Chapter 173 Stranger
Mu Lingfeng's words made the cleaning lady immediately nervous. Facing the company's big boss, the cleaning lady seemed to become speechless.
"I told you to throw it away, did you hear me?" Seeing the cleaning lady standing there motionless, Mu Lingfeng yelled.
His voice called the cleaning lady back to life. Looking at Mu Lingfeng, she said cautiously, "Mr. Mu, Secretary Yun asked me to put away this lunch box."
"I have already washed the lunch box and will return it to Secretary Yun later. I..."
Before the old lady could finish her words, she was interrupted by Mu Lingfeng: "Just throw it away when I told you to. Why are you talking so much nonsense? When Secretary Yun asks you about it, just say that I told you to throw it away."
After hearing what Mu Lingfeng said, the aunt helplessly threw the lunch box into the trash can.
Only after watching the lunch box being thrown into the trash can did Mu Lingfeng leave with a sense of relief.
I really don’t know what these rich people are thinking. How can they just throw away such a good lunch box?
Glancing at the lunch box she had thrown into the trash can, the aunt complained silently.
After Yun Jin finished lunch near the company, she took a short nap and was about to return to the company when she received a call from Zhang Guilan:
"Xiao Jin, your uncle Chen and them started a fight."
"Mom, how could this happen? Don't panic, I'll be back soon." Knowing that it would be difficult to get the answer over the phone, Yun Jin decided to ask for leave and go back to check.
After hanging up the phone, Yun Jin thought for a moment and called Mu Lingfeng: "Mr. Mu, something happened at home. I need to take a leave this afternoon."
"Is the situation serious? Do you need my help?" Mu Lingfeng was very happy to see Yun Jin call him on his own initiative, but after hearing Yun Jin's words, he immediately became worried.
"It's not serious. Thank you Mr. Mu for your concern. I can handle it." Yun Jin rejected Mu Lingfeng's kindness.
Despite his disappointment, Mu Lingfeng still comforted Yun Jin: "Don't worry, if you have any questions, you can call me."
"Thank you!" Yun Jin replied lightly and hung up the phone in a hurry.
She has been saying that something happened at home these past two days. What was it? Could it be related to her boyfriend?
After hanging up the phone with Yun Jin, Mu Lingfeng sat in the office, thinking quietly.
Thinking of Yun Jin's boyfriend, Mu Lingfeng's face slowly darkened.
While Mu Lingfeng was daydreaming, Yun Jin had already taken a taxi to his mother and stepfather's house.
As soon as she reached the entrance of the staircase, Yun Jin heard a scolding voice coming from upstairs: "Chen Zhi, you ungrateful bastard, I..."
Without listening carefully, Yun Jin knew that this was the voice of Old Lady Chen.
Yun Jin immediately quickened her pace and went upstairs.
"What? Have you brought back some help?" Seeing Yun Jin coming in, Old Lady Chen immediately turned her gaze to Yun Jin and spoke in a sarcastic tone.
Yun Jin did not speak rashly without fully understanding the situation.
Seeing Yun Jin didn't say anything, Old Lady Chen became even angrier: "They have been eating our Chen family's food for so many years, and they didn't even call us a word. If I had known it would be like this, I shouldn't have agreed to let them enter our Chen family."
"Mom, Guilan and Xiaojin are my wife and daughter, you have no right to say that about them." Hearing what Old Lady Chen said, Chen Zhi said bluntly.
"I think you were bewitched by these two, that's why you treated me and Gangzi's family like this. You are such a heartless person."
"If I knew you would be such an unfilial person before I gave birth to you, I should not have given birth to you."
Old Mrs. Chen's words became more and more outrageous.
Chen Gang and his family stood aside and said nothing.
As her words became increasingly unpleasant, Yun Jin was about to speak, but Zhang Guilan, who was standing next to her, gently pulled her back, signaling her not to speak.
Yun Jin swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth when her mother stopped her.
"Gangzi's family is in trouble now, so what's wrong with me asking you to help them? You, an unfilial son, not only did you refuse, you also wanted to drive us away."
"Go out and ask, where in the world is there someone as cruel as you?"
Old Mrs. Chen continued to speak, and every word she said was a condemnation of Chen Zhi.
"Mom, our family paid half of the money that Zihao got. I, Chen Zhi, think I have done my best. What else do you want?"
Taking advantage of the time when Old Lady Chen took a break, Chen Zhi spoke.
"Zihao has lost his job now, and Gangzi and his wife don't have any skills. As the eldest brother and uncle, shouldn't you continue to help them? Once Zihao finds a new job, we will leave here."
After listening for a long time, Yun Jin finally understood that Old Madam Chen and the others wanted to go back on their word. They were unwilling to move to the remote old house and wanted to stay here.
"Grandma, I..." Chen Zihao wanted to speak, but was suppressed by Wang Fengying.
"Mom, our fruit shop business isn't very good. We can only barely make enough for our family. With you in the mix, we're really in trouble."
"Besides, our house is very small and can't accommodate so many people."
Facing the aggressiveness of Old Mrs. Chen, Chen Zhi patiently persuaded her.
"How's Xiao? You've stayed here for the past few days. Besides, besides running a fruit shop, you also have a daughter who works in a big company."
"I heard that the salary at Mu's is very good, so it shouldn't be a problem to provide food and drink for a few of us in a short period of time."
Unexpectedly, Old Mrs. Chen would actually say this, and shamelessly plot against Yun Jin.
At this point, Zhang Guilan, who originally didn't want to speak, refused to agree: "Mom, Chen Zhinian and I are your elders, and we have the obligation to support you, but if you want us to also support the lives of Second Uncle and his family, I'm sorry I can't agree to that."
"This is our Chen family's internal affair. When is it your turn as an outsider to speak up?" Old Mrs. Chen obviously didn't take Zhang Guilan's words to heart. She looked at Zhang Guilan and said contemptuously.
"Gui Lan is my wife, she is not an outsider, Mom. If you continue to treat Gui Lan as an outsider, then you and I will only be strangers in the future."
"From now on, you will no longer be welcome in my home."
As soon as Mrs. Chen finished speaking, Chen Zhi immediately spoke mercilessly.
