Chapter 1238: Chapter 1238: Zhang Qian Calls

Tingting was left speechless and her mood soured instantly; she had no intention of dealing with the nagging mom anymore and walked away with her child.

On the other hand, Shen Mianmian received a phone call from Zhang Qian, who she thought was calling to congratulate her on her wedding. Unexpectedly, Zhang Qian started crying as soon as the call was connected.

"What’s wrong?" Shen Mianmian frowned; it was supposed to be a happy occasion for her wedding, and she really didn’t appreciate Zhang Qian’s sobbing.

He Nan could also hear something was up, and he furrowed his brows, looking at her. She slightly shook her head to indicate that he shouldn’t worry.

Zhang Qian said, "Mianmian, Xiaocui fired me."

Shen Mianmian was surprised, "Xiaocui fired you? When did this happen?"

"Yesterday." Zhang Qian sniffled, "I initially didn’t plan to tell you, thinking I would wait until after your wedding, but I’ve been depressed all day today, just can’t figure it out, and finally couldn’t help but talk about it."

"Why did she fire you?" Shen Mianmian found it odd.

Xiaocui hadn’t told her about firing Zhang Qian, so Shen Mianmian didn’t know the details.

"It’s a long story. Xiaocui has become sensitive and suspicious, always suspecting that I’m having an affair with Jun Ge. Mianmian, you know what kind of person I am. If others don’t understand, shouldn’t she know? After all, we’ve been together for so many years, I really didn’t expect her to misunderstand me like this," Zhang Qian said, becoming more aggrieved as she discussed how much effort she had put into the shop for Xiaocui over the years.

Shen Mianmian’s eyebrows furrowed as she listened, "You know I’m getting married soon, and I might not be able to look into these matters right now. Moreover, when Xiaocui got married, the shop was handed over to her to manage, and I don’t have much authority to ask about it now. She’s the boss."

Xiaocui isn’t someone who lacks judgment. Having worked with Zhang Qian for so many years and then suddenly firing her must be more than just a simple misunderstanding.

When it comes to choosing between Zhang Qian and Xiaocui, Shen Mianmian undoubtedly trusts Xiaocui more.

Xiaocui is on her way here today, and will arrive tonight, probably wanting to discuss this face-to-face, so Shen Mianmian is not in a hurry to ask Xiaocui about these matters.

They’re all adults now. If Xiaocui did this, she must have her reasons; Shen Mianmian has no intention of getting involved.

Zhang Qian was somewhat disappointed with Shen Mianmian’s reaction, "Mianmian, do you really think I had something with Jun Ge, which is why you said that? Xiaocui listens to you the most. I’m telling you this in the hope that you could help clarify things with Xiaocui. I don’t actually want to keep working there, but I just don’t want Xiaocui to misunderstand me."

Over the years, Zhang Qian had saved a fair bit of money, always planning to open her own shop. However, the salary Xiaocui paid was good, and the work was easy, so she hesitated, fearing business might not go well and she’d lose her current job.

Now that Xiaocui had fired her, she might as well start her own shop.

As for calling Shen Mianmian, Zhang Qian wasn’t really looking to mend their relationship, she simply didn’t want things to become awkward between them. After all, Shen Mianmian was now a major celebrity, and knowing someone like her would earn respect everywhere.

"I’m not very clear about the details either, let’s discuss it when Xiaocui arrives," said Shen Mianmian.

Hearing this, Zhang Qian awkwardly hung up the phone, but she thought to herself that Shen Mianmian indeed had a closer relationship with Xiaocui and didn’t take her seriously.

Years ago, she realized that Shen Mianmian treated Xiaocui as a friend while she was just an employee; they were never treated the same.
