After this incident, I noticed Auntie Bai Rui had changed. She no longer had that cautious presence about her. Such was the power of mothers. They would do anything for their children. Auntie Bai Rui now saw things and people differently.
However, when she saw me, Auntie Bai Rui hugged me tightly, "Nanxing!"
I hugged her back. "Auntie!"
Jing Ni changed her shoes and hugged both of us. "Here are my two favorite women in the world!"
Auntie Bai Rui wiped her tears and said loudly, "Go and wash your hands. I've prepared your favorite food!"
Everything was just like before.
Everything was different from before.
Jing Ni asked me, "How's business?"
I nodded and answered, "It's going well. When you're gone, Mai Qi has joined us. But she has gone home because she has to deal with some family drama. So you've returned at the perfect time. So when do you think you can start working?"
Jing Ni smiled, "Anytime, boss."
