Lin Xiaoxiao wasn't being dramatic; she was genuinely exhausted. She hadn't slept at all last night, and today had taken a long time to recover. All she wanted to do was go home, take a bath, eat her fill, and then lie comfortably in bed and go to sleep.
They were in a state of chaos, but when Wan Qing from the Wan family heard the news that Lin Xiaoxiao's factory had been burned down, she quickly checked with her older brother to confirm it. She was happy, but she was also afraid that the news was false and that she was celebrating too soon.
Unexpectedly, my older brother said it was true; the fire burned the entire factory to the ground.
When Wan Qing heard this, she was overjoyed. She paced around the house several times and even took out her own savings, saying that today was a good day and the family should celebrate properly.
When he said this, the gloating smile in his eyes was completely undisguised.
The Wan family was also happy. Han Qiushi's factory had been burned down, and even if they wanted to continue doing other things, it would take a lot of time.
In the time they've been preparing, other wolves would have snatched the job long ago once they caught a whiff of it, leaving no chance for the Han family to continue enjoying the meat.
Wan Qing was unusually excited at the dinner table today, constantly asking how they managed to do it. That was a strictly managed military unit; setting fire there was extremely difficult. She was truly thrilled. Lin Xiaoxiao was now a thorn in everyone's side, but even with such a difficult task, her family would still step in.
No matter the year, the military has always been known for its domineering style; you can't touch them without having some real strength.
However, to Wan Qing's surprise, none of her family members admitted that the Wan family had been involved in the arson.
In particular, Mr. Wan kept emphasizing at the dinner table: "Our family has always been law-abiding. We have not participated in anything and have always gone to work and lived our lives in a law-abiding manner."
"Wan Qing, you may be proud of yourself, but you mustn't speak carelessly about such things. Our Wan family will never do anything that harms the interests of soldiers."
Upon hearing this, Wan's mother looked at Wan Qing and added, "That's right, we're all at home every day. Don't say anything out of line outside or at home. If your grandfather finds out, he'll really scold you."
“It’s one thing to curse, but why should our family take the blame for someone else?” Wanli chimed in, afraid that his younger sister might say something that would be detrimental to the family.
When Wan Qing heard that everyone in his family said the same thing, he was initially quite certain that his family was involved, but now he was starting to have doubts. However, none of that mattered. What mattered was that Lin Xiaoxiao was in trouble.
She promised her family, "Okay, okay, I heard you. I promise I won't say anything bad about the family." She felt that they were all overly worried and didn't trust her.
Although she was usually spoiled, she was very clear about the interests of the family. Only when the family was safe and sound could they continue to live such a good life.
Wan Qing has made it clear that she is acting with discretion.
But he still got a big talk from his own father.
"There's been a lot going on in the capital lately, so none of you are allowed to go out and cause trouble. I'd rather you all have fun outside than do anything hard for me."
"Given the current situation, you all need to keep your heads down and get to work. Sometimes being too scheming isn't necessarily a good thing. If you can't stand being alone, then go out and sell things, travel, or do those kinds of things. I won't care about you."
"Also, try to avoid contact with those young masters from the capital. Otherwise, you might come back and cause trouble for your family even though you haven't done anything wrong..."
Wan Qing originally thought that the old man's speech was aimed at him, but it turned out that it wasn't directed at him at all.
She didn't even have a job in the capital, and even if she wanted to work hard, she had no direction. As for the rich young masters, they were still polite to her on the surface because of what happened in Wangjia Village, but they looked down on her behind her back.
She wouldn't go up there and be disliked, but there was one advantage: Grandpa said that she could go shopping and travel during this time. With the old man's words, she lived a very comfortable life for a few days and visited Wen Tianshi more often, giving others the feeling that something good was about to happen.
It should be a great pleasure for the Wen family to be able to form a marriage alliance with a family like the Wan family, as this means that the Wen family still has hope of returning to its former position.
However, Qin Ying from the Wen family didn't seem as happy as one might expect.
That day, after she finished get off work at the department store, she stayed there and didn't leave. Usually, she was the most eager to leave work, but today she was very unusual. Not only did she often stare blankly at the counter, but she also lost her temper with almost every customer who came in.
His colleagues could tell from the look of it that he was in a bad mood today.
After staying in the department store for about ten minutes, she finally moved. She rode her bicycle away in silence, not in the direction of home, and the further she went, the further away she got from her home.
She finally stopped near a gatehouse. She intended to go straight in, but then she remembered something and stopped in her tracks. It still took her some courage to do that.
After hesitating for a long time, she decided not to go in and would just wait for the person she wanted to wait for.
But after only about five minutes, Qin Ying regretted it. She didn't know what had gotten into her, waiting for a troublemaker in such cold weather. Wasn't she just asking for trouble?
The more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt. What was the point of doing this? In the end, she still cared about that brat. When they met later, Lin Xiaoxiao had better give her a nice look, otherwise, she definitely wouldn't say anything.
Even though she, as a mother, had bowed her head, Lin Xiaoxiao had to give her face and call her "Mom."
She didn't know why, even though she didn't really like this girl, she still really wanted to hear Lin Xiaoxiao call her "Mom".
Children crave maternal love the most, but how can someone be like Lin Xiaoxiao, who doesn't acknowledge her own mother, yet wants to take care of her teacher in her old age, and is so good to that Bai Hehua? Who will be able to explain the things between them in the future?
Qin Ying thought about it more and more and it made more sense. She even stomped her feet against the wall in a rhythmic way.
While she was having a great time playing on the side, she saw a car coming from afar. Qin Ying looked closely at the passenger seat and saw that it was her daughter, Lin Xiaoxiao.
After recognizing the person, Qin Ying immediately pushed her bicycle forward and waved frantically.
"Sister-in-law, doesn't that lady look a little familiar?" Han Qiulin asked, waking Lin Xiaoxiao, who was dozing off beside him, as he drove.
