Jiang Zhiyan recounted the whole story. Jiang Yan'an's mother, Jiang Min'an, lost both her parents at a young age and lived with her uncle. When she grew up, she met Jiang Yan'an's father, Yan Chen. The two fell in love and married. A year later, Jiang Min'an became pregnant and looked forward to the arrival of the new life and the start of a new and happy life.

When Jiang Yan'an was born, Jiang Min'an died in childbirth. The bad news instantly devastated Yan Chen. He couldn't catch his breath and fell ill. Soon after, he was diagnosed with stomach cancer and followed Jiang Min'an to the end in just two months. Before his death, he named his child Yan'an.

At that time, Yan'an was less than 3 months old when he lost his parents. After much deliberation, the Jiang family elders transferred Yan'an's household registration to Jiang Zhiyan's name and officially changed his name to Jiang Yan'an.

Mo Jingyu listened quietly, speechless for a moment, a thousand words swirling in her throat, finally managing to squeeze out only one sentence, "Can I go see her?"

“Okay,” Jiang Zhiyan replied.

Mo Jingyu couldn't help but picture the scene in her mind: a woman full of expectations for a sweet future, who endured the hardships of ten months of pregnancy, but passed away without even seeing her child. The child's father was also shattered by the hardships of fate, and all his beautiful dreams were broken.

This family has suffered so much. Mo Jingyu felt nothing but pity for them. Seeing that the phone call was still going on, she asked softly, "How did An'an find out about this?"

Jiang Zhiyan remained silent for a long time before slowly speaking, his voice tinged with helplessness, "Last year during the Spring Festival, An'an heard from others that he didn't look much like me, and became suspicious. He asked if I was adopted, and we thought about it and told him the truth."

“An’an must have been really upset back then, right?” Mo Jingyu felt heartbroken.

"Yes, when we first found out, the little guy cried his eyes out, so we thought about finding him a mother later," Jiang Zhiyan said.

Mo Jingyu couldn't help but tease: You really know how to pick, picking someone as capable as me right away.

She immediately became serious and assured him, "Don't worry, I'm truly devoted to An'an. Now that I'm An'an's mother, I have to be frank with some things, Mr. Jiang. Fatherly love is equally indispensable in An'an's growth, so you'll have to pay more attention to it." Jiang Zhiyan indicated that he understood and then hung up the phone.

Mo Jingyu had just come out of the bathroom when she saw Jiang Yan'an's small figure standing at the door. Startled, she quickly asked, "Why are you awake, An'an?" She was still wondering how much of the phone call the child had overheard.

Jiang Yan'an rubbed her sleepy eyes and said in a daze, "I need to go to the toilet."

Mo Jingyu quickly stepped aside to make way for Jiang Yan'an in the bathroom. After Jiang Yan'an finished washing his hands, she gently carried the child back to bed and soothed him tenderly, "Go to sleep, baby."

Unexpectedly, Jiang Yan'an blurted out, "Mom, you are my mom now." Mo Jingyu was taken aback and subconsciously asked, "An'an, don't you miss your mom?"

Jiang Yan'an answered obediently and sensibly, "Yes, I miss my mom. I miss her very much, but I know she has gone to another world. Now I have a mom again, so I'm not so sad."

Mo Jingyu felt a warmth in her heart, and hugged Jiang Yan'an tightly, kissing his chubby little face and gently comforting him, "Yes, An'an, I will always be with you from now on."

The warm yellow light gently shone on Jiang Yan'an's sleeping face. Mo Jingyu watched quietly, and that night, Mo Jingyu felt that she had completely become a mother.

Filled with love for the little guy, and a touch of bitterness for his past, she couldn't help but mentally grumble, "What kind of awful novels does this author write!"

As the night passed, the morning sunlight streamed in through the gaps in the curtains, and everyone seemed to feel much more relaxed. The director, holding a megaphone, shouted at the top of his lungs, "Today is the last day of this episode! As usual, everyone is free to do as they please, but the production team won't be providing any funding."

"Director, your skin is thicker than your toes!" Zhao Momo retorted without any politeness, which caused a burst of laughter from those around her.

Jiang Yan'an was dressed exceptionally playfully and adorably today. His light yellow T-shirt was soft and bright, paired with light blue overalls. The pant legs swayed with his little steps, and he carried a fluffy little duck backpack on his back. He looked incredibly cute, making people want to laugh at him.

The live chat instantly became lively:

Wow, An'an is so cute today!! Let's go home with Auntie!

If all human babies were this adorable and well-behaved, I'd be willing to have them!

Why is my little nephew such a brat?! Ugh, another day of envying Sister Yu.

[I have to say, Sister Yu is really lucky to have such a well-behaved stepson.]

[She's been using Weiwei's identity for so many years, and Weiwei has suffered so much for her.]

Mo Jingyu must have suffered quite a bit within the Mo family.

The fans were exchanging comments, and it looked like they were about to get into a huge argument, but Annie quickly stepped in and muted them, finally restoring peace to the comment section.

Jiang Yan'an reached into her duck-shaped backpack, rummaged around for a while, pulled out two red bills, handed them to Mo Jingyu, and said in a clear voice, "It's okay, Mom, we have money." Mo Jingyu had just clutched the money in her hand and hadn't even warmed it yet when the director swiftly reached over and snatched it away, claiming he was keeping it safe for her.

Mo Jingyu was speechless, thinking to herself, "This is exactly the same as those parents who take away my lucky money during Chinese New Year."

