Chapter 156: Chapter 156: A Verdant Canopy (First Update)

"Zhang Aifen," Dong Wei pointed his finger at her, "don’t make trouble, okay? If you want to make trouble, then don’t blame us for losing the last bit of affection between us."

How many years has it been, what’s the point of bringing this up now?

Hearing their conversation, Lin Jianguo’s face became even uglier. Luo Yuzhu and old Dong had a thing, truly hidden deep.

With that thought, he sneered, "Old Dong, did you really chase after Yuzhu back in the day?"

Dong Wei gave a sheepish smile, "Not at all, I just worked in the same factory as Yuzhu, you know that."

It was no secret.

"I know? How would I know?" Lin Jianguo felt his head buzzing with jealousy. That Luo Yuzhu and old Dong, how far had they gone, was there anything...

He couldn’t bear to continue that line of thought, contemplating a possibility, Lin Jianguo suddenly looked at Su Xiaofeng, perhaps Xiaofeng wasn’t actually picked up by Luo Yuzhu, but was the child she had with some other man.

Su Xiaofeng, witnessing their quarrel, didn’t have the time to enjoy their spectacle and just wanted to quickly deliver the materials she had and then finish her work and go back.

Lin Jianguo’s sudden stare made her uneasy, not understanding what he was up to.

"Old Dong, you’re so interested in Su Xiaofeng, could it be because she is actually your daughter?" Lin Jianguo originally hadn’t thought in that direction, but now the possibility struck him.

Upon hearing Lin Jianguo’s words, Zhang Aifen, like a frenzied tigress, pointed at Dong Wei’s nose and cursed loudly, "You, Dong Wei, how could you have wronged me like this, having a daughter with another woman that’s even grown up."

Zhang Aifen turned to look at Xiaofeng, with fury in her eyes, "Are you Luo Yuzhu’s daughter or not?"

Su Xiaofeng raised an eyebrow, sighing inwardly. She had wanted to stay out of it, but the fire has spread to her.

Shaking her head, "No."

"You think just because you deny it, we can’t find out the truth? Dong Wei, just you wait, I will find out whether this little vixen is the child you had with Luo Yuzhu." She knew it, how Dong Wei had changed after getting rich.

Some people are just born a certain way; it’s easier to change rivers and mountains than to alter one’s nature. Dong Wei used to flirt with other women, so after getting rich, he’s become even worse.

"Zhang Aifen, stop slandering me. There’s nothing between Yuzhu and me, we’re completely innocent. Xiaofeng was found by Yuzhu, she didn’t give birth to her. Jianguo knows this too." Dong Wei was at his wit’s end, between laughing and crying; there was really nothing between him and Yuzhu.

Su Xiaofeng dug at her ear, what’s going on with these people, discussing her parentage right in front of her as if she didn’t exist. Was that it? She said coldly, "Everyone, if you have matters to discuss, please take it outside. This is a workplace, and you’re affecting other people’s business. The door is that way, thank you."

Luo Yuzhu has already said she picked her up, and as for who her real mother is, she doesn’t care right now. She is only concerned with two things at the moment, the first is to ensure the baby is safely delivered, and the second is to save enough money quickly so that after the baby is born, they can have a stable life.

Beyond these two matters, everything else can be important, or not important.

Zhang Aifen laughed as she listened to her, "You seem not to care at all about whose daughter you are?" Most girls would prick up their ears upon hearing such news, but this Su Xiaofeng is quite odd, showing no curiosity about her own origins at all.

"If the one who gave birth to me and raised me cares about me, they would naturally acknowledge me. If they don’t care, then whether I care or not is meaningless. Auntie, Luo Yuzhu has made it public that I am just an adopted daughter she picked up, she is not my mom, so please be mindful of what you say in the future and don’t mix me up with her daughter." To the original host, Luo Yuzhu might be the biological mother, always longing for a sliver of care from her real mother.

But she is not the original host. After she became the original host, Luo Yuzhu did not fulfill any maternal duties towards her. Instead, she repeatedly made her lose the identity of a mother.

So, for her, the current Luo Yuzhu is just a stranger, meaningless to her. Of course, she would investigate the truth about the past. If Luo Yuzhu truly had been kind to her, she would not neglect Luo Yuzhu in her old age. But if Luo Yuzhu was the person who had taken her away back then, heh heh...

"Tch tch," Zhang Aifen looked at Su Xiaofeng with amusement, "There are actually people who don’t want to recognize their mother. It’s better if you don’t, over the years your mother, in order to secure her position in the Lin Family, has not taken care of you at all. She really is a mother you could have or not have."

Zhang Aifen and Luo Yuzhu have been friends for many years, and she knew some things about Luo Yuzhu. Of course, she only knew that Luo Yuzhu had a child before marrying Lin Jianguo, but she didn’t know how old or what the child looked like.

"Zhang Aifen, what nonsense are you spouting here? If there’s nothing else, you better go home and don’t make a fool of yourself here," Dong Wei was fuming upon hearing Zhang Aifen’s words.

What kind of persuasion was this? Did these words even make sense?

"Aiyo, did I hit a nerve? You’re unhappy when I talk about Luo Yuzhu, but no matter how unhappy you are, what can you do? Luo Yuzhu is now Old Lin’s wife, and she has nothing to do with you financially," Zhang Aifen loved nothing more than to infuriate Dong Wei, enjoying watching him burst into rage.

"Enough," Lin Jianguo interrupted coldly, not pleased to hear Zhang Aifen speak about Luo Yuzhu and Dong Wei in front of him, "If you two want to quarrel, go home and do it. I need to get back to work. I’m leaving."

He regretted accompanying Old Dong on this trip; it had just made his morning unpleasant, truly unlucky.

"Uncle Lin." Lin Jianguo was leaving, but Xiaofeng called out to him.

Lin Jianguo glanced at her lightly, and spoke indifferently, "Although your mother has cut ties with you, if you encounter any difficulties, you can still come to me. I will help you if it’s within my capacity."

In public, Lin Jianguo always appeared to be a good person. Even if he did not care for Su Xiaofeng inwardly, this was a public place, and there were certain images he had to maintain.

Su Xiaofeng smiled as she handed over the documents in her hand, "Actually, there is something I need Uncle Lin’s help with. Our factory is processing some documents, and I’ve heard Uncle Lin used to work here and must know the procedures well. Could you please help me submit these? Thank you."

Lin Jianguo stared at the documents in Su Xiaofeng’s hand and her somewhat mocking gaze, feeling annoyed at himself for why he had just made that polite offer to help Su Xiaofeng.

This Su Xiaofeng was truly thick-skinned, on one hand declaring she had no relationship with Luo Yuzhu, yet on the other hand, clinging to him to get her work done.
