Chapter 260: Chapter 259 No One Gets Away With It

Lin Yu, having been detained for five days, didn’t want people whispering about her behind her back after her release, so she quit the furniture factory.

Afterward, she found her current job at the mechanical factory.

Miao Xue was her colleague, and ever since Lin Yu joined the company, the two got along quite well.

Originally, she was supposed to accompany Miao Xue today to take a peek at Wu Zhengyang’s romantic interest.

Unexpectedly, the two first went to the convenience store across the street under the pretext of buying something to check out the situation.

She just happened to see Lin Qiu standing at the doorstep!

She was incredibly shocked at that moment.

In her memory, the timid Lin Qiu, who amounted to nothing, had surprisingly become very beautiful, with fashionable clothes and hairstyle.

The person who used to be inferior to her in every way had suddenly surpassed her, which was unbearable!

Later, when Miao Xue tried to leave the convenience store, Lin Yu forcefully held her back. Before she had decided what to do, she preferred not to let Lin Qiu know she had been there.

Fortunately, Lin Qiu glanced down at her watch for the time, then swiftly closed the window and the door.

Only then did the two of them proceed to the shop next door, owned by Wu Zhengyang’s sister.

Lin Yu shrewdly surmised from their indirect conversation that the warehouse converted into a shop belonged to their own property.

So, the house Lin Xia and the others lived in was bought, not rented.

How long had they been living on their own?

How much money did they have to earn to afford a house and start two businesses—a greenhouse and a clothes store at their doorstep?

Miao Xue thought Lin Yu’s reasoning was sound; she indeed had been somewhat impulsive.

If Lin Yu hadn’t stopped her, she would have made a scene, and Wu Zhengyang would definitely have ignored her even more.

"Lin Yu! So what do you suggest we do?"

Lin Yu pondered for a moment. Having suffered at the hands of Lin Xia and the others before, she naturally wouldn’t take action herself.

Now that she had Miao Xue, why not take advantage of the situation?

A hint of calculation crossed Lin Yu’s eyes, "Miao Xue, their two houses are too close! You can’t confront her yourself; Wu Zhengyang will certainly get angry.

Ah, I remember you mentioned you have a relative at the Bureau of Industry and Commerce, right? There might be some issues with the paperwork for this privately-converted shop."

Upon hearing this, Miao Xue instantly smiled smugly, "Right! I’ll go talk to my uncle..."

After parting ways with her, Lin Yu didn’t return to the company dormitory.

She took advantage of her day off and the time she had to take the bus home.

That home, she hadn’t been back for a very long time.

Ever since Lin Aiguo slapped her, she thought she wouldn’t return there lightly.

But now things were different. She knew where Lin Xia and the others lived and had learned about Lin Qiu’s shop.

She had to tell Lin Aiguo, so he could make trouble for them.

They were so wealthy; how could eighty a month be enough?

Lin Yu sneered all the way there; none of Lin Xia and the others should think of having it easy!

If it hadn’t been for their constant disturbances, how could she have failed the preliminary exam?

If she had been admitted to university, her life would have been entirely different. She definitely wouldn’t be like now, ostensibly working in an office but actually performing the duties of a custodian.

Moreover, since she started working, whenever she faced the textbooks to review, she couldn’t continue with the content inside.

Lin Yu first went to Qian Chunli’s food factory.

Qian Chunli rushed out of her work unit, anxious and flustered. It had been days since her daughter had been home, and she knew about the grievance from the last incident.

"Mom!" Lin Yu exclaimed upon seeing Qian Chunli, embracing her arm as if a swiftlet returning to its nest.

Qian Chunli was also very excited, "Xiaoyu, you’ve finally come back! Is today a holiday or did you take leave?"

"I have a holiday! Mom, I’ve missed you so much!"

Touched by her words, Qian Chunli’s heart warmed, "Mom has missed you too. Have you been well outside? Why did it take so long for you to come back? I’ve been worried sick! Stay at home tonight, Mom will cook you something delicious!"

"I’ve been good! Mom, I have something to tell you!"

"What is it?" Qian Chunli’s heart skipped a beat, thinking that Lin Yu might have started dating someone.

"Mom! I found out where Lin Xia and the others live! You wouldn’t believe it; they’ve not only bought a house, but Lin Qiu has also opened a clothing store..." Lin Yu briefly recounted what she had seen.

Listening in shock, Qian Chunli couldn’t believe her ears, "When did they start doing so well? Weren’t they selling clothes in the greenhouse? How could they have earned enough to buy their own house?"

"I don’t know about that! I was just as surprised when I saw it! I went with a coworker, and we just happened to see Lin Qiu in the store.

Now that we know, we should let his biological dad know too!"

Qian Chunli, who previously thought those kids amounted to nothing, was now finding them living better than her and her daughters. Suppressing the unpleasant taste in her mouth, she agreed, "Sure! We definitely can’t keep this from him!" She then muttered, "How can doing business bring in so much money?"

Her son Qiangzi had mentioned several times that he wanted to do business, but she always stopped him because she was worried about the hardships and the risk of losing money.

"Who knows! Maybe they didn’t do anything good! Otherwise, how could their business earn so much when others don’t?" Lin Yu said with a hint of spite, the implication clear in her words.

Qian Chunli scoffed with disdain, "Exactly! Haven’t you seen how garishly they dress now? Who knows what they did to get there?"

"Definitely! Mom, did you see how that man was so protective of Lin Xia, that bitch? Would he treat her like that if he hadn’t gotten a taste of the sweet life?"

The mother and daughter exchanged knowing, meaningful smiles.

Qian Chunli took leave from work; her daughter had finally come home, and she was going to the market to buy ingredients to make something delicious.

Of course, the most important thing was to inform Lin Aiguo about Lin Xia and the others.

When Lin Aiguo got off work and saw Lin Yu had returned, he glanced at the food on the table but said nothing.

Lin Yu politely called out, "Dad."

Lin Aiguo responded coldly.

Suppressing her disdain, Lin Yu told him about Lin Xia and the others buying a house near the greenhouse and opening a clothing store.

Lin Aiguo’s brows shot up, "Who told you this?"

"I went to perm my hair with a coworker and saw it by chance!" Lin Yu was dumbfounded. Lin Aiguo’s reaction should not be like this after hearing the news, should it?

Seeing his reaction, Qian Chunli sensed something was off. Could it be that Lin Aiguo already knew?

This truly was a case of secret knowledge; he must have known all along but never said a word.

Lin Aiguo warned with a cold voice, "I’m telling you, no one is to go there looking for discomfort. Otherwise, if I find out, you’ll all fucking get out!"

Qian Chunli was astounded at Lin Aiguo’s response, as if she was looking at a monster.

Since when had Lin Aiguo become so protective of those kids?

Or had Lin Aiguo and Lin Xia reconciled behind her and her daughters’ backs without their knowledge?

This would not do!

If they were harmonious now, what place would there be for her and her daughters in the future?

Qian Chunli pretended to be very nervous and scared, nodding incessantly, "Aiguo! How could we? We just found out and didn’t want you to be kept in the dark, so we had to tell you!

Look, Aiguo went there once, and afterward, you told us not to go near them, and none of us have approached them since..."

"If you understand that, it’s good," Lin Aiguo said, distrustfully looking at them, "Otherwise, don’t blame me for not being nice to you!"
