Through the crack of the door, Qiu Feng was facing away from it, still wearing that green wool coat, but this time the green looked very vibrant.
Qiu Feng was animatedly recounting her recent experience at National Taiwan University, and sitting across from her was Chen Shanni.
Autumn Wind stood dumbfounded at the door, peering through the long and narrow crack. Chen Shanni's heavily made-up face, with a thick layer of foundation, was fully visible to Autumn Wind. Her pale face contrasted sharply with her blood-red lips, which was quite alarming.
Qiu Feng's voice floated out from the crack, "I was so scared just now! I thought I was going to be crushed!" From behind, she seemed to be gathering her hair in front of her, her shoulders slightly shaking, and then she let out a long sigh.
Chen Shanni placed her arm in front of Qiu Feng, gently holding her hand and softly saying, "It's good that you're okay! You're a singer now and have many events to attend. I think you should ask the company to send more people with you just in case!"
As Chen Shanni spoke, her hand lightly tapped on Qiu Feng's hand a few times.
"Wow, what a beautiful watch!" Qiu Feng immediately noticed the shiny limited edition Casio Diamond Watch on Chen Shanni's wrist. Autumn Wind couldn't see Qiu Feng's face, but from her tone, Autumn Wind guessed that Qiu Feng's eyes were sparkling with envy.
Chen Shanni withdrew her arm. "It's nothing; a friend gave it to me!"
"It must be Mr. Qiu! She must care about you a lot! I'm so envious; Mr. Qiu is rich and handsome!" Qiu Feng said with a hint of helplessness. "Not like me!"
A barely concealed pride appeared on Chen Shanni's face as she smiled slightly. "It's just a watch; it's no big deal. But you need to remember what I just said! Get them to send more people!"
Seeing Chen Shanni's radiant smile and thinking about how Qiu Mowen personally put the watch on Chen Shanni's wrist made Autumn Wind feel a tightness in her chest, as if a piston had blocked her breath. Her body trembled slightly as she uncontrollably leaned forward and pushed the door open.
Chen Shanni's smiling face suddenly froze. "What is this?"
"Hey, Autumn Wind, you're here just in time!" As soon as Autumn Wind entered, Qiu Feng immediately stood up and walked to the door to pull her in. "Come on, you met Shan Ni last time; this is my new assistant, Autumn Wind, Wendy!"
Chen Shanni also stood up, still wearing a slight smile on her face. She extended her right hand toward Autumn Wind. "We meet again!"
The golden light from Casio immediately pierced Autumn Wind's eyes. Autumn Wind really wanted to close her eyes and escape the brightness. She suppressed her excitement and silently extended her hand, "Hello, I am Wendy!"
But just as she was about to shake Chen Shanni's hand, Chen Shanni withdrew hers. Autumn Wind suddenly found herself grasping at nothing. Looking at Chen Shanni, the smile on her face had transformed into a slightly provocative smirk.
Autumn Wind's hand hung in the air, unable to retract or continue, as if it had been frozen in place.
Fortunately, Qiu Feng did not notice this. After finishing her self-introduction, when Chen Shanni and Autumn Wind were about to shake hands, Qiu Feng walked over to the sofa, picked up her bag, and started rummaging through it.
As Autumn Wind stood there frozen, Qiu Feng suddenly screamed, "Wow, I finally found it! Look, Autumn Wind, this is your work badge!" She rushed in front of Autumn Wind and hung a blue cord around her neck. "Look, this will be your work ID from now on!"
Seizing the opportunity, Autumn Wind retracted her suspended hand. She looked down at the blue cord that Qiu Feng had draped around her neck; attached was a paper with her photo on it. She had no words and immediately turned to look at Chen Shanni.
However, Chen Shanni seemed unfazed by what had just happened, still wearing a gentle and graceful expression. When she noticed Autumn Wind looking at her, she stuck out her tongue and greedily licked her lips.
A chill ran down Autumn Wind's back, leaving her feeling cold all over.
At that moment, Qiu Feng spoke again, "Autumn Wind, I don't have any activities today. Tomorrow, you come to the company first and then go home with Driver Lao Zhou to pick me up. We need to go to Miaoli!"
Qiu Feng excitedly placed both hands on Autumn Wind's shoulders. "Now we have something to do!"
Autumn Wind's cold body moved stiffly for a moment. She was actually quite happy for Qiu Feng, but she couldn't show any expression because behind Qiu Feng stood Chen Shanni, who was elegantly posing in various ways to showcase the brilliance of Casio Diamond Watch from different angles.
"I still need to discuss the next album's songs with Shan Ni later. I think you can go home for now! We'll work together tomorrow!" Qiu Feng gently patted Autumn Wind's shoulder.
Chen Shanni struck a classic pose reminiscent of Audrey Hepburn, one arm wrapped around the elbow of the other arm while lightly resting her hand on the corner of her mouth. Her lips quivered slightly as she made a kissing gesture towards Autumn Wind.
Faced with such provocation, Autumn Wind surprisingly did not react at all. She quickly avoided Chen Shanni's gaze, lowered her head, and said, "Okay! I'm leaving now!" Without waiting for Qiu Feng to respond, she swiftly escaped from the room.
