"Auntie, you should also take a break properly. Otherwise, let me take care of the company for you, and you can go relax and travel a bit."

My mom trusted her completely at that time and handed over the company to her.

But after my mom left, He Zhizhi's actions became dishonest.

The funds in the accounting department were falling behind, and I found out that it was because He Zhizhi was embezzling.

So I confronted her.

"Embezzling the company's money is illegal," I said.

He Zhizhi waved her hand, "This isn't even your company. You're being too nosy. Even if your aunt were here, I would still embezzle. It's none of your business!"

Seeing her arrogant attitude, I couldn't bear it.

This was just a small company; my mom probably just gave it to her to practice.

I quickly booked a ticket back to the countryside. I wanted to give He Zhizhi a big surprise.

After spending nearly half a month in the countryside, I finally received a call from her daughter.

With the guardian's consent, I brought the child back to the city.

That day, coincidentally, He Zhizhi was hosting a company banquet at my house. My mom had returned from her trip, and the timing was perfect with no one missing.

He Zhizhi poured a glass of red wine for my mom, "Auntie, have you been enjoying yourself during this time? I can also take on some work in the company. Why don't you hand over the company to me!"

My mom nodded.

Then, He Zhizhi brought out her new boyfriend, hoping that my mom would agree to their wedding.

I had seen this man before; he was a rising star in the business world and had dealings with our family in terms of logistics.

My mom was surprised, "You two are together? Well, that's great. Of course, I agree to your wedding. When do you plan to get married?"

Before she could finish speaking, a loud voice of a little girl pierced through the air.

"Mommy—" The little girl ran towards her mother with all her might, and He Zhizhi's expression suddenly changed in that moment.

She frowned, pretending not to recognize the little girl.

"Whose child is this, why are you calling me mommy? I'm not your mother," He Zhizhi said.

Hearing this, the little girl burst into tears, "Mommy, don't you want Le Tong anymore? Le Tong waits for mommy to come home every day. Mommy, daddy has married another auntie, and they have a little brother. Can you take me away? I don't want to live with them!"

More and more colleagues from the company gathered to watch the commotion, making the scene even noisier.

"So, Manager He has a child after all. She looks like she's only in her twenties, but this child must be at least four or five years old, right?"

"Huh? But doesn't Manager He have a boyfriend now? What's the deal with this child suddenly appearing?"

"Is this child really Manager He's biological daughter? If so, I'm looking forward to seeing how this plays out!"

Amidst the buzzing discussions, He Zhizhi stood frozen in place.

She didn't know why her daughter was here, but her first reaction was to blame me.

"Zhizhi, your daughter really misses you! You're unbelievable; you didn't even tell us you had a daughter. We thought your daughter was fake until I saw a family photo of you all at home," someone said.
