Chapter 0322: A Face Full of Fatigue (...)

ly explosive, and absolutely true. It was he who enabled Fatty to gather through channels of the CIA all the evidence of Wei Daode and Jiang Gang's corruption over the years. Even without Chen Ming's..."Mom," Ma hesitantly nestled her head in Aunt Zheng's arms, her eyes slightly moist and her voice trembling. Holding onto her mother's hand, she could feel the calluses on it. How tender those hands used to be! But for her education, they had aged prematurely.

"Shan Shan, don't cry, Mama just let you have a few good days." Auntie Zheng gently patted Shan Shan's back and said softly.

Sandy was nodding in Aunty Zheng's arms, saying, "Mom, I'm very happy and content. Really. My life now is already a good life."

Hearing her daughter's slow voice, Auntie Zheng couldn't help but let a tear fall from her eye. She forced the tears back and gently patted ShanShan's shoulder, saying, "Alright, my good girl, let's go upstairs."

“Mm.” ShanShan obediently nodded, climbed out of Zheng Yi’s arms, and secretly wiped the moisture from her eyes. She stood up from the chair, took Zheng Yi’s arm, and her face had calmed down. Although she was about to see Ye Fan who had examined her body, she still looked calm.

It seems she wasn't afraid to see Ye Fan.

Although Ye Fan was the first man to see her body, and he was a stranger.

Just as the two were about to go upstairs, the front door of the first floor hall was suddenly pushed open. The two stopped and turned their heads to look, only to see a haggard-looking Si Kong Yanran pushing the door open and sitting down, looking particularly tired.

Si Kong Yanran also saw the mother and daughter, her face immediately lit up with joy. Although she was already very tired, she still greeted them, saying: "Aunt Zheng, you're back Shan Shan, you came too"

Seeing Si Kong Yanran's tired appearance, Zheng Yi immediately loosened her daughter's grip and walked up to meet her. She took the handbag from Si Kong Yanran's hand and put it on the table, then helped her take off her cloak, and then brought slippers for Si Kong Yanran to change into. And Shan Shan walked over obediently and said, "Miss Si Kong, hello."

Si Kong Yanran reached out and touched Shan Shan's head, smiling softly, "Hello, little beauty." After a pause, she continued, "Your hair is really beautiful."

"Thank you." Shan Shan said with a proud face, uttering the words "thank you" and simultaneously revealing a faint smile: "My mom combed my hair for me."

"Aunt Zheng, you are so skilled." Si Kong Yanyan smiled faintly and turned to Aunt Zheng who was supporting her.

"Don't listen to the little girl talking nonsense." Auntie Zheng smiled a little awkwardly, helped Si Kong Yanran sit on the sofa, and immediately poured her a glass of water.

"By the way, has Xiaofan come back" Si Kong Yanran lifted her water glass and took a sip, glanced upstairs, then looked at Zheng Yi and said.

"I'm back," Zheng Yi nodded, but a complex expression flashed in her eyes. It was just that Si Kong Yanran's mind was on Ye Fan upstairs and she hadn't noticed it.

Siku Yanan had met Shan Shan before and wanted her to live here several times, but Shan Shan never agreed. There were still many houses here, but most of them were empty. Only Zheng Yi lived alone in one house. Siku Yanan lived in a large villa, but she still felt lonely.

So seeing Shan Shan come over today, she was still quite enthusiastic, even though she seemed very tired at the moment.

"Come sit here." She pulled Shanshan onto the sofa, and Si Kong Yanan then looked at Aunt Zheng and said, "Aunt Zheng, you should sit too. You've been busy all day, take a rest."

Auntie Zheng's eyes showed a glimmer of gratitude. After a moment of hesitation, she still sat down on the small sofa next to Princess Si Kong Yanran.

Seeing Aunt Zheng's hesitant expression, Si Kong Yanan understood what she wanted to say. She waved her hand and said, "Aunt Zheng, there's no need to explain. Sannan being here makes this room a little more lively. Besides, Sannan is so well-behaved and obedient, I quite like her."

Auntie Zheng's eyes were slightly red, and she nodded. Today was her daughter Shanshan's sixteenth birthday. She had picked up Shanshan from school in the afternoon and then the two of them went to the supermarket to buy some vegetables and a small cake that cost a few dollars.

After returning to the villa, Aunt Zheng used her own salary to buy vegetables and cooked four dishes and one soup to celebrate Shan Shan's birthday.

After dinner, she asked her daughter to take a bath while she went upstairs to tidy up the house. She was trying to let her daughter sleep in her own room that night, but unexpectedly, her daughter fainted in the bathroom and was just saved by Ye Fan. Now, Si Kong Yanran has returned. She wants to explain, but she doesn't know how to start.

As if understanding Zheng Yi's thoughts, Si Kong Yanran smiled softly and said, "Auntie Zheng, let Shanshan stay here tonight."

Aunt Zheng's body trembled slightly, her lips pressed tightly together, desperately trying to prevent her eyes from reddening. She was hesitating on how to tell Si Kong Yiran about this matter. After all, she wasn't the owner of this villa, and even, she was just a maid in the villa. She didn't dare to even dream of letting Shan Shan live here, even though Si Kong Yiran had requested it countless times

But now, Si Kong Yanran proactively asked to let Shan Shan stay.

It felt like a blessing to have met such a good master. Zheng Yi's heart brimmed with gratitude, and she was overwhelmed with emotion. She knew very well Si Kong Yanran's status in Linhai City. Such an influential figure, yet so kind and approachable, without any of the arrogance often seen in high-ranking officials.

Shan Shan's lips moved slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but she held back. She just lowered her head, her hands intertwined, but her expression remained very calm.

Siku Yanyan raised her water glass and took a sip, then stood up and said to Zheng Yi, "Aunt Zheng, you should rest early. I'll go upstairs and talk to Xiaofan."

"Miss Si Kong" Just then, Zheng Yi stood up a little flustered and said.

"What's wrong" Si Kong Yanran clearly noticed that Zheng Yi's face was a little off.

Aunt Zheng teased, opening and closing her mouth but not knowing what to say. She had originally planned to lead ShanShan upstairs to thank Ye Fan, but Si Kong Yanran's sudden return disrupted her plans. Besides, ShanShan was going to school tomorrow morning, so there would be no chance to thank Ye Fan in person.

So, she was a little anxious.

At this time, Shan Shan also stood up. She had a calm expression, her red lips slightly parted, describing what had just happened.

"Ah!" Hearing Shan Shan faint in the bathroom, Si Kong Yanran's face flashed with worry. Then hearing she was saved by Ye Fan, she smiled faintly. Later, hearing Ye Fan helped Shan Shan wipe her body, Si Kong Yanran smiled again.

For some reason, Shan Shan didn't hide anything and told Si Kong Yanran everything that had just happened.

After listening to Shanshan's detailed account, Si Kong Yanran nodded slightly, then waved her hand and said: "Well, I understand. You don't need to thank me face-to-face, it would make Xiao Fan feel embarrassed instead."

"No," Shan Shan said resolutely, "I must thank him in person."f trick were they playing"Why can't I just have a Coke Are you even willing to let me have one" Ye Fan asked with a smile.Xiao Hong bit her lips tightly, but remained silent. Huang Amo, however, was...
