"If it's not your fault, who is?"
Fu Xiuyu felt a little guilty when she shouted those words, after all, she was the one who mistook Jiang Yao, who was messing around with Huo Zhiyan, for Jiang Can...
However, her consistent style is to raise her voice even louder when she is being unreasonable.
She cleared her throat, glanced at Huo Zhixing, and forced herself to get back on track: "Cancan is so wonderful, why didn't you bring her to meet Mom sooner? Are you deliberately trying to prevent us from recognizing each other as mother and daughter-in-law?"
Huo Zhixing: "..."
I don't know who said it, but your marriage is not only related to the Huo family, but also to the Fu family?
I don't know who said it, but if anyone dares to let this Miss Jiang into the house, it's either her or me.
"Mom," Huo Zhixing said, both amused and exasperated, "Can't you be reasonable? It wasn't you who..."
"When I told you I had a daughter-in-law I liked, you absolutely refused! You even threatened to withdraw your shares to blackmail me!"
Huo Zhixing was shocked.
Is this how you shift the blame?
He looked at Jiang Can in a panic, "I didn't..."
"Ahem!" Fu Xiuyu straightened up, walked to Jiang Can's side, and looked at her with a smile, "Can Can, it's okay. If this brat isn't happy, Auntie can take you to England!"
"Our Fu Group is full of talented young people, and we also have blond, blue-eyed European heartthrobs. When the time comes..."
"Mom!" Huo Zhixing growled, his face dark.
She's such a doting mother, she'll rip you off without hesitation!
Jiang Can smiled broadly and walked over to gently take Huo Zhixing's arm.
"Thank you for your kindness, Auntie, but this one is enough for me!"
Huo Zhixing paused for a moment, then lowered his head and affectionately rubbed her little nose, smiling as if he had gained the whole world.
...
The Bai family has never liked too many formalities, so the banquet was mainly a buffet, giving guests space to mingle freely.
Mr. and Mrs. Bai walked hand in hand among the guests, toasting them. Although they had been married for thirty years, they were still very affectionate, which made many people envious.
Huo Zhixing noticed Jiang Can's gaze and secretly squeezed her small hand. "Don't envy them, we can be like that too."
She tilted her head up and said, "Then when we celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary, should we also have such a grand anniversary ceremony?"
Marriage? Huo Zhixing's eyes lit up.
Jiang Can wanted to express the idea of holding a ceremony, but Huo Zhixing's focus was entirely on those two words.
He couldn't help but get excited, "You've agreed to marry me?"
"Silly boy!" Jiang Can tapped him on the head. "I never said I wouldn't marry you! I just want to learn more and accumulate more knowledge so that I can stand with you better in the future!"
Huo Zhixing said anxiously, "Actually, it's not necessary..."
"Why don't you need it?" Fu Xiuyu's voice suddenly came.
She had just finished socializing with everyone, and now as she stood before the two of them, she smiled at Jiang Can, increasingly admiring her independent, self-reliant, and ambitious character.
“I think Can Can makes a lot of sense!” Fu Xiuyu nodded. “No matter what, women must maintain their independence, both economically and personally! That way they won’t be looked down upon.”
"I will never look down on her!" Huo Zhixing quickly assured him.
"It's too early for you to say that." Fu Xiuyu's smile faded, and her expression became serious. "Everything in this world changes, including people's hearts. The only thing that will never betray you is your own skills and abilities."
"So I support Cancan in becoming stronger and having the ability to stand on her own."
"Hmm!" Jiang Can looked at Fu Xiuyu, her eyes shining as if she were gazing at her idol.
"Can Can, would you like to come work at Auntie's company?"
"What?" She was taken aback.
"Don't worry, I won't let you go to England," Fu Xiuyu said softly. "Actually, the reason I returned to Yangcheng this time is for the matter of that subsidiary of the Huo Group. I have already invested in Huaguang, renamed it Yufeng Media, and become its largest shareholder. I am also preparing to expand my business in Yangcheng, and now is the time when we need people."
"I wonder if you'd be willing to work with me?"
"This..." Jiang Can was both surprised and delighted, and suddenly couldn't speak.
"That won't do!" Huo Zhixing's face fell.
He knew his mother's style all too well; despite her kind and gentle demeanor towards Jiang Can now, she was a different story when it came to work...
"Mom, Can Can's job is pretty good now."
"What's so good about it? Last time she wanted to interview Yuan Tao, she was ridiculed and humiliated. I saw it with my own eyes!"
So how could she let the little princess suffer any more injustices from the outside world?
“In today’s workplace, many things are unpredictable,” Fu Xiuyu said. “I’ve been through this, and I have a lot of experience. I’ll pass on all of this experience to Cancan, so that she can also start her own career in the future!”
Jiang Can felt as if she had been hit by a pie falling from the sky, and nodded repeatedly.
Fu Xiuyu looked at her lovingly: "And I think Cancan is a capable, courageous, and intelligent girl. She will do a great job!"
“Auntie…” Jiang Can choked up a little, no one had ever praised her like that before.
My mother was often sick before, and I rarely said things like that to her.
She even thought she was stupid and didn't deserve good things.
It wasn't until she grew up that this feeling gradually corrected itself, but the deep-seated inferiority complex would still surface from time to time and sting her.
Fu Xiuyu stroked her soft hair. "Good girl, would you like to be my assistant and work with me?"
"Of course I'd like to!"
"Then I'll teach you properly. But Auntie has a bad temper and can be quite ruthless at work. Can you tolerate all that?"
"able!"
Fu Xiuyu looked at her with a smile.
"I knew it! You're your mother's daughter, you can't be anything less than amazing!"
Jiang Can didn't understand what that sentence meant.
In her memory, her mother was always an ordinary housewife who had been sick. So why did she seem to be such an extraordinary person in Fu Xiuyu's eyes?
Perhaps it's because they're best friends, like she and Lin Yuqing, that they see everything about each other as good...
"Alright, let's not talk about that." Fu Xiuyu composed herself. "Why don't you quit your current job, complete the handover procedures immediately, and try to report for duty next week? How about that?"
Jiang Can readily agreed, "No problem!"
The two chatted happily, completely ignoring Huo Zhixing standing to the side.
However, the next second Jiang Can seemed to realize something, looked at Huo Zhixing, and showed a rather troubled expression.
Huo Zhixing's heart skipped a beat. Had he finally remembered him?
"Auntie," Jiang Can paused, then said softly, "Could you... do me another favor?"
