She eagerly pushed her way through the crowd and squeezed forward.

I saw a middle-aged woman sitting on the ground crying and throwing a tantrum. "I know you hate me, and I know it's hard to be a stepmother. No matter what I do, you will misunderstand me. But you can blame me, but no matter what, you can't control your biological father."

"It's not easy for your dad to raise you alone, so he thought of finding a companion, someone to take care of you. But why are you so childish? You ran away as soon as you became an adult and never came home again. You're so cruel!"

Every word was the result of her own hard work, as if everything was just Tian Tian's unreasonable behavior, and the onlookers agreed with her.

Tian Tian was no longer old enough to be fooled. Looking at her sweet but bitter stepmother, she coldly questioned, "I couldn't eat enough or wear warm clothes in that house. I had endless housework to do every day. Even if I got into university, I couldn't go. Can't I run away and find a way to make a living for myself?"

Tian Tian isn't afraid at all. They're just trying to use public opinion to force her to pay her family back? Then let's tear each other apart. No one should pretend to be a good person!

Xu Meiru was stunned. She didn't expect that Tian Tian would dare to refute her and even expose her own wounds.

"Yes, yes, we are sorry for you. If we had worked harder and earned more money, we wouldn't have let you live such a hard life. Now you don't even want to go home."

These words of weakness directly labeled Tian Tian as an ungrateful person who despises the poor and loves the rich.

Fortunately, Tian Tian had worked outside for many years and immediately realized what was going on. She exposed him directly, "Why are you pretending? Your own son has no worries about food and clothing, and he does nothing all day long, just like an old man. His game console is enough to pay for my tuition!"

Xu Meiru was experienced and didn't panic even when she was exposed. She started to defend herself, "I know this is unfair to you and your sister, but the money he used was the child support given by his father. I can't..."

Xu Meiru said as she pushed the man standing next to her. Tian Tian's biological father, Tian Shaokang, got the hint and started to explain: "Yes, it's me who has no ability. If I could make a lot of money, you could live the same life as your brother."

Tian Tian's face turned cold when she heard his words. She had heard these words before and believed them before.

It wasn't until one night when she got up to go to the bathroom and passed by their room that she heard Xu Meiru begging Tian Shaokang to take out some of his salary to buy shoes for his son. Only then did she realize the truth.

Tian Tian snorted coldly, "The money his biological father gave him? How did he give it to him? Let me see the remittance slip."

Xu Meiru's face lit up, and she followed her words and told her the ultimate goal, "How can I carry this with me? You'll know when you get home."

Ye Ke felt something was wrong. Xu Meiru's behavior was different from what she expected. At first, she thought Xu Meiru was here to ask Tian Tian for money, but now she saw that she was here purely for Tian Tian!

Ye Ke quickly walked up to Tian Tian, ​​turned his back to Xu Meihe and Tian Shaokang, and scolded them coldly, "What's going on? Why are you all standing here without working? Be careful or I'll dock your wages!"

Tian Tian was frightened by Ye Ke's cold face at first, but then she noticed Ye Ke's eyes blinking constantly, and she suddenly reacted and began to bow and apologize.

"Sorry, boss. We'll get to work right away."

Tian Tian waved her hand, signaling her colleagues who came out to help to go back, while she stayed with Ye Ke.

Xu Meiru finally lost her composure. Wasn't Tian Tian the store manager? How did another boss appear?

Seeing Ye Ke's bad temper and difficult-to-deal-with image, Xu Meiru asked cautiously, "Are you the owner of this store? And who is Tian Tian?"

"Her? She's just an employee I hired." Ye Ke responded coldly and rolled his eyes, showing his arrogance to the fullest.

"I'm warning you, no matter who you are, you can't harass my employees. If you ruin the business of our store, I will have to pay you for it!" Ye Ke said with the look of a greedy landlord.

This just fit Xu Meiru's stereotype of an unscrupulous boss, so she believed it immediately.

But her goal had not been achieved yet, so she was unwilling to give up. She had to smile at Ye Ke ingratiatingly: "Boss, we are not here to harass Tian Tian, ​​we are here to take her home. You don't know, Tian Tian is a child..."

"I don't care what you're doing here!" Ye Ke interrupted impatiently, "Just don't affect my business."

Xu Meiru was overjoyed, automatically understanding that Ye Ke agreed, and she kept praising him: "Boss, you are so considerate! Then our Tian Tian will quit! I'll take her home right now!"

After saying that, he immediately took Tian Tian's hand and wanted to walk out. Tian Tian was naturally unwilling, but she didn't know what Ye Ke wanted to do, so she had to close her mouth and struggle hard.

Ye Ke brushed away Xu Meiru's hand that was holding Tian Tian's, soothed Tian Tian with his eyes, then turned around and showed the smile of a black-hearted capitalist.

"Tian Tian signed an employment contract with me. I can't even ask for leave casually. If you want to take her away, you have to pay the penalty!"

Do I have to pay liquidated damages? Xu Meiru had never heard of this before, and her suspicious eyes immediately shifted between Ye Ke and Tian Tian.

Could it be that these two little girls were acting together to fool her?

Ye Ke showed no guilt at all and continued to act superior. "What? Do you think my family is doing charity by training a pastry chef? You can just leave after you finish your training?"

After hearing this, Xu Meiru understood and immediately felt that it made sense.

"Boss, this penalty is too little?" Xu Meiru asked gritting her teeth. If there was still profit to be made, she would pay it.

Tian Tian's face froze, and she tightened her grip on Ye Ke's hand. She didn't expect that Xu Meiru, who always loved money, would rather pay her money than not take her back.

She suddenly felt a chill in her heart. If Ye Ke had not stood up just now, would she have been coaxed back by Xu Meiru to look at the so-called remittance slip?

And then? What will happen to her?
