Chapter 408: You Dare Say It Has Nothing to Do With You?
He knew exactly what kind of person his wife was. Their past petty squabbles had come and gone. After all, they had never stirred up any major trouble.
But this time was different! This incident involved the reputation of one of the company’s outstanding employees. The company would definitely launch a thorough investigation, and if Liu Fanglan was truly involved, even he would face the consequences!
And so, consumed by anxiety and worry, Luo Bin, the deputy group leader, was a mess of mistakes during that day’s training. It wasn’t just his superiors; even the junior employees under him couldn’t understand what was going on with him.
’What’s gotten into our group leader?’
As for Luo Bin, he was in no state to care about any of that. After work that day, he got home at roughly the same time as Lu Cheng.
But unlike the warm welcome Lu Cheng received, Luo Bin’s evening was utter chaos.
Thrilled by the effect of the rumors she had spread, Liu Fanglan was in high spirits at home. She was so elated that she didn’t even notice the fury in the sound of Luo Bin slamming the door open when he came home.
"Why are you back so early today?"
She’d even completely forgotten her anger from her last fight with Luo Bin. What could she do? She was just in too good a mood!
With that, Liu Fanglan headed cheerfully toward the kitchen. Since she was in such a good mood, she planned to make something nice to celebrate.
However, the man behind her clearly had no intention of letting her do as she pleased.
"Come here."
"What is it? Weren’t you just complaining last time that I didn’t make dinner on time? What, now you have a problem with me making it early?"
Though she talked back, Liu Fanglan still walked over to Luo Bin. She couldn’t help it. No matter how she acted on a daily basis, in this house, Luo Bin was the head of the family.
"Let me ask you, did you do something awful again?"
Luo Bin’s words made Liu Fanglan’s heart skip a beat, and then her face flushed with anger.
"What’s that supposed to mean? What do you mean, ’do something awful again’? In your eyes, is doing awful things the only thing I’m capable of?!"
"Am I wrong? Are you telling me the rumors going around the company today have nothing to do with you?"
When he’d first mentioned her doing something awful, Liu Fanglan had only felt a brief jolt. But after hearing this, her expression couldn’t help but change.
It was true she could be shameless, but that didn’t mean she had the ability to maintain a perfect poker face when confronted.
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
Liu Fanglan’s words held a faint trace of guilt.
’Initially, Liu Fanglan hadn’t thought she’d done anything that outrageous. She’d just spread a few rumors, that’s all. Besides, everything she said was true. What could anyone possibly do to her!’
But seeing the grave expression on Luo Bin’s face, Liu Fanglan couldn’t help but feel a growing sense of unease.
’Could it be... that there’s a real problem?’
Although Liu Fanglan hadn’t admitted it, her reaction confirmed Luo Bin’s suspicions.
’Nine times out of ten, those rumors really were her doing!’
"You... You foolish woman!"
Luo Bin stared at Liu Fanglan, all his fury coalescing into those words.
Liu Fanglan had been growing increasingly anxious and uncertain due to Luo Bin’s attitude. But after he hurled such an insult at her, she completely forgot to worry about whether she had actually done something wrong. Instead, his curse ignited her own fury.
