I heard your uncle is a very important man in Jingzhou. He is doing especially well in the corporate world. If you can't survive in Yunzhou, we can seek shelter from your uncle in Jingzhou. I think it's a good option too.”
While Qiu Mu-Cheng put on her shoes, Han Li went on chattering nonstop.
She was at it again..
When Qiu Mu-Cheng heard the things that her mother said, she really had no words for her.
All these years, her mother's temper hadn't changed one bit.
Whenever she came into contact with the rich and the powerful, she always fawned on them and tried to reap some gain from them.
"But Mum, in order to succeed, you have to be capable. If you are incapable, no matter where you go, you will be unsuccessful. No matter who you run to, you will get looked down upon, just like Yingying's husband's family. They are a big family too, but so what? We got chased out before we managed to ask them for anything. Isn't the lesson we got from the Qius big enough? Do you still want to live under someone else's roof and worry about their opinions all the time?"
Qiu Mu-Cheng couldn't be bothered to say more to Han Li. She just retorted angrily before taking her purse and left for the office.
"Mu-Cheng, that's different."
"Mu-Cheng, let me finish what I want to say."
"Come back early tonight to welcome your uncle. Remember!"
Han Li's voice echoed down the entire estate's corridor.
"This girl is really getting out of hand. She refuses to listen even when I'm telling her to go somewhere better. It's exasperating."
After Qiu Mu-Cheng left, Han Li was still scolding her under her breath. Then she closed the door and went back into the house.
Ye Fan wanted to have a good rest today, but shortly after he lay down on the couch to watch TV, Lu Wen-Jing came lunging onto him and insisted that Ye Fan take her out to play.
"Let's go, Fan. It's my last day here and Dad will pick me up tonight. I won't get to see you and Mu-Cheng for a long time. Mu-Cheng can't take time out to accompany me, so why don't you take me out today instead?"
Ye Fan couldn't hold up against Lu Wen-Jing's whining and begging, so he could only give in and take her out for some fun.
Ye Fan changed quickly and left with Lu Wen-Jing.
But at the same time, thousands of miles over in Jingzhou, Zhou Sheng was in a car and had arrived in the suburbs of Jingzhou. His car pulled over at the standalone bungalow.
Zhou Sheng picked up his mobile phone to call the owner of the bungalow, "Young Master Ting, I'm here. Is everything ready, Young Master Ting? When can we make a move and go to Yunzhou?
"Yes, everything's ready. You're quite early. Wait outside first. Once I finish breakfast, we can go." The man's calm voice came from the other end of the line.
In reality, the bungalow owner didn't care about Zhou Sheng's situation at all.
He didn't promise to help Zhou Sheng because he feared his threats or was grateful to this subordinate. It was purely because his father had sent him to Yunzhou to settle some business matters.
