Chapter 44: Moving Out
On the way back, Xu Xiaoyue asked Yan Ye to take her to Lian Street as usual.
After getting out of the car, she thought she was hiding very well. After the man's car drove away, she walked out of the alley stealthily and then walked slowly towards home.
Yan Ye drove the car into another alley and watched the man slip away right under his nose.
He curled his lips and waited until Xu Xiaoyue's back was out of sight before driving away again.
He had enough patience to let the kitten accept him.
Xu Xiaoyue was in a good mood along the way and arrived at the compound in just a few steps.
Several women gathered together and whispered, and when they saw Xu Xiaoyue, they pointed and talked. But when she walked forward, the group fell silent again.
Xu Xiaoyue's face darkened.
She walked quickly to the door, pushed it open and saw Zheng Jiaojiao was there too.
At this moment, Zheng Jiaojiao threw herself on Liu Ye, sobbing and crying, sounding very aggrieved.
Liu Ye looked up and saw Xu Xiaoyue coming. She asked quickly, "Jiaojiao said that because she took your proposal as a reference, you directly told Manager Yan that she stole your proposal and plagiarized it?"
Liu Ye said this anxiously, and patted Zheng Jiaojiao on the back with her hand.
Zheng Jiaojiao came back from the compound crying before noon, with so many eyes staring at her.
Liu Ye walked into the compound during lunch break, and several neighbors came up to her and asked her what was going on and whether Zheng Jiaojiao was bullied.
Liu Ye was frightened upon hearing this, and quickly called Zheng Jiaojiao out.
I found out after asking in front of several aunts.
Because of that plan, Zheng Jiaojiao referred to Xu Xiaoyue's idea and obtained her consent.
But then Xu Xiaoyue went to Manager Yan and complained that her plan had been plagiarized.
Liu Ye didn't believe that Xiaoyue could do such a thing.
Although she had not been in the Yan family for a long time, she could still see that Xu Xiaoyue was not the type to do such shady things behind the scenes just to get a job.
But Zheng Jiaojiao cried too hard, tears seemed to never stop flowing from her eyes, and she looked really aggrieved.
She thought that perhaps there was some misunderstanding between the two children.
Xu Xiaoyue smiled expressionlessly and looked coldly at Zheng Jiaojiao who was nestled in Liu Ye's arms.
She put the bag in her hand aside and sat on the sofa next to her.
"Yes, I went to Manager Yan to report Zheng Jiaojiao for plagiarizing my proposal."
"Xiaoyue, you..." Liu Ye looked at Xu Xiaoyue's face again and again with disbelief.
Before she could finish her words, Xu Xiaoyue stated calmly.
"But I don't know when you told me that you wanted to learn from my plan."
"The proposal submitted by Zheng Jiaojiao is exactly the same as mine, not to mention that she even submitted it before me."
"If I submit my proposal without knowing it, what will Manager Yan think of me?"
Zheng Jiaojiao's eyes were swollen like walnut kernels. She raised her head from Liu Ye's body and looked at Xu Xiaoyue with hatred hidden in her eyes.
"You obviously don't have to hand it in, and Manager Yan will consider keeping you."
"But I'm different. If I lose my advantage, I'll be the first to go."
Liu Ye frowned. Zheng Jiaojiao's words sounded harsh to her ears.
"Are you blackmailing me morally?" Xu Xiaoyue pointed out her thoughts, and the stabbed woman's face turned pale.
"Put away your little tricks. I only accept fair competition."
Now, Xu Xiaoyue could probably guess what the group of people outside were talking about behind her back.
Liu Ye understood everything and she loosened her grip on Zheng Jiaojiao. If we really talk about right and wrong in this matter, it was indeed Zheng Jiaojiao who was wrong.
It’s okay to look at Xu Xiaoyue’s plan without anyone’s permission.
He actually copied it exactly and gave it to Manager Yan.
She said she didn't understand, but she hurriedly handed the plan over.
Zheng Jiaojiao was sensitive to Liu Ye's emotions. She hugged her tightly and said with tears in her eyes, "Aunt, I know I was wrong."
"I was just possessed by a ghost for a moment and took Sister Xiaoyue's plan."
"But I didn't expect Sister Xiaoyue to report me directly to Manager Yan, and let everyone know about it."
She started crying again, "Now, I don't have the face to go to work."
Xu Xiaoyue snorted coldly and retorted: "Yes, yes, you don't have the face to go to work, but you have the face to steal my plan."
Liu Ye was stuck in the middle and her head was hurt from Zheng Jiaojiao's crying.
"Alright, alright, calm down first."
She wanted to say a few words to ease the situation, but she looked up at the clock on the wall and stood up immediately.
"The hospital has been a bit busy these past two days. I can't get away, so I'm going to work first."
Liu Ye's gaze shifted from Xu Xiaoyue's face to Zheng Jiaojiao in her arms. She was afraid that if she left, the two children would have another quarrel.
He sighed and called Aunt Wang from the kitchen to come out and watch.
As soon as Liu Ye left, Xu Xiaoyue was no longer in the mood to argue with Zheng Jiaojiao about these trivial matters.
She stood up, brushed off the non-existent dust on her skirt, and walked upstairs lazily.
Zheng Jiaojiao was looking at her back. Today, Xu Xiaoyue left an hour earlier than her.
But it was already four o'clock in the afternoon when she came back.
What on earth did you do during such a long period of time?
Moreover, she noticed that Xu Xiaoyue's face was red and her hairstyle had changed when she came in.
Mother Wang turned her head and inadvertently saw Zheng Jiaojiao staring at someone. She frowned and felt scared.
That was not the look one should have when looking at family members; instead, it was like looking at an enemy.
Thinking of what she saw when she went upstairs to deliver the milk, Aunt Wang closed her mouth and said nothing in the end, but her eyes became deeper and deeper.
In the evening, Liu Ye told Yan Jianguo what happened during the day.
"I don't know what's wrong with Jiaojiao. She looked fine before Xiaoyue came. Why has she always been..."
Before she finished speaking, the man next to her already understood.
Yan Jianguo looked at the newspaper in his hand and glanced at his worried wife. "Little girls are all like this. They will be fine after a while."
Liu Ye glanced at the man unhappily and said, "Forget it. You won't understand even if I tell you."
"Before in the hospital, Xiaoyue told me that she wanted to move out, and I persuaded her to stay at Yan's house."
"Now that something like this has happened, I don't know whether I was right to persuade her to stay in the Yan family."
"Move out?" Yan Jianguo put down the newspaper in his hand.
The person eavesdropping outside the door pricked up his ears and moved along.
