Chapter 195: 194 Is the baby I’m carrying a boy or a girl? (Second update)

Lin Yue sat in the police station, her face streaked with tears and snot, looking utterly pitiful as she wept like a rain-soaked pear blossom.

"I really didn’t mean to do it, I was just thoughtless. I thought about it and then I did it without considering the consequences. I’m sorry, I’m so sorry."

"Yes, she’s still a minor, just a child. Don’t worry, after this incident, we’ll definitely discipline her strictly at home." Luo Yuzhu was deeply afraid Lin Yue would be imprisoned, so she lowered her attitude greatly and spoke very softly as soon as she arrived.

Although Lin Yue was still a minor, she had already passed sixteen, and for some of her actions, she would have to pay a price. Being detained for a few days and fined was inevitable.

To other families, these punishments might simply be lessons, but to Lin Jianguo, they were practically a death sentence.

In just a few days, everyone at his workplace knew his daughter had almost harmed someone and was considered a troublemaker. They believed it was because he was dissatisfied with his stepdaughter, which emboldened his daughter to lash out at others.

They even said he failed in raising his daughter properly, and the head of his department had called him over for a talk and asked him to take a few days off at home to sort out Lin Yue’s matter before returning.

It sounded nice to say it was a rest, but the harsh truth was they wanted to lay him off.

Getting laid off was out of the question.

He had struggled hard to reach his current position, and there was no way he would give it up easily.

After bringing Lin Yue back from the police station, Lin Jianguo looked at his daughter as she entered the house and slapped her across the face with a smack.

Luo Yuzhu held Lin Yue tightly and hysterically looked at Lin Jianguo, "Jianguo, what are you doing? Yueyue is still young and it’s normal for her to not think things through."

"Young? Being young is no excuse. Do you have any idea, because of her, I almost lost my job?" Lin Jianguo realized for the first time how capable Lin Yue was of causing trouble, and she had almost caused a massive disaster.

Lin Jianguo had never hit himself before, but these days, he had repeatedly laid hands on himself because of this incident. Lin Yue cried and looked at Lin Jianguo, "Dad, all you care about is your job, you don’t care about how much injustice I suffered due to this matter. If there’s anyone to blame, it’s mom— if she hadn’t brought Su Xiaofeng back home, I wouldn’t have found her annoying, and if I hadn’t found her annoying, I wouldn’t have thought about teaching her a lesson. Ultimately, this is mom’s fault, not mine."

Luo Yuzhu looked at Lin Yue in shock, disbelieving the words coming from her mouth, and slowly let go of her, feeling powerless, "Yueyue, you’re young and don’t know the situation back then. But I already told you, she has nothing to do with our family."

"Just because you say she has nothing to do with us doesn’t make it true. If it weren’t for you, how could her factory have been established, and how could she afford such a nice house? Mom, you might fool others, but you can’t fool me; these matters are definitely related to you, you helped her, right?"

One could tell just by thinking with their toes. Su Xiaofeng, a girl who grew up in the countryside, had no connections in the county, yet somehow she managed to move into a great apartment and even started a factory as soon as she arrived in the county.

Lin Jianguo’s gaze turned toward Luo Yuzhu, seeking an answer on her face.

Lin Jing and Grandma Lin sat to one side. Seeing that Luo Yuzhu had fallen silent, Lin Jing spoke up, "Auntie, you and Su Xiaofeng are ultimately mother and daughter. Wanting to help her is understandable, but for such a big decision as starting a factory, shouldn’t you have discussed it with dad? Look at how much trouble this has caused and it almost cost dad his job."

"Some people want to erect a virtuous monument while also playing the doting mother. They really know how to act," Grandma Lin scoffed.

Luo Yuzhu truly wanted to just faint; what was all this about? What do you mean she secretly helped Xiaofeng? When has she ever helped her?

"Mom," Luo Yuzhu listened to her mother-in-law’s sarcastic tone and hurriedly explained, "Don’t listen to Yueyue’s nonsense, there’s absolutely nothing of that sort. I’ve already cut ties with her, how could I possibly still help her?"

Turning around, she sternly looked at Lin Yue, "Yueyue, it seems I’ve spoiled you too much, letting you become so unruly."

Yueyue was trying to get herself killed.

Lin Yue pouted, "Just tell me whether you’re involved or not?"

She didn’t believe there was no involvement.

"Of course not." Luo Yuzhu was clear in her conscience.

Lin Yue looked at her, a cold sneer flashing across her childish face, "Mom, remember you said it yourself, make sure you don’t get caught contradicting your own words. This time I fell into Su Xiaofeng’s trap, I’m just unlucky, but next time she better not cross my path, or else I’ll make her pay."

This time, it was her oversight that allowed Su Xiaofeng to trap her. Otherwise, it would have been Su Xiaofeng crying right now.

"Thinking of a next time." Just this once had almost cost him his job, and Yueyue was still thinking about a next time, "Yueyue, you better behave for a while. This incident has already embarrassed me deeply. If you mess up again, don’t blame your father for sending you far away to school."

This incident wasn’t just any incident; it was related to public safety. The county placed a great emphasis on it, only to discover upon investigation that the perpetrator was his daughter, Lin Yue.

Feeling the pointing and whispering from everyone around, he felt like he might just die from the shame.

Thinking this, his gaze hardened and his expression darkened as he looked at Luo Yuzhu, "And you, you’d better completely sever your ties with her. It’s best if our family avoids any involvement with her."

Anything related to Su Xiaofeng was bound never to end well.

...

Ye Cheng and Sixth Master left after finishing their meal.

Xiaofeng lay in her room, staring at the completely altered layout from when she first arrived, feeling perplexed.

She had been here for a month now, and sometimes she herself wasn’t clear whether she was still the original Su Xiaofeng or the Su Xiaofeng from the modern age.

"Master." Xiaoqi bounded energetically to Xiaofeng’s side, "It’s been three months, oh, time for me to check your body."

Xiaofeng lazily responded, "Xiaoqi, didn’t you say that just three months would tell whether I’m carrying a boy or a girl in my womb?"

If this were true, Xiaoqi was more useful than modern ultrasound.
