Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

On the outskirts of the city, there lay a farmhouse.

Under the scorching sun, Shen Ning walked for more than two miles along a mountain road until she reached a vast farmland.

In the fields, a middle-aged man with a straw hat was busy at work.

“Uncle Mali,” Shen Ning called out from the field embankment.

Mali straightened up.

On the embankment, a young and beautiful girl was calling his name.

Who could this young girl be?

He hurriedly walked toward the embankment.

“Uncle Mali, 1 finally found you,” Shen Ning looked at Mali, who was covered in mud, and her eyes welled up with tears.

“Oh, you’re Ning Ning. You’ve grown so tall and beautiful, more and more like your mother,” Mali recognized Shen Ning immediately when he got closer, and he was very excited.

Mali used to be a trusted aide to Gu Qi. When Shao Meiqi was still around, he was her right-hand man. However, after Gu Qi was taken away by Shen Mei and her daughter, he was forced to leave.

When she was a child, Shen Ning often played at Gu Qi’s place, and Mali used to tease her and treat her very well. Therefore, she knew him well.

“Uncle Mali, I’ve been searching for you so desperately,” Shen Ning was also very excited. To find Mali, she had personally searched through archives and spent a whole day looking for information. She finally found an address, but when she rushed there, he had already moved out, and there was no trace of him.

Then she found an old telephone number in the archived records. Although she didn’t reach Mali himself when she called, she managed to obtain his hometown address through that number. It was only through his family that she was able to locate him here.

“Is there something you need, Ning Ning?” Mali asked warmly.

“Yes,” Shen Ning nodded. “Uncle Mali, you must come back to help me at Gu Qi’s.”

“Back to Gu Qi’s?” Mali’s expression darkened slightly as he shook his head.

Shen Ning knew he had something on his mind, so she quickly filled him in on the recent situation.

His eyes lit up as he listened. “Ning Ning, you’ve taken back Gu Qi?”

“Yes, but now the company is facing many difficulties. You must help me, or else, the company will go bankrupt in three months,” Shen Ning shared her concerns.

“Alright, let’s go right away. Uncle will help you,” Mali eagerly agreed, his excitement evident. “This is great! CEO Shao’s daughter has finally returned, and now there’s hope for Gu Qi.”

Shen Ning was overjoyed.

At the Li Manor,

Shen Mei sat in front of her vanity, humming a tune, her mood exceptionally pleasant.

Shen Ning’s reputation had already been tarnished!

She had just opened her phone, and news of Shen Ning’s alleged seduction of Lai Hongyu last night had skyrocketed to the top of the trending topics. All sorts of defamatory rumors and accusations against her were flying around.

Although she had saved Shen Ning last night due to Ding Ding’s appearance, Shen Ning was now under immense pressure. Could a woman with such poor morals and character succeed in business? Would customers trust her? Would she be blacklisted?

All of these were possible!

If she couldn’t handle the pressure, she would leave the city with her two illegitimate children, which was quite a favorable outcome.

Indeed, experience was invaluable!

When her mum took action, the effect was completely different!

She adorned herself and grabbed her handbag before heading out.

Inside the hospital,

Shen Ning arrived just before 8 o’clock. Ding Ding, worried that her mommy might be harmed again since he couldn’t see her, refused to eat and take hismedicine. He sat there sulking, clearly unhappy.

Li Zhenteng had a stern expression on his face.

“Don’t you know that Ding Ding is still sick? How could you be late? Last night, he risked everything to save you, even ignoring his illness,” he scolded Shen Ning, his tone very serious.

He had already called Gu Qi and confirmed that Shen Ning wasn’t working overtime or attending any business engagements. There was only one possibility: she was on a date with Jing Chenxi.

As far as he knew, Chenxi indeed had an appointment at Flowing Light Cafe at 7 o’clock tonight!

This woman had a really big heart. After such a big incident last night, she still dared to go on a date.. Well, perhaps she was seeking comfort!
