If we swapped lives, I'd be the CEO and you'd take care of the kids.

Zhu Tingyue, who harbored great ambitions, had already forgotten her aspirations from the morning by the time she left work in the evening.

She collapsed in the car, thinking weakly: "The boss's job is inhuman, it's too tiring."

She spent more than two hours in one morning just looking at the documents submitted by various departments.

Although she reads slowly because she is not yet familiar with the specific implementation plans for each task, at least let her go to the toilet!

I didn't drink a drop of water all morning, and I didn't go to the bathroom until lunchtime.

The afternoon was even more tiring. Shen Yingchu would have people report their work directly to her, without giving them any time to breathe.

I was completely at Shen Yingchu's beck and call, and I was the kind of person who actively sought out work to do!

She was only able to catch her breath when the alarm clock rang to signal the end of her workday.

Thank goodness for my foresight in setting my alarm for leaving get off work early; otherwise, she doesn't know when she would have been able to leave the company!

Back at the Shen family home, facing the dark room, she wanted to burst into tears. Today had been so hard. Being tired at the company was one thing, but why was there no one at home?

Shen Yanzhen isn't here, fine, but why isn't Madam Shen here either? Waaah, she wants to go home, she misses her parents!

She drove off again and found a restaurant, intending to treat herself.

After many twists and turns, she arrived at a restaurant that Jiang Wanjun had once recommended to her, which was said to have pretty good food.

He went inside, ordered his favorite dishes, and took out his phone to text Shen Yanqiu asking for money.

She said that Shen Yanqiu had no self-awareness at all; he had spent all her money and didn't even transfer any to her. He was incredibly stingy! What a miser!

After scolding Shen Yanqiu, she then lamented how hard she worked, as evidenced by the battery level of her phone!

Look, I still have 80% battery left! I'm so awesome!

Lost in her own world, Zhu Tingyue didn't notice the two figures approaching her until they stopped in front of her, at which point she looked up.

It's Chen Can! How come I've run into her again?

What's with that expression? Don't you want to see me?

The moment Chen Can opened his mouth, that familiar feeling returned; this was the real Chen Can!

"No, how could that be? It's just a bit of a surprise."

Zhu Tingyue quickly apologized. This old lady had a temper similar to hers, no, even worse. She was the kind of person who would get angry at the slightest provocation. The key was that she had a special skill: she was very strong. She couldn't beat her.

She turned to look at Chen Can's side and asked, "What's this?"

"Don't you recognize him?" Chen Can settled the person opposite Zhu Tingyue, then sat down himself without any ceremony.

"Should I know him?"

Zhu Tingyue was completely confused. Had she seen this man before? He was so handsome, she should remember him!

"Hello, I am Lu Mingbo."

Before Chen Can could introduce them, the man next to her spoke first. His voice was clear and crisp, and Zhu Tingyue immediately thought he must be a very good singer.

"Hello, I am Shen Yanqiu."

Chen Can was ignored by the two "men", and last time, because of Lu Mingbo, she almost misunderstood "Shen Yanqiu".

Looking back at them now, I realize I was just imagining things. Both of them are incredibly straightforward; they greeted each other and then never said another word, never even making eye contact.

"What brings you out today?"

She learned a little about Shen Yanqiu's job at Baisi Technology from her brother, and she didn't expect that he would still have time to come out.

"Please, I went to work, not went inside. Why can't I come out?"

Zhu Tingyue always felt bitter and resentful when it came to work, let alone when she was facing Chen Can. She was living the same life she used to live!

She regrets it! She didn't cherish it before, and now she's crying her eyes out.

"That's true. Aren't you tired from work?"

Chen Can started talking about work again, and Zhu Tingyue had no desire to answer. But seeing Chen Can's expectant look, she still spoke up: "Are you alright? How are you?"

I asked casually, but she launched into a long explanation: "Me? I'm doing great. You know what? I recently discovered a fantastic group. Their dancing and singing skills are absolutely amazing. Once I give them a makeover, they're sure to become an overnight sensation."

