“Oh . OK . Darling, I see . Don’t worry . I know what to do . ”

Xia Ning hangs up the phone . She feels very guilty in her heart .

Yi Yunrui called her just now, telling her that the monitoring instrument was placed by Su Xueli . The reason is that Su Xueli takes some bribe from an editor who wants to steal information from her .

No wonder that the information spread so fast . It turns out to be done by people of the circle .

Because it got a lot of people involved, it was inconvenient for the army to deal with it . They decided that there wouldn’t be serious punishment for that . As for what the punishment was, Yi Yunrui didn’t mention .

Her husband won’t tell her the conclusion of the punishment . He must be afraid that she will be worried about him .

However, she blamed Jing Shu by mistake .

At the time, Gu Ruoruo brings the coffee . She puts it on Xia Ning’s desk, “Sister Xia, what are you thinking about? You look worried . ”

Xia Ning hesitates . She takes up the coffee for a sip and then responds, “Ruoruo, I have some urgent things to deal with . I need to leave for a while . You may call me if anything happens . I am leaving now . ”

“Oh…Wait . Sister Xia, where are you going?”

On the road .

Xia Ning drives her car . After some turnings, she arrives at the gate of a house . She takes out the address to check and says, “Right . Here I am . ”

According to the information on Jing Shu’s resume, she is living here .

Xia Ning finds a place and parks her car . She gets off the car and walks to Jing Shu’s home .

She hasn’t arrived when she sees a taxi stop in front of the gate and someone gets off . It is Jing Shu .

Jing Shu takes some files in one hand and her phone in the other hand . She is talking about something .

Xia Ning pauses and hides herself . She feels confused, wondering if Jing Shu has found another job .

Jing Shu finishes the call . She checks the files in her hand . Then, she puts them down and gives a helpless sigh .

Sigh? It seems that she hasn’t found a new job .

Thinking about this, Xia Ning takes out her phone and dials Jing Shu’s number .

In few seconds, Jing Shu presses the answer button . She cries, “Sister Xia! It is you . God . I can’t believe it . ”

It is obviously seen by herself . Jing Shu is not faking her pleasure, which makes Xia Ning feel guilty .

“Jing Shu…well, I wonder if you have got a new job . ”

“No . No . Not at all . Ah . If I still can’t find any jobs, I am going to starve . Sister Xia, please kindly take me back, will you?”

Hearing this, Xia Ning feels amused, “Girl, you are exaggerating . ”

“Not at all! Seriously, Xia Ning, I never lied to you! Please take me back . Will you?”

Jing Shu miserably begs Xia Ning . If this happens under other circumstances, Xia Ning will surely feel suspicious of her . But at this moment, she can only describe the scene with one word: cute .

Yes, Xia Ning finds Jing Shu a very cute girl .

“Don’t you blame me for firing you?”

“Firing? It didn’t happen! You just gave me some days off . I have been resting at home . I get enough rest now . I feel bored now . When can I go to work?”

Xia Ning laughs . Jing Shu just said that she would starve if she couldn’t find a job soon . Now, she says that she feels bored at home . That is really contradictory .

It seems that she is too happy to keep logical speech .

“Well…you may come back tomorrow . Anyway, I may tell you something now . Jing Shu, listen carefully . ” Xia Ning says in a deeper voice, “I told you to have some days break . You can’t come back with complaints about that . After all, people will become inefficient at work when they have some emotional issues . In addition, I have got a lot of pressure at work . I don’t want to see your angry face every day . ”

“No . It won’t happen!” Jing Shu responds with no hesitation, “I will work hard! I love working under Sister Xia . ”

Xia Ning feels confused with her response . She always feels strange about something in Jing Shu .

“Well . Come back to work tomorrow . ”

“Hum!”

Jing Shu hangs up the phone . She jumps up high . Then, she tears the files in her hand into pieces and throws them to the air! She hasn’t opened the door when she cries, “Mom, I am very glad today . ”

After Jing Shu enters her house, Xia Ning walks out from the hidden place . She looks at the pieces on the ground . She picks up a piece . When she sees the words The Contract of Labor of XX Weekly, she feels shocked .

Jing Shu has signed the contract already . Why did she still lie to her that she hadn’t found a job?

World Era Weekly is famous in the industry and many people want to work for it . But Jing Shu’s reaction seems to be too exaggerative .

Xia Ning feels even more confused when she remembers that during the conversation, what Jing Shu kept mentioning is Xia Ning’s name . She heard it clearly . Jing Shu wanted to work under her .

Wait!

Something cracks loudly inside her brain . Xia Ning feels shocked!

God . Can Jing Shu come to her with any weird intentions?

No way . She has to figure it out first!

Xia Ning takes out her phone and dials Yi Yunrui’s number . She tells him about Jing Shu and asks worriedly, “Darling, do you think there is anything wrong?”

Yi Yunrui thinks for a while . He asks, “Sweetheart, are you outside?”

“Hum . I am right in front of Jing Shu’s home . I planned to visit her and make an apology . ” Now, she feels a little worried .

“Ha . Ha . Ha…”

Suddenly, Yi Yunrui laughs at the other end of the phone . Xia Ning feels confused .

“Darling, why are you laughing?”

