Chapter 14: Zhou Yu Can Tell

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Zhou Yu’s expression was a little ugly as she warned Li Lin, “Although they sell clothes and we buy clothes, our status is not much higher than theirs. What era is it now? Don’t tell me you look down on salespeople?”

“Besides, the factory lays off workers not because there’s a problem with the workers’ abilities, but because as the industry develops, many processes can be completed with machines. Li Lin, since she’s your cousin, you shouldn’t look down on her like this.”

Li Lin knew that Zhou Yu came from a good family and wanted to befriend her. Now that she heard Zhou Yu’s reprimand, she immediately smiled awkwardly and said, “I’m just too honest and don’t know how to speak nicely. I’ll remember this time. I won’t do so again in the future.”

“Cousin, don’t take my words to heart.”

Li Hai looked at her with hatred in her eyes. “Yesterday, you said that Yanyan’s grades weren’t good and that she was only fit to sell clothes. Yanyan refuted you, but you said that she was lying. Li Lin, your parents passed away early when you were young. You lived in my house for so many years and our family supported you. How can you say that about Yanyan?”

If Li Lin had only mocked Wei Yan yesterday, Li Hai wouldn’t hate her so much.

However, Li Lin had ruined her family. How could Li Hai not hate her? However, Yanyan had also said that this matter couldn’t be exposed so quickly since they needed to be sufficiently prepared, so Li Hai could only argue about what happened yesterday.

Zhou Yu frowned and looked at Li Lin unhappily. “Li Lin, according to your cousin’s words, their family is your benefactor. You should be grateful to them. How can you say that about them?”

Li Lin was furious. When did these two people become so eloquent? Weren’t they always silly and gullible?

However, Li Lin couldn’t flare up in front of Zhou Yu. “Sigh, it’s my fault. I’ve experienced too much in the past few years, so I don’t know how to speak properly anymore. Cousin, I remember your kindness to me. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have brought someone here to buy clothes.”

Li Lin was still defending herself. She only hoped that this matter would pass quickly.

She brought Zhou Yu here to become closer to her. Secondly, she wanted Li Hai to see that the friends she knew now were all distinguished people and that they weren’t from the same world as her.

However, she didn’t expect Zhou Yu to be so righteous, nor did she expect Li Hai to tell others about what had happened to her back then.

In the past, Li Hai had never taken the initiative to mention this.

According to Li Hai’s previous way of thinking, shouldn’t she take care of Li Lin?

What was going on now? Why was she starting to tell others about it?

Li Lin sneered. She had thought that Li Hai was a high-minded person. Now, it seemed that since she said yesterday that she had made money from doing business, Li Hai wanted to rip her off, so she deliberately mentioned the past.

Li Lin despised Li Hai deep down, but she didn’t show it on the surface.

As Wei Yan looked at Zhou Yu, she suddenly felt that Zhou Yu looked familiar. Only then did she remember that Zhou Yu seemed to be a reporter! And her husband was the police chief!

Wei Yan’s heart raced. This was a good opportunity. She had to seize it.

Wei Yan pinched her thigh hard, and her eyes turned red.

“Aunt Lin, you can go out first. I’ll bring this customer to choose clothes, but I don’t want to sell them to you anymore.” As she spoke, she turned her face away, as if she felt very aggrieved.

Li Lin was stunned. What was wrong with this girl? Hadn’t she already apologized?

Zhou Yu also felt that it was a little baffled, but she was smart enough not to say anything immediately. Instead, she said to Li Lin, “I think she’s in a bad mood. Go home first. I’ll take a look myself.”

Li Lin wanted to follow, but Wei Yan cried even harder. In order not to make Zhou Yu annoyed, Li Lin could only leave unhappily.

After Li Lin left, Wei Yan wiped her tears.

Zhou Yu took the initiative to walk to her side and asked, “Girl, what’s your name? Can you tell me why you were crying just now?”

As a reporter, her intuition told her that this matter was probably not that simple.
