The three of them arrived at their accommodation. Ye Tuan Tuan went straight to her room. After setting up her computer, she started browsing the internet. She quickly found out Gu Yunting's identity. Looking at her uncle's impressive background, she felt she could cooperate with him nicely.
Ye Wan and Jiang Mi began to pack their luggage. After packing, they also had to go buy some groceries. The new company had already selected its address. The head office was only responsible for renting the place; Ye Wan and Jiang Mi had to handle everything else.
Jiang Mi had saved Ye Wan and Ye Tuan Tuan's lives back then. Although Jiang Mi had never said it aloud over the years, Ye Wan knew she couldn't let go of her daughter. Therefore, after careful consideration, she proposed opening a branch company in Beijing, which would allow Jiang Mi to return and see Mian Mian.
Everyone was tired today, so they ordered takeout for dinner. After eating, they all returned to their respective rooms.
Ye Wan lay in bed, unable to fall asleep. She had overestimated herself. She thought her heart would be as still as water after six years, but lying in bed now, every scene that had happened before replayed in her mind like a movie.
And his final ruthlessness... thinking about it still made her heart ache as if it were being cut.
...
Jiang Mian Mian was already eleven years old and in the sixth grade, about to enter junior high school. When she returned home and didn't see her father, she asked the aunt who looked after her when Dad would be back.
To take care of her, Jiang Jingxiu had changed all his bad habits. He now went to work and returned home on time every day, just to spend time with his daughter.
"Sir seems to have gone on a blind date," the aunt said casually.
Jiang Mian Mian's expression immediately darkened. "Are you serious? Where?"
"I only heard Mr. talking on the phone. I don't know the exact location," the aunt replied, shaking her head.
Jiang Mian Mian put her schoolbag aside and went to the sofa to make a phone call.
"Miss, I'd say Mr. is still young. It's not good for him to remain single all the time. He really should find someone else. Then you'll have a mother too and won't have to envy other people's children anymore," the aunt said while doing her chores.
Jiang Mian Mian's face turned red with anger. She shouted furiously, "Don't you just want your daughter to be my stepmother? Look at what your daughter looks like! A round face and pockmarks. I really doubt where you get your courage from! Besides, I have a mother, and I've never envied anyone!"
The aunt's face changed when she was shouted at. "I didn't mean anything like that. Don't talk nonsense. Besides, I've taken care of you for so many years. It's all for your own good. What's wrong with my daughter being your mother? We'll treat you like our own flesh and blood!"
"Didn't my father pay you a salary for taking care of me all these years? It's only natural to do things for money. Stop playing the emotional card with me. Do you really think I didn't hear what you and your black-hearted daughter were saying? 'Get married quickly, have a son, and then kick me out so your daughter's child can inherit the family fortune!' You and your daughter are venomous spiders. Get out of my house immediately!" Jiang Mian Mian yelled, jumping up and down.
The aunt was surprised that this short-lived girl had heard her conversation with her daughter. Her face became flustered, but she said, "You must have misheard! I've taken care of you for so many years; you're used to it. I can't leave."
"Get out! Can't you hear me telling you to get out? Get out, get out now!" Jiang Mian Mian picked up a cushion and threw it at the venomous spider. The aunt's face also changed in fear.
