Chapter 7: Work

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Fan Bo had no choice but to call Lu Rong. “Boss, the young lady is not satisfied with the cookies that the chef had made. She is crying, saying that she is about to starve to death…”

Bai Ran pretended to cry sadly. Even Fan Bo could not bear to see it, let alone Lu Rong who was looking at her through the surveillance footage.

Lu Rong’s brows sank and he ordered, “Immediately hire a top chef. Buy some snacks that she likes to eat to fill her stomach in the meantime.”

“Yes, Boss.”

When Bai Ran heard that Fan Bo was going to hire a chef for her, she wiped the tears on her face with a tissue in her small hand and covered the smug smile on her face.

Bai Qian really did not know what Bai Xu had sent over. He had brought over a few big boxes. She almost could not move them. She had to borrow a small cart to move the boxes up.

As soon as she entered, she couldn’t help but shout, “Bai Xu! What exactly did you send over? It’s so heavy! Is there anything in the boxes that can’t be bought here?”

A small head poked out and carefully said, “It’s not mine, it’s your design drafts.”

“What?” Bai Qian asked in surprise.

“Mommy, you have to keep up the good work!” The small head retreated back into the room.

Bai Qian was stunned.

She was going to give up all her past glory, but she didn’t expect her son to bring it all back to her.

Was Xu’er doing this intentionally or unintentionally?

At this moment, her son’s voice came from the room again. “Oh right, Mommy. I’ve applied for a job on your behalf. You’ll definitely be able to do it. Keep up the good work, Mommy!”

“Ah?” Bai Qian asked in confusion.

The next second, her phone rang. “Hello?”

“Hello, are you Ms. Bai Qian?”

“Yes, and you are?”

“I’m the butler of Lu Garden on Fu Gui Road. Congratulations on being accepted by Lu Garden to work as a maid. When will you be able to report for duty and make cookies for the young lady?”

Lu Garden…young lady…cookies…? Bai Qian was a little confused after hearing this.

But when she heard that it was a call from the Lu Garden, she quickly agreed, “Now.”

“Okay,” the butler said and quickly hung up the phone.

Confused, Bai Qian held her phone and knocked on Bai Xu’s door. She asked Bai Xu, “Xu’er, I just received a call from the Lu Garden.”

Bai Xu opened the door and took off the earphones in his ears. His eyes sparkled as he said, “Mommy, aren’t you trying to get close to Lu Rong? If you enter Lu Garden, it should be easier to get close to him than if you were to enter the Lu Corporation. After all, the closer you are, the more smooth-sailing it will be for you.”

Bai Qian patted his head and said in annoyance, “Really, you’re such a mischievous child.”

“Mommy, hurry up and go. There might be a surprise waiting for you.” Bai Xu blinked at her strangely.

“What about Ran Ran? She hasn’t woken up yet?” Bai Qian tilted her head to look at Bai Ran’s room.

“Not yet,” Bai Xu immediately pulled her back from her train of thoughts. He patted his chest to assure her, “Mommy, don’t worry. I’ll definitely take good care of my sister!”

Although Bai Xu was young, he was sometimes more thoughtful than an adult like her.

Therefore, Bai Qian made her way to the Lu Garden with ease.

Lu Garden was exactly the same as she remembered it to be. The flowers that she had planted in the front yard were still there. It was the blooming season and they were colorful and adorable.

All of this seemed to have never changed. It was as though she had simply gone out for a stroll and then returned.

It was only when she saw her reflection on the glass door that she realized that she was no longer the Ye Qian she used to be.

Her appearances had changed. She was now Bai Qian!
