I heard you are a junior

It was almost seven o'clock when they got home, Liu Jinya and Zhong Yuxiao didn't feel like going out again, they planned to use quick-frozen dumplings for dinner.

For simple things that don't require cooking skills, Zhong Yuxiao always rushes to do them. Liu Jinya saw Zhong Baobao's love for the kitchen, so she compromised and didn't intervene. Thinking that the time is right now, she called Guan Yaqin as soon as possible and said to resign things.

It was already dark outside. She walked to the balcony and looked down at the lit phone screen in the darkness. She always felt that it was extremely dazzling. She swiped her fingertips, but she couldn't click the dial.

She was still a little hesitant.

The feeling of reluctance is easy to handle. She likes investing in calligraphy and painting, and she is willing to go in that direction, it's just a matter of time.The problem is that she suddenly leaves early, and there will be some unavoidable confusion in the work arrangement of the financial department. The assistant is to tear down the east to make up for the west, and Xiao Cao from the business department will take over temporarily. It will take time for the people from the N city branch to arrive. Accountant Sun's position was changed frequently, she didn't figure it out herself, and now she has to hand over to the next person.

Liu Jinya could imagine Guan Yaqin's answer - she was silent for a few seconds, then called her full name coldly, and asked repeatedly: "Are you sure?"

It would be even more terrifying if they were face to face. Guan Yaqin is not like Zhong Yuxiao who likes to lean on a chair and look arrogantly at people. She often stares at the computer screen, talking while operating, and glances over when she hears dissatisfaction. It's like watching a mosquito fly.

Liu Jinya shuddered at the thought of this, and looked at the scenery from her balcony when she came back to her senses, and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

It's okay, it's better to make a phone call than to be rejected in person.

After making up her mind, Liu Jinya sorted out what she wanted to say, dialed the number, and listened to the connected voice with bated breath.

"Hello?" After it rang for five seconds, Guan Yaqin answered it.

Liu Jinya cleared her throat, "Manager Guan, I'm Liu Jinya."

"Ah."

"Sorry to bother you so late, I have one thing..."

Guan Yaqin didn't have the patience to listen to her polite chatter, so she directly said for her, "Resign?"

Liu Jinya was stunned for a moment, and replied in embarrassment, "Yes."

"Okay." Guan Yaqin was even able to tell the follow-up arrangements, "Let Xiao Cao take care of the assistant job. You use up your annual leave and take care of the work you can do at home, and Assistant Wei will do the rest."

This is a little different from what I imagined, Liu Jinya asked weakly, "Assistant Wei is..."

"My former assistant was transferred from the N city branch."

"Oh." Liu Jinya agreed, "I'm sorry to trouble you."

Guan Yaqin didn't say anything polite, but asked the main points, "The annual leave is five days, can you handle your personal affairs well?"

Liu Jinya quickly assured, "Yes."

"Okay, then you will go back to the company to make up the annual leave application, and do the final handover work."

The matter that has been entangled for so long was settled in a few words. Liu Jinya is unimaginable, but also very grateful for Guan Yaqin's care. She couldn't help but thank you, "Manager Guan, thank you, I..."

Guan Yaqin's response was a few keystrokes and a cold question, "Is there anything else?"

"..." Liu Jinya laughed dryly, "No more, you should be busy."

Guan Yaqin didn't even say goodbye, and ended the call without saying a word.

Holding the mobile phone, Liu Jinya stood stupidly feeling the bleak wind blowing from the window.

Why did she feel that Guan Yaqin had long expected her to leave?

Liu Jinya was passive from the beginning to the end, as if her resignation had become Guan Yaqin's arrangement, and all kinds of hesitation and determination before making the phone call became a sarcastic joke.She was inexplicably lost, put down her phone, and planned to go to the kitchen to find Baby Zhong for comfort.

Zhong Yuxiao was meditating on the boiled quick-frozen dumplings, and when she heard her footsteps, she turned around guiltily, opened her arms and raised a smiling face, "Hug."

This is exactly what Liu Jinya meant.

She walked over, hugged Zhong Baobao, and whispered, "I told you about my resignation."

"Guan Yaqin doesn't approve?"

"No, she seems to have expected it a long time ago, and everything has been arranged." Liu Jinya sighed leisurely, "Did she always expect me to leave..."

