The next morning, Shen Fenghua finished her work in an orderly manner before taking the materials to Li Yanran and handing over all her work.
The two men, relieved of their intense focus, breathed a sigh of relief. "How did it go? Did you get to the factory manager's office?"
Shen Fenghua shook her head, "Not yet. I plan to go later. Anyway, that thing is right there. It's mine, and it can't run away no matter what."
That's true. Li Yanran felt that what Shen Fenghua said made sense. But as the old saying goes, some things are better done sooner rather than later.
Buying a house is a major event, and it's important to settle it as soon as possible to put people at ease.
Delay may lead to unforeseen changes; the longer the night lasts, the more things may go wrong.
Before Li Yanran could even open her mouth to offer any advice, Shen Fenghua spoke first, "Sister Yanran, I came to see you about something else."
"you say."
Shen Fenghua recounted the events of yesterday in detail, her brows furrowed the entire time. "Shen Huixiu and my biased mother definitely have a problem, but I don't know exactly what the problem is. So, I was thinking that Brother He has many connections, and I wondered if I could ask him to inquire about it for me."
Li Yanran was trembling with anger. She couldn't hold back and cursed loudly in the secretary's office, "This bastard! I knew she was biased and had bad intentions, but I never expected that she would do something so heartless, helping the one she loves to scheme against the one she doesn't love."
Shen Fenghua: "..."
Although I knew Li Yanran was standing up for me, her words still sounded so awkward.
Moreover, Shen Fenghua felt it necessary to correct Li Yanran's view, "Sister, although both are flesh and blood, there are still differences in how much flesh you give to one."
Li Yanran: "..."
All the anger was extinguished by Shen Fenghua's words.
She sighed, sat down, and said, "Tell me, what are your plans?"
“I do have plans,” Shen Fenghua finally revealed her true colors to Li Yanran, showing her true colors. “Shen Huixiu is no good. That girl is sweet-talking but vicious. She will do anything to achieve her goals. I definitely won’t keep such a ticking time bomb by my side.”
What's more, she was hoping for a smooth and happy married life, with Shen Huixiu watching her every move with predatory intent...
Well, how should I put it? This girl isn't cunning enough. Every trick she comes up with is just her own cleverness, it won't succeed, and it will only get her into trouble.
But as the old saying goes, a toad on your foot may not bite, but it's still annoying.
Such a menace should be sent far away, the farther the better. Once the troublemaker Shen Huixiu is gone, the rest of Shen's mother will be no threat and will be easy to deal with.
At that time, she must have been busy trying to help her daughter who had gone to the countryside. If she tried to bother him, she would be turned away several times in a row. Her pride would not be able to bear it, and she would naturally avoid him.
but……
At that time, as her mother, there was a possibility that she wanted to gossip and use public opinion to suppress her.
Shen Fenghua is a social person; she has to go to work and socialize, so she naturally wouldn't allow her mother to go out and ruin her reputation.
Therefore, both sides had their own agendas in this treacherous banquet.
Shen Huixiu and her mother, who were the leaders, naturally wanted to get something from Shen Fenghua. Shen Fenghua, on the other hand, was much more straightforward. She wanted to get leverage over her mother so that even if she wanted to cause trouble, she would have to think twice about whether she could afford the consequences.
After Shen Fenghua finished speaking, she was still a little uneasy, afraid that Li Yanran would find out that she had so many hidden thoughts and was deliberately avoiding her.
Unexpectedly, Li Yanran suddenly hugged Shen Fenghua with tears in her eyes and whispered, "You've suffered so much these past years."
Shen Fenghua couldn't hold back anymore, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
She considers herself an adult and keeps some things to herself, not sharing them with outsiders.
On the one hand, her fragile pride wouldn't allow her to do something so weak and ingratiating; on the other hand...
Even if she wants to complain or act cute, someone has to pay for it.
The Shen family was indifferent and cold. If she showed weakness to them, she would only receive false comfort, followed by overwhelming ridicule.
Showing weakness to someone like that is worse than letting Shen Fenghua die.
Her only loving grandmother is getting old, and over the years she has always only shared good news and never bad. Whenever they meet, she is too happy to even think about complaining.
Even if you tell them, what good will it do?
What could a woman in her sixties with gray hair and bound feet do?
After hastily wiping away her granddaughter's tears, she left, filled with deep worry. She couldn't help, yet she was filled with anxiety.
Just thinking about it made Shen Fenghua feel that those days were really too hard.
She didn't want the happy little old lady to become like this.
Therefore, no matter how much suffering there is, one must swallow one's pride and bear it.
"Don't cry," Li Yanran hugged Shen Fenghua, gently stroking her trembling back, and said softly, "You know, seeing you like this now, I'm actually quite happy. I used to think you were too carefree and didn't have any guile, and I was afraid you would be taken advantage of by the Shen family. But now it seems, well, you've made some progress, and I can feel a little more at ease."
After letting Shen Fenghua vent her anger, Li Yanran handed her a handkerchief. "Alright, wipe your tears and cheer up. Just like you said, there's still a treacherous banquet to attend."
After venting her anger, Shen Fenghua felt much lighter. "Alright, let's investigate Shen Huixiu's matter..."
Li Yanran thumped her chest loudly, "Don't worry, leave this to Lao He. That brat Shen Huixiu has only been eating for a few years. Instead of thinking about going to the countryside properly, she's full of crooked ideas. Don't worry, she's easy to investigate. You should think about how to settle down now that you've got your house."
Shen Fenghua took quite a while to recover, after all, her eyes were swollen from crying, and the redness and swelling didn't go down for a while. Shen Fenghua rolled her eyes and simply said goodbye to Li Yanran, "Sister, I have something to do, I'll be going now."
"Hey, where are you going? Your eyes are still red."
"Go find the factory manager to arrange the house," Shen Fenghua said in a flurry, leaving without hesitation. Before leaving, she gave Li Yanran a wink, "My eyes look like this now, maybe it will bring unexpected results."
Li Yanran: "..."
She silently gave a thumbs up. Wow, that learning ability is truly unmatched.
