Old Hong informed Ye Fei immediately when Su Xiaofeng was taken away by the relevant personnel.
"Grandpa." Ye Fei pushed open the gate of the courtyard and saw his grandfather tending to a few little monsters under the floral trellis—several scorpions.
At his voice, the scorpions moved their bodies in dissatisfaction, clearly upset at being disturbed during their meal.
Ye Cheng threw some slices of meat down and glanced at Ye Fei, "Hmm."
"Grandpa, something big has happened." Ye Fei, standing behind Ye Cheng, didn’t dare to speak loudly and was out of breath. He quickly organized his words and recounted the events.
Without waiting for the scorpions to finish their meal, Ye Cheng covered the box, and a cold air burst forth from him, "Taken away?"
"Yes, Old Hong personally delivered the news. He also said there’s no need for you to worry, Miss Su should be able to return before it gets dark."
The chill emanating from Ye Cheng subsided somewhat. He sat down and reopened the box. "I see."
Ye Fei let out a sigh of relief. He had thought that upon hearing the bad news about Miss Su, Grandpa would have stormed out in a rage, but it seemed he had worried too much.
How could his grandpa be someone who would recklessly act on beauty’s behalf?
Nevertheless, with Old Hong involved, there truly was no need for concern. If even Miss Su couldn’t be protected, Old Hong might as well go back to the countryside to feed pigs.
At dinner, Luo Yuzhu glanced at Lin Yue’s mouth and asked curiously, "Yueyue, how did you hurt your mouth?"
Lin Yue touched it subconsciously, "I ate something spicy this afternoon, it’s from the spiciness."
The spiciness was so intense she felt like biting her lip, and it must have split at that time.
"What did you eat, Yueyue, that made your mouth so spicy? Surely not chili sauce." Lin Jing laughed out loud looking at Lin Yue’s lips.
Talking about chili sauce, Lin Yue naturally thought of Su Xiaofeng. She bit her chopstick and glanced at Lin Jianguo who was silent. Excitement was written all over her face, "Mom, Dad, there’s something I bet you don’t know."
Seeing how elated Lin Yue was, Luo Yuzhu couldn’t help but tenderly tease, "You child, what makes you so happy? Don’t tell me you did well on your exam this time."
"Mom, all you think about is grades." Lin Yue’s grades were average, and she hated it when Luo Yuzhu brought up her academic performance.
Lin Jianguo was also interested now, "What makes you so happy? Tell Dad."
Now that Lin Jianguo had spoken, Lin Yue felt confident, "I heard from Brother Haozi, he said he saw the relevant personnel taking Su Xiaofeng away for investigation. They say there’s an issue with the raw materials in her factory."
This news would surely please Dad.
Luo Yuzhu dropped her bowl upon hearing this, spilling all the rice on the table, and scrambled, "Really? When did this happen?"
Looking at Luo Yuzhu in a flurry, Lin Yue laughed, "Didn’t auntie say that it had nothing to do with Su Xiaofeng? Why do you seem so concerned about her now?"
Even unable to hold her bowl steady, she was genuinely concerned.
Luo Yuzhu was at a loss for words. Concerned? She was afraid. The thing she feared the most had come sooner than expected. She watched Lin Jianguo’s darkening expression with anxiety; indeed, his face turned unsightly.
Seeing her mother’s reaction, Lin Yue sneered and said with a laugh, "I heard the incident was not minor. Su Xiaofeng wanted to run a factory, but this time, it’s likely she herself will end up paying for it."
Lin Jianguo slammed his chopsticks down on the table and coldly addressed Luo Yuzhu, "Yuzhu, come with me."
What he cared about the most was who the current legal representative of the factory was—was it still Su Xiaofeng?
Luo Yuzhu gave an awkward smile to her mother-in-law and went upstairs to the study.
In Grandmother Lin’s view, Luo Yuzhu’s reaction was due to her concern for Su Xiaofeng getting out of hand, "Yueyue, is Su Xiaofeng really your biological sister? Your mother said no, but it doesn’t seem that way to me."
"Grandma, of course, that’s fake. But since mom picked her up, she’s somewhat attached to her."
"With Su Xiaofeng in such big trouble, even if your mom wanted to protect her this time, it probably wouldn’t be possible."
Lin Yue curled her lip, "Mom’s just worrying over nothing. She doesn’t even consider whether Su Xiaofeng is worth it."
Lin Jianguo looked at Luo Yuzhu with an unpleasant expression, "How did the thing I asked you to handle go? Is Su Xiaofeng currently the legal representative of the factory?"
Luo Yuzhu stood nervously in front of Lin Jianguo, "Jianguo, actually you don’t have to worry too much. Xiaofeng is not blood-related to you, nor to me. Even if she really caused some big trouble, it has nothing to do with us."
She believed the personnel would surely not implicate Jianguo.
Lin Jianguo frowned slightly as he listened, "You should know that I’m being considered for promotion recently, and all the neighbors are aware that Su Xiaofeng was once your daughter, my stepdaughter. If she gets into trouble, should we help her or not?"
Luo Yuzhu murmured her lips, "We shouldn’t help. We trust the authorities will handle it fairly."
Lin Jianguo was about to say more when the phone rang in his study. He picked up, "Yes, this is Lin Jianguo."
Listening to the other party, Lin Jianguo’s voice suddenly turned colder, "What did you say, Lin Yue is suspected of intentional crime?"
"Alright, I understand. I’ll wait for you at home."
Listening to Lin Jianguo’s words, Luo Yuzhu’s eyelids began to twitch uncontrollably. They were just discussing Xiaofeng, and now it was about Yueyue, "Jianguo, what about Yueyue?"
Lin Jianguo, infuriated, swept the pen holder off the table, "Outrageous, simply outrageous, she’s completely disgraced me. Get Lin Yue up here."
Now his years of reputation were utterly ruined by Lin Yue.
