”Mom.” I walked over to her and introduced, ”He's my company's boss, Director Zhu. He's here to see dad.”

She rubbed her hands and said, ”Oh, so you're the boss of the company. I'm sorry, but we don't have anything good to entertain you with, so we asked you to come over. Our Manman family didn't give you any trouble, did they?”

”Auntie is too polite.” He placed the things in his hands on the table and said with a smile, ”Manman is very skilled at working, so there's no need to trouble him.”

Hearing these words, I cast my astonished gaze towards Zhu Vuyu once again.

Seeing the warm smile on his face, I secretly clucked my tongue. How many faces have I never seen before?

My mother had been very uncomfortable in the presence of Zhu Wechen, and to keep her from being too embarrassed, I had a few words with my father. After accompanying them for a while, I took him with me and left.

On the way back, I thought about the huge debt and my father's medical expenses, and I fell into deep thought.

”What are you thinking about?”

He broke the silence. It also pulled me back from my deep thoughts.

I turned my head to look at him, more and more conflicted. My eyebrows couldn't speak, and my throat felt like it had been blocked by something.

I don't know when I picked up that ridiculous ego of mine …

These days in the company life, although very tired, but no different from those who work, that is my expectation of a normal life. However, the moment I was in the hospital and saw my father lying on the bed, dying, I was beaten back to my original form …

The salary for going to work was not even enough to cover my father's medical expenses, not to mention repaying the one million debt.

”Lumen.”

Zhu Feichen called me, his deep voice expressing his master's displeasure.

My heart tightened. I didn't dare to look into his eyes, so I simply stared at his beautiful lips. ”What's wrong?”

”Look at me.”

His voice wasn't loud, but it was ice-cold and full of vigor. No one dared to disobey him.

I swallowed and looked up into his eyes.

Perhaps my trembling made his heart soften. His cold gaze softened a lot.
