Ai Xiaoxia transmigrated to the early 1990s, becoming a newlywed bride returning home.
Unexpectedly, her maiden home was a wolf's den, actually forcing her to extort money from her husban...
Chapter 441 Preparing to Transfer Xu Xinran
Sun Qiang planned to let Shi Liang come over here to work as a chef, and Lin Xiaoxia had no objection to this.
It is easy to recruit waiters and bath attendants because many people are laid off now, so this is not difficult.
After the discussion, Lin Xiaoxia went to Shiliang to take a look.
Shiliang is really hardworking. I heard from his master that Shiliang has basically never gone out to play. He works hard in the kitchen every day. The wounds on his hands have become calluses one after another. He is not the most talented, but he is definitely the hardest working.
Lin Xiaoxia also has high hopes for Shiliang.
After leaving the hotel, Lin Xiaoxia went back to visit Ju Huiyan. Lin Mei's two friends, Tian Xue and Shi Yan, were apprentices to Ju Huiyan. Since the two girls could make clothes at home, they could do odd jobs as apprentices here. It just so happened that Ju Huiyan was busy and also wanted to recruit apprentices.
The two girls came for Lin Mei, so Lin Xiaoxia took better care of them. However, the two girls were very sensible and motivated, so there was no need to worry about them. She could just come to visit occasionally.
Although Shi Yan is Shi Liang's sister, they are both very busy, so Shi Liang went to pick her up when she came, and they haven't seen each other much since then.
After returning home from the garment shop, it was already noon, but Lu Jingshen had not returned half an hour after get off work. Lin Xiaoxia was just about to go out to greet him because he would call her if Lu Jingshen didn't come back for dinner.
But before Lin Xiaoxia went out, the phone rang.
Lin Xiaoxia went over to answer the phone. It was Xu Xinran who called and said that Lu Jingshen was in her dormitory and his clothes were wet, so she asked Lin Xiaoxia to send him a clean set of clothes.
Lin Xiaoxia put down the phone, feeling more and more uncomfortable. Although she knew that Lu Jingshen was a good person, it was obvious that Xu Xinran was looking for trouble, and she had underestimated her before.
Lin Xiaoxia took a clean shirt of Lu Jingshen to Xu Xinran's dormitory.
When they reached the door, it was ajar. Lin Xiaoxia pushed it open and just as she walked in, she saw Xu Xinran coming out in a suspender pajamas. "Sister-in-law, come in quickly. Brother Shen is in the bathroom. Please sit down and I'll go in and take a look."
Lin Xiaoxia grabbed Xu Xinran and said, "I'll go." Then she walked in.
Lu Jingshen was twisting the water pipe with a wrench and said without turning around, "Xiao Li, give me the wire."
Lin Xiaoxia's tone was not very good: "I'm not Xiao Li, I'm Xiao Lin." After all, this scene made people uncomfortable no matter what.
Xu Xinran felt particularly happy when she heard Lin Xiaoxia's tone. She knew that the two had been fooled, and she was looking forward to their speculations and arguments with each other next.
Lu Jingshen was a little surprised to hear his wife's voice: "Xiaoxia, why are you here?" After saying that, he pressed the water pipe with his hand and turned around to look at Lin Xiaoxia.
Lin Xiaoxia didn't bother talking about other things and directly told me what she knew. "Xu Xinran called me and asked me to bring you some dry clothes, so I came. There were only the two of you in the room, and Xu Xinran was only wearing a suspender pajamas. I felt that something was wrong."
Xu Xinran also came to Lin Xiaoxia's side and said to Lu Jingshen in a rage, "Brother Shen, I think my sister-in-law misunderstood me. I just wanted to change clothes. I really didn't expect my sister-in-law to be so picky. She's really too petty..."
Without waiting for Xu Xinran to finish, Lu Jingshen stood up directly, not caring about the water from the pipe spraying on him. He used his back to block the water to prevent Lin Xiaoxia from being sprayed, and then went over to pull Lin Xiaoxia out of the bathroom: "Xiaoxia, there is a misunderstanding here."
Lin Xiaoxia was not stupid. She had already connected all these things in her mind. She was sure that she had been tricked by Xu Xinran. She knew Lu Jingshen too well. Lu Jingshen was definitely not a man who was emotionally questionable. Since it was Xu Xinran's trap, if she showed anger now, she would really have fallen into her trap. If she had anything to say to Lu Jingshen, they could talk about it at home, but she could not let Xu Xinran succeed.
So she said to Lu Jingshen, "I know it's a misunderstanding, or a misunderstanding deliberately designed by Xu Xinran. She took advantage of our trust in her. It seems that we have all been deceived by her before."
Lu Jingshen also realized that something was wrong at this time, because he had no idea when Xu Xinran changed her clothes, and Xiao Li was no longer there.
When getting off work at noon today, Xu Xinran said that the water pipe was broken and asked Lu Jingshen to come and help take a look. Lu Jingshen was afraid that it was inappropriate for a man and a woman to be alone, so he asked his colleague Xiao Li to come along. When he was repairing the water pipe just now, he needed wire, so he asked Xiao Li to get it, but after a long time, Xiao Li didn't come back. Now Xiao Li is gone, Lin Xiaoxia is here, and Xu Xinran has changed into pajamas. Everything is not normal.
However, what kept Lu Jingshen from getting flustered was Lin Xiaoxia's trust. His wife's trust gave him time to sort things out and understand where the problem lay.
He looked at Lin Xiaoxia with gratitude in his eyes. "Wife, thank you for your trust. Xu Xinran did trick me. Today I brought Xiao Li with me to fix her water pipe, but Xiao Li went to get the wire and hasn't come back yet. Xu Xinran changed into pajamas for no apparent reason, even though her clothes weren't wet. I didn't need to change my clothes at all. This was a trap. It seems I was overthinking it. But we can ask Xiao Li to confront us. He just left a few minutes ago."
Lin Xiaoxia understood what was going on. She said to Lu Jingshen, "No need. If we don't have this little bit of trust, what kind of husband and wife are we? It's such a trivial matter that it's worth making a fuss and alarming our colleagues. Wouldn't that make people laugh? Look, isn't everything clear now that we've talked it out? How can we let outsiders instigate us? It's okay, let's go home. I'm hungry."
At this time, Xu Xinran was stunned. This was completely different from what she had originally imagined. She thought that Lin Xiaoxia would definitely misunderstand and then quarrel with Lu Jingshen. Then she would add fuel to the fire and say some divisive words, which might cause a rift between them.
She came here for revenge, to destroy his marriage and make him unhappy, but she didn't expect it to be so difficult.
Originally, Xu Xinran thought that Lu Jingshen and Lin Xiaoxia had only been married for a year, and her attempts to sow discord between them would succeed. However, she never expected that they would actually talk about trust now. What should she do?
Yes, I can't let them believe that it was my design, otherwise I won't have any chance to instigate them. I have already lost my shame and I just want to make Lu Jingshen unhappy.
So she wanted to reach out and pull Lu Jingshen: "Brother Shen, you really misunderstood me. My clothes were wet just now, so I just changed into another one. Xiao Li came back with the wire and said he was hungry and went to eat. Isn't the wire on the table? It's really not as complicated as you think."
Lu Jingshen dodged Xu Xinran's hand and said, "Stay away from me. I really didn't expect you to be so treacherous. I feel sorry for Professor Xu. It seems you're not suitable for internship here. I'll write you a letter of introduction this afternoon. You should hurry back to the provincial capital. This place isn't the right place for you."
