Chapter 157: 157 A Lot of Information (Second Update)

Dong Wei looked at Lin Jianguo, and Zhang Aifen was also looking.

In this public place, Lin Jianguo had worked here before, so of course, he wouldn’t embarrass Su Xiaofeng or do anything like that in public. Seeing Su Xiaofeng hand over the documents, he casually took them.

As he passed by Su Xiaofeng, he whispered a threat, "Xiaofeng, even though you’ve fallen out with Yuzhu, after all, you’re still mother and daughter. Some things should be let go once they’ve passed, and you can still come over to the house when you have time."

This Su Xiaofeng, she’s known to be calculating. He had to make it clear to her that she, Su Xiaofeng, no longer had any ties with the Lin Family. It’s no use clinging on shamelessly.

Xiaofeng, hearing his words, suddenly raised her voice by several decibels, "What, Uncle Lin, you’re getting a divorce from Ms. Luo?

Lin Jianguo, hearing her words, stood there, stunned for a long moment.

Zhang Aifen covered her mouth, thinking it couldn’t be, that Lin Jianguo was going to divorce Luo Yuzhu. Luo Yuzhu, accustomed to a life of luxury, would definitely not agree to the divorce.

Before Lin Jianguo could speak, Xiaofeng showed a look of pity, "Uncle Lin, one shouldn’t act this way. Ms. Luo married you, willing to give up her husband and daughter to be with you, and even bore you a daughter. Just because she had an affair with your good friend when she was younger, you want to divorce her. Isn’t that too heartless?"

Upon hearing Xiaofeng’s words, Dong Wei became livid, "Lin Jianguo, are you still human? The thing with her and me happened so many years ago. What’s the point of bringing it up now?"

Su Xiaofeng’s voice wasn’t low to begin with, and Dong Wei was even louder. His booming voice made almost everyone in the hall turn their gaze toward them.

A few staff members came out from the back, likely Lin Jianguo’s former colleagues. Hearing Dong Wei’s words, they all stood frozen in place, looking at Lin Jianguo and pondering the heavy implications of that statement. What’s going on, Lin Jianguo’s current wife wasn’t only previously married, but she also had an affair.

Lin Jianguo, seeing everyone looking at him with strange eyes, felt both annoyed and anxious. When had he, Lin Jianguo, ever been made to look so foolish? All because of this wild girl, Su Xiaofeng.

She must have done it on purpose.

He waved his hand to the people around, "Don’t misunderstand, everyone. This is my stepdaughter, and there’s some misunderstanding between us."

He lowered his head and said to Su Xiaofeng, "Su Xiaofeng, you have no relation to me, and you better not push me... otherwise..."

Su Xiaofeng took a frightened step back, her face full of terror, "Uncle Lin, I really didn’t mean to say it out loud. I know you’ve always been magnanimous, you’ll surely take good care of me, your stepdaughter, right?"

Everyone looked at Su Xiaofeng’s expression and then at Lin Jianguo’s unappealing look, a great drama unfolding in their minds.

It had been rumored that Lin Jianguo disliked this stepdaughter, not only pressuring his wife to cut ties with this woman but also making others drive this stepdaughter away from here. Now it seems likely to be true. Look at the young girl’s face, fearful of Lin Jianguo as if he had done something to her. Would she be so scared if Lin Jianguo hadn’t done something?

Lin Jianguo always presented himself as amiable at work. It was unexpected to see how ruthless he could be at home, not just forcing the mother and daughter not to recognize each other but also pressuring the young girl to leave this place.

Thinking this, one of Lin Jianguo’s former colleagues stepped forward, "Old Lin, even though she’s your stepdaughter and there’s no blood relation, I think the young girl is not a bad person. You shouldn’t be too harsh, leave her a way out. After all, one should always leave room for others, so we all have a way to get along in the future, right?"

It was clear from the heart that Lin Jianguo was considered a harsh stepfather who had no love for his stepdaughter.

Listening to the other’s words, Lin Jianguo felt like choking on a mouthful of blood. What had he done? And what could he do?

"Right, Jianguo, let what’s in the past be in the past. Yuzhu has been married to you for over a decade; if not for her contributions, then at least acknowledge her hard work," Dong Wei chimed in.

He had been fond of Luo Yuzhu in his youth, but back then he was penniless. Since the Dong family had money, Yuzhu went straight into the arms of Lin Jianguo.

That’s why, after he came into money later on, he never turned away any woman.

He knew all too well that some women had no feelings involved—they were only after his money.

Lin Jianguo met everyone’s gaze, then looked at the burning-hot documents in his hand. Were they all forcing his hand? If he didn’t do this favor for Su Xiaofeng today, would he be the unforgivable stepfather?

When he looked up again, his eyes found Xiaofeng, filled with a familiar smile, "Xiaofeng, it seems everyone thinks I dislike you because you had a disagreement with your mom. You know how I have treated you. Here’s what we’ll do: I’ll submit this document for now, and whatever additional information they require from you guys, you’ll need to prepare it yourself."

He paused, "As for your mom, I will have a good talk with her. Whether one is born to her or picked up, after all, there’s a mother-daughter bond that needs to be respected."

After Lin Jianguo finished speaking, he handed the documents to a former colleague, exchanged pleasantries with a smile, and then left.

Zhang Aifen watched Su Xiaofeng then looked at the hasty departure of Lin Jianguo, her view of Xiaofeng changing.

No wonder Luo Yuzhu wanted to sever ties with this daughter. If she didn’t, how could Luo Yuzhu be her match? Just look at how this young lady has played Lin Jianguo like a fiddle.

Xiaofeng smiled and greeted the staff, "I’m not sure if the materials are all here, but if anything is missing, notify me and I’ll bring it over right away."

"I’ll take a look first. Come back in three days," the staff member said sympathetically and amicably to Xiaofeng.

Leaving the place, she ignored Dong Wei and Zhang Aifen, who were still bickering behind her. Keke looked admiringly at Xiaofeng, "Xiaofeng, was that man your stepfather?"

"My mom’s gone; how could I have a stepfather?"

Keke didn’t feel right once she heard this. Xiaofeng’s biological mother didn’t acknowledge her, which must have been hard for Xiaofeng, "Xiaofeng, it’s their loss for not cherishing you. They might look down on who you are now, but in the future, they surely won’t be able to reach you."

Hearing Keke’s words, Xiaofeng felt a wave of warmth in her heart.

This saying was very popular in the twenty-first century.

Xiaofeng laughed, "I don’t care for them either."

Sometimes, psychological empathy between people was mutual; if you’re good to me, I’ll be good to you. If you’re not good to me, I don’t owe you kindness.

Zhang Keke was smart and, after hearing Xiaofeng’s words, didn’t continue the topic but changed it instead.

"Xiaofeng," Zhang Aifen ignored Dong Wei and chased after Xiaofeng, "You might not recognize me yet, I’m Zhang Aifen, Dong’s ex-wife. I’ve been an old friend of your mom’s for over a decade. What your mom did this time really wasn’t right. Don’t worry, I’ll definitely have a heart-to-heart with her. How can a bond of many years of mother-daughter kinship be thrown away so easily?"

This was also what Zhang Aifen couldn’t understand; she didn’t comprehend how Luo Yuzhu, after not severing ties for so many years, suddenly wanted to cut off the relationship.
