Chapter 403: Chapter 403

Wang Ailing is not someone who digs into things; since Jiang Xinyu has given an answer, she understands that Xinyu doesn’t want to say more, so she won’t press further.

"Xinyu, these past few days, everyone has been talking about you. Most people sympathize with you and think that guy must be blind, but some are gloating, while others are malicious."

"Sis, I’m not a banknote that everyone likes. People can say whatever they want. How could I control what others say or think?"

"You’re really open-minded?" Wang Ailing gave Jiang Xinyu a side glance.

"What else can I do? Sis, let me tell you, I’m going to be the Vice Factory Director. Once I’m at a high enough level, even if someone doesn’t like me and gossips, they’ll have to avoid me."

"Congratulations, my sister really has skills." Wang Ailing showed a genuine smile. She was truly happy for Jiang Xinyu.

"Haha, I haven’t wasted these four years of studying. With this qualification, there’s a high chance for me to be promoted."

"It’s still better to go to school; you should tell Xiangting."

Jiang Xinyu nodded, realizing she should set a correct goal for the child and encourage her to work hard. Thıs content belongs to 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⟡𝕗𝗂𝗋𝖾⟡𝕟𝕖𝕥

"Xinyu, since you’re going to be a Vice Factory Director, what about Vice Factory Director Yao?"

"He’s still a Vice Factory Director too; we manage different areas. He mainly handles technology, while I oversee the Security and Finance departments."

"Honestly, Vice Factory Director Yao truly has talent. He’s quite capable."

"Yes, that’s why Mr. Qian doesn’t want to let Vice Factory Director Yao go. Talented people are always held in high regard."

The two sat on small stools chatting while Chen Guoliang finished tidying up the table and went to play with the kids but kept glancing at Jiang Xinyu, curious about what charm his wife’s sister possesses.

Recalling Shen Jian Country’s pursuit of Jiang Xinyu’s situation today, he felt a headache. Already married with a wife and kids, yet still so focused on another woman, it’s really not good.

After a while longer, Jiang Xinyu called Shi Jing and Feifei to go home together with Niang San.

Wang Ailing lay on the kang and said, "What’s up with you today? Why do you keep sneaking glances at Xinyu?"

"Today, Shen Jian Country kept asking me about Director Jiang. I’m just baffled. Actually, Secretary Pan is prettier than Director Jiang, just not as capable, and besides, she’s his wife. I don’t know what Shen Jian Country is thinking?"

"You should warn Shen Jian Country not to cause trouble for Xinyu. Xinyu and Secretary Pan have a good relationship, and Xinyu is about to get promoted to Vice Factory Director soon. Let’s not spread any bad rumors that could harm Xinyu.

There must be something wrong with Shen Jian Country’s character, having a wife and children already but still paying attention to other women. You’d better not hang out with him too much, lest you be led astray."

"Haha, how could that be? In my eyes, my wife is the best." Chen Guoliang really didn’t lie; he genuinely believed this. After being married for so many years with a son and a daughter, and most importantly, she’s been really good to his parents — who could compare to his wife?

When Jiang Xinyu got home, she prepared bath water for the two kids, then cleaned herself up and lay beside her daughter. Soon, she fell asleep.

At this moment, Yao Shimin also got off the car. Deep into the night, he went straight to his mother-in-law’s house.

His mind was in turmoil. Yu Wensu wants to divorce him, surely feeling uncomfortable, and thinks it’s his fault, but if it’s because he’s been cuckolded, that’s different.

He went to his mother-in-law’s so late, unclear whether he wanted to reconcile or catch someone in the act.

After a full forty minutes of walking, he finally reached his mother-in-law’s door, noting that it was already past ten o’clock. After thinking for a moment, he knocked on the door.

He knocked for a good five minutes before hearing any movement inside. "Who is it?"

Yao Shimin recognized his father-in-law’s voice. "Dad, it’s me, Yao Shimin."

"Yeah, I just got back today."

"Hurry in. Why didn’t you go home?"

"I came to find Wen Su."

"Wen Su is at your place. Why’d you come here? Come in, let your mom make you something to eat."

"Dad, no need. I thought Wen Su was here, so I didn’t go home first. Since she’s not here, I’ll head back. Sorry to disturb your sleep."

"No problem, no problem. Do you want to eat before going back?"

"No need, Dad. I had dinner on the train. You go rest; I’ll head home. I’ll visit you both tomorrow."

Yao Shimin left with a frown. How come Yu Wensu wasn’t home? Her mom said she hadn’t been back in two months. Could she really be at home? So he hurried home.

The two houses weren’t close, so it took another half hour to reach home.

"Dad, it’s me, Shimin."

"Shimin? You’re back. Come in. Why so late? Go wash up, I’ll make you something to eat."

"Dad, I’m not hungry, don’t fuss. Is Yu Wensu here at home?"

"No, she hasn’t been back for more than two months."

The father and son went inside. "Dad, I went straight to her house after getting off. She wasn’t there either, and according to her Dad, she hadn’t been staying there."

At this moment, Mother Yao also came out. "Shimin, stop overthinking. Quickly wash up and sleep, then find her to divorce tomorrow."

Since they worked in the same compound, they had heard some rumors.

"Yeah, I came back to resolve this. Dad, Mom, you go to bed. I’ll wash up, and we’ll discuss it tomorrow."

"You go take a bath, I’ll make you some malted milk. We are old, you see, don’t sleep that much."

Yao Shimin didn’t say anything else, found his change of clothes, and went for a bath.

The old couple busily boiled water with worried hearts. "Husband, whatever type of wife Shimin wants, wherever she’s from, I won’t care anymore."

"We meant well for him, just that he met an unsuitable person."

"What kind of description is that? Yu Wensu used to act sweet and clever in front of me, now it’s clear what kind of person she is. Just that the cost was big, holding up our son," sighed Mother Yao.

"Alright, stop thinking about it. It’ll be solved this time."

After bathing, Yao Shimin washed his clothes in the yard.

The couple watched from the side, their hearts aching.

"Shimin, drink this quickly."

"Mom, don’t be , I’m fine."

"Shimin, what do you plan to do?"

"Don’t let Yu Wensu know I’m back yet. I want to find out tomorrow where she stays at night. If I’ve indeed been cuckolded, it won’t be that easy to let it slide."
