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

What happened to Zhou Hanzhi?

What was the reason for him being so angry?

It seemed like he didn't come to me to settle the debt from last night, but to question me about charging money for Shen Hualan's beauty card.

The development of the matter was beyond my expectation. The reason why I returned the one million through Shen Hualan was to express my attitude while avoiding a quarrel with Zhou Hanzhi. It was a mutual understanding between adults.

But I never imagined that this method of mine not only failed to avoid the fight with Zhou Hanzhi, but instead caused Zhou Hanzhi's reaction to be so intense.

But I don’t understand why he was so angry and said such things.

It's obvious that he treated me as a woman who sold herself for money and deliberately used one million to humiliate me, but why is he saying now that it's not money for selling myself?

He also questioned me angrily and aggrievedly why I was willing to accept the gift from Yuan Tianye but not his gift.

What's wrong with him? Why does this symptom look so much like...jealousy?

"Impossible!" As soon as this guess came to my mind, I subconsciously interrupted it.

It's impossible. How could Zhou Hanzhi be jealous of me? Why would he be jealous? If he was jealous, he would be jealous of Lin Xixi, not me.

I can't take these appearances as real.

I will not mistake my position in Zhou Hanzhi's heart. To him, I am just an ex. Even if he doesn't want me now, he can't let others get me, otherwise he will lose face.

He only has possessiveness towards me, no feelings. The so-called anger and grievance are just ridiculous machismo, not because of feelings.

The door was not closed tightly, and a cold wind blew in. The dullness in the air was long gone, replaced by a sense of depression.

I walked over and closed the door, blocking the source of the cold wind, but I couldn't block the hole in my heart that was emitting coldness...

I was in a bad mood and didn't feel like eating. I also felt very tired, both physically and mentally.

However, just as I was about to take a shower and rest, there was another knock on the door.

Who is coming again?

I opened the door and unexpectedly saw a delivery man in yellow work clothes standing outside the door: "Ms. Meng, your takeaway has arrived."

"Takeout?" I don't remember ordering takeout.

"Yes, it's seafood porridge." The delivery man politely handed me a bag with the word "Ruxuan" printed on the outer packaging bag.

It is the famous porridge shop that Yan Dong and I used to go to. We used to have breakfast there and the food there tasted quite good. Now it has become the exclusive takeaway shop for our company's overtime work.

But, I really didn't order takeout.

Who ordered this takeaway for me?

Could it be a severe winter?

But how did Yan Dong know that I hadn’t eaten? And why did he suddenly order takeout for me without even saying hello?

I was wondering when my phone rang. It was a message from Mrs. Zhang Si: "Xu Xu, did you receive the takeaway? I was worried that you were in a bad mood and didn't want to eat properly, so I asked Yuan for your specific address and sent you a bowl of porridge. You have a bad stomach and can't go hungry, understand?"

It turned out to be the takeaway that Mrs. Zhang Si ordered for me.

My heart pounded and that familiar feeling came over me again.

It's a warm, secure, touching feeling, and a feeling of being deeply loved and embraced.

She recognized my car at a glance as she was driving in the opposite direction of me on the road. She stopped the car to comfort me despite Mr. Zhang's dissatisfaction. She was also worried about my stomach and worried that I would not eat well, so she specially ordered porridge for me.

I opened the bag and found it was filled with beef porridge, black truffle and mushroom dumplings, gold medal oyster pancakes, original soup dumplings, four-color shrimp dumplings, velvet spinach matcha cake...

My heart was filled with warmth and emotion again. I remembered these things. They were what Yan Dong and I ordered when we had dinner together last time. At that time, Mrs. Zhang Si sat in our private room for a while and talked to me. Unexpectedly, she remembered all the dishes we ordered on the table, and this time she ordered all of them and sent them to me.

So gentle and meticulous, they really seem like my family.

Once again, I sighed in my heart: Whoever could be the child of Mrs. Zhang Si would be so lucky. I really envy Zhang Tingyuan. It would be great if I also had a mother like this.

No wonder Zhang Tingyuan has such an innocent, lively and confident personality. Love can nourish people. Only children who grow up in love will be so confident and brave.

In fact, I also grew up in love. I was deeply loved by my grandmother and aunt. However, I had never seen my mother and never felt maternal love.

...I don't know if maternal love is as gentle and delicate as that of Madam Zhang Si?

A lot happened that night and my emotions went through a lot of ups and downs, but after I had eaten, I regained that sense of fulfillment and happiness.

At night, I had a dream. In the dream, I returned to my childhood, but the memories were completely unfamiliar.

I was originally sitting in a luxuriously decorated car, in a warm embrace with a sweet scent, a gentle white hand gently caressing my head, and the woman smiled softly and called me: "Be good."

But soon the scene in the dream changed. My clothes were dirty and black, and I was huddled in a corner of an alley, cold and hungry. I was chased by a stray dog, and I ran in panic. Then I turned around and bumped into a man's leg.

He looked down at me, then hugged me in his arms, helped me drive away the ferocious stray dogs, and bought me a meat bun to eat.

I devoured the buns, feeling wronged and sad. Tears blurred my vision and I couldn't see his face clearly...

Just at this moment, the alarm clock rang, pulling me out of my dream.

I opened my eyes and stared at the snow-white ceiling above my head, trying hard to recall the faces of everyone who was sleeping in my dream.

Unfortunately, I can’t remember the faces of all the people in the dream. They are all blurry. I only remember that the stray dog ​​was a Dalmatian, dirty and smelly…

Strange, why would I have such a dream? I grew up with my grandmother as a child. I never rode in a luxury car, nor was I picked up by a man and fed meat buns. But when I was picking up scraps with my grandmother, I was chased by a stray dog. Coincidentally, that stray dog ​​was also a Dalmatian.

Perhaps, I had such a dream because I missed my grandma, or perhaps, the warmth that Madam Zhang Si gave me yesterday made me begin to yearn for maternal love, so I had such a strange dream.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but laugh at myself. I was already very happy to receive the warmth given by Mrs. Zhang Si. How could I ask for more?

I sat up and prepared to go to the bathroom when I heard a message alert from my phone.

I opened it and saw that it was a message from You He.

He sent a photo.
