You tricked me into raising your son? You'll divorce me and become my aunt.

Lin Wei patiently spoke for more than ten minutes.

She had explained everything from the basic process to the core details, and she originally thought that Ruan Ning would need a long time to digest it, and might even need to ask questions repeatedly.

Ruan Ning listened attentively throughout, nodding occasionally. After listening once, she directly outlined the complete work logic from the document.

Lin Wei was taken aback, and couldn't help but ask, "You understood everything? I thought I spoke a little too fast, and I was about to repeat myself."

"I basically understood it." Ruan Ning opened the project document and quickly browsed through it. "I've noted down the workflow and key points."

"Have you done similar work before?" Lin Wei asked in surprise.

She didn't know that Ruan Ning was Gu Mingzhou's junior sister and a student of Zhou Lao, one of the top scientists in the country.

All they knew was that Ruan Ning was someone President Gu had arranged to come in, and they assumed she was just a complete novice who didn't know anything.

But now it seems that's not the case.

Ruan Ning replied calmly, "We have had contact."

Although I had never worked in a technical position in a company before, I had done some similar research work with my teachers and senior students.

She still understands some basic things.

Lin Wei nodded. "That's good."

Lin Wei spent the entire morning helping Ruan Ning familiarize herself with the work.

Lin Wei originally thought that Ruan Ning would need two or three days to figure out the basics, but Ruan Ning mastered it all in one morning.

lunch break.

Lin Wei couldn't help but whisper to her colleague next to her, "This newcomer is amazing. She doesn't seem like a newcomer at all. Her learning speed surpasses everyone I've ever mentored."

My colleague replied, "You mean that beautiful woman that President Gu arranged to come in? At first, I thought she was just a pretty face who got in through connections, but I didn't expect her to be so capable."

"Shh." Lin Wei raised her finger to make a shushing gesture. "Don't talk about her like that. Ruan Ning is not just a pretty face. I feel that she has real talent."

in the afternoon.

Ruan Ning was able to independently handle simple tasks, organizing project data and verifying document details, with zero errors throughout the process and extremely high efficiency.

Lin Wei stood beside her, staring in disbelief.

Is this a newcomer?

Her work ability is even better than that of a long-time employee who has worked there for five years.

Lin Wei sincerely praised, "Ruan Ning, you can already handle your work independently. Your work ability is even better than many veteran employees. To be able to do this on your first day of work is truly outstanding."

"Thank you for your recognition, Sister Lin. I'll be able to keep up with the pace completely in a couple more days," Ruan Ning replied modestly.

At the end of the workday, Ruan Ning turned off her computer and felt an unprecedented sense of fulfillment.

As I stepped out of the office building, dusk was falling.

The phone screen lit up with two messages from Fu Tingchen.

You haven't been home all day, where have you been?

When are you coming back?

The man's tone was forceful and cold, showing no concern whatsoever.

Ruan Ning stared at the screen for two seconds.

Come back home?

Is that the place where he, his white moonlight, and their son, a family of three, lived?

Ruan Ning didn't want to go back.

But then she thought, now that Bai Xinyao and Fu Tingchen are living together, this is a good opportunity for her to collect evidence of Fu Tingchen's extramarital affair.

Instead of running away, she should go back and gather evidence to get rid of this rotten marriage as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, Ruan Ning hailed a taxi and returned to Yun Jin Ju.

The house was brightly lit.

Fu Tingchen sat on the living room sofa flipping through financial magazines, while Bai Xinyao sat beside him peeling fruit.

Hearing the door open, the two looked up at the same time.

When Bai Xinyao saw Ruan Ning, a fleeting glint of coldness flashed in her eyes.

Then, she flashed a gentle, harmless smile and said, "Ningning, you're back! We were all so worried about you."

Fu Tingchen put down the magazine and glanced at Ruan Ning's left cheek.

He was relieved to see that the redness and swelling on her face had subsided.

But when he thought about how Ruan Ning hadn't spoken to him all day, his face turned cold. "Where did you go? You haven't replied to my messages all day."

Ruan Ning said coldly, "Find a job."

Fu Tingchen frowned. "You went to look for a job?"

"Um."

Fu Tingchen frowned and said unhappily, "If you quit your job, you're just going to stay at home and be a full-time housewife. Why bother looking for a job? What's so great about a job that pays a few thousand yuan a month? It's not like we're short of your money."

Ruan Ning's gaze was calm. "I don't want to be a full-time housewife."

Fu Tingchen: "You don't need to go out to work anymore. Just stay home and take good care of me."

Ruan Ning said coldly, "I said I don't want to."

The smell of gunpowder suddenly filled the air.

Bai Xinyao gently and softly tried to mediate the fight.

"Okay, Tingchen, don't argue with Xiaoning. It's all my fault for messing up Hongtian's project. Xiaoning had no choice but to leave the company. Don't blame Xiaoning for not wanting to be a full-time housewife. Staying at home all the time is really too boring."

"Although the job Xiaoning found pays little and isn't very valuable, it keeps her busy and prevents her from being so bored, so just let her be."

Ruan Ning looked at Bai Xinyao with a half-smile, "Low salary, no value?"

Bai Xinyao let out an affected "Oh dear."

"Xiao Ning, you've misunderstood me. That's not what I meant..."

Ruan Ning ignored her and turned to go upstairs.

The first thing she did when she got back was feed the cats.

Ruan Ning opened the cat house, but did not see the kitten.

Before, whenever she opened the door, Tangyuan would meow and run over to rub against her legs.

But now the cat house is empty.

All the facilities are still there, except for that round little figure.

Ruan Ning thought the kitten had hidden, and called softly, "Tangyuan, Tangyuan..."

No response.

Ruan Ning searched for a long time, but couldn't find any trace of the kitten.

She panicked and immediately got up to search around.

Ruan Ning searched every room, calling the cat's name over and over again, her voice growing more and more urgent.

I searched for more than ten minutes but couldn't find it.

Her cat, which she had raised for two whole years, has disappeared.

Ruan Ning took a deep breath to suppress the panic in her heart, quickly walked back to the living room, looked coldly at Fu Tingchen and Bai Xinyao, and asked in a tense tone, "Where's my cat?"

Bai Xinyao froze under her icy gaze and subconsciously shrank closer to Fu Tingchen.

She showed a faint red mark on her wrist, her voice trembling with tears: "Xiao Ning, I'm sorry, please don't be angry... Your cat scratched me, and Ting Chen..."

She deliberately left the rest of her sentence unfinished.

Bai Xinyao looked terrified and huddled behind Fu Tingchen.

Ruan Ning's face was terribly cold. "Explain clearly, what exactly happened?"

Bai Xinyao sniffed, looking utterly terrified.

"This afternoon I was watching TV in the living room when your cat suddenly rushed out and pounced on me, scratching my hand. I was really scared."

Ruan Ning spoke each word clearly, her voice as cold as ice: "It never intentionally hurts anyone."

"But it really grabbed me!" Bai Xinyao raised her voice, crying even more aggrievedly.

"I was scratched by a stray cat when I was a child, and it left me with psychological trauma. I was especially scared after being scratched by your cat, worried that it might have germs..."

Fu Tingchen, who was sitting to the side, finally spoke, his tone indifferent: "Alright, that's enough."

"The cat scratched Xinyao, it wasn't safe to keep her, so I had someone throw her away."
