My Dragon Baby and Billionaire Husband

Chapter 869: I’m Most Afraid of Women Crying, Especially You 2

After the assistant finished the call, a little deer nervously walked back and said to Si Mingjing, "Miss Si, our supervisor called the company CEO. The CEO said they will personally come to talk with you. Can you wait for a few minutes?"

Such a minor issue requires the CEO to handle it personally?

Si Mingjing raised an eyebrow and said helplessly, "Alright, how long do I need to wait?"

"At most five minutes. Our group is in the building next door; it’s very close."

After saying this, the assistant added, "Miss Si, can I take a photo with you and your husband?"

Si Mingjing slightly curled her lips and said, "You can take a photo with me, but not with my husband. I’m a bit petty and can’t tolerate my husband having the same style as others."

Mo Yinhe was standing nearby, admiring the jewelry. Hearing her words, he threw her a glance. Mo Yinhe held a dignified and aloof demeanor that kept people at a distance, and his aura was cold, preventing disrespect.

The little assistant regretfully nodded, "Miss Si, can we take the photo next to your mother’s wax statue?"

Si Mingjing found it agreeable and stood with the assistant on either side of the statue, taking a couple of selfies.

The assistant said excitedly, "Miss Si, can I post the photo on social media?"

Si Mingjing looked at the selfie; it turned out quite well. Casually, she said, "Feel free. Does my mother have any other works at your company? Are there any personal belongings left from when she used to work there?"

Asked this, the assistant couldn’t answer immediately and thought for a moment before saying, "Miss Si, I’ll ask when I return to the company. I only joined this company this year, so I’m not particularly familiar with past events."

"Alright, if there are any, please pass them on to me."

Si Mingjing continued admiring the jewelry in the exhibition hall and walked over to Mo Yinhe, taking the initiative to hold his hand.

Mo Yinhe took a fancy to a diamond tie clip and said, "Wifey, buy this for me."

Si Mingjing jokingly stepped on his foot, "Don’t you have your own money?"

"You rarely give me gifts. Men long for gifts too."

Mo Yinhe was stubborn and insisted that she buy it for him.

Not knowing what kind of odd taste he had, Si Mingjing said, "Alright, when their group’s CEO arrives, I’ll order two of these tie clips. If there’s anything else you fancy, feel free to choose."

Si Mingjing was wealthy, and her tone was arrogant. Mo Yinhe adored her bold and generous arm and wrapped it around her shoulder, saying, "My greatest wish in life was to find a rich woman and lie back; now my dream has finally come true."

After saying that, he kissed her cheek.

Si Mingjing almost laughed herself silly. Seeing a men’s diamond watch in the display case that looked nice, she said, "I’ll buy you this too. Consider it a gift from my mother to her son-in-law; choose whatever else you want."

While the two were picking out items, the jewelry group’s CEO and two supervisors hurried over.

From their panting, it was clear the three ran over.

Perhaps due to a lack of exercise, they seemed exhausted after running suddenly, panting heavily.

"Niece Si."

The female CEO so affectionately addressed her, saying, "I was just thinking of sending you an invitation letter, inviting you to visit the showroom. But I didn’t have your contact information. I never expected you to come on your own. I was your mom’s college classmate, and we were quite close. You can call me Aunt Ling."

"Hello, Aunt Ling."

Hearing her address her as Aunt Ling made the CEO very happy.

She was a woman in her forties, full of the competence of a professional woman and the style of someone in the design industry. Si Mingjing thought that if her mother hadn’t passed away, she might have been just as beautiful and graceful as this Aunt Ling.

Aunt Ling warmly held her hand and said, "I heard you want to purchase all of your mom’s design works? There’s no need to buy them. Auntie will give you an entire set. Are you free this evening? Auntie will treat you to dinner."

"No need to go through so much trouble."

"It’s no trouble at all. You’re Ayao’s daughter, so you’re like my own daughter. If Ayao hadn’t had that incident, I might have recognized you as my goddaughter when you were born. Don’t decline; Auntie insists on treating you, or your mom’s spirit in heaven will blame me."

Si Mingjing thought she could chat more with Aunt Ling over dinner, maybe learning more about her mother’s younger years, so she nodded and said, "Then I won’t be formal with Aunt Ling."

"No need to be formal. If you have time in the afternoon, you can come by our group to see where your mom used to work. Are you interested?"

Si Mingjing was indeed interested.

The assistant standing beside said, "CEO, Miss Si just asked me if there are any of Designer Si’s old belongings in the company. I’m new here and not particularly knowledgeable."

"Of course, there are! After your mom’s incident, I organized all of her old things. If you want them, you can come with me to the company to get them. I haven’t thrown away any of her things. She was such an exceptionally talented woman; if she hadn’t chosen the wrong man..."

Aunt Ling didn’t continue the sentence and said abruptly, "Let’s not talk about unhappy things. Come with me. I was your mom’s high school and college classmate. I have many photos and videos of her. I’ve been wanting to find a chance to give them to you, but you haven’t been in Yecheng this year, so I never had the opportunity."

Si Mingjing turned to ask Mo Yinhe, and Mo Yinhe said, "You go ahead; I happen to have something to take care of."

Mo Yinhe wouldn’t go; it didn’t suit his status.

He wouldn’t casually visit a group, giving that group prestige.

Si Mingjing understood and said, "I’ll remember to buy you gifts."

...

On the other side, Mrs. Chen called Professor Ye, with tears in her voice, "... It’s not that Miss Si is refusing to save her. A few days ago, Dr. Chang brought Miss Si to see the mother-in-law. The mother-in-law, harmed by traditional medicine before, was very resistant to it. She said many hurtful things, offending Miss Si. Now Miss Si is unwilling to help, but an old woman in the neighboring ward has already improved because of her help and is currently arranging discharge. Miss Si’s medical skills are truly exceptional."

Professor Ye asked over the phone, "What about the other doctors? The Third Hospital is the best in the country. Is there no one other than Miss Si who can treat her?"

Mrs. Chen explained, "Dr. Chang is already the best nephrologist. Even she is at a loss. She says the mother-in-law’s kidney failure is due to consuming traditional medicine. Western medicine tests can’t find the cause of the kidney failure, and it’d be best for someone skilled in traditional medicine to treat it. Dr. Chang suspects it’s due to a pharmacological clash, and there’s a problem with the prescription. In any case, the mother-in-law is now fixated on Miss Si. The only option is to appeal to you. Maybe only you can persuade Miss Si to let bygones be bygones and help."