Zhong Yuxiao patted her head, "No, she just maintains the work order of the finance department."

"I know." Liu Jinya said sullenly, "I just feel that resignation has become dismissal, so shameless..."

Zhong Yuxiao couldn't hold back any longer, and said in a low voice, "They all have to leave, what do you want to save face for?"

The words were blunt and not nice, but the tone was weak and pitiful. Liu Jinya burst into a smile, knowing that it would be too embarrassing for Zhong Baobao to comfort herself with something she didn't understand, so she continued to ask for comfort without losing her temper, and let go of her arms She squeezed her face, "Well, that's right~"

Zhong Yuxiao was afraid that she would get angry at first, but she felt relieved when she saw this, and the shallow dimples when she smiled were exactly where she pinched.

Liu Jinya always felt that it was pinched by herself, and kissed on tiptoe.

Then she saw a pot of rotten dumplings hidden behind.

"What's going on here." Liu Jinya was shocked, "How long have you been cooking?"

Zhong Yuxiao coughed lightly, "This brand of dumplings is not good."

"Hey." Liu Jinya returned the original words, "It's all going to be thrown away, so what's the point of saving face?"

"Oh, I'll cook another pot." Seeing that it was impossible to fool around, Zhong Yu picked up the pot to pour it out.

Liu Jinya weighed the remaining frozen dumplings. For the sake of dinner, she didn't dare to let Zhong Yuxiao toss it any longer, "I'll cook it, you go..."

Zhong Yuxiao interrupted her, "No, I'll try again."

"But……"

When they were competing for a bag of dumplings, Zhong Yuxiao's mobile phone rang in his pocket. He took it out to look at the caller ID, and let go of his fingertips holding the packaging bag, "I have something to do, you can cook it."

Thinking it was business, Liu Jinya nodded, remembering that there was still some seaweed in the dining cabinet, turned to open the cabinet, and caught a glimpse of a strange thing from the corner of her eye: Zhong Yuxiao was holding the phone and didn't answer it, and she didn't raise her hand when she reached the corridor, but her pace quickened , as if he was in a hurry to pick it up and it was inconvenient for her to hear it.

-

When Zhong Yuxiao saw the caller ID, he almost couldn't help frowning.

The word "Mom" suddenly appeared on the screen.

After she was photographed by the reporter, she was ready to call at home, but she never thought it would be so soon—this incident was very sudden, and neither father nor mother liked the feeling of having their plans disrupted.Suppressing the news from the media is a trivial matter. According to her thinking, even if mom and dad find out, they will just sneer and finish the matter at hand first, and talk to her in detail later.

For a moment, Zhong Yuxiao had a reasonable doubt—the media couldn't suppress it anymore.

She didn't want Liu Jinya to hear any bad news, so she walked quickly to the study and closed the door before answering the phone, "Hello?"

Mom's voice was calm, "Xiaoxiao, what are you doing?"

"Ready to eat, have you eaten yet?" Zhong Yu knows that she needs to ask for help from others, and even if she is not close to her mother as an adult, she still knows how to be obedient and considerate.

"I've eaten." Mom answered three simple words, not intending to gossip with her, and went straight to the point, "In the afternoon, someone from the newspaper office called your father."

Zhong Yuxiao had expected it a long time ago, and he was a little more cautious in his words, "Sorry, I was too anxious today, so the reporter caught it."

Mom knew her well, and she didn't like this, "You did it on purpose."

"..." Zhong Yuxiao sighed, and gave in as planned, "Mom, can I ask you for a favor this time?"

There was really nothing she could do.

Xu Rongyuan is considered a respectable person in the local area, with too many eyes staring at him, it is impossible for such a big incident to end well.The Xu family was unwilling to allow their son to be charged with intentional homicide, and tried their best to turn this into a negligence. They stared at Liu Jinya in the middle, one for revenge, and the other for wanting to use Liu Jinya to make a supercilious look The story of the wolf draws everyone's attention away from Xu Rongyuan's murder itself, and minimizes the pressure of public opinion.

Such a move is very reasonable and effective. Xu Rongyuan is destined to be unable to escape the punishment. People who watch the theater are more keen to dig out the story behind it and find something to talk about after dinner.

