Xiao Jie thought to herself as she walked. It seemed like she still had to find a job, even if it was for a low salary. That way, it would confuse Shu Zimo even more. Perhaps...

There was a calculating look in her eyes. Maybe she could get a job through Shu Zimo.

Soon, she found a small suite. After that, she started flipping through the recruitment page of the newspaper. No matter what kind of job it was, she would first find one to do, the more bitter the better. Only then would she be able to arouse Shu Zimo's sympathy.

She knew that she was a little despicable like this, but if it wasn't for the surname Shu, then how could she be so tragic today? If it wasn't for the surname Shu, then she would be sitting in an institution of higher learning today.

Another two days passed, but Shu Zimo didn't call.

Xiao Jie was at a loss again. Had he pulled it out wrongly that day? Did she have to create a few more accidents?

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, a month had passed. Her nineteenth birthday was about to arrive, but she didn't have a clue.

After some thought, Xiao Jie decided to take a risk at the company where Shu Zimo worked.

If anything else was out of the question, he would just have to use a building. If he didn't have a college education, then it would be difficult to find a job.

It took Xiao Jie a lot of effort to find out about the restaurant that was ordered by the Shu family. She was surprised that when she went to apply for the job, she had already hired someone, and the salary was not low either.

It was her first day to deliver food to the Shu family. Xiao Jie was a little nervous, feeling like a child who had done something wrong. She felt like she was being watched wherever she went.

Fortunately, despite her nervousness, nothing went wrong. However, she was a bit depressed. She had thought things through too simply.

He thought he could see Shu Zimo as soon as he got close to his. He didn't expect Director Shu, who was so high up in the air, to be so close to him. Furthermore, Director Shu didn't eat a box of rice at all.

It had been a week since he'd given her the lunch box, but there was no sign of Shu Zimo, not even her slutty sports car.

She was a little discouraged, but she was He Xiaojie. She would not give up so easily.

His hard work paid off, and after half a month, he was finally able to see Boss Shu's face.

That afternoon, Xiao Jie pushed a cart and brought food to every floor. However, when she entered the hall, she saw Shu Zimo.

Originally, Shu Zimo, who had his head lowered, should not have noticed her, but this was a rare opportunity, how could Xiao Jie miss it?

An idea came to her mind. When she brushed past Shu Zimo again, she deftly pretended to twist her foot and fell to the side. The car tilted as well, and food spilled out from inside and 'luckily' was poured onto Shu Zimo's high-end suit.

"Sorry, sorry, I didn't mean to …"

The timid voice that sounded like a little white rabbit caused one's heart to ache uncontrollably.

Shu Zimo was about to fly into a rage, but the sound forced his anger down.

Furthermore, since the security guards were coming over, he had to maintain his image as Director Shu.

"What's going on with all of you?"

The moment the security guard arrived, he immediately said with a cold expression.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I accidentally slipped. I'm really sorry. Please forgive me, but I …"

As Xiao Jie apologized, she looked up at Shu Zimo, then ran off in a panic like a frightened rabbit.

"Halt, He Xiaojie, stop right there."

Shu Zimo was stunned for a moment. Then, as if he had realized something, he suddenly chased after his.

He was glad that if she hadn't sprained her ankle, he would have let her run away.

"Sorry, you got the wrong person."

She Xiaojie avoided her eyes and tried to cover her face with her hands.

"Xiao Jie, why are you avoiding me? "Why didn't you answer my phone?"

Shu Zimo no longer cared about the grease on his body and picked up Xiao Jie.

"Let me go, I still need to cook."

Little Jie struggled and refused.

"Security, go and inform the people who are eating in the restaurant that they are going to eat outside. When the meal comes back, I will reimburse them."

Shu Zimo said as he carried Jie into the elevator.

"Look at me. Where have you been this past half year?"

Shu Zimo looked at Xiao Jie's pale face. There was still no color left on it. It was not red enough, but it was still better than before.

