Early in the morning, Xiao Mei and Sister Liu were busy washing up. Little Jiye was still sleeping. Auntie Li walked in and said to Xiao Mei,"Miss Zheng, Mr. Zhang has instructed that from today onwards, your work here will be handed over to Sister Liu." Please hand over the keys to your bedroom and the lobby on the first floor. Take your things and wait in the lobby on the first floor. I will take you to the guard room for breakfast immediately. Then, wait for Mr. Stanley's car to pick you up. I heard that Mr. Stanley has already booked a hotel to send you off.”Xiao Mei knew that it was time for her to leave the child and the villa. No matter how much she hated the villa and how much she could not bear to part with her one-month-old son, there was nothing she could do now. She could only nod her head silently and give the keys to Auntie Li reluctantly. Auntie Li took Xiao Mei's keys and handed them to Sister Liu. After explaining everything clearly, she brought Sister Liu to the incubator and said,"Miss Zheng has left. From today onwards, Jiye will start feeding milk. The milk was in the incubator and was hot 24 hours a day. Remember: never feed cold milk to Jiye. Mr. Stanley had asked the doctor and said that the baby's stomach was weak. If he was fed cold milk, it would easily cause diarrhea.”Sister Liu nodded in agreement and then took over Xiao Mei's position to carry Ji Ye. However, she cried the moment she hugged Jiye. Xiao Mei could not bear it and took the child over.
Auntie Li returned to the living room on the first floor. After waiting for more than ten minutes, Xiao Mei still did not come down. She quickly went to the bedroom to take a look. Xiao Mei was hugging Xiao Jiye and crying. Auntie Li took the child and handed it to Sis Liu. She advised her,"Miss Zheng, you gave birth to him and nursed him for a month. You've done your duty and completed your mission. The rest of the work was left to Sister Liu. Don't worry, Mr. Stanley treats Jiye like a treasure. He will definitely raise him well and inherit the Zhang Corporation's business. Don't worry." Xiao Mei looked at Auntie Li and said,"Please wait a moment. I'll feed Jiye again."”Auntie Li was a little impatient and urged,"Let's go, Miss Zheng. Even if you breastfeed him again, Jiye will still have to eat milk.”Without any explanation, he pushed Xiao Mei out of the bedroom and turned back to Sister Liu."Take care of the child. I'll send your breakfast over later.”
Xiao Mei followed Auntie Li downstairs and walked out of the hall. They went to the guard room in the inner courtyard where she lived. The two of them hurriedly had breakfast and returned to the living room of the building to wait for Zhang Jingye to pick them up. Auntie Li asked Xiao Mei to sit down on the sofa to rest. She walked over and opened the door of the storeroom. She took out two bags that Xiao Mei had brought from home a year ago and handed them to her."Open it and see if there are any fewer things inside?”"What are you looking at? You don't want these things even if I give them to you. I still treat them as treasures.”Auntie Li took out Xiao Mei's phone and said,"This is your phone. Mr. Stanley gave it to me for safekeeping. It hasn't been used for a year, and it's not easy to use now.”Xiao Mei took it and threw it into the trash can."What's the point of using it if it can't be used? Now that I have money, I'll buy a new one when I get home, so that I won't be sad when I see it.”Auntie Li said," That's true. Anyway, cell phones aren't worth much these days. A new cell phone like yours only costs about a hundred yuan."”
Seeing that it was still early, Auntie Li sat down beside Xiao Mei and said,"In the past year, the two of us spent the most time together. Other than Sunday, we spent every day together. We can be considered old friends.”"Thank you!" Xiao Mei said. I was able to live through this year safely thanks to your care and comfort. I will never forget your help and benefits!”Auntie Li shook her head and said,"I'm ashamed that I didn't take good care of you. There are many things that I can't satisfy you with." I have no choice. There are many places and many times that are restricted by the rules. I can't make my own decisions. I've wronged you, Miss Zheng. I hope you can understand and don't hate me.”"I understand," Xiao Mei quickly said. He was in charge of other people's affairs and was controlled by others. It was all for the sake of his life. He could not make his own decisions. Otherwise, who would be willing to stay here?”
