Reborn as Tycoon's Wife in the Countryside-Chapter 324 - 318 Pit of Fire (Second Update)_2

Gouzi glanced at Su Xiaofeng, his face dark with anger, and went upstairs.

Soon after, Lin Yue and Su Xiaotao were brought down together. Lin Yue still had a look of fright on her face, truly frightened by what had just happened upstairs.

Men and women, they... The scene was simply unbearable to the eye.

When Su Xiaotao saw Xiaofeng there, she was startled.

She—why is she here.

Su Xiaofeng, as if she hadn’t seen Xiaotao, raised her hand and slapped Lin Yue: "At such a young age, you don’t study well, and instead, you choose to come here."

Lin Yue covered her face, looking at Su Xiaofeng in disbelief, wanting to say I don’t need your meddling, but fearing that if Su Xiaofeng didn’t intervene, she would have to go back upstairs.

For a moment, all she did was stare at Su Xiaofeng, tears streaming down continuously.

"I was wondering who it was, it turns out to be you," Su Xiaotao took a few steps forward: "What, causing harm to someone’s family wasn’t enough, now you’re here playing the good person? If you really were that kind-hearted, you wouldn’t have sent her parents to jail."

After all is said and done, it’s just false kindness.

"What I should do, and what I should not, is not for you to teach," Xiaofeng felt nothing about why Su Xiaotao was here.

"Su Xiaofeng, don’t play the saint here. You know very well why I ended up in this situation, don’t you?"

"I really don’t understand," Xiaofeng laughed: "I can only say that everyone has their own fate; haven’t you noticed that my fate is better than yours?"

"You—." Su Xiaotao was furious, her own fate couldn’t be this bad.

Su Xiaofeng no longer looked at her, took Lin Yue by the arm, and started to walk out. Lin Yue did not resist, having been truly frightened by what had just occurred.

Watching Su Xiaofeng lead her away, Su Xiaotao felt a pain in her chest out of anger. She had finally found a potential gold mine, only for Su Xiaofeng to pull it away.

Su Xiaofeng, what exactly did I owe you in my past life for you to treat me this way?

...

Su Xiaofeng pulled Lin Yue all the way outside, her face grim as she looked at her: "You’re seventeen, you should be able to discern right from wrong."

Lin Yue opened her mouth, then suddenly burst into tears: "I didn’t know beforehand, I really didn’t know."

She thought her job was just washing hair and such; little did she know that it was actually a trap, the kind where once you’re in, you can’t get out.

Xiaofeng looked at her, turned around and got in the car: "Get in the car."

Lin Yue was at a loss.

"Are you stupid, I told you to get in the car. Don’t tell me you’d prefer to go back in there," Su Peng teased the young girl in front of him.

Lin Yue opened the car door and got in, still with tears on her face: "Why are you helping me?"

"What makes you think I’m not out to harm you?"

"If you wanted to laugh at my misfortune, you wouldn’t have gone in to pull me out. If I had gone in there, and then come out, I would have become someone despised by everyone."

"I thought you would hate me, hate me for blocking your way to make money," Xiaofeng said with a light laugh, it seems she was not beyond help.

"I’m just naive, not truly foolish," Lin Yue said, still on the verge of tears: "My grandma knew it was not clean there, yet she let me go. Sister Xiaofeng, I don’t want to go back to that home ever again."

In the past, she still harbored illusions about her grandmother and Lin Jing, but in the end, she realized she was too naive. She had always thought that she and Lin Jing were their grandmother’s own granddaughters, and how biased could a grandmother be.

"If you’re not going home, where do you want to go," Xiaofeng handed her a tissue.

"I don’t know," Lin Yue stammered, her shoulders shaking: "Sister Xiaofeng, I’m sorry, I always thought of you as the bad one, my enemy. Although you’re not my real sister and we have no blood relation, you still saved me."

Today, once she stepped into this fiery pit, she would never be able to get out for the rest of her life.

"I’m not that great," Xiaofeng listened to her words and knew she wasn’t beyond help, "I just couldn’t stand by, so I gave you a hand. But how you walk your path from now on is up to you, others can’t help."

