“Wait!” Jing Shu feels very confused, “Sister Xia, what on earth happened? What truth do you mean?”
Xia Ning hesitates for a while . Then, she tells her the case that the information of Long Shaojie’s kidnap was disclosed . She also mentions the hair in Yi Yunrui’s car .
Jing Shu feels shocked to hear those . She cries, “God . A monitoring instrument? That woman is evil! How dare she do this to you! If I met her, I would cut her into eight pieces!”
Xia Ning feels surprised . It is she who did the wrong thing, but Jing Shu is not angry with her at all . Instead, she sincerely stands on her side . Xia Ning feels very moved .
However, Xia Ning has a question she wants to figure out . Or, she will always feel confused and may do something to Jing Shu because of misunderstandings again .
“Jing Shu, I want to talk with you about something . Is it convenient for us to talk in your bedroom?”
“Yes . But you can’t blame me for the mess in my room . ” Then, Jing Shu turns to her mother, “Rourou, you may stay here quietly . I will be back soon . ”
Aunt Ling nods . As if she remembers something, she says, “Oh . I promised that I would boil the sweet soup for Shu . I go to boil it now . She will be able to have some in the evening . ”
Then, Aunt Ling goes to the kitchen hurriedly .
“Mom, be careful . Don’t hurt yourself . ” Jing Shu reminds her .
Jing Shu’s bedroom is small, with only a bed, a chair and a computer desk . It can’t be simpler . Anyway, Xia Ning still notices that Jing Shu tries her best to decorate her small bedroom well .
Ever since she came into the house, Xia Ning has found that Jing Shu’s home is sweet, clean and comfortable . She can’t help admiring, “Shu, you have a happy life . ”
“Sure . ” Jing Shu initiatively holds Xia Ning’s hand . She says, “Sister Xia, I know that you have an excellent husband . You are the only one who can match him . Just now, my mom was there . It was inconvenient for me to say . I hope you won’t look down upon me . As you see, my family is not rich . We can only lead our peaceful life like this . ”

Xia Ning smiles, “That is silly . I was even poorer than you in the past . However, we are similar in one thing . I was also active and cheerful . What I thought about every day was my own life and how to make myself happier . To marry someone like Rui was totally out of my imagination . ”
“Sister Xia, you deserve to have the best things in the world! You are such a kind person…”
“All right . Don’t flatter me . ” Xia Ning interrupts, “We are alone here . So, let’s just be honest . ”
“Hum . You may ask me anything . I will answer honestly . ”
“OK . ” Xia Ning hesitates, “Jing Shu, I have just known you recently . I notice that you like me quite much . Don’t tell me that it is because I am kind, nice or something alike . That sounds hypocritical . I want to hear the real reasons . ”
Jing Shu thinks for a while, “Sister Xia, are you not used to the way I treat you?”
Xia Ning rolls her eyes, wondering what the girl is thinking about .
“If you don’t tell me the truth, you don’t need to go to work tomorrow . ” Then, Xia Ning pretends that she is going to stand up .
“Oh . No! Sister Xia, don’t leave . I will tell you . ” Jing Shu stops Xia Ning at once, “I’ll tell you everything . Sister Xia, please don’t fire me again . ”
It works . Xia Ning turns serious and says in a deep voice, “Good . Go ahead . But I have to warn you . If I find you lie to me, you can’t go to work . ”
Jing Shu sticks out her tongue, “Sister Xia, four years ago, you worked at TIME weekly in B City, didn’t you?”
Xia Ning feels surprised, “Yes . I was not married with Rui yet at that time . ”
“On an evening, you gave a box of food to a dirty aunt, didn’t you?”

