When Ding Shan thought of the situation, she sighed with emotion, “At that time, I also couldn’t bear to see you standing there alone. Yang Hua said you were about to cry, so I thought of myself. Moreover, I saw that you were kind. Perhaps it was because of what others said. Just because of this, you have always stayed by my side. Don’t tell me you are doing this to repay my kindness, Haha.” Ding Shan laughed.
Xiao Zhao’s expression was severe. “I’m here to repay you, but not for the favor of you keeping me here, Sister Shan.”
Ding Shan thought about it and agreed. Xiao Zhao studied law. Ultimately, her talent was wasted to stay and be her assistant. Even if Yang Hua had removed her, Xiao Zhao could still find a better job. What was it for?
Ding Shan looked at Xiao Zhao suspiciously. “Then what do you owe me?”
Xiao Zhao was unusually calm and smiled. “You look at me kindly because we’ve met before. Do you still remember little Angel Welfare Institute, Charity Show, Little Mud?”
Ding Shan could not believe it. Her eyes widened in surprise. “Little mud? Is it you? You’ve grown so big!”
Xiao Zhao’s eyes were tears, “Yes, I’ve grown up. I studied hard because I wanted to be by your side. I studied law because I wanted to work by your side. “But when I first graduated, your studio didn’t hire any law firms, but I was so happy because being an assistant is better than doing law. I could always be by your side.”
Ding Shan’s eyes were also teary. There were some things that Xiao Zhao did not know, but in Ding Shan’s heart, everything was explained.
It was because Xiao Zhao had a history with her that she sincerely stayed by her side and helped her in every way.
In her previous life, even when Yang Hua fired her, Xiao Zhao did not give up on her and kept trying to contact her. Later, she became a famous manager in the industry and even came looking for her, saying that she wanted to save her.
Unfortunately, at that time, Ding Shan was utterly disheartened and no longer had any desire to survive. She was struggling to survive. Even if she were taken away by Xiao Zhao, she would not be able to return to being the Ding Shan that everyone was looking at. She would also drag down Xiao Zhao’s hard-earned results for nothing.
That was why Ding Shan rejected her. Even now, Ding Shan could not forget Xiao Zhao’s sad, broken, and skeptical eyes.
It was only until today that Ding Shan finally understood what kind of mood Xiao Zhao had after she was fired. She had grown step by step and become a famous manager, and what type of mood she had to save her, but she had come back empty-handed.
That was her sincere and genuine heart. She gritted her teeth and insisted on using the position that she had earned to protect and repay her, but in the end, she was rejected by Xiao Zhao.
She had let down such a sincere feeling because of her cowardice and incompetence.
Ding Shan wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and looked at Xiao Zhao with resentment. “Why are you so stupid? What do you have to repay me for? Just go and do your legal work properly! Why are you accompanying me through hardships? Why are you still…” Ding Shan could not say the rest.
Xiao Zhao smiled as she walked over and hugged Ding Shan, “Of course, I have to repay you! I’m just an orphan with no name. I was living a precarious life in the orphanage. Everyone was bullying me and stealing my food. I couldn’t beat anyone.
You held my hand and told me to be strong and protect myself. You also did not despise me and played with mud on the ground with me for a long time. Before I left, you asked for my name. I didn’t dare to tell you that I didn’t have a name. I could only tell you that I was called little mud. You also said that no wonder I like playing with mud so much…”
Xiao Zhao laughed as she spoke, “You have no idea. After you left, the director scolded me. He said that it wasn’t easy for a big celebrity to come to the charity show and that he could recruit some charity money, but he couldn’t find anyone in the end. She was kidnapped by a monkey like me to play in the mud in the backyard. He was so angry that his mouth was almost crooked, and his eyes were slanted. hahaha!”
Ding Shan also smiled, “I was scolded too. Ding Wan found a reporter and prepared to create a kind and sensible character for me. Ultimately, she caught me and saw that my skirt was full of mud stains, disrupting her plans and scolding me.”
Ding Shan and Xiao Zhao looked at each other and smiled. They were both happy with their childhood experiences.
Xiao Zhao grinned, “That day, I felt like I met a fairy. You were so beautiful. You landed beside me like a little fairy and left in a hurry. From then on, I ate like crazy. No one could beat me. I dominated the only television and watched you every day. I dreamed of growing up and finding you.”
