"It would be so nice to have an older brother, I want an older brother too."

"Yeah, hee hee."

There was nothing more to say. Just as Ling Ziqian was about to leave, his phone rang in his pocket.

Yu Meiren called, "Kid, your godmother's here, you'd better come back right away!"

"Godmother?"

Chapter 204 How many beautiful women are there in your company?

Did Mommy Fire go to the cake shop?

She actually took it upon herself to recognize him as her godson!

Hearing Yu Meiren calling her godmother and such, Ling Ziqian was so frustrated that he didn't know what to say.

He left the office and saw Su Mingxi and Dou Xiaorong. He gave an awkward smile.

"This is their compensation to you." Ling Ziqian handed the brown paper bag to Su Mingxi, then waved his hand. "I need to go home."

"Why do you suddenly want to go back?" Dou Xiaorong asked, puzzled.

"Um, Mother Fire is here, so..."

"Who is Mother Fire?" Dou Xiaorong asked, confused.

Su Mingxi walked to Ling Ziqian's side. "I should go back too. I have to thank her for what happened last night. Otherwise, why would the people from No. 1 High School compensate me so readily?"

Ling Ziqian nodded, waved to Dou Xiaorong, and walked out while explaining what happened last night to her.

What they were saying outside the office just now.

Everyone in the office heard it, and the three students from the No. 1 Middle School were especially embarrassed.

They looked at each other for a moment, then, unable to sit still, got up and took their leave.

Ling Ziqian didn't forget to go to the bike shed to ride his bicycle.

Dou Xiaorong jumped onto the back seat, put her arm around Ling Ziqian's waist, and felt very happy.

As they left the school, the three of them saw a luxury car parked outside the cake shop from a distance.

They entered the cake shop. Surprisingly, Xue Lan and Cui Xue were there minding the shop.

He greeted them and then went upstairs.

Yu Meiren's voice came from upstairs, "...Ziqian was abandoned by his parents right after he was born. I, as his older sister, found him on the street and raised him with great difficulty..."

Ling Ziqian's face darkened as he mentally complained that Yu Meiren talked too much nonsense.

Going upstairs, the elegant and dignified Mrs. Huo sat on the sofa, while Yu Meiren, in a typical manner, looked like she was bragging.

Upon seeing Ling Ziqian return, Mother Huo quickly waved to him, signaling him to come over.

Ling Ziqian walked to Huo Mama's side. He was about to call her "Auntie" when Huo Mama pulled him to sit on the sofa and hugged him affectionately.

"Poor child..." Mother Fire spoke softly, "I never imagined your past was so tragic. From now on, I will be your mother..."

"..." Buried in his mother's arms, Ling Ziqian looked at Yu Meiren with a face full of black lines.

Yu Meiren is smiling smugly.

Hearing that Ling Ziqian had a difficult past, with no parents and only an older sister, Huo Mama felt compassion for him.

Last night she wanted to take Ling Ziqian as her godson, and today she heard about this and learned that Ling Ziqian and Su Mingxi had become sworn siblings.

Her determination to adopt Ling Ziqian as her godson was like a tidal wave, unstoppable by Ling Ziqian.

And so, at Yu Meiren's urging, Ling Ziqian acquired a godmother. (Zhen is in Niaoba.)

Dou Xiaorong and Su Mingxi went upstairs and heard about this. They were both very happy.

Seeing them all smiling broadly, Ling Ziqian felt extremely depressed.

After chatting for a while, Yu Meiren led Dou Xiaorong and Su Mingxi into the kitchen to prepare lunch.

In the living room, only Fire Mom, Ling Ziqian, and Cupid Sauce remained.

Fire Mother adores the incredibly cute Cupid-chan and gently hugs her.

Ling Ziqian sat to the side, feeling awkward and uneasy, wanting to go into his room to play games.

"Ziqian," Mother Fire said with a smile, holding Cupid Sauce, "what are your plans for the future?"

“Um…” Ling Ziqian scratched his head and shook his head awkwardly.

He had thought about the future; it was nothing more than getting into university, finding a job after graduation, and starting a family.

But he was too embarrassed to talk about this future of drifting along with the tide.

Mother Huo smiled and said, "Xiao Nan is a high school student just like you, but he is currently working at the Tianhai City branch. Practice is the best way to learn, so I let him study and work at the same time."

"Ziqian, how about you work part-time at our company, learn some things, and find your future?"

When Mother Fire said those words, Ling Ziqian sensed something was amiss, and a certain conjecture popped into his mind.

Because of what happened in Tianhai City, Mother Huo felt that she was capable, so she arranged for them to become sworn brothers and mother and son. She actually wanted to win him over!

