"Tell me, what did I do wrong? I kindly helped her take care of her child, and I got scolded by the director. All I did was get anxious because the documents were missing and wanted to get an explanation from her."
"She said she would just help me with it, or even if she didn't want to help me, she could at least apologize. But listen to what she said! Does she mean it's all my fault?"
Su Yan leaned against the wall and listened to everything Xiao Liu said. When she turned her head, she saw Tang Ming sitting on the sofa not far away.
Tang Ming was still holding the candy Xiao Liu had given him, and he was eating it with relish, while the background music was Xiao Liu's intermittent sobbing.
But it seemed to have no effect on Tang Ming at all; he was as deaf as ever.
Su Yan watched him with interest for a while, then slowly walked forward.
Hearing footsteps approaching, Tang Ming hid the candy behind his back and watched Su Yan warily.
"What are you trying to do? I'm not apologizing, I didn't do anything wrong!"
His head held high and the way he emphasized it made Su Yan see He Man's true colors.
As expected of a mother and son, they are both shameless.
Su Yan smiled when she heard this.
Tang Ming looked at the strange aunt in front of him, puzzled, and his eyes became even more wary.
"What are you laughing at! Laughing at me? Laugh again and I'll hit you!"
He raised his fist, looking like he was really going to fight.
Su Yan squatted down to look him in the eye, gazing at him with affection.
"Auntie isn't here to hit you, nor is she here to lecture you. Auntie is here to praise you."
"Praise me?" Tang Ming's face was full of disbelief. "Praise me for what?"
Su Yan smiled gently, "Everyone, even your mother, misunderstood you, didn't they? You suffered such a great injustice, but you just ran away instead of throwing a tantrum or acting out. That's great, isn't it?"
Tang Ming's eyes lit up, and he patted his chest with a proud expression.
"Of course, I'm not a kindergarten kid anymore, crying and whining when something happens."
Su Yan changed the subject, "However, you still made a mistake in this matter."
She looked at him with concern, "Do you know how dangerous it is to spill water on the power source? All the aunties and your mother are just worried about you."
Tang Ming snorted coldly, showing no appreciation whatsoever, "My mom doesn't care about me at all! She's a liar, she doesn't keep her word, and she has no skills whatsoever. This family is entirely supported by my dad."
Although Su Yan disliked He Man, she still found these words somewhat grating.
She tried her best to keep smiling. "Your mother is angry right now. If you go back, you'll definitely get a beating. Why don't you come with me? I have a fun place to go. I don't know if you'd like to go?"
Tang Ming was completely unsuspecting, and his eyes immediately lit up.
Where?
"Come with me, it's so much fun!"
Su Yan took Tang Ming's hand and led him to He Zimo's office.
He Ziming was stunned when he saw Su Yan come to his door. He thought Su Yan had changed her mind and was about to be happy when he turned his head and saw Tang Ming.
A bad thought popped into my head.
"Yan Yan, he can't be you..."
Su Yan understood what he wanted to say and interrupted first: "No, he is the child of He Man, my colleague in the design department."
He Ziming breathed a sigh of relief, but his expression turned serious again.
"When did the company start allowing employees to bring their children? Even on weekends, it's not allowed."
Su Yan looked troubled. "She has her reasons. If you insist on holding her accountable, just pretend I was never here."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and was about to leave.
He Ziming was not about to let her go, and stepped forward to stop her.
"Yan Yan, don't go. I'll pretend I don't know anything about this, okay?"
Su Yan stopped walking when she heard this.
She looked hesitant. "I've come to ask you for a favor."
"What's up?"
Su Yan pointed awkwardly to Tang Ming beside her, "Could you let this child play here with you for a while? I'll come pick him up as soon as I finish all my work."
He Ziming was stunned. "Since you have a job, why are you helping your colleague take care of her child?"
The moment he spoke, he realized something and immediately stepped forward nervously.
"Yan Yan, were you bullied at work again?"
Su Yan lowered her head with a complicated expression.
"No, who could bully me? Will you help me or not?" she said in a muffled voice.
He Zimo had never seen her so vulnerable since they met again, and his heart melted instantly.
"Yan Yan, is it his mother...?"
Su Yan glared at him and immediately stopped him, saying, "The child is still here! Don't say things in front of the child. I said no, and that's final!"
The more excited she explained, the more He Ziming confirmed his suspicions.
But at the same time, he was also very happy, happy that Su Yan chose to find him the moment she encountered a problem.
This proves that he holds a very important place in Su Yan's heart, but she has always been stubborn and refused to admit it.
Thinking this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up.
"Just leave the child here, and go take care of your work first."
Su Yan gave him a grateful look, gave Tang Ming a few more words of advice, and then turned to leave.
Just as she was about to step out of the office, He Ziming called her back.
"Yan Yan!"
"Um?"
Su Yan turned around in confusion.
He Ziming looked at her with deep affection and said, "Yan Yan, I will always be your safe haven."
Su Yan almost couldn't hold it in and threw up her breakfast.
She suppressed the churning in her stomach, lowered her head shyly, hummed in a nasal tone, and turned away.
To He Ziming, this expression was practically an admission that she loved him!
He almost jumped up in excitement, but because Tang Ming was still in the room, he didn't dare to do so in order to maintain his composure.
He Ziming casually pointed to his computer. "There's a computer over there. Play whatever you want. If you want anything to eat, just tell the secretary outside and he'll bring it to you. I have to go out for a bit, so you can stay here by yourself."
Because of Su Yan, He Ziming was exceptionally tolerant of Tang Ming.
Tang Ming was amazed by the luxury of the office, and the secretary did whatever he said. Only then did he completely believe Su Yan's words.
This is truly the most fun place!
Tang Ming excitedly ate his snacks and began to immerse himself in his computer game world.
Su Yan returned to her office without saying a word, and on the way she ran into Xiao Liu, who was coming out of the restroom.
Xiao Liu was clearly crying a lot; his eyes were red and swollen like walnuts.
Su Yan casually took a small cosmetic from her bag and handed it to her.
"Wipe it off, let the swelling go down before you go back."
