Later, after a long time had passed, she knew that the person in Nancheng was no longer searching for her as frantically as before.
So she chose Jiangcheng from among many cities to live in, instead of going abroad. Among many factors, the most important was that she wanted an environment with a strong traditional culture, and Jiangcheng was the city furthest away from Nancheng.
After settling in Jiangcheng, she found a job at Huanan Law Firm.
When she first started working at the law firm, in order not to expose her past, she chose the most low-key approach. She didn't have a perfect resume, only a lawyer's license and a name.
When she went for an interview at the law firm, only Cheng Yu-huai gave her a chance. This is why, later on, among all the senior executives in the company, she had slightly more contact with Cheng Yu-huai.
Putting everything else aside, just the fact that Cheng Yuhuai gave her a chance during her most difficult time made her feel grateful to him.
But it was just gratitude, nothing more.
Where are you now? Have you finished get off work?
"Yes, Aunt Wan called to say there was a small problem. I'm on my way home now."
"Oh, is that so? Perfect timing. I'm working in Jiangcheng. I was saying I'd come to the law firm to find you if you hadn't finished get off work yet, but if you've finished, I'll just go straight to your place."
"Okay, see you at home."
"Um."
...
Ye Xinning returned to her residential compound, parked her car, got out with her bag, and was about to enter when she heard a car horn behind her. Ye Xinning turned around.
The car behind stopped, and Su Wan, wearing a blue dress, got out.
"Ningning."
The two stood facing each other, and there was a sense of ceremony in their meeting. They hugged first, and then Ye Xinning spoke.
"You must be tired. Go inside and rest."
"Mm." The two walked side by side into the building, Ye Xinning saying as they went.
Aren't you busy with things in Vancouver?
"It's alright, I was just thinking about you, and also about the person inside the house."
Mentioning the woman in the house, Ye Xinning rubbed her forehead, feeling quite troubled. "You don't need to worry about her. Just worry about whether she'll give me a heart attack."
Su Wan couldn't help but chuckle, "Is it really that exaggerated?"
"Probably... yes."
The two talked as they walked inside.
As soon as I opened the door and went inside, Aunt Wan, who was middle-aged, came over.
"Miss Ye, Miss Su, you're finally back."
Ye Xinning put down her bag and looked at Aunt Wan. "Where is she? She's still in the bedroom."
Aunt Wan nodded helplessly, "It's been like this ever since we came back."
Ye Xinning looked towards the bedroom and said to Aunt Wan, "I know, it's okay, Aunt Wan, you go cook, I'll take care of this."
"Okay, Miss Ye."
Ye Xinning walked towards the bedroom door and knocked on it.
There was no sound from inside, so Ye Xinning stopped knocking. "Open the door," she said in a low voice, trying her best to remain calm.
There was no movement inside. Ye Xinning spoke again, "Ye Zhimu, I'll count to three. If you don't open the door by then, you'll face the consequences."
"..."
Ye Xinning's voice turned cold, "One...two..."
three……
Before they could even leave, they heard footsteps coming from inside. The next second, the bedroom door opened, and a girl in a white dress with a cute bun appeared in their sight.
The girl had rosy cheeks, big eyes, and double eyelids, and bore a resemblance to Ye Xinning.
Of course, aside from the girl's current sullen expression, this should actually be a very heartwarming scene.
Ye Xinning crossed her arms and leaned against the doorway.
"Didn't you say you wouldn't open the door?"
"You're lying." The girl pouted and immediately began her accusation.
Ye Xinning remained calm and composed. "Tell me, how did I become a liar again?"
"You clearly promised yesterday that you would come to watch my kindergarten's tug-of-war competition today."
“At noon, I asked your teacher to tell you that I had encountered a difficult task and couldn’t go. Your tug-of-war competition is in the afternoon, and I notified you in advance. Theoretically speaking, this is not lying.”
"I don't care, you're lying! You promised me last night!" The girl pouted, and Ye Xinning looked at her lips, which looked like they could hold a pendant.
She tried to calm herself down; after all, she was only three years old, not even four, and she should be more patient.
“I’m sorry I couldn’t watch your tug-of-war match, but I really couldn’t leave because of work. You shouldn’t throw a tantrum like that, and you shouldn’t make Grandma Wan suffer your temper for no reason.”
"fraud."
No matter what Ye Xinning said, the girl kept repeating the same thing.
Ye Xinning's patience finally ran out.
She lowered her head, looking at the little figure in front of her. "Ye Zhimu, I've already told your teacher beforehand, and I've also expressed my apologies to you. My job is the source of our livelihood. If I don't work, we won't have to live here anymore. I'll take you, and you take the bowl, and we'll go under the overpass to do some new career planning. And now you're making a fuss over something like this?"
After saying that, Ye Xinning's face turned cold.
Ye Zhimu realized that her mother was really angry and panicked immediately.
She rushed up and hugged Ye Xinning's leg, "Mom, don't be angry. Mumu was wrong. Mumu shouldn't have thrown a tantrum at Grandma Wan and shouldn't have misunderstood Mom."
Ye Zhimu cried her heart out, and Ye Xinning felt sorry for her.
I started to reflect on whether my attitude just now was too bad.
At this moment, Su Wan walked over from the side and said, "Alright, it's not a big deal. No matter how small the grievance is, the big one is also aggrieved."
