Yu Lian readily agreed, but the matter of the raw material factory still needed to be considered in the long run, as it was not something that could be implemented just like that.

She is happy to provide employment opportunities for local people and is also willing to help people in her hometown who have been affected by disasters.

Ning Su was very excited, and the two chatted for the entire afternoon.

With time running out, Ning Su left first. He needed to go back and make preparations, and once he had raised enough funds, he would return to Yuncheng for disaster relief.

When it was time to leave work, Yu Lian went downstairs as usual, only half an hour later than Ning Su.

As soon as I stepped out of the building, before I could even react, a person suddenly rushed up to me, intending to attack me. Fortunately, the security guard at the entrance reacted quickly and tackled the person to the ground.

A pale-faced woman with disheveled hair looked her up and down with a hateful gaze.

It was rush hour, and Yu Lian didn't want irrelevant people to affect the company's image, so she had someone take her to the small lounge on the first floor for questioning.

"Ma'am, please explain yourself clearly, or I'll call the police."

The woman sneered angrily: "Go ahead and report me if you dare. I'm not afraid. I'm not seducing other people's husbands."

Yu Lian sensed something was wrong and realized the other person had mistaken her for someone else.

"I'm sorry, you must have the wrong person."

"You're the one I'm looking for! Don't think you can seduce my husband just because you have a few bucks! If he really divorces me, I'll jump off your company building! I'll plaster the whole city with posters exposing your dirty deeds, and I'll haunt you even as a ghost!"

Yu Lian nodded slightly and put down her teacup: "This tea is good. Tell the logistics department to change the tea in the upstairs lounge and meeting room to this kind as well."

"Okay, boss."

Just as Ye Shaoqing, who was being completely ignored, was about to have another hysterical outburst and even try to smash things, a childish voice rang out: "Auntie, let's go home."

Ye Shaoqing's expression changed instantly when she recognized the visitor as her nephew, Chi Xiao.

But Chi Xiao wasn't fooled. He bowed deeply to Yu Lian and apologized, "I'm sorry, Auntie. My aunt is sick. Please forgive her."

Yu Lian finally understood the relationship between the characters—this was Ning Su's wife.

The two's relationship had clearly broken down, otherwise she wouldn't have disregarded her image and come to the company to cause trouble.

Two adults followed behind Chi Xiao, who looked like a nanny and a driver. The two went forward and took Ye Shaoqing away, but Chi Xiao stayed behind.

His eyes were red and teary as he looked at Yu Lian: "Auntie, please don't tell my uncle about this, okay?"

"Why can't you tell him? Are you afraid they'll argue?"

Chi Xiao lowered his head, his voice choked with sobs: "My...uncle wants to divorce my aunt, but my aunt refuses...she always feels that he's having an affair...she used to frequently cause trouble at his company, but later my parents wouldn't let her in, so she followed my uncle and made a scene at dinner parties and drinking parties..."

Chi Xiao recounted his family's decline in a halting manner.

Because my aunt acted unreasonably regardless of the situation, she offended a big boss, causing the company to struggle.

At that time, his parents also had many conflicts. His father felt that marrying a wife had brought with it a "plague," and the two argued a lot, even to the point of divorce. Unfortunately, his father then fell ill. Although he recovered after treatment, he needed to rest for a long time.

It was Ning Su who stepped forward and took over this mess.

Chi Xiao's parents live in a quiet courtyard in the suburbs. They occasionally return to the company to oversee things and rarely pay attention to him.

Now that Ning Su wants to divorce Ye Shaoqing, only the two of them, aunt and nephew, are left in the house. When they go back, there is only an empty house.

Over time, Chi Xiao started doing things that attracted attention at school, and fighting and causing trouble became the norm.

But it was always his aunt's husband who came to the school to deal with it, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

"My aunt has no children and has always been very kind to me, but she would never act like this in front of me. She's a very good person, she's just afraid of losing my uncle. Auntie, please, don't tell my uncle."

"Okay, but this is a one-time exception. Do you understand what I mean?"

"Yes, I understand. I promise Auntie won't come again."

Chi Xiao stood up, bowed again in apology, and then quickly ran out the door.

Yu Lian also got up and left, instructing the security guards to be highly vigilant towards this person in the future.

She believed in Chi Xiao's promise, but she was even more afraid of someone who was trapped in emotions and had lost his mind.

……

Back home, Yu Lian called her father. Yu Jinbu fully agreed with Ning Su's suggestion and the results of their initial discussion, and even wanted to take the lead himself.

Yu Lian happened to be busy with other matters, so she readily agreed. Although her father-in-law occasionally made minor mistakes, she always recognized his work ability.

He cares more about anything that benefits his hometown than anyone else.

When the charitable foundation was established, he was the first to raise his hand in support, demonstrating his unwavering commitment.

When Yu Lian brought up the matter at the dinner table, He Lin pressed her for several details.

"You're asking so many questions, do you want to join too?"

Yu Lian never interfered with He Lin's company's plans, focusing only on her own affairs.

However, investing in projects that benefit the people is more secure with the participation of a strong investor.

"Okay, but I need to investigate this matter in person before making a decision."

Yu Lian was somewhat surprised. The incident at the farm was still fresh in her mind, and she thought He Lin would be somewhat influenced by personal feelings.

"I'm not forcing you. If you don't want to, I fully support you."

"Of course I'm willing. Yuncheng is where I was born and raised. Putting aside personal feelings, I have no complaints about it, and it's only right to give back appropriately."

With He Lin joining, she can completely relinquish her responsibilities as the manager.

"Really? Then I'll have to trouble you with these, darling~"

Yu Lian placed the document in the empty space next to him.

"Darling~ Mom is just like my sister."

When her son suddenly complained about her, Yu Lian reached out and gently tugged at his little ear: "How's Mommy?"

"Hehe...that's right, she only acts cute when she needs something from others, which is something Mom doesn't usually do."

He Lin picked up the document and nodded in agreement: "Sui Sui is right, you should change."

"Hmph, I'm proud to look like Mom! You brat, don't you dare bully Mom!"

He Ningxi's mouth was still bulging with unswallowed rice.

"Hmph, I'm more like Mom, you're more like Dad!"

"I'm not like Dad! You are!"

He Lin: ...

Yu Lian looked at his cold face and laughed until her stomach hurt: "You got all cocky, now you've fallen for it."

Instead of getting angry, He Lin suddenly leaned close to her ear and whispered, "If you don't fall in the mud, I'll nibble on you later."

Yu Lian almost spat out the water she had just drunk, and pushed the person away, saying, "Go away, you're never serious..."

She got up to go walk the dog: "Oh, by the way, you guys clean up the kitchen and dining room before you come over, there's some good news to announce in a bit."

The children, who had originally planned to go off and play on their own, immediately began to tidy up, and He Lin was also pulled in.

In their excitement at wanting to hear the good news, they accidentally broke two plates.

He Lin looked at his children helplessly: "Alright, get out of here. Be careful of the broken pieces, I'll clean them up."

"Yay! Thank you, Dad!"

Only on occasions like this would the two little ones willingly thank him.
