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

Mrs. Zhang Si said she forgot to bring her cell phone, so she didn't receive my text messages or calls.

She also said that she stayed at Xiaoyuan's place last night.

So where did she forget her phone? Can she find it?

"It's okay. My phone is where I usually live. It won't be lost." Mrs. Zhang Si explained with a smile, "I'll go get it back later."

But my heart sank when I heard this. It was just a small matter of forgetting to bring my cell phone, but it allowed me to glimpse some hidden truth.

It was clear that Mrs. Zhang Si was called back last night by Mr. Zhang in an emergency call. So why did she stay at Zhang Tingyuan's place last night instead of with Mr. Zhang?

There must have been a dispute between her and Mr. Zhang.

As expected, Master Zhang made things difficult for her because of me.

"Godmother..." I felt an indescribable guilt in my heart. I called her softly, but I couldn't say sorry.

Saying this over the phone is too light.

However, before I could finish my words, Mrs. Zhang Si on the other end of the phone immediately brought up another topic: "By the way, Xuxu, I saw the news. The official announcement was made, and I noticed that the previous revealing news is no longer available. The discussion about this matter on the entire network has also disappeared. Our Xuxu has finally been cleared of the charges."

"I came to you for this matter. Thank you, godmother. If it weren't for you, this matter wouldn't be so easy to resolve." When I mentioned this, I immediately thanked Madam Zhang Si, but then I thought of the grievances she had suffered, and my tone became gloomy. "It's because of this matter that made godmother embarrassed. Xuxu felt very..."

"What?" Unexpectedly, Mrs. Zhang Si let out a low cry of surprise at this time, "Xu Xu, you are wrong, godmother does not have that much power to cover up so many people's mouths."

Now, it was my turn to be stunned.

This was not done by Mrs. Zhang Si.

Whose handwriting was it?

I can't, really...

No, not possible!

Even if it wasn't Xiao Ye, Wu Ling, or Madam Zhang Si, it was definitely impossible that Zhou Hanzhi did it.

There is no need for him to take action on my behalf. I am not important to him, and there is no need for him to waste resources and energy.

What's more, I have never asked him for help, and he will never take the initiative to lend a hand.

Several thoughts raced through my mind, and then I smiled and said, "Godmother, it's you. It's the result of your hard work with Xiaoye and Wu Ling. This is all thanks to your help. You really love Xuxu."

"Silly child, isn't this what you should do? Have you forgotten that I am your mother?" Mrs. Zhang Si laughed again.

But she was wrong.

In this world, no one should be nice to anyone, only who is willing to be nice to whom.

Anyone who is willing to be good to me deserves my gratitude.

In my heart, I really treat her as my mother.

"Godmother, do you have time these two days? Is it convenient? I would like to invite everyone to have dinner together." Everyone is kind to me, so I should show some appreciation.

Mrs. Zhang Si paused at this moment, and when she spoke again, her tone was filled with apology: "I'm afraid it's not a good time these two days. There are some things at home that need my attention, and I may not be able to spare the time... But Xuxu, you have been busy during this period, so you should rest more and take care of yourself. There is no need to rush to thank me."

She told me to rest more and not to rush to treat everyone to a meal to express gratitude, but I knew it was just an excuse.

Mrs. Zhang Si really loves me. She truly treats me like her own daughter. Whenever she has the chance, she wants to see me and stay with me. When I say I want to have dinner together, she must be very happy.

The reason she refused was, of course, because she was trapped and couldn't get out.

As for being trapped by sleep.

Of course it’s Mr. Zhang.

My originally high spirits instantly dropped, not because Mrs. Zhang Si couldn't have dinner with me, but because I once again verified that conjecture.

Mrs. Zhang Si was put in a difficult position by Mr. Zhang because of me.

It is very likely that this is the reason why she cannot go out and see me during this period.

I was sad, and the guilt in my heart deepened.

It seems that Mr. Zhang really doesn't like me, and he also doesn't like Madam Zhang Si to have any contact with me.

"Sister, our mother really can't spare the time right now, but it's okay, I have plenty of time, I'll have dinner with you later!" As if sensing my disappointment, Zhang Tingyuan on the other end of the phone immediately made a new suggestion.

Sure enough, everyone loves me and doesn’t want me to be sad.

I smiled and agreed: "Okay."

"I won't let Xuxu wait for too long. I'll ask Xuxu out as soon as I finish my work here, okay?" Mrs. Zhang Si was still coaxing me.

I reacted and immediately said, "It's okay, mom, you go take care of the housework first, I'll wait for you."

Mr. Zhang has already made her very embarrassed, I can't add more pressure to her.

I talked to Mrs. Zhang Si for a while before hanging up the phone.

My problem was solved smoothly, but I couldn't feel happy in my heart. I felt a little depressed.

Not only because of Madam Zhang Si, but also because of... Zhou Hanzhi.

Why did I think of that man again?

I don't miss him! He definitely didn't help with this matter. It definitely couldn't be him!

I went back to work, trying to devote all my attention to my work and focus on it without distraction.

But sometimes it's like this, the more you want to focus, the more easily you will be distracted by irrelevant factors.

Zhou Hanzhi always appears frequently in my mind.

It was his pale face last night, his anxious and worried face, and the way he frowned, telling me helplessly and dotingly to be good.

There are also details that I have overlooked but suddenly remembered at this moment.

When we came out of the elevator, he held me and asked me if I had drunk any alcohol.

He also said that if you have a bad stomach, you should drink less alcohol, and when encountering problems, you should think of countermeasures in time to deal with them. There is no point in drinking to drown your sorrows.

The news was so big and made the headlines, I'm not surprised at all that he knew about this.

But he was still ill, yet he came to see me...

Does he care about me a little bit?

My news was exposed last night. The negative news about me came so suddenly. It was obvious that my opponents were well prepared. But in just one night, the matter was resolved, and it was resolved so cleanly.

Could it be that he did this?

After all, there are really not many people who have this kind of energy. Xiao Ye Wu Ling and Mrs. Zhang Si both denied that this was their ability.

Could it be him...

I was so distracted that I didn't notice someone entering my office until the other person held my hand and called out softly, "Nan Xu."

I suddenly woke up, subconsciously pulled my hand back, looked carefully, and calmed my panicked heart a little: "Yan Dong? You are finally back, when did you come back?"

The person sitting in front of me was Yan Dong, whom I hadn’t seen for a long time.

He looked much thinner than before, and had some signs of fatigue from not getting enough rest, but he was in good shape, looking at me with sparkling eyes: "I just got back as soon as I finished my work, Nanxu, did you miss me during this time?"
