She was fired after she refused to be the CEO's dog licker.

Chapter 578 Mud

When I saw this woman, I was stunned for a moment before I recognized her: "Mrs. Yan?"

Yesterday, Mrs. Yan sent me a message inviting me to dinner tonight. I replied to the message last night, saying that it was not convenient for me as I already had an appointment tonight. She didn't reply, so I assumed that she had seen my reply.

But I didn't expect that she would come directly to my company to block me.

"Miss Meng, can I borrow half an hour of your time to talk?" Mrs. Yan's expression and tone were pleading.

She didn't say she would treat me to a meal, she just said she wanted to borrow my time for half an hour. I was left hanging in the air and had to nod and agree.

Since it would only take half an hour, I took her directly to the coffee shop downstairs in the company. Because I wanted to go to bed early tonight, I didn't order coffee like Mrs. Yan did. I just asked for a glass of water.

"Madam, what do you want to talk to me about?" I asked.

Mrs. Yan was a very gentle and elegant woman. She always spoke with a slight smile and was very amiable. Her slender, white fingers gently rested on the edge of the coffee cup and said with a smile, "Last time, Miss Meng helped me try on clothes. I always wanted to thank you, but I never had the chance. Today I finally found the opportunity."

Trying on clothes?

That was a matter lighter than a feather and not worth mentioning at all. Why would he need to make such a fuss to come to me for dinner to express his gratitude?

Besides, that happened so long ago. Even if she wanted to thank me, she shouldn't have waited so long to come.

This is obviously an excuse.

I immediately said, "It's just a small favor, Madam, don't worry about it. Besides, Madam, you have already thanked me before, so there is really no need to thank me again."

"That's different. Verbal thanks are too insincere." Mrs. Yan said anxiously.

"Okay, now I feel your sincerity, can you rest assured?" I nodded, and then asked, "Is there anything else you want to talk to me about?"

I really want to go home and sleep. I really don't want to waste my time on meaningless things. I don't have time to hang around with this Mrs. Yan.

Sometimes being direct is more my style.

"No, I'm looking for Miss Meng just for this matter." Mrs. Yan hesitated for a moment, still smiling.

She made excuses to cover it up, and even at this point she still refused to reveal her real purpose.

But this is exactly what I want, I immediately stood up and said: "It's like this, I have some urgent things to deal with. Since Madam has no other urgent matters, I will take my leave first..."

"Miss Meng!" Mrs. Yan, who was elegant and leisurely just now, showed anxiety on her face. She didn't even care about her dignified image and grabbed my wrist. "I do have something important to ask you. Can you please stay a little longer and listen to me?"

I knew it, she must have other purposes.

I sat back down. "What's going on?"

"It's... about Yan Dong." Mrs. Yan's face showed confusion, and she twisted her fingers for a while before she spoke.

It is indeed about the severe winter.

I sighed quietly in my heart, and then I heard Madam Yan say, "This kid is really honest. Before, his father and I urged him to go on a blind date, but he always said that he had no plans to get married. He also said that he had a favorite girl and that he was already dating her. But when his father and I asked him, he refused to say who it was."

Hmm? Already in a relationship? This doesn't seem to have anything to do with me, right? Yan Dong and I have always been friends. He confessed to me, but I never agreed, let alone talked to him.

Then the girl he was talking about was definitely not me.

I was just about to tell Mrs. Yan the truth.

"His father thought he had some shady dealings with someone outside, and he warned him again and again that people outside were just for fun, and that in a family like ours, marriage must be between people of equal status." Madam Yan continued, her tone somewhat sad and heavy, "He had a big fight with his father because of this, and he hasn't been home for a long time. He used to be such a well-behaved and sensible child, but now he threatened his father that if he didn't agree, he wouldn't come home anymore."

I was very surprised to hear this.

After knowing Yan Dong for so many years, I think I have some understanding of him. He has a very gentle and kind personality and is the typical good child in other people's families.

Being able to have a big fight with family members is Yuan Tianye's style, and it would never happen to Yan Dong. It is really hard for me to imagine that Yan Dong could make such a fuss with his parents.

I was even a little curious about who the girl Yan Dong liked was, and for whom he did such a rebellious thing that he even refused to enter the house.

Mrs. Yan held my hand tightly at this moment, and her bright eyes looked at me eagerly: "Ms. Meng, we really didn't know that Yan Dong liked you at first. In fact, I have a very good impression of you. If he had said it earlier, we wouldn't have come to this point, right?"

What she said really confused me.

I knew that Yan Dong had confessed to me, but I never agreed to be with him or have a relationship with him.

If he had such a bad relationship with his family because he wanted to be with someone, that person definitely wasn't me.

Why did Mrs. Yan say that Yan Dong was doing this for me?

"Mrs. Yan, I think you must have made a mistake. Yan Dong and I are just friends. We have never been in a relationship. He definitely isn't doing this for me." I hurriedly waved my hands to explain.

"I definitely won't make a mistake. Yan Dong said it himself. You're the only one he likes. I also accidentally saw his diary from college, and it was all about you." But Mrs. Yan held my hand tightly and refused to let go. Her tone became more urgent and sincere: "Xu Xu, you know, I liked you very much when I first saw you. At that time, I thought that it would be very suitable for a girl like this to marry our Yan Dong. But no one wants to see things get to this point. I want to ask you for help. Tell Yan Dong that I agree to your relationship."

"Tell him to stop hiding from me and go home to have a good talk with his father. I will also do some ideological work on his father. You two can still discuss your issues, and his father will agree."

Mrs. Yan revealed even more information. I was so shocked that I was speechless after listening to these words.

Has the severe winter ever recorded me in a diary?

Mrs. Yan knew that he liked me, but the Yan family did not agree to let a girl of my family marry into a rich family.

Now Yan Dong threatened to not go home, and Mrs. Yan gave in, but Mr. Yan still refused to agree...

"Ma'am, I think you still misunderstood." After a brief moment of surprise, I digested all this information and denied it again with difficulty.

But before I could finish my words, Mrs. Yan looked up, as if she saw an acquaintance, and smiled and greeted me from behind: "Wenting, great, you are here too."
