70s Delicate Girl: A Guide to Being a Rich Woman
Chapter 593: In the Spotlight
"Boss lady, I brought a hemp rope over." A young man came running over, holding a hemp rope. He was the store manager at a nearby jade shop and had seen the boss lady during one of Yin Yang’s meetings.
He was quite surprised to see the boss lady.
But soon he became worried, especially seeing that man holding a knife, intending to stab Xu Mumu, which nearly scared him into tripping.
Fortunately, Xu Mumu had thrown the man out, the crisis was averted, and the young man swiftly brought his tools over.
"It’s you, hurry up and tie him up." Noticing the hemp rope he carried was thick and long, Xu Mumu looked at him with satisfaction.
"Yes, boss lady." The man immediately nodded.
Xu Mumu gently soothed her son. Finding Yin Yang’s subordinate here wasn’t surprising at all since several shops around here were businesses of the Yin Family.
The youth before her was the store manager at the jade shop, quite capable and a trusted person of Yin Yang.
Soon, the thief was tied up securely. The young man respectfully handed Xu Mumu’s money back to her.
Xu Mumu didn’t take the money but instead told the young man Nan Hongchao, "Today my younger siblings did well on their exams. Take this money and buy some food for the staff at nearby stores."
"Alright, I’ll thank the boss lady on their behalf." Nan Hongchao said with a smile.
The little guy was still crying, and Xu Mumu gently comforted him. He had just fallen asleep and was woken up, which made him quite unhappy.
The police arrived shortly afterward. Xu Mumu briefly explained the situation, and with plenty of witnesses to testify for her, the thief was taken away.
Once the little guy had woken up, he didn’t go back to sleep.
After exchanging a few words with Nan Hongchao, Xu Mumu left with her son.
On the way out, Xu Mumu gave a large apple from the stroller to the young man who had helped her call the police.
As she walked away with her son, Xu Mumu could hear people talking about her.
Even though she hadn’t intended to stand out today, she inevitably did. Since Nan Hongchao, the jade shop manager, was recognized by some, and they called her "boss lady," people naturally became more curious about Xu Mumu.
Xu Mumu wiped away the tears from her son’s eyes and inwardly cursed the thief.
The little guy still looked listless, making Xu Mumu feel a bit distressed.
Upon arriving at the company, Yin Yang was already out looking for her. Seeing that she and the child were both safe, even though he’d received a call from Nan Hongchao, he was still startled.
"Honey, are you guys okay?" Yin Yang still worriedly asked, taking the child from Xu Mumu’s arms.
"We’re fine. Don’t you know my skills? It’s just that this small bag got ruined. It was the bag you bought for me." Xu Mumu said a bit regretfully. The man’s knife was sharp, and even though the bag wasn’t leather, it still got a deep, long cut.
"As long as you’re okay. I’ll get you a better one next time." Yin Yang immediately replied. It was just a bag, and it was the design that was appealing, allowing Xu Mumu to carry some money when going out.
"Okay, a light blue one, please." Xu Mumu said with a smile, not wanting to contradict him at this moment.
"Alright, all according to your wishes." Yin Yang nodded with a smile, carrying his son and leading his little wife up to his office.
"Oh, I almost forgot. I came here to ask you to have a meal. Jiaojiao and the others did well in their exams. My mom wants to have a small gathering, and I’ve already invited grandpa and the others. I came to get you now, though I didn’t expect those incidents to happen on the way." Xu Mumu said as she sipped the tea brought by the assistant and stated her purpose.
"How did Jiaojiao and the others do?" Yin Yang curiously asked. If the little wife says it’s good, then it must be really good.
"Jiaojiao is the top science student, and Minglei and the others aren’t far behind. The schools they applied to will all accept them." Xu Mumu said with a pleased smile, in a very good mood.
"That’s great news! I don’t have much to do here. You and Doudou can stay here and play for a while. I’ll handle things on my end, and we can go back together," Yin Yang said warmly.
Then he took out a small doll from the drawer for him to play with.
"Alright, you go ahead. My second uncle and third uncle will probably be here soon." Xu Mumu quickly said.
With his dad around, the little guy was lively, clutching the little doll his dad gave him with joy and then tried to bite its head.
Luckily, Xu Mumu noticed quickly and swiftly pulled the rag doll a little away.
Ever since the little guy started on solid foods, anything he got his hands on, he wanted to put in his mouth.
The little one already has two little teeth and is eager to bite everything.
Xu Mumu looked at her son helplessly. When would the little guy grow up to ease her mind?
She poured some hot water to make a bottle of milk for the little one. As he grew older, after six months, she started breastfeeding him less frequently.
The aroma of the milk powder quickly caught the little one’s attention, diverting his desire to bite the stuffed doll.
The little guy drinks milk formula every day, so he’s familiar with the taste.
"Little glutton." Watching the little guy intensely staring at the bottle, Xu Mumu tapped his little nose. It was still a bit hot, so she’d wait until it cooled down a bit before feeding him.
Once the temperature was just right, the little guy couldn’t wait any longer and grabbed the bottle to drink.
Xu Mumu felt a bit helpless. This little guy had quite the appetite, eating more than most kids. Otherwise, he’d get hungry quickly.
Yin Yang, while reviewing some documents, looked up and saw his son looking adorable, making him smile.
This kid was really strong and grew well. He can crawl all over now. If it weren’t for his legs not being strong enough, he’d be trying to get up and run around everywhere.
It was after processing the documents that about half an hour had passed.
"Are you tired? Do you want to rest a bit before we leave?" Xu Mumu poured a cup of tea for Yin Yang and asked, seeing him look a bit fatigued.
"No need, I’m not that tired. I have plenty of time to rest this afternoon with you and our child," Yin Yang replied with a smile.
As they were leaving the company with their child, Yin Yang instructed Zhou Yunhong to follow up on the matter regarding the thief. Stealing from his wife couldn’t be ignored. As she mentioned, the thief was a habitual offender, and he wanted someone to gather more evidence of his crimes, ensuring he wouldn’t just be released after a few days in custody.
The couple left with their child, and Zhou Yunhong went to handle the thief’s case. Zhou Yunhong also thought the thief had poor judgment. Of all people to steal from, why choose Xu Mumu? The strength of this family head’s wife was something he had witnessed.
