Reborn in the 1980s: Recapture My Devoted Husband-Chapter 772 - 718: Deceived
Sigh, being a factory director is a glamorous job, but it comes with a cost. Now, because of her work, she and her mother-in-law have turned down a lot of relatives and friends. As a result, people have a lot of opinions about them, saying they’re not sociable.
Sigh... This time she came out, although it was under the guise of studying, she actually wanted to have some peace and quiet.
Su Ling was originally planning to go to S City and Shanghai to look at the fabrics and current partners there. This time it’s not just Su Ling who came to Z City, there’s also an assistant. But there was a bit of an issue at her home at the last minute, so she got delayed by a day. Su Ling didn’t wait for her and came to Z City early to see Lin Wan, and wait for her assistant to join her.
At noon, when Liang Hongmei heard Lin Wan say Su Ling had arrived, she quickly had someone prepare a table full of dishes in the private room.
Usually, at noon every day, she, her mother-in-law, and daughter-in-law all ate here, but today Su Ling came, so it was special. Liang Hongmei specifically asked the kitchen to cook a few dishes for them.
The four of them sat in the private room and chatted about everyday life.
"In just a year, the area next to our factory has already changed. Some of it is land allocated by the government to state-owned factories, and some, like us, buy land to build factories. Seeing us put up buildings, everyone else hasn’t been left behind, sprouting up like bamboo shoots. Aunt Liang, next year when you go to S City, I guarantee you’ll be surprised."
"Speaking of which, since I left, I haven’t had the chance to go back, and I haven’t even seen your factory yet. There’s no chance this year. When I have time next year, I’ll get Xiao Wan to take me there for a look."
"You should definitely go and see it. There’s been a lot of changes."
"I heard that the development over in G City is even faster. A few days ago, I heard from some guests staying at the hotel about how advanced the appliances over there are." Speaking of changes, Mu Qing was a bit curious about the development in G City.
"This time, I’ll be passing by there. I have a camera with me and will take a few shots to show you when I get back. To be honest, I’m quite bold, just taking this little assistant and running out. Both of us being women, I was incredibly nervous traveling from S City to Z City. It’s the first time I’ve stepped out of S City in my life."
"There’s a first time for everything, but you have to be careful. Last time, Han Yi and I went to Shanghai and almost..." Lin Wan stopped herself halfway, realizing she said something she shouldn’t have, and quickly closed her mouth.
Liang Hongmei frowned, asked nervously, "Almost what happened?"
Seeing her mother’s nervous look, Lin Wan quickly forced a smile and said casually, "Almost got lost. It took a long time to find the place."
"Sure enough, it’s easy to get lost when you’re out and about in unfamiliar places," Liang Hongmei thought that Lin Wan had an accident.
....
"Old... old... old..."
"Old what, old? Your grandma, what’s got you so nervous?" Hu Zi had been sitting with Li Kaiying for two days, and just as they arrived at the Li Family, received a call from Z City.
"Boss, that bitch Ye Qing is missing. I’ve been looking for two days and haven’t seen a trace of her."
"What?" Hu Zi’s voice suddenly raised, startling the ear on the other side, and he pulled the phone away a bit, "What did I tell you before leaving, what the hell are you doing? Feeding you for nothing?"
"Boss, I didn’t expect that bitch to run. She usually sleeps until noon. Who knew she wouldn’t come out even by one in the afternoon? When I went in, the bed was empty. At first, I thought I was careless and lost her, thinking she’d go back to see her kid today, so I went to look for her, but didn’t find her. There’s no one at the factory, not even at her workshop. I’ve been waiting here for two days, but she hasn’t shown up. Boss... boss..." The voice over the phone trembled with terror, even through the line.
He knew the consequences of losing a woman the boss had worked hard to find were not going to be good for him.
"Boss, boss, old your sister. How can you lose someone in broad daylight? You’re really something. Just wait, when I get back, I’m going to knock you all over." Hu Zi’s face grew colder, emotions chilling, and after a moment he rushed upstairs to report to Li Kaiying.
Outside, no one knew what Li Kaiying was like, but at home, Li Kaiying was an absolute obedient girl, a little princess. No one would have thought a gentle woman in long loose hair and a white dress could be so ruthless.
When Hu Zi went up, Li Kaiying was laughing, arm-in-arm with her mom. Seeing this, Hu Zi retracted the step he hadn’t yet taken out. Now was not the time to approach.
