“Sorry, Youyou. Today, mommy… lost her job, so…”

Upon hearing this, Youyou, astonished, looked at her with widened eyes. “Why? Did mommy do something wrong?”

Yun Shishi shook her head, stroking his hair. “No… Mommy will go search for a job tomorrow. Mommy is so competent; I’ll definitely find a job with a higher pay! From then on, mommy will take you to eat Xiaolongbao every day!”

“Okay…” Youyou’s eyes drooped as he nodded obediently. When Yun Shishi was not paying attention, he hid the parent’s letter in his hand behind his back, not letting her see it. He then lifted his head and said while smiling, “Mommy, let’s go home!”

Yun Shishi, who did not see his little movement, was unaware of what he had hidden away.

This was the case until a few days later….

After dinner, Youyou obediently cleared up the utensils. Placing a small stool in the kitchen, his small hands washed the dishes with warm water in a clumsy yet focused manner.

He was so considerate and knew to help Yun Shishi around the house that he did not seem to only be a six-year-old child.

Yun Shishi rummaged through the shelves and found an outdated vintage phone. She inserted a phone card in and turned it on. Seeing a few missed calls from Youyou’s form teacher, she then returned the call.

The form teacher received her call and informed her about a spring trip to the safari, which was organized by the kindergarten. The parent’s letter had been distributed a few days prior, but Youyou had yet to hand in his for submission. Thus, she called Yun Shishi to ask for her consent.

Yun Shishi was a little shaken, as she truly did not have knowledge of this matter. Thus, behind her son’s back, she secretly rummaged through his small bag. Only then did she see the form mentioned by the teacher.

On the other end of the phone, the form teacher conversed in a somewhat cautious manner, seemingly afraid to say anything inappropriate, “Forgive me for being straightforward; Youyou is really looking forward to this spring trip with the other children. Furthermore, the amount to pay is not a lot… Are you perhaps having any financial difficulties?”

Yun Shishi hurriedly denied, “Of course, not! I’ll submit this form along with the fee tomorrow!”

Yun Shishi hung up the phone with a complex expression. Skimming through the form, she then signed her name on it with a pen.

Disheng Financial Group, otherwise known as Mu Group.

Mu Wanrou entered the CEO’s office, yet Mu Yazhe was not present. His accompanying assistant, Aaron, who was in the midst of placing a thick pile of documents on Mu Yazhe’s table, noticed Mu Wanrou’s arrival and promptly lowered his head in greeting.

“Madam.”

“Um,” she hummed in response. Sweeping her eyes around the office, she looked at him and asked, “Where is the CEO?”

He replied respectfully, “Oh, boss is not in office at the moment.”

“Where did he go?”

“There’s an investment project between Mu Group and Yayuan Group in the afternoon. As to when he will be back, I currently do not know.”

“If this is so…” She trailed off as she caught sight of the thick pile of documents laid on the table. She went over and held some up. Lifting her head, she gestured at them to him, “What are these?”

Aaron went stiff. He hesitated for a moment before giving his reply, “Documents containing the information that boss ordered me to gather yesterday.”

“Information? I should be able to take a look, right?” she probed.

Aaron did not answer and merely lowered his head to ponder. Mu Wanrou did not pay attention to him. She, the Mu family’s young mistress, was the future wife of the CEO. Why could she not go over her future husband’s things? Therefore, without another word, she removed the seal and carefully took out the documents.
