Su Ruowan said helplessly, “Mr. Wang, I’m not going back anymore.”

Wang Zijian shouted, “Don’t think that I don’t know what happened. Whatever Miss Zhang says, my cousin just listens to her. But I’m telling you, I’m not afraid. After you come back, I will do my best to protect you.”

Su Ruowan felt a headache all of a sudden. Why was it so difficult to communicate with Wang Zijian? 

When Wang Zijian noticed that it was silent on the other end of the line, he had to say, “Ruowan, I know that you care about your dignity so much. But you have to raise Jiu Jiu. So I gave your resume to Wu Lili and Feng Xiaoyuan. They have connections, so I asked them to help you find a job. I guess we will hear some good news from them soon.”

Wu Lili? 

Su Ruowan thought of the phone call just now, and she finally understood. 

When she joined the company two years ago, Wu Lili had been so amazed by her figure, especially after knowing that she had already given birth. And Wu Lili always complained about her ability and potential being wasted. 

With this realization, she didn’t know whether to laugh or to cry. 

Zhang Luoya dialed a number. When the person from the other side answered, she said, “Lirong, have you finished the model selection? 

“The theme this time is ‘First Love in Summer.’ And based on Jing Yang Group’s requirements, it’s better to choose from amateurs.”

“By the way, the Su Ruowan I’ve mentioned to you last time. Has she come for an interview?”

“Not yet? She’s actually my classmate at the university. She was terribly hurt by a scumbag ex-boyfriend before, and since then, she has been living a bad life. As her old classmate, I couldn’t bear to see her so desperate. I want to help her. But she hardly swallows her pride.” “Yes, yes. So I don’t want her to know that it’s me.”

“Can you ask your colleagues to try their best to persuade her? She is really good. Thank you. I’ll treat you to dinner after the event.”

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Luoya left her office humming a happy tune contentedly. 

She wanted to get even with Wu Yaxin, but she didn’t expect that Wu Yaxin would resign from her job. And according to her investigation, Wu Yaxin’s sworn enemy at work was Su Ruowan. She also read Su Ruowan’s information, and she found out that Su Ruowan was a single mother. She guessed Su Ruowan must have slept with some random stranger and had a child. How dare she covet Jing Muchen now? 

While she was thinking about playing tricks on Su Ruowan again, she happened to see Su Ruowan’s resume in the modeling agency. Since the heavens gave her such a good opportunity, how could she let it go? 

“Miss Su, I really think you are the right person for this job.”

Su Ruowan was having a headache. She really couldn’t walk coquettishly on the stage. 

“Miss Su, you don’t have to worry about it at all. This time, we are looking for amateurs. You only need a few days of training. The show will be next Friday, then after that, you will earn ten thousand dollars. Please think about it again.”

“Well…” Su Ruowan murmured. 

The balance in her heart began to tilt slowly. 

“Miss Su, you can come to our company and find me. My surname is Gao. Okay, it’s settled then. I’ll wait for you tomorrow. Bye.” The person from the other side immediately hung up without giving Su Ruowan any chance to refuse. 

Su Ruowan put down her phone. She would earn ten thousand dollars for a week. It was quite tempting. 

She worked in the etiquette company for three years, and the highest monthly salary she got was five thousand dollars. In D City, it was just enough to maintain her basic life. But in her case, she had a daughter to raise. 

Okay, she had to do it. She encouraged herself to give it a try for the sake of her daughter. 

“Mommy!” The school bell rang, and soon, Jiu Jiu appeared in front of Su Ruowan with a small schoolbag on her back. 

She squatted down and hugged her sweet and cute daughter. 

Jiu Jiu kissed her on the cheek and said sweetly, “Mommy, I miss you so much.”

Su Ruowan slightly pinched her little nose. Since she started to speak in complete sentences at the age of two, she liked flattering others with her sweet words. Her sweetness and cuteness could melt even the hardest heart in the world. 

“Su Anjiu!” “Jiu Jiu!”

When Su Ruowan was about to leave with Jiu Jiu, the call from behind made her turn around. 

Then she saw Yan Yan running towards them with an Ultraman toy in one hand and a small blue school bag in the other. Following behind him was another little chubby boy with red cheeks. 

The moment Yan Yan saw Su Ruowan, his big black eyes lit up at once. He smiled sweetly at her and greeted, “Hello, beautiful sister!”

The little chubby boy walked over to Jiu Jiu and asked directly, “Su Anjiu, will you be my girlfriend?” As he spoke, he spread his little fat hand, showing a milk candy on it. 

Upon seeing this, Jiu Jiu immediately held Su Ruowan’s thigh and pouted, looking very unhappy. 

Yan Yan grabbed the candy from the chubby boy’s hand, removed its wrapper, and put it into his mouth. “Fang Zikai, you are such a bumpkin! How can you chase girls with milk candy?”

“Hey, give me back my candy!” Fang Zikai stretched out his fat hand and put it into Yan Yan’s mouth, trying to take the candy out. 

“Bah!” Yan Yan pulled Fang Zikai’s hand away and spat on the ground. The candy that hadn’t melted yet fell. He then stepped on it, crushed it with his brown leather shoes, and shouted, “You are so dirty, Fatty Fang!”

Looking at the milk candy that had turned black, Fang Zikai sat down on the ground and burst into tears. 

Su Ruowan got anxious and was about to pull him up. 

“Kai Kai!” A shrill female voice came from behind. Then a woman in a green peacock dress rushed over and helped Fang Zikai up. “What’s wrong, Kai Kai? Let Auntie have a look at you.”

Fang Zikai wiped his tears, pouted, and pointed at Yan Yan. “He bullied me.”

When the woman turned around, the expression on Su Ruowan’s face drastically changed. The woman in front of her was Fang Yansha, Helian Chen’s mother. She didn’t expect that Fang Yansha would have such a young nephew. 

Fang Yansha also recognized Su Ruowan, so she snorted angrily, pointed at Yan Yan, and scolded sharply, “You little bastard! You are so unruly! How can you bully others at will?”

Su Ruowan held Jiu Jiu’s little shoulder and was about to explain, “Auntie…”

“Shut up! Don’t call me like that!” Fang Yansha looked at her disgustedly. “Why do I have to meet you everywhere? You’re such a jinx!”

Su Ruowan’s face turned pale, and she covered Jiu Jiu’s little ears subconsciously. 

Yan Yan frowned, stood in front of her, and said in a sweet voice, “I will take responsibility for what I did. Old woman, don’t scold my beautiful sister.”

His words brought warmth to her heart. For the first time, someone defended her. And who would expect that it was a child? 

“What did you just call me? Old woman?” Fang Yansha’s face twisted in anger. She reached out her index finger and stuck it on Yan Yan’s forehead for a while. “You…” She was too angry to say a complete sentence. 

“What? You’re so old that you can’t even say a complete sentence. You’re definitely not as good as my beautiful sister. I just ate Fatty Fang’s candy, and he already cries like that. I’ll ask my great-grandpa to buy your whole family some other day. I’ll see how you cry.” Although Yan Yan was still a child, he looked extremely arrogant and powerful as he spoke. His handsome and delicate face showed an impressive manner, which made Fang Yansha angry and frightened at the same time. Even her legs softened a bit.
