Chapter 119 - 30 The Woman You Can’t Afford to Offend_2
—— At that point, he still believed it was his own mother making unreasonable trouble!
Mrs. Liu was desperate at the time, and it wasn’t until later that the elderly lady who had initially referred Xu Jie to work at her son’s company came up with a solution—she had her son fire Xu Jie on the grounds of betraying company secrets. From then on, Xu Jie’s life plunged from heaven to hell. He repeatedly faced setbacks when looking for work. Within a month, his girlfriend grew increasingly distant from him and eventually moved on to someone better, leaving him behind.
At this juncture, having freed themselves from the clutches of a scheming White Lotus, Lin Xiaoguai and others also believed that the matter was settled, and that Mrs. Liu and Xu Jie could now return to normal life.
Unfortunately, life is unpredictable. After a series of blows, even though Xu Jie learned the truth and was rehired by his original company, he could no longer pull himself together. He kept making mistakes at work, to the point that his immediate superior, no longer able to tolerate it, fired him.
Right up until Lin Xiaoguai’s rebirth, Xu Jie was still living in a drunken stupor.
Although Lin Xiaoguai had not encountered any other White Lotuses besides Jiaxue, the impression left on her was indeed... In her eyes, the White Lotus was simply a human weapon of mass destruction!
By nightfall, just before the unease in Lin Xiaoguai’s heart was about to erupt, Wu Ermei finally visited as planned.
"Shen Chi is here too." Wu Ermei smiled at Shen Chi, who had opened the door for her. She entered the house and, as if struck by a thought, stopped Shen Chi, who was about to leave the room for her and Lin Xiaoguai and go take a shower: "Wait, Shen Chi, you stay and listen as well."
Shen Chi looked somewhat bewildered, and seeing Lin Xiaoguai a bit unsettled, he sat down beside her and reassuringly patted her shoulder.
Wu Ermei took a seat opposite the couple and began directly, "Today, I was planning to discuss Hu Fangfang with you."