Mo Weiwei watched from the side, the corners of her mouth unable to help but turn up slightly, feeling extremely happy. The director finally taught Mo Jingyu a lesson. The director continued, "Today you have to earn your own funds. There are many shops on this street, and plenty of jobs. You can go and do temporary work to earn money, and then use the money you earn to play."

Zhao Momo rolled her eyes and complained helplessly, "Director, we have to earn our own money. What kind of free time is this? It's still a mission!"

The director vehemently denied it, and even glanced at Mo Jingyu deliberately, saying unhurriedly, "You can choose not to earn money, but then you won't have lunch." Mo Jingyu rolled her eyes at him. After announcing the meeting time, the director waved his hand and dismissed everyone. Seeing that Mo Jingyu was still standing there, Mo Weiwei's eyes lit up, and she stepped forward to ask, "Sister, aren't you going?"

Mo Jingyu glanced at her, thinking to herself that she was provoking him as soon as she recovered her strength, and said, "Hmm, I don't want to work, what's wrong?" Mo Weiwei immediately put on what she thought was her most beautiful smile and said insincerely, "Sister, if you don't work, what will An'an eat? How about this, we'll treat An'an to a meal later."

Mo Jingyu nodded without hesitation, a faint smile playing on her lips. "Sure, you've called me 'sister' for so many years and taken so many advantage of me, it's not unreasonable for you to treat An'an to a meal." After saying that, she patted Jiang Yan'an, making him thank her.

Mo Weiwei cursed inwardly, thinking that Mo Jingyu was shameless, but she still couldn't help but lecture him, "Sister, you still need to be more diligent. Don't act like you did in the Mo family. It will have a bad influence on An'an."

Mo Jingyu felt that these words were innocuous and thought to herself that the female lead's attack power was too weak. Jiang Yan'an immediately chimed in, "Auntie, my mother's behavior is not called being lazy, but rather conserving her energy. My mother usually does weighted walking races."

Mo Jingyu: Goodness! You can say that while shopping?

She placed her hands on Jiang Yan'an's shoulders, tilted her head slightly to look at Mo Weiwei, and said slowly, "Even if I go hungry myself, I won't let the child go hungry, sister, you can rest assured."

"Really? Hehe, it's good that you know, sister." Mo Weiwei's face turned red with anger. She glared at Mo Jingyu and left angrily with Xie Yifan in her hand.

Mo Jingyu stared at her retreating figure, filled with doubt. With such limited skills, how could she possibly compete with the group of beauties surrounding the male lead? Strangely, in the original story, the male lead was surrounded by women like butterflies, but when the female lead and the supporting female characters were described, it was always only briefly mentioned. Now it seems that this female lead's tea-making skills aren't all that great.

Mo Jingyu greeted Lin Yunyuan and the others, then took Jiang Yan'an for a leisurely stroll.

Mo Jingyu strolled along the street with Jiang Yan'an, lost in thought as they walked. Suddenly, they bumped into someone handing out flyers. The person, dressed in a heavy mascot costume, swayed from the impact. Mo Jingyu quickly apologized, "I'm so sorry!" But then she heard a surprised and clear voice from inside the mascot costume, "Sister Yu!"

Mo Jingyu tentatively asked, "You... are you the doll girl from that day?" The other person nodded vigorously, causing the rabbit ears on the doll's head to sway back and forth, and said excitedly, "It's me! Sister Yu, you still remember me!"

Mo Jingyu smiled and nodded, then asked with concern, "Why are you working here?"

The young woman took off her headgear, revealing a vibrant face. She shrugged helplessly, "Sigh, I just graduated from university, and it's so hard to find a job. To make a living, I can only do odd jobs here and there."

As Mo Jingyu listened, he felt an even stronger connection with this girl. After several encounters, he could tell that she was simple-minded. If her major was relevant, hiring her into his company would be a good idea. With that in mind, he asked, "What did you study in college?"

"News editor," the young woman replied. Mo Jingyu's eyes lit up; this was a perfect fit. She immediately said enthusiastically, "I'm currently looking for an assistant. Would you like to give it a try?"

The young woman was both surprised and delighted, her eyes widening in surprise. "Me?! Sister Yu, are you serious?"

Mo Jingyu nodded repeatedly, her eyes full of sincerity. Jiang Yan'an clapped his hands in support, but the young lady still hesitated. Mo Jingyu noticed this and reassured her, "Don't worry, I'll send you the company information to WeChat later. Think it over carefully, and ask me if you have any questions. By the way, what's your name?"

"An Xiaoxiao".

Jiang Yan'an chimed in, "Sister, look, we both have the character 'An' in our names, which means we're super destined for each other!" Mo Jingyu smiled and ruffled Jiang Yan'an's hair. "Yeah, yeah, think about it. If you're willing, send me your resume. Bye-bye!"

An Xiaoxiao stared at Mo Jingyu's departing figure, unable to come back to her senses for a long time. The surprise she had just experienced still lingered in her mind until the shop owner impatiently warned her that he would deduct her wages. Only then did she hurriedly continue handing out flyers.

The chat room became lively again:

【What?! This young lady is going to work for Sister Yu?!】

I want to go too, sob sob, my current boss is exploiting me every day.

College students are treated like free cattle, but nobody wants them QAQ

Who knows if Mo Jingyu mistreats her staff in private?

[Here comes the lemon!]

Mei Lan was also watching the live stream. She knew in her heart that Mo Jingyu was not simply recruiting an assistant. However, since Mo Jingyu had spoken up, she would have to carefully vet him.

Happy New Year, everyone!
