When Zhao Bo saw Yi An again, it was in a bar. In just one afternoon, Yi An looked much older.
"Yi'an, I really don't know what to say anymore. If I hadn't given that terrible idea, things wouldn't have turned out like this."
Zhao Bo's face was full of regret.
Yi An looked resigned. "It has nothing to do with you. I did everything. It's no wonder she hates me."
Zhao Bo: "Is there really no other way?"
Yi An tilted her head back and downed the wine in her glass in one gulp. "No matter what method I use, I will not give up."
Zhao Bo immediately cheered him on: "Good job, brother! Just tell me if you need anything, and I'll do my best to help you!"
Yi An waved her hand, "No need. This time I want to rely on myself, without using any tricks, just with my sincerity, to win her back."
Yi's Group.
Meng Jie leaned back in her office chair, glanced at the resignation letter on the desk, and then looked at Su Yan's face.
She didn't mention resigning at all, but just said with a smile, "You ruined my carefully prepared wedding, embarrassed me in public, and before I even came to you, you came to me first."
"So, I've come to resign and apologize to you, Mr. Meng. Given my current position, I'm no longer fit to hold this post, both morally and logically."
Although Su Yan spoke in a relaxed manner, her face was still full of fatigue.
Meng Jie took a breath and crossed her hands on the table.
“Su Yan, although I don’t know what exactly happened between you and Yi An, I know my son very well. The changes in him since he met you are unprecedented. Not to mention his decision not to get married. You, Su Yan, have done something that no other girl in the world could do.”
Su Yan lowered her head and chuckled softly, "President Meng, you really overestimate me. I'm just a pawn in your son's hands. As for the little bit of sincerity I showed, it's probably just the uncontrollable pity that comes from being a pawn for so long."
Hearing her belittle herself so much and question Yi An's sincerity, Meng Jie lowered her head and shook her head.
“You might think I’m favoring my own child when I say these things, but I know best that what I’m saying is the truth. If you ask any outsider around you, they will give the same answer.”
Su Yan didn't want to continue the discussion and took the initiative to interrupt.
"Mr. Meng, let's talk business here at the company."
“Okay!” Meng Jie readily agreed and immediately pushed the resignation letter back to her.
“Besides being a mother, I am also a competent businesswoman. I don’t care about your status or your relationship with Yi’an. Whether you are her daughter-in-law or her subordinate, you are capable of taking on this position.”
Just as Su Yan was about to refuse, Meng Jie interrupted again: "You don't want me to lose a daughter-in-law and a good employee at the same time, do you?"
She shrugged and joked to herself, "Then I'm so pathetic."
Su Yan was stunned, suddenly unsure whether to refuse or accept.
Seeing her hesitation, Meng Jie took the initiative to speak: "Su Yan, you are a person who clearly distinguishes between public and private matters. I also hope that you will not involve me or the entire company because of Yi An's matter."
"From now on, within the company, you'll be my good subordinate. Outside the company, if you have any entanglements with Yi'an, I won't interfere, okay?"
Su Yan took a breath and, after careful consideration, put the resignation letter back.
"Since you put it that way, I'll get back to my work and then step down once you've found a more suitable candidate."
Meng Jie didn't object to this, and continued to look at her with a smile.
"Now that we've finished discussing business, let's talk about something personal. Your mother contacted me because of what happened at the wedding, did you know?"
Su Yan looked up in surprise. "What does she want with you?"
When Meng Jie recalled Ye Mei's appearance at the time, she said softly, "She was just protective of her daughter."
Su Yan was deeply shocked by these four words. The maternal love she hadn't experienced for more than ten years, was it coming too fast all at once?
Seeing her deep in thought, Meng Jie spoke again: "I'm not saying this to complain to you, I just wanted to tell you. I'm a mother too, and I can completely understand how she felt when she said those things. So, go back and visit her more often."
After leaving the Yi Group, Su Yan's mind was filled with Meng Jie's words, and she couldn't even drive steadily.
She called a designated driver to pick up Su Xiaoyu and Yi Kangle, and the three of them went back to the place Duan Sisi had helped her find.
As soon as she reached the door, Su Yan saw an uninvited guest.
What are you doing here?
Hearing this voice, Yi'an, who was getting impatient, turned around in surprise.
"You're back! I was thinking of waiting for you at the kindergarten gate, but I was afraid it would be too crowded and cause a scene, so I'll wait for you here instead."
He spoke pitifully, but Su Yan's expression remained completely unchanged.
"Who told you that?"
Yi An glanced instinctively in the direction behind Su Yan and began to speak haltingly.
"Um... I asked around."
Su Yan saw through his clumsy lie at a glance. Following her glance behind her, Yi Kangle immediately hid behind Su Xiaoyu guiltily.
Su Yan didn't say anything more, took out her keys and opened the door.
As Yi An watched Su Yan lead the child inside and was about to close the door, she disregarded everything else and used her arm to forcefully block the door.
"Su Yan! Give me a chance to speak!"
Su Yan acted as if she hadn't heard, and pulled the door open forcefully.
Seeing that there was no other way, Yi'an suddenly had a flash of inspiration and let out a scream.
"Ouch! My arm!"
Startled by the sound, Su Yan instinctively let go of her hand.
"Where did you put it?"
Yi An watched as she nervously examined her arm, and the corners of her mouth involuntarily turned up.
Seeing that he had stopped making a sound, Su Yan looked up in confusion.
As soon as Yi An saw her look up, her face contorted in pain again. Pointing to her joint, she cried out, "No, it feels like it's broken! I have to find somewhere to sit down, or I can't take it anymore, it hurts so much!"
He performed with great effort, but Su Yan's face gradually darkened.
Su Yan kicked him hard in the back of the knee without any mercy, "How am I going to crush you to death!"
Yi'an lost her balance and stumbled, falling to the ground beside her. When she looked up again, the door was already closed.
Seeing that this tactic wasn't working, Yi'an pulled out plan B. He got up decisively, not even bothering to brush the dust off his pants, and rushed to the door.
As he knocked on the door, he shouted defiantly, "Su Yan! You can refuse to see me, but you can't stop me from seeing the child! Actually, I'm here to see the child! Don't get any ideas!"