Seeing Ling Ziqian's serious expression, Huo Mama also felt embarrassed.

She did indeed want to win over Ling Ziqian, hoping that he could become Huo Nan's capable assistant in the future.

“Little brother,” Cupid spoke up, “Mom Fire wants to win you over, but she is also sincere and wants to give you care and warmth.”

Fire Mother was stunned for a moment, not expecting that this seemingly harmless girl could actually understand her.

No wonder she's Ling Ziqian's sister; she's anything but simple!

Hearing Cupid say that, Ling Ziqian lowered his guard.

He smiled awkwardly at Huo's mother, "I'm a very lazy person. I often skip classes and sleep in late. Working part-time at a company is definitely not suitable for me."

Fire Mother nodded and revealed her purpose, "I asked you to work part-time at the company for a reason. You are so capable and talented, and I hope you can help me out."

"What kind of help?" Ling Ziqian asked curiously.

"Here's what happened. Some time ago, an old friend asked us to help him find a job. He had helped us a lot in the past, and we couldn't refuse him, so we arranged for his son to get a job at the company."

"We couldn't let him be a regular employee, so we gave him the position of deputy manager. But he's lazy and good-for-nothing, a typical case of someone who's more trouble than he's worth. Because he's an old friend's son, we couldn't say anything, and the rest of the company couldn't say anything either, so..."

Fire Mother looked at Ling Ziqian, her smile somewhat awkward.

"Do you want your little brother to become a bad guy?" Cupid asked Mother Fire.

"Uh..." Fire Mom laughed awkwardly, unsure how to answer Cupid-chan.

Cupid continued to ask, "Are there many beautiful women in your company?"

Mother Fire nodded slightly awkwardly, "There are quite a few women..."

Cupid chuckled and looked at Ling Ziqian, "Little brother, hurry up and go, or I'll curse you!"

Ling Ziqian was sweating profusely. He glared at Cupid and looked at Fire Mom. "Do you want me to kick that person out of the company?"

"Hmm." Mother Fire nodded. "Hopefully you can find a way to get him to leave the company on his own, instead of coming to us to complain."

"Hehe." Huan Yue laughed, "This kind of thing only costs fifty points of ambiguity to change that person's mind. Of course, you need to have fifty points of ambiguity first."

Ling Ziqian glanced at his silver watch; it only had 1 point of ambiguity value.

It seems I need to collect fifty points of ambiguity.

"When would you like me to go to the company?" Ling Ziqian asked curiously.

"The sooner the better. The company's been requiring overtime these past two days. If you have time this afternoon..."

"..." Ling Ziqian was sweating profusely. "Mom Huo is really shameless."

He recognized me as his godson in the morning, and then asked me to help him in the afternoon.

Seeing a hint of displeasure flash across Ling Ziqian's face, Huo's mother quickly explained, "Although we are mother and son now, I won't let you help me for nothing. I will..."

Ling Ziqian interrupted her, "Let me prepare first, and then I'll go tomorrow, is that alright, godmother..."

Feeling quite embarrassed, he called out the words "godmother," and Huo's mother couldn't help but smile and nod.

Cupid chuckled beside her, saying that Ling Ziqian was blushing.

After chatting for a few more minutes, Yu Meiren and the others finished preparing lunch.

Upon hearing the news, Shen Qiaoyan rushed over to eat.

Fire Mom secretly made a phone call, and when she finished lunch, a car came downstairs.

A female secretary carrying a large bag entered the cake shop and went upstairs.

Open the bag, and you'll find it filled with precious jewelry—gifts from Mother Fire to everyone.

Ling Ziqian, Su Mingxi, and Dou Xiaorong wanted to refuse.

But Yu Meiren, Xue Lan, and Shen Qiaoyan were all extremely excited.

They opened the jewelry box and put the sparkling necklaces on Cupid, on Choi Seol, and on themselves.

Ling Ziqian's face darkened. Those guys had been bribed!

Although some people disliked Fire Mom's approach, she had already made her stance clear, and with Cupid's confirmation, Ling Ziqian defined her as a good person.

Let's collect some ambiguous points first, then go to Tianhuo Group's company tomorrow and resolve this trouble!

Chapter 205 You wouldn't even dare to think about it!

After delivering the gift, Fire Mom and her secretary left together.

Yu Meiren and her group were excitedly fiddling with all sorts of jewelry.

Su Mingxi and Dou Xiaorong initially wanted to refuse. However, upon seeing the various beautiful necklaces, rings, and headdresses, they were all drawn to them.

Ling Ziqian went downstairs to check on the shop, feeling dejected.

Collecting ambiguous relationships is simply impossible these days! (Shinji Touko)

My phone rang; it was an unknown number calling.
