The head of security said, “Mr. CEO, I’ve been in the company for two years already. All of us call Shen Ying Madam CEO, and none of us have seen the real Madam CEO. You can’t blame me for not recognizing the real Madam CEO.”
The head of security challenged Lin Tianhui. He pointed out three problems: First, the company already had a Madam CEO; Second, the real Madam CEO hadn’t been to the company; Third, Lin Tianhui didn’t deny Shen Ying was not the real Madam CEO.
In short, as the head of security, he was not to blame.
Lin Tianhui’s face darkened. He was about to scold the head of security when Auntie Lin cut in, “That’s enough. You only know how to turn the blame on the innocent. Do you want to talk? Fine, let’s talk. I’ll be waiting at home at 7 pm.” She emphasized, “Lin Tianhui, if you don’t want to talk at home, then we’ll talk in court!” Auntie Lin turned and left.
Lin Tianhui looked at his wife and frowned. He felt that Huang Shiwen had changed. He looked at the boxes on the ground. He thought for a moment before picking them up.
Shen Ying walked over. She pleaded innocently, “Tianhui, I…” hadn’t done anything. However, Lin Tianhui ignored her and walked away.
This time, Shen Ying had crossed his bottom line. This was something he could not tolerate.
After Lin Tianhui left, his employees started to talk. Previously, they thought their CEO had no feelings for his wife. However, based on what happened earlier, it was the complete opposite. The Madam CEO couldn’t care less about the CEO, and the CEO was trying his best to salvage the situation.
Some shot contemptuous gazes at Shen Ying. The mistress was really shameless. She had the gall to order the guards to chase out the real Madam CEO when she was the fake one. Now that Shen Ying was caught red-handed, this would be a good show to watch.
Lin Tianhui ignored his employees’ discussions and gossips.
After he returned to his office, he opened the boxes. The fragrance of food assailed his senses. It cleared his mind. He picked up a tomato slice. As he chewed on the tomato, his eyes brightened with disbelief. He mumbled, “This is so delicious. I haven’t tasted Wenwen’s cooking for so long that I forgot how good they taste.”
He wolfed down all the food instantly. He had no idea his daughter had packed two person’s portion.
Lin Tianhui rubbed his bloated stomach and burped, “The best restaurant can’t compare to Wenwen’s cooking. Why did I waste all that money eating out?”
That night, Lin Tianhui returned home. He was served delicious food.
When Huang Shiwen tried to bring up the divorce, Lin Tianhui avoided the topic.
After that day, Lin Tianhui would make sure to come home every day to eat with his family. Auntie Lin was extremely puzzled.
However, Auntie Lin was insistent. When their daughter was not around, she would bring up the divorce. Lin Tianhui thus had to make sure their daughter had to be around always.
Auntie Lin didn’t want their daughter to know about their problem, so she had to let Lin Tianhui get away with it for now.
….
Xiao Lingyu, Xiao Lingye, and Mother Xiao had a big meal at the restaurant. Xiao Lingye grabbed another tomato and ate it until his stomach could not hold it anymore. He looked at the remaining six bright red tomatoes reluctantly.
Xiao Lingye asked, “Sis, these tomatoes are amazing. How did your friend from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences cultivate and grow them?”
The tomatoes smelled fresh and tasted heavenly. It could also energize the consumer.
Mother Xiao looked around and said, “How would your sister know that? Your sister is not from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences. Alright, we’re done eating. You should hurry back to school. Your sister and I are going home.”
Xiao Lingye nodded and said, “Okay!”
Xiao Lingyu said, “Ye ‘Er, I plan to start a small business in the county city, so I rented a house here. I’ll be busy for these two days, but two days later, I’ll bring you there to take a look. In the future, you can stay there.”
Xiao Lingye was stunned. He asked in surprise, “Sis, you plan to start a small business?” But she said she would only farm in the past.
Xiao Lingyu nodded, “Yes, I’m going to sell the products I farm. Things like the tomatoes you’re holding.”
“Sis, you’re going to be a vegetable vendor?” Xiao Lingye really could not keep up with his sister’s thoughts.
One day she was farming, another day, she was selling vegetables. His sister was filled with ideas.
“But Sis, that is going to be very difficult.” Xiao Lingye said worriedly. He was angry at Chen Ran because he had put his sister in this place. If not for the scumbag, why would his sister come back to start farming and selling vegetables?
Xiao Lingyu gently knocked Xiao Lingye on the head and said with a smile, “A little hardship is nothing. An easy life is no fun. Anyway, don’t worry too much about me. You need to focus on your study. Your exam is coming soon.”
Xiao Lingyu didn’t ramble on because she knew it would only increase her brother’s pressure.
…
Xiao Lingye carried a few tomatoes back to the dorm. When his roommates saw them, they jumped out of bed to snatch the tomatoes. Xiao Lingye was fast, but even so, in a blink, he only had two tomatoes left.
Xiao Lingye shouted angrily, “Give them back!” He rushed at his roommates.
Ning Weiyi immediately shoved the tomato into his mouth. Then, he widened his eyes and said in disbelief, “Wow, is this really a tomato? How can it be so delicious?”
The other two dodged Xiao Lingye and pressed the tomatoes into their mouths too. They were as captivated as Ning Weiyi by the taste.
When Xiao Lingye saw that his roommates had eaten his tomatoes, he cried out in grief. “My tomatoes, you bunch of thieves!”
Ning Wei, Yang Baolin, and Kang Le ignored Xiao Lingye’s wails and howls. The tomatoes soon disappeared down their stomach. However, they were not satisfied. They turned to look at the two tomatoes Xiao Lingye was holding.
Xiao Lingye’s heart thumped. He protected the tomatoes tightly. He looked at his roommates like they were crazy. “What are you guys doing?”
The three rubbed their hands, and they grinned sinisterly. “Xiao Lingye, are you going to hand them over yourself, or do you want us to pry them out of your dead hands?”
