When they met again, the boss' eyes turned red, kissed her and said sweet words to her

"Jing Mo, have you met me these past two days... I wanted to ask if we could have dinner together tonight?"

"No, I have to go on a business trip tomorrow."

Shen Wei immediately clenched her phone, with surprise in her eyes. It was good to be on a business trip. If she went on a business trip to another place, she wouldn't meet Xu Nanyin.

"Do you have anything else?"

Shen Wei said in a gentle and caring tone, "No, then you must take care of yourself on your business trip and pay attention to weather changes..."

"Are you free today?" Pei Jingmo interrupted her meaningless words.

Shen Wei paused and heard the man's magnetic and cold voice coming casually: "If you think the phone bill is too high, you can donate it." After that, he hung up the phone.

Looking at the black screen of her phone, Shen Wei's eyes flashed with a hint of worry. If Jing Mo knew what she had done to Xu Nanyin four years ago, she couldn't bear to think...

After a day of wandering, I returned to the old house where Xu Nanyin and her grandmother lived. Four years had passed, and the once cozy little room was now covered in dust.

There was a photo hanging on one wall, surrounded by Xu Nanyin's award certificates from elementary school to high school. The photo showed a young couple holding a delicate baby.

"These are my parents."

Xu Nanyin took the photo down, wiped the dust off, and was about to put it in her bag when Lin Sitian took it away. "Uncle, your face is like a sculpture, a god! He's even more handsome than the big stars of that era!"

Xu Nanyin smiled and said, "My mom told me that there was a talent scout who wanted my dad to be a movie star."

My father refused, with the reason being: what the country lacked in their time was not movie stars, but talents. He was determined to become a teacher, educating people and cultivating generations of people who would be useful to society.

But her father died in a car accident after only teaching for five years. Xu Nanyin was not even one year old that year.

My mother said my father was the kindest and best person in the world. He would secretly pay tuition for poor students and give every child the utmost care and encouragement, regardless of their academic performance. On the day of the car accident, he was rushing to the hospital to do a bone marrow match for a student with leukemia...

My grandmother told me that after my father passed away, my mother had a mental breakdown and she thought she would not survive. But six months later, my mother picked herself up again, went back to work, and took good care of little Nanyin.

Her mother would hold her to sleep every night and tell her stories about her father over and over again.

Whenever she talked about Dad, Mom's eyes sparkled with pride. She said Yinyin was Dad's most beloved child and hoped she would thrive. Together, they would smell the flowers, taste the delicacies, and explore the beautiful countryside for Dad.

Mom often wore beautiful dresses, standing in the sun like a blooming sunflower, vibrant and bright. She said Dad loved to see her smile and live a radiant life, saying that Dad would be happy to see her in heaven. But many times, Xiao Nanyin found her mother hiding in her room, crying secretly while holding Dad's photo.

At that time, her mother worked as an accountant in a large company and earned a good salary. Every year, little Nanyin had a beautiful princess dress to wear. Until she was six years old, her mother was harassed by a thug on her way home from get off work. After resisting, she was accidentally killed.

Seeing her mother lying motionless under the white sheet that day, Xiao Nanyin repeatedly whispered to the police officer, "Mom's face is so pale. Is she cold or sick? I really want her to hug me. Why hasn't she woken up yet?"

Some neighbors were talking about my mother's death, saying it was because she was dressed too flashily and beautifully that she was targeted by hooligans.

So Xu Nanyin never dared to wear beautiful skirts again. Her wardrobe was always filled with old gray and black sportswear. This left a deep shadow in her heart, making her sensitive, inferior and full of insecurity.

Lin Sitian's eyes had been reddening from what she'd heard, but she suddenly exploded: "Bullshit! This is simply alarmist! Just because a woman dresses beautifully is never a reason for a beast to commit a crime. I really want to rip their mouths apart!"

"Bao'er, your uncle and aunt are such good people. They love you so much. You just need to be beautiful and live a good life. Only then will they be happy watching you from heaven."

"Hmm~"

Now of course Xu Nanyin can wear whatever she wants, and anyone who dares to say anything about it should give her face.

Suddenly, her eyes fixed on the mobile phone in the corner of the sofa. It was the one Pei Jingmo gave her. She threw it here after she escaped death that night four years ago.

He actually said that he had sent her a lot of messages in the past few years.

Her hands were quicker than her brain, and by the time Xu Nanyin came to her senses, she had already picked up her phone to charge it. However, after charging it for a while, she found that it wouldn't turn on.

Lin Sitian noticed that she looked uneasy and asked, "Do you want to get it repaired?"

"No."

Xu Nanyin threw the phone back into the corner, "God's will..."

"This phone is related to the scumbag, right?"

Xu Nanyin pursed her lips, wanting to say something but feeling uncomfortable inside.

"Uncle and aunt, I hope you get struck by lightning in the sky and kill that damn scumbag and that damn Bai Lian!"

"Sisi, what if my parents were here..."

