[Break down? What's there to break down? It's you guys who spend all day gossiping about the boss's love life and sucking up to that divorced woman. What good does that do you?]
[We're happy to do it, is it any of our business? Assistant Chen, please continue, what happened next?]
Chen Bai glanced at the president's office and, seeing that the door was tightly closed, continued typing.
Later, the boss asked me to take Aunt Bai home, while he went alone with the driver to find the former boss's wife and young master.
See? What did we say? That guy jumping around like that has become a clown, hasn't he? He said he'd let go, but he still ended up being chased by someone else.
I'm hooked.

...
At this moment, in the president's office, separated from the assistant's office by only one wall, Zhou Sinian sat in a chair, feeling troubled and completely unaware that the company's people were having a debate about his love life.
He was pondering how to handle his relationship with Yun Qing.
Although Yunqing said she wouldn't remarry for the time being, what if she gets blinded by the allure of the outside world and impulsively gets married again? What will happen then?
Although he didn't care that much, it was definitely unacceptable to Xiao Nan.
In the end, he won't think his mother is unfaithful; instead, he'll think his father is useless.
There was nothing he could do. Ever since the child became old enough to understand, he started asking about his mother's whereabouts. In order not to hurt him, Zhou Sinian only said that a bad man outside had seduced Yun Qing.
That's pretty much the truth. If it weren't for that scumbag Yu He, they would be a happy family of three.
Fortunately, God had eyes; that bastard died of cancer, and he finally got his revenge.
The more Zhou Sinian thought about it, the more he realized that this made sense. Although Ms. Bai had misunderstood his feelings, she was not wrong in what she said.
Why should he force himself to prove a point and make Xiao Nan experience the pain of losing her mother again?
There's also Ms. Bai. She and Yun Qing's deceased mother were close friends. She had promised to take care of her. What kind of care could compare to living under the same roof?
With a "whoosh" sound.
Zhou Sinian stood up from his chair, dialed Bai Xiaohe's number, his hand trembling slightly with excitement.
“Mom, I’ve thought it through. You’re right. I can’t be so selfish. I can’t let Xiaonan be without a mother because of my own selfishness, and I can’t let you break your promise to Aunt Yun.”
On the other end of the phone, Bai Xiaohe was completely baffled: "Son, what are you talking about? I don't understand."
"Mom, didn't you say I should remarry Yunqing? Now that I'm listening to you, you're still not happy?"
"Oh, so that's what it is." Ms. Bai Xiaohe rolled her eyes silently. Wasn't she just saying so confidently that she would have backbone? How come she contradicted herself in less than an hour?
But it's obvious he's just making an excuse. Since that's the case, she, as his mother, will give him a way out. What else can she do but spoil her own son?
“Si Nian, it’s good that you think this way. Yun Qing is spoiled and has a sharp tongue. She must be regretting abandoning you now. You’re a man, why bother arguing with her? In the end, she gave birth to Xiao Nan for you. A complete family is better than anything else.”
"Mom, you're right. Xiao Nan needs her mother, and you're still thinking about your promise to Aunt Yun. So I've decided to sacrifice myself for the happiness of the whole family. I'll go find her and get back together starting tomorrow."
"Oh, you're such a good son. Don't worry, I remember all the grievances you've suffered. Once you win Yunqing back, I'll definitely stand by your side and make her make it up to you. If she bullies you again, I'll be the first to object."
“Mom, there’s no need for this. I don’t need her compensation. I don’t care about remarrying her, because you know I’ve completely moved on, so…”
"Beep beep—" A busy tone suddenly came from the phone.
Zhou Sinian called again, and a cold, mechanical female voice came through the receiver.
"The number you dialed is busy, please try again later."
In the Zhou family home, Ms. Bai Xiaohe sat on the sofa, her expression somewhat indescribable.
That troublesome son of mine! He gets all worked up just from being called fat. Now that he's completely let go, who was that person who spent the whole night looking at Yun Qing's photos the other day?
What a lousy thing, all it does is pretend to be dead all day long.
Zhou Sinian had no idea that his mother, who had just said she would stand up for him, was already cursing him out in her heart.
He was in a very relaxed mood. After making the decision to remarry Yun Qing, his world seemed to have cleared away the clouds and the sun shone in for a moment.
Those dark, crawling days are gradually fading away and can be completely left behind.
On the other hand, Yun Qing was not in such a good mood.
Just one day later, her friends in Baigang all knew that she had returned to China, and her phone was constantly receiving messages, all inviting her to visit.
Frustrated, Yun Qing rubbed her head and put her phone on silent. If she weren't still young, she might doubt her own memory, since she clearly wasn't very popular back then.
Twelve years ago.
Yun Qing and Zhou Sinian are the recognized campus beauties and heartthrobs of Baigang University. Because their looks are so well-matched, many people in the school secretly ship them as a couple.
In fact, they didn't spark a single flame between them throughout their entire university years.
They had known each other for over a decade before they were admitted to Baigang University.
After getting married, Yunmu and Ms. Bai Xiaohe did not settle in the same city, and only visited each other during holidays.
Zhou Sinian was a year older than her, and the two had only ever nodding acquaintances before.
But fate is cruel. When Yunqing was in her senior year of high school, her parents were in a car accident and could only entrust her to a friend.
Ms. Bai Xiaohe was very loyal and righteous. She not only helped her fight the lawsuit to seek compensation, but also took half a year off to take care of her at home until she was admitted to university.
Yun Qing originally did not plan to apply to Baigang University, but thinking of the elder who had been so kind to her, she developed a fondness for the city of Baigang and thus became Zhou Sinian's junior.
After her family suffered a tragedy, Yunqing's personality changed drastically, transforming from an optimistic and cheerful girl into a sophisticated egoist.
At first, she had no interest in Zhou Sinian at all, and even posted on the school's online forum, telling people not to ship them randomly.
Little did anyone know that Zhou Sinian would find out about this attempt to distance himself from the situation.
He hadn't originally had any particular interest in this pitiful little sister, but this incident sparked a bit of curiosity in him.
He was the school's most handsome boy, excelling in both character and academics. It was one thing for Yun Qing not to like him, but to speak of him with such disdain, belittling him to the point of being worthless, was something no one could swallow.
