Zhou Qinyang received an email from the Lee Corporation. She opened it and read that she passed the first round with her resume and portfolio. The next round she would need to come in for an interview next week for the job.
She heaved a sigh of relief that it was on the day of the auction and party. She called Yong Zixuan to tell her the good news. After replying to the email, she went to take out the trash.
On the way back from taking out the trash, she spotted an old lady carrying heavy bags while walking towards the apartment.
Qinyang quickly ran towards her and took the bags out of her hand. "Grandma Huo, why are you carrying this alone? Where is your grandson?"
The old lady smiled at the sight of Qinyang. "This is nothing. You are too kind, Qinyang. My son is working late again."
Qinyang frowned. "You don't have to lie, Grandma Huo. I saw him walking out of the club. He was drunk and fooling around with some girls. He also yelled at you when he came home that day, right?"
"He's just having a hard time, dear. It's not like that," Grandma Huo said while smiling sadly.
Qinyang sighed. "You spoil him too much, Grandma Huo. You should tell him off next time."
"I'm too old already, dear. Thank you for your concerns."
Finally arriving in front of the old lady's door, Qinyang went inside and placed the bag on the table. Grandma Huo bowed and said, "Thank you, Qinyang. Next time, I will cook stew for you again."
"It's nothing. You don't have too. Next time, I will teach that useless grandson of yours for leaving you home alone," Qinyang declared, but Grandma Huo laughed at her words.
"Also, Grandma Huo, don't go out so late again. I might start working in a corporation soon. I won't be around a lot, so I might not help you like this again. What if you get hurt?" Qinyang said while holding the hand of the old lady.
"I will keep it in mind. If you keep nagging at me like that, I'll feel embarrassed," she laughed. "Go home, my dear. It's already late at night."
Grandma Huo is the landlady of the apartment. It was originally her husband's but after he passed away, he left a will to put it under her name. When Qinyang first met Grandma Huo, she didn't have money for a place to stay, but Grandma Huo took her in and took care of her. After a few months earning from her freelancing, Qinyang started to pay her back and even bought a unit. Grandma Huo treats her like a granddaughter and Qinyang treats her like her own grandmother.
"I'll be off then. I will visit again soon." Qinyang bowed and left.

Upon arriving at the elevator, the smell of alcohol first came out as a drunk man walked out. Clearly wasted, the drunk man couldn't even walk straight. He was singing. "I miss you~ I love you~ I want to see you~"
Qinyang eyed the man. It was Grandma Huo's useless grandson, Huo Jiacheng.
He walked sideways and bumped into Qinyang. She covered her nose from the smell of alcohol. She glared at him and tried to control her temper from kicking this guy's ass.
Huo Jiacheng turned around and saw Qinyang. Jiacheng met her a few times and disliked her because she was such a busybody. Due to the alcohol, he couldn't recognise her.
She ignored the man and tried to walk away. But then, he smiled in a perverted way and put his hands over her shoulders. "Hey there, pretty lady. You bumped into me just now."
Qinyang looked at him in disgust, especially the reek of alcohol on his body.
"Handsome guy here will forgive you if you eat him today." He hiccupped as his hand slid down her waist.
She slapped his hand away and thought of an idea to teach him a lesson. 'Oh... I will show you how I eat you. '
The tigress in her awakened. She gave an evil smile and said, "Boss Huo, let this beautiful lady kiss your dick today..." She raised her leg and then gathered all her strength. "I will let you taste how a bittersweet pain tastes like!"
Jiacheng fell to the ground and screamed in pain. He rolled around holding his nuts. Somehow, the pain made him recover a bit of consciousness as he glared at the deviously smiling Qinyang.
"Hmph! I saved your children from having a useless father! " She walked away and decided to use the stairs.
"You bitch! I will get you!" He screamed at her. His screams woke up all the neighbours and came out to look at his miserable state. Huo Jiacheng continued swearing as he groaned in pain and swore that he would get back at that damn bitch.