"I... I'll arrange for the kids to come down and get me out of here. "

After entering the elevator, Xiao Jie stopped earning money and just asked Shu Zimo to let her off.

"Were you injured?"

Shu Zimo didn't let his go. He just stared at her right foot.

"It's fine. I'll go back and apply some safflower oil. Please let me down."

He Xiaojie was the cold and distant He Xiaojie, which made Shu Zimo feel very uncomfortable.

"Go quit your job and let me support you."

Shu Zimo's heart ached as he looked at her work clothes.

She must have been discriminated against everywhere in her search for a job. If she didn't have such a hard job, the thought of the various kinds of discrimination she might be subjected to would cause her heart to ache.

The various looks of discrimination and curses he had received from his mother had once again replayed themselves in his mind.

"Director Shu, please don't insult me. Although I am very humble, I still want to preserve my self-esteem."

Little Jie said with a cold expression.

Sure enough, a father must have a son. He wanted to take a woman in through his mouth.

"Xiao Jie, I've consulted, there are new medicines abroad, maybe..."

"Thank you for your kind intentions. This is my problem and I will settle it myself. Director Shu, please let me pass. I'm going out."

Xiao Jie pressed the button for the 12th floor and prepared to leave.

"Xiao Jie, can you not be so stubborn? How much money can you earn in a month by yourself? Is that money enough for you to eat medicine?"

Shu Zimo roared in anger.

Xiao Jie's face alternated between green and white as she glared at Shu Zimo.

"Director Shu, even if I were to beg for money, I would never be a mistress to any man. Please don't mention the word 'support' anymore, otherwise, we will be strangers in the future."

This was the first time Zimo saw Xiao Jie angry, although there were times when she was angry before, she had never been this angry before.

"I'm not keeping it, a boyfriend taking care of his girlfriend is like heaven and earth. Xiao Jie told me to take care of you."

Shu Zimo looked at Xiao Jie sincerely. This was the first time he had the impulse to take care of a woman.

Right now, he was willing to take care of her and accompany her. After today, he didn't know if he still had the courage to do so tomorrow.

"Shu Zimo, it's obvious that you've never cared about me. If you really had a heart, you should remember that eight months ago, I said that if I recovered, I would consider it. But now that you've said this, I feel that you're being generous, and that you're sympathizing with me."

Xiao Jie's eyes were filled with moisture. Although she had planned this long ago, she really realized now why it felt so uncomfortable.

"Xiao Jie, you need someone to take care of you."

Shu Zimo saw that Xiao Jie was about to cry and became anxious. He held her arm tightly, hoping that she would understand.

In the end, she was not Little Wan. She was not as strong as Little Wan, nor was she as persistent. Not to mention, her body was her fatal wound.

"Director Shu, thank you for your kind intentions. I can take care of myself, and as long as I can stand, as long as I still have the strength, I will not rely on the charity of others to live my life. If there comes a day when I don't even have the ability to take care of myself, then I will not implicate anyone."

Xiao Jie pushed Shu Zimo away and walked out of the elevator.

"It's not charity."

Shu Zimo chased after them and shouted loudly.

"I know it's not charity, it's sympathy, because I'm a patient, because there's no cure for this disease, because I'll die soon, right?"

Xiao Jie laughed weakly, but her smile made people's hearts ache, making them feel uncomfortable.

"No, that's not the case. I've been thinking about it for the past half year, maybe …"

"Perhaps I am already dead. Shu Zimo, please pretend that I am already dead. Please pretend that you never knew me."

After Xiao Jie said that, she ran away while covering her face. The absent-minded Shu Zimo did not notice that her legs were nimble.

In one breath, Xiao Jie ran down more than ten floors. If Shu Zimo still had his normal mind, if he was still awake, he would have been able to see through it.

No patient could go down more than ten floors in one breath. Even a normal woman wouldn't have this kind of stamina unless she was constantly exercising.

Unfortunately, Shu Zimo, who was recently flooded with sympathy, did not notice this. He staggered back to the office as if he had lost his soul. He did not even change his dirty clothes or eat anything.

