"Cough cough"
Grandma Huang coughed lightly to remind the old man that he should give Lin Erwu some face in front of the two younger generation, and not say such unpleasant things.
"I'm not going to say anything more."
"I'm back~" Lin Xiaobao happened to be back at this time, and the two elders of the Huang family stared at him curiously.
Seeing the two elderly people suddenly appear in the house, Lin Xiaobao still politely greeted them, "Hello, Grandpa and Grandma!"
"This is... Jiang Jingzhou's younger brother? But according to what they know, their grandson-in-law doesn't have any brothers!"
"This is my younger brother, Xiao Bao."
Lin Zhaoyue introduced Xiaobao to her maternal grandparents in a very generous manner.
It was only then that they realized Xiao Bao's identity.
Grandma Huang's expression suddenly changed. "Hmph, your father's judgment was only good when he was looking for your mother. Later, I don't know how, he went blind and started bringing all sorts of shady people home. Luckily, that woman didn't do anything to you, otherwise your grandfather and I would never have let Lin Erwu off the hook!"
Lin Xiaobao recognized that they were her older sister's maternal grandparents, and she called them "grandpa and grandma" along with her sister.
"Hmph, we only have one daughter, and she gave us a granddaughter. I don't remember having any grandchildren. Don't go around shouting nonsense." Old Master Huang waved his hand dismissively, not even bothering to acknowledge Xiao Bao. He thought Xiao Bao was dirty just by looking at him.
"Xiao Bao, go back to your room and do your homework, okay?"
"Okay, okay." Xiao Bao greeted her grandparents warmly. "Grandpa and Grandma, I'm going back to my room to do my homework. You two can chat with my sister here."
"Such a big kid and he's already so shameless. Looks like he's no better than his mother! Zhaoyue, why did you bring him to your in-laws' house? Shouldn't he be in the countryside with your father right now?" Old Master Huang asked.
"Yes, Xiao Bao did stay with my dad in the countryside at first, but the teaching quality there was too poor. Xiao Bao's academic performance has always been excellent. If he had gone to school there, his abilities might have been wasted."
Lin Zhaoyue smiled faintly, "Grandpa and Grandma, I know you don't like Xiaobao, but he and I are, after all, half-sisters. He has called me 'sister' for so many years. Although he is younger than me, he will always stand up to protect me when something happens!"
"..." Old Master Huang and the others didn't mean anything by it; they just simply didn't like Lin Xiaobao.
He waved his hand and said, "Anyway, you have to be careful in everything you do, and you must never let someone scheme against you in the future."
"Yes, I will."
"..." After the Huang family elders returned, Hua Xiuyun asked the nanny to take the two children back to their rooms to rest, so that Zhaoyue wouldn't get tired here.
[The plot is getting a bit boring, what should we do? Where did the female and male leads go?]
[Is the author going to change the male and female leads?!]
I think the current plot is quite interesting; to each their own.
Who exactly framed the young lady's father? There's not a single clue!
"..." Suddenly, the comments section shifted to a key topic, and Lin Zhaoyue suddenly became serious.
Bai Jie
Immediately afterwards,
Lin Zhaoyue was very familiar with the name that appeared in the comments.
But why did she end up in the village where her father was sent down to?
Now that we have the results, we can just go find Bai Jie.
Thinking this through, Lin Zhaoyue explained the situation to Jiang Jingzhou, and the man immediately made the arrangements.
The most important thing right now is to find the person as soon as possible to prevent Bai Jie from striking again.
However, finding the person was like looking for a needle in a haystack. After searching for nearly half a month, they hadn't even seen a trace of him.
Lin Zhaoyue was stumped again!
During these two weeks, no comments appeared.
When Ren Zhaodi came knocking, the comments section opened again—
Wow, the female lead seems different now! The confidence she exudes is simply captivating.
[The female lead is the female lead after all; she has the female lead's halo. This proves that as long as women don't get blinded by romance, their abilities aren't necessarily inferior to men's.]
[I agree with what the lady upstairs said (σ≧?▽?≦?)σ.]
Actually, I quite enjoy watching the female lead and the rich girl team up; they're not suited to be rivals.
"I know where Bai Jie is."
The moment Ren Zhaodi spoke to Lin Zhaoyue upon their first meeting, she knew what Lin Zhaoyue wanted to know.
"Where?"
"There's a saying that goes, the most dangerous place is often the safest place. Bai Jie lives in the village where your father was sent down to the countryside," Ren Zhaodi said casually. "Besides this matter, I came to see you this time to discuss a business partnership. I wonder if you'd be interested!"
"You've done me such a big favor, so tell me! What kind of business do you want to discuss with me?"
After saying that, Lin Zhaoyue paused and reminded Ren Zhaodi, "If you are short of funds, my ability is also limited. I can't give you all my savings. Besides, this money doesn't belong to me alone."
"Who wants your money!"
Ren Zhaodi suddenly leaned closer and lowered her voice, "I heard that the new drug your institute has developed hasn't been launched yet. Aren't you interested in selling it to me directly? Or perhaps I could act as its agent?"
"I'm only in charge of research and development, and besides, I wasn't involved in this project at all. You might as well ask me for a loan." Lin Zhaoyue couldn't do that; Ren Zhaodi was simply putting her in a difficult position.
"I'm doing this to make money, and don't worry, you'll definitely get your share after it's done. We'll split the profits in half, what do you say?"
Ren Zhaodi said confidently, "I admit that I did hurt you before, but it was for Fang Leiluo. Now that we are divorced, I think we can still be friends! When the drugs your institute develops are launched, the company will keep lowering the price, and you will receive less funding. But I will not lower the price; I will pay what I owe you! Moreover, everything I do is through legitimate channels, so you can rest assured."
I absolutely love watching stories featuring strong, career-driven female leads!!
[The young lady should have agreed immediately; our heroine is destined to be among the richest people in the country.]
That's right, who says historical romance novels only involve marrying a man and getting rich? You can get rich without getting married!
[...]
Lin Zhaoyue looked Ren Zhaodi up and down, and knew from the comments that what she said was true.
Aren't you afraid that any problems might arise later in our cooperation?
"No matter who you cooperate with, all sorts of problems may arise, and these are unavoidable. If problems occur, then we will solve them. But you can rest assured that you will definitely not be shortchanged in terms of money!"
"..."
