Chapter 396: Saved by a fierce and rough boss
In this way, the day passed quickly. After Wen Minfang woke up from her afternoon nap, the family returned to their normal life, and the kitchen and living room became bustling again.
With more people at home, Wen Yang felt more at ease and slept more soundly at night.
The next morning, after getting up and washing up, the whole family went to work or school. Wen Yang stayed at home to look after the house because he didn't have to work at the clinic.
After Yao Xing arrived at the office, he first greeted his colleagues in the office and then went to Lu Zuan's office.
Hearing a knock on the door, Lu Zuan replied, "Come in."
Only then did Yao Xing push the door and walk in.
Seeing that the person coming was Yao Xing, Lu Zuan asked with concern: "Is everything done?"
"Yes, he was buried yesterday morning."
Lu Zuan's eyes showed a trace of sympathy. He nodded and said, "My condolences."
The sadness on Yao Xing's face flashed away, "Thank you for your concern, Brother Lu."
Lu Zuan sighed, "Hey, you just got back, don't rush into work. Remember to adjust your state first."
"Brother Lu is right."
"Okay, if you have nothing else to do, you can go out first." After Lu Zuan finished speaking, he lowered his head to look at the document in his hand.
But Yao Xing did not leave. He remembered that Lu Zuan had taken the initiative to say that if Wen Yang was free, he should tell him.
Moreover, Wen Minfang specifically told him yesterday to mention Wen Yang's matter to Lu Zuan when he got to the unit.
So he turned to Lu Zuan and said, "By the way, Brother Lu, Wen Yang is free now. Can you see...why not let the two children find an opportunity to talk privately?"
Unexpectedly, when Yao Xing said this, Lu Zuan frowned and did not respond immediately. After a while, he put down the documents in his hand with a complicated expression and slowly said, "Xiao Yao, let's forget about the two children. My brother-in-law works at the Xunyang County Police Department. A few days ago, my wife heard from my brother-in-law that Wen Yang was kidnapped by county thugs..."
"Wen Yang was rescued and was not insulted by the gangsters." Yao Xing explained hurriedly.
"Really? That's good." Lu Zuan smiled.
But soon, his tone darkened. "Although I know Wen Yang is a good girl, and I'm glad she didn't suffer any substantial harm, you also know that rumors in this world are the most terrifying. In our small county, once the slightest bit of news leaks out, the truth will come out..."
"Even if Wen Yang is innocent, once the news spreads that she was kidnapped by gangsters, people will inevitably gossip about her behind her back. My wife and I don't want Zhen Ting to be caught up in such a scandal."
Now that the words have been made clear, even if Yao Xing was a fool, he should have understood.
He sighed helplessly, "Okay, Brother Lu, I understand what you mean. I hope Zhenting can find his beloved girl as soon as possible. I'll be out first." After that, Yao Xing turned and left the office.
Yao Xing was a little uneasy at work all day.
He could see that Wen Minfang was very optimistic about Lu Zhenting, and also hoped that Wen Yang could develop a relationship with Lu Zhenting.
But now, this sudden change has ruined a good thing...
After finally getting off work, Yao Xing hadn't figured out how to tell Wen Minfang about this when he got home. If he told her the truth, Wen Minfang would definitely think that the Lu family disliked Wen Yang. Her niece was already a victim, and now she was being disliked. She would definitely feel upset when she knew that...
Thinking of this, Yao Xing's steps on his way home from get off work unconsciously became heavier.
As soon as I entered the house, Wen Minfang had already tied an apron and was preparing to cook.
Seeing Yao Xing come back, he immediately walked out of the kitchen and asked expectantly, "Old Yao, how's the task I asked you to do yesterday going? What did the Lu family say?"
Seeing Wen Minfang's expectant eyes and Wen Yang's quiet and obedient appearance beside him, Yao Xing's eyebrows jumped, and he felt even more difficult to speak. He hesitated for a long time before replying with difficulty, "Let's eat first, and we'll talk to you when we're free tonight."
Seeing Yao Xing's slightly depressed look, Wen Minfang keenly sensed something. She put away the expectation on her face and replied, "Okay, then I'll go cook first." After that, she turned and went into the kitchen.
After dinner, the family took turns washing up.
After Yao Xing finished his shower and went into the house to lie down, Wen Minfang couldn't wait to come over and ask, "What's going on? You went to the company today. What did the Lu family say?"
Seeing that he could no longer hide the truth, Yao Xing could only honestly repeat what he had said to Lu Zuan in the office today.
Wen Minfang was a person who couldn't keep things to herself. When she heard what Yao Xing said, she immediately sat up angrily and cursed, "They dislike Yangyang?!"
Yao Xing quickly covered Wen Minfang's mouth and made a "hush!" gesture.
"Speak softly, don't let Wen Yang hear it!" Yao Xing said in a low voice.
Wen Minfang pushed Yao Xing's hand away, tears welling in her eyes: "How could they do this? Yangyang has done nothing wrong, why do they despise her?"
Yao Xing sighed and gently put his arm around Wen Minfang's shoulders. "I know you care about Yangyang, and I also think it's unfair for them to do this. But Brother Lu and the others are also thinking about their own children, so we can't force them."
Wen Minfang leaned into Yao Xing's arms and sobbed, "What should we do now? How can I tell Yangyang about this?"
"Or... let Yangyang follow Mr. Cheng to Beijing and give it a try? What if we can get a good opportunity in Beijing?" Yao Xing said tentatively.
A hint of hesitation flashed across Wen Minfang's eyes. After thinking for a moment, she nodded. "Okay, then why don't we take a day off and go see her off together? Let's see the actual working environment there."
"Okay." Yao Xing nodded in agreement.
The next morning, Wen Minfang told Wen Yang that she agreed to let him go to Beijing.
