Xi poured the water and sat back obediently.
Ruan Liping looked at her a few more times and said, "You are also a wonderful person. Logically, you shouldn't be living like this, right?"
"I'll never turn back until I hit the wall. I used to think she was my real mother, and I always thought that if I obeyed her, she would like me more. I didn't expect that she would want to kill me."
Ning Xi laughed at herself for a moment, then continued, "Now that I'm sober, I feel even more that it wasn't worth it before. Later, I accidentally discovered that there was something wrong with Lin Zhendong's household registration, and that's when I started to get suspicious."
Ruan Liping was silent for a while, as if she was thinking about something. Ning Xi also sat there quietly without saying a word.
After a long while, she finally spoke: "I do have something on them that can make them unable to turn over, but I don't know you at all, so there's no need for me to help you."
With this handle in her hand, whenever she is unhappy, she can even make Lin Yongjun crawl on the ground and bark like a dog.
How could she let him go easily if he dared to tease her?
When they divorced, Ruan Liping asked Lin Zhendong's household registration to be transferred to their family, but Lin Yongjun didn't dare to say a word.
Unless he wants to go to jail.
Ning Xi didn't feel disappointed at all when she heard this. She looked at Ruan Liping with a smile on her face. "Director Ruan, if you have any requests, please tell me. If I can do it and it's not illegal, I will definitely do it."
If there was really no interest in it, I would have asked her to leave or just not met her. Why bother listening to her explanation here? I'm not a mediator from the Women's Federation.
"Do you have a job now? The job your father left for you was taken by Lin Yongjun, right?" Ruan Liping avoided the question.
Ning Xi knew there was a chance when she heard this, and replied honestly, "I haven't found a job yet, but I've already sold my dad's job."
Not completely stupid.
Ruan Liping nodded with satisfaction: "Little girl, you are quite smart. I really need your help with something. If you succeed, I can not only give you the evidence, but also find you a job here."
"Here?"
Find her a job in the Commerce Bureau?
Ning Xi felt a faint unease in her heart. This pie was really big. Would she die from eating it in one bite? She wouldn't dare to kill anyone or set fire to anything.
"My dad has a friend whose youngest son is looking for a partner. I think you're a good match. Do you want to give it a try?"
Ruan Liping looked at her as if she were a commodity, which made Ning Xi feel uneasy.
