Susu watched Qin Tianyi leave the villa directly. He didn't ask Xiao Lin to drive, but drove away himself. Looking at the breakfast he had barely touched, she lost her appetite.
At this moment, Chen Ma, accompanying Sophie who had changed her clothes, came to the restaurant again. Not seeing Tianyi, she asked, "Young Madam, where is Young Master? Why did he leave without eating much of his breakfast?"
"Oh, there must be an urgent matter at the group," Susu's mood immediately plummeted. They hadn't argued like this in a long time.
Sophie, however, became happy and relaxed again. She sat next to Susu and said, "Then let's eat. You should eat more."
Susu nodded and calmed down, feeling that she shouldn't have argued with Tianyi just now. When people talk back and forth, emotions can get out of control.
If she were in his shoes, and Tianyi casually gave away a gift she had given him to someone else, she would also be angry.
Susu decided to send Sophie back to her residence after Sophie finished breakfast and have the nanny take care of her.
She had to consult with a psychological expert again to see how best to help Sophie in her current situation.
After Susu accompanied Sophie for breakfast, she still sent Sophie back to her residence first.
Sophie didn't insist on staying at the seaside villa and sat obediently in the car, letting Susu drive her back.
When they arrived at Sophie's residence, Susu repeatedly instructed the nanny on what to pay attention to, making sure Sophie wouldn't get lost again.
The nanny wrote down everything Susu said in a notebook. After all, she had a nursing background and assured Susu that she would take good care of Sophie.
Seeing that it was getting late, Susu said a few more words to Sophie and prepared to go to the studio.
But Sophie pulled her, not wanting her to leave, and said, "Susu, when we were at the villa, I heard you say you would live with me. Will you come and accompany me after work?"
Unexpectedly, Sophie had overheard her argument with Tianyi. Chen Ma must have heard it too, and she must be worried about them now.
Susu sat down again helplessly and patiently said to Sophie, "Tianyi is a bit petty and jealous. He's even jealous of you, which is why we argued just now. But what you say during an argument shouldn't be taken seriously. I, I will still go home after work, after all, there are children at home. Sophie, Tianyi's words can be harsh, but some of what he says isn't entirely unreasonable..."
Sophie's whole demeanor immediately turned dim and listless. She interrupted Susu and asked, "You're not going to look after me anymore? I'm sorry for disturbing your life last night and this morning, and for causing trouble, but I really didn't mean to. I get scared when I'm alone in the dark, and this morning I just wanted to dress up nicely. Wearing red makes me look energetic. I... I..."
She couldn't continue speaking, twisting her hands nervously with anxiety and frustration.
Susu held her hands and said, "I know, I know everything. You haven't caused me any trouble, and I won't abandon you. I'll still take you shopping and to see a psychologist. By the way, tell me what you want to eat and where you want to go... But you need to truly start over and strengthen your inner self. Su Kangxi and I were both tormented by Yang Sijie, and we are both working hard to overcome the hurdles in our hearts and have started anew. You need to have confidence in yourself. The past is not your fault, do you understand?"
Sophie looked at her, gritted her teeth, and nodded, "Okay, I understand. I will learn from you."
Susu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good. Rest a bit longer, and I'll go to work..."
"Susu, I don't want to be idle at home. I want to go to work too," Sophie said sadly. "Did Mishang Company fire me? They don't want me to go to work anymore?"
"No, Qingchuan means for you to rest for a few more days, adjust yourself well, and then come back when you're feeling better."
Sophie held Susu's hand back and asked cautiously, "Can I work at your studio?"
Susu was slightly taken aback and didn't answer immediately.
She quickly explained, "Mishang is indeed good, and it's a great fashion company. But its design department is too large, with many people in one office, and mostly male designers. In such an environment, I easily get nervous. I'm afraid of myself, of losing control again."
Susu felt that what Sophie said was also true. It was her own carelessness before that she hadn't considered this.
"It was my oversight. I thought being a designer at Mishang was your forte, but I didn't think of this," Susu said apologetically. "I didn't expect you to have so much pressure after joining Mishang."
Sophie said, "Your studio needs designers too, right? Your place has fewer people, which is more suitable for me. You don't want me to be idle like this all the time, do you?"
"Alright, you rest for one more day today, and come to my studio tomorrow," Susu agreed. "The studio has taken on many orders recently, and we are indeed short-handed. Why didn't I think of this earlier? If you come to the studio, I can also look after you."
Sophie immediately became happy, hugged her, and kissed her on the cheek, "Darling, that's great! I won't be idle anymore!"
Susu smiled and pulled her away, "You feel much better now, right? Don't overthink things. Read some design-related materials when you have time. I'm going to work now."
"Go ahead," Sophie waved to her, feeling very happy at the thought of seeing her every day starting tomorrow.
Susu came out of Sophie's residence and drove to the studio. Although she had readily agreed to Sophie just now, she was already getting a headache thinking about how to tell Qin Tianyi about this, knowing he would definitely get angry and object when he found out.
She hadn't even figured out how to appease the young master after their argument, and now there was another matter that would anger him. She could only play it by ear when she got home today.
...
Xiao Anjing waited outside Qin Tianyi's office. He saw that four department heads had already been kicked out of the office by Qin Tianyi that morning. He regretted not checking the almanac before leaving home and shouldn't have chosen this day to return to the group.
He quietly asked the secretary at the door, Helen, "President Qin, did you eat a barrel of gunpowder today? With this low-pressure bombing, the entire Aoxiang Building will be detonated."
Helen shrugged. "As soon as he arrived, his face was as dark as Bao Qingtian. President Qin hasn't been like this in a long time."
Xiao Anjing thought that Qin Tianyi had probably argued with his wife at home again.
After the fifth supervisor was kicked out, Xiao Anjing considered going back to rest for another day and coming tomorrow.
However, Secretary Helen pushed him and said, "President Xiao, you can go in now."
But at this moment, he couldn't appear timid in front of other employees, so he braced himself and walked into Qin Tianyi's office.
Helen watched his retreating back, felt deep sympathy for him, and smiled with schadenfreude.
Qin Tianyi, with his head down, didn't even look at who had entered and said in a deep voice, "Bring me the summary of recent work."
"I've been recuperating at home recently. Where would I get a work report?"
