When the other day went to work, Su Jianjian couldn't help but ask Gao Yu.

"Secretary Gao, how much do you think a month's salary will be given to you as an assistant in the Mr. Ye?"

Gao Yu thought about it, "There should be more than ten thousand."

"Over ten thousand?"

Although Su Jianjian didn't have much of a grasp on mortal money, he knew that there were more than ten thousand of them in the mortal world.

Therefore, she knew that Ye Sijue was lying to her.

"Then see how much I have."

Gao Yu looked at her, hesitated for a moment, and said: "That's hard to say, but, if you …"

"What about me?" Su Jianjian asked.

Gao Yu had just said that if you were to, it would probably depend on Director Ye's mood.

But before he could finish his sentence, he saw Ye Sijue walking over, and immediately shut his mouth.

Su Jianjian's back was facing away from him, so she naturally did not know that Ye Sijue was walking over, she saw that Gao Yu did not reply, and anxiously said: "Secretary Gao, quickly tell me, if it was me, how much wages would I normally pay?"

Just as she finished her sentence, a cold voice was heard, "If it was you, you wouldn't have gotten a single cent!"

When Su Jianjian heard this voice, she immediately shrunk her neck and could not help but look towards Gao Yu for help.

Gao Yu immediately dodged to the side.

Only now did Su Jianjian have no choice but to turn around and face Ye Sijue alone.

"That... Night... Mr. Ye, I was just casually saying it, don't mind it. "

Su Jianjian's face was filled with the desire to live.

"Casually?" Ye Sijue blinked. "Su Jianjian, have you finished the work I gave you, and are just slacking off here!"

His voice suddenly rose an octave, Su Jianjian immediately dodged to the side.

Ye Sijue looked at her figure that slipped away faster than a loach and the corner of his mouth twitched.

Ever since Su Jianjian found out that he was poor enough to need help in the restaurant, he decided to help Cheng Jiajia.

Although she did not manage to borrow money from Ye Sijue, she still decided to help Cheng Jiajia with his work whenever she had time in the future.

Thus, she took advantage of the time Ye Sijue didn't need to accompany him to socialize with others, and headed over to that small restaurant.

She walked in and saw Cheng Jiajia washing dishes in the kitchen.

At this time, Cheng Jiajia was wearing an apron around her waist, and stood in front of the dishwashing pool. Her originally thin figure looked even thinner, and Su Jianjian could not bear to look at her, after all she used to be so arrogant and despotic, but now she suddenly dropped into the state of washing dishes. Although Cheng Jiajia did not feel anything, Su Jianjian still felt a bit of heartache.

She paused for a moment before quickly walking over. "Jiajia, let me help you."

With that said, she rolled up her sleeves and extended her hand into the sink on the other side.

Cheng Jiajia was a little surprised to see Su Jianjian, "Jian Jianjie, why have you come?"

Su Jianjian took his brush and washed the bowls Cheng Jiajia had placed inside, then replied: "I'm fine, I came to visit you."

Hearing that, Cheng Jiajia's heart felt warm, and he laughed: "Jian Jianjie, you're such a nice person."

Just like that, the two chatted while laughing. Soon, all the dishes in the kitchen were washed clean.

When they were done, the two climbed up to the rooftop and sat down on a small bench.

Looking at the stars in the sky, Su Jianjian asked.

"Jiajia, do you miss home?"

Cheng Jiajia was silent for a moment, then said, "To be honest, I didn't think of it at the beginning, but now I think of it."

Hearing her words, Su Jianjian turned and looked over.

"Have you ever complained about your father?"

Hearing Su Jianjian's question, Cheng Jiajia raised his eyes, looked at the stars in the sky, and spoke slowly: "To be honest, I was complaining at the beginning, but at that time, I always felt like I was a puppet being controlled."

Saying this, Cheng Jiajia sighed, "You might not be able to imagine, but everything that has happened to me since I was young, from me dressing to eating, all the way to my studies, they have all been arranged by my father, and I cannot raise any objections, otherwise, I would be locked in the little black room."

"Little Black Room?" Su Jianjian did not understand.

Cheng Jiajia said, "Yes, Little Black Room, as its name implies, that kind of dark place. That place is very lonely and scary, and at the beginning, I would always cry and beg them to let me out, but, later on, I would gradually stop crying and make a ruckus to get out, and I even got used to it, because I knew that even if I didn't resist, in the future, my life would still be like a little black room, and I wouldn't be able to get any light."

A flash of desolation passed through Cheng Jiajia's eyes. This was a desolation that Su Jianjian could not understand.

"So, when I first left home, my father never thought of me at all, because in his eyes, I have always been a very obedient child. Even when I was locked in that small dark room, I wouldn't cry, so my father never thought that I would suddenly resist him, resist until I ran away from home."

Speaking to here, Cheng Jiajia could not help but chuckle. She probably never thought that she would actually run away from home one day.

"What about your mother?" This was something that Su Jianjian had been wondering the whole time.

Hearing this, Cheng Jiajia became silent. She lowered her head, her pretty eyebrows knitted together, and then said after a long time, "My mother passed away when I was born. I have never seen her before."

Seeing that he had brought about someone's sadness, Su Jianjian felt guilty, "Sorry, I shouldn't have asked such a thing.

Su Jianjian laughed, "It's alright, I've been used to these since I was young, even if you didn't mention it, it would still be a fact."

Cheng Jiajia's face was full of sorrow, a type of sorrow that was full of loneliness.

Su Jianjian couldn't understand Cheng Jiajia's feelings, because ever since she could remember, she had been by herself. She wandered in the sky alone for a long time before finally being able to meet Eldest Brother Yue.

She never knew where she came from, nor did she know who her parents were, nor did she even know where she really was.

There was even a time when, due to her frequent being struck by lightning, she was suspected by everyone in Yue Lao's Palace of being a piece of wood.

Thinking back to it now, she and Cheng Jiajia were really similar to each other.

Thinking of this, Su Jianjian could not help but sigh.

"However, Jian Jianjie, I don't hate my father anymore. During this time when I came out, I had looked at the warmth of my favors, and also suffered quite a bit, of course, these hardships weren't much, but they were already living a much better life than I have in these eighteen years. Also, the most important thing is that I understand the difficulty of living, and also understand why father had to arrange everything for me, because if I left him, I really wouldn't be able to do anything, and he would only want to arrange my entire life because he was afraid of suffering a setback.

After saying all that, Cheng Jiajia could not help but chuckle.

"Jian Jianjie, do you think I am being weird? When I was by his side, I didn't feel that he treated me well at all, but instead left. Only when he pressured me and restricted me did I understand how nice he treated me."

Su Jianjian shrugged her shoulders, she didn't really understand human emotions either.