Auntie Li went to the courtyard to listen, but there was no movement outside. She came back and said,"I wonder when you'll be able to come back to Guangzhou after you return home?”"What's the use of coming to Guangzhou again?" Xiao Mei asked. I'm afraid I won't even be able to enter the gates of the South Hill Villa.”"Call me when you're here. I'll go out and see you."”Xiao Mei thought to herself, If I came to Guangzhou and Nanshan Villa, it would be to see my son, not just to see you. "If I come to see you, can you bring Jiye out for me to see?"”When Auntie Li heard this, she quickly waved her hand and declined."No, no, I can't make the decision on this matter. If you want to see Jiye, you can only ask Mr. Zhang. On account of your past relationship, he might agree to let you see Jiye.”Xiao Mei recalled her conversation with Zhang Jingye the day before yesterday and sighed."What relationship is there to speak of? We were a business deal from the beginning to the end. I gave birth to the child, he paid the money, and everything was over! When we meet again, we are just like passersby. I'm afraid he won't even greet us. How would he let me look after the children?”
Seeing that it was difficult to continue, Auntie Li thought to herself, If I continue, you'll ask me to stay and be Jiye's nanny. Do I have the right to do so? Would Mr. Stanley agree? So, she said,"You rest here first. I'll go outside and see if Mr. Stanley's car has arrived."”With that, he left the building.
Xiao Mei sat alone and was bored. Thinking that it would be difficult to see her son again, she took the opportunity to return to the bedroom to see Xiao Jiye. She said to Sister Liu,"I'm here to feed the baby again."”"I just fed him milk."”"Will you eat?" Xiao Mei asked. "It's alright," said Sister Liu. I was afraid that he wouldn't be used to drinking milk, so I fed him twice in a row and finished the bag of milk.”Xiao Mei picked up Jiye and untied his arms to feed him. Sure enough, he stopped eating after a few mouthfuls. She knew that the child was full, so she hugged him and looked at him repeatedly. She touched his small hands, calves, and feet, kissed his small face, and repeatedly told Sister Liu what to pay attention to in her career.
Xiao Mei walked into the courtyard and came to the front door of the inner courtyard. She stopped in her tracks and listened carefully. Little Jiye was still crying. The sound of it entered her eardrums and hurt her heart. She thought that it was absolutely impossible for her to go back to see her son because Auntie Li was right beside her and urged her again and again. She could only endure her heartache and turn around to shout upstairs,"Sister Liu, please take good care of my son! Zheng Xiaomei is here to thank you!" It was a farewell to his son and Sister Liu. She couldn't bear to leave and looked up at the building. The building was still the same, decorated with colorful decorations, tall and magnificent. She looked at the garden again. The small bridge, the flowing water, the jade trees, and the Qi flowers were still beautiful. For more than a year, she had lived in this building, strolling and meditating in this garden. However, she was living like a prisoner. She went from the building to the garden, and then from the garden back to the building. There was only one road connecting the building and the garden. She went back and forth, in and out, and there was no other place to go. For more than a year, other than going for a checkup and giving birth, she had never walked out of this courtyard freely. He didn't expect her to be a little hesitant after leaving this place today. Perhaps this was what it meant to fall in love over time.
When she walked through the door, she saw Dasheng standing in front of the guard room and watching her. She couldn't help but look into his eyes and quickly walked over. Her contract had expired and she could go home. His contract would only expire at the end of the year, so he couldn't go home for the time being. She wasn't at the South Hill Villa, and he was guarding the empty villa, never leaving her side. Life would be so lonely and boring!
