Song Yuqiao tidied up the things she had brought with her at Song's house and went to bid farewell to the old lady.

  Old Lady Song said: "This time you left, when are you planning to come back and see this old lady again? I'm afraid I won't have three years to wait."

  Song Yuqiao said: "What did grandma say? Not old at all. Grandma. Otherwise, you go with me to C city?"

  Grandma Song patted her granddaughter's hand: "Grandma is old and can't take the trouble anymore. Old people are used to their hometown, having lived here for 70 years. You come back often to see Grandma, and Grandma will be happy."

  Before Song Yuqiao left, Old Lady Song pulled her hand and said: "Granddaughter, grandma can tell that there's a problem between you and Ze Nan. When there's a problem, it needs to be solved, understand? The two of you should sit down and have a good talk, don't wait until the problem gets serious. Then it'll be too late."

  Yes, it's already too late now. The problem has already occurred.

  However, Song Yuqiao didn't tell Grandma Song these things. She didn't want her grandmother to worry about her, so she just smiled and said: "I know, don't worry about me, I'm already 24 years old, can't I take care of myself?"

  "Right, I almost forgot to tell you." Old Lady Song took out a white jade bangle from a sandalwood carved box and said, "This bangle was worn by your grandmother when she got married. It was originally given to your mother, but she returned it to me when she divorced. Now I'm giving it to you. Since this is your zodiac year, may everything go smoothly and peacefully for you, and may this bring you good luck."

  As she spoke, Old Lady Song put a milky white jade bangle on Song Yuqiao's left wrist, which made her wrist look even more slender and delicate, with a radiant complexion, very beautiful.

  Song Yuqiao bid farewell to Old Lady Song, and initially wanted to say a word to Song Hui, but after some thought, this father had not come to ask about her for several days, so why should she go looking for trouble now? She walked two steps towards the main building of the Song family's mansion, then turned around and walked out.

  Suddenly, a soft and gentle voice came from behind: "Sister!"

  Song Yuqiao didn't have time to turn around, and a little kid rushed over from behind and hugged her. Lowering her head, she saw Song Qihuan's face.

  Song Qihuan is the child of Song Yi and Xu Yuanyi, now four and a half years old, but very thin and weak, compared to Pei Haoyu who is almost the same age, it's simply a small bean sprout.

  "Sister, you're leaving?"

  Song Qi Han pulled Song Yu Qiao's finger and asked.

  Song Yuqiao didn't want to shift her disgust towards Xu Yuyi's mother onto a completely innocent child, so she squatted down and said, "Hmm, sister has left."

  "Can I go with my sister?"

  Song Yuqiao was taken aback and asked: "How did you recognize your sister?"

  "Our whole family is supposed to be here, with big sister, you're second sister, and there's also a little brother, but I'm the only one in the house." Song Qihuan said with some grievance, her voice getting lower and lower.

  Is it really true that children's words are innocent?

  When the Song family was prosperous, there were originally so many people, but now it's basically a taboo, and no one dares to mention it.

  Song Yuqiao was just about to say something when he was interrupted by a voice.

  "Hanhan, who are you talking to here?"

  Song Yuqiao raised his head and saw Song Jierou standing one meter away from him.

  Song Jieyou directly stretched out her hand and pulled Song Qihuan over: "Don't talk to strangers, or you'll be kidnapped."

  "This is my second sister, not a stranger."

  Song Jierou said: "Your second sister? Have you seen her living at home? She hasn't come back for three years, what kind of sister is that? Not even as good as a part-time cleaner who often comes to the Song's house."

  She said, turning around to scold the nanny standing not far away looking at Song Qihuan: "Is there a way for you to look after children like this? If you don't want to do it anymore, just say so early. Anyway, there are many nannies who want to take care of children for our Song family."

  The nanny hurried over as soon as she heard, took the child from Song Jiejing's hands, and then turned around and left.

  Faintly, Song Yuqiao could hear Song Qihuan's murmurs, seemingly calling out "Sister, don't go yet" and the nanny was coaxing him.

  Song Yuqiao didn't say a word to Song Jierou, just like she did with Song Hui, and turned around to leave. However, Song Jierou followed her out.

  Song Jierou said: "Are you still not planning to divorce Ye Zenan this time?"

