She said it deliberately; in her past life, she suffered so much, and if anyone had reached out to help, things wouldn’t have ended the way they did.
Han Jingchen despised such people even more, glancing at his daughter: "Mm, you’re right."
At this moment, someone noticed Han Jingchen: "Director."
Han Jingchen looked at the person speaking, thinking: Just saves me the trouble of finding them.
The person greeting was from the personnel department: "If what that lady said is true, then it’s inappropriate for someone with such poor conduct to remain in the unit."
With a single sentence, Han Jingchen determined that person’s fate.
But that woman was desperate, aware that no matter how much she argued, their marriage was doomed anyway, so she had no intention of compromising.
However, before leaving, Han Jingchen added: "But still, let him handle his family matters first, then deal with his work."
The person was shrewd and naturally understood the leader’s intent.
He also despised such vile people.
So after the director left, he found that man’s superior amidst the crowd, whispered a few words, and then departed.
Afterward, that man’s direct supervisor dispersed the onlookers, saying to the man, "Go handle your family matters first."
The man was naturally afraid of losing his job, nodding repeatedly, promising to return once everything was sorted out.
But he was overly optimistic, unaware that no one wanted to associate with someone who abandoned his wife and child.
Han Jingchen walked with Xinyan, explaining as they went, introducing Xinyan warmly to anyone who greeted them.
Before the end of the workday, news of Director Han’s daughter Han Xinyan visiting the office spread, attracting various compliments, envy, jealousy, and biting remarks.
Near the end of the workday, Su Jingsong returned from errands outside.
Han Jingchen chuckled: "I called your uncle earlier; tonight we’re going back to the old house for dinner."
Xinyan looked up and asked, "Are we going to discuss Second Brother’s engagement?"
Hearing his daughter’s mischievous smile, Han Jingchen replied: "Mm, the engagement date was set before, but your second brother couldn’t come back in time because of a task, so we had to postpone it."
As father and daughter chatted, Su Jingsong’s car drove out of the railway bureau.
Xinyan happened to see the mother and child trio from before, feeling a pang of sympathy for the woman.
Earlier, amid the crowd, she heard that despite her rural birth, the woman’s family was well-off, with five older brothers doting on her as their cherished daughter.
After the car passed, Xinyan retracted her gaze, sincerely hoping they would fare well in the days ahead.
Little did she know, their connection was far from incidental.
Han Jingchen naturally noticed the mother and child trio outside the car, seeing his daughter’s emotional shift, thinking she recalled her previous life in the countryside, inwardly cursing the Qiu Family again.
Upon arriving at the Han Family’s old house, the couple from the Han Family’s main branch was already home, preparing dinner.
Xinyan got out of the car and entered the yard first: "Uncle, Auntie, I’m back."
Su Aihong, hearing Xinyan’s voice, hurriedly stepped out of the kitchen: "You finally remembered to come home. Just a few days ago, your uncle and I were talking about you."
Xinyan knew her aunt truly cherished her, rushed forward to take her arm: "I’ll come back often from now on, just don’t find me annoying."