Zhu Tingyue doesn't follow celebrities; she only likes good-looking people. Chen Can must have met many like that, so her standards are definitely high. Anyone she praises can't be too bad.

Just like the man next to her, even though he only said one sentence, Zhu Tingyue thought he was quite good.

Especially that profile, it's like... well, like Shen Yanqiu! I think I've really seen him before. The last time I was misunderstood as liking men, it was because of him!

Zhu Tingyue opened her eyes wide and looked at them hesitantly.

Her gaze caught Chen Can's attention: "What are you looking at?"

Zhu Tingyue beckoned to her, leaned close to her ear, and said, "Don't you think he looks like someone?"

Hot breath sprayed on her ear, and Chen Can's ear tips turned red unexpectedly. The two of them were too close. Shen Yanqiu really had no sense of propriety!

Zhu Tingyue looked at her bashful demeanor with suspicion, her eyes full of confusion: "What's wrong with you?"

Chen Can was too embarrassed to say it directly, so he glared at her and then looked at Lu Mingbo carefully, looking left and right, but still couldn't figure out who he looked like.

Zhu Tingyue prompted her from the side, "Doesn't it look like me?"

"you?"

Chen Can frowned and scrutinized the two. Upon closer inspection, he made a discovery: their eyebrows were remarkably similar, as were their eyes—typical peach blossom eyes.

"You two aren't brothers, are you?" she came to this conclusion.

Zhu Tingyue was shocked by her idea: "How did you figure that out?"

“Shen Yanzhen doesn’t look much like you, but he does have some similarities to you. Do you think it’s possible that he’s your brother?”

She presented her reasoning and evidence, and Zhu Tingyue could not refute her guess.

"Go back and ask your dad if he gave birth to another baby brother for you?"

Chen Can offered her some advice, but Zhu Tingyue thought it was a bad idea.

I wouldn't ask him. Knowing Shen Yingchu's temper, if I really asked him, he might get so angry he'd vomit blood.

As they were talking, the food Zhu Tingyue ordered arrived, while Chen Can's order, which came later, hadn't arrived yet.

Zhu Tingyue made a perfunctory polite remark before starting to eat heartily, leaving Chen Can with mixed feelings.

"Shen Yanqiu, how come you're living such a hard life? It hurts me to see you like this."

Zhu Tingyue stopped eating and asked her, "Why does it taste bitter?"

"Isn't this hard enough? Is it because Uncle Shen dislikes you and won't give you money? I have some here. How much do you want? Is five million enough? If not, I have more."

As she spoke, she took a card out of her bag and placed it in front of Zhu Tingyue, her eyes filled with heartache.

Zhu Tingyue is not short of money, but she is not completely without it either. Although she doesn't have any on hand, she has money in her bank account, even though the account is held by Shen Yanqiu!

He handed the card back to her, saying, "I have money, you can keep it for yourself!"

Chen Can also seemed to be a big spender, just like me.

She refused to accept it, but Chen Can persisted and asked, "Do you think it's too little? I have a few more cards at home. Do you have time tomorrow? I can bring them to you, or I can deliver them to you."

Who delivers money to your door like that? Even Guanyin Bodhisattva wouldn't do that!

Zhu Tingyue firmly refused: "Really, I don't need it. I have money."

To convince her, Zhu Tingyue opened her phone and said, "It's been so long, Shen Yanqiu should have transferred the money by now, right?"

Several unread messages were displayed in the WeChat chat box with Shen Yanqiu. He was indeed teachable and had made progress.

She clicked on it with a delighted look, and Shen Yanqiu's message came into view. From the long string of text, Zhu Tingyue only managed to extract two words: No!

What does he mean? Can't he even keep his own money? It's only been a few days, and his true colors are already showing?

He won't give me a single penny when I need money right now, and he even says I have no control over my spending?

How is she going to pay the bill? Chen Can is still watching her!