  Song Yuqiao sneered: "Do you think I can get Xu Wanli just because I'm divorced?"

  Song Jierou said with a serious tone: "Your marriage life is not happy at all, it's not that Auntie is biased towards Lili, look, you've already wasted three years, from 21 to now 24, how much more youth can you afford to waste?"

  Song Yuqiao did not speak this time.

  Although she didn't agree with Song Jiejiao as a person, this sentence was right.

  She really doesn't have many three years to waste.

  Song Jierou continued: "I know you're not already divorced from Ye Zenan, just short of signing the papers. If you want him to sign, it's actually very easy. You also know the old-fashioned people in the Ye family. Your mother-in-law has been telling outsiders that you're pregnant, but now you can't have children. If this gets out, the Ye family will definitely make a fuss. At that time, even if Ye Zenan doesn't want to divorce, he'll have to divorce. It's not necessarily going to court, and it'll be embarrassing for everyone."

  Song Yuqiao stopped in her tracks and narrowed her eyes: "How did you know I couldn't have children?"

  She and her mother-in-law Pei Yuling went to the hospital for a check-up, and when they returned with the test results, would Pei Yuling have shown them to Song Jierou as well? It's simply impossible. Pei Yuling and the Song family had not been in contact for a long time either. Although Pei Yuling was quite influential, she still maintained Song Yuqiao's dignity in front of outsiders.

  Song Jierou suddenly realized that she had misspoken and said, "Didn't your mother-in-law used to get medicine for you from the hospital in the past? Wasn't it for treating infertility?"

  "It's not that, it's for me to regulate my body and prepare for pregnancy."

  She didn't want anyone to know that she couldn't get pregnant, but Song Jierou's words had already left a mark in her heart, and she thought of going back to C City to check again.

  Since Song Yuqiao is going back to C city, then Song Jierou definitely can't leave Xu Wanli alone in the Ye family, and she must also pack her bags and go back.

  However, he was stopped by Song Yi just as he was about to leave.

  "Big brother, what are you going to do now?"

  "Where are you going?"

  Song Jierou said: "Back to C city? My daughter is in C city, why wouldn't I go back?"

  "Then let's leave it till tomorrow, there is a family gathering at the Han's house tonight, if you, the second madam of the Han's house, don't show up, others will think you've stepped down and yielded to your rival!"

  Song Jieyou said: "I've been wanting to step down and let someone else take over, but who would have thought that being the second wife of the Han family is so difficult? Han Jinyu isn't just some underground lover from outside, she's even got a child on the way! I'm just waiting for his divorce papers, can't wait for that little vixen to become official."

  "Song Jierou!" Song Yi scolded, "You're almost forty years old, can't you understand things?! You don't come back for a year or two, do you want Han Jiayu to keep your chastity for you?! The thing about you giving birth to Xu Wanli for someone else back then, don't think the Han family doesn't know! They're all very astute, your marriage to the second son of the Han family is just a balance, a connection! Do you understand? If it falls apart, the sky in S city will definitely be chaotic!"

  Song Jierou was also gradually calmed down by Song Yi's shout, and after a while, she said: "I know, I'll attend the dinner party tonight."

  Song Yi turned around.

  Song Jieyou called out: "Big brother, you don't know who Han Jinyu's mistress outside is?"

  Song Yi's footsteps paused for a moment.

  Song Jierou said: "It's also true that this matter is not good to hear when it's spoken out. As a sister-in-law, I was robbed of my husband by my own niece. It's really embarrassing to say it out loud, and it can be considered a scandal. However, I don't mind, she can be with whoever in the Han family she wants, I won't say anything. But big brother, I have one condition."

  It's all just rumors, Song Yi's eldest daughter, also Song Yuqiao's older sister Song Shuying, has been following Han Jinyu for two years, and was sent to C City by Han Jinyu two days ago to rest and prepare for childbirth, away from the whirlpool of the Han family.

  These things, Song Yi knew that his two daughters were not easy to get along with, and at the time of their divorce, Xi Mei Yu had left them both with him.

  Song Yi rubbed her brow: "You say."

  Song Jierou smiled: "You also know, big brother, I don't have many requirements. I just want my daughter to get what she wants. Since I've wronged her, now I need to make it up to her. Big brother, do you understand?"

