The Stepmother’s Counterattack: Raising a Child in a Bygone Era

Before Shen Mingzhu could open her mouth to question, Zhou Hui preemptively slapped the earrings down onto her office desk.

"Mingzhu, our families have a longstanding relationship, and I won’t beat around the bush. I hope you can manage your employees better. If there’s a next time, don’t blame me for not showing everyone mercy."

Shen Mingzhu motioned for Pei Qiuxia, who had followed her in, to leave first.

Once the office door closed, Shen Mingzhu picked up the earrings from the desk and shook them, "I have a hundred or so employees. Who are you referring to?"

"Whoever the earrings belong to, that’s who I’m referring to."

"This style is quite common; plenty of people wear them. On what grounds do you determine they belong to my employee?"

Zhou Hui snorted coldly, "Aside from Shen Hongmei, who else could have been in my Dafa’s car?"

"Even if it was Hongmei, what’s the problem? My sister and I have also ridden in Brother Zhao’s car. If one day we dropped something in Zhao’s car, would you suspect us too?"

Zhou Hui angrily said, "Mingzhu, that’s easy for you to say while you’re not in the hot seat. If one day you found jewelry in Pei Yang’s car, would you still be as calm as you are now?"

"If I encountered such a situation, I would first get to the bottom of the facts, rather than coming over solely based on suspicion. Sister Hui, forgive my bluntness, but by doing this, you’re not only showing distrust towards Brother Zhao, but you’re also hurting Hongmei’s character."
