Pay? Is that all? Liu Chun was greatly disappointed. That can't be! Would someone like you, who looks kind but has a black heart, be willing to suffer losses?

Liu Chun still recalled the bitter days of their youth. Hengyang may have taken good care of him on the surface, but wasn't he also the one to snitch on him to his parents?

Yes. It's that simple. Zhou Hengyang nodded seriously.

Before Liu Chun could respond, the telephone extension connected to the office rang. The call would ordinarily have been redirected to Hengyang's secretary at the reception office. It had to be something serious for Hengyang's phone to ring.

Zhou Hengyang paused but quickly answered the call.

Hello, I'm looking for Zhou Hengyang. Li Youcai did not know the entire factory belonged to Zhou Hengyang. He thought Zhou Hengyang had obtained his job at the factory after great difficulty. Su Wen had only said her husband was working to earn money for the family. She did not elaborate further.

Under normal circumstances, Su Wen would not have known that Zhou Hengyang owned the factory, and perhaps much more, since he never talked about his work.

Zhou Hengyang recognized Li Youcai's voice on the line, and he raised a brow in surprise, his lips curling in vexation.

This is Hengyang speaking.

Hengyang? That's great. I was looking for you.

What is it?

A long, drawn-out sigh sounded from the other end of the line. The mere thought of Su Wen and her antics caused Li Youcai to feel the beginnings of a headache. I know you just left, but Su Wen's gotten herself into trouble again.

When Zhou Hengyang heard this, his originally relaxed sitting posture immediately changed. He was like an elegant cheetah. When he was lazy and relaxed, he was not threatening at all, but the moment he was ready to pounce, he would erupt in incredible momentum and unstoppable force.

Liu Chun was secretly shocked but kept his expression neutral. He pricked his ears, sensing juicy gossip on the horizon.

What happened? Zhou Hengyang did not seem to notice the urgency in his tone.

Li Youcai recounted the matter faithfully. Afterward, he said, Hengyang, you should talk to Little Wen. She can't always be so willful. While you're away, the family is without a man at home. I don't know the family dynamics at home, but you should still speak to her. Perhaps away from prying ears? Although the matter concerning Grandma Gou Dan has been resolved, who knows whether something similar will happen again?

Zhou Hengyang's grip on his phone tightened. Village Chief, I don't think Su Wen did anything wrong.

I know Little Wen is in the right, but we must all know when to take a step back! Life is all about give and take. If she's too unbending, she'll break!

Zhou Hengyang could tell that the village chief was dissatisfied with Su Wen's handling of things and wanted him to return and look out for her.

Not long ago, he returned home to solve Su Wen's mess, and before he could do anything else, work demanded his attention, and he was forced to leave earlier than he expected. Surprisingly, he did not feel disgusted when he saw Su Wen then.

He thought of the girl that was so different from his earlier memories of her that he refused to listen to Li Youcai.

He would rather choose the current Su Wen, who was always up to mischief, than the previous Su Wen, which filled him with disgust and loathing.

Moreover, he believed that Su Wen was not in the wrong. She was not the one who started the trouble. Just because he was not around did not mean everyone could start bullying or making trouble for her. She already had it hard enough having to care for her six younger siblings!

Su Wen had amazing looks; others would covet her for themselves without anyone around to fend off the wolves.

Hengyang? Li Youcai had been listening to Zhou Hengyang and shouted in confusion.

I understand, Village Chief. How about this? I'll go back when I have time. You know I'm a live-in son-in-law, and Su Wen makes all the decisions in the family. I don't know if she'd listen to what I tell her.

Li Youcai was greatly relieved, having received Zhou Hengyang's promise.

Little Wen will listen to you. Su Wen always behaved like a mouse before a cat whenever Zhou Hengyang was around; there was no way she would not listen to him.

Zhou Hengyang ended the call. Nothing could be gleaned from his calm expression and dark eyes. He looked more handsome than ever, wearing that serious look. Even Liu Chun, who was always full of laughs, became serious.

What's wrong back home?

It's nothing. Zhou Hengyang regained his composure and shook his head. It's just some people are pushing their luck and taking advantage of my absence to cause trouble for Su Wen..
