Chapter 128: Hurtful
Bei Bei watched with great pleasure, just short of clapping her hands in approval.
Gan Wenyu and Zhang Ruxin kept out of the way and slunk off.
After they left, Bei Bei couldn’t help but laugh out loud. “I think Gu Shuyue doesn’t want to see you anymore. Gosh, didn’t get her makeup set. Look at how ashamed and furious she is. I’m dying of laughter.”
“Her psychological endurance is a little weak. Just this and she can’t take it anymore? Doesn’t want to see me?” Lin Gantang shook her head. “That won’t do. Experience it a few more times and improve her ability to resist attacks.”
Bei Bei laughed so hard that she wiped away her tears.
“Miss, do you still want this bag?” The sales assistant was indeed a gold medal sales assistant who was used to seeing fights. She calmly went forward to serve her.
“Yes, I do. Pack it up.” Lin Gantang let Bei Bei continue to pick her bag while she sat down and turned on her phone.
Zhang Ruxin’s earlier words served as a reminder to her; after her brother started handling the money, did he give her pocket money for the past two months?
Lin Gantang logged into the bank app and checked the details.
Fortunately, Lin Zhaonan did not forget that he had a younger sister.
Lin Gantang was elated and sent a message. “I can already earn money. Brother, you don’t have to give me pocket money.”
Not long after, she received Lin Zhaonan’s cold-blooded reply. “Earn money? Has your bookstore not calculated the profits and losses for this month? Otherwise, why would you say such arrogant words?”
It hurt.
Hence, the two of them walked back. Lin Gantang swiped this secondary card and then ruthlessly withdrew a sum of money to deposit on her phone.
After shopping, Bei Bei followed her to the bookstore to get some books. Lin Gantang asked her to go upstairs to browse through the books while she sat down to rest.
Lin Zhaonan’s message popped up on her phone.
“I received a notification to withdraw cash from your bank card. Please note the direction of your consumption. I will check it in future.”
Lin Gantang was speechless.
Lin Gantang angrily tapped her phone’s keyboard. “Dad never asked about this before!”
“I’m not your dad; I’m your brother.”
Lin Gantang planned to return the supplementary card to her father in grievance and let him see how her brother bullied her.
As for the black card… It was good to use it to smack faces. What if she didn’t want to return it?
Lin Gantang called Ye Qiuqiu and asked, “If both your dad and boyfriend want you to spend money, would you choose to spend your dad’s money or your boyfriend’s money?”
Ye Qiuqiu replied: “I don’t have such problems. I’m more skilled. I spend money from the bank and take loans. *Smile* *Smile* *Smile*”
At night, she returned home.
Lin Gantang called out to Mr. Lin, who was about to take a walk, and said that she had something to say.
Coincidentally, Lin Zhaonan had returned home, so she told him about it together.
She roughly repeated what Zhang Ruxin said today and said, “Who handles money is our Lin family’s private matter. Why is it that outsiders know so clearly about our family matters now? They even know that my pocket money is given by my brother.”
Mr. Lin was very concerned after hearing that.
It was still alright to only reveal this bit of privacy now, but he was afraid that everything would be leaked in the future.
He would often discuss company matters with Lin Zhaonan in the study. If someone accidentally found out the company’s secrets, how much would the company lose?
“Could it be one of the servants at home?” The family wouldn’t talk about family matters outside. Apart from that, there were only the servants left, Lin Gantang guessed.
“I’ll find the party,” Lin Zhaonan said.
“I’ll do it. You settle your things.” Mr. Lin took over the matter.
Mr. Lin was a dignified person at home. With his experience, he could tell who was lying.
All the servants were questioned. In the end, Auntie Tao, who bought groceries, admitted that she had mentioned it to people outside.
Auntie Tao liked to gossip, but had a bad sense of propriety. She treated her employer’s matter as a joke.
Mr. Lin fired Auntie Tao. There were too many people and too many eyes. He kept Butler Lu and Auntie Zhang, as well as Uncle Rong, the gardener, and Xiaofu, who cleaned the house. The rest were all fired.
“I’ll hire a nanny after Tongtong delivers the baby. It’s fine as long as there are enough helpers at home. I didn’t think it mattered in the past, but now that I think about it, it’s good to have some peace and quiet,” Mr. Lin said..
