Chapter 66 - Harder Life

Wen Shaoming walked out of the second room after his interview with a smile on his face. "I think you did great. Your smile says it all," Bei Suzy teased.

"Hah! I am confident that they will have no choy but to hire me. If not, it is their loss not mine," he shamelessly said. "So how did you guys do?" He asked.

"I did great, thanks to your strengthening talks. I was not nervous," Bei Suzy answered.

"I think I did well. Their expectations were hard to read, but I caught a slight glimpse of impression on the head of the group's face," Bai Renxiang answered.

"Then I look forward to working with you guys," Wen Shaoming said. The three of them went their separate ways when they left the company. Bai Renxiang saw Shane standing beside the car making a call and walked up to him.

"Yes, she is done. She is here now... Sis, madam wants to talk to you," he passed the phone to Bai Renxiang and helped her place her bag and file in the car.

"Mum how are you and Jin?" Bai Renxiang asked.

"We are fine. Your baby misses you alot. Come home quickly and pet your son. He has been ignoring everyone and is crying. It is why I called to ask Shane if you were done," Jiang Meilin said.

"Put him on the call," she said.

"Heho mummy," a little crying voice spoke out from the phone.

"Hello, my love. How are you?"

"Bad. Mummy not coming back?" He asked. "I will come back. Mummy is sorry for staying too long. I will give you hugs and kisses when I get back, okay?"

"Hmm," he nodded as if she could see him.

"That is my boy. No more crying and wait for mummy, okay? Bye-bye."

"Bye-bye." After about thirty minutes drive, Bai Renxiang and Shane arrived at home. The moment she entered the house, Xiaojin hugged her legs. It was as if he had been standing by the door waiting for her to just walk right through it.

"Aww my baby missed mummy so much," she scooped him a into her arms and kissed him all over his little chubby face. Xiaojin buried his face in her neck. He was still sad that his mother had been gone for a long time.

"Are you angry with mummy?" He shook his head. "You thought mummy will not come home and hug you to sleep at night?" He nodded his head. "I am sorry. I promise to stay with you all we A at dpay long tomorrow and hug you through out the night. Now let mummy take a nice and quick bath and then prepare whole grain pancakes for you and a glass of warm milk," she said as sh walked into their room. Her mother was downstairs selling groceries as there were lots of customers around so she could not come to welcome her.

*******

Two years leap.

"Hmm!! Black for the her trouser, red for the shirt and- wait a minute Would she look better on red flats or black? I think she will look stunning in the black," three year old Bai Xiaojin talked to himself.

These years had been bad for Bai Renxiang and her family. Old man Jiang got an accident that was planned by God knows who and his health had turned from good to worse. It was said by the doctor that his heart was weak and could experience failure that may lead to his death at anytime. His relatives had started claiming his wealth even when he was yet to die. She had to apply for another job at a restaurant in the City S to support her them. Although they still had the money he gave them but that was already budgeted for Xiaojin's education and she and her mother had decided not to touch even a single penny from the money. Hers and her mother's only support was critically sick. The money her grandfather was to give them got converted I to her uncles own money.

They were just managing to live by the small income from the grocery store and the company. This was what forced Bai Renxiang into looking for a side job she could do to add to raise her income to support her family.

Today was a Saturday and she would be working full time at the restaurant and her shift begins from eight till five o'clock in the evening. After Bai Xiaojin arranged everything that his mother would be wearing to work and her baths, he woke her up.

"Mummy wake up or else you will be late for work. It is already seven this morning and you do not want your boss to scold you, right? Now wake up," he said while shaking her shoulders lightly.

Hearing the cute angelic voice of her baby boy, Bai Renxiang woke up. "Good morning, my love. How was your night?" She asked as she sat up on the bed with Xiaojin on her lap.

"My night was fine because mummy cuddled with me all night. But you have to wake up and get ready for work," he reminded her. "I have prepared what you are going to wear and your bath is ready. It takes forty minutes to get there and you have just twenty minutes to freshen up and eat," Xiaojin stated.

"Aww that is so sweet of you. Alright, I will start preparing for my day as quickly as possible. Thanks for helping me out," she said and started getting ready for work. Before eight, she was at work. She changed into the restaurant uniform of black pants and white shirt and black apronl her apron, she walked out of the changing room to start her work of taking and delivering orders to the customers at the restaurant.

"Oh, Rennie you are here. How is your mum and son?" Ning Xiaozhi, her boss called.

"Yeah, I just arrived. Mum and Jin are fine. Thank you for asking," she replied with a smile. Her boss was so sweet and understanding.

"That is good to hear. Take care of yourself out there. I need to rush out."

"I will.. Bye," she greeted and went straight to work.