  ………………

  Song Yuqiao and Li Bei finished handing over some materials, with less than an hour left before boarding.

  She stood up and stretched her waist involuntarily.

  "Li Bei, take Miss Song to the airport."

  Song Yuqiao turned around to see Pei Cheng leaning against the wall, and he didn't know how long he had been standing there. This person seemed to be born with a mysterious and elusive nature, appearing and disappearing suddenly.

  "Don't bother, I'll call myself..."

  Song Yuqiao didn't even finish her sentence when Pei Si Cheng had already turned around and walked out, as if he was really too lazy to talk to her.

  Li Bei said: "This location is not necessarily good for hailing a taxi, Miss Song. Why don't I drive you instead?"

  It would be hypocritical for Song Yuqiao to refuse again at this point.

  When I was taking the elevator, I met Xu Shaojie.

  Xu Shaojie saw the bag in Song Yuqiao's hand and asked: "Is Secretary Song leaving?"

  Song Yu nodded: "Uh-huh."

  Xu Shaojie turned a corner upstairs and entered his own office area. Song Yuqiao suddenly pressed the elevator back to the 13th floor. Xu Shaojie was absolutely not a simple person, she wanted to remind Pei Si Cheng.

  "Miss Song, what's going on here..."

  Song Yuqiao said: "You wait for a moment, I'll go find General Pei!"

  However, Song Yuqiao ran a few steps forward and saw Pei Shichen making a phone call through the open glass door, and suddenly stopped in his tracks.

  It was clear that she wanted to draw a line, so from now on, everything related to Pei Su would have nothing to do with her.

  What kind of person is Pei Si Cheng anyway? If he can discover it himself, how could he not have discovered it? It's really unnecessary.

  Li Bei saw Song Yuqiao turn around and walk back, his heart was really entangled. He had already automatically filled in the story of how his boss and this Miss Song were meant to be together, having been in love for three years, but unfortunately were forced apart by their families' opposition.

  Two people who obviously deeply love each other can't be together, isn't that the saddest thing? Or else let him play matchmaker for once?

  It's just his imagination running wild.

  The story of being one's own boss, how can it be so tacky.

  On the car, Song Yuqiao suddenly asked Li Bei: "How long have you been following General Pei?"

  Li Bei said: "Yu Na has been following Director Bae since she was in Canada, and I have been following Director Bae's father since last year when Director Bae returned to China."

  "Oh."

  "Song, what do you think of General Pei?" asked Li Bei.

  Song Yuqiao leaned on her chin and thought for a moment: "It's hard to say, he looks elegant and refined, but I always feel that there's something... inside him."

  Lí Běi perked up his ears to listen.

  Song Yu thought for a moment and finally said: "A bit... bad."

  After hearing this summary, Li Bei almost stepped on the brake as if it were the accelerator.

  Song Yuqiao smiled: "I was just kidding, Lieutenant Ke mustn't tell General Pei."

  "Haha, absolutely not."

  It's a perfect opportunity to flatter, how can it be missed?

  ………………

  In the evening, Song Jiejue chose a high-waisted skirt that looked very figure-hugging. She originally wanted to ask the driver of the Song family to take her to the Han family, but when she came out of the door, she found a car waiting by the roadside with a military license plate.

  It seems to be Han's family car coming to pick her up.

  Song Jierou told the gatekeeper: "Let the driver go back later and say I have a car to pass."

  After she finished speaking, she walked towards the car.

  In the car, as expected, sat a man with a stern face, wearing a black overcoat, his entire face hidden in darkness.

  Song Jierou didn't say anything and directly sat down, looking out of the window.

  The driver in front didn't move until the man said, "Go to the Han's."

  The car slowly started moving.

  All the way, there was nothing to say.

  Song Jierou was originally a fearless and daring person, but in front of the gloomy and introverted Second Young Master Han, Jianyu, she would inexplicably feel her heart tremble with fear.

  The car stopped in front of a dense forest outside Han's house, with dim lights and swaying tree shadows.

  Han Jinyu got out of the car and slowed down his footsteps slightly in the thick night shadow, waiting for Song Jierou to walk over and say: "Do you know what to say and what not to say?"

  Song Jie sneered coldly: "Do you think I won't say anything and really protect Song Shuying?"

