Qian Wenqing reluctantly went out to bring the person in, then glared fiercely at Xiao Lin before leaving.
There was no fear in Xiaolin's eyes; on the contrary, she was very calm.
Seeing this, Xu Xiangyang didn't speak first, but quietly looked at him.
Xiao Lin was no longer calm when facing Xu Xiangyang; there was some doubt in her eyes.
In his opinion, Xu Xiangyang should be very angry.
After all, he was very angry to see so much food being wasted.
But now he's looking at me so calmly, it's kind of creepy...
After staring at him for a while, Xu Xiangyang saw that he was about to collapse, so he slowly said, "Sit down."
He pointed to the chair opposite him, indicating that he should sit there.
Xiaolin was already a little nervous from his gaze, so when he was told to sit down, she went over and sat down.
As he relaxed, he heard the person opposite him speak.
Xu Xiangyang said calmly, "Xiao Lin, how have I treated you?"
Instead of immediately asking about the matter, they started talking about their usual relationship.
Xiaolin paused for a moment, then looked at him with a complicated expression before finally replying, "Very good."
His tone was filled with helplessness and struggle.
This shows that he didn't actually want to do it, but he did it anyway, which means there was a reason.
Thinking of this, Xu Xiangyang slowly stood up and walked to the window.
"Everyone should go do what they're supposed to do!" he said from a distance.
Kobayashi looked at him with a puzzled expression, and then heard messy footsteps outside the window.
It sounds like there are several people eavesdropping outside, not just one.
He didn't even realize that someone was eavesdropping outside.
How did Xu Xiangyang discover it without even looking at it?
While he was filled with doubt, he couldn't help but feel that Xu Xiangyang was somewhat unfathomable.
Actually, he was too nervous and didn't notice.
Xu Xiangyang had heard earlier that Qian Wenqing hadn't gone far and had stopped by the window.
"Xiao Lin, since I've treated you well, why would you cooperate with someone else and sabotage my plans?" He turned and asked, "Is it possible that the other person's offer is better than what you're getting here?"
This is considered the best place; it offers better benefits than the black markets in other districts.
Let alone newcomers, people from other places also want to come.
But we already have enough people here, so we haven't hired anyone.
I really don't know what Xiaolin is thinking. Everyone else is desperate to get in, but he's jumping around trying to run away.
There was a hint of struggle in Xiaolin's eyes, then she said, "I know this place is nice, and I'm grateful for your help when I was in trouble, and for my sister too..."
“But…” He paused, exhaled, and continued, “I still have parents at home, and that person is threatening me that if I don’t comply, he’ll make them lose their jobs. At first, I didn’t believe it, but then my mother lost her job first…”
That's enough to prove that what that person said wasn't a lie, but a serious statement.
That's why Kobayashi listened to that person and did just that.
Xu Xiangyang was puzzled. Since they had parents, why had they fallen to this state?
Of course, he asked it aloud.
Hearing his question, Xiaolin said, "They don't want to acknowledge us. My sister and I grew up in the countryside. After our grandparents passed away, we came to live with them. But they won't acknowledge us, so we've been living here all this time."
Xu Xiangyang was even more puzzled this time, "You can work and get food rations if you go back to the countryside, so why don't you go back?"
Life in the countryside is tough now, but it's not like people will starve to death.
Judging from Lin Daiyu's previous condition, she was probably on the verge of starving to death.
Xiaolin shook his head. "The captain won't accept us anymore. After all, he gave us a letter of introduction before and said we weren't coming back."
If they left then, others could have a bite more of the food; who would let them go back?
That's why they had no choice but to stay here and make a living.
Xu Xiangyang sighed, "You really are very filial. Even though they don't acknowledge you anymore, you can still be threatened."
Even if these parents don't have jobs, they're still much better off than Xiaolin and his sister; at least they have food to eat.
A pang of heartache flashed in Xiaolin's eyes as he heard what he said. Yes, they all denied it, yet she still felt soft-hearted.
Actually, they also have a pair of twin brothers, otherwise their parents wouldn't have disowned them.
Perhaps they don't have enough food for them at home, which is why they don't recognize them?
Xu Xiangyang clicked his tongue. Although he didn't know the reason, it wasn't a problem for two workers to support a family, so how could he abandon two people?
For someone like Xiaolin, finding a temporary job can add a few dollars to their household expenses each month.
Moreover, Lin Min is already a grown woman, and the dowry for finding a husband will be quite substantial.
"I don't care what difficulties you have, that's no reason for you to betray me." Xu Xiangyang couldn't allow such a thing to happen.
He was adamant that he wouldn't be allowed to stay there any longer.
Although Xiaolin felt it was a pity, she knew there was no turning back now.
"Okay, I understand." He looked a little disappointed and then lowered his head.
Seeing this, Xu Xiangyang added, "If you still want to cause trouble, I'll make you regret it. Don't think I'm easy to talk to, understand?"
He wouldn't threaten someone with their family, but he would make them regret their actions.
Xiaolin glanced at him, but seeing his calm expression, she dared not underestimate him.
"I understand," he replied, as if drawing all his strength from his body.
Xu Xiangyang withdrew his gaze and said calmly, "You can take your sister and leave."
Kobayashi had long anticipated this outcome, and he had even considered worse possibilities.
He turned around, opened the door, and went outside.
When Xiaolin found Linmin and finished speaking, she was met with a disappointed look from her younger sister.
Looking into her eyes, Xiaolin paused for a moment. "Xiaomin..."
"Brother!" Lin Min interrupted him, tears welling in her eyes. "I told you not to do these things, why didn't you listen? They didn't accept us three years ago, so they're no longer my family!"
She felt it wasn't worth sacrificing her life for such parents!
Because she had been convinced for three years that her brother was her only family member.
But Kobayashi actually did this for someone like that.
Her brother really disappointed her...
Xiao Lin panicked. He had just been soft-hearted for a moment. Besides, his parents had been very good to them before they had that twin brother.
But……
Everything has changed.
"Xiaomin, no matter what, they are still our parents." He couldn't bear it and wanted to persuade his sister.
"Parents?" Lin Min sneered. "You gave them the thousand yuan you saved up, didn't you? Go to them now and tell them you have nowhere to live. See if they'll take you in!"
Her words pierced Xiaolin's heart deeply, because Xiaolin knew that they wouldn't, and there was no need to ask.