People from the media came here suddenly after hearing the news today, and they must have been instructed by someone. Even if they couldn't take pictures, they could still seize the hot spots and make up a story.

There are so many things about Liu Jinya that can make a fuss. When I was in college, I let my classmates see the luxury car pick-up. After graduation, I married Xu Rongyuan directly. After the divorce, I got a house that I might never be able to afford with my own ability. How many people imagined, being intercepted by loan sharks at the gate of the community, suing his biological father to court, being attacked by dirty and excessive language at work and afraid to come forward...

The reporter doesn't even need to write, but by listing all the past, Liu Jinya can be splashed with dirty water that cannot be wiped off by people's malicious associations.

Zhong Yuxiao knew all of this, but he couldn't stop it with his own strength.

What does she have?The money cannot be compared with the entire Xu family, not to mention the power, she is just a person working in her own company, everything depends on her father's face, and she can't reach outside the company.

Zhong Yuxiao remembered that when she moved out of the house as soon as she graduated, she said a very arrogant sentence, "I don't need your help."

She thought she was doing well.

Until today, she found that she couldn't help Liu Jinya at all. Under the current situation, her most useful ability was to be born as a father's daughter.

The independence announced at graduation and the hard work made after many years of work are nothing but a joke.

After the meeting, Zhong Yuxiao allowed herself to be sad for 5 minutes in the office, calmed down, asked the driver to drive downstairs to Z company, stood in front to protect Liu Jinya, and looked indifferently at the reporters who were excited to take pictures.

They dare to shoot, does the editor-in-chief dare to post it?

Zhong Yuxiao purposely approached Liu Jinya with her face. The reporter would take her with her no matter how she took pictures, and send it to the editor-in-chief. The editor-in-chief who knows the way or has a relationship will see her father's face and stop following this news, and considerately inform Colleagues, if the inexperienced and inexperienced small media dare to put it indiscriminately, someone from the Zhong family will negotiate until the news is suppressed.

Sure enough, the family soon heard the news.

Fortunately for Zhong Yuxiao, it was her mother who called, not her father.

The relationship between their father and daughter dropped to a freezing point after they were not accommodated in the fever interview. Zhong Yu said on a face that he didn't care. Seeing the friends around him with the love and indulgence of their parents, he would always be a little envious.

Yin Xinchang went to work in the company mainly because her parents didn't want her to play crazy and turned upside down day and night. Feng Weize had a new idea every year. The companies and stores that messed up can't be counted on one hand. The family doesn't say anything to clean up the mess. Still squeamish and clingy, the whole family was heartbroken and tried to find a good man to take care of Yunyun for the rest of her life.

As for her family, it's just that her father doesn't give special treatment. He's busy discussing business, and taking the time to finish talking to her, he doesn't even care about "Is the fever gone?"

In contrast, my mother is considered gentle, and she took on the responsibility of accompanying her when she was a child. She is not a doting child, she still cares about what she should care about, and only speaks in a cold voice when she makes a mistake.

Like now.

"Help?" Mom said sarcastically, "You just let the reporter take pictures, can we not help?"

Zhong Yuxiao pursed her lips and called softly, "Mom."

"Xiaoxiao, I know the relationship between you and that woman, and I can understand and accept homosexuality." Mom didn't respond to her coquetry, and her tone was even harsher, "But this person is not a good choice, he will only give you love." cause trouble."

Hearing that her mother directly labeled Liu Jinya as "not good", Zhong Yuxiao felt unhappy, and retorted impulsively, "You haven't seen Jinya, let alone us together, why do you say that. "

Being choked up by her, my mother laughed, "Xiaoxiao, is this your attitude when you ask us for help?"

Zhong Yuxiao was discouraged all of a sudden.

They each held their mobile phones in silence, letting the call time pass by.

"Xiaoxiao, let's eat."

Suddenly Liu Jinya's voice came from outside the door. Zhong Yuxiao was afraid that the phone call would be found out, so she couldn't care less about begging so much, "Mom, please, just this one time, help us."

These words were too incompatible with her temperament, she squeezed the phone tightly with one hand, and clenched her fist with the other, pinching her fingertips into her palm hard, the pain was so numb.

