004 looks...very prosperous.
Xie Yaoyao's wandering thoughts were pulled back, a flash of inspiration struck her, and she subconsciously retorted, "No."
Xie Ziyu: "..."
No, you two have each other's pictures on your dating profiles, there's definitely something going on between you.
Xie Yaoyao paused, then realized what she meant, "Wait, how did you know someone brought me back?"
"I saw her when I went downstairs to buy salt." Xie Ziyu was a little guilty. In fact, he had gone there specifically to warn her to stay away from her.
Xie Yaoyao is the best mommy in the world, and he will not let anyone take her away.
Xie Ziyu buried his head in his food. He needed to eat more and become stronger so he could protect his mother.
Xie Yaoyao propped her chin on her hand, turned her head to look at the house, which was less than forty square meters and leaked whenever it rained, and the sadness in her heart disappeared without a trace.
She still needs to work hard to make money and try to move away from here as soon as possible so that Xie Ziyu can grow up in a normal environment.
As for the fire five years ago...
"Zizai, I found a summer job. It includes room and board, and we can move into the big house tomorrow."
Xie Ziyu: "I don't want to live in a big house, I just want to stay by your side."
"Okay, from now on, wherever Mommy is, you'll be there too."
Xie Yaoyao rubbed his head, and the little guy rubbed against her palm.
Perhaps feeling that this wasn't cool, she immediately put on a stern face and said, "Don't touch my head anymore. You can't touch a man's head."
"Yes, yes, my little man, you eat well, I'll go pack my bags, we're leaving first thing tomorrow morning."
Xie Yaoyao got up to pack her luggage.
Actually, they didn't need to bring much. After Xie Yaoyao gained weight, she stopped caring about her appearance, and most of her clothes were black, white, or gray, especially black.
Because black makes you look slimmer.
Xie Ziyu's clothes were colorful, and even among her black clothes, they were quite a striking sight.
After packing her luggage and finishing her chores, Xie Yaoyao coaxed Xie Ziyu to sleep.
As the night grew quiet, the incessant dripping sound of water from a leaky roof could be heard.
Xie Yaoyao recalled the look Huo Yanxi gave her in the car, and found it hard to fall asleep.
It was a good thing he didn't recognize her; otherwise, she wouldn't have dared to risk bringing Xie Ziyu to his house.
Suddenly, she felt a weight in her arms. Xie Ziyu, who had been sleeping, had rolled into her arms at some point, his chubby little legs laboriously resting on her waist, muttering "Mommy" in his sleep.
Xie Yaoyao didn't sleep much all night.
When I woke up the next day, I had a splitting headache.
Principal Yang called to say that something came up and he couldn't come to take her to the Huo family's house. He took a picture and sent her Huo Yanxi's address.
After breakfast, Xie Yaoyao carried her suitcase and took Xie Ziyu out.
I ran into Wangzai downstairs. He heard that Xie Ziyu was leaving for two months. With red eyes, he said he would definitely wait for him to come back.
Seeing that it was still early, the mother and son took the subway to Huo Yanxi's house.
Located on Victoria Peak, where land is incredibly valuable, the Fok Family Villa is the ultimate symbol of wealth and status in Hong Kong, overlooking the entire Victoria Harbour and boasting the pinnacle of global wealth.
It was almost noon when they finally stood in front of the Huo family villa.
A black Maybach drove out of the villa.
The car window rolled down halfway, and the handsome features of the man in the back seat flashed before Xie Yaoyao's eyes before the car sped away.
Xie Yaoyao looked away and reached out to ring the doorbell.
Five years after they parted ways, they were already from two different worlds, and their brief encounter now proves nothing.
Two months later, they would part ways again. She had to restrain herself and not show any unusual reaction.
The housekeeper came out to answer the door and smiled when he saw Xie Yaoyao.
Just before Huo Yanxi left, he told him that the tutor he had hired for Huo Zidu would be coming today, and asked him to arrange a room for him.
Fearing he might neglect the teacher, the housekeeper asked whether the other person was male or female and what their physical characteristics were.
Huo Yanxi hesitated for a few seconds and said, "The female teacher looks... very plump."
It must be said that Fifth Master had already shown some restraint in his words.
"Are you Teacher Xie? Please come in." The housekeeper warmly stepped forward to help Xie Yaoyao with her luggage, and didn't ask any questions when he saw a little boy who looked about four or five years old standing next to her.
"What bad luck. Fifth Master was waiting for you at home, but he had to leave just now due to some urgent business." The butler led the way.
Xie Yaoyao, holding Xie Ziyu's hand, followed the butler's footsteps. "We saw President Huo's car when we came up just now."
"Fifth Master is going to the airport to pick up Young Master Zidu. Young Master Zidu will be your student. I'll help you settle in first and get familiar with the environment. Once Young Master Zidu arrives, we can officially begin tutoring."
Xie Yaoyao: "Okay, thank you, Mr. Butler."
"You're welcome. My surname is Jian. You can call me Uncle Jian. If you need anything later, you can come to me or Aunt Wang. By the way, who is this child in your arms?"
“My son Xie Ziyu, Yubao, greet people.”
Xie Ziyu looked at the kind-faced, middle-aged man in front of him and said obediently, "Hello, Grandpa Jian."
"Hello, Yu Bao." The butler teased him a couple of times, then asked Xie Yaoyao, "Second Master said you would bring an assistant, where is she?"
Xie Yaoyao pointed at Xie Ziyu with her chin and said, "Yu Bao is my assistant."
housekeeper:"……"
This works?
Xie Yaoyao was afraid that the housekeeper would think she was unprofessional, so she brought her own child to stay with her while she was doing home tutoring.
She quickly explained, "Yu Bao and I have no relatives or friends in Hong Kong. Mr. Huo asked me to teach him at home. Since there was no one to take care of the child, I had no choice but to bring him along."
The housekeeper felt this was only natural; no one would abandon their child for the sake of making money.
"Don't worry, Teacher Xie. Fifth Master will definitely understand. When you tutor Young Master Zidu, Wang Ma and I can help you look after the child. You don't need to worry about his safety at all."
Xie Yaoyao smiled with relief, "Uncle Jian, thank you. Yubao is very well-behaved and won't cause you any trouble."
Xie Ziyu said sweetly, "Grandpa Jian, Yu Bao can cook delicious food too. My mommy even praised my cooking skills."
The butler smiled gently and led the two across the water bridge to the main hall.
The spacious villa is understated yet luxurious; the antiques displayed on the cabinets appear simple and unassuming, but are actually quite valuable.
The famous paintings hanging on the wall are priceless and rare, highlighting the owner's distinguished status.
The butler led them to their guest rooms on the first floor.
The room was large, about 70 or 80 square meters, and included a living room, study, and bathroom, which was very convenient for Xie Yaoyao, a single woman with a child.
Moreover, it has plenty of natural light and fresh air, and no longer has that perennial damp and fishy smell.
Xie Yaoyao was very satisfied with her current living environment. After seeing the housekeeper out, she squatted on the ground to organize her luggage.
The clothes dried in the shade carried a damp smell, and the peeling paint on the suitcases clashed with the luxurious suite.
She crouched on the ground, looking at the huge shadow she cast on the ground by the sunlight.
A huge sense of disappointment arose inexplicably in my heart.
After their parting years ago, Huo Yanxi was already at the top of the pyramid of fame and fortune, while she, a nobody without even a government job, was completely out of reach.
They are from two different worlds now!
