“So… Are you also pitying me?” Huo Yanyan softly asked .
“Call it pity, call it sympathy, either way, you’re not doing well right now, and you have a child to take care of… I don’t know how well you would do if you come to work at GK, but you would be doing a lot better than you are right now . I just want to help . If you dislike relying on others, just pretend that I didn’t say anything . ”
“I know… I just, nevermind . I’ll think about it, thank you…” Huo Yanyan looked down at her watch .
“I have to go . ”
“Mhm . ” Huo Mian nodded .
“Thank you, Huo Mian . ”
“You said that already . ” Huo Mian smiled .
“I’ll think about your advice . ”
“Mhm, you can ask me if you need money . Of course, I am only lending it to you . You have to pay it back later…” Huo Mian knew that Huo Yanyan had high self-esteem, so she didn’t treat her like a beggar .
“I know . ”
After Huo Yanyan left, Huo Mian hastily drove home .
– South Hill Manor –
Tonight for dinner, their entire family was present, which was quite rare . Qin Chu sat in the middle of the twins to care for them, and Yang Meirong and Zhixin sat on the other side .
When Huo Mian got home, it wasn’t too late yet .
“Wow, Mommy is finally home . I’m so hungry . ” Little Bean waved .
“You didn’t have to wait, you should eat when you’re hungry . We don’t have guests anyways,” Huo Mian laughed .
“How could we do that? Mommy, you’re working so hard to support our entire family, we have to wait for our breadwinner,” Little Bean immediately flattered her .
Luckily everybody was used to it . Huo Mian washed her hands and walked to the table . “I know, I know, you’re the best… How was golfing today?”
“It was great, I blackmailed Uncle Tang for a Haagen Daz . ” Little Bean smiled in satisfaction .
“Pudding, what about you?”
“Mommy, I had fun too,” Pudding obediently answered .
“Sweetie, when did they come back?”
“At noon . ”
“That’s so early, so you took care of them the entire afternoon? Thank you for the hard work . ”
“It wasn’t hard, you did all the hard work . Come and have some soup . ” Qin Chu prepared a bowl of pork soup for Huo Mian .
“Eh? Are you guys done showing off? I’m feeling personally attacked…” Zhixin complained .
“If you’re so annoyed at being single, why don’t you find a girlfriend then?” Yang Meirong scolded her son .
“I can’t just find a girlfriend . It’s not as easy as grocery shopping,” Zhixin argued .
“Eh? Uncle, you don’t have a girlfriend?” Little Bean asked .
“No, where did you see one?” Zhixin laughed .
“What about the box with the female necklace in your room?”
Zhixin was speechless…
“Qin Mumu, when did you sneak into my room?” Zhixin was mortified .
Pudding butted in, “Uncle, it doesn’t matter that Little Bean snuck into your room . What’s with the necklace?”
“Zhixin, you’re in a relationship?” After eating some rice, Huo Mian calmly looked at her brother .
“Uh, Sis, don’t listen to them . My necklace… It’s one of our new designs, I brought it back to study the pattern,” Zhixin guiltily lied .
“Uncle, your nose will grow if you lie,” Little Bean reminded .
“Uncle, I’ve seen all of GK’s products, and your necklace isn’t one of them . I think you designed it yourself . Are you not planning on telling us the truth? Mommy and Daddy are smart, so don’t lie . Otherwise, it would be very awkward if they see through it…” Pudding sympathetically looked at Zhixin .
“Are you really in a relationship?” Yang Meirong asked in a higher pitch .
