Chapter 183: 183 Taking as One’s Own (Second Update)Was Lin Jianguo angry? He certainly was angry. What made him even angrier was that Luo Yuzhu had secretly set up a factory for Su Xiaofeng without telling him, and now Su Xiaofeng had stirred up trouble for him. He had been diligent and capable at his job for many years. Was he going to let a minor incident ruin it all? Although he had already been transferred from his previous position, in theory, even if Su Xiaofeng really did cause trouble, it shouldn’t be blamed on him. But, the perfect image he had maintained over the years was about to collapse because of this. Therefore, he must have his own stance on Su Xiaofeng before the appraisal report from the related department came out. Luo Yuzhu found it strange that Lin Jianguo wasn’t taking a nap during lunch break: "Why don’t you take a nap today? Didn’t you say you have a heavy workload this afternoon?" She had just seen Lin Yue leaving from here, heartily smiling: "Is it because Yueyue came to ask you for pocket money again? You really shouldn’t indulge her too much. Developing a spendthrift habit is not good." After many years of marriage, Lin Jianguo couldn’t be said to be a particularly good husband, but at least he was decent enough towards Yueyue. As long as Lin Jianguo didn’t mind that she had given him a daughter, she had nothing to worry about. Seeing her calm and unbothered expression, as if nothing could affect her, Lin Jianguo was so enraged that he couldn’t hold it in and slapped her face with his right hand. A crisp and loud "smack" resounded. Luo Yuzhu had intended to approach Lin Jianguo to smooth his clothes, but his unexpected slap flung her several steps away. Luo Yuzhu covered her face, puzzled, looking at Lin Jianguo who suddenly flew into a rage, thinking only one thing: What could Jianguo possibly know to be this angry? "Jianguo, what’s gotten into you?" Luo Yuzhu covered her face, the slap had stung quite badly. Lin Jianguo glared at Luo Yuzhu, struggling to control his fury: "Luo Yuzhu, did you go behind my back to find connections for Su Xiaofeng and even set up a factory for her?" Luo Yuzhu was clueless: "What are you talking about? What kind of factory could Xiaofeng possibly run? I heard she just rented a place to make chili sauce, you know that place, it’s the old one owned by Yuan." Luo Yuzhu couldn’t believe Su Xiaofeng had started a factory. She knew Xiaofeng’s character best. She couldn’t make a fart with three sticks, let alone run a factory. Ridiculous. But then she thought again, if it weren’t true, why would Jianguo be so angry: "Even if she did start a factory, it really has nothing to do with me. Why are you so furious? Did she upset you again?" This darn girl, weren’t they already cut off from each other? Why still entangled? Sёarᴄh the Novelƒire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "It has nothing to do with you?" Lin Jianguo scoffed: "If I remember correctly, Su Xiaofeng grew up in the countryside, except for three years of high school, she never went anywhere. I’d like to know how a person who has never been anywhere or entered a factory suddenly decided to start one, wasn’t it your idea?" While Su Xiaofeng was somewhat educated and with a push from someone she might make it on her own, Xiaofeng’s biological father and stepmother are true country folks. They probably didn’t understand the concept of a factory at all; it couldn’t have been their idea to help Xiaofeng. Luo Yuzhu sincerely felt wronged; she hadn’t even seen Xiaofeng for a while, let alone helped her start any factory. But she needed to clear this up, or Jianguo wouldn’t let it go: "Jianguo, listen to me, I didn’t know anything about Xiaofeng starting a factory. I genuinely didn’t help her, I wish I had nothing to do with her right now, how could I possibly help her? Jianguo, I really didn’t, you have to believe me." "I could believe you." Lin Jianguo looked at the earnest Luo Yuzhu, uncertain whether this matter was related to her or not: "I received news that there was a problem with the raw materials at Su Xiaofeng’s factory. If there’s a problem with the raw materials, the cause will definitely be investigated, and I will have to get involved when that happens. If things go wrong, I might have to take responsibility for it." Luo Yuzhu turned pale at Lin Jianguo’s words. She knew all too well what it meant to take responsibility for something. This meant if the issue fell on Jianguo’s head, his current work position would definitely be affected. Thinking of this, she became restless: "Jianguo, what should we do? What do you need me to do now? Your job must not be lost, if you lose your job, what will happen to our family?" Lin Jianguo, hearing Luo Yuzhu’s words, was displeased: "You better pray that everything is fine with me, if it weren’t for your daughter causing trouble, I wouldn’t be facing these issues." All these issues, one after another. "So what do you want me to do?" Luo Yuzhu, hands sweating from fear, regretted ever impulsively bringing such trouble home. Lin Jianguo sternly instructed Luo Yuzhu, and did not forget to add a threatening reminder: "It’s best if you handle this matter. No matter how you look at it, you two are still technically mother and daughter. Besides, if a buyer for the factory can be found quickly and the person in charge isn’t Su Xiaofeng, I naturally won’t be linked to this affair, do you understand? Luo Yuzhu, if you don’t handle this well, what use is there in having married you?" Luo Yuzhu shuddered at Lin Jianguo’s last words. She didn’t know when it started, but Lin Jianguo had been repeating this phrase every now and then. "Don’t worry, Xiaofeng is the girl I brought back to the Su Family; the responsibility lies with me. Now that she has caused such a mess, I obviously need to deal with it. Don’t worry, this will definitely not be linked to you, and if it ever does, you can divorce me." Lin Jianguo was somewhat satisfied with Luo Yuzhu’s response. He always appreciated Luo Yuzhu’s ability to understand the situation; look, whatever he meant to express, Luo Yuzhu immediately guessed it. ... Luo Yuzhu returned to her room and paced back and forth in frustration, unable to think of a good solution. Then a lightbulb went off; if Xiaofeng’s route was blocked, they could approach He Ximei. As long as she promised tomatchmake for the fool, He Ximei would definitely be willing to help her. As long as He Ximei was willing to take over the factory, claiming it was hers and had nothing to do with Xiaofeng, wouldn’t that solve everything? Thinking this, Luo Yuzhu quickly changed clothes and rushed out the door. Lin Yue, from upstairs, saw Luo Yuzhu hurriedly leaving and immediately followed. She wanted to see what unsightly dealings her mother had with Xiaofeng. He Ximei, after having lunch, was preparing to go to the factory when she saw Luo Yuzhu at the door, snorted coldly: "What wind blew today, my daughter came over this noon, and not even half a day later, here comes mom. What, did you really take a fancy to our family’s factory, thinking of claiming it as your own while Xiaofeng is away?"
