Jin Mo raised her eyes and looked into Mrs. Chi's, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, and a wave of sadness surged in her heart.
Chi Ran wanted to reach out and pull Mrs. Chi away, but was blocked by her again. She gestured with her hand for Chi Ran to leave, but as he looked at Jin Mo, he couldn't bear to do so.
"What? Afraid I'll bully her?"
Mrs. Chi's mouth curled into a smile, and Jin Mo spoke first, "Chi Ran, we women need to have a little chat, you just wait over there for a while."
Only after Jin Mo had spoken did Chi Ran turn and leave, walking a few steps away until he could barely hear the conversation between the two women.
"Chi Ran will be busy with the company's affairs for a while. If there's nothing else, it's best you do not meet. I heard you came from Ningjiang, and life must be hard without your own place in the Capital. Even as a girl, you can't think about relying on someone else. The money you earn yourself is the only money that brings peace of mind."
