Switched Marriage: The Coddled Little Wife

Chapter 736: Chapter 736: Low Emotional Intelligence

Is this the fate of women?

If it were Lin Chuxia, could she come and go as she pleases?

Li Guangyuan also sensed something at this moment, his brow furrowing deeper.

"You said my sister has been out for two days? Did you do something to her again?"

Although Li Guangyuan didn’t want to involve himself in Li Dongmei’s family matters, Li Dongmei was still his sister.

A cold snort sounded from behind Mrs. Zhang, "Listen to what you’re saying, what could I possibly do to her? We’ve kept her well-fed and well-cared for every day, if she doesn’t do anything to us, that’s good enough. Stop saying things that are useless. Where is Li Dongmei? Quickly hand her over, the children at home are waiting for her to feed them."

She was now in poor health and couldn’t take care of the old man and the little girl at home.

Old Master Zhang continued, "Every time Li Dongmei goes out, she takes the little girl with her. This time, she’s left her at home for two days and hasn’t cared. I think you Li Family members are doing this deliberately. We’ve all come here today; does she still want to show off in front of us?"

Li Guangyuan felt a sudden jolt in his heart.

He knew his second sister’s temper too well. If even the child hadn’t been taken from Zhang’s house for two days...

He thought of his elder sister Li Hongmei.

"Look after the stall, I’ll go back for a bit," Li Guangyuan turned to speak to Lin Jiayi.

Mrs. Zhang sneered, "What other tricks do you want to play? Li Dongmei ran away without even taking care of her child, your Li Family has to take responsibility for this..."

.................

After the luncheon ended, the leaders and guests who came to attend the listing ceremony were sent off, and the listing ceremony was officially successfully completed.

However, Lin Chuxia was not in a hurry to leave; she took another tour of the various departments of the whole building.

When she reached the mall, she happened to bump into Qin Yang.

He had just finished lunch and wanted to take another stroll before leaving, so he volunteered to accompany her.

She had already taken a brief tour earlier and understood almost the entire building.

Lin Chuxia smiled and raised her eyebrows, "Alright, you can be my guide then."

Gu Peng originally wanted to catch up with Lin Chuxia but was pulled back by Wang Tianyu.

He instantly frowned with dissatisfaction, "Why are you pulling me?"

Wang Tianyu rolled his eyes mentally, thinking that this foolish fellow is quite useless despite his strong business skills; his emotional intelligence is too low.

In the workplace, one’s abilities only account for half; you must also understand the ways of the world and be able to read people’s expressions.

This foolish fellow was really bad at reading the room.

He slightly nodded, "Didn’t you see Mr. Lin is with Deputy Minister Qin? Why are you rushing over there? To play the third wheel? Alright, alright, I know you take your work seriously and want to show off in front of Mr. Lin, but there are times when it’s really not the time for us to shine."

Gu Peng coldly withdrew his arm, "I’m just doing my job; not everything is about showing off to Mr. Lin like you."

Then he walked away without looking back.

"Hey..."

Wang Tianyu stood there dumbfounded, did he just get schooled by a newbie?

His shoulder was patted, and then he saw his elder sister Wang Tianxue standing behind him.

"Sis!"

Wang Tianxue glanced at the departing Gu Peng, "What happened, aren’t you getting along with the new colleague?"

Wang Tianyu gathered his emotions, smiled, and shook his head, "How could that be? You know me, sister, even if the other person isn’t easy to get along with, I can still get along happily."

Wang Tianxue gave him a thumbs up, "My little brother is still so impressive."

Wang Tianyu scratched his head and changed the topic, "Sis, are you done now? Mom and Dad should still be waiting for you at home. They know you’ll come home today, so they’ve stayed in all day just waiting for you."

Wang Tianxue’s smile faded a bit, "Not today, something’s going on at the factory that I need to rush back for."

"Sis, you probably wouldn’t go back even if there’s nothing at the factory, right?"

Wang Tianyu knew his elder sister’s personality; since she got divorced, she hadn’t visited home, even during holidays she only sent some money to their parents through him.

"I understand it’s not your fault. Back when you were getting divorced, Mom and Dad shouldn’t have said those things. But they’ve realized their mistake now..."

"Tianyu," Wang Tianxue interrupted him directly, "The headquarters of the group is located in An City, with Mr. Lin’s situation there, she can’t always be at the headquarters. By having you stay at the headquarters, Mr. Lin is trusting you to do your job well; don’t disappoint Mr. Lin’s expectations. Also, with Gu Peng, both you and Gu Peng are the same in Mr. Lin’s eyes; you are indispensable aides. You shouldn’t, because you’ve been with Mr. Lin longer, develop thoughts you shouldn’t have about competing for a moment of credit. Mr. Lin is a very wise person, your little tricks won’t amount to anything in front of her but will instead make you look foolish."

"Sis, I know. I won’t compete against Assistant Gu."

Having received his promise, Wang Tianxue nodded, "That’s good, I have to go back to take care of some matters, call me if anything comes up."

"Sis..."

Wang Tianyu wanted to say more, but Wang Tianxue was already striding away.

Her back was straight, emitting a sense of pride and coldness.

But her heart at that moment was filled with desolation.

She would never return to that home, not since she wanted to divorce Yang Rui when her parents staunchly opposed it, even knowing Yang Rui had found someone else outside.

"Tianxue, this isn’t really an issue. Men, how many don’t stray a little? Besides, Yang Rui is such a big figure at the Department Store."

"She seems to be discontent, done enjoying good days now wants trouble. Yang Rui even came to me saying he’d live well with you, apologized as needed. What more do you want? Even when facing death, one should be lenient. Yang Rui is a man; considering you didn’t even give him any face, it’s a blessing he’s not divorcing you. Stop holding onto it."

"Your dad’s right, Yang Rui seems good to me; how many men voluntarily yield to their wives? He just made a mistake momentarily, bewitched by those tempting foxes outside. I say it might not even be Yang Rui’s fault; maybe it’s those foxes seeing his potential that won’t let go. If you really divorce him, wouldn’t you be helping those foxes?"

"Furthermore, think for Xiao Long, he’s young; can’t grow up without a mother."

"Mom, Dad, I’ve decided not to continue with Yang Rui, don’t try to persuade me further. And Xiao Long, he’s my son; I’ll have him with me; he won’t be motherless."

"Foolish, how will you survive as a woman with a child? With such a burden, how could you remarry? There’s no place for you at home. Your brother’s grown; soon he’ll want a spouse. But with a divorced elder sister at home, who would want to marry your brother?"