  Han Jinyu's cold gaze turned to Song Jierou, his voice calm and authoritative: "If you have the guts, go ahead and say it, as long as you consider the consequences."

  Song Jierou was afraid in her heart, but she still forced herself to retort: "What consequences? Can you kill me?"

  Han Jinyu suddenly smiled, a person who hadn't smiled for a long time, but the smile was even more piercing than when he wasn't smiling, making the hairs on Song Jierou's back stand up.

  "I heard that the daughter you had with him is now in C City, staying at the Ye's house to rest before giving birth. Why don't I send a few people over to pay her a visit and help put your mind at ease?"

  Song Jierou clenched her fists: "How dare you?!"

  "As long as you dare, I will too. Remember, your dear daughter's happiness is in your own hands."

  Song Jieyou reluctantly linked her arm with Han Jinyu's, and the feeling of being controlled by someone else was really unbearable!

  Han Dang walked over slowly from the front and called out: "Second Uncle, Second Aunt, today's gathering is in the side hall."

  Han Duan led Han Jinyu and Song Jierou into the side hall, and immediately a woman came forward to greet them.

  "Little brother and sister, you said you've been abroad for over a year now, it's about time you came back." Zhang Hui Zhen is the big madam of the Han family, now considered the hostess.

  Song Jierou forced a smile: "Sister-in-law has been working hard alone."

  "How come your face looks so bad?"

  Han Jinyu took the wet towel handed over by the servant and wiped his hands, then picked up a cup of red wine and said, "Maybe it's jet lag."

  Song Jierou smiled: "Mm, haven't gotten used to it yet."

  Zhang Hui Zhen said: "Last time Han Dang returned from a business trip in City C, he said that he saw Second Aunt. I said how is it possible? Your Second Aunt is in Ireland, isn't she, Ah Dang?"

  "Hmm." Han Dang glanced at his mother and nodded.

  This family gathering, seemingly harmonious and joyful on the surface, actually hid a knife in the dark, with everyone vying for power and attention. In such a large family, it's impossible to have too little of anything.

  Song Jierou almost instantly understood why Han Jingyu would send Song Shuying away to City C.

  It's just to get away from the center of the whirlpool.

  It turns out that this man also has a weakness.

  Song Jieyou also picked up a cup of wine and lightly touched it against Han Jinyu's cup.

  I hope you can protect her for a moment and also for a lifetime.

  Is this really Song Shuying's weak point?

  ………………

  That night, back in City C, it was almost 9 o'clock at night.

  Song Yu Hui returned to his rented house in Jinshui District, did some household chores, cooked a bowl of noodles for himself, did a set of yoga poses that helped with sleep before bed, took a bath, and then went to bed.

  Originally, she did these things in order to help her sleep, because she hadn't had high-quality sleep for a long time.

  But unexpectedly, I had a spring dream.

  In her dream, she was panting softly, lying on the big bed, dazedly staring at the wall lamp, the light was a soft orange color, dyeing even her fingertips with this ambiguous color.

  A pair of large male hands were wandering back and forth on her body, but the scene in front of her was a bit blurry, she could only feel it, but couldn't see who this person was.

  She felt as if there was a fierce fire burning inside her body. She suddenly grabbed the very beautiful hands that were wandering on her body and said, "Give it to me!"

  Then, a low and hoarse voice whispered in her ear, "Ask me."

  She didn't care about anything else and loudly cried out: "I beg of you!"

  The whole night, it was as if Song Yuqiao had really experienced that passionate and intoxicating love-making session.

  Early in the morning, Song Yuqiao woke up and found that his whole body was soaked with sweat, and he actually reacted to a dream!

  But everything in the dream seemed as if it had really happened, and having such a dream was just reliving...

  Why is there such a feeling?

  Song Yuqiao panted at the bedside for a while, could it be that she was really starving from not having sex for too long? That shouldn't be right, wasn't she still with Pei Si Cheng just two days ago...

  As she thought of this, her heart beat uncontrollably and his extremely handsome profile involuntarily appeared in her mind...

  She shook her head violently.

  Why did I think of Pei Shuai at this time?

  ………………

  In the morning, Song Yuqiao went to the personnel department to ask for leave after punching in, and then went to hand in her resignation letter to Dai Lin, saying that she would no longer be responsible for the Pei's side.

