Chapter 737: Chapter 737: Little Schemes

“I’m putting it down right here, if you don’t listen to us and dare to get a divorce, don’t ever come back to this house, we’ll just pretend we never raised a daughter like you, don’t come back and disgrace us…”

……

Wang Tianxue closed her eyes, then opened them, her gaze full of mockery.

Indeed, people can only rely on themselves. Once you’re strong, there’s nothing to fear.

Love and family affection are all worthless in the face of personal interests.

Back then, when she had nothing and a child to raise, her parents could say such heartless things.

Now they just see her as successful and capable and want to act like a loving family again.

She can give them pocket money, as a token of gratitude for raising her.

But the moment her father said those words, she decided she’d never set foot in that house again.

…………

It wasn’t until today that Lin Chuxia finally managed to tour every floor of the Xiyang Building.

Except for a portion of the reserved fourth floor, almost the entire building was in use.

The mall was bustling, with grand promotions for its opening day, and customers coming and going without end.

The mall’s service staff were all systematically trained by Liu Na.

The opening of the clothing mall in Yan City was jointly overseen by Liu Na and Wang Tianxue.

Back then, even though Wang Tianxue took the lead and Liu Na assisted, having gone through it once made it much smoother the second time.

The Xia Yang Kindergarten has also opened, although Xiyang employees can send their children there, right now awareness is still quite low, and families with someone to help look after the kids rarely send them to the daycare, so there are only about 20 children there.

Looking at those lively and adorable children, Lin Chuxia thought of her daughter.

Earlier during the opening, her mother was holding her daughter downstairs, but now she couldn’t find them.

“After the ceremony ended, mom took Qi Qi to the mall to buy her a few clothes and then Zhuang Yang sent them back,” Qin Yang explained.

Lin Chuxia nodded, feeling there wasn’t much left to do here.

“I’ll give them some instructions, and then let’s head back.”

“Alright.”

Lin Chuxia called over Gu Peng and Wang Tianyu, went over the things she could think of in detail, and then left with Qin Yang.

On the way back, Qin Yang felt a bit emotional, “I used to think if I worked hard to earn money, you and our daughter could live a good life. But no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t keep up with your pace, and in the end, I benefited from your achievements in every way.”

Just like the Santana he’s driving now, he wouldn’t be able to afford it with just his salary.

Lin Chuxia sitting in the passenger seat, rested her chin on her hand playfully, her eyes slightly raised to look at him, “What? Feeling guilty toward me and our daughter again?”

Seeing her little look, Qin Yang couldn’t help but chuckle, reaching out to pinch her cheek.

“No, I feel very lucky to have married such an amazing wife. Not just me, even my parents think marrying you is a blessing of several lifetimes.”

He suddenly lowered his voice with a teasing tone, “You don’t know, recently when mom came to the city to see my sister, she noticed an extra Gu Peng in the car, and privately warned me a lot, fearing I upset you and that you’d grow tired of me.”

At the end of it, he even sounded a bit aggrieved.

Lin Chuxia suddenly remembered the look in Mrs. Qin’s eyes that day and couldn’t help but find it amusing.

How insecure is his mom about her son?

Though Gu Peng is not bad-looking, compared to Qin Yang, there’s still a gap.

Besides, even in their past life, her relationship with Gu Peng was only that of friends.

Qin Yang is her husband, the person she holds dear, the father of her daughter.

No matter the identity, they couldn’t be compared to Gu Peng.

Moreover, whether it’s Qin Yang or the Qin Family’s attitude, Lin Chuxia had long felt it.

That’s why she sincerely treats Qin Yang and the Qin Family well.

In their past life, she was also diligent, struggling for a living.

But Li Guangyuan enjoyed the good life her efforts brought him, while mentally oppressing her.

Fearful that she would break free from their control.

While enjoying and using what she provided, he feared others saying he relied on a woman, that he was a freeloader.

The Li Family, especially, had always thought she was sold to them for that 300 yuan bride price, so everything she did was naturally the Li Family’s rightful gain.

Qin Yang never thought marrying a woman more capable than him was a disgraceful thing.

The Qin Family regarded everything she did as a source of pride.

This emotional value was more important than anything.

After saying this, Qin Yang secretly glanced at her out of the corner of his eye, seeing her smiling happily and relaxed, he let out a sigh of relief.

And felt a bit ashamed for his own petty thoughts.

……………

By evening, everything had settled.

All the tasks were proceeding in an orderly manner.

Wang Tianyu finished his day’s work, packed up his things, and prepared to go home.

During this period, he still needed to stay in An City, going directly home after work.

Riding his bicycle, he took two turns, following the straight path toward home.

Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he spotted a familiar figure not far away.

He squeezed the brake, gradually slowing down, finally coming to a halt in the distance, watching the figure disappear at the entrance of the alley, a trace of doubt in his eyes.

Earlier things had calmed down quite a bit, and thinking Gu Peng needed to return to the city, he let him leave first.

Unexpectedly, Gu Peng was still in An City, why hadn’t he returned to the city?

The last bus from Ancheng County to the city was at 5 p.m., and it was now 6 p.m.

Gu Peng shouldn’t have missed the bus at that time.

Moreover, Gu Peng had terminated the lease of his rented house in Ancheng County when he and Mr. Lin left.

If he was staying in An City, he didn’t even have a place to live, so what was he wandering around here for?

Even if he wanted to spend the night in An City, he should have stayed at the Xiyang Group Building.

Did he just mistake someone else for him?

The more Wang Tianyu thought about it, the more it didn’t add up. He turned his direction, pedaling his bicycle to follow.

As he entered the alley, he saw at the end of the alley, the figure who should have been on the bus to the city right now, Gu Peng, wearing the same clothes he had on today, clear as day in his memory.

Worried about making too much noise and alerting the man ahead, Wang Tianyu quickly locked his bicycle by the roadside and jogged after him.

The person ahead kept making turns, heading west, and Wang Tianyu followed, trying to determine where Gu Peng was heading.

In a residential area, a turn later, the figure suddenly disappeared.

This road was flanked by residences, and it was dinnertime, with every house having someone visible.

Some doors were tightly closed while others were half open.

Wang Tianyu walked as he observed the households on both sides. Official source is novel-fire.ɴet

This must be an employee housing area for a factory; the yards were small.

Was Gu Peng here to find someone? Did he know someone living here?
