Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
After leaving the house, Zhou Hengguang realized he didn’t have a car. He had driven here, but his older brother took the car, leaving him stranded on the road.
After half an hour of waiting, Ji Fang finally arrived in the design inst.i.tute’s car. “Vice Director, where’s your car?”
“Gone!” Someone stole his car and left him stranded. Ji Fang wisely refrained from inquiring about his car. “Are you heading home or to work?”
“Neither. Let’s go to Xinxing Textile Factory.” He had written to Su Qing, giving her the factory’s address and claiming to be an ordinary worker there.
“Sure.” Ji Fang understood immediately. For the past three days, the vice director had asked him to check the reception room at the new textile factory for a letter from Lin Weiguo.
Upon arrival, Zhou Hengguang, posing as a Xinxing textile factory employee, waited in the car. Ji Fang went to the reception room and found a letter from Lin Weiguo. At least the trip wasn’t in vain.
“Vice Director, there’s a letter from Lin Weiguo.” Ji Fang handed the letter to Zhou Hengguang after rejoining the car.
“Good!” Zhou Hengguang took over the letter, glancing at the address with a smile. Regardless of Su Qing’s response, her reply marked her falling into his trap.
From then on, Su Qing became his bargaining chip. Especially after his elder brother beat up Xiaoxiao’s cousin today to protect his own, the value of this p.a.w.n became even more significant.
He witnessed his older brother and sister-in-law’s closeness, this confirmed the significance of the Su family in his brother’s heart. Today, he realized it was even more substantial than he had thought.
This was advantageous to him. The greater the importance, the more potent the p.a.w.n.
Zhou Hengguang leaned back, nonchalantly, and quickly read the letter. He didn’t care about su Qing’s response, ne only needed to deceive ner Into believing he was her old cla.s.smate, Lin Weiguo.
Ripping the letter and envelope into shreds, he contemplated his reply. Ji Fang observed the vice director’s actions, finding him peculiar. Previously, he’d been eager for a reply, but he tore it apart without hesitation after receiving the letter.
He didn’t know the vice director’s motives.
Returning home, Zhou Hengguang sent Ji Fang off and sat on the courtyard’s coffee table. He imagined himself as a diligent worker in a small textile factory and wrote a lengthy response. He depicted Lin Weiguo as hardworking, determined, and responsible, hoping to leave a positive impression on Su Qing.
Zhou Hengguang squinted, his face revealing a satisfied smile.
This portrayal of Lin Weiguo was bound to leave a favourable impression on Su
Qing. Now, he could delve into the hardships of the ordinary worker Lin Weiguo in his letters, and his constant pressure at home to get married and settle down.
In Trinity Village, even though the incident of Su Xiaoya’s disappearance ended, the memory lingered. Recently, villagers have been discussing it. Many felt a sense of regret, thinking about Xiaoya, who would never return.
Regret settled in, for they hadn’t appreciated her presence while she was alive.
Now that she was gone, they felt sad for Xiaoya, who had a difficult time under her stepmother’s care.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
w.a.n.g Yongmei dared not leave her house these days. Everything was done in secrecy. Yet, the thought of the money she had ama.s.sed brought a sinister smile to her face, even in the middle of the night..
