Huo Lianqing's face turned slightly red as she gently pushed away An Bowen.

You're not going to the company?" His tone was like a wife urging her husband. It seemed that An Bowen was in a good mood as he grabbed Huo Lianqing's waist and walked out. An Bowen's car had been driving for a long distance when Huo Lianqing finally went upstairs. "Her daughter was standing in the hall. Huo Lianqing smiled at her. With a cold expression, she turned her head and went into her room.

Huo Lianqing was stunned for a moment before she gave a self-deprecating smile. Do you think being a mistress can make people roll their eyes at you? It just so happened that Aunt Wang came in from outside. When she saw the look in their eyes, she quickly ran over.

"Oh, Miss Huo, don't blame her for being a child who doesn't understand anything!" For the past few days, her attitude towards Huo Lianqing had been getting better and better. She was no longer expressionless like a log when she first came to live here. Perhaps it was because he had recently become a favorite, but it turned out that this place was similar to the old era's mansion. Seeing that his concubine had been spoiled, the servants would always side with her.

"It's okay, Cui He, right? I like her a lot." Huo Lianqing shrugged and smiled.

"This child has never been sensible since he was young, don't lower yourself to her level." Aunt Wang said with a bit of embarrassment.

"School is starting, does she want to go back to school?" Huo Lianqing asked.

Sister Wang's expression darkened a little as she forced a smile at Huo Lianqing.

"Miss Huo, I'm going to work." With that, he left in a hurry.

Huo Lianqing frowned. She turned around and walked towards the room that Cui He had just entered. The door wasn't locked so she pushed it open. The furnishings were simple: two single beds, a closet, a table, nothing else.

This room should belong to Aunt Wang and her daughter. Perhaps there was someone else living on the other bed. The room was not too big, about ten meters or so. After removing two beds and a table, there was almost nothing left in the wardrobe.

Aunt Wang's daughter, Cui He, was sitting at the table, reading a book. Huo Lianqing's entrance seemed to have no effect on her. Huo Lianqing quietly walked behind her and took a glance at her book. It turned out that she was studying. It was a high school textbook.

There was also a diary in front of her. It was filled with words. She only raised her head when she felt the breathing of the people around her.

"Are you reading a book?" Huo Lianqing tried to talk to her, but she gave Huo Lianqing a reluctant grunt. Huo Lianqing pulled out a chair and sat beside her with a smile as she looked at the book in her hands.

"You really like studying. I think you also like studying when you're your age, but …" Huo Lianqing paused for a moment before she smiled.

"Now that you have a book to read, you should treasure it. You must not let down on such a good time." Huo Lianqing sighed as she laid on the table.

Cui He's expression was a bit stiff. She didn't say anything and put down the book in her hands and wrote something on it.

"You don't seem to like me?" Seeing that Cui He didn't say anything, Huo Lianqing took the initiative to start a conversation with her.

"What are you doing here?" Cui He asked very directly.

Huo Lianqing widened her eyes. She was stunned for half a minute before she lowered her gaze.

"I have no choice. In short, I have a reason, but I don't want to …"

"I think you're enjoying yourself. In our hometown, this kind of woman would get scolded by everyone pointing at her back. " This was the longest conversation she had with Huo Lianqing. Huo Lianqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"But he's not married. I'm not the kind of woman who destroys marriages." Huo Lianqing tried her best to explain.

"Aiyo, what are you talking about with Miss Huo? "You damned girl!" It was unknown when Aunt Wang came in, but she pointed at Cui He at the door and scolded her.

"Aunt Wang, it's alright. We're chatting." Huo Lianqing quickly explained that she was very happy to find someone who could talk to her like that in such a big house.

"Miss Huo, it's better if you go back to your room. This is not the place for you to stay." Wang Shishi maintained her bitter guacamole as she spoke.

"It's okay, I like to talk to her. "Aunt Wang, you also have prejudice against me?" Huo Lianqing teased. She had never cared about the opinions and gazes of others because she was the only one who knew her true purpose in life. Therefore, she didn't feel ashamed of herself for doing so.

"As soon as I saw her studying, I thought of myself. "She should be going back in a few days. School is about to start." Huo Lianqing said with a smile.

"She …" She won't go back, so stay here with me. "What's the use of studying? What's the use of studying with a girl?" She lowered her head, unable to conceal the grief in her eyes.

"Why can't a woman study? She doesn't like to read, so just let her read on. What she likes to do so much, why don't you let her do it? " Huo Lianqing said excitedly.

"There's no way for her to study at home …" Aunt Wang tried to explain.

"Because of the money?" I'll help you. Let her read it herself. " Only then did Huo Lianqing realize what had happened. It was because they were financially and economically difficult that they were able to achieve such a feat.

"No, she can't go home. You have to stay here with me. How expensive is it for Shanghai to study? "Furthermore, she doesn't even have an account …" Aunt Wang asked a series of questions.

"Why can't I go back? Is there no one else at home? " Huo Lianqing asked with a frown on her face.

"Her father was outside blocking the way, looking for a woman. The room has been sold by him. He's in jail right now, and there's no one left for Ninny to go back to. I can't be at ease if she's by herself there. Just let her stay here with me … " It was at this time that Aunt Wang revealed her family's situation. She was a man who did not work, only ate, drank and gambled all day long.

A rich man could be unrestrained and loose, and a man without money could be a beast, Huo Lianqing thought to herself.

"So it's like that. I can help her study in the school and study here." Huo Lianqing said very generously.

"Aiya, how can that be? "How can I let Miss Huo …" Aunt Wang quickly refused, while Cui He looked at Huo Lianqing with a different expression.

"Don't worry, my money is all clean. You can relax and use it. After you finish reading the book, you will have a job, and then you can slowly return it to me. I'm not giving it to you for nothing. You have to study diligently, or at least go to university. " Huo Lianqing said to Cui He, who was looking at her with her big eyes.

"Oh, thank you, Miss Huo." Her eyes also softened a lot as she looked at the two of them and smiled happily.

"You don't have to thank me. I only placed my desire to study on her. As long as she studies properly, everything will be fine."

"You're a good person." Cui He suddenly raised her head and said to Huo Lianqing.

"Thank you for your praise!" Huo Lianqing smiled.

"Cui He, you're not allowed to talk to Miss Huo like this. Quickly thank Miss Huo!" Sister Wang scolded her on the side.

"No problem, can we be friends now?" Huo Lianqing asked.

"Sure."

Huo Lianqing let out a breath of relief. She turned around and went upstairs. She suddenly felt that she could help others by herself. She was very happy. She believed that Cui He's character must be the same as hers since she had a friend to chat with in such a big house.

Ambowen's office

"What's the schedule for today?" Ambowen asked the secretary as he casually looked at the document in his hand.

"Director An has a meeting at 10 o'clock this morning, and has a meeting with Director Han at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. Tonight …"

"Is there anything else tonight? "Cancel!" Without waiting for the young lady to finish speaking, Ambrose interrupted her.

The secretary girl stood there, stunned, looking at him. She was at a loss for words.

"Director An, it's Director Wang who wants to meet you tonight. Do you think so? " The secretary carefully reminded her.

"Push it off!" An Bowen spoke with a resolute tone. The secretary knew his temper and didn't dare to say anything else. She could only withdraw.

An Bowen picked up the phone and placed his finger on a string of numbers. He hesitated for a moment, but then he lightly tapped it.

"Hello, sir, what's the matter?" The person who picked up the call wasn't Huo Lianqing, but An Bowen. He had been considering if he should install a phone in her room, so that when he called, Huo Lianqing might get it.
