Chapter 730: Chapter 699 Inquiry, hit hard_1

Sun Sihao was also shrewd, after making money, he quickly bought properties and rented them out to earn rental income.

Wu Youliang’s father and cousin, because they supplied goods to He Tiantian’s store, also made a lot of money, and both families lived prosperously.

However, He Tiantian often reminded all the suppliers that they must ensure quality and quantity. If there was a problem even once, their supply qualifications would be canceled.

This was an extremely rare opportunity, Wu Youliang’s father and cousin took it very seriously—every chicken, duck, goose, and pig had to pass strict inspection before being delivered.

If there was any problem, they would refuse to accept the stock.

The staff responsible for slaughtering in the suburbs and for temporarily feeding these livestock and poultry would also perform a meticulous inspection every time, and once in the kitchen, Qian Shikun would personally check them again.

Therefore, since the opening of the store, everything had been running in an orderly manner without any issues.

This was closely related to He Tiantian’s management style and performance assessments.

Everyone, keen to keep such a good job, worked very diligently and with high enthusiasm.

In the blink of an eye, it was deep autumn, October, and the temperature had already dropped significantly.

The wind outside was strong; He Tiantian wore a trench coat, with a white turtleneck sweater underneath, cinched at the waist with a belt, accentuating her slender figure.

Yuan Chengcai had been paying close attention to He Tiantian lately. He noticed that Huo Yingjie hadn’t come to pick up He Tiantian for a long time, and his interest was piqued.

He Tiantian entered the classroom and sat next to Cui Ying.

Only then did Yuan Chengcai avert his gaze.

Qin Li tapped He Tiantian’s back and asked, "He Tiantian, I’ve noticed that this semester, you’re the only one coming to school on your own. Where’s your boyfriend? He used to always drop you off at the classroom door and come to pick you up after school, didn’t he?"

He Tiantian smiled and said, "He’s started working now, so naturally he doesn’t have time to pick me up anymore. I need to study, so let’s not talk about it."

She turned her head and started reading seriously.

No matter what Qin Li thought, because of the relationship with Wang Bing, He Tiantian didn’t want to have too much to do with Qin Li.

Yuan Chengcai was right there and inevitably heard He Tiantian’s answer.

Ah, so Huo Yingjie was just busy at work, and it wasn’t a problem between them as a couple.

Qin Li was smart; she liked Yuan Chengcai.

If she kept questioning Yuan Chengcai directly, it would affect their relationship. So she asked He Tiantian, letting He Tiantian speak for herself.

Yuan Chengcai next to her could hear, knowing there was no chance. Consequently, with Yuan Chengcai’s nerve, he wouldn’t do anything forceful and would give up.

Indeed, when Qin Li looked at Yuan Chengcai again, he had already lowered his head to read, not sneaking glances at He Tiantian.

For such an outcome, Qin Li was already quite satisfied.

A morning’s classes were very intense.

Huang Jingli was somewhat exhausted; after school, He Tiantian helped support her.

"Where’s Wu Youliang?" He Tiantian asked, as Wu Youliang usually waited by the gate to pick up Huang Jingli after school.

"He went to a factory with a teacher today, so he’s not at school," Huang Jingli said with a smile, "How about we eat at the cafeteria today?"

"Sure!" He Tiantian nodded; the weather was cold, and she didn’t want to go home. Cycling back and forth was somewhat tiring.

At noon, the two of them had lunch in the cafeteria, while Cui Ying and Huashan dined together.

There were only two classes in the afternoon, and Wu Youliang hadn’t arrived yet when He Tiantian took Huang Jingli home before heading back.

A few minutes into the walk, she remembered that her notebook was with Huang Jingli and thought about getting it back for review that night since today’s lectures had been quite profound and there were many points she didn’t understand.

However, upon entering, she was shocked to see Lin Xiaoru grabbing Huang Jingli’s hair.

Huang Jingli, in order to protect her belly, didn’t dare to fight back at all.

He Tiantian was stunned; Lin Xiaoru was really like a ghost that wouldn’t go away!

"Lin Xiaoru, you’d better let go of Huang Jingli right now," He Tiantian rebuked. "If anything happens to Huang Jingli, you’ll be charged with assaulting a pregnant woman and intentional injury!"

Lin Xiaoru, seeing He Tiantian’s arrival, was somewhat panicked.

"This is a matter between Huang Jingli and me, you stay out of this!" Lin Xiaoru said, regaining her composure after the initial panic.

He Tiantian gave a cold laugh and looked disdainfully at Lin Xiaoru, "Heh, you have no shame at all. Huang Jingli owes you nothing, yet you provoke her over and over again. Huang Jingli has been patient with you, but now you’re really pushing it."

"Get lost, this is between us, stay out of it," Lin Xiaoru shouted angrily. Why had He Tiantian come back?

She had clearly seen her leave just moments ago!

Just then, the door burst open.

Father Wu and Mother Wu had come to visit their daughter-in-law.

Seeing their daughter-in-law getting her hair pulled, they were startled and exclaimed, "Tiantian, who is this? Why are you bullying our daughter-in-law?"

"She’s the classmate who has been threatening Sister Jingli!" explained He Tiantian, informing the elderly couple of the situation.

"Let go of Jingli right now," Father Wu scolded. His daughter-in-law was pregnant, and if she twisted her body wrong, their grandchild might be at risk.

Lin Xiaoru panicked, not expecting so many people to show up.

She had only wanted to ask Huang Jingli for money, and when Huang Jingli didn’t give it, she just wanted to teach her a lesson, not take Huang Jingli’s life!

"Move out of the way!" Lin Xiaoru demanded, "Let me out!"

He Tiantian, along with Father Wu and Mother Wu, didn’t dare to approach, only stepping aside, hoping Lin Xiaoru would quickly release Huang Jingli.

Finally, at the doorway, Lin Xiaoru let go of Huang Jingli, intending to run out.

But at that moment, Wu Youliang came in.

Seeing his parents so shaken, he grabbed hold of Lin Xiaoru at once.

He Tiantian hurried over to support Huang Jingli and asked anxiously, "Sister Jingli, are you okay?"

Huang Jingli straightened up and rubbed her belly, shaking her head, "I’m fine!"

Hearing that her daughter-in-law was okay, Mother Wu was no longer worried. Like a mother lion, she charged forward; it wasn’t proper for a man to lay hands on a woman, so she would take over.

Mother Wu stepped forward, grabbed Lin Xiaoru’s hair, and slapped her face several times, berating, "You shameless thing, coming here repeatedly to bully our daughter-in-law and spread rumors. We didn’t want to stoop to your level, but now you’ve really crossed the line."

After speaking, she slapped Lin Xiaoru several more times.

Mother Wu, a highly capable rural woman with a strong body and fueled by rage, struck with even greater force.

"Let go of me, let go of me!" Lin Xiaoru struggled, punching and kicking with her eyes closed.

But Mother Wu, who had come with the ox-cart delivering goods early in the morning and was dressed warmly, felt no pain from the hits, while her hits made Lin Xiaoru howl in agony.

"If I don’t scare you off today, you’ll never learn whom you can provoke and whom you cannot," Mother Wu continued to scold and beat her. Tired of hitting, she pushed Lin Xiaoru away, "Get lost, or I might just break your legs."