After she said such soft words, there was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, and a helpless sigh came from the other end of the phone.

"Okay." Mom agreed, "You go to eat, don't let the stomach hurt again."

Zhong Yuxiao finally breathed a sigh of relief, and returned to the humble appearance when he first entered the workplace when he was helping others, and couldn't help but thank him, "Thank you."

Mom listened quietly, and didn't snort until she was tired and out of breath, "What's the matter?"

Zhong Yuxiao stared at the ring on her hand without answering.

"Keep being selfish," Mom said at the end, "We owe you."

With a beep, the call ended and the timer stopped abruptly.

Zhong Yuxiao was unable to close her eyes.

She finally won the pampering of her parents.

-

While eating a dumpling, Liu Jinya felt the eyes of the other side sweep over her frequently, but when she was about to look over, she only saw a Zhong Baobao who was concentrating on eating.Again and again, she couldn't take it any longer, she just sat down with the bowl, "Xiaoxiao~"

Zhong Yuxiao ignored her.

Not knowing how to start a conversation, Liu Jinya saw that Zhong Yuxiao's bowl was a little empty, and sent her untouched fried egg over.

Zhong Yuxiao stared at the extra fried egg in the bowl for a moment, then asked softly, "Don't you like it?"

"Yeah." Liu Jinya felt nervous when she heard Zhong Yuxiao's weak voice, "Eat more."

Zhong Yuxiao let out an "oh", and silently lowered her head to eat.

Seeing Zhong Baobao frowning, Liu Jinya certainly didn't think that she was worrying about the half-pack of dumplings left. Thinking about the phone call Zhong Yuxiao answered before eating, she faintly noticed something was wrong, "Who was the person who called just now?"

Zhong Yuxiao took a sip of soup to moisten her throat, and then said in a clear and loud voice: "My mother."

Liu Jinya was dumbfounded, "Your mother?"

"Hmm." Zhong Yuxiao took a bite of the fried egg, then changed the subject casually, "It's a bit salty."

Of course, he was not willing to just talk about fried eggs like this, Liu Jinya asked anxiously, "What is Auntie calling?"

Zhong Yuxiao didn't answer, and slowly chewed the food in his mouth.

"Forget it, you can eat first." Liu Jinya felt that it was not good to talk while eating, and planned to wait for Zhong Yuxiao to eat before speaking properly, and she also lowered her head and swallowed the dumplings whole, and almost burned her mouth when she finally filled the bowl with soup.

Zhong Yuxiao got up and poured her a glass of water.

"Thank you." Liu Jinya couldn't bear it anymore, and grabbed Zhong Yuxiao who was about to return to her seat, "What did Auntie call and say just now?"

Zhong Yuxiao frowned, "You don't know her, why do you care so much?"

"Because that's your mother!" Liu Jinya looked at Zhong Yuxiao's expressionless face, and felt the urge to knead the dough until it turned red, "And you became very strange after answering the phone, of course I have to care. "

Zhong Yuxiao shook his head disapprovingly, "I haven't become weird."

"Well, no," Liu Jinya was particularly anxious, "Hurry up, don't say that I'm going to sleep in the second bedroom tonight."

This trick was quite effective. Zhong Yuxiao saw that she had eaten up all the food in the bowl, put down her chopsticks and wiped her mouth, and said slowly, "My mother knew that I went back to Company Z today, so she asked a few more questions."

Liu Jinya's heart rose, "And then?"

"No then."

Liu Jinya was taken aback, "How is it possible, doesn't she find it strange..."

"She already knew about our relationship."

"A long time ago?" Liu Jinya felt flustered, "When? Did she object?"

Zhong Yuxiao shook his head.

Liu Jinya couldn't see that Zhong Yuxiao was a little happy, but she had an intuition that there was something inside, and asked: "Really?"

Zhong Yuxiao changed to a more affirmative statement, nodded solemnly, and the words were clear, "Really."

Liu Jinya stared at Zhong Yuxiao for a while, without asking any more questions, poured the soup in the pot on the slightly cold dumplings in Zhong Yuxiao's bowl and scalded them, "Eat first, we'll talk about it later."

"Yeah." Zhong Yuxiao lowered her head and continued to eat, without turning her head to look at her again.

