Why would I want to meet someone I have no connection with?
“He’s your classmate. He was involved in what happened last night. If it weren’t for your sister-in-law’s good skills, she might have been injured by him.”
"You don't mean you want me to beat that kid up at the police station, do you?"
"Can't we at least ask him why he did that? He's clearly a student, yet he hangs out with the local hooligans and dared to persecute our sister-in-law last night. I really want to ask him face to face if he's got a death wish!"
"Li Dahai didn't know beforehand; he was dragged into it by others."
"Whether he was involved passively or not, he's no good to me! By the way, do you think that old woman surnamed Cui will be sent for reform? Before I came to this branch factory, I heard that her family background was extraordinary."
"Just wait, I'm sure the police station will inform my sister-in-law of the outcome."
"Second brother..."
"Speak your mind."
Qin Boyan glanced at Qin Yaxin.
Do you think what happened last night has anything to do with your sister-in-law's adoptive parents?
That couple was determined to marry her sister-in-law into the Qian family. Maybe her sister-in-law's adoptive parents knew about what that old woman surnamed Cui had done!
Why are you thinking so much?
Qin Boyan frowned and said, "That couple isn't stupid; they would never do something that harms themselves for the benefit of others. Besides, if that woman surnamed Cui could get my sister-in-law's adoptive parents to do that, why would she bother coming all this way here to participate herself?"
"That's true, I was overthinking it."
Qin Yaxin chuckled awkwardly, stood up, and said, "You go to sleep, I'll go back to my room now."
At the same time, in the capital city.
Luo Yueqin tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep, while Song Weiqiang, annoyed by the noise she was making, said, "If you're not going to sleep, go sit in the living room!"
"How can you sleep at a time like this?"
With a curt remark to her husband, Luo Yueqin sat up and casually pulled the man sleeping next to her: "Get up and talk to me for a while."
"What are you saying, staying up so late at night?!"
Song Weiqiang's tone was not good.
Are you genuinely unaware, or are you pretending?
Luo Yueqin leaned against the headboard, her brows furrowed with anxiety. She said, "What do you think about Deputy Factory Director Qian's situation? I heard his father-in-law has retired. For Deputy Factory Director Qian, this is equivalent to losing a powerful backer. I think he's probably going to fall from grace!"
If his affairs involve us…
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Song Weiqiang abruptly interrupted Luo Yueqin. He got up and sat down with his back against the headboard, his eyes filled with complex emotions. After looking at Luo Yueqin for a moment, he asked, "Do we have any dealings with Deputy Factory Director Qian in our work?"
Luo Yueqin shook her head.
"That settles it! Deputy Factory Director Qian must have made a mistake at work, and we have no conflict of interest with him at work, so what he did has nothing to do with us."
Song Weiqiang paused for a moment, and Fang Xu said, "It's alright, why are you so upset?"
"I was just thinking about how we kept urging Lanlan to divorce that Qin family boy because of the benefits Comrade Cui promised..."
Upon noticing Song Weiqiang's expression turn grim, Luo Yueqin stopped herself from saying anything more.
"Who knew the Qian family would offer us so many benefits?"
Song Weiqiang's face darkened: "If you don't want to cause trouble for yourself, you'd better not talk nonsense outside."
"But those rumors..."
Luo Yueqin was still filled with anxiety. She said haltingly, "Everyone probably thinks that we... forced Lanlan to divorce and remarry, and that she married... that stupid son of Deputy Factory Director Qian..."
Song Weiqiang remained silent.
"It's all Hu Chunniu's fault for having such a big mouth. She was hiding outside our gate that day, and she probably overheard us advising Lanlan to divorce her husband and remarry. Later, Lanlan fainted in the yard."
She personally carried Lanlan back to the villa area again. I suspect that most of the unpleasant rumors about our family came from Hu Chunniu's mouth.
Song Weiqiang: "So what? We are parents, and we want our daughter to have a good life. What's wrong with that?"
Luo Yueqin: "But Deputy Factory Director Qian's son is an idiot. What parent who truly loves their daughter would marry her off to someone like that? And those rumors about our family are practically saying we want to sell our daughter for personal gain. If someone with ulterior motives uses this to their advantage, we're in for a world of trouble..."
Luo Yueqin didn't say what happened next, but Song Weiqiang understood the unspoken meaning. He frowned and after a moment said, "It's just a rumor, there's no evidence. We don't need to be afraid."
Furthermore, I don't believe it's such a coincidence that someone would bring up that incident to target us.
Luo Yueqin: "What if Deputy Factory Director Qian and his wife confess themselves?"
"Can you stop scaring yourself?"
With a gloomy face, Song Weiqiang glanced at his wife, then turned his back to her and lay back on the bed, saying angrily, "If you like to cause trouble for yourself, go to the living room and do it yourself. Don't disturb my rest!"
"I'm just worried about our jobs, why are you taking it out on me?" Luo Yueqin felt wronged. "Jiaojiao wrote again asking for money and tickets. Give me a straight answer, are you going to send them or not?"
"The eldest daughter is getting married, and she'll need money coupons for many things. She's farming in the countryside, and she did leave without them. If I remember correctly, when you sent that letter home, you replied with a package..."
She once stuffed about twenty yuan and several coupons into a package, and now she's writing again asking for more money and coupons. Does she think her home is her piggy bank? She wants as much as she wants, and her family has to take out and send it to her. Who spoiled her like this?
Thinking of Song Jiaojiao, Song Weiqiang couldn't help but think of Song Lan, and suddenly felt how much better it would have been if he hadn't recognized Song Jiaojiao when she came to visit.
Despite growing up in the countryside, he is completely immature. At home, he is always asking for money, and even when he goes to the countryside, he still constantly asks his family for money. He is not likable at all, but rather like a debt collector!
Did she mention in her letter how far things had progressed with Dongze?
"It wasn't mentioned, but Lanlan was mentioned."
Why did she mention Lanlan?
"She said Lanlan wants to get back together with Dongze."
"impossible!"
Song Weiqiang didn't believe it.
"I also think it's impossible. If Lanlan really wanted to get back together with Dongze, why wouldn't she divorce that Qin family boy?! I think it's more likely that Dongze has regretted his decision and wants to win Lanlan back..."
"Possibly. Jiaojiao probably spoke ill of Lanlan in the letter out of jealousy..."
Song Weiqiang sighed, "But Lanlan's personality has changed. If she were still the same as before, Dongze might have gotten his way. But Lanlan has become someone who won't even listen to us anymore."
Clearly, she's very opinionated now. Given Dongze's past behavior, the chances of Lanlan changing her mind and choosing to divorce him and get back together are slim!
"Does that mean Jiaojiao has no chance?"
Luo Yueqin felt a deep sense of regret.
