Lin Wanwan covered her face with a scarf and returned to the steel factory.

Halfway there, they ran into Liu Guangyuan, with whom they had long since severed ties.

"Wanwan..." Liu Guangyuan moved closer to her reflexively.

"Don't come any closer." Lin Wanwan stopped him, her face lowered, not looking at him, and only mumbled, "I'm already married, don't bother me."

He ran away after saying that.

Entanglement?

Liu Guangyuan took two steps back, unable to accept it, and watched Lin Wanwan's figure quickly run away, feeling a pang of heartache.

He did so much for her, even risking a falling out with his parents, just to get her a job so she could return to the city from the countryside, all so they could be together once she was back.

For the first two weeks, the two were inseparable, and Lin Wanwan was very gentle with him.

Gradually, she stopped paying attention to him.

After reflecting for so long, all I got in the end was the news that Lin Wanwan was getting married.

She married Lu Yunzhang, the eldest son of the famous Lu family in Beijing.

He couldn't believe it, but it was true.

He wanted to find another opportunity to have a proper talk with her, but what he got in return was a message to stop bothering her.

Liu Guangyuan lowered his head dejectedly.

Little did they know that their confrontation was being witnessed by a heavily pregnant woman.

Liu Guangyuan turned and headed home. He hadn't gone more than a few steps when a pregnant woman walked towards him.

He instinctively moved aside to make way for her.

Unexpectedly, the pregnant woman also moved and stood directly in front of him.

Liu Guangyuan lost his patience and yelled, "You're sick..."

He froze halfway through his sentence.

The woman, supporting her back and heavily pregnant, saw him staring blankly at her and said sarcastically, "Oh, who is this? Isn't this the son of the head of the finance department at our steel plant? Why does he look like a stray dog?"

"Xiao Fang?" Liu Guangyuan murmured as he saw the woman.

"No way." The woman pouted. "Comrade Liu, please just call me Comrade He. After all, we have no relation."

Liu Guangyuan glanced at her belly, "You... congratulations, how many months pregnant are you?"

He Fang touched her belly, "A few months has nothing to do with you. What, did that bitch Lin Wanwan seduce you and then dump you? Hahahaha, serves you right."

He Fang spoke of Lin Wanwan with a hint of gritted teeth.

She treated her as a good friend, but that bitch seduced her boyfriend and then came to her to show off.

If her mother hadn't stopped her back then, she would have slashed her face with a knife long ago.

Bah! You slut.

Liu Guangyuan frowned. "Why do you still remember what happened a couple of years ago? Wanwan... she didn't do anything wrong. I'm the one who's sorry."

He Fang spat, "That slut Lin Wanwan, only you were blind to her worth. Now that she has a better choice and has squeezed out all your usefulness, she dumped you without hesitation and went to climb the social ladder."

Liu Guangyuan wanted to refute her, saying that Lin Wanwan was not that kind of person.

But considering the change in Lin Wanwan's attitude towards him after returning to the city, he had to admit that He Fang was right.

Lin Wanwan was just using him from beginning to end.

Liu Guangyuan gritted his teeth, his face full of humiliation.

"People should never do anything that goes against their conscience," He Fang said sarcastically as she walked away. "Doing too many bad things will never end well."

"Neither you nor Lin Wanwan will have a good ending, haha."

Liu Guangyuan stood there, his expression unreadable.

"Dad, look how badly that bitch Lin Xiaoxiao beat me up. How am I supposed to go back to the Lu family now?"

Back at the Lin family home, Lin Wanwan ripped off her scarf, revealing her swollen face to Lin Dashan.

Since the news of the marriage alliance with the Lu family spread, this is the third time that the factory director has invited Lin Dashan to his office for tea.

He had the identity of an employee, but he didn't have to go to work. He just wandered around the factory every day with nothing to do, and no one said anything to him.

The privileges that came with this status fascinated Lin Dashan.

Because he had given nearly 10,000 yuan to his in-law Lu Hua over the years, Lu Hua's attitude towards him improved considerably.

Lin Dashan promised the factory director something. If he did it well, he might be able to get a section chief position in the factory, and at the same time, the factory director would owe him a huge favor.

But this is no small matter. Lu Hua might not even have the authority to handle it. In the end, it will have to be Grandpa Lu who speaks up for it to be done properly.

If you want people to do things, you have to feed them.

Lin Dashan was thinking of pulling off a big heist in the next couple of days, making a few hundred thousand yuan, and then settling down for six months.

While I was pondering this at home, Lin Wanwan ran in.

Lin Wanwan is now a great contributor to the Lin family. Lin Dashan is extremely satisfied with her and grants her almost every request.

Upon seeing her face, Lin Dashan slammed his fist on the table in anger, "That brat Lin Xiaoxiao, does she really think I can't do anything about her?"

"Don't worry, Wanwan, Dad will go to see her in a couple of days and make her apologize to you."

A glint of malice flashed in Lin Wanwan's eyes, "I'm going to personally smash her face."

Lin Dashan glanced at her and thought to himself that she was indeed his biological daughter, with ruthlessness and scheming in her bones.

On the contrary, Lin Xiaoxiao is much weaker in character, and it's obvious at a glance that she's not a member of the Lin family.

Thinking back to when he and Xu Fen first found Lin Xiaoxiao and another baby boy, although their faces looked sick, their bodies were fair and tender, indicating that they had been well cared for while still in the womb.

Maybe that wretched girl comes from a decent background.

Many guesses flashed through Lin Dashan's mind, but after a while he shook his head, thinking to himself that he was really overthinking things.