Liu Jinya looked at Zhong Yuxiao, and knew in her heart that they had nothing to say after dinner.

The attitude of Zhong Yuxiao's family is easy to guess.

What is her condition now?About to lose her job, changing careers at the beginning stage, her mother's legs and feet are inflexible due to old injuries, her father was killed by her ex-husband, and her ex-husband is waiting to be sentenced in the detention center... Even if all the bad things don't happen, with her unremarkable appearance, education and ability, she will go to the clock. Standing by Yu Xiao's side is not enough to see.

Zhong Yuxiao has her own ideas and will not compromise easily. When the Zhong family heard that the two of them were together, they were probably dissatisfied and helpless.

The inferiority complex in Liu Jinya's heart began to cause trouble again, but she can no longer be a person who hides in bed and cries when encountering difficulties, waiting for her girlfriend to coax her to turn the page.

She is eager to find a shining point in herself that can be recognized by others.

Liu Jinya thinks about it, that is to say, calligraphy and painting have received the most recognition.If she succeeds in investment, makes a name for herself, has money and fame, Zhong Yuxiao's parents may change her attitude when they see her.

Thinking of this, Liu Jinya hoped to study the emerging trading mode of calligraphy and painting quickly, staring at the bowl of dumplings that Zhong Yuxiao hadn't finished eating.Zhong Yuxiao didn't understand why she was acting like this all of a sudden, and frowned, inexplicably understood her firm gaze, and finished eating faster.

The dishes were all empty, so Liu Jinya picked them up and ran to the kitchen, not letting Baby Zhong intervene.

Zhong Yuxiao followed up, "What's wrong with you."

Liu Jinya thought about sharpening the knife and not mistakenly chopping firewood, so she turned her head and asked Zhong Yuxiao, "What kind of person does your mother like?"

Zhong Yuxiao didn't speak, and reached out to grab the dishcloth for help.

However, silence is also a statement.

Liu Jinya understood that the road was long and difficult to walk, so she held back her sighs and turned on the faucet to rinse the dishes first.

"Jinya, you don't have to try to please my parents." Zhong Yuxiao reached out to help, and said softly, "They will find out that you are good."

These words were too gentle, Liu Jinya turned her head to look, and saw Zhong Yuxiao's beautiful smile, her heart moved, and she stepped forward to press a light kiss on the corner of her lips.

Zhong Yu knew that she had never gotten close to her actively, so she was startled, the small bowl in her hand slipped down, and hit the sink with a bang, making a muffled sound.

"Hmph." Liu Jinya felt embarrassed when she took the initiative to receive such a response. She bit her lip and lowered her head to push Zhong Yuxiao away. She squeezed to the sink and carefully washed the bowl that was almost broken.

Although Zhong Yuxiao gave up the position of washing dishes, she refused to leave. After wiping her hands, she hugged her from behind, sticky.

With such a baby hanging on its shoulders, Liu Jinya stretched her arms to reach the cupboard with difficulty when putting a bowl, and couldn't stand it anymore, "Xiaoxiao!"

Zhong Yuxiao didn't let go, and slowly moved towards the cupboard with her arms around her.

There was a person behind her who was inconvenient to move. With such a move, Liu Jinya had to watch the ground carefully so as not to step on Baby Zhong. With a helpless smile, she put the dishes and chopsticks away and patted the arm wrapped around her waist, "Let go."

Zhong Yuxiao let it go for a while, and when she turned around, she hugged her again.

"What are you doing?" Liu Jinya curled up in her arms and mumbled sullenly.

Zhong Yuxiao rubbed against her and murmured, "Don't be afraid."

Of course Liu Jinya knew that she was talking about Zhong Yuxiao's parents, and sighed softly, "I will try my best to make them like me."

"They have to like you."

The words were affirmative, showing a little naivety of "I don't care, I just want to be like this", Liu Jinya snickered, thinking about playing with Zhong Baobao, and asked in a kindergarten teacher's tone of coaxing children, "Why?"

Zhong Yuxiao hugged her even tighter.

"Because I can't live without you."

-

After taking her annual leave, Liu Jinya woke up on time at 7 o'clock in the morning, touched the empty and cold side of the bed, glanced around and found that there was no one in the room, she didn't care about the quilt, and simply got up quickly.

