She was fired after she refused to be the CEO's dog licker.

I did top up one million yuan into Shen Hualan's card at Madam Zhang Si's Qili Beauty Salon.

Shen Hualan is such a free person, she goes to the beauty salon every few days. She will know about this matter soon, so I am not surprised at all that she called me.

One million is not a small sum. Even though Shen Hualan is now Mrs. Zhou and has no shortage of money, this one million is enough to make her happy.

"Xuxu, why are you so nice to your aunt? I know you are a well-behaved and sensible child, a thousand times and ten thousand times better than that Lin Xixi who only knows how to suck blood from our Hanzhi." Shen Hualan didn't wait for me to speak, and took the initiative to suggest, "But you are too polite, aunt doesn't know how to thank you. Are you free this weekend? Auntie will take you to eat and go shopping to choose what you want, okay? Don't worry about choosing, auntie will pay for the whole process!"

"No, Auntie, you don't need to thank me." I quickly interrupted Shen Hualan and explained, "Although I helped you put the money into your card, I was just offering you something on behalf of someone else. The money is not mine, but Mr. Zhou's. If you want to thank someone, thank Mr. Zhou."

How could I have a million to do favors for others? I have spent all my money on my daughter. Even if I had a million, I would never do favors for Shen Hualan. We are no longer friends.

This money belongs to Zhou Hanzhi.

That’s right, this one million is the one million that Zhou Hanzhi gave me.

It was that night that he bought me a million.

I am not a woman who sells herself for money, so I will not accept this one million. But if I return the money directly to Zhou Hanzhi, he will definitely not take it back easily, and might even argue with me. I also don’t want people to know that there is a financial dispute between us, so I gave the money to Shen Hualan in the name of Zhou Hanzhi.

This can be considered as a disguised way of returning the money to Zhou Hanzhi.

"What? Han Zhi's money?" Shen Hualan's voice on the other end of the phone sounded very surprised, and then she asked urgently, "How could you use Han Zhi's money to recharge my card? You are not Han Zhi's secretary assistant, this money is not given to you by Han Zhi, right? Xuxu, tell your aunt, what is going on here?"

She paused for a moment, then made a decision: "Forget it, this is definitely not a trivial matter, and it's hard to explain it in a few words over the phone. Xuxu, you're almost off work, I'll pick you up now, and we'll have dinner together tonight and talk while we eat."

How could I possibly explain to Shen Hualan the reason for this money?

Should I take the initiative to say that the money was the reward Zhou Hanzhi gave me for sleeping with me for one night?

I won't tell you even if you kill me. I want Zhou Hanzhi to explain this matter himself.

So I interrupted Shen Hualan again and said, "Auntie, I have an appointment tonight, so I'm afraid I can't make an appointment with you. But you can just ask Mr. Zhou about this matter directly. He knows the most."

"Then Xuxu, can't you tell me? What's going on between you and Hanzhi? Can you tell your aunt about it?" Shen Hualan was anxious and her tone changed a little.

I said patiently and politely: "Auntie, you should ask Mr. Zhou. I have something else to deal with here. I won't talk to you for now. I'm hanging up now."

After I hung up the phone, Shen Hualan sent me another message, still asking about that matter.

I pretended not to see it and did not reply to her message.

She called again, but I still thought I was busy and didn't answer.

After that, Shen Hualan didn't make any movement. I guess she went to ask Zhou Hanzhi the questions.

This is exactly the result I want. I don't want to have any private entanglement with Zhou Hanzhi, but I also want to return the money to him. It's most appropriate to use Shen Hualan's mouth to convey the whereabouts of the money.

I guess Zhou Hanzhi would not reveal the details of the one million to Shen Hualan.

After all, he has always wanted to marry Lin Xixi. If he gets involved with me again, it will delay his chance of marrying Lin Xixi. Besides, the one million has already been deposited into Shen Hualan's beauty card. He can't just take it out of the card and use the money to bother me.

Adults always leave room for propriety when handling things, and everything is self-explanatory. I think Zhou Hanzhi should understand my attitude, and he should not bother me again in the future.

Sure enough, after Shen Hualan’s messages and calls stopped, my phone became quiet, and Zhou Hanzhi didn’t send any messages either.

This matter was resolved perfectly.

My heart calmed down, and after finishing the last task, the sky outside the window was gradually darkening, and the moon was rising above the willow branches.

Everyone had left work long ago and the company was quiet. I was not in a hurry to go home. I stood quietly by the window, looking at the quiet dark blue sky outside, the hustle and bustle of traffic downstairs, and the lights of thousands of homes gradually lighting up not far away.

I made a silent wish in my heart that after I completed my plan, I would forget all the past and live a stable and ordinary life with my aunt, uncle and daughter.

Just like everyone in this city who is rushing home, they put aside their tiredness and rush to their own warm home.

But when can I complete my plan?

When will we be able to find out the truth about grandma’s murder?

When can I get revenge for what happened two years ago?

When can I sleep peacefully without any stress?

Perhaps, it will take some time, but I don’t need to wait too long. After all, I now have a new opportunity to enter the study in the Zhou family’s old house.

I took out my cell phone and opened the WeChat chat page between Jiang Yin and me. Only then did I notice that after I made that joke last night that I could tell fortunes, Jiang Yin sent me several messages in a row, all asking me if I could really tell fortunes and what I could tell.

This silly girl, I remember she joined the party when she was in college and was a staunch materialist. How come she is so interested in metaphysics now?

Counting the days, it’s almost the weekend, and the day Jiang Yin and I agreed to go see the exhibition is approaching.

If I want to visit the exhibition with Jiang Yin, I must prepare in advance. Getting a good rest is the most necessary. I need to stay in good shape these days.

I packed my things, opened the office door, and prepared to go home and rest.

Outside the office door, there was a quarrel with a crying tone: "You said you went home and slept last night, so where did these kiss marks on your neck come from?"

"I understand that men have needs, and I've said I can give them to them, but why would you rather find someone else than touch me, Hanzhi? Is there something wrong with me? Tell me..."

I paused in my movement to open the door and looked at the two people outside awkwardly.

It's Zhou Hanzhi and Lin Xixi.

Zhou Hanzhi's handsome face was gloomy, and Lin Xixi's face was full of tears. She felt aggrieved and broken. She was holding his sleeves tightly and questioning him sadly.

The young couple had a quarrel, and it seemed to be about what happened last night.
