Switched Marriage: The Coddled Little Wife - Chapter 715: Has He Really Fallen Out of Favor with Mr. Lin?

Chapter 715: Chapter 715: Has He Really Fallen Out of Favor with Mr. Lin?

Ma Suyun couldn’t hold back her tears and shook her head repeatedly, “I didn’t do it on purpose, the doctor also said that this child couldn’t be kept. Da Wen, I didn’t fall on purpose, I couldn’t support myself anymore. This child isn’t meant to be with us, you know, the doctor initially advised against keeping this child, even if we managed to conceive, we likely couldn’t keep it…”

“Nonsense, we conceived, then how could we not keep it? I raised you to give me a son, why raise a hen if she doesn’t lay eggs? Let me tell you Ma Suyun, if you don’t give me a son, we’ll get divorced…”

……………

After finishing her work in the afternoon, Lin Chuxia saw it was still early and decided to check on Gu Peng.

Gu Peng had a specific place to stay, which he had already informed Wang Tianyu about in the morning.

Wang Tianyu was also curious and wanted to see what charm this man possessed to catch Mr. Lin’s eye at first glance.

Just as he was about to get in the car, Lin Chuxia stopped him.

“You don’t need to follow, the remaining matters I’ll handle myself. You’ve been working hard these past few days, go home early today and rest. Tomorrow, I should be back in the city, you keep overseeing things here, and report to me timely if anything comes up.”

Wang Tianyu paused, “What about Gu Peng, should I take him along?”

“No need, he’s coming with me to Yan City.”

Lin Chuxia said directly, not seeing Wang Tianyu’s expression like the sky had fallen upon her words.

Even after Lin Chuxia drove off, Wang Tianyu stood dumbfounded at the original spot.

Mr. Lin got a new assistant.

Mr. Lin left him in Ancheng County and took the newly found assistant along.

Has he really fallen out of favor with Mr. Lin?

Or is it that his recent work was lacking somewhere, and Mr. Lin, considering his sister’s sake, didn’t want to say it directly, so found another assistant instead?

Wang Tianyu felt like crying but had no tears, deciding to call his sister to find out what’s going on.

Even if he did something wrong, he should be given a chance to rectify, how can he be given a death sentence directly?

Lin Chuxia had no idea about Wang Tianyu’s internal drama, she was already heading towards Gu Peng’s residence as per the address he provided.

Located in a residential area not far from the Xiyang Building.

This area consisted of old family residential units from organizations like vegetable stations and grocery stores.

As these units fell into decline and closed down, the residential units were privatized.

Due to the age of these houses and their location on the city’s edge, many people moved elsewhere, turning this area into rented spaces becoming a hub for the migrant population in recent years.

Gu Peng lived in the innermost alley of this area, cars couldn’t get through, so Lin Chuxia parked by the road and walked over.

The more she walked in, the dirtier it seemed, with dirty water everywhere and discarded vegetable scraps.

Despite this, this place was still much better than the broken bridge in her past life where Gu Peng lived.

At least it was a place for people to live.

Before even reaching the place, she saw Gu Peng squatting beside the tap, washing clothes.

He wore a navy blue synthetic jacket washed so much that it had faded, with sleeves torn and a hole.

The jacket didn’t fit well, obviously too big.

The trousers were of the same color but even older than the jacket.

He was washing what seemed to be military green pants, likely worn during the morning’s cement unloading.

Lin Chuxia walked directly to his side; only when she stood there did Gu Peng slowly look up.

He glanced indifferently at Lin Chuxia and resumed washing clothes in the basin.

Lin Chuxia raised her eyebrows slightly. Meeting this indifferent Gu Peng again in this life, she was a bit unaccustomed.

She looked around, pulled a worn-out small folding stool over, and sat in front of him.

“How much did Tianyu tell you about the company? I purposefully returned here today, I don’t work here; the business here…”

“I know, you’re Xiyang’s owner. The food factory and bun shop are yours, and the newly built building too.”

Before Lin Chuxia finished speaking, Gu Peng replied lightly.

“Since you understand, it’s easier to talk. I mainly live in Yan City now, with my work focus there. Your future job is to be my right-hand man, do whatever I ask. But the premise is you need to go to Yan City with me.”

In the morning, Lin Chuxia only asked Gu Peng to work under her without specifying the details or mentioning leaving Ancheng County.

The habitual thinking from her past life made Lin Chuxia feel Gu Peng wouldn’t refuse her. Seeing Gu Peng’s indifferent demeanor, she thought it best to ask his opinion and see what he had in mind.

Gu Peng squeezed the clothes forcefully, shook off the excess water, and hung them on the clothesline.

He only asked one question, “When are we leaving?”

Just five words, but it reassured Lin Chuxia.

After all, he was still the same Gu Peng, she really thought he had changed entirely in this life.

“Tomorrow morning, I’ll come to get you,” Lin Chuxia glanced at the room behind him, “You can cancel the lease here, I’ll arrange accommodation for you there, just bring any valuable personal belongings you have.”

“No need.”

“What?”

Gu Peng looked up, his tone earnest, “I said no need for you to pick me up, I’ll wait for you at the Qin Family Village entrance.”

After pausing, he added, “You’re the boss, I’m just working for you.”

Lin Chuxia smiled slightly, this guy, suddenly being so sensible, made her a bit unaccustomed.

It seems she can’t always use her past life perspective to view Gu Peng again.

“Alright, see you at 8:30 tomorrow morning, at the Qin Family Village entrance.”

After instructing Gu Peng, Lin Chuxia returned to Qin Family Village.

She told Mrs. Qin that things here were finished, and they could go to the city tomorrow.

Mrs. Qin was instantly happy.

Today her son-in-law called her and said Qin Juan and the child were doing well, but how could she be reassured without seeing her daughter personally?

Now it was alright, they could go tomorrow.

Mrs. Qin happily went to catch chickens.

Although Lin Chuxia had her own poultry farm under her, and Jia Liang managed the restaurant, there’s no way they would lack tasty food anymore.

Mrs. Qin preferred raising a few chickens at home, always feeling her home-raised chickens tasted better than the poultry farm ones.

After catching the chickens, Mrs. Qin took a basket to the field.

Qin Han’s greenhouse grew strawberries, and at present, it’s strawberry season, Lin Chuxia loved eating strawberries, she should collect more for her daughter-in-law to take along.

Also, Qin Liang’s greenhouse grew watermelons, Ningning loved eating watermelons the most, she had to bring two watermelons for her granddaughter.

After a busy session, the trunk was almost full with fruits, vegetables, and a hen.

Qin Han couldn’t bear to see it and said he’d take the hen along when sending vegetables to Qin’s Restaurant in the city tomorrow.

The next morning, Qin Han left early, while Lin Chuxia and Mrs. Qin cleaned up after breakfast before getting in the car.
