Zhao Chuning smiled and said, "I was recently transferred to a branch company to work as a secretary for the CEO, and my salary increased."
"The leader has changed?" Zhang Rong asked casually with concern: "How is the leader this time? Is he as easy to get along with as last time?"
Zhao Chuning was silent for a moment, and looked at Xiao Yimi. Fortunately, Xiao Yimi's personality was not inherited by him at all. If Xiao Yimi was an angel, then he was an out-and-out devil.
"Why aren't you talking?" Zhang Rong asked worriedly, "Is it difficult to approach? Is it embarrassing for you?"
"No." Zhao Chuning came back to his senses and shook his head. He didn't dare to tell the truth, so he just said lightly, "Leaders are more or less a little bit temperamental. As long as you don't make mistakes at work, it won't be difficult for you."
Zhang Rong nodded, feeling relieved.
When Zhao Chuning came in, her father Zhao Hen was cooking. The whole family was very happy that their daughter was back. Zhao Chuning wanted to help in the kitchen, but Zhang Rong pushed her out, "Just accompany Mimi, she is looking forward to your return."
Zhao Chuning was drawing with her child in the living room. He flipped through Yimi's notebook and felt a little sad when he saw the three words "Zhao Yimi" written in a slightly clumsy way.
In the past few years, in order to support her child, she had to go to Judea to work. However, because of this, she didn't know how much of Mimi's growth she had missed. As a mother, she didn't even know when she would learn to write her own name.
"Mommy, I can also write your name!" Seeing her in a daze, Xiaomimi immediately tried to get her attention back.
"Really? Our Mimi is so great?" Zhao Chuning imitated the sweet voice of a child and spoke to her. He put the notebook in front of her and said, "Come on, Mimi, write it for Mommy."
"Yes!" Xiaomi immediately took a pencil and happily lay on the coffee table to write. When she finished, Zhao Chuning looked at it and couldn't help laughing. It wasn't her name, just the two words "Mommy".
"Mommy, did I write it correctly?" Xiaomimi looked at her smiling face and felt a little unsure, so she scratched her head with the tip of a pencil.
"Yes, absolutely." Zhao Chuning praised her. She seemed to be encouraged and very happy, and raised her pretty chin proudly, "I can write a lot of characters, which were all taught by grandpa."
"Then Mommy will teach Mimi to write other characters, okay?"
"Okay." She responded crisply.
Zhao Chuning taught Xiaomimi to write the three characters "Zhao Chuning". When she came to the character "Chu", the little girl was so embarrassed that she almost cried and wanted to strike several times.

After dinner, Zhao Chuning and Xiaomi were drawing in the room when they heard a noise outside. Zhao Chuning let Xiaomi play alone and opened the door to go out.
When the aunt next door saw her, her eyes lit up.
"I told you that Chu Ning is back. You two lied to me." Aunt looked at Zhao Hen and Zhang Rong unhappily. Zhang Rong winked at Chu Ning. Before Chu Ning could figure out what was going on, she heard Aunt say, "Chu Chu, Aunt has always wanted to talk to you about marriage. I kept asking your parents to call you to talk about it, but they refused to mention it."
"Our Chuchu doesn't want to get married now." Zhang Rong refused without thinking.
"Why don't you get married? You're already 26, how old is Mimi!" Aunt said, "The guy I introduced is not bad either. Chuchu, that's Lao Hu from the next town. His family is a wealthy one. They also have a house in the city, and..."
"We don't want the house even if we have one!" Zhao Hen was usually friendly, but today he looked unhappy. "He's already in his forties, almost my age! Besides, he doesn't look like a good person!"
"Old Zhao, don't ask for too much! People don't mind Chuchu having a child and a shady family background, but you still complain about her looks? What's wrong with being old? Only the old know how to care for others. Mimi's father is not very old, what's the point? He still doesn't want your Chu Ning."
Zhao Chuning felt like something stabbed his heart.
Zhang Rong's neck turned red. "Who do you say has a dirty background? Who says they don't want our Chuchu? That old Hu, is he a good guy? He beat away my last wife, and he had an affair with the wife before that! I say, can you just stop worrying about our family's affairs? You bring everything to my daughter, and introduce all kinds of men to my daughter. Our Chuchu will never marry such a man in her life!"
When the aunt heard this, she became unhappy too. She pinched her throat and said in a sinister tone, "Oh, I've come here twice, and you really think your Chuchu is a hot commodity! I'm just enthusiastic. I saw that your Xiao Mimi was pitiful, so I came to be your matchmaker. Do you think others will intervene? It's really a dog biting Lu Dongbin! Your family has given birth to a child, so it's far from being suitable for her!"
Zhang Rong was so angry that her chest hurt.
Zhao Chuning pushed the person out with a cold face.
The man struggled: "You have no manners at all, pushing customers away like this. And if someone has some manners, they wouldn't come back with a big belly!"
"Aunt San, if you think that man is good, you can keep him for yourself. Didn't you want to find a second love two years ago? I have given birth to a child, so I am not worthy of him. You haven't given birth yet, so it's OK!"
"Zhao Chuning! You... you are such an ungrateful person!" The aunt was so angry that her face turned pale. She had always been troubled by the fact that she had no children. It was natural that she felt uncomfortable when she was criticized for this.
Chu Ning slammed the door shut without any hesitation. She stood there, taking two breaths before she recovered.
Zhao Hen said: "Chu Chu, go get medicine for your mother quickly."
She came back to her senses, took the medicine, and poured water for her mother. Zhang Rong was still angry, and Zhao Hen was comforting her.
Zhao Chuning's phone was ringing like crazy. She was upset because of the noise and her mother's poor health. When she answered the phone, she heard Chen Li say, "Sister Chuning, Mr. Tang has been looking for you."
At this moment, hearing the words "Mr. Tang", Zhao Chuning felt a pain in his heart, and unspeakable sadness kept coming out.
She took a deep breath and said, "Just tell him that he can't contact me."
"Where are you?" Unexpectedly, Tang Yi's voice came from the other end of the phone. The three words were cold and in fact a question.
Zhao Chuning was slightly stunned. For a moment, he didn't know what he was angry about. When he heard his voice, his nose was sour. He couldn't help but raise his voice a little, "Boss Tang, now is my rest time. I don't need to report my position to you. I have handed over the work to Chen Li and others. Their abilities are no worse than mine."
"What on earth are you doing?" Tang Yi's voice was low, and suppressed anger could be faintly heard.
Zhao Chuning looked at his mother who was still rubbing her chest and his father who was still furious, and felt even more guilty and uncomfortable in his heart.
