Gu Anran sneered: "Why bother with so much effort? How dare the Ruan family offend you now? They won't do anything to me now. They only think about how to please you through me, who dares to bully me?
"
"You can never underestimate the scheming of dark villains. Don't take it lightly, be careful of being tricked by them! Don't talk nonsense with them. Go get your things and come back."
Mo Bei pinched her cheek, his fingers stayed on her slightly swollen lips for a moment, and gently rubbed a few times on the wound he bitten.
He frowned, he was a bit rude just now.
"Okay, okay, I understand!" Gu Anran waved to Mo Bei, "Go and do your work, I'm leaving."
"Um."
The driver and security guard came up and Mo Bei explained to them again before letting her go to Ruan's house.
…
At this time, the situation of the Ruan family was completely different from before.
In order to save money, the two nannies at home were fired, as well as the driver. Now the trivial tasks of washing, cooking, and housework at home all fall on Yan Yan.
There used to be several cars parked in front of the door, but now there is only one car left. This car is usually used by Ruan Guoqiang himself. If others go out, they must take the bus or take a taxi.
The other cars were sold by Ruan Guoqiang and used in the company as liquidity to keep the company going.
Yan Yan was busy in the kitchen wearing an apron, and Ruan Xue came straight to the kitchen after returning from outside.
Standing at the door of the kitchen, looking at Yan Yan who was busy in front of the stove, and then at the side dishes she prepared today, Ruan Xue's nose felt sore and her eyes were a little red.
Mothers in the past did not need to do these things. She spent all her time going to beauty salons, going shopping, reading newspapers, and watching TV. When she was hungry, the nanny would cook for her, and when she was thirsty, the nanny would make tea.
In the past, the standard for dinner at home was always eight dishes and one soup, a combination of meat and vegetables, and balanced nutrition. Now there are only two dishes every night, and today there is one dish she dislikes the most - eggplant!
Yan Yan felt a gaze staring at her. She turned around and saw Ruan Xue standing at the door, and said angrily: "You didn't make any movement when you came back. It scared me."
Ruan Xue said nothing, staring at the eggplant on the chopping board with slightly red circles.
"What's wrong with you? Why do you look like you're about to cry?"
Yan Yan followed her gaze and found that she was staring at the eggplant on the chopping board, and suddenly understood something.
"Oh, Mom went shopping today and saw a stall selling eggplants at a low price, so she bought some. Mom knows you don't like eggplants, but your dad and Boyan both like them. If you don't want to eat eggplants, you can eat something else later.
It’s not just this one dish. You’re such an old person, you’re not going to cry like a child just for one bite, right?”
Ruan Xue sniffed and forced back the fog in her eyes.
Of course, it’s not just because one bite brings tears to one’s eyes! The collapse of an adult may seem unreasonable and seems to be just a moment, but who would really understand how much grievance and dissatisfaction is accumulated after this moment of collapse?
"Mom, I went for an interview today. I waited for a long time for the bus. The sun hurt my face. I finally waited until the bus came. There were so many people on the bus and there were no seats. I was squeezed between two men.
, the stinky sweat on their bodies stained the white skirt I was wearing, and also made me smell like sweat."
Ruan Xue lowered her eyes and asked Yan Yan: "When will this life of living at the bottom end? I have had enough of this kind of life."
Yan Yan's breathing was trembling, so why wasn't she troubled by the same emotions? She also wanted to return to her previous life.
She didn't want to look in the mirror these days. The person's skin in the mirror was in such bad condition, with a lot of white hair sprouting on her temples. Was this still her?
"Xue'er, if you keep persisting, we have to believe in your father, and he will definitely let us live a good life again." Yan Yan didn't want to talk about this topic, so she changed the topic and asked: "How was your job search today?"
"Don't mention it, it bothers me even more when I mention it." Ruan Xue's face darkened, "I went to that clothing company and found out that it was Mo Bei's brother and sister-in-law who did it! How could I possibly work for them? I want to work tomorrow
Go to another clothing company for an interview.”
"But didn't you say that the designs of another company are not as good as the clothes of this company and are not as fashionable as this one?"
"It's just a little bit worse because the design team is not good enough. They don't have good designers. If I go there, I can stand out faster. If I can design a few hot-selling styles, the company leaders will notice me."
.”
"Okay, mom will support you no matter what you choose. Are you hungry? Mom hurry up and cook!"
Yan Yan is not very good at cooking. She is fumbling around every day. She chops vegetables very slowly and the food she makes is not very delicious. The minimum standard she follows is that it can be cooked well.
She is cooking another dish now, a fish.
This fish was killed by a vendor at the vegetable market. You can just wash it at home and cook it directly.
It was a very simple thing to imagine. When the oil pan was heated and she put the fish in for frying, the fish suddenly jumped up and flopped vigorously in the oil pan. Yan Yan screamed and backed away, and Ruan Xue rushed up to grab it.
Cover the pot and turn off the heat.
"It hurts."
Yan Yan's arm was blistered with hot oil and was very painful.
Ruan Xue had finally held back the tears just now. When she saw those bubbles, she could no longer hold back the tears and burst out.
When she cried, Yan Yan couldn't help crying either, and the mother and daughter hugged each other and cried bitterly in the kitchen where the floor was stained with oil.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..Mom...why did our family become like this?"
It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality!
Yan Yan also choked up, "It will be fine. Your father said that he has been trying to contact the managers of Mobei Company recently, hoping that through the relationship between Mobei and Enron, he can win the Nancheng project, as long as it is this project
If we take it down, our family's current situation will soon improve."
"Don't mention her!" Ruan Xue shouted angrily, "If it weren't for her, our family wouldn't be in this situation!"
"Xue'er, don't think so. How can you blame An Ran for this matter?"
"If you don't blame her, who should you blame?! If it weren't for her, would Mo Bei target us?"
The atmosphere between mother and daughter changed suddenly, from loving each other at the beginning to becoming tit-for-tat.
Yan Yan wanted to reprimand her severely, but the doorbell interrupted them.
Yan Yan calmed down, turned to Ruan Xue and said, "Go and open the door. Maybe Boyan didn't take the key with him when he left."
"Why do you want to eat! He goes out without a key and asks me to open the door for him. Can he still clear his place? Am I his servant? You want me to open the door for him..." Ruan Xue muttered, people
He had already reached the door and opened the door with an unhappy expression.
Seeing Gu Anran standing at the door, Ruan Xue suddenly stopped talking and looked at Gu Anran with complicated eyes.
Gu Anran was the first to break the silence between them, "I'll get my luggage and documents."