"I still want to study," Lin Yue choked up, "I’ve thought about it, if I board at school, I probably won’t use fifty yuan a month, I want to board and then live with my mom once she gets out."

As for Sister Lin Jing and Grandma, they were the ones who abandoned her first, so it’s better to live apart.

"I can lend you fifty yuan, but I’m not lending it to you for free."

"You can write an IOU." ƒrēenovelkiss.com

"What good does an IOU do me? You come to the factory to work part-time during holidays, and we’ll deduct from the money I lent you."

"Just like that?" Lin Yue bit her lip, "You mean letting me work to pay off the debt." It sounded quite reasonable.

"Of course, you can choose not to, since you’re used to living a pampered life, working in the factory might not suit you, or you could wait until your mom is out to pay me back, though I might charge some interest," Xiaofeng said with a slight smile.

"I want to work at the factory," Lin Yue quickly made up her mind, "I’ve seen too little hardship and too few people before, which is why I was so naive and almost made a huge mistake. Experiencing more hardship would help me see a lot clear, right?"

She had been too naive before, almost manipulated by Lin Jing, if not for Lin Jing sowing discord, she might not have had such a misunderstanding about Sister Xiaofeng.

"Okay, that’s the attitude I want to see," Xiaofeng was quite satisfied with Lin Yue’s attitude, as long as she wasn’t hopeless, "I’m going to the city now, why don’t you head home first?"

"No, I want to be with you, I don’t want to go back. Tomorrow I’ll go directly to school to board, I don’t want to go back," Lin Yue shook her head, afraid that she would become weak once she faced her grandmother.

Xiaofeng didn’t say more about Lin Yue’s insistence.

Lin Yue had shown great dislike for herself, and Xiaofeng wasn’t a saint for helping her, she just felt that Lin Yue was somewhat like the former protagonist.

Naive and easily tricked.

As long as someone isn’t truly foolish, a helping hand can pull them out. Of course, she would only extend it this once, if the other person chose to fall, she wouldn’t intervene again.

Lin Yue sat quietly in the back, while Xiaofeng and Su Peng started discussing other topics.

On their way back from the city, Lin Yue insisted on going back with Xiaofeng, "Sister Xiaofeng, I know I’ve done many wrong things to you before, after everything, I really realize my mistakes. Can you let me stay for one night, please?"

"Lin Yue, there are some things you have to face eventually." She wasn’t a saint, and she didn’t want to shelter Lin Yue.

"Then can you lend me eighty yuan?" Lin Yue braced herself, "I’ll give thirty to Grandma, just say I earned it today, so she won’t suspect me."

She had told her grandmother that she made thirty yuan a day.

"Are you sure?" Money isn’t lent for nothing.

"I’ve thought about it, I’ll go back to school early tomorrow, stay and eat there." As long as she returned to school, Grandma and the others couldn’t do anything to her.

Xiaofeng lent Lin Yue eighty yuan, and Lin Yue clenched the money in her hand, tucked a fifty yuan note into her shoe, and held the other thirty in her hand.

Watching her walk away, Su Peng felt puzzled, "Sis, sometimes I really don’t understand you. Are you forgiving Luo Yuzhu by doing this?"

"Luo Zhuzhu is Luo Yuzhu, I can never forgive Luo Yuzhu." Luo Yuzhu’s past theft of a child was unforgivable, "I just hope my judgment isn’t wrong."

"Today, she’s not too foolish, knows to plan for herself, just afraid her mind can’t withstand temptations, and one day she might harm you again."

That was kind of like the story of the Farmer and the Snake he had heard just a few days ago, wasn’t it?

"Bro, don’t worry, I never make a unprofitable bargain, this Lin Yue is stronger than Luo Yuzhu, just watch."

"I trust your judgment," Su Peng naturally trusted Xiaofeng, "The marketplace will start renovations in three days, once it starts, we need to prepare for a lot of things. Feng, with no one to supervise the goods, how are we going to handle theft?"

With such a large supermarket, products free for picking, surely some people would think of taking small advantages.
