Shi Luoluo shook her head, “Huanhuan will come to pick me up.”
Su Wanwan was taken aback, “Eh, isn’t Huanhuan your mom?”
“Huanhuan is my sister.”
The little girl talked candidly, not seeming to be lying at all.
Su Wanwan was a bit confused.
Every time parent-teacher meetings, or any incidents occurred, it was Shi
Huan who hurried to school. Was she just Shi Luoluo’s sister?
**
At the gate of the X District compound.
Shi Huan put down her phone.
What’s going on?
She had made so many calls, but Luoluo just wouldn’t answer.
Checking the time, it was already past the agreed three o’clock.
Could the kid be playing around like mad?
Left without a choice, since the compound gate was heavily guarded and ordinary people weren’t allowed in, she could only continue to wait at the entrance.
About ten minutes later, Shi Huan picked up her phone again, only to find out…
“Sorry, the number you have dialed has been turned off.
Turned off?
Shi Huan rushed forward.
“Stop!” A guard at the gate intercepted her, “What are you doing here?
His voice was loud and demanding.
“I’m here to look for someone.”
“Who?”
“I’m looking for…” Shi Huan thought for a moment, “Mr. Huo Yuanshan.”
The guard looked at her, “What is your relationship with him?”
-My sister went to his house for a visit, but she’s not answering her phone. I’m worried about the kid…”
She hadn’t finished speaking when the guard interrupted, “We do not allow entry to anyone without a contact method.
“But it’s urgent…”
“Not allowed!”
“Can we compromise?”
“No!”
“Can I see Elder Chu then? I have his contact.”
At the guard’s gesture, she dialed Elder Chu’s number.
The old man was cooperative and immediately agreed to help when he heard she needed to find someone.
The guard took the phone.
After a brief conversation, he allowed her entry, “Go on in.
Shi Huan nodded, “Thank you.”
“Hold on.”
A cold and arrogant female voice suddenly rang out from behind.
Chu Jingyi closed the car door, and strode over in her high heels, “What do you need my grandfather for?”
“I need to report a matter concerning Master Chu to the old man.
“Ha.” Chu Jingyi scoffed, “You had to come all the way here just for the minor matter of arranging a date for my brother?
Shi Huan remained unmoved, “Master Chu’s birthday is approaching, and being nearly thirty, his personal affairs are his current priority. The old man is very concerned about this…”
-Oh please,” Chu Jingyi cut her off, laughing, “How your tongue has grown more silver with the years. I see my brother has cultivated you well. Who would have thought that a high school graduate who didn’t even have a diploma could become Nancheng’s number one secretary?”
“Miss Chu, I have other matters to attend to, so I’ll be leaving first.”
“Hold on.” Chu Jingyi interjected again, her tone haughty and nonchalant, “Did
I say you could leave?”
“Miss Chu?” Shi Huan looked at her, “Do you own this compound?”
-I don’t own it, but since my grandfather is not home, don’t even think about using the guard to let you in.” Chu Jingyi’s smile was provocative.
The guard nearby heard these words and his face became serious and tense immediately.
Shi Huan showed no expression, only her hands clenched tight involuntarily. “Actually, if you really want to go in, I might let you.” Chu Jingyi suddenly said. Shi Huan replied evenly, “Then, may I ask Miss Chu, how can I go in?”
Chu Jingyi smiled lazily, “Resign.”
Shi Huan’s gaze wavered for a moment.
“I don’t like you around Ahuang. If you promise me that you’ll resign from your position tomorrow, I can let you in now. How’s that? Is the person you’re looking for important? Or is Ahuang more important? Choose.”
Shi Huan didn’t say anything, merely clenched her fists tighter.
■■So unwilling? Shi Huan, I didn’t know you were so ambitious. You think that because Ahuang brought you as his companion to my grandfather’s birthday, you have a chance to fly on a high branch and become a phoenix?” Chu Jingyi lowered her voice, “A wild chicken will always be a wild chicken. What I despise the most is someone who, despite being covered in muck, still wants to wade into clear water…”
“Secretary Shi!”
Chu Jingyi was stunned.
Shi Huan immediately turned around.
Su Wenwen was walking towards them with a smile, “Why haven’t you picked up Luoluo yet? The little girl is getting anxious. Let’s go in together.”
Shi Huan looked at her, “Mrs. Huo…”
Before she could react, Su Wenwen had already taken her wrist. She then turned to Chu Jingyi, “Miss Chu, I heard that you just gave a lecture at our school a few days ago, about… how to become an outstanding woman? I was too busy to attend then, but today, I finally have the chance to see.” Having said that, she smiled sarcastically, took Shi Huan’s hand, and left.
Chu Jingyi stood there, her eyes coldly contracting.

Upon entering the compound, Shi Huan withdrew her hand, “Thank you, Mrs. Huo.”
“You’re welcome.” Su Wenwen released her hand with a smile, “By the way, take down my phone number.”
“Alright.” Shi Huan took out her phone.
Looking at Shi Huan, Su Wenwen noticed that her hand, holding the phone, was small and white, her skin as white as jade.
She couldn’t help but ask, “Secretary Shi, how old are you this year?”
“Twenty-four.”
“So young.” Su Wenwen nodded.
Indeed, if Secretary Shi was only twenty-four, how could she have a daughter as big as Luoluo?
Unless she got pregnant at eighteen…
**
Shi Huan was not a talkative person. She answered Su Wenwen’s questions crisply and directly, responding only when asked.
By the time they reached the Huo residence, Shi Luoluo was already dressed and waiting at the door.
Fu Ziyang was standing next to her.
The two children looked adorable and pleasing to the eye.
“Huanhuan!” Upon seeing Shi Huan, Shi Luoluo rushed over in joy..
