Chapter 1024: Without Her as the Dupe

Xinyan was also quite happy to see Zhao Jianlan. The two of them embraced excitedly and didn’t separate for quite a while.

He Jinxuan standing to the side was wishing he could step in and separate them.

However, a lot of old acquaintances from the Mechanical Factory were greeting him.

Zhao Jianlan released Xinyan, looked her up and down, and said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Your figure is becoming more and more enviable, with all the right curves in the right places. If I were a man, I’d find a way to snatch you from your Captain He."

Xinyan burst into laughter: "What you said, does it mean your butt is your chest, and your chest is your butt?"

The two girls started playfully chasing and hitting each other, and He Jinxuan couldn’t help but smile as he watched Xinyan’s cheerful face.

From afar, the voice of Zhao Jianlan’s mother came: "You dead girl, I told you to go greet Xinyan. I’m tired of waiting, and you still haven’t brought her back."

Xinyan greeted the approaching person: "Auntie, I’m back to see you all."

Zhang Meilian, especially grateful for Xinyan helping her daughter get into college, felt quite delighted knowing Xinyan was returning to the Mechanical Factory: "Xinyan, you’ve become even prettier. Come, come, have a seat at our house."

The commotion here was coincidentally seen by Lyu Juncheng, who was covering up for his son. He didn’t expect that after just over a year, Xinyan had grown to be so attractive.

He Jinxuan was the first to notice Lyu Juncheng stopping not far away and glared at him hostilely.

Lyu Juncheng felt a mix of emotions and hurriedly walked away, not daring to stay.

Just as he left, someone said: "Hey, take a look, isn’t that Lyu Juncheng?"

"Yeah, it is. Looks like he’s ashamed."

"Exactly, why else would he walk so fast?"

"He’s probably not only regretting it, but his whole heart must be consumed with regret too."

"Well, it’s his fault for not being a decent person. He had a good life and had to mess around with Yao Hui."

"You haven’t seen how filthy Lyu Juncheng’s place is now, it makes you want to throw up last night’s dinner just smelling it."

"Yao Hui’s not working now, can’t she tidy up?"

"What tidying? Ever since the miscarriage, she’s done nothing. She only cooks a little, if it’s enough, they eat, if not, they go hungry."

"Oh dear, why stay together at that point? Might as well just divorce."

"Yao Hui’s given up now. If it weren’t for Lyu Xiangyang, she wouldn’t have miscarried or lost her ability to bear children.

Even if she’s doing nothing now, they don’t dare complain because they owe her.

Besides, even if she divorced, she might not find a good family to marry into."

"True, with her relations with the Yao Family so strained now, if she divorces, she has nowhere to go. Better to stick with Lyu Juncheng; at least there’s food and drink."

"You haven’t seen the way those kids are dressed; the clothes are so stiff and shiny it’s shocking."

"If Lyu Juncheng doesn’t manage those kids well, they might become real troublemakers. Even at such a young age, people are always complaining about them."

Those comments naturally reached Xinyan’s ears. In fact, as they spoke, people kept sneaking glances at her to see how she would react.

Of course, they weren’t disappointed. Though Xinyan didn’t appear gleeful, the disdain in her eyes was evident to anyone.

Zhang Meilian greeted everyone and then walked with Xinyan towards her home.

Xinyan glanced in the direction of the Lyu Family, filled with sarcasm. In her past life, Lyu Juncheng never acknowledged her efforts, claiming the children’s success was due to his and Yao Qian’s good genes.

Now, she wanted to see, without being the foolish benefactor, just how good their genes truly were.

She was patiently waiting!!!
