I became a civil servant in the underworld and became an internet sensation in both the mortal and s

Chapter 3: So angry my soul was about to burst into smoke.

“You do not meet the requirements for taking leave because Zhao Ying has never remembered you since childhood, Zhao Yuan has found a new love and forgotten his old one, and the person you are thinking of has long forgotten you.”

Two cold, indifferent sentences were enough to make Su Qian slump to the ground. She seemed to be laughing, yet she also seemed to be crying, appearing almost insane.

"Zhao Yuan, you said you and your daughter couldn't live without me, you said it."

"You said you loved me."

"You even said that our daughter is the fruit of our love and that she should be named Xiaoying. Her name is Xiaoying, not Zhao Lanlan, not Zhao Lanlan!"

"But how could you forget all of this? How could you forget all of this..."

Su Qian sobbed, and her cries echoed throughout the leave office.

Outside the small building, someone happened to be passing by the general store when he suddenly heard the sounds of "ghosts, foxes, and wolves howling" coming from inside. He couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine. Old Xu had only been gone for a month. Could he still be wandering around the general store?
It's broad daylight, which is a bit creepy.

The man muttered to himself and quickly left.

Inside the building, Xu Qingling was getting annoyed by Su Qian's crying and snapped, "Su Qian, be quiet!"

Su Qian was startled, then looked up as if she had grasped a lifeline, "Director, what I just saw was all fake, right? You must be lying to me, tell me, tell me!"

Su Qian's eyes flashed with a chilling red light, and the surrounding yin energy churned because of her intense emotional fluctuations. She growled at Xu Qingling.

"I know, you need money, don't you? Just like how you need red envelopes to get things done in the human world, I know that. I have ghost money, and I can give it all to you as a tribute."

As she spoke, she reached into her pocket.

For the past seventeen years in the underworld, Su Qian has always dreamed of returning to the human world one day to see her husband and daughter.

For so many years, she firmly believed that Zhao Yuan would wait for her, and she also believed that there was an unwavering love between her and Zhao Yuan.

But everything she saw in the video shattered Su Qian's beautiful dream and the belief she had held onto for seventeen years.

Su Qian's beliefs suddenly collapsed, and she found it hard to accept.

Xu Qingling sighed softly, "Su Qian, I don't need your money or anyone else's. Now that I've taken up the position of Director of the Leave Department, I will naturally do my job. What you just saw was what actually happened or is happening now. It's all real, and even I can't change it."

After hearing this, Su Qian's eyes gradually dimmed, and she slumped to the ground in despair.

So, does she have to accept this fact?

She just wanted to go back to the human world to see her daughter one last time, just one last time...

Su Qian was at a loss. She didn't know how to spend the long days in the underworld, or whether she should be unwilling and regretful when she was reincarnated.
Just as Su Qian was disheartened and preparing to return to the underworld, the three words "Not Approved" on Xu Qingling's computer screen gradually froze and then turned into a loading bar for resubmission. Xu Qingling frowned, her eyes filled with doubt, but she still spoke up, "Wait a moment."

Su Qian immediately stood up straight, and then the image reappeared on the screen.

In the video, Zhao Yuan's family of four is having a meal.

Zhao Yuan frowned as he watched Zhao Lanlan eat her food in small bites, only picking at the vegetable dish in front of her. "Lanlan, why are you still so picky about food at your age? Picky eating is bad for your health. Eat more meat."

After saying that, Zhao Yuan put a lot of spicy chicken into Zhao Lanlan's bowl.

"Dad, why do you only give my sister some food and not me?" Zhao Tang said, pouting slightly, somewhat displeased.

“Okay, Daddy will serve you. How could Daddy forget our well-behaved and sensible Xiaotang?” After saying that, Zhao Yuan served his youngest daughter a plate of each dish, and then served his wife a plate as well.

"Thank you, Dad. You're so good to me." "Just don't be a picky eater like your sister."

Lin Yin ate the food her husband put on her plate, her face full of happiness. Then, as if remembering something, she felt guilty and remorseful: "Maybe it's because my cooking skills are not good, so Lanlan doesn't like to eat it."

Zhao Yuan looked at his wife with a gentle expression, but his tone was slightly reproachful, "How could that be? She's clearly just a picky eater. Your cooking is delicious. Look, Xiao Tang and I love it."

After saying that, he stuffed a piece of meat into his mouth.

Zhao Tang chimed in, "Yes, yes, I love my mom's cooking the most."

Lin Yin looked at the two of them, her eyes filled with emotion.

Zhao Lanlan ate her meal silently, without saying a word. She seemed like an outsider, while they were the real family of three.

Looking at the table full of spicy dishes, and then at the spicy chicken in her own bowl, her eyes dimmed.

She is allergic to chili peppers, and her body tends to itch after eating them.

Unfortunately, Dad has long forgotten...

Zhao Lanlan didn't eat the spicy chicken until the end of the meal.

When she was about to return to her room, Zhao Tang seemed to whisper something in Lin Yin's ear, and then Lin Yin gave Zhao Yuan a look.

Zhao Yuan immediately understood and asked Zhao Lanlan, "Lanlan, have you finished this painting?"

Zhao Lanlan turned around and shook her head, "Not yet."

"Then you need to hurry up and finish drawing. The final of the drawing competition your sister is participating in is in two days. This is very important for your sister. If she wins first prize, she can get extra points on her college entrance exam. Time is running out, so hurry up."

Zhao Lanlan watched Zhao Tang snuggling up to her father, acting all affectionate, and found it rather irritating. She simply replied "okay" and quickly returned to her room.

Back in her room, Zhao Lanlan sat down in front of the easel.

She prepared the paint box, but she had no idea where to start.

Half an hour later, the easel was still a blank sheet of paper, without a single mark on it.

Next to the white paper was another piece of paper with two large characters written on it: "Mom".

This is the theme of the Zhao Tang School Painting Finals.

“Mom…” Zhao Lanlan murmured to herself, her eyes reddening slightly as if she had thought of something. She then put down the paintbrush she had been holding for who knows how long.

She went to her desk, picked up the key, slowly opened a drawer, and took out a square cookie box.

At this moment, in Fengdu Leave Department, Xu Qingling, Sasha, and Su Qian watched this scene simultaneously through the screen.

Su Qian was so angry she felt like her soul was about to burst out of her skin. "What does Zhao Yuan mean? Xiao Ying clearly doesn't like spicy food. Putting aside what that woman's intentions were in preparing a table full of spicy dishes, just from Zhao Yuan saying that Xiao Ying is a picky eater, I can tell that he's not only blind, but also blinded by greed!"

Su Qian has always had a fiery temper, and just now she almost wanted to walk right through the curtain and dump those plates of food full of chili peppers on the heads of that family of three.

God knows how much it pained her to watch Sakura quietly eating her white rice and vegetables while the family of three next to her were enjoying themselves!
"They even made my daughter draw their daughter's portrait, and then she won first prize to get extra points on her college entrance exam. That's blatant cheating!"