  Dai Lin Ka pushed her glasses up the bridge of her nose and asked, "What's the reason?"

  Song Yuqiao said: "I'm not capable enough, I won't be able to handle it, Dai Jie, you'd better call..."

  Dai Lin directly interrupted Song Yuqiao's words, "This order has been with you for almost two months now, and yet you're saying that you don't have the ability to do it and want to hand it over to someone else. Do you think this reason is convincing? I reject it, you will follow the usual procedure and hand it over to the person from Pei's side."

  Song Yuqiao has improved her professional skills a lot in the past three years, but when it comes to handling interpersonal relationships, she is still a blank sheet of paper. In fact, she didn't want to take responsibility for this matter with Pei's family and could have expressed it in another way, but she used the most foolish method instead.

  Song Yuqiao came out of Dai Lina's office, and Zhou Haitang had expected it.

  "It's definitely not going to work," said Zhou Haitang, "I've long guessed that Dai Lina would never agree to you not following the Pei family's single."

  Song Yuqiao felt a bit defeated and said, "How did you know?"

  Zhou Haitang said: "You have a bit of a relationship with Pei Sicheng, how could Dai Lina not take advantage of this, things that can bring profit to the company, she doesn't care too much about it, why not use it?"

  Song Yuqiao moved her lips, but it wasn't that she and Pei Shichen's affair in S city had been exposed to others. However, judging from Zhou Haitang's expression, it was definitely not that she knew about it. If she did know, Zhou Haitang would have been the first to make a big fuss, and wouldn't be speaking so calmly.

  "What did you say?"

  Just as Song Yuqiao was about to ask, a colleague called her from outside the door: "Song Yuqiao, aren't you expecting an express delivery? Someone is here at the entrance."

  "Alright, you go stop him for me!"

  Song Yuqiao hastily took out the expensive skirt that Pei Si had given her last time, which Zhou Haitang said was priced at 12,000 yuan in a specialty store, and went to mail it by same-city express.

  This thing is really expensive, it's better not to have it.

  So she really missed an opportunity to know about the relationship between Pei Si Cheng and Ye Ze Nan.

  It turned out that the relationship mentioned by Zhou Haitang was indeed that Pei Sicheng was the younger brother of Ye Zong's wife, and she thought Song Yuqiao knew about it, so she didn't mention it again.

  ………………

  Two days later, Pei Si Cheng brought Pei Hang Yu back to City C by plane.

  Pae Sseong wore a large pair of sunglasses, and Pae Ho-yoon also wore a pair, but smaller than Pae Sseong's. They appeared in front of many reporters at the airport, with flashbulbs flashing as fast as bees flapping their wings. As a result, within an hour, the "father-son style" sunglasses had become a hot-selling item on Taobao, and were even labeled as "Pae Sseong same style".

  Bae Ho-young got into the private car with his dad and lay down comfortably on the back seat: "I'm so tired! What if I don't want to go to school?"

  Pei Shu said: "You were originally a borrowed reader."

  Bai Hangyu got up, puffed out his buttocks and asked: "What is called 'borrowing to read'?"

  Mr. Li said in front of him: "Young master, you are not yet at the age to attend school, so you can only borrow a class for now. If your grades are good and you can keep up, we will consider it."

  Actually, Mrs. Pei was eager to find talent and wanted to cultivate a 13-year-old Tsinghua or Peking University prodigy, so she pulled strings to get him into school a year early, but who knew that the young master's grades would be so bad, probably will have to repeat next year.

  Bae Ho-young didn't understand and asked: "What does it mean?"

  "Which means, this year you and Mu Xiaodong are both first-year students. Next year, Mu Xiaodong will be a second-year student, but you'll still be a first-year student. The year after that, Mu Xiaodong will be a third-year student, but you'll still be a first-year student... and so on, until Mu Xiaodong becomes a fourth-year student, and you're still a first-year student."

  Bae Ho-young: “......”

  Then, Pei Hangyu suddenly burst into tears, why discriminate against learning trash like this!

  ………………

  Song Yuqiao found that the advertising planning case with Pei's family was no longer contacted by Pei Si Cheng, but by the original person in charge, Fang Mei.

