The Villain's Mother

Chapter 199 – So she was saying he was old? (3)

Even though the chubby kid was an angel most of the time, Ruan Xia knew that he couldn’t keep secrets. And so, even if it would suffocate her to keep her thoughts a secret, she wouldn’t treat this chubby kid as a confidant. This kid might sell her out in the blink of an eye.

Overly active brain activity was an illness.

Wasn’t Li Jing an example of that? She believed that if Li Jing didn’t have this problem and was a slightly more normal girl, then she would treat Song Tingshen as a untouchable god that could only be appreciated from afar. A normal girl wouldn’t have gone so far as to commit suicide... To put it plainly, her fantasizing had harmed her. If she had been slightly more realistic, it wouldn’t have led to trouble like this.

Song Tingshen hadn’t even said anything to her or expressed that he had feelings for her. If Li Jing continued to fantasize without any basis, would she think Song Tingshen was interested in her? That he liked her?

Anyways, Ruan Xia discovered that it was important to not overthink things when it came to a straightforward man’s thoughts. If a man was really interested in you, you wouldn’t have to spend any time overthinking things. Through practical actions, he would have made it clear to you. If she had already planned out what color pajamas she would wear in the future when the other party hadn’t even said or done anything to show his interest, that was very bad!

Ruan Xia picked up Little Wang and tucked him into bed. “Mom’s not thinking about anything. Ai, it’s more comfortable sleeping with you.”

So she shouldn’t continue to fantasize anymore. Just go to sleep with her chubby son.

In the other bedroom, Song Tingshen was still puzzled after pondering over the issue many times. He wasn’t even in the mood to work overtime anymore.

If he and Ruan Xia were two people that had met on a blind date, what step were they currently at? As a person that didn’t have any dating experience, Song Tingshen felt that he had expressed his position clear enough. So why didn’t she show any response?

The next day, after Song Tingshen arrived at work, he didn’t forget about Li Jing’s matter. He called the HR manager and the head of the Finance Department to his office.

Those two people met outside his office. They were both confused why CEO Song would call both of them over at the same time. People from the HR Department and Finance Department usually didn’t have much contact.

Assistant Chen led the two people into the office, and Song Tingshen temporarily put aside what he was working on. He said to the head of the Finance Department, “Li Jing is in your department. Her relative asked you from time off for her. She won’t be coming back to work again. Discuss with HR whether or not to hire someone to replace her. Also, have a staff in the Finance Department clean out Li Jing’s desk and set aside her personal belongings.”

The head of the Finance Department was even more confused. This sounded like Li Jing had resigned, but why did CEO Song have to personally tell him about the resignation of an entry level employee? Could it be that the rumors were true? Was there a close connection between Li Jing and CEO Song? But CEO Song didn’t show any special care for her.

Song Tingshen looked at the HR manager next. “The company is dismissing Li Jing. If she had already become a permanent employee, then pay out her severance pay in accordance to the labor law. Everything should follow the rules.”

The HR manager and the head of the Finance Department looked at each other in confusion.

He wanted to dismiss Li Jing?

So then, did Li Jing have a nepostic connection to the CEO? If that was true, then this had to be the most bitter one in history. The CEO was actually dismissing her himself.
