Li Lili indeed did not hear Wu Jiayi's words. She was already in a bad mood today, and now two insignificant people dared to approach the CEO. She only saw the CEO occasionally when she went to work in the morning.
"Little girl, this is your CEO's daughter, and I am the auntie from his household. If you don't believe me, you can call Assistant Han. Aren't you being too rude speaking like that?"
As an intern, where would she get the contact information for the CEO's assistant? Li Lili ignored her.
Mom Wu was very displeased. She thought that after announcing their arrival, they would be allowed up, but she was stopped. She immediately took out her phone to call Han Rui.
"Auntie, do you expect me to believe you just because you called someone to pretend to be Assistant Han? Our CEO is single, where would he have a daughter? Did you not do your research before trying to swindle us?"
The fact that Ye Jinghuai had a child was not a secret, but it was only circulated among high society. Although there were rumors in the company, they were limited to Ye Jinghuai's secretarial team and senior management. Someone like her, a mere receptionist, wouldn't know.
Moreover, none of these people were the type to gossip about the boss behind his back. Everyone knew the unspoken rules; who would dare to spread it around?
"You are a bad person! Don't let me find Papa!" Jiang Nuan said angrily, but her childish voice was too soft and adorable. Others just thought she had raised her voice.
"Hurry up and take this child away. The old scammer brought a little scammer with her."
Li Lili spoke without any reservations. Seeing Wu Ma's plain attire, she assumed she was some poor relative. However, the child was dressed quite well. But as an ordinary person, she hadn't seen much of anything good and couldn't recognize it.
Little did she know, the small crown on Jiang Nuan's head was several times more expensive than the Chanel bag she cherished under the desk.
"Nuannuan, I'm not a little scammer!" Jiang Nuan, in Wu Ma's embrace, flailed her arms and wanted to pounce forward and scratch her.
"Miss Nuannuan, please don't be anxious."
Wu Ma quickly calmed Jiang Nuan and tried to call Han Rui, but the call wouldn't go through. She wondered how it could be so coincidental that everything happened today. Han Rui, as Ye Jinghuai's assistant, was supposed to keep his phone accessible 24 hours a day.
"What? The phone isn't working? Didn't find a good actor?" Li Lili sneered as she looked at her fingernails.
Wu Ma didn't know what to do. She had never been to Ye's Corporation before, and besides Han Rui, no one knew her.
"Auntie~ You're not pretty, don't take pictures."
Jiang Nuan strongly disliked Li Lili's attitude towards Grandma Wu. Seeing her take out a mirror again to check her appearance, she couldn't help but sarcastically comment.
"What are you saying, you little brat? You can barely speak clearly, what do you know about beauty? Security! Someone is causing trouble, quickly drive them out!"
Li Lili's greatest pride was her appearance, and now she was being mocked by an unknown little child who came to Ye Corporation to claim relatives. It was utterly absurd, and she was furious.
"Who? Who is causing trouble?"
The security captain quickly arrived and was stunned to see Wu Ma and Jiang Nuan standing there.
"It's these two. They came to Ye Corporation to swindle, claiming to be the CEO's daughter. Our CEO isn't even married, where could he have a daughter?" Li Lili stated righteously.
Captain Wang Dazhi was not an unreasonable person. Seeing a woman of a certain age with a child, she didn't seem like someone who would cause trouble. However, the CEO's daughter was indeed preposterous; could it be an illegitimate daughter the CEO secretly had?
"Auntie, you have the child with you, perhaps you should leave for now?"
"Why are you being so polite? You're security!" Li Lili was very dissatisfied with Wang Dazhi.
"Why do you care how I do my job?"
Wang Dazhi really disliked Li Lili. She looked down on security guards like them every day. Wasn't she just a receptionist herself, unable to even enter the company internally? How was she any different from them? Wasn't she also guarding the gate every day?
"Uncle, you are a good person. Papa said good people are rewarded." Jiang Nuan didn't expect this security captain to be so understanding.
"What a good little girl, and so pretty. I've never seen such a beautiful child."
If only he had such a daughter, but unfortunately, he had a rascal son. Wang Dazhi thought this and then praised her aloud.
"Thank you, Uncle. Nuannuan will treat you to candy~"
Saying this, Jiang Nuan took out a fruit candy from the small bag she was carrying. Wu Ma had chosen this bag for her when they went out, and it matched her dress perfectly. It was filled with many small snacks.
"Thank you, Nuannuan."
Wang Dazhi happily accepted the candy offered by the cute little girl. Wang Dazhi now had a very good impression of Jiang Nuan, and perhaps there was indeed some hidden story here. With this thought, he turned to look at Wu Ma again.
"Auntie, besides employees, others cannot enter without an appointment. If you really have business, perhaps you could sit over there and wait for a while, and see if someone can escort you in."
"Li Lili, you are just a receptionist. If people aren't going in now, it's not your concern. Where they sit is none of your business. Did you open the company?" Wang Dazhi said with a face full of mockery.
