After going bankrupt, the school beauty I was dating became my boss.

The next day.

Su Yanxi was in her office listening to Zhao Xu arrange her schedule when, a moment later, someone from the secretariat knocked on the door and came in: "President Su."

"what's up?"

The people in the secretariat looked at him strangely and answered cautiously, "President Su, there's a disturbance at the front desk."

"Is someone causing trouble?"

Su Yanxi raised an eyebrow: "If someone is causing trouble, just call security. Why are you calling me?"

"That person said she was your cousin."

Upon hearing this, Su Yanxi's expression began to turn strange.

Seeing that Su Yanxi remained silent, the secretary gave Zhao Xu a pleading look. Zhao Xu told them to go back first, and he would handle the rest. The secretary nodded slightly and left the president's office impatiently.

"President Su, shall I go over and take a look?"

Zhao Xu had been with Su Yanxi for many years and had never heard Su Yanxi mention her relatives. Every year during holidays, Su Yanxi would either work overtime at the company or go on a trip alone, and she never mentioned going home to visit her relatives.

Zhao Xu knew that Su Yanxi's parents had passed away. Seeing that Su Yanxi had never mentioned her other relatives, it was not hard to guess that Su Yanxi had lost contact with them.

But now, how come a cousin suddenly appears?

Su Yanxi remained silent and did not answer. Her father was an only child, and her mother had a younger sister, but her aunt was really too snobbish.

Her aunt and her mother had never gotten along since childhood. Because of her own bad marriage, her aunt would morally blackmail her mother and ask her for money and things. Later, when her mother fell ill, her aunt ignored her completely and refused to even come to see her.

Until her mother passed away, her aunt came running over again, saying she wanted to take the jewelry her mother had left behind, saying that the jewelry was all meant for her.

At that time, my father was heartbroken over my mother's death and didn't want to argue with my aunt about it, so he gave all the jewelry to her. After my aunt took the jewelry and left, she never had any contact with their family again.

Later, when her father fell ill, she went to her aunt's house once, hoping to borrow some money. But her aunt wouldn't even see her, fearing that she would become a burden on their family.

After my father passed away, my aunt did appear once, but at that time, she used the guise of caring for me to actually try and claim the property my father left behind. Fortunately, Professor Qin helped me then, and my aunt's plan failed.

It was from that time that Su Yanxi completely severed ties with the man.

Why would she suddenly contact her after so many years of no contact?

Seeing that Su Yanxi remained silent, Zhao Xu could guess that Su Yanxi did not welcome this so-called cousin, so he said, "President Su, I'll go to the front desk and ask her to leave."

"Let's bring the person over."

Su Yanxi knew all too well what kind of people her aunt's family were. If she kicked them out today, who knew what kind of trouble they would cause in the future?

Zhao Xu nodded and turned to leave.

Ten minutes later, there was another knock on the office door.

Su Yanxi put down her pen, looked up and called out, "Come in."

Zhao Xu pushed open the door and brought in a young woman. Before Zhao Xu could speak, the woman saw Su Yanxi and ran to Su Yanxi's side, grabbed Su Yanxi's arm, and called out affectionately, "Cousin, it's me, Xiaoxi!"

Sun Xiaoxi's outgoing manner surprised Zhao Xu. Zhao Xu looked at Su Yanxi, seemingly asking if she needed any help.

Su Yanxi understood Zhao Xu's look and gently shook her head at him. Zhao Xu understood, left the office, and closed the door.

After Zhao Xu left, Su Yanxi pulled her arm away from Sun Xiaoxi's grasp, then got up and sat down on the sofa.

Seeing this, Sun Xiaoxi immediately followed. Originally, Sun Xiaoxi wanted to sit next to Su Yanxi, but seeing that Su Yanxi's expression was not right, she could only sit down on the sofa opposite Su Yanxi.

"Cousin, I've missed you so much, it's been so long."

As soon as she sat down, Sun Xiaoxi couldn't wait to express how much she missed him. But if Sun Xiaoxi's eyes hadn't been constantly scanning the office, her words might have been more believable.

"Who asked you to come here?"

Su Yanxi didn't believe Sun Xiaoxi's words at all and directly asked who had sent Sun Xiaoxi over.

Upon hearing this, Sun Xiaoxi was about to reply that it was you who asked her to come, but after seeing Su Yanxi's unwelcoming expression, she belatedly realized that the person who asked her to come might not be Su Yanxi!

Who is this person?

Why arrange all of this?

Sun Xiaoxi couldn't understand it, but no matter who it was, it was good that she only knew about Su Yanxi's current situation.

Thinking of this, Sun Xiaoxi replied, "I came here by myself. Cousin, you don't know, I just lost my job, and I really couldn't make ends meet. I'm all alone out here, so I had no choice but to come and rely on you."

"If you can't make a living outside, why not go home?"

“Go home? If I go home, my mom will definitely force me to get married and then use my dowry to buy a house for my younger brother.”

Upon hearing that she was to go home, Sun Xiaoxi reacted strongly: "Cousin, I don't want to go home and I can't go home. Cousin, you loved me the most when I was little, and now you have to help me too. Otherwise, my life will be ruined."

After listening to Sun Xiaoxi's complaints and pleas, Su Yanxi couldn't help but think of the past.

When their mother was still alive, their family and their aunt's family still kept in touch.

Sun Xiaoxi's life wasn't easy because her aunt's family favored boys over girls. From a young age, Sun Xiaoxi liked to follow Su Yanxi around, and Su Yanxi genuinely liked her cousin.

But what happened next made her see the true colors of her aunt's family, including Sun Xiaoxi.

Sun Xiaoxi claimed to like her cousin, but when she came to visit her at the university, she heard rumors that her cousin was being kept by a sugar daddy. Upon returning home, she immediately started spreading rumors, saying the most offensive things possible. As a result, when she finally went back to her mother's hometown to deal with the situation, everyone pointed fingers at her.

It was from that time that Su Yanxi realized that Sun Xiaoxi didn't actually like her as her cousin. On the contrary, Sun Xiaoxi constantly compared her to her and was jealous of everything she had.

Therefore, when the incident occurred, Sun Xiaoxi did not think of helping Su Yanxi; instead, she kicked her while she was down.

Su Yanxi came to her senses. Faced with Sun Xiaoxi's show of weakness, even though she knew the other party had ill intentions, she still couldn't help but soften her heart.

After all, she was the younger sister she had once truly loved; she couldn't remain indifferent.

Su Yanxi sighed softly and said, "If you want to stay, then stay. But let me make this clear first. I will find you a job, and once you find a job, you will have to leave."

"Okay, thank you, cousin."
