Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Hearing Su Yanyun’s gratitude, Du Mengmeng didn’t say a word. Behind her black-framed glasses, only a pair of equally black eyes was shining brightly as they stared at Rong Linyi.
Su Yanyun was shocked by her overly focused gaze.
What was the meaning of Du Mengmeng’s eyes that were not filled with admiration but were exceptionally persistent?
Rong Linyi’s expression was calm under Du Mengmeng’s gaze. He only instructed Jiang Tong. “Sign a cheque for her.”

She was speechless.
Girl, is it really good to love money so much?
“These are all things that should be done.” She finally started to respond to Su Yanyun. “After all, I’m under a childish boss who likes to cause trouble. I can’t lack the necessary survival skills and tools.”
Su Yanyun said, “...Does Jiang Chengxi know how you’re talking about him behind his back?”
Du Mengmeng’s glasses twitched. “It’s because he lacks self-awareness that as his assistant, I remind him about this every day.”
Su Yanyun... suddenly felt that Jiang Chengxi was a little pitiful.
As an overbearing CEO, he was completely controlled by his assistant? Didn’t he know to fire her?
“Du Mengmeng’s identity is not simple.” After getting into the car, Rong Linyi saw Su Yanyun’s doubt and explained. “She is the Du family’s eldest daughter. The Jiang family’s Old Master appointed her as Jiang Chengxi’s assistant, but she was actually helping Old Master Jiang control him and keep an eye on him. Thus, Jiang Chengxi never dared to do anything to her.”
There were many prestigious families in C City, so Su Yanyun didn’t know which Du Mengmeng’s family was, but she still couldn’t understand.
“Since she’s the Du family’s eldest daughter, why did she come and be Jiang Chengxi’s assistant?”
Shouldn’t the eldest Miss be like Sister Rong, having several companies under her name that earned her money daily, and acted arrogantly?
Su Yanyun’s question really stumped Rong Linyi.
He hesitated for a few seconds before saying, “Jiang Tong, explain.”
There were so many ladies in C City, how would he be in the mood to gossip about their stories?
If Du Mengmeng wasn’t Jiang Chengxi’s assistant, he wouldn’t have understood her either.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJiang Tong immediately cleared his throat. “Madam Yi, Ms. Du takes her mother’s surname. Her mother was the biggest heir of the Du family, but she passed on when she was very young. The current authoritative figure of the Du family is her father. Ms. Du was not on good terms with her father and stepmother, and she moved out after an argument. The Jiang family’s Old Master and her grandfather were good friends in the past, and in the spirit of taking care of a friend’s descendant, he made her Jiang Chengxi’s assistant.”
“Oh, I see.” Su Yanyun roughly understood. “She seems to be on good terms with Sister.”
“They were classmates in primary school.” Rong Linyi was clearer about this. “Rong Xuelong likes to bring her over to play.”
He paused and suddenly asked Su Yanyun. “Are you going to help that child?”
“What?” Su Yanyun was stunned, not understanding what Rong Linyi meant.
“Shi Jiazhong, are you going to help him? He has cerebral fluid in his head caused by a deformity in his spine. There’s a high chance of curing him through surgery.” Rong Linyi looked at Su Yanyun. He didn’t ignore the pity in Su Yanyun’s eyes when she saw the baby.
She was also about to become a mother, and it was normal for her to be soft and compassionate. If she wanted to help that child...
However, what surprised Rong Linyi was that the gentle and kind Su Yanyun in his impression shook her head after thinking for a while.
“No, I refuse to help him. It’s not that I don’t want to, but I can’t!”
