Tough and stubborn * gentle and affectionate
The world of the young girl Zhu Zhu is very small, with only a small space in the courtyard, her grandmother, and her childhood sweetheart brother Shi Boding.
When he was fifteen years old, someone from the Hong Kong Shi family came to take the young master home. Shi Boding left a check for Zhu Zhu and told her to take good care of herself and not to remember him anymore.
Zhu Zhu held Shi Boding's clothes and cried, begging him not to leave.
But he was indifferent and sat in the back seat of the luxury car without looking back, closing his eyes and no longer looking at her outside the window.
The next year after he left, Zhu Zhu buried her grandmother, traveled across the ocean with the check in hand, and found the Shi family. The Shijia Manor in Taiping Mountain was majestic. Zhu Zhu looked up at the high wall and returned home with knowledge.
Another spring, Shi Boding ended the family struggle and returned to the fishing village to look for people. He only found an uncashed check and the news that Zhu Zhu died in a fishing boat crash.

Zhu Zhu, a newcomer in law, returned from overseas assignment and was transferred to the group's Hong Kong headquarters.
On the first day she took office, a colleague gossiped to her, "The guy on the top floor is looking for a girl recently, like crazy - I heard she is from your family, do you know?"
Zhu Zhu typed on the keyboard slowly and shook her head, "I've never heard of it."
"There are no old feelings across the river, but there are bells in Gusu."
