Chapter 217 Infiltrating the Inside
And so, Lin Dahai successfully stayed in Lu Jianxi's house.
Although Lin Dahai was always on edge around Lu Jianxi, he was holding on by sheer willpower. He wouldn't be able to die in peace until Lu Jianxi fell.
There was a lot of grain in the house, as well as other good things that Lu Jianxi had robbed from other people's homes.
Despite his limited mobility, Lin Dahai insisted on boiling water for Lu Jianxi to wash his feet.
While Lu Jianxi was soaking his feet, Lin Dahai picked up Lu Jianxi's dirty clothes and said, "Jianxi, you're a leader now, so you should dress more properly when you go out. It's embarrassing to wear some shabby clothes out in public."
Lu Jianxi hummed in agreement, feeling that he should get himself a nice new outfit.
After pouring out the foot bath water, Lin Dahai said, "You must have been working hard all day. Let me give you a massage to help you relax."
Lu Jianxi thought he was very sensible: "The old man is quite good at serving people. If you had been like this earlier, I wouldn't have had to kick you out of the house."
Lin Dahai gritted his teeth and said, "I was ungrateful in the past. I know I was wrong. You are now the most successful person in our family. I will serve you willingly from now on."
Now that he's achieved success and fame, Lu Jianxi is just missing a sycophant like Lin Dahai by his side. Otherwise, what's the use of success and fame? Nobody praises him, so the pleasure derived from success and fame is greatly diminished.
Lu Jianxi had never found Lin Dahai so pleasing to the eye.
Seeing the injuries on Lu Jianxi's body, Lin Dahai rubbed them very gently without asking where they came from.
The atmosphere is so nice, how could you ask him something that would hurt his pride?
The next morning, Lin Dahai got up early and prepared the meal. After Lu Jianxi got up, he even held up his clothes to help Lu Jianxi put them on.
This treatment pleased Lu Jianxi greatly, and he even gave Lin Dahai a rare moment of kindness.
After Lu Jianxi left, Lin Dahai's expression changed instantly. He spat and said, "When you're in trouble, I'll throw rotten eggs at you! You heartless wolf cub, do you think I'm genuinely serving you? Take a piss and look in the mirror to see if you're even human!"
"Wait till I send you to the Western Paradise..."
At this point, Lin Dahai was stunned.
Why make things so complicated? Just use some pesticides or rat poison to kill this heartless bastard and be done with it.
He suppressed the thought as soon as it arose.
If he poisons someone to death, he'll have to pay with his life, which is really not worth it. He still wants to go home and live a good life with Zhang Cui.
After Lin Dahai finished eating, he went out.
He needed to find some books and make contact with that guy named Wang Dong to quickly bring down Lu Jianxi.
Lu Jianxi is unpredictable and might beat him up at any time when he gets home. He needs to get rid of him quickly so he can get a good night's sleep.
Lin Dahai was preoccupied with thoughts of his own and was filled with the rage to take down Lu Jianxi.
The dormitory-style building of the food factory.
Wei Yang and Wei Zhao were still trying to persuade Zhang Cui to go with them.
Zhang Cui was too stubborn; she couldn't give up her job and house, and still rejected the two of them.
This left the siblings feeling helpless.
Wei Yang should have set off back, but because of Lu Jianxi, he reluctantly decided to delay for a few more days.
"You said yesterday that the director's surname is Wang. Is his name Wang Changping?"
Wei Yang looked at her in surprise, "You know her?"
Wei Zhao nodded. "He went to the capital as a representative for a meeting last year. He came to my house. He and Lao Chen used to have some connections. Otherwise, I'll go find him and give it a try."
Wei Yang refused without even thinking.
"We can't go. Things are different now. If we cause any more trouble, it will be a loss."
Old Chen was once in a high position, but now he's fallen on hard times and everyone avoids him. What kind of good person could someone like Wang Changping be, who was able to climb up at this time?
Wei Zhao: "If she doesn't want to leave, then we'll just stay here and wait?"
Wei Yang said, "Let's wait two more days and see what Lin Dahai does."
If Lin Dahai doesn't take action, he'll have to resort to underhanded tactics. No matter what, he has to deal with Lu Jianxi.
After Wei Yang left, Wei Zhao took the tea he had sent to Zhang Cui's family and went out.
She once hosted Wang Changping at her home, and although Wei Yang said she couldn't go, she still wanted to give it a try.
Someone like Lu Jianxi isn't even a ripple in the huge waves he's created. If she goes to ask for help, it would be best if the other party would still help out of consideration for their past relationship. If not, then forget it.
Over the past few months, she has seen through people's hearts, and even if others don't help her, she won't be disappointed.
I wouldn't feel satisfied if I didn't make this trip.
However, I have to apologize to Zhang Cui, because these two boxes of tea were part of the betrothal gifts, and it's not right for her to take them without permission.
Wei Zhao found out where Wang Changping lived just as it was lunchtime.
She hadn't come specifically to eat, so she waited at the door for a while.
Seeing Wang Changping come out of the courtyard, she smiled and stepped forward, calling out, "Director Wang, it's been a long time."
Wang Changping recognized her at a glance, after all, she left a deep impression on him from the past.
Wei Zhao was young, beautiful, and knowledgeable. He had only seen that person once, but he still remembered him to this day.
But that person has already fallen, so why is she here?
"Xiao Wei, what brings you here? When did you arrive? It's been so long, I almost didn't recognize you."
Upon hearing the word "Little Wei," Wei Zhao thought to himself with amusement.
She remembered that when she met Wang Changping last year, he addressed her by her title, but now she was referred to as "Xiao Wei" in his words.
Wang Changping chuckled and said, "Come on, let's go inside and talk."
Once inside, Wei Zhao put down the tea leaves.
Wang Changping said, "You've come all this way, why bring any gifts? Last year when I visited your home, I came empty-handed, but I still remember the braised pork you made."
Wei Zhao didn't want to correct the fact that the braised pork was bought from a restaurant, and continued to reminisce with Wang Changping without changing his expression.
Upon hearing that Wei Zhao had already divorced, Wang Changping said, "If you have nowhere to go, stay in Yangcheng. I will take care of you and your four children. Old Chen made a mistake, but you still have to live your lives. Little Wei, you can treat me as someone you can trust. I will do my best to help you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Changping's hand got closer and closer to Wei Zhao's, almost touching it. Wei Zhao calmly picked up his teacup and said with a smile, "I know you're thinking of me, but my current status is special, and I'm afraid of implicating others."
She stood up with a smile, "I was just passing by and thought you were here, so I thought I'd drop by to see you. I'm happy to see you on your promotion. I know you must still have a lot of work to do, so I won't keep you any longer."
Wang Changping smiled and saw her out of the courtyard, staring at Wei Zhao's departing figure for a long time without coming back to his senses.
Although Wei Zhao had lost some of his former radiance when they met again this year, he still captivated him. What a pity…
Wei Zhao also felt sorry.
She regretted wasting two boxes of good tea.
She never imagined that the man who had chatted so happily with Old Chen at her home last year would harbor such filthy thoughts towards her.
Even if Wei Zhao falls on hard times, she will not eat the cowardly food from Wang Changping's family.
Back in the tenement building, Wei Zhao told Zhang Cui where the tea had gone.
"Auntie, I'm sorry I didn't tell you beforehand. It's a pity the things were sent out, but the matter wasn't settled."
Zhang Cui hurriedly said, "It's nothing. I know you're doing this for me. If it's useful, feel free to use it."