She went to take off her nightgown and change her clothes first, and when she came back to fold the quilt, she shook her hand and revealed her purple underwear, blushing, and quickly grabbed it to wash it.After everything was settled, she splashed water on her face to wash her face, and went to find Baby Zhong when her face was no longer so hot.

In the kitchen, Zhong Yuxiao was still full of love for cooking, holding up a spoon, staring at the contents of the pot in thought.

"Morning." Liu Jinya walked over and gave a soft good morning kiss, feeling very sweet, when she saw the stuff in the pot turning black, "Is this rice or porridge."

Zhong Yuxiao dared to face mistakes, "There is less water, let's make do with it."

"Okay." Liu Jinya helped bring it to the table, and she still wanted to cry when she saw the thick porridge, "Why don't you use an automatic pot?"

"It's been too long." Zhong Yuxiao returned with the bowls and chopsticks.

Liu Jinya took the bowl and struggled to shake off the porridge stuck to the spoon.

Zhong Yuxiao sat down and stared at her with her hands on her chin, "Where are you going today?"

"I want to go home to see my mother." Liu Jinya made a plan, "Can you send me there while you are at work?"

Zhong Yuxiao let out a "hmm" and took a bite of the hot bread.

Liu Jinya watched Zhong Baobao eating obediently, and couldn't help showing a mysterious aunt's smile, helping to pick up pickles and handing out jam, but the breakfast in front of her didn't move much.

"Don't take care of me like this." Zhong Yuxiao said, "I'm not a child."

Liu Jinya said yes, but her thoughts drifted away from the "children". After calculating the date, she reminded, "Is it time for you to go home and see your parents?"

Based on her observations after she moved in, Zhong Yuxiao would go home regularly for a meal, and the frequency was not high. She would pick a suitable time to go back in half a month, and she would move back or cancel when she was particularly busy. Night is 12 o'clock on a day close to the Spring Festival. The usual practice is to pick a Friday, Saturday or Sunday night, go back after work, and return after 9 o'clock. It is really a meal and then run.

Liu Jinya doesn't like to intervene in other people's way of getting along, but Zhong Yuxiao canceled once in the first half of the month because she accompanied her to the art exhibition, and her attitude became strange after answering a call from her mother last night. There must be something awkward with the family, so it's better to go back earlier and make it clear.

For her persuasion, Zhong Yuxiao concentrated on chewing the bread without any response.

"Xiaoxiao?" Liu Jinya was worried that Zhong Yuxiao's family would become discordant because of her, so she persuaded softly, "No matter how busy you are at work, you should go home and see your parents."

"Yeah." Zhong Yuxiao was inconvenient to speak while eating, so she answered her with a nasal voice perfunctorily.

Liu Jinya knew at a glance that Zhong Yuxiao didn't intend to go home, and she couldn't find an answer after trying to guess, so she simply asked, "Did you quarrel with your uncle or aunt?"

Zhong Yuxiao shook her head, swallowed the food in her mouth and added, "They're not free."

"what?"

"They're not free today."

Liu Jinya nodded in doubt.

"Eat quickly." Zhong Yuxiao glanced at the time, "I have to go to the company early."

In order to catch a free ride, Liu Jinya could only eat breakfast hard, and did not ask a few more questions.She ate later, Zhong Yuxiao had finished her breakfast, and instead of accompanying her as usual, she went into the room to pack her things, just in time to come out after she finished washing the dishes, as if pinching a little,

Liu Jinya deeply realized that she had said the wrong thing.

When it was time to go out, Zhong Yuxiao didn't speak when she went downstairs, and her pace was a little faster. Liu Jinya went up brazenly and walked arm in arm. It was a bit difficult at first, but later she found that Zhong Yuxiao was obviously full of steps, secretly thankful.

"My dad will come to the company today. We must meet." Zhong Yuxiao didn't answer her question directly until he got in the car.

Liu Jinya didn't dare to say more, she nodded silently.

"I might have a little chat with him and go home later." Zhong Yuxiao said softly, "You can have a meal with auntie and the others at home, don't wait for me."

Speaking of this, Liu Jinya has to believe it if she doesn't believe it.