In the afternoon, the listless Shu Zimo could not shake off Xiao Jie's sad face.

In the end, he just went to play with his nephew after work. Although his sister wasn't home, Zhao Kai was there, along with An An.

After chatting with Zhao Kai for a while, Shu Zimo became more energetic. With two big and one small, the three men sat on the ground and started to play checkers.

While the three men were enjoying themselves, the door was forcefully pushed open. A beautiful figure flashed past the three of them like a gust of wind and charged into the master bedroom.

'Bang! 'A loud sound was heard. The three of them finally woke up. That woman just now was Wan'er. It seemed like she was crying?

Two were small, one was small, three were men. Outside, they were being coaxed and coerced. Little Wan finally opened the door, and it turned out to be Wen Jingchen, that bastard, taking the fruit to threaten her.

With Shu Zimo's understanding of Wen Jingchen, since he had already spoken, even if he did not, he would probably do something tomorrow.

In order to avoid scaring An Xin, he decided to temporarily bring her back.

Moreover, he suddenly thought of an idea. Since Xiao Jie was adopted and took care of so many children, she must be very fond of children, and An An was so cute, perhaps he could coax her to be happy.

He picked up An An and called Xiao Jie as soon as he got in the car, but like before, she refused to answer.

"An An, today I'm going to take you to an aunt's house to play, okay?"

Shu Zimo was in an especially good mood. Although Xiao Jie didn't answer the phone, he could still go to her house by herself.

When the car drove to the elevator, they found out that Xiao Jie had moved and had no choice but to continue making calls.

"Shu Zimo, what do you want?"

From the other side of the phone, came Xiao Jie's shout. Hearing the roar, Shu Zimo was especially happy.

"Xiao Jie, can you do me a favor? My sister has some things to take care of, and I won't take care of my son. Could I trouble you to take care of it for me? "

Hearing Shu Zimo suddenly say that he had a child, Xiao Jie was shocked. She had been feeling depressed about how to get close to Shu Zimo these few days, but she didn't expect him to call her on his own accord this time.

"If you're not afraid that I'll kidnap the child, then send it over."

His voice became softer and his mood became better.

He told her the address, but she didn't expect him to arrive in half an hour. Seeing him get off the car with the child in his arms, Xiao Jie's heart softened for a moment.

Shu Zimo wasn't as bad as he thought he would be. Looking at his gentleness and love for her child, she even felt that this child was his.

"An An, hurry up and call me Auntie."

Carrying the child to Xiao Jie, Shu Zimo was smart enough to let An An call for help.

"Hello Auntie, Auntie is so beautiful."

Although this was her first time seeing him, An An's mouth was still very sweet.

Xiao Jie blushed. She knew that she was not very pretty, at most, she was above average. Furthermore, she had not used any fat on her yet, so how could she be so pretty? However, the words of a child made her very happy.

After sending off her little brothers and sisters, she had been very disappointed, especially when those children had left her with tears and reluctance.

"Here, let auntie carry him."

Xiao Jie stretched out her hands and took the child from Shu Zimo.

"This is my sister's child. Little Wan has some matters to attend to today, so I'll temporarily leave it to you."

Shu Zimo followed behind Xiao Jie into the house, with no intention of leaving.

"My house is small, so I can't squeeze into a big guy like you. I'll help you bring the children over, but you can come pick them up tomorrow."

Xiao Jie walked into the room. She rented a single room and it was very small. When Shu Zimo stepped inside, there was almost no space left.

"You live here?"

Shu Zimo stared at the small room in shock. To be honest, the bathroom in the house was even bigger than this.

"Mm, you can go back first."

"You don't even have a kitchen here. If An An is hungry, what would you eat?"

Shu Zimo looked around. His mind raced. He might as well use this opportunity to lure someone into his house.

"There's a public kitchen outside, and I can take him out to eat."

Xiao Jie was stunned, embarrassed.

"Xiao Jie, come to my house. Can you take it that I hire you to take care of An'an for me?"
