Xu Ruping is always aloof and arrogant, so how could she possibly take action herself? The people she saw on the first day were from the Longwen Garment Factory, and it cannot be confirmed that Xu Ruping was the one who ordered them.
Chu Yi, being slow-witted, didn't send anyone to investigate that person further, and simply reported back to Lu Wanqing.
If it weren't for the fact that he had a life on his hands and naturally intimidated others, we wouldn't need a bodyguard like that.
"Mr. Lu, then I'll continue to follow up." Chu Yi, that simpleton, knew he hadn't done a good job and volunteered.
Lu Wanqing sighed:
"Forget it, I'll handle this myself."
She still called Huo Xiao and asked him to take the time to investigate the matter thoroughly.
Before Huo Xiao could report to her, Lin Xiaocui found her that very evening.
Seeing Lin Xiaocui's solemn expression, Lu Wanqing thought something serious had happened to her, and quickly said:
"Is there a problem with your restaurant? If you're having any difficulties, be sure to tell me, and I'll try my best to help you."
Lin Xiaocui suddenly knelt on the ground, stubbornly holding back her tears, and said:
“Sister-in-law, I was wrong. I shouldn’t have interfered with my mother when she came to Beijing. Today I found out that she had gotten together with Xu Ruping and even helped her incite workers to strike and cause trouble.”
Lu Wanqing then realized that the troublemakers were indeed instigated by Xu Ruping, and that Wang Xiuqin was also involved.
But she knew in her heart that this matter had nothing to do with Lin Xiaocui.
Wang Xiuqin was so cunning that even if Lin Xiaocui tried her best to stop her, it wouldn't stop her from having a belly full of bad ideas.
"Xiaocui, don't blame yourself. Get up quickly. What kind of behavior is it to kneel down like this?" Lu Wanqing quickly pulled her up.
Hearing the commotion, Lin Ye and Zhao Xiaolan came over and, seeing her unprecedentedly helpless expression, comforted her.
“Xiaocui, you are you, and your mother is your mother. We all know what's going on. Last time you tried to harm the three children, you ended up in the police station. Haven't you learned your lesson?”
"This time your mother went even further. The factory is related to the livelihoods of hundreds of people, and her interference has had a huge impact." Zhao Xiaolan frowned, her anger rising at the mention of Wang Xiuqin.
Those distant memories of being treated as a servant by Wang Xiuqin when she was delirious were brought back to her mind.
Knowing she couldn't influence Wang Xiuqin or sever the blood ties between them, Lin Xiaocui grasped Lu Wanqing's hand and resolutely said:
"Sister-in-law, Han Lei has a chance to go to Hong Kong for an exchange program that will last for two years. We were both a little hesitant about whether to go, but now we don't have to hesitate anymore. I will temporarily hand over the restaurant to a friend to help manage, and then go to Hong Kong with him."
Perfect timing, I can also take some culinary courses there.
As for my mother's matter, don't worry about me; just do what needs to be done.
Hearing this, everyone felt a mix of emotions. Going to Hong Kong wasn't necessarily a bad thing, but being forced to go because of his bastard mother was a different story.
"Okay, I'll keep an eye on the restaurant for you, so don't worry. When you're out there, you and Han Lei must support each other, and if you encounter any difficulties, be sure to let us know."
Lu Wanqing knew that once Lin Xiaocui made a decision, she wouldn't easily change it, so she decided to offer her blessings.
When Lin Ye and Zhao Xiaolan heard that she was leaving, they were also reluctant to see her go, and they busied themselves helping her pack her things.
A trip that lasts two years is not a simple business trip, so it's best to bring more clothes and other everyday items.
Lin Xiaocui suddenly smiled optimistically.
"It's okay. After so many years of wandering around, I'm used to being on the go. I believe I'll adapt to life there soon."
Speaking of this, she recalled how she went from being a delivery girl to being admitted to a university in Beijing, and now she can go to Hong Kong for exchange and study as a successful person. She felt both sad and proud.
Soon, Lin Xiaocui and Han Lei boarded a flight to the port city.
Lu Wanqing, Lin Ye, Zhao Xiaolan, and Lin Chunhua all came to the airport to see her off.
On Han Lei's side, Wei Shufen and Han Dongfeng, as well as Luo Chunlei and Han Xue, also took time to come to the airport.
After seeing the person off, Wei Shufen wiped away her tears and greeted Lu Wanqing.
"Wanqing, when are you coming over for dinner? It's been so long since I've seen you."
Since Wei Shufen experienced the fraud incident, she has shown significantly more gratitude and respect towards Lu Wanqing.
Family gatherings are always filled with joy and harmony.
However, after Xu Ruping was recognized as Han Dongsheng's biological daughter, the atmosphere at home plummeted, and they never had a meal together again.
Zhao Xiaolan was too lazy to go back, so Lu Wanqing naturally stood with her mother-in-law.
“Aunt, as you know, Xu Ruping and I are competitors in the industry. We didn’t want to make things too difficult for Dad, so we simply didn’t go back to the Han family.” Lu Wanqing didn’t shy away from mentioning this.
Wei Shufen's face darkened, and she raised her voice, speaking angrily:
"Don't even mention you, I can't stand it anymore. Just who is that girl? The old lady is really giving in to her unconditionally."
Yesterday, I got some bird's nest from a friend. I didn't even want to eat it myself, but I wanted to give it to my mother. In the end, she gave all the bird's nest to that girl and asked my maid to cook it for her.
"It's infuriating! We have two sons and a daughter, and we never receive the same treatment as her!"
Lu Wanqing didn't know how to respond to her. The old lady's favoritism wasn't something that had just started.
She used to favor herself!
Perhaps it's because she favors Han Dongsheng, and now that Xu Ruping is his only child, she seems so precious.
She didn't reply. Han Dongfeng, standing to the side, pulled Wei Shufen's hand and said with dissatisfaction:
"Alright, stop talking. What's the point of saying all this?"
"What, can't we even say anything? Dongfeng, you should also advise your mother and brother not to give in to that brat's every whim. Judging from her personality, she doesn't resemble a member of the Han family at all; she might even be an imposter..."
Wei Shufen was still rambling on when Han Dongfeng pulled her away.
Finally, all I heard her say was, "Come back when you have time, let's get together."
Lu Wanqing raised an eyebrow, forced a smile, and waved to her.
"Mom, let's go back." She took Zhao Xiaolan's arm and walked out of the airport.
A Santana was parked on the side of the road.
That was a car Lu Wanqing bought for her family; it cost 220,000 yuan, including the car itself and the license plate.
Lin Ye inserted the key, started the engine, but Zhao Xiaolan's expression suddenly changed, and she said to him:
"Go to the Han family."
"Mom, have you thought it through and want to go back to live here?" Lu Wanqing asked hurriedly.
Zhao Xiaolan said solemnly:
"No, I'm going to divorce him. Wanqing, you don't need to worry about me when you want to deal with Xu Ruping. I'll sever all ties with the Han family, and then you can have no worries."
Lu Wanqing wanted to advise her that there was no need to do this, but she didn't say it out loud.
She also really wanted to know Han Dongsheng's attitude!
