Chen Jing stood frozen on the spot, lost and helpless as she watched her daughter turn away. By the time she recovered, her daughter was already stepping into the elevator with Yanhuang. By the time she wanted to chase after them, the elevator doors were already closing with a "ding" right in front of her.
In the elevator, Zhu Qianying stood silent and stone-faced, pressing her lips tightly together.
Yanhuang had been a silent observer to the interaction between her and her mother, becoming more and more aware of why Zhu Qianying had been bullied in the Zhu family over the years.
"Come with me to the company."
Zhu Qianying didn't object nor did she agree to Yanhuang's request. She remained silent all the way until they got in the car, not uttering a single word.
Yanhuang took a deep look at her, gently touched her face, and then instructed the driver to head back to the company.