“No . Nothing . ” Yi Yunrui takes some effort to stop laughing and says, “Jing Shu didn’t go to you with weird intentions . Don’t worry . ”

“Oh?” Xia Ning hesitates, “Are you sure?” Actually, she wants to have some evidence so that she doesn’t need to be worried .

“Hum . I am sure about that . Jing Shu’s background is not complicated . Her hobbies are also normal . She was very popular when she was in college . She may at most be distinctive in personality . Sweetheart, since you have arrived at the door of her home, why not go inside to have a seat? You may find some answers at her home . ”

Since her lovely husband tells her to contact Jing Shu unworriedly, she doesn’t need to worry at all . Thinking about this, Xia Ning responds and hangs up the phone .

Then, she buys a lot of things . Considering that there may be old people in the house, she also buys quite some health care medicine . Carrying a lot of bags in her hands, Xia Ning knocks at the door of Jing Shu’s house .

The bell rings for quite a while before the door is opened . It is an aunt in her forties opening the door .

“Hello, Aunt, my name is Xia Ning . I work with Jing Shu in the same company . May I come in?” Xia Ning politely asks . She thinks that this aunt must be Jing Shu’s mother .

Surprisingly, the aunt doesn’t invite her to go in or speak to her . Instead, she stares at her, as if she is looking at something very strange .

Xia Ning blinks her eyes . She glances at herself and asks, “Aunt, what’s wrong? Well . Are you Jing Shu’s mother?”

“You… It is you…” Suddenly, the aunt sticks out her finger to point at Xia Ning . Her voice trembles . She says, “It is you . Yes . I remember . Ah . We meet again . Oh, what’s your name?”

Xia Ning feels embarrassed . She keeps smiling, “Aunt, my name is Xia Ning . ”

“Yes . Miss Xia . ” She draws Xia Ning’s hand, “Come on in . Shu is having a bath . Please come in to have a seat . ”

The house is not big, with two bedrooms and a living room . However, it is arranged delicately . It makes Xia Ning feel warm in her heart .

The aunt goes to make the tea at once . She brings all kinds of fruit and snacks to Xia Ning . Seeing the aunt treat her with great hospitality, Xia Ning feels shy .

“Aunt, please sit down . You don’t need to be so polite . I only drop by . I am leaving soon . ” Xia Ning stops the aunt who is going to fetch more things .

“Mom, I am OK . Who is visiting us?”

Jing Shu’s voice comes out from the bathroom .

“Shu, come out . Miss Xia is here to see you . ”

“What?” Jing Shu is heard raise her voice . Then, the door of the bath room is opened at once . Jing Shu runs out with only a bath towel on her . She cries, “God . Sister Xia, why do you come here?”

Jing Shu’s hair is still dripping water and she has only a bath towel on her . Xia Ning frowns, “Shu, you may change your clothes first . ”

“Oh? Ah . Excuse me . ” She turns around and runs back to the bathroom, “Sister Xia, please wait for me for a little while . ”

Xia Ning feels speechless . At the time, she finds that Jing Shu’s mother looks at her with a very gentle smile on her face .

“Aunt, how should I address you?”

“Me…” The aunt thinks for quite a while and responds, “My surname is Ling . My given name is Rou . Shu often calls me Rourou . ”

Xia Ning blinks her eyes . Based on Aunt Ling’s behaviors, it seems that she has some symptom of … Alzheimer’s disease .

“Aunt Ling, sorry to disturb you . Next time, before I come, I will call Shu first . ”

“It is fine . Miss Xia, we haven’t got any visitors here for a long time . You are a rare guest . You are a distinguished guest to us . ”

No visitors for a long time? Doesn’t Jing Shu have any friends?

Xia Ning finds that Aunt Ling quietly stares at her again . She can’t help asking, “Aunt Ling, you said just now that we met again . Did we ever…meet before?”

“Yes, we did . ” Aunt Ling responds with no hesitation .

Xia Ning wants to ask other questions when Jing Shu comes out . She has just dried her hair which hangs down to her shoulders .

“Sister Xia, what do you like to eat? Well . Let me peel a red delicious apple for you . I know it is your favorite . ” Jing Shu takes up a red delicious apple and peels it .

“Shu, how do you know that I like red delicious apples?” Xia Ning feels surprised .

“What you put in your bag most is red delicious apples . ” Jing Shu practically finishes peeling the apple and passes it to Xia Ning, “Sister Xia, have a taste to see whether it is sweet . Mom, you like pears . Let me peel a pear for you . ”

Xia Ning bites the apple when looking at Jing Shu who is pealing the pear . She can tell from Aunt Ling’s eyes that Jing Shu is an excellent daughter .

Xia Ning glances around the house but fails to see Jing Shu’s father . She asks, “Shu, where is your father?”

“My father passed away . ” Jing Shu responds in a bright voice .

“Oh . Sorry . I should not mention it . ”

“It is fine . My father died when I was a kid . Well . It is office hour . Why do you come to see me at this time?”

Xia Ning hesitates for a while . She feels quite embarrassed, “Actually, I come here to say sorry to you . ”

Jing Shu pauses, “Say sorry? Sister Xia, you didn’t do anything wrong . Why do you want to say sorry to me?
