Ding Ruola had some knowledge about the affairs between the Gu and Fang families. Although she didn't know the exact details, she was aware of the general outcome.
What Mother Fang said probably meant that she knew Gu Qianxue had been used by someone.
And this person who used Gu Qianxue should be directly related to the death of Gu Qianxue's mother back then.
Ding Ruola stayed in her hometown for a while longer. Since she rarely came back, it was only right for her to accompany her parents well.
Moreover, Fang Siyan also had some business to handle here, so neither of them wasted too much time.
"Ruoruo, isn't the time a bit tight? How about not going to work tomorrow!"
Mother Fang held Ding Ruola's hand. She didn't want Ding Ruola to leave. She had lived alone for so long, and suddenly having such a fun - loving girl around, she would feel unaccustomed if Ding Ruola left.
However, the Fang family was really a large and wealthy family. They always advised others not to go to work.
Fang Siyan did it before, and now Mother Fang was doing the same.
The girl finally understood that this "domineering CEO" temperament was indeed hereditary.
"We'll come back during the Double Ninth Festival."
Ding Ruola had to go back. She heard that Mei Xuejian hadn't come to work for two days. If she didn't go back, the people in the company would become unruly.
On one hand, she was worried about the affairs of the Soraka Studio, and on the other hand, she was worried about Mei Xuejian.
A person who was so enthusiastic about work suddenly not coming to work was a bit hard to explain.
When Ding Ruola returned to the company, she found that Mei Xuejian still hadn't come to work.
The Ding family's influence was not in the capital, and it was difficult for Ding Ruola to understand the situation of the Mei family.
The only person in the company who had some connection with the four major families in the capital was Lu Hui.
Lu Hui hadn't been very focused on work these days. She had made several mistakes in a row.
Ding Ruola really couldn't bear it. If things went on like this, Soraka would surely go bankrupt.
"Huihui, what has Mei Xuejian been up to these days?"
When Lu Hui heard the name Mei Xuejian, her face showed melancholy, as if something unchangeable had happened.
"You know about the matter between the Mei and Su families. They are being forced to get married."
Lu Hui regretted it very much. She even wanted to run to ask Grandpa Lu why he hadn't made good relations with the Mei family back then.
She bit the penholder and sat in front of Ding Ruola, looking like a resentful woman.
"Go back to work!"
The affairs of the four major families in the capital were not something Ding Ruola could interfere with. She sat for a while and then directly opened Word. She decided to edit a recruitment advertisement.
Excellent Graphic Designer!
She was wondering if she should ask Ning Qing for help. Ning Qing was in the United States these days and should have a lot of free time. Even if she couldn't be a regular employee of the company, it would be a good choice to hire her externally.
Just as she was about to finish editing the message to send to Ning Qing, Mei Xuejian sent her a message.
[Mei Xuejian: I'm at Times Square now. Come and pick me up!]
Ding Ruola looked at the message and swallowed hard.
After confirming that Mei Xuejian hadn't sent the wrong message, she took Lu Hui with her.
It wasn't that Ding Ruola wanted to play matchmaker and create opportunities for Mei Xuejian and Lu Hui. The main reason was that she couldn't drive, so she had to take a person who could drive with her.
After the two of them arrived at Times Square, they searched the mall but couldn't find Mei Xuejian. Finally, they found him in the queuing line of a certain place.
"Were you robbed?"
Ding Ruola didn't know how to describe Mei Xuejian's disheveled appearance exactly.
The boy's slippers were brand - name, but he didn't know where he had walked, and they were all covered in mud. He was wearing a short - sleeved home clothes.
"Let's buy you some clothes first, and then go back to the studio."
Ding Ruola glanced at Mei Xuejian. He didn't have much on him, and the phone in his hand looked broken.
The screen was so broken that no one would even pick it up if it was dropped on the ground now.
Lu Hui reached out and removed the leaf on Mei Xuejian's head.
"This one is nice! Buy it!"
While Ding Ruola was still hesitating about what to buy for Mei Xuejian, Lu Hui had already hugged a pile of clothes and went to check out.
There were also several couple's shirts in it.
Was this considered self - seeking?
Mei Xuejian didn't refuse Lu Hui's kindness either. Finally, the three of them managed to return to the company.
Ding Ruola found a quiet place and asked Mei Xuejian about his situation in the past few days.
Actually, it wasn't the Mei family's problem, but mainly the Su family's.
The head of the Su family suddenly had a heart attack and was hospitalized. As a result, the heirs of the Su family began to fight.
In order to get more shares, Su Manna Yi thought of marrying into the Mei family.
Although it had been agreed before, since the two children were not willing, the matter had been put on hold. Now the situation was different.
The family members directly forced them without asking for the two children's consent.
As long as Mei Xuejian didn't agree to this marriage, the Mei family wouldn't let him go.
Taking advantage of the fact that his parents were in a meeting today and the old housekeeper at home doted on him, Mei Xuejian found an excuse and managed to run out.
When he ran out, his phone fell from the second floor and the screen was broken. After that, he couldn't pay or conduct any transactions.
Relying on his little familiarity with the phone interface, he found Ding Ruola and sent her a message.
"So what should we do now?"
Ding Ruola wasn't really concerned about Mei Xuejian. What she was most concerned about was whether Mei Xuejian could go to work in the future.
"I don't know much about my family's situation, but I heard that Su Man is threatening to commit suicide!"
Su Man?
Ding Ruola found it a bit unbelievable. Su Man was so strong - willed. How could she do something that didn't match her character?
But it was also possible!
"Should I contact Su Man?"
Ding Ruola thought that she and Su Man had been good friends for half a year. They had gone through thick and thin together, so it was quite appropriate to call and express concern now.
Mei Xuejian had pretended not to like Su Man before in order not to be forced by his family. Now that there were no outsiders, he was actually very worried about Su Man.
He had always regarded Su Man as a younger sister, and now that something had happened to her, he was very worried.
"No one answered!"
Ding Ruola called several times but got the same result.
She shrugged and handed the phone to Mei Xuejian, specifically letting him listen to the operator's prompt tone.
"What should we do now?"
Ding Ruola leaned against the wall. Looking at the several missed calls on the phone, she thought for a while and then sent another message to Su Man.
[Su Man: Are you coming to my birthday?]
There was no reply from the other side.
Ding Ruola just wanted to create an opportunity for this girl to leave the Su family.
Later, Fang Siyan came to pick Ding Ruola up.
Without noticing, Ding Ruola accidentally let out the matter between the Mei and Su families.
"You'd better not get involved in this matter!"
These capitalists must have some means to have reached this position.
If Ding Ruola got involved, she would be the one who suffered. Those big and powerful families in the capital were not something ordinary people could deal with.