Xia Ning’s thought is drawn back to four years ago . She can’t remember clearly . But vaguely, it did happen .
“I can’t remember that . Maybe…yes?”
“Yes . That happened!” Jing Shu says decisively, “I saw it! My mom was hurt . She can’t think logically . She left home and got lost . She was out of home for some days . I looked for her everywhere and couldn’t find her . I was so worried . I crouched in the street and cried for some time . It had been a few days while my mom was unable to take care of herself . I didn’t know what would happen . ”
Jing Shu’s eyes turned red, “When I stopped crying . I lifted my head and saw someone at the corner of the wall . It looked like my mother . I was just going to run to her when I saw you buy a box of food . You took it to my mom and fed her . Sister Xia, do you know how I felt at that time? I was moved . In this indifferent world, who would care about a beggar? My mom was just like you . She is hypoglycemic . If you hadn’t fed my mom at that time, my mom would have starved in the street . ”
When she says so, Jing Shu wipes her tears . She tightly holds Xia Ning’s hand, “Sister Xia, you are really a kind person . You are the most important benefactor in my life . I was always thinking about how to repay you . I tried to find you, but failed . Then, I went to the US to study . After I came back, I saw you in the newspaper and learned something about you . I at once went to World Era Weekly for the interview . I wanted to stay with you and help you at work! Even if it might take my whole lifetime . But I was afraid that you might find out that I came to you for repaying you and didn’t want to have me…”
Jing Shu pauses . She stealthily glances at Xia Ning, “Sister Xia, please don’t fire me . Will you? I came to you not only for repaying you, but also for two other reasons . Just like what I said in the interview, I really want to work in the World Era Weekly . I love the news industry . The second reason is that I think you are really a kind person . To work under you is a great blessing for me . I always believe that you are a savior from the heaven for my mother and me . I will surely work hard . Sister Xia, please don’t be suspicious of me again . ”
Xia Ning hears Jing Shu’s speech . She is moved by a mixture of feelings .
As the saying goes, we should repay the kindness of a drop of water with a spring . Xia Ning is truly experiencing it .
Before Jing Shu told the whole story, she couldn’t remember it clearly . Now, she recalls everything .
On that evening, it was rainy . She didn’t bring an umbrella with her . So, she stayed in the company until the rain stopped . Then, she met Jing Shu’s mother . At that time, Aunt Ling was wet all over . She was searching in the rubbish bin and put whatever she could find into her mouth . Xia Ning saw it clearly . It was the symptom of glucopenia . So, she didn’t hesitate . She went to buy a box of food for the Aunt . She was afraid that the aunt couldn’t hold the spoon . So, she fed her spoon by spoon…
When she left, she gave the aunt some money . The next day, when she went to the same place, the aunt had left .
So, this is the truth . The Aunt is Jing Shu’s mother .
Xia Ning holds Jing Shu’s hand . She gives a sigh, “You silly girl . Because of this, you still come back to me after being bullied . Is it so important?”

“Yes!” Jing Shu forcefully nods, “Sister Xia, my mom turned sick because she was angry with my father . I saw by myself that my father stayed with another woman . My mom can’t withstand the shock and got sick . My father abandoned my mother and me . But I want to have my mother! To me, the most important person in my life is my mom, and then you . So, I keep telling myself that I have to work hard and lead a happy life . I won’t let my father look down upon me!”
“Sure . ” Xia Ning holds out her hand to wipe the tears on Jing Shu’s face . She feels moved . The girl is so strong that she feels compassion for her . She says, “Don’t worry . Everything will be all right . You will surely meet someone who will cherish you and love you, just like my husband to me . As long as you keep your faith, you will have a happy life . ”
Jing Shu smiles, “I was always thinking so . This is why I say that you are a very kind person . However, Sister Xia, you make me tell the truth . I am not telling the story to beg for your mercy . It is a matter of work and life . It is not to be done by pretending to be miserable . Sister Xia, I am capable at work . I will definitely work well at my position . Sister Xia, please don’t fire me . Will you?”
Jing Shu talks and goes back to the topic . Xia Ning helplessly smiles, while Jing Shu feels most worried about Xia Ning’s being helpless .
“If you don’t cause any serious problems, I surely won’t fire you . Is that OK?”
“OK!”
They talk for one whole hour inside the bedroom . Till Aunt Ling sends them the sweet soup with green beans, Xia Ning notices the time .
It is almost five in the afternoon .
“Sister Xia, Mr . Yi will come to pick you up at half past five . You may have some sweet soup first . Is it OK to ask Mr . Yi to come here to pick you up after you have the sweet soup?”
Xia Ning shakes her head, “I drove here . I will drive home later . ”
Xia Ning takes out her phone and calls Yi Yunrui .
“OK . I see . I will get dinner ready and wait for you at home . ” Yi Yunrui hangs up . He turns to Zhang Hai, “Go back to the military compound . ”
Zhang Hai feels confused, “Commander, aren’t we just in front of Jing Shu’s home? Why don’t you simply ask Mrs . Yi to come out . Why do we drive around unnecessarily?”
Yi Yunrui glances at Zhang Hai, “Boy, you get stupider and stupider . Should the wrongdoers announce his doing? Didn’t I do anything wrong? Do you forget the hair issue?”
Zhang Hai feels shocked . He understands at once . He responds in a loud voice, “Yes, Sir!”
No matter how kind a woman may be, when faced with the man she loves, she tends to be suspicious .
Fifteen minutes later, the car enters the military compound . Zhang Hai parks the car and stops the engine . But he finds that the commander doesn’t mean to get off the car . He seems to be thinking about something .
After quite a while, Yi Yunrui is still quiet . Zhang Hai asks, “Commander, do you have any instructions?”
“Zhang Hai, this time, you don’t need to go to Beijing with me . ”
As if he hears the thunder in a sunny day, Zhang Hai feels nervous at once, “Commander, did I do anything wrong? Please tell me . I will make the correction . I promise that it will never happen again…”
“What are you thinking about?” Yi Yunrui feels helpless, “I tell you to stay to do other things . ”
