Chapter 560: Chapter 477: She is Not Worthy of You (5 More)
Leng Mochen nodded: "I know. I’ll talk to him! Have you eaten yet?"
Li Si smiled and said, "I have! I ate at Jin Yichen’s place, and that guy Zhuang Liqun was found too—he came with his wife and son!"
Leng Mochen hugged her, deliberating for half a day before saying, "Something happened in North City!"
Li Si hurriedly turned her head to look at him: "What happened? Could it be trouble with the factory relocation?"
"There was a fire at the factory complex last night! Fortunately, the fire was extinguished promptly, and there weren’t any major losses. But one worker on duty in the factory was burned, and now the situation has escalated quite a bit. The media and various parties have gotten involved!"
"Oh my god! Was it accidental or..." Fires are strictly prohibited in the factory area, and their products are cosmetics—fires shouldn’t happen that easily!
The mention of burns made Li Si’s skin crawl.
"It was intentional! The police investigated the scene and found evidence of arson. But don’t worry! I’ve already gathered some evidence!"
Li Si hesitated but eventually said what was on her mind: "I know you can handle it—I’m just wondering if it could be Qin Xin’s doing?"
After seeing how things unfolded with Long Wu and Su Meng, she deeply believed that if there were issues between a couple, they should talk things through and figure it out together.
Far better than burying things and guessing back and forth.
Qin Xin seems highly suspicious; she’s intent on getting revenge against Leng Mochen. Previously, she sought to collaborate with him, and now, failing to secure the partnership, she might resort to arson out of spite—it’s not impossible!
Leng Mochen rested his head on her shoulder, his deep laugh sounding in her ear: "I knew you’d think that! But there’s something I didn’t tell you before—Nie Xiuwei was in North City last time, and he was with Qin Xin!"
Li Si gave him a resentful glance: "Why didn’t you tell me earlier?"
It was so obvious—the two of them were undoubtedly joining forces against them.
"I wanted to handle everything and then let you know!" He affectionately ruffled her hair.
Li Si pointed at him in stern warning: "Don’t do that again next time! Did you hear me? At least let me know what’s going on!"
"Alright! I’ll tell you everything from now on!"
"So this whole thing is their scheming?"
Leng Mochen kissed her forehead: "Mm! Whatever their plans are, this time they’ll completely fail!"
The Jin Family
As soon as Su Ting arrived home, he used the excuse of drinking too much and having a headache to retreat to a guest room on the third floor to sleep. Su Jinxixi, feeling invisible as usual, went to the room next to his.
Jin Jiachao arranged for Zhuang Liqun and his family to stay in a room next to his own on the second floor.
After leaving Li Shuhua and Zhuang Yuxiang to rest in their room, he led Zhuang Liqun to the study to talk.
Tomorrow they were going to visit his sister’s grave, and before that, Jin Jiachao wanted to give Zhuang Liqun something.
Even if Zhuang Liqun decided never to come back to Beijing and continued living in Shandong with his adoptive parents, he would understand.
After all, over the years, it was the elderly couple’s love and effort that raised him.
The Jin Family values gratitude. From now on, they would treat each other as relatives and keep in contact.
Jin Yichen hadn’t been home for long when he was already annoyed enough to want to rub his forehead.
As he watched Su Zirui running around the living room, shouting loudly, he truly couldn’t stand it.
And then, the most irksome person—Lan Xue—appeared, carrying two cups of coffee: "Yichen! Have some coffee!"
Jin Yichen was utterly uninterested and quickly moved to the other side of the sofa: "Please behave yourself!"
Lan Xue paused elegantly with the coffee cups in her hands and then glanced up with a smile: "Yichen, after not seeing you for years, have you become distant with your little aunt? Is it because you’ve started dating?"
She continued, "Your girlfriend is pretty, but I don’t think she’s suitable for you! She isn’t a great match for you!"
That girl—Leng Ning—though beautiful and reportedly from a good family, she still felt she wasn’t a match for Yichen!
"Hmph!" Jin Yichen stood and cast a cold look at her: "Whether we’re suitable or not—it seems that’s hardly your place to say!"
Who did she think she was?
Nobody but a mistress who clawed her way up, yet she dared to throw her weight around here!
Just then, Jin Jiachao and Zhuang Liqun came downstairs after finishing their talk in the study. They caught wind of their conversation!
"Yichen! Go find Xiao Ning and ask when her father will have time!"
Jin Jiachao looked notably displeased; after today’s scene at the airport and during dinner, he wasn’t blind—how could he not see how disgraceful Su Ting’s wife had been?
It was no wonder Su Ting had accomplished nothing all these years; people often said one should marry someone capable and virtuous, but this woman was nothing less than a walking calamity, ready to humiliate him at any given moment!
Moreover, when he saw Su Ting this time, he found that the once upright man had turned into a drunken failure.
Over the years, the money he’d given him had been enough to achieve something significant.
And what did he do with it?
Indulged in indulgence, gambling, and partying nonstop.
Wine companions, wasted pleasures.
If it wasn’t for his deceased wife Su Ye, he would’ve long since taught Su Ting a lesson and kicked him out!
"Got it! Old man!"
The old man hadn’t explicitly spelled it out, but he still understood the purpose of the two families meeting—Jin Yichen strode off lightly to search for Leng Ning.
Those left behind saw Lan Xue’s manner change completely when faced with her family’s benefactor. She abandoned her earlier flippancy.
She cautiously gave a servile smile: "Brother-in-law! Don’t misunderstand—it was just a little joke with Yichen! Please don’t take it seriously!"
"Hmph! A joke? You have no sense of propriety! Do you even know who you are? You and Yichen are generations apart!"
Lan Xue’s face maintained her forced smile as she nodded: "I understand! It won’t happen again!"
Jin Jiachao stared coldly at her: "Keep your little schemes to yourself! Otherwise, I’ll show you what happens when you provoke me!"
Lan Xue sulkily stormed back to the guest room, only to find Su Ting wasn’t actually asleep.
Instead, he stood smoking by the window, lost in thought as he gazed outside.
"Why are you smoking in the room? Are you trying to suffocate me!" Lan Xue half-jokingly complained.
Su Ting glanced at her dismissively, a sneer curling on his lips: "Aren’t you the same? Stop pretending when you’re inside the room—it’s pointless!"
Lan Xue was a known heavy smoker when he first met her, and she only began cutting back after she gave birth.
But in Jin Jiachao’s house, she didn’t just adjust her behavior; she even faked this too—it irritated him to no end.
"Honey! Why would you say such things to me? I’m only looking out for you! Smoking so much is bad for your health!"
"Our Zirui is still so young! If something happened to you, what would we do, just the two of us?" Lan Xue moved closer, hugging his waist tightly.
Su Ting smirked and sneered: "Oh, is that so? If I really died one day, could you even sit still for a moment? With your looks and tricks, wouldn’t you have men lined up for miles?"
"But—hear me clearly—if you dare set your sights on my nephew, your death will come quickly! If I ever find out, I’ll kill you and then take my own life!"
The death of his sister left Yichen as her sole living bloodline, and under no circumstances could he let anyone make trouble for the boy.
At the airport today, he’d managed to suppress his anger; otherwise, he would’ve kicked that wretched woman halfway across the room!
What kind of garbage was she anyway? Pulling such stunts and throwing herself around—how shameless! (To be continued.