Every move of Chen Shanni felt like a sword piercing into Autumn Wind, leaving no blood but causing a deep, bone-chilling pain in her body.
What was even more tragic was that she did not understand why Chen Shanni wanted to hurt her! Did Chen Shanni discover her relationship with Qiu Ruolan, or had she found out about her past with Qiu Mowen?
In fact, regardless of which it was, Autumn Wind felt powerless to defend herself.
Autumn Wind walked down to the first floor in a daze. Just as she reached the atrium on the first floor, her phone rang. It was an app message from Qiu Ruolan: "Are you free to come home for a bit? I need to talk to you!"
Autumn Wind replied, asking: "What is it?"
After a long while, Qiu Ruolan sent another message: "I want to move in with Linda!"
Linda was Qiu Ruolan's new boyfriend, that hot young man.
Autumn Wind immediately understood; this was Qiu Ruolan subtly reminding her to go back and pack her things. The anger from being humiliated by Chen Shanni surged up again.
F***! Isn't the goddess most afraid of people knowing about her love life? I live there and you want me to hide away while you keep a man without fear of being caught! In the end, I'm just a foster daughter, someone who can't be seen!
As if being humiliated by Chen Shanni wasn't enough, you want to drive me away too! Fine, I'll leave! I will go without causing you any trouble!
Fueled by anger, Autumn Wind rushed out of the company lobby. As she reached the street corner, she hailed a taxi and firmly shouted out Qiu Ruolan's address: "Zhongfu Garden! Hurry up!"
"Oh, that's where all the celebrities live!" The driver tried to chat with Autumn Wind, but when he saw her furious face, he immediately abandoned that idea and switched to a serious tone: "Please fasten your seatbelt!"
Autumn Wind said nothing, expressionless, unbuckled her seatbelt, and sat up straight.
The driver drove quickly, reaching the destination in less than five minutes. Autumn Wind tossed down a thousand yuan, and without waiting for the driver to say anything, she unbuckled her seatbelt and jumped out.
As Autumn Wind walked into the lobby, she happened to see Administrator and Grandma. She breathed a sigh of relief and straightened her posture as she walked past them.
"Hey, aren't you Sister Qiu's Part-time Worker? Sister Qiu is home today, right? Are you late? It's been a while since we last saw each other!" Grandma called out as she chased her to the elevator.
It seemed that Administrator had no doubts about Autumn Wind's identity; even Administrator believed it without question. This showed that Autumn Wind's identity as a nanny indeed provided a reasonable explanation for her casual access to Qiu Ruolan's home.
Autumn Wind pouted, showing no emotion. "I was fired by Sister Qiu, I'm here to settle my salary!"
"Oh, I'm sorry!" Grandma stepped aside and stopped bothering Autumn Wind.
At that moment, the elevator doors opened, and Autumn Wind entered the elevator with an expressionless face.
When she stood at Qiu Ruolan's door, she instinctively touched the key to Qiu Ruolan's house that she had in her bag. After pondering for a moment, she ultimately chose to knock on the door.
Before long, Qiu Ruolan opened the door.
It seemed that Qiu Ruolan was in the middle of a major cleaning; her face was covered by a large mask, and she wore a paper hat on her head. However, the living room was tidy and clean, looking nothing like a place undergoing cleaning.
Seeing Autumn Wind enter, Qiu Ruolan took off her mask and spoke with a slightly breathless tone, "You got here quickly!"
Autumn Wind said nothing and went straight to her room. As soon as she entered the room, she noticed that the closet door was wide open and empty inside; the once abundant clothes were nowhere to be seen.
Autumn Wind bent down to open the shoe cabinet, only to find it completely empty.
After a series of movements, beads of sweat appeared on Autumn Wind's forehead. She straightened up, ran her fingers through her hair to relax for a moment, and then as if she thought of something, she rushed out of the bedroom and walked to Qiu Ruolan's built-in wardrobe.
According to their agreement at the time, Autumn Wind had access to the innermost cabinet in this long wardrobe, but despair struck again— it was empty as well.
At that moment, Qiu Ruolan approached Autumn Wind from behind and stammered, “Autumn Wind, you listen to me!”
Autumn Wind ignored Qiu Ruolan and returned to the living room. Like a lost lamb, she wandered around the living room until she finally discovered two suitcases on the back balcony. When she opened them, she found the clothes that had disappeared.
“Your Ervin Uncle was supposed to send over the suitcase he wanted to keep you in, so it’s just temporarily over there!”
Qiu Ruolan shrugged slightly, deliberately putting on a relaxed facade, but her voice trembled uncontrollably. “Otherwise, if it’s sent over, it has to be taken back. It seems you still have to stay with Ervin for a while, but don’t misunderstand, I just—”
“Just what!” Autumn Wind interrupted Qiu Ruolan, suggesting I go back to live with Qiu Mowen? How ridiculous! At that moment, the scene where Chen Shanni had just humiliated her resurfaced. Qiu Mowen was gone, and now even Qiu Ruolan wanted to drive her away.
A wave of immense grievance surged up; her eyes began to ache, and tears suddenly burst forth. Autumn Wind couldn’t hold back and cried out loud.
The crying was so loud that it startled Qiu Ruolan, who was about to speak. She stood there helplessly beside her.