The driver started the car and drove out. Zhong Yuxiao was busy with her mobile phone. Liu Jinya was not so talkative and stared out the window in a daze.From Zhong Yuxiao's house to her house, she must pass by the company. Liu Jinya frowned when she saw the familiar door of the building. When she looked back, she found that there was no sign of the reporter. good mood.

The journey was not far away. Liu Jinya got off the car at the place and waved to Zhong Yuxiao, "See you tonight."

Zhong Yuxiao finally put down the phone and smiled at her.

Watching the car drive away, Liu Jinya gathered her coat in the slightly cold morning wind, and ran upstairs.

My aunt didn't expect her to come so early, and she was still yawning when she opened the door, "Aren't you going to work today?"

"No." Liu Jinya said, "I'm asking for leave."

My aunt said unintentionally, "You always ask for leave, won't the leader have any objections?"

Just yesterday, when she made a resignation call, Liu Jinya was speechless, and while pushing her aunt inside, she changed the subject, "Where's mom?"

"It seems to be up, you sit down first."

"Shall I make breakfast for you?" Liu Jinya suggested, wanting to go into the kitchen.

The aunt turned her head all of a sudden, grabbed her and said, "No need, my eldest sister is going to the hospital for an examination today."

"That's it." Liu Jinya regretted not calling her mother beforehand.

Seeing this, my aunt misunderstood that she didn't want to go to the hospital, and said considerately, "Are you waiting for us at home?"

Mom just left the room at this time, walked slowly while leaning on the wall, and reminded softly, "I still have to go to the traffic police brigade."

"What to do?"

"Your father's matter is considered a traffic accident." Mom sighed, "Actually, we went there after we heard the news. The time is too tight, and many procedures have not been completed. I have been suffering from headaches for the past two days."

Liu Jinya had never dealt with such a thing, but felt that as a child, she couldn't do nothing, so she thought for a moment and said, "Shall I take a taxi and go together?"

She felt that if she didn't do anything, it would be good to find a good car and pick it up at regular intervals. Auntie and mother obviously didn't think it was a good idea. What to do, it's not an auspicious place, if you can't go, don't go."

"But……"

The aunt said again, "I rented a car, it's very convenient to take my eldest sister there."

"That's right. If you ask for leave, you should take a good rest." Mom said considerately, "Are you sleepy after getting up so early? Do you want to go in and sleep for a while?"

Liu Jinya didn't speak, feeling depressed uncontrollably.

It's normal for Zhong Yuxiao to talk too much when it's not his turn. Even couples should have some private space with each other, not to mention the fact that Zhong's family is involved, so they can't tell for a while.

But when she went home, she heard her aunt complaining too early when she entered the door. She wanted to do something within her power but had no place to intervene. My aunt and mother never took her into consideration when making plans.

Liu Jinya realized that she had already become a guest.

"Okay." Liu Jinya simply gave up struggling and sat on the sofa sulking.

Mom saw that she was in a bad mood, so she winked at my aunt, thinking that after so long, how could my aunt not understand, and left the living room for their mother and daughter to talk.

"Xiaoya, why are you here suddenly today?" Mom sat beside her and asked softly.

Liu Jinya thought about resigning sooner or later, sighed and confessed, "I am going to resign and work in an auction house."

"Alright." Mom smiled, "Aren't you interested in this?"

Liu Jinya nodded, looking surprised at her mother's peaceful expression, but also afraid that her mother would pretend to be strong, "Mom, if you don't want to go through the formalities, leave it to me."

"No need." Mom patted her head, "It's not difficult, just come with my aunt."

"Go to multiple cares together?"

Seeing her persistence, mother told the truth helplessly, "There are news about Xu Rongyuan everywhere, so it's not convenient for you to come forward?"

Unexpectedly, her mother was very clear, Liu Jinya was distressed, and asked in a low voice with little confidence, "Is it not convenient for you?"

"I'm fine," my mother didn't want to see her frown, and deliberately said in a relaxed way, "I'm old and hurt, who dares to bother me? Your aunt said, it really can't be done, I just lie on the ground to touch Ci, make sure that those who come to ask stay away.”

Liu Jinya smiled to save face.

"Xiaoya, is there something bothering you?" Mother could naturally see her forced smile.