  Fang Mei is a woman who looks very capable and efficient, just like Dai Lin Ka, another elite woman. She speaks very quickly, and at their first meeting, she didn't waste any time on small talk before switching to discussing advertising strategies.

  So, when talking to her, Song Yuqiao had to tighten a string, and his speech speed also accelerated unconsciously. After two hours of discussion, Song Yuqiao's throat was a little hoarse.

  Fang Mei asked her assistant to bring over two cups of jasmine tea: "Moisten your throat, this afternoon I'll find the chief designer to modify the design plan."

  Song Yu nodded.

  It only took two days, from design to draft to revision, and it's almost done. In fact, handover work should be done in this swift and decisive manner, previously when I handed over the project to Pei Si, it actually took a whole month.

  These two days, in the high-level office area of Pei's company, it was not that she had never seen Pei Sheng again, but when she saw him again, he seemed like a complete stranger, which actually saved Song Yuqiao from her own embarrassment.

  "Manager Fang, show me this month's project personnel adjustments."

  Pei Si Cheng's voice suddenly appeared behind him, and Song Yu Qiao's back stiffened for a moment before he immediately stood up.

  Fang Mei was momentarily perplexed, hadn't Li Bei already taken away the draft of the personnel adjustment? However, she had always been one to do more and say less, so she simply handed over a bound copy of the document from among the three printed copies that had been set aside for backup. Pei Si stretched out his hand to receive it.

  These hands had long fingers, distinct phalanges, and with just one glance, they reminded Song Yuqiao of the spring dream she had two days ago. The handsome big hands in her dream made her blush, and she took a step back.

  Pei Sicheng's gaze swept across Song Yuqiao's slightly flushed face, and he silently turned around and left.

  ………………

  Half an hour later, Song Yuqiao bid farewell to Fang Mei, gathered all the documents and was about to take the elevator when a small figure suddenly rushed out of the elevator.

  It's Bae Ho-young.

  Bae Ho-young is rubbing his nose and wiping away tears, followed by Bae Se-chang.

  The two men showed almost the same expression when they saw Song Yuqiao, first looking at her for a while before turning away. However, Pei Si's actions seemed more natural, while Pei Hangyu looked like he was very reluctant to turn away.

  Song Yuqiao nodded slightly to Pei Si and stepped back a step, making way for the two of them.

  As a result, Pei Hangyu followed behind Pei Si's buttocks for two steps before suddenly sitting down on the ground, pointing at Pei Si and shouting: "Dad, you don't love me! I want to find my mom!"

  Song Yu was startled and hurried over to help Pei Hangyu up.

  Pei Hangyu shook off Song Yuqiao's hand and continued to cry loudly: "A child without a mother is like a weed, his father doesn't love him, he didn't even come to watch the school football match! Other kids all have their fathers and mothers watching them! Waaahhh..."

  That sentence "A child without a mother is like a rootless grass" made Song Yuqiao's heart ache.

  She did say that she wanted to keep a distance from Pei Shuai, but the child is not at fault, especially for children like Pei Huaiyu who come from single-parent families and lack maternal love.

  Song Yuqiao squatted down and pulled Pei Hangyu's small hand: "Is there going to be a football match at school?"

  Bai Hangyu's eyes were red from crying, and he nodded heavily: "Daddy is very busy, not accompanying me to school, waaahhh..."

  Pei Si turned around, crossed his arms and looked at his son who was curled up on the ground, saying: "Didn't grandma say she would go with you?"

  Bae Hwan-young said: "My grandmother has been having diarrhea since morning, she's so old, if she cheers in the audience, she'll definitely be scared!"

  In the distant Pei family courtyard, Old Lady Pei was enthusiastically humming a tune while watering the flowers and grass when she suddenly let out a loud sneeze, rubbed her nose, and wondered who was scolding her.

  She let out another sneeze and smiled with her mouth open, it must be her precious grandson thinking of her.

  ………………

  Bai Hangyu cried with a nose full of snot and tears, as the youngest son of the Bai family, the darling of the entire Bai family, such a big thing would definitely attract everyone in the 63-story office building.

  In fact, on the 63rd floor of Pei's Corporation, it was mainly Pei Si Cheng's personal office area. Apart from a few trusted high-ranking executives, there were only two super-efficient assistants, Li Bei and Yu Na.

