Wei Gang had no time to care about this. After he stopped coughing, he immediately questioned, “Did Li Lin really say that?”

Wei Yan pretended to be confused and nodded. “That’s right. I heard from Mom that Auntie Lin stayed at Grandpa’s house for a few years when she was young. You’re so capable, so you must have taken care of her because of Mom and me.”

Wei Yan smiled sweetly, looking very proud of it.

Wei Gang couldn’t blame Wei Yan. After all, she had just said that he was capable. If he blamed Wei Yan now, what would happen?

However, he had long reminded Li Lin to keep a low profile. In a few days, it would be time for him to be promoted. At that time, the unit would choose someone from among him and the other two old employees. He had worked hard all these years to show that he was motivated and reliable. If a marital scandal was exposed at this time, the promotion definitely wouldn’t go to him.

He had to warn Li Lin carefully and tell her not to ruin things for him!

As she thought about this, Wei Gang sized up Wei Yan’s expression. Wei Yan didn’t seem like she was lying, so he completely believed Wei Yan.

In his opinion, Wei Yan was just a teenage girl. What could she know? How could she guess that he and Li Lin had that kind of relationship? But… what about Li Hai?

At the thought of this, he looked at Li Hai and saw that she had her head lowered, like she was thinking about something. At that moment, Wei Gang became a little vigilant. He couldn’t let Li Hai find out about his relationship with Li Lin.

Seeing this, Wei Yan knew that Wei Gang had believed this excuse. She got up and shook Li Hai’s arm as she wheedled, “Mom, I want you to sleep with me today. I’ve been having nightmares for the past two days. Can you?”

Li Hai had a helpless expression as she agreed. “Okay, okay. I will accompany you.”

After the two of them returned to Wei Yan’s room, Wei Yan immediately put on a solemn expression.

“Mom, I saw Dad observing you a few times just now. I keep feeling that he doesn’t have good intentions. Moreover, I remember that Dad’s factory promotes people at this time every year. Dad has always performed well in the factory. He’s also a small leader, so he must take it very seriously. We have to be careful. Don’t let Dad see through it.”

Seeing how serious her daughter was, Li Hai immediately nodded. “Don’t worry, I’ll be careful.”

However, although she said that, she wasn’t confident at all. When Wei Gang looked at her, she felt fear from the bottom of her heart.

Slowly, Li Hai recalled the sacrifices she had made for this family and Wei Gang over the years. She felt more and more aggrieved and couldn’t help but cry.

Wei Yan didn’t say anything. Instead, when Li Hai was almost done crying, she took out a tissue and handed it to her. “Mom, don’t be afraid. With me around, no one can hurt you.”

After taking a deep breath, Li Hai put away her sadness and her expression became lively again. “I have a junior high school classmate who’s a lawyer now. He works downtown. When the time comes, I’ll contact him and get him to help us come up with ideas.”

In the past, Li Hai didn’t like to trouble others, but divorce wasn’t a small matter. Moreover, Wei Gang wasn’t easy to deal with. More importantly, this matter concerned her daughter’s future. For her daughter’s sake, she was willing to beg others.

Even if she was harassed by Wei Gang in the end and couldn’t maintain a normal life, she still wanted her daughter to live well!
