Chapter 104 Chapter 104 After Xia Li walked out of the office...
After Charlie walked out of the office, she happened to see two people peeking in their office. It was really obvious how sneaky they were!
When Wang Yiling saw that Xia Li had discovered them, she quickly waved at her, wanting her to come over.
"What's the matter?" Charlie walked over, leaned against the wall, and asked deliberately.
Wang Yiling called out "Sister Xia Li" in a coquettish manner, then looked in the direction of Director Wen's office and asked her what was going on with the people inside.
Xia Li didn't hide it. "Who knows what they came here for, but I have a feeling it's nothing good." She patted Wang Yiling's shoulder and smiled kindly. "Hey! Ah Ling, can you do me a favor? Bring some tea inside for me. I need to talk to the factory manager about this. Please."
Wang Yiling nodded. "Okay, Sister Xia Li, then you should tell Director Wen right away. They're here with ill intentions. We want our director to avoid any setbacks."
Zhao Weixin, who was standing nearby, quickly said, "Yes, Sister Xia Li, then you should go quickly!"
Charlie thanked her and said, "Then I'll leave it to you two!"
In Wenying's office, He's mother was sitting on the sofa by the window waiting, while her son He Biyuan was standing by the window looking at the scenery outside, staring blankly.
The middle-aged woman who came with him walked around the room, looked at the women's coats and scarves hanging on the hangers, reached out to touch the fabric of the clothes, and then couldn't help smacking her lips.
After a while, she walked over to Wenying's desk again, looked at the things on it, and just as she was about to reach out to take them, she heard a stern stop from inside the room, which scared her so much that she quickly withdrew her hand.
"Don't touch her things!"
It turned out that He Biyuan, who was standing by the window, turned around and stopped her with a serious face.
He was a grown man, but the expression on his face was very ugly at this moment. Mother He was shocked by her son's appearance. She had never seen her son so angry. He had always been a very gentle person since he was a child.
At this moment, she quickly called over to her younger sister standing over there, "Jianli, come over and sit for a while. What are you doing in front of someone's desk?"
Guo Jianli was frightened by her nephew's shout. She didn't know why He Biyuan was so angry. But since he was in a bad mood, she wouldn't offend him.
Avoiding her nephew's staring gaze that seemed like surveillance, she carefully walked to sit next to her sister, but she couldn't help complaining in her heart: If you don't allow me to touch it, then don't touch it. Why are you making such a loud noise? People who don't know would think this is your office!
When Wang Yiling came in with her tea, she saw three people standing and sitting in the office. She thought the atmosphere was strange; no one was talking. She had been thinking about getting some information, but now she didn't want to stay any longer. She put down her tea and hurried out.
Over there, Xia Li returned to the small conference room where they were still discussing things. Xia Li walked over to Wen Ying and briefly explained the situation to her.
Wen Ying was stunned for a moment, very surprised, but she told Xia Li not to worry about it for now and wait until things here were over.
After the meeting, everyone else left first, but Wen Ying still sat in her original seat and sorted out her things.
She asked Charlie, "Did they say what they came for?"
Charlie shook her head. "They didn't say that, but I'm afraid they really are here with bad intentions. There's also a middle-aged woman who's been fanning the flames."
Wen Ying's face was not in good spirits. She knew without even looking who the woman Xia Li was talking about was. It was her mother-in-law's younger sister. She had met her several times at home before, but because she didn't like her aunt's way of dealing with people, she always kept her distance.
Xia Li asked worriedly, "Director, do you want me to find an excuse to send them away first?"
Wen Ying remained motionless, her brows lowered, staring blankly at the notebook in her hands. Afterward, she pinched her brows, seemingly weary, and waved at Xia Li, "That's it!"
Xia Li felt very distressed. She saw Wen Ying sigh deeply, then stand up and walk out with a heavy look on her face that she herself might not have noticed.
Charlie quickly packed up her things and followed. Why did she always feel that something big was going to happen today?
Wenying's office was still quiet. He Biyuan's aunt, Guo Jianli, sat beside He's mother, wanting to say something, but she opened her mouth several times and then closed it again. Despite this, she continued to make eye contact with her sister, muttering something silently, as if it were a comedic performance.