"Hmm..." Liu Jinya hesitated for a while, feeling that she couldn't ask her mother and aunt to be honest and kept it hidden by herself, and said for a while, "Xiaoxiao's family doesn't seem to like me."

Mom was not surprised, "It's such a big mess, her family should have heard about it."

"Maybe." Liu Jinya couldn't help her forehead, "Xiaoxiao is in a bad mood, I dare not ask, but I can guess that her family's rejection is not because of my gender, but because I am not good enough for Xiaoxiao. "

Mom was anxious, "Xiaoya, you can't be so depressed."

"Mom, I know what to do." Liu Jinya said in her heart, "Now that I don't deserve it, I will try my best to make myself better. I resign to make a breakthrough, and I won't give up easily."

Mom felt relieved, "Okay, you don't have to worry about me, just take care of yourself."

Liu Jinya disagreed, "The whole family should help each other."

"There is no need for a divorce, everything is easier than before." Mom told her about the plan, "I have submitted my retirement application. The situation is special, and I can get approval soon. I don't have to worry about selling the house. The flat is spacious, and many people ask about it. I should be able to get rid of it soon. With the money, I won’t have any trouble getting to Q City, and after I’ve been resettled and raised for a period of time, my body will recover, and my life will be better than it is now.”

Liu Jinya had never seen her mother's eyes shine when she talked about it, so she couldn't help raising the corners of her mouth.

They didn't talk for long, and the aunt came out to see that the appointment time was approaching, and urged her mother to go out.

Before leaving, mother took a look at Liu Jinya and said, "There are eggs and tomatoes in the refrigerator..."

"Mom, I can order takeaway now." Liu Jinya said with a smile, "And I'm not a celebrity who can be recognized everywhere I go, so it won't be a problem to go out and buy something."

Mom said yes, and left with my aunt.

Liu Jinya sent it to the elevator, went home and sat down for a while, then turned on the TV and filled the empty room with the sound of the morning news.She was looking casually, but she actually saw what she wanted to know. The results of the international awards that Lin Zaixia participated in were announced, and the selected paintings won the gold medals.

What she bought was another painting. Although it was worth less than the award-winning work, it would also increase in value as the author Lin Zaishia's worth increased.

The work that she tried to invest in for the first time was a small success. Liu Jinya was very excited and sent a message to Yin Xinchang to announce the good news.

Yin Xinchang called directly, "Congratulations!"

Liu Jinya was surprised, "Aren't you going to work today?"

"Ask for leave." Yin Xinchang said, "I ate too much and drank too much at the banquet last time, my stomach couldn't take it."

Liu Jinya felt guilty.

Most of Mr. Kang's banquets are professionals. Yin Xinchang lacks knowledge in calligraphy and painting but can't stay idle. He always tries to join the discussion.It's cute to make a mistake once or twice, and it's shameful to make a mistake repeatedly. If Zhong Yuxiao is not around, Liu Jinya can't just tell Yin Xinchang to shut up, and use the reason of recommending food to stop her mouth.

Yin Xinchang is very face-saving, and she eats whatever she gives, and now she has an upset stomach. Strictly speaking, it is her fault.

"By the way, you're not at work right now." Yin Xinchang asked.

"Yeah." Liu Jinya thought it was the voice of the news broadcast that Yin Xinchang guessed, and admitted without doubt, "What's the matter?"

"Let's meet and celebrate."

"Okay, where will I see you?"

"Just..." Yin Xinchang thought for a while, "Gu Songxuan."

Liu Jinya was quite surprised that Yin Xinchang would choose there.

Gusongxuan, as the name suggests, has a signboard of a thousand-year-old pine tree. It is a quiet leisure place surrounded by wonders. The decoration is elegant and the tea is a must.She went there with her ex-mother-in-law before, and she really admired the owner's elaborate design and felt that it was quiet and beautiful, but she had to admit that the atmosphere and guests there were too dull, which was more in line with the preferences of middle-aged and elderly people.

She likes to be quiet and can accept it, but Yin Xinchang can't hold back for a few seconds and chooses that place?

Feeling something was wrong, Liu Jinya agreed, and made an appointment to go out in a hurry, and went back to the room to search for an inconvenient but beautiful dress in the closet, and put on a good makeup.

She was right.

Yin Xinchang is not alone.