Would she not be humiliated by being called an "orphan"? Would she not be seen as Pei Jingmo's girlfriend, his "stain"? Would her parents protect her and not let others bully her?

Xu Nanyin's eyes suddenly felt sore and swollen. She wiped the corners of her eyes and gently stroked the faces of her parents in the photo. "It's okay. We will go back to Yuncheng tomorrow."

She would probably rarely come back in the future, and she and Pei Jingmo would no longer have anything to do with each other in this life.

The next day.

Arrived in Yuncheng at three o'clock in the afternoon.

It is a leisurely small city with few cars on the streets, bright sunshine and the fragrance of flowers in the air.

Xu Nanyin took a deep breath, feeling her mood lighten up, but suddenly she heard Lin Sitian angrily yelling, "You damn baldy! I really want to shoot him!"

Lin Sitian works in a cake shop. The boss is nicknamed Baldy and often does weird things that make people very angry.

Xu Nanyin looked at her phone and the WeChat "True Cake Family Group".

Baldy: Dear friends, this month's electricity bill has exceeded a lot again [crying] In order to urge everyone to save electricity, starting from next month, the electricity bill will be shared by everyone [helpless] [cute]

This means employees work for the boss and still have to pay the electricity bill for the store?!

There was no sound in the group.

Baldy: The cake shop is everyone's home. My family members understand my hard work, right? [Poor]

Lin Sitian, who had a bad temper, immediately typed a string of words, but hesitated to delete them.

Xu Nanyin took the phone from her and replied: "Boss is right, the family should pay the electricity bill." [Smile]

In the future, if you are short of money, you can go to the cashier to get it. After all, the family can spend the money they want at home. [Cute]

"puff……"

Lin Sitian laughed loudly, and she could already imagine how green the bald man's face must be at this moment.

Other colleagues sent her private messages: Awesome! Heroine! Sweet girl, awesome!

Lin Sitian felt a little happy but also a little worried, "That baldy guy must hate me."

"It's okay. I sent the message. If Baldy fires you, I'll invest and help you open a cake shop."

"Woo...rich lady!" Lin Sitian hugged her with emotion.

Xu Nanyin is now worth a million, which is a drop in the bucket compared to Pei Jingmo, but it is considered good in Yuncheng.

Four years ago, her life was hanging by a thread when she was rescued by Qin Fang, who adopted her as her adopted daughter and brought her to Yuncheng. A year ago, Qin Fang passed away, leaving her a cheongsam shop: Jinyifang.

Jinyifang is located in the ancient town and occupies an antique wooden building. The decoration of the store is also very elegant, with a wide variety of cheongsams.

Xu Nanyin returned to Jinyifang, and the clerk greeted her: "Sister Yin is back!"

Seeing that there were no customers in the store for the time being, she handed over a box of jujube flower cakes: "I brought them back from Beijing. Let me share them with everyone."

Several shop assistants came over happily, but Jiang Sha looked disgusted: "I went to Beijing and brought everyone this? I don't even have an appetite."

Jiang Sha is the niece of her godmother Qin Fang, but she was only given 10% of the shares of Jinyifang in the will, so she has always regarded Xu Nanyin as a thorn in her side.

Xu Nanyin was not polite at all: "If you don't have an appetite, don't watch it. There is no portion for you anyway."

Jiang Sha was choked and glared at her in frustration.

Xu Nanyin turned away calmly and walked upstairs. In the office, she had just sat down when the girl eating the jujube flower cake came running in.

"Sister Yinyin, you're finally back! Jiang Sha has been clashing with customers for two consecutive days. Although the fights weren't serious, she definitely offended them, and one of them was a VIP customer of ours."

No matter how mean Jiang Sha is, she wouldn't be stupid enough to offend a customer...

Xu Nanyin thought for a moment and had the answer in her mind, "Xiaoyu, I understand. Thank you for keeping an eye on it for me."

Xiaoyu's mouth was stuffed like a hamster. "This jujube flower cake is so delicious!"

Xu Nanyin smiled and took out a small box from her bag. "I guessed you like it, so I brought this just for you."

The little foodie picked up the jujube flower cake and ran away.

Xu Nanyin was just about to check the store's performance over the past two days when Xiaoyu came running back.

"Sister Yinyin, there's one more thing! Our small, 18th-tier city is actually planning to build a resort!"

"Yuncheng has fresh air and beautiful scenery. It's really suitable for vacation."

"Leak, leak, leak! That's not the point!"

Xiaoyu pulled up a Douyin video.

Xu Nanyin glanced around and froze.

In the video, a red carpet was rolled out at Yuncheng Square, a rare sight, and senior municipal officials were present in person to attend the ribbon-cutting welcome ceremony for the resort project.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the investor representative took the stage.

The man was wearing a crisp black suit and his hair was combed back, revealing his handsome and sharp features. His beautiful and captivating fox eyes gestured to the camera, serious, cold and capable, and his strong aura could be felt through the screen.

Who would have thought that this was the person who asked her to help kill an ant yesterday.