At this moment, Xia Li pushed the door open and came in. She stood at the door, waiting for Wen Ying to come in slowly from behind.
He Biyuan heard the noise and turned from the window to see his wife, whom he hadn't seen in a long time. She walked in, dressed in a smart yet elegant suit. She looked completely different from her usual image at home, so unfamiliar. In this moment, he felt his wife with an unparalleled realness, a feeling he had never truly known.
After realizing this, in an instant, the feelings of inferiority and shame that followed swept over him, making him dare not look anymore and he could only turn sideways in a hurry.
After Wen Ying came into the office, the first thing she did was to explain to her current nominal mother-in-law, Mother He, who was sitting on the sofa, why she did not come in time.
Then she glanced at He Biyuan, but He Biyuan turned his head away and didn't look at her. Wen Ying didn't say anything, and then called out "Auntie" again.
When He's mother saw Wenying at work, she felt quite unfamiliar. After all, her daughter-in-law was a virtuous and gentle woman at home, so she was a little uncomfortable at first.
But no matter what, she is his daughter-in-law. Thinking of this, He's mother said earnestly: "Wenying, we came here today to see how you are doing recently. You see, the weather is getting colder. If you don't go home, you will..." How can we do that? He's mother swallowed the last few words because she noticed that the girl she had seen before was still in this room and had not left.
She murmured in her heart, why is he so tactless, but she smiled kindly, "Girl, go out and wait first, our family will chat about some family matters now."
After hearing what He's mother said, Xia Li did nothing. She glanced at Wen Ying, who nodded slightly. Then Xia Li closed the door and went out.
After she went out, she didn't go far. She just waited at the door. Even if someone wanted to see what was going on, they had to go past her.
Liu Fen was still holding a cup in her hand. She stood up and walked to the door under the pretext of getting some water. Seeing Xia Li standing by the window at the door like a door god, she curled her lips and returned to her seat in boredom.
There were no outsiders in Wenying's office at this time, so He's mother simply opened up and asked, "Wenying, what have you been dissatisfied with recently? How can you, as someone else's daughter-in-law, stay away from home all the time? If there is any problem, let's talk about it so that we can solve it! Are you dissatisfied with our Ayuan? He is such an obedient child. I quit my previous job to give you a better life. There are so many businesses now, some make money and some lose money. Our Ayuan is just unlucky. He will definitely make money next time. People should not be so vain!"
He Biyuan never thought that his mother would bring up this matter again. He shouted in shame and anger, "Mom! Stop talking!" He looked at Wen Ying apologetically.
Guo Jianli, who was standing by, also kept adding fuel to the fire, even directly blaming Wen Ying, saying, "Ayuan's current situation is all because of Wen Ying. How could a woman like her be so capable? Being an engineer wasn't enough, she became a leader, and now she's even become a factory director. How can you let your man live? Let me see, it's all because of her. If she had put more effort into her work, the children would be running around right now."
He's mother originally thought that what her sister said seemed a bit out of line, and was about to remind her. Wenying was her daughter-in-law after all, so she could speak, but what about other people's opinions? However, after hearing the last part, she fell silent. She said to Wenying: "Although your aunt's words are unpleasant, they do make sense. We always hope that you can be well."
Wen Ying's heart ached, and a faint sneer crossed her calm face. Without even looking at He's mother and Guo Jianli, she looked directly at He Biyuan standing by the window and said, "He Biyuan, we've been married for so long. I don't care what your mother and your aunt say. I just want to know what you really think."
He Biyuan was also reminded of the painful memories of the past. He was in agony, wondering how the two of them had ended up like this. When they got married, everyone said they were a perfect match. Although Wen Ying didn't express it much, he understood that she wanted to live a good life with him. How could his marriage have come to this?
He squatted on the ground with his head in his hands, making a hoarse sound of pain. Mother He was shocked by her son's reaction and quickly stood up to support him.
Upon seeing this, Guo Jianli stood up and started cursing, "Look at how you behave as a wife. You've forced her into this state. You're living a good life, but you don't even go home. Is this how you, Wenying, are brought up? Did your parents teach you this?"
She pointed her finger at Wen Ying and started to curse at her loudly. Xia Li, who was outside, heard the noise suddenly get louder and more chaotic inside. She pushed the door open and came in to see this infuriating scene.