When the driver, Xiaowang, saw Auntie Li coming out with Xiao Mei, he quickly walked over, took the things from Xiao Mei's hands, and put them into the trunk. Xiao Mei looked around but did not see Zhang Jingye. She knew that he was deliberately avoiding her and did not want to see her. Now that his contract had expired and he had been fired, he had nothing to ask of her anymore. It wasn't like back then, when he had just signed the contract and brought her into the villa, full of expectations for her and wanted to accompany her. Xiao Mei couldn't help but sigh. She got into the car alone and sat down. The car immediately started moving along the rugged mountain road in the suburbs, heading toward the Yuehai Hotel by the Pearl River.
Xiao Mei arrived at Yuehai Hotel and saw Zhang Jingye and Yuying waiting at the door. When she saw Yuying, it was as if she had seen her family and loved ones who had been separated for a long time. She thought of the humiliation and sadness of more than a year and could no longer hold back her grief. She ran over and threw herself into Yuying's arms. Tears rolled down like broken pearls, and she could not say a word. Yuying could imagine the humiliation Xiaomei had suffered for more than a year, so she could only comfort her and say,"Why are you crying? Now that you've succeeded and your merits are complete, you're going home to reunite with your family. Chairman Zhang personally hosted a banquet to send you off. You should be happy, but you can't be so sad.”She took out a tissue to wipe her tears and tried to persuade Xiao Mei to stop.
The three of them came to the Jade Willow Hall. There was already a table of new Cantonese dishes and a bottle of red wine. The three of them sat down. The waiter opened the bottle and poured three glasses of wine. He said," Please enjoy your meal." Then he left. Zhang Jingye raised his wine glass and said," Thank you for your help. Now that I, Zhang Jingye, have a son, I will have a successor in my career in the future. I will have no regrets in this life." Come, let's drink together!" Yu Ying quickly congratulated him. She raised her glass and clinked it with Mr. Stanley and Xiao Mei in turn before downing it in one gulp. Zhang Jingye poured a second glass of wine. He raised his glass and was about to speak when his phone rang. He put down his glass and said,"Wait a moment, I'll take this call." He opened the door and walked out of the room. Yuying and Xiaomei looked at him, not knowing what was going on.
After a while, Zhang Jingye came back and said,"I'm sorry. I have to leave for a while. Auntie Li called and said that Jiye had diarrhea three times in a row." I've already asked her and Sister Liu to send Jiye to the hospital. I'm going to the hospital now." Xiao Mei and Yu Ying were no longer in the mood to eat, so they followed Zhang Jingye to the hospital.
The three of them arrived at the hospital. Soon, they saw Mrs. Li and Ms. Liu carrying Jiye. Zhang Jingye immediately asked the doctor to treat Jiye. The doctor asked about the situation and looked at Jiye's excrement."This is severe indigestion." He immediately prescribed anti-diarrhea medicine and asked the nurse to give it to Jiye. Soon, the diarrhea stopped. The doctor said that the baby was not used to fresh milk and could be fed with refined milk powder instead. Each time, he could feed a little less, about one-third of the full amount. He could feed it a few more times a day. Every time before feeding, he would feed some plain water to clean his stomach. When the baby adapted, he would gradually increase his appetite. Zhang Jingye instructed Auntie Li to buy refined milk powder.
Xiao Mei pulled Zhang Jingye to the side and pleaded,""Jiye is just one month old, so his digestive function is not complete yet. I don't think he can adapt to cow milk powder. Why don't you let me stay and continue to breastfeed him?”Zhang Jingye said," The doctor said that if you feed refined milk powder and eat less and more, you'll get used to it slowly." We'll see. If you can't get used to it, I'll have to ask you to stay.”"Go to the train station and change Miss Zheng's ticket to the afternoon of the day after tomorrow."”
Little Jiye stayed in the hospital for two days and two nights for observation. He didn't have diarrhea again and gradually adapted to the refined milk powder. On the third day, Zhang Jingye said to Xiaomei,"Jiye has already adapted to the milk powder. You don't have to stay."”She asked Yuying and the driver, Xiaowang, to send Xiaomei to the train station. Yuying tried to comfort her again and again, and watched her get on the train before returning.
