The temporary office of Yin Enterprises' K City Branch was set up in a local building that wasn't particularly large.
So this building had only a dozen or so floors.
Still, even with just a dozen floors, it was high enough for someone to be gravely injured if they fell.
Sylvia Ran sat fearlessly on the rooftop and dialed Charles Yin's number.
When Charles Yin saw Sylvia Ran calling, he didn't dare ignore it.
Just now, his mother, who was far away in South America, had called and strictly warned him not to provoke Sylvia Ran under any circumstances.
Sylvia Ran's words to Cecilia Gu were half true, half false—but this part was real.
Sylvia Ran's parents and Charles Yin's parents really did have a close relationship in private.
Otherwise, Sylvia Ran and Charles Yin wouldn't have grown up together.
Otherwise, when Charles Yin pursued Sylvia Ran back then, neither family would have objected.
All of this was because the two families had been close for generations, and Charles Yin's mother was very fond of Sylvia Ran.
Back then, when Sylvia Ran suddenly left without saying goodbye, her family only offered their apologies, but the two families remained on good terms.
Now that Sylvia Ran was back, Charles Yin's mother actually hoped she would become her daughter-in-law.
Charles Yin's mother didn't even attend his wedding with Cecilia Gu.
That was because she felt Cecilia Gu wasn't good enough for Charles Yin, not worthy to be the Yin family's daughter-in-law.
Plus, she knew Charles Yin only married Cecilia Gu because of the child, so she didn't bother to object.
But ever since Cecilia Gu married in, she hadn't shown herself or spoken to Cecilia at all—her attitude was clear.
Cecilia Gu used to only think about leaving the Yin family, so she never considered how complicated their family dynamics were.
It wasn't until yesterday, after confirming her feelings with Charles Yin, that Cecilia Gu even thought about this.
Today, when Charles Yin's mother suddenly called, Cecilia finally remembered she actually had a mother-in-law.
This mysterious mother-in-law seemed very dissatisfied with her.
Now that her mother-in-law called Charles Yin, it was probably to pressure him to accept Sylvia Ran, right?
Cecilia Gu suddenly felt a wave of bitterness.
Why was her path to love so full of obstacles?
Her first love ended without a result; not only was she sold out once, but her mother was kidnapped to force her hand.
Her marriage was a last resort. She thought it was just a contract, but unexpectedly, she broke the rules and fell in love.
She thought she had finally stumbled upon true love in this life. Before she could even rejoice for a day, her mother-in-law called again, trying to push her husband back to his first love...
Cecilia Gu sighed softly, sadness quietly spilling from her eyes.
Mo Zixin's gaze was fixed on Cecilia Gu; as for the person on the rooftop, whether she jumped or not, he didn't care.
He just wanted Cecilia Gu to be happy.