  Yu Na went out to help Pei Si with business, leaving only Li Bei alone.

  The rest of the people couldn't understand what was going on, but Li Bei stood far away, completely understanding why this scene had appeared. He was very smart and stood far away to watch the show, not intending to go forward. The financial manager, Deng Yongjun, walked over with a cup of coffee in his hand, "Why is it so lively? You two aren't going to go up and help?"

  Is it really helpful to go up now?

  Li Bei turned around and left, casually taking a gossip magazine from the table.

  "Where are you going?"

  Li Bei said: "Squat toilet."

  ………………

  Song Yuqiao pulled Pei Hangyu up from the ground, helped him pat the dust off his butt, and wiped away the tears on his face with her fingers: "Auntie will go watch your ball game, okay?"

  "Really? Qiaoqiao, you're going with me?" Pei Huaiyu suddenly stopped wailing, but tears continued to fall uncontrollably, his eyes stinging as if covered by a layer of water, unable to see clearly.

  Song Yuqiao nodded: "Really, when is the match?"

  "Tomorrow at three thirty in the afternoon." Pei Hangyu muttered indistinctly.

  Song Yuqiao said: "I'll go watch your match when the time comes..."

  She hadn't even finished her sentence when Pei Si Cheng had already pulled Pei Hang Yu up and directly picked him up.

  Pei Si Cheng said: "I won't bother Miss Song anymore, I'm really sorry for wasting your time."

  Song Yuqiao felt a pang of heartache, and with her eyes wide open, she watched as Pei Su Cheng took away a tearful Pei Huaiyu.

  Pei Si Cheng carried Pei Hang Yu into his own office and closed the door.

  Bai Hangyu's tears kept flowing non-stop, and he took out the onion from his jacket pocket that had been squeezed dry by his small hands earlier. He threw it far away: "Dad, what should I do if I can't stop crying?"

  Pei Su opened the bathroom door: "Go wash your hands first, stop rubbing your eyes."

  ………………

  Song Yuqiao really didn't know why she had this feeling towards a strange child, but seeing Pei Haoyu's tear-stained face made her feel very uncomfortable, especially when she heard him say "A child without a mother is like a blade of grass", it was as if she was the mother who abandoned this child.

  Do I really have to go watch Bae Hwang-yoo's soccer game tomorrow?

  Song Yuqiao once helped her second aunt teach a class in a primary school, at that time she taught several Chinese lessons to the second grade students, and also understood some of the psychological conditions of children. Children at this age are psychologically sensitive, if guided improperly, it can have a great impact on their mental growth.

  "Hey!"

  Zhou Haitang saw Song Yuqiao coming back from outside and sitting in a daze, so she quietly walked over and startled her.

  Song Yuqiao was really frightened and took a deep breath back.

  Zhou Haitang sat over: "What are you thinking about? You're so focused. These past few days, I've been feeling like your soul is not at peace."

  Song Yuqiao let out a long sigh: "I want a child."

  Zhou Haitang was slightly moved upon hearing this.

  She thought Song Yuqiao was lamenting the relationship between him and Ye's CEO, so she changed the subject: "Two days ago, a headhunting company approached me to poach me to Shengshi. What do you think? Anyway, your contract is about to expire in two months."

  Song Yuqiao said: "Not yet planned."

  Zhou Haitang didn't know that between Song Yuqiao and Ye Zenan, one wanted to leave while the other held on tight, plus there was a mother-in-law, and adding to this complicated relationship was Xu Yuyi's daughter, with Song Hui protecting her, it wasn't as simple as just wanting to leave.

  Zhou Haitang said: "I still have a month left on my contract, and at that time I don't plan to renew it. At that time, I'll go take a look around first, if the employee benefits are good, then you can go over."

  It's actually because she offended President Ye last time, scolding Ye Zenan until he was furious, and it's already a great kindness that Ye Zenan hasn't found an excuse to fire her in the past two months. She should just quietly resign on her own initiative.

  At night, Song Yuqiao originally planned to buy ingredients and cook at home, but Zhou Haitang said she wanted to eat steak. "Pity me, a single dog like this. You say going to a Western restaurant to eat alone is too embarrassing."

