Chapter 41: You'd better remember this for me

  It rained lightly at night and unexpectedly continued until the next morning.

  The rain got even heavier.

  Although April's weather has entered summer, it still can't be without a cool feeling.

  When Shu Xiao Ai went downstairs, Zhong Yu Chen's figure had already disappeared from beside the dinner table.

  She walked forward, and Chen Ayi smiled and asked, "Miss Shu, what would you like for breakfast? It's already been prepared."

  "Give me a bowl of egg and lean pork congee, two eggs, a sandwich, and a cup of milk, thank you." She wants to eat her fill and have the energy...to go to work.

  Aunt Chen nodded, "Okay."

  Two minutes later, breakfast was served and Shu Xiao Ai wolfed it down. Just as she was about to leave, the black-clad captain walked in with a white Pomeranian in his arms. Seeing her, he said, "Miss Shu, Young Master said this dog is under your care from now on."

  Shu Xiao Ai's eyes lit up, and she quickly took over, stroking the dog's white fur. "I love Pomeranians the most! I've always wanted to raise one, but never had the chance. By the way, why did Master let you buy a dog?"

  The man in black said frankly, "This... Young Master didn't say."

  Shu Xiao Ai suddenly remembered her own words from last night, and in an instant she felt that Zhong Yu Chen was actually not bad. She rushed to the black-clad team leader and said, "Thank you, I'll take it upstairs."

  She turned around and carried the puppy upstairs, directly into her own room, using an old box as a small nest for it.

  "Little puppy, since you've come to my side, it's like you're my own child. How can I not give you a name? Let me see if you're male or female?" She leaned over and took a look, "Female! Then let's call you Dudu, how about that?"

  The Pomeranian lifted its head and looked at her with shining eyes, as if agreeing with the name she had chosen.

  Shu Xiao Ai was reluctant to let go, "Alright, Mommy has to go to work now, you have to be good at home."

  She stood up and took another two glances, the pain from being trampled by someone last night instantly disappeared without a trace.

  When I got off the bus in front of the Zhong's building, I unexpectedly ran into my own birth mother, Song Mu.

  Two people walked towards each other under their umbrellas.

  Mrs. Song, dressed in luxurious attire, looked every bit the lady of a wealthy family. Upon seeing her, she spoke directly, "I just found out that you're working for my son-in-law. However, it's a pity that you won't be keeping this job for long and will be fired soon. Let me advise you, try not to appear in front of me often. Wherever your father is, you should be there too. Otherwise, being a discarded woman who was swept out the door by the Qin family won't bring you any good fortune!"

  Shu Xiao Ai stared at her, her face tense. "Where else did I need your approval? Why did you give birth to me without my approval?"

  "Don't tell me this, I told you that night when Lingling got engaged, from now on we're not mother and daughter, remember that."

  "I've also made it clear to you, all these years without a mother's love I've gotten by just fine, and in the future even if I don't have it, it's no big deal. With or without you, it's all the same. So, please don't think that I absolutely need you."

  "From now on, don't look for our family's Linlang again. How can someone like you be worthy of being friends with our Linlang?"

  "Mrs. Song, you can rest assured that I will never be friends with your daughter Linlang for the rest of my life, no reason needed, simply because her mother is you!"

  "Hmph, suit yourself."

  After finishing speaking, Song Mu walked away with an umbrella.
