Chapter 539: Chapter 538: Mass Release 18

"Zhiqiang..."

Xu Niannian walked out from behind the office desk, placed a hand on Xu Zhiqiang’s shoulder, and looked at him with a pained expression, "Maybe you’d better not explain after all."

If he really went off to explain, it would be weird if Chen Xiaorou forgave him.

Thinking it over, the permanent solution was to have him hurry up and reconcile... in the bedroom with Chen Xiaorou.

"Brother, let me tell you, with women, you just can’t explain things to them. They don’t listen to explanations; the more you explain, the more trouble you get into."

In an effort to save her little brother’s marriage, Xu Niannian had already begun to deploy her art of persuasion.

"What should I do then?" Xu Zhiqiang asked earnestly for advice.

Xu Niannian sighed and said, "Why don’t you find some time to... ’take care of business’ with Xiao Rou?"

Xu Zhiqiang didn’t catch her drift and asked, "What business?"

Xu Niannian pursed her lips, "The kind between husband and wife, get it?"

Thank goodness Xu Erhong had given Xu Zhiqiang a crash course in this area.

As soon as the matter of husband and wife ’business’ came up, did Xu Zhiqiang finally get it?

His face reddened, and he looked at Xu Niannian with embarrassment, stuttering "Erm" in acknowledgment, "I—I’m already preparing for it."

"Mhm, that’s good."

At last, having tackled the issue, Xu Niannian breathed a sigh of relief.

"Alright, that’s settled then. We’ll be heading back now."

Xu Zhiqiang knew Xu Niannian was returning to the capital today and didn’t want to hold her up.

The group of three swiftly left the factory and headed straight home.

Zhao Zhenzhen and Zhao Shuihua were expelled from the factory after only two days of work, without earning a penny, mainly because they hadn’t done anything.

Dongzi heard from others in the workshop that these two had been slacking off, relying on their status as "relatives" of Xu Niannian, eating sunflower seeds and boasting in the workshop instead of working.

This being a food factory, eating in the workshop was not allowed.

So, using that as the reason, their wages were withheld, and they were promptly kicked out.

Initially, when they were chased out, Zhao Zhenzhen and Zhao Shuihua caused a scene like shrews at the factory gate.

Dongzi went out and threatened them, telling the tall and strong security guards, "If they keep causing trouble, break their legs; the boss said she’ll take responsibility for any issues."

Zhao Shuihua and Zhao Zhenzhen were indeed shameless, but they weren’t reckless with their lives.

In fact, they were quite fond of life, and as soon as they heard Dongzi say that and caught sight of the bouncer’s burly build, they were instantly scared pissless and ran off with their belongings.

Xu Zhiqiang went to appease Chen Xiaorou, while Xu Niannian and the others were busy catching their train; they had wasted so much time, any further delays and they’d miss their train.

As Xu Erhong drove them out of the village, they passed by Zhao Shuihua and Zhao Zhenzhen; since it had rained a few days earlier, there were puddles on the road.

With narrowed eyes and a smile, Xu Niannian said to Xu Erhong, "Uncle Er, let’s drive by them, and a little faster."

She pointed her finger at Zhao Shuihua and her daughter.

Xu Erhong immediately understood Xu Niannian’s intentions; when the three of them returned from the factory, Xu Sisi had already told him what happened.

So, without hesitation, Xu Erhong steered the car their way, speeding over the puddles on the ground.

In an instant, a splash of water rose and sprayed onto the mother-daughter duo.

Zhao Shuihua and Zhao Zhenzhen screamed and tried to dodge, but they were still splashed with muddy water.

Zhao Zhenzhen, trembling with rage, exclaimed, "Who’s that, acting all high and mighty with their car?"

Being chased out of the factory by Xu Niannian, they not only lost face but also had no money.

Zhao Zhenzhen and Zhao Shuihua were fuming, looking for a target for their anger, cursing and swearing.

Xu Niannian poked her head out of the car, looked back at the two slowly disappearing behind them, and smiled at them.

She wouldn’t have felt at peace if she hadn’t let them suffer a bit for delaying her for so long.

Seeing it was Xu Niannian, Zhao Zhenzhen became even angrier.

Yet, no matter how angry she was, she could do nothing about Xu Niannian.

Since they were already distant, the mother and daughter could only stamp their feet in fury, helpless.

Xu Niannian just wanted to see them in a state of aggrieved powerlessness.

Hmm, she might have a bit of a wicked sense of humor.

Neither the Old Lady nor Xu Wentian said anything about Xu Niannian’s actions.

Xu Erhong even asked her, "Baby Nian, do you feel better now?"

"Much better," Xu Niannian answered with a smile, "Thanks, Uncle Er."

"Tsk, it’s only right," Xu Erhong replied with a laugh.

Whoever dared to mess with the Xu family members was truly courting death.

When they were poor, their family stuck together firmly; even more so now that they had money—are they afraid of that mother-daughter pair?

The principle upheld by the Xu family members was always to retaliate if bullied; none were pushovers.

The gentle Zuo Qing was a little taken aback, though.

Because in her impression, Xu Niannian had always been mild-mannered, and during their short interaction, she thought Xu Niannian’s personality was not much different from her own.

She hadn’t expected Xu Niannian to have such a forthright side.

No wonder Jin Yu liked her—smart, beautiful, and genuine. What man wouldn’t?

During her stay, Zuo Qing found that the Xu family members were very protective.

She glanced subconsciously at Xu Sisi, who sat to one side, dozing off with her head tilted.

Hmm... let it be.

With that, any remnants of reluctance in her heart dissipated.

If she fell out with Xu Sisi over Ruiyang, the Xu family members would definitely unite against an outsider, and in the end, the one in an awkward position would be the godfather who had raised her.

Never mind.
