This voice… Why does it feel like she has heard it somewhere before?
Yan Xinxin paused in confusion for a moment before speaking.
"Um, hello, I'm Yan Chenxi's mother. My name is Yan Xinxin."
Mo Chuxi, who was browsing through Yan Xinxin's background information in his hands, heard her self-introduction and his deep gaze flickered with a trace of cold light.
"Thank you for bringing my son to the hospital. I wanted to thank you in person and return the advance payment for the fee you covered."
Yan Xinxin expressed her gratitude. Hearing silent contemplation on the other end of the phone, she cautiously probed.
"May I ask when you would be available?"
"Tomorrow morning at nine o'clock. Come to my office."
Amidst the still air, Mo Chuxi's decisive and chilly reply came through.
"… Huh?"
To his office?
Yan Xinxin was puzzled and dazed as the phone call was already cut off.
Looking at the name and address on the business card in her hand, Yan Xinxin still found it hard to believe.
The Crown Prince of Di Jue Financial Group—wasn't he rumored to be unapproachable and cold? Yet here he was, being so eager to help…
The next morning, after settling her son, Yan Xinxin headed out at the agreed-upon time to meet Mo Chuxi.
Di Jue Financial Group was situated in the most bustling district of Ancheng, housed in the city's tallest skyscraper. Stunning and majestic, it was a symbol of status and prestige.
Standing in front of Di Jue Financial Group's grand entrance, Yan Xinxin felt a bit conflicted.
Currently majoring in jewelry design, she hoped to one day become an outstanding jewelry designer. The jewelry design department at Di Jue Financial Group was precisely the place she aspired to work and advance in.
But she was well aware that her current design skills weren't yet adequate to enter such a specialized department.
"Yan Xinxin, what are you thinking? Just repay the money, express your thanks, and go back to fetch Xi. Stop overthinking!"
Talking to herself for a while, Yan Xinxin took a deep breath before stepping into Di Jue Financial Group's entrance, heading straight towards the elevators.
When the elevator doors opened, Yan Xinxin had just stepped one foot inside when a sudden strong wave of perfume wafted over. A woman wearing high heels hurriedly collided against her shoulder and darted into the elevator ahead.
Yan Xinxin stumbled and almost lost her balance.
"Yan Xinxin?"
Yan Zhirou turned inside the elevator, only then spotting Yan Xinxin standing outside. Her brow furrowed in surprise.
"Why are you here? What are you doing here?"
Hearing the questioning tone, Yan Xinxin finally raised her gaze, recognizing that the person who bumped into her was none other than her "dear little sister," Yan Zhirou.
Today, Yan Zhirou was dressed to the nines, flaunting a sexy little black dress paired with vibrant red lipstick.
Yan Xinxin remembered—today was Yan Zhirou's first day at work in Di Jue Financial Group. But with this kind of outfit, anyone who didn't know better might think she was attending a party.
Seeing Yan Xinxin ignoring her, Yan Zhirou felt a bit impatient.
"Yan Xinxin, are you deaf? I'm talking to you."
"Even if you're deaf, I wouldn't be. What I'm here for has nothing to do with you."
Yan Xinxin coolly retorted, withdrawing her gaze as she entered the elevator and pressed the button for the 18th floor herself.
The elevator doors closed, leaving only the two of them inside.
Yan Zhirou scoffed lightly, turning toward Yan Xinxin's cold little face.
"Yan Xinxin, as your sister, I'm kindly reminding you—don't forget to take post-event contraceptives because we wouldn't want a repeat of five years ago, giving birth to another nuisance to drag you down."
Upon hearing this, Yan Xinxin's face turned pale. Yan Zhirou, however, raised her charming gaze arrogantly and smiled with brilliance.
"Boss Zhao spending ten thousand yuan to sleep with you is your good fortune, Yan Xinxin. Weren't you in dire need of money? I've opened up a new world of possibilities for you. You should be thanking me instead. If you apologize to me now, I might still treat you as my elder sister."
