Chapter 159: 159 Makes People Want to Commit Crimes (second update)

Luo Yuzhu stared at Lin Jianguo in disbelief, her mind buzzing. Jianguo wanted to divorce her?

No, this absolutely couldn’t happen.

Lin Jianguo glanced at Luo Yuzhu and then went to wash up.

Lin Yue originally planned to come over and get some pocket money from Luo Yuzhu. Seeing her dad come back, she intended to leave, but, as if possessed, she didn’t go and instead stuck to the doorframe, eavesdropping on the sounds inside.

When she heard her dad, because of that bumpkin, was going to marry her mother, her eyes widened with hatred. It was all that vixen’s fault—if not for her, dad would certainly not be thinking about divorcing mom.

No, she absolutely wouldn’t let this happen.

She had to find someone to discuss this with, to see how to teach Su Xiaofeng a lesson so she would disappear from here, yes. The best way was the same as what dad had said, make her leave this place, preferably never to return.

Yes, that’s what needed to be done.

But who should she discuss this matter with?

That’s it, Brother Haozi. Brother Haozi also didn’t like Su Xiaofeng.

Lin Yue quietly sneaked back to her room, thinking about how to get Dong Hao out to discuss strategies.

...

Five evenings later, thanks to everyone’s united efforts, the first batch of three thousand bottles of Pear Blossom Brand chili sauce was officially loaded onto the truck.

Watching the hundreds of boxes of chili sauce on the truck, Xiaofeng’s lips curled slightly. Her chili sauce was about to fly to the Provincial City, and once it entered that land, it would surely present a different prospect.

"Manager Su," Liao Xianghe, eager to contribute, said, "Why don’t I go with you? I’ve been to the Provincial City and I’m quite familiar with it."

Xiaofeng glanced at Ye Cheng, who was not far away in a set of blue work clothes, with a curved smile. No matter what clothes Ye Cheng wore, it didn’t diminish his dignified aura.

"You take care of the home front." This trip would definitely take a few days. "Our factory is just starting, and the business isn’t stable yet. You’re in charge of assisting Factory Manager Zhou with the production at home."

Liao Xianghe had been particularly diligent at work these past few days, and was startled by Xiaofeng’s words: "Manager Su, don’t... Don’t you worry that I might lead these people to run off?"

The fact that Manager Su was going to run the business personally, even though the factory had just been established, really demonstrated trust.

"Factory Manager Zhou is a responsible person; I trust him. Besides, I haven’t paid everyone’s salaries yet. Even if you wanted to lead them all away, you’d need people willing to follow." The people left behind had been working particularly hard recently.

"What Manager Su said is true. Everyone’s been working hard for their salaries." Factory Manager Zhou wasn’t quite confident himself. Before, whenever Manager Su was around, people had been searching for trouble. With Manager Su gone, who knew if they would come knocking again."

"You all focus on production at home, and I’ll go secure a few big orders." The factory was just getting on the right track. Whether a single trip to the Provincial City could result in a major setback was uncertain.

Ye Fei crawled out from under the truck: "My truck is functioning perfectly. Just drive slowly on the road." After putting away his tools: "Su Xiaofeng, you go with peace of mind. I’ve been doing business here for a few years and know some people. I’ll keep an eye on the factory. If someone comes looking for trouble, I won’t let them off easily."

After saying this, he subconsciously glanced at Ye Cheng, indicating that he shared the same intention. It was strange, though. Before, the old man would go down to the city once every ten or fifteen days, but lately, it seemed like he was there every three days, leaving the sixth master alone in the countryside, which looked rather pitiful.

Listening to Ye Fei’s words, Xiaofeng’s lips curled into a faint smile, "Then I’ll be troubling you."

He Ximei quietly pulled Xiaofeng to one side, "You’re going on a long trip, and safety comes first. Plus, now that you’re pregnant, you need to be even more careful."

As for Dr. Ye, she wasn’t worried at all.

Dr. Ye, no matter how one looked at him, was a gentleman and knew that Xiaofeng was pregnant. He surely wouldn’t have any inappropriate thoughts about Xiaofeng.

Xiaofeng chuckled, "Isn’t there a ready-made doctor and driver beside me?"

"After all, Dr. Ye is a man," He Ximei said, leaving some things unsaid, "I know you had grievances against me in the past, and I had my own selfish motives too, but I’ve never wished you harm. Of course, the time I tried to match you with the Li Family fool was indeed my mistake; I shouldn’t have set my sights on you just because Pengzi couldn’t find a wife."

She had always wanted to say these words, but she was ashamed to speak up first because she knew she was at fault.

That incident had indeed been indefensible on her part. Fortunately, Old Su always disagreed; otherwise, things would have been...

"I have never forgotten that." Regarding He Ximei’s attempt to marry her off to the Li Family fool, Xiaofeng certainly hadn’t forgotten, "That’s why I have been watching to see how sincere you are towards me. If we can live together, we will; if we can’t, I don’t have to live with you."

He Ximei had been married to her father for over a decade. Aside from everything else, she indeed took good care of her father. Plus, even though she had the notion of tying ties with the Li Family, she refrained from further action without Old Su’s consent. For this reason alone, He Ximei did respect her father’s wishes.

He Ximei: "—."

Does she need to be so blunt?

She gave a slight smile, "Alright, your father treats me well, and he treats Pengzi well, so of course, I should treat you well too. Let bygones be bygones for the past mistakes; if I make another foolish mistake in the future, I won’t be able to face myself either."

She wasn’t ungrateful; she had seen how Xiaofeng had treated the family during this period. And the matter of Pengzi finding a wife wasn’t so important anymore—as long as there was money in the family, there would still be girls willing to marry in.

It was all due to poverty before, worrying that Pengzi wouldn’t be able to find a wife, which led to improper thoughts.

Xiaofeng nodded, "Auntie, I’ve arranged for big brother to accompany dad to the countryside, while you’re in charge of the final process at home."

He Ximei of course understood the importance of the formula, "Okay, I have it all in mind, don’t worry."

Watching the truck start up, Old Su’s eyes brimmed with redness. Whether Xiaofeng was his own or not, raising her had always been with the hope that she could have a good life.

Ye Cheng sat in the driver’s seat and glanced at Su Xiaofeng in the passenger seat. Today, Xiaofeng had her hair casually tied up, and her clothes were even more comfortable and loose, exuding an affinity like the girl-next-door.

"The journey might take us about ten hours." The place wasn’t close to Provincial City, but luckily they could take the newly constructed national highway. The road was good, otherwise they might not even make it in ten hours.

Xiaofeng pulled out a blanket and showed it to Ye Cheng with a lift, "I came prepared."

Ye Cheng smiled, "Well, you’re very thorough."

"Actually, sleeping in the car is the most comfortable, being rocked gently, just like being in a cradle." Xiaofeng spread the blanket on her legs, glanced at his hands gripping the steering wheel—slender fingers, clear knuckles, the kind of hands that could tempt one into crime—and finally concluded, "Ye Cheng, I’m really curious about what you actually do. Look at your hands, they’re perfect for holding a scalpel, and now, as you hold the steering wheel, it doesn’t seem out of place.

Two words: Beautiful."
