Stealing Your Heart

Zong Jinghao originally came to help out Qin Ya, but now that Guan Jing was gone, the burden of the company affairs fell onto his shoulders.

With the piling workload, he really had no spare time to look for a helper.

Moreover, he had never done anything like this before.

“Guan Jing, do me a favor,” Zong Jinghao called out to the man who was just about to open the door.

“What is it?”

“Can you help me get Qin Ya a maid? A reliable one, that is.”

Guan Jing noted down the request and took his leave.

Meanwhile, Qin Ya was waiting at the hospital after completing some final discharge procedures for Grandma Su. The former was unable to visit Lin Xinyan at the hospital as there was no one to look after the elderly woman, who suffered from mobility issues. Bringing Grandma Su along for the hospital visit was not ideal either, as that might disturb Lin Xinyan’s rest.

After some time, Guan Jing’s car pulled into the hospital car park. He was here to bring Qin Ya to an agency to hire a suitable maid for Grandma Su.

Approaching the pair, Guan Jing said, “Follow me; I’ll bring you to the place.”

“Sorry for the trouble,” Qin Ya replied sincerely.

After helping Grandma Su into her seat and settling down on his own, Guan Jing continued, “I know a decent agency that offers high-quality helpers. They went through training, and their services are of a high standard. I’m sure we can find a suitable maid for Grandma Su.”

Qin Ya, being unfamiliar with the region, could only thank Guan Jing for his assistance in such a matter.

Guan Jing chuckled. “Don’t fret it; I’m just fulfilling my duties. As long as Mr. Zong wants something, I’ll make sure to see to it to the best of my abilities.”

Their conversation ceased subsequently, and the car ride continued in silence. The only sounds that pierced the air were the incessant car horns and groans from frustrated drivers. Due to the jammed roads, they only reached their destination after close to an hour.

Guan Jing was evidently an esteemed customer at the company as the trio was immediately ushered into the boss’s office once they entered the building.

“What requests do you have this time?” asked the boss enthusiastically as he offered them a glass of water.
