"Sister Yang, let me tell you..." Xia Lan glanced at Yang Caimei and then told her about it.
Yang Caimei's eyes lit up. She thought Xia Lan wouldn't tell her, but she took the initiative to tell her.
After hearing Xia Lan's words, Yang Caimei frowned. "The person you're talking about, could it be the son of Deputy Factory Director Luo, named... Luo Tianming?"
"Sister Yang, do you know?" Xia Lan looked at Yang Caimei curiously, not expecting her to know about Luo Tianming.
"Was the leader who just came over carrying things named Li Jianmin?"
"You know that too?" Xia Lan's eyes widened.
“Hey, your factory manager is my man. Do you remember my man’s name?” Yang Caimei winked at Xia Lan.
Xia Lan thought for a moment, and it seemed to be called...
"Li Jianguo?"
“That Li Jianmin is my husband’s cousin, so when I looked at him just now… he looked familiar,” Yang Caimei explained to Xia Lan.
"What a coincidence?" Xia Lan asked in surprise.
"Isn't this just such a coincidence?" Yang Caimei patted her leg and laughed.
"What a small world," Xia Lan said with a smile.
"There's another person you mentioned that I know too," Yang Caimei said, glancing at Xia Lan with a mysterious smile.
"You don't mean Minister Yang, do you? You both have the surname Yang..." Xia Lan thought for a moment and guessed.
“That’s my younger brother,” Yang Caimei said with a smile.
"My dear."
"..." Xia Lan now truly felt that the world was a small place.
Her boss is Yang Caimei's younger brother? And the factory director... isn't he Minister Yang's brother-in-law?
"This really scared me!" Xia Lan couldn't help but look Yang Caimei up and down.
Yang Caimei waved her hand dismissively.
"You think the city is big, but actually everyone who gets into the factory has connections!"
“If it weren’t for Deputy Factory Director Luo’s family, I wouldn’t have chosen to move back here!” Mei Caimei said. “You have no idea how heartbreaking it is for that family to raise their child.”
“Raising a cat or dog is more free than raising a son. His mother always says ‘we’re doing this for you,’ and she uses this phrase to force him to admit his mistakes whenever he does something wrong.”
"I just couldn't stand it anymore. It's noisy every day, and my husband, Mr. Li, can't sleep well, so we simply moved here! It's a bit out of the way, but it's quiet!"
Mei Caimei patted Xia Lan and smiled.
Looking at Mei Caimei, another person came to Xia Lan's mind. Her smile was very similar to Yang Caimei's. Xia Lan asked tentatively.
"Do you have a sister who also works at a department store? In the deli section?"
"What? You still know my sister?" Yang Caimei knew immediately who Xia Lan was talking about.
Xia Lan suddenly understood why Sister Mei could act so arrogantly in the factory and why no one dared to mess with her.
The factory manager is her brother-in-law, the head chef is her husband, and Minister Yang is her younger brother…
She's the real winner in life.
"...Sister Yang has taken good care of me," Xia Lan said with a smile.
"You really are something, you seem to have a special connection with our whole family!" Yang Caimei said with a smile.
“That’s my older sister, Yang Caijing. If it weren’t for her help, my husband wouldn’t have been able to get a job at the factory back then.”
"My brother-in-law got into the factory first and brought my sister in with him. My sister helped us out and got my husband in. Then my husband brought my brother into the factory," Yang Caimei said to Xia Lan with a smile.
"Your family has such a good relationship," Xia Lan said with a smile.
"Haha, that's really great!" Yang Caimei said happily. "And you have a special connection with our family! You even rented my house and you're also my brother's subordinate."
"It's a pity you're married, otherwise I would definitely arrange for you to meet my son," Yang Caimei said regretfully.
Xia Lan doesn't look like she came from the village; she's pretty and always has an elegant demeanor.
She's just as good as the girls in the city.
It's a pity she got married, otherwise she would definitely have introduced her to someone else.
"No need, she has me, that's enough." A male voice rang out behind the two of them, startling Xia Lan and Yang Caimei. They turned around and saw Qin Yu carrying groceries, giving Yang Caimei a displeased look.
"Brother Yu, why are you back at this time?" Xia Lan asked in surprise.
"I was afraid you'd be hungry at noon, so I rushed back to cook for you." Qin Yu domineeringly took Xia Lan's hand and headed home, not forgetting to turn back and glare at Yang Caimei.
Watching Qin Yu and Xia Lan's retreating figures, Yang Caimei felt guilty and hurried home.
Back home, Qin Yu pinned Xia Lan against the door.
"Brother Yu, Sister Yang was just joking..." Xia Lan looked at Qin Yu, whose expression was unfriendly, and stared at him innocently.
"Then why didn't you refuse?" Qin Yu's eyes flashed with ruthlessness as he bit Xia Lan's lips.
"I... I didn't even have a chance to... say anything before you came back." Xia Lan said innocently, unable to speak properly because Qin Yu was biting her lip, so she stuck out her tongue and licked him affectionately.
Qin Yu was taken aback by her initiative. Xia Lan quickly withdrew the corner of her lip that he had bitten and explained to him.
Although she hadn't caught anything, Qin Yu was still very unhappy when she heard that someone wanted to introduce her to a man.
"I'll go cook for you." Qin Yu released Xia Lan, his face expressionless as he carried the food back to the kitchen.
The kitchen echoed with the heavy clatter of knives being chopped and slashed, as if someone was deliberately venting their anger by chopping on the cutting board.
"Duoduoduoduo!"
Xia Lan walked to the edge of the kitchen, and the noise inside immediately subsided.
Xia Lan turned around to pour him a glass of water, and the noise from the kitchen immediately became much louder.
Xia Lan, returning with the water, looked at the man who exuded a dark aura...
What to do? She wanted to laugh.
"Brother Yu." Xia Lan walked up behind Qin Yu with a water glass and gently wrapped her arms around his waist.
"I poured you some water. You must be thirsty after all that trouble you came back."
“…Hmm.” Qin Yu glanced at Xia Lan out of the corner of his eye and responded with a haughty air.
"My hands are dirty."
"Then... shall I feed you?" Xia Lan asked sweetly, blinking her eyes expectantly at him.
"...Hmm." Qin Yu hummed softly, but bent down in response.
Xia Lan served Qin Yu water until there wasn't a single drop left in his cup, then she took the cup away.
"Are you still thirsty?" she asked, looking at Qin Yu.
Qin Yu stood up and nodded reservedly. "Mm."
"Then I'll go get you another one." Xia Lan hurriedly ran into the room with the water glass.
Qin Yu glanced at Xia Lan's retreating figure, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, his eyes no longer showing the fierceness they had just displayed.
When he saw Xia Lan return, he quickly wiped the smile off his face and lowered his head to chop vegetables carefully.
Xia Lan was right next to Qin Yu and wanted to help him wash the vegetables, but Qin Yu refused, only asking her to stand beside him and keep him company.
Bored, Xia Lan told Qin Yu about her conversation with Yang Caimei. Qin Yu listened and glanced at Xia Lan.
"Li Jianmin came by?"
"Yes, they also left behind a bunch of gifts."
Xia Lan nodded.
