But where does that hand go? Inside the clothes, or upwards?
Just as Bai Ruan was about to take things further, Lin Xiazhu pushed him away. Both of them were a little out of breath. Lin Xiazhu's eyes were glistening with tears, and she glared at him without much force, looking more like she was being coquettish.
"What are you doing? Xiaoxue and Taozi are here, and this is the living room. You're being too reckless."
"Shall we go to your room?" Bai Ru'an seemed eager to continue.
"Go back to your room and sleep. Don't let your mind wander." Lin Xiazhu was flustered, but she pretended to be calm. After saying that, she quickly turned around and ran back to her room.
Bai Ru'an's peach blossom eyes darkened. He took a deep look at the door that had shut him out with a 'bang,' and returned to his guest room with some regret and pity.
After the living room lights went out and there was no more noise, Lin Taozi, who had gotten up to get a drink of water, dared to peek out through a crack in the door. She had just opened the door in a daze and witnessed something incredible.
The older sister and Xiao An were hugging and doing all sorts of things, but she didn't see anything. She immediately closed the door and thoughtfully didn't make a sound to disturb them.
Then she leaned against the door, listening to the sounds outside. As more than ten minutes passed, she worried about how things would develop. Unexpectedly, she heard her older sister say that she was going back to her room to sleep.
Lin Taozi rested her chin on her hands, feeling a little relieved but also a little regretful. Actually, she really hoped that her eldest sister and Xiao An would get married soon, but marriage is not something that can be rushed.
Never mind, this is not something she should worry about.
Oh right, what was she going to do when she got up? Oh, I remember now, she was woken up by being drunk and wanted to go to the kitchen for a drink of water.
What happened that day did not affect Lin Xiazhu. Now she goes to work at the factory in the morning and spends the afternoon at the coffee shop. Once the factory is on track, she won't have to go there every day anymore.
A few days ago, she was worried about the order. After the argument that day, she suspected that Bai Zhengping might do something, such as canceling the order from 'Five Star Electronics Factory' and making her coffee shop unable to stay open...
She considered countless possibilities, but none of them happened. In fact, given Bai Zhengping's past methods, it was quite normal for him to have people do these things, but the problem was that Bai Ru'an was standing in the way.
He thought that if he dared to lay a hand on Lin Xiazhu, that kid would dare to lay a hand on him. Before he had even done anything, the brat ran up to him and demanded that he hand over his household registration book, shouting that he wanted to transfer his household registration out. He wanted to have his own household registration book by himself, it was practically a rebellion.
“I have the inheritance and shares left to me by my great-grandfather. A few years ago, I started my own company abroad with friends. I don’t need to depend on the Bai family at all. Grandpa, you should think it over carefully and stop making trouble.” He told him to stop making trouble?
“Xiaozhu is the most important person to me. You and your two aunts should stop thinking about hurting her. Don’t cause trouble for her business, don’t hurt a single hair on her head, and don’t hurt the people around her. If you hurt her, you are hurting me. I can’t guarantee what outrageous things I might do in the end.”
Bai Ru'an spoke calmly, but the calmer he was, the less room there was for maneuver. It was best not to provoke him.
Bai Zhengping was so angry that his liver ached. He had been used to being powerful and influential all his life, and others were the ones being suppressed and threatened by him. But now, in his old age, he was being completely controlled by this unfilial grandson.
In the end, all he could do was clutch his chest, wave his hand dejectedly, and say with a weary expression, "I'm old, I can't control you young people anymore, do whatever you want."
What else can he do? His eldest son is no longer alive, and the only child left is the Bai family's precious treasure. Can he really let his children's personal feelings break his heart?
Unfortunately, no matter how much he indulged him, the brat would still hold a grudge and hurt his old man's feelings. Between his wife and grandfather, the brat decisively chose his wife; he couldn't win.
His youngest son is almost forty, but he refuses to get married and have children, spending all his time indulging in philandering. His grandson, on the other hand, is young and eager to get married, leaving him unsure whether to be happy or sad.
Seeing his worried expression, the butler advised him, "Master, children and grandchildren have their own blessings. As long as they are doing well, nothing else matters."
“I just objected, and Mingxuan asked me for the household registration book. He not only wants to transfer his household registration, but also wants to get a marriage certificate with the Lin family girl right away. Do you think he’s serious or just trying to annoy me?” Bai Zhengping said, puffing out his beard and glaring.
"I think he's serious. The young master doesn't usually joke around," the butler said confidently.
"I knew it." Bai Zhengping clutched his chest in anger again. It seemed he was about to have a granddaughter-in-law, but his grandson was afraid he wouldn't treat Lin Xiazhu well and wanted to separate from him.
Listen to this! He even dares to talk about dividing the family property. Does he think he's in the countryside where people fight over every little plot of land? Where does he think he'll get his share of the property?
Lin Xiazhu was currently at the factory discussing work with Yan Xin in the workshop. They hadn't been able to find a suitable person to fill the position of deputy factory manager at the recent job fair, so Lin Xiazhu would have to temporarily take over as factory manager.
“He has a good education and two years of work experience, but the salary he asked for was too high. However, I don’t think his abilities are worth such a high salary, so we couldn’t reach an agreement.” Yan Xin said in a low voice while watching the workers at work, talking about the recent recruitment situation.
“This can’t be rushed. It will only take a few more months of hard work. It’s not that hard, but the commute is too troublesome.” The factory is in the suburbs, and they live in the city. It’s a two-hour commute, and too much time is wasted on the road.
As the two walked slowly out of the workshop, they passed the restroom on their way back to the office. They heard arguing coming from inside. Lin Xiazhu immediately frowned. It was working hours, not time for a break yet. Why were they causing trouble in the restroom?
The working hours at 'Five Star Electronics Factory' are fixed. There is a ten-minute break every two hours. We start work at eight in the morning, and at ten o'clock we take a ten-minute break to drink tea and go to the toilet. At ten-tenths, a bell rings to remind us to start work, and then we finish get off work at noon to have lunch.
It's 9:30 in the morning. At this time, you need to bring a leave permit to leave your post. There is only one leave permit for each production line, so the two people arguing in the restroom should not be workers from the same production line.
Hearing the arguing, the two stood at the door to listen and see what was going on.
"You brat, you were short fifty yuan when we got paid the other day. The factory provides food and lodging, fifty yuan is enough for you to keep for spending money. Why did you keep a hundred? Tell me honestly, who are you going to spend the extra fifty yuan on? Have you found a boyfriend outside? Are you trying to support someone else?" The woman who said this had a somewhat old voice, probably a cleaning lady who was in charge of cleaning.
Then came the voice of a young girl, her voice trembling with tears and a hint of fear, "Mom, why are you saying this to me? I just want to buy a new outfit. Apart from the one I bought during the Chinese New Year, all the other clothes are either factory uniforms or clothes I brought from my hometown. Those clothes are so outdated."
"You've only been working for a year and you've already gone astray, wanting to dress like a butterfly? What's wrong with factory uniforms? What's wrong with the clothes you brought from your hometown? They're still new, not even worn out. You want to buy new ones? Where did you learn these fancy tricks? I'll beat you to death."
