  Ou Ming’s heart skipped a beat when he heard that.

  Ou Ming looked Yu Lili in the eye, and without any change in facial expression, he replied, “I just stepped out. I’ll be back in a moment. There’s a lot that’s still not done.”


  “Really?”


  “Really.”


  Jiao Ziqing remained suspicious of Ou Ming’s words and coldly declared, “I’d better not find out that you’re still together with that woman. Otherwise, you won’t have to come back to celebrate the New Year. Just die out there with that woman!”


  Xu Cheng, who was hearing the conversation from the side, felt his heart in his throat.

  Jiao Ziqing had really gone overboard with her words.

  It was terribly inappropriate to speak such inauspicious words, much less during the New Year. Since the olden days, it was a huge taboo for someone of the older generation to curse the younger generation in such a manner.

  Xu Cheng cleared his throat and asked, “Madam, aren’t you going overboard with your words? Master Ou is your son after all.”


  With the phone still at her ear, Jiao Ziqing glanced at Xu Cheng and seemed to guess something was amiss. Her expression darkened as she demanded, “Are you telling me you know he’s with that woman?”


  “I don’t.” Xu Cheng lowered his head. “But cursing your son this way isn’t too appropriate. Master Ou has been very busy lately. I hope that you can empathize with him.”


  Jiao Ziqing knew her son was busy. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have bothered to cook and deliver sweet snacks at this hour either.

  But the feeling of reaching the office and realizing he wasn’t around was quite unpleasant. This unpleasantness was exacerbated by the thought that her son could very possibly be with that cheap slut.

  Jiao Ziqing held on to her phone and continued her conversation with Ou Ming, “In any case, you’d better come home earlier today. Special Assistant Xu has a family too. You can’t make him work overtime along with you. Regardless of how important the work is, you’d better put it down and let Assistant Xu go home for the New Year.”


  When Ou Ming heard Jiao Ziqing’s instructions, he made an affirmative grunt, and said, “Got it. If there’s nothing else, I’m hanging up.”


  Jiao Ziqing snorted and hung up before Ou Ming had the chance to.

  After she hung up the phone, Jiao Ziqing fixed her eyes on the young assistant beside her and said, “I know that you are on good terms with my son. But I’m Ou Ming’s mother. I have the right to know what he’s up to. Special Assistant Xu, if you ever find out that he’s going to meet that woman, or if you have any news of her, I hope that you can let me know. You won’t go unrewarded.”


  Upon hearing her words, Xu Cheng smiled and bowed his head. “Yes, Madam. I will definitely report everything I know.”


  Jiao Ziqing was satisfied. She glanced at the snacks she was carrying and offered them up. “Have these snacks yourself. They’re good for the body.”


  She put the snack box on the table as she spoke. Then she turned and left.

  Xu Cheng watched the image of her retreating with a complicated expression. He glanced at the snack box she left behind and sent a message to Ou Ming: Madam seems to sense something. She told me to report to her any news I had of Miss Yu.

  When Ou Ming read the message, he replied: What did you answer?

  [Special Assistant Xu]: I agreed to it. But I didn’t tell her anything, and I don’t intend to.

  When Xu Cheng saw the reply, he put his phone down once again. He turned his head and saw a very obviously disappointed Yu Lili.

  Yu Lili lay on the bed and was watching him as he looked at her. Still stunned by the conversation, she forced a smile as her heart ached for Ou Ming.

  “Does your mother hate me that much?” she asked.