  Zhou Haitang's family is from C City, and they are considered a relatively well-off family. As an only child, she has high expectations. She brought Song Yuqiao to a high-end Western restaurant, excitedly saying that she had once seen a certain celebrity in this very restaurant.

  Song Yuqiao ordered a French-style black pepper beef, Zhou Haitang ordered a Texas small beef and also ordered a fresh shrimp pizza.

  "Try some, the pizza here is delicious, I can't finish it by myself."

  Song Yuqiao and Zhou Haitang were in a position in the middle of the hall, just right to see the entrance. However, after a while, the broadcast in the restaurant came on, saying that an Alto with license plate XXXXX had some minor accidents and needed to be handled outside.

  Zhou Haitang suddenly jumped up.

  "My car!"

  Having eaten almost, Zhou Haitang directly took the bag and rushed out. Song Yuqiao called the waiter to pay the bill before following him out. Seeing a red private car in front of them not far away, Zhou Haitang was arguing with someone with a red face and thick neck.

  The driver of the car might be a novice, looking quite nervous. When reversing in the parking space, he suddenly hit Zhou Haitang's car behind him and was frightened. He quickly turned the steering wheel, but unexpectedly over-corrected, directly hitting the front bumper of Zhou Haitang's car, which became crooked, with severe scratches on the front.

  Song Yuqiao took a closer look and found that the car was a Mercedes-Benz, a big Benz had collided with an Alto, and only Zhou Haitang dared to stare at him like this.

  But in the end, it is indeed the Mercedes-Benz owner who bears full responsibility.

  The driver of this car is just a novice driver, and it seems that he came out to test drive in secret without telling his boss, so now he looks particularly nervous and wants to settle privately.

  "Private settlement? Can you afford it? I want compensation now!"

  Although she is not that kind of unreasonable person, but her car was parked properly and was hit by someone for no reason, she was still very indignant.

  Song Yuqiao said to the new driver, "You call your boss. This matter must be handled by the owner of the car in person. If you continue to shirk responsibility, we will have to report it to the police."

  Zhou Haitang heard Song Yuqiao say "call the police", picked up his mobile phone and wanted to call the police, but was pressed by Song Yuqiao.

  The driver said: "Don't call the police! I'll call the boss right away!"

  Above this western restaurant is a billiard hall. The boss made an appointment with several friends to play billiards upstairs.

  When this person walked down from the stairs, Zhou Haidong suddenly stared with wide eyes and involuntarily pulled on Song Yuqiao's sleeve.

  This man looks refined and elegant, with a handsome figure. As he can be considered the boss, he should also be over thirty years old.

  His gaze first swept across Song Yuqiao and Zhou Haitang's faces, then walked forward to check the car situation, and directly told the secretary behind him: "Compensate this lady according to the 4S store standard."

  Song Yuqiao was stunned for a moment, and it was actually settled so easily? However, looking at him as a big boss, he shouldn't care about such a small amount of money either.

  Until this man went upstairs to the billiard room again, Zhou Haitang, who had been in a daze all along, moved his lips and said: "It's over, Yuqiao, I think we can't go to Shengshi anymore."

  "Why?" Song Yuqiao was a bit unresponsive to Zhou Haitang's sudden change of subject, saying, "Haven't you already had the interview? You'll be leaving next month."

  Zhou Haitang wailed: "The person just now was Yu Zedong, the boss of Shengshi! At that time, he interviewed three people and even went to the interview site..."

  Song Yuqiao was also stunned after hearing it, and it was so coincidental.

  "It doesn't matter, it's dark now, he may not recognize you."

  Zhou Haitang has really been at odds with her superiors lately, first scolding her current boss in public, and now demanding that her future superior pay for car repairs.

  Now all I can do is listen to heaven and follow fate: "I hope so."

  ………………

  Tonight, Song Yuqiao opened an old-fashioned record player before going to sleep and played a soothing light music.

  She's already had a shadow, sometimes she doesn't dare to close her eyes, afraid that once she closes them, what she sees is Pei Su Cheng, and it's just a spring dream.

  But at this night, when I was about to fall asleep, there came a loud knock on the door.

  It's already past eleven o'clock, who could it be at this hour?

  "Who?" asked Song Yuqiao tentatively.

  "Outside the door: 'It's me, Xiao Qiao, open the door.'"
