Chapter 360 Returning to the Countryside to Get Married

Sister Wang didn't want to disappoint her, so she said tactfully, "It's quite stable. Miss Song, you don't need to worry."

Song Xi bitterly pulled at the corners of her mouth, reached out to stroke her brother's thin face, and said with heartache, "No one should be bothering you lately, right?"

"...No."

She hesitated.

Song Xi frowned, "Did Ye Hai come again?"

Sister Wang waved her hands, "No, Miss Song. Mr. Ye only inquired about Xiao Yang's condition from me, but he never entered the ward again. I swear, I didn't say anything."

In fact, even if she didn't swear, Song Xi believed it. After all, it was easy for the Ye family's influence to find out anything. Even if Sister Wang didn't say anything, Ye Hai would still find a way to find out.

She sighed, not bothering to argue as before.

After all, she had made her position clear, and more importantly, she didn't have the ability to stop Ye Hai.

"By the way, Miss Song, there's something I've been wanting to tell you."

Song Xi nodded, "Go ahead, Sister Wang."

Sister Wang hesitated and said, "I might not be able to come next month. My daughter hasn't found a job after graduation, and my husband wants me to take her back to the countryside."

Song Xi immediately understood her implication. She didn't rush to keep her, but instead asked calmly, "Is she going back to the countryside to get married?"

Sister Wang was silent for a second and then nodded.

"Sister Wang, have you asked your daughter's opinion?"

"That girl is unwilling, but there's nothing she can do. The expenses in big cities are too high, and my salary has to support a whole family. She's probably discouraged herself, so she agreed."

Song Xi asked, "What's her major?"

"Her grades weren't good. She went to vocational school and studied nursing."

Sister Wang sighed, "I thought nursing was a profession with good job prospects, but I didn't expect that without connections in big cities, you can't even get into a hospital. It's better to go back to the countryside and just dispense medicine at a pharmacy."

What she said was true, but if she left, it would be very difficult for Song Xi to find a suitable caregiver immediately.

Sister Wang was good at taking care of people. Every time she came, Yang Yang's clothes were clean, and under her meticulous care, Yang Yang's complexion had been getting better. If she left, it would indeed be a great loss.

Song Xi said, "Have you considered letting her do other work?"

"That's what she studied, what else can she do?"

Song Xi pondered for a moment, "If it's convenient, could you let her come over for me to meet?"

Sister Wang immediately agreed, "I'll call her right away!"

A little while later, Sister Wang's daughter arrived.

She was pretty and looked a bit shy. When she met Song Xi's gaze, her face would turn a little red.

"Hello, what's your name?" Song Xi's voice was gentle, her delicate features and unique temperament captivating.

"Wang... Wang Wen."

Sister Wang explained, "My husband and I have the same surname."

Song Xi looked at Sister Wang and said, "Sister Wang, can I talk to her alone for a moment?"

Sister Wang was stunned for a moment, "Of course!" Then she turned and whispered something to Wang Wen. The girl's expression seemed a bit displeased.

After Sister Wang closed the door and left, Song Xi smiled and said directly, "Did your mother tell you to make a good impression on me?"

"Um... no! No..."

Wang Wen lowered her head self-consciously.

Song Xi seemed to see a shadow of her childhood in her.

Her voice softened, "Do you know me?"

The little girl shook her head quickly, but after looking into Song Xi's eyes, she honestly nodded.

This was within Song Xi's expectations. From the flicker of surprise in Wang Wen's eyes when she saw her upon entering, she knew she recognized her.

"Do you dislike me?" Song Xi asked.

Wang Wen shook her head, but then nodded.

Song Xi chuckled, "Seems like a secret hater."

"No! I've never cursed you online."

Although she didn't like Song Xi, she had never insulted her.

She even agreed with the remarks Song Xi made at the press conference last time and had reposted them.

Wang Wen was a very laid-back person, both in her approach to fandom and job searching.

Therefore, when her parents asked her to return to the countryside to get married, she didn't strongly resist, but deep down, she didn't like it.

Song Xi was also observing her quietly. She spoke honestly, saying whatever came to mind. Didn't Jin Ying say she needed an assistant? She wondered if she was suitable.

"Jin Ying, do you know her?"

Wang Wen nodded, "Yes."

"She needs an assistant. If you don't mind, I can have her contact you later?"

"Really?" Although she was surprised, her expression remained placid.

This personality seemed to be a perfect match for Jin Ying.

Song Xi was already imagining Jin Ying scratching her ears and cheeks in frustration, which would surely be a funny sight.

"Tell me your phone number, I'll save it."

When Sister Wang came back in, she first looked at Song Xi's expression and then winked at her daughter.

Her meaning was quite obvious.

Although Sister Wang was kind, some things couldn't be too obvious, or human nature would be exposed.

Song Xi put on her mask and said, "Sister Wang, if you're sure you want to leave, send me a message a week in advance."

A hint of disappointment flashed in Sister Wang's eyes, "...Okay."

As the door closed, Song Xi heard Sister Wang ask in a low voice, "How did it go? What did Miss Song say? Did she say she'd help you find a job? Did you really try your best to ask her?"

"No..."
