My CEO Baby Daddy Keeps Falling for My Tricks-Chapter 847 - 858 Pink News

Lin Xiangwan was once again praised by the masses at the grassroots level, greeted with cheers.

Even a security guard uncle who worked at a hotel recognized her, excitedly saying, "Miss, I know you, you’ve treated me to a meal before!"

Lin Xiangwan stared at the security guard uncle in confusion, utterly baffled. She didn’t know him at all, how could she have possibly invited him to dinner? "I’m sorry, you must have mistaken me for someone else, I haven’t treated you to a meal!"

The uncle insisted, pointing at her with conviction, "Of course I haven’t mistaken you, miss, I really remember you. Do you recall? It was about last year, you treated a group of construction workers who hadn’t been paid to a meal!"

Lin Xiangwan suddenly realized. "Yes, I remember you now, you were their leader!"

The man nodded. "Yes, I was their leader!"

Lin Xiangwan looked at him in surprise. "You’re a security guard now? Didn’t you get the money you were owed before?"

She glanced at Qin Muchuan, who was the one who hadn’t paid the workers back then.

The security guard uncle didn’t recognize Qin Muchuan, so he said loudly, "Hmm, the boss of Huatai was quite good. When he heard we hadn’t been paid, he didn’t hesitate to give us our wages. I heard that the big boss of Huatai had already paid the contractor, but that contractor’s boss was inhumane and didn’t pay us!"

"Oh, so the boss of Huatai is not bad!" Lin Xiangwan muttered to herself, not really intending for others to hear; she mainly said it for herself.

The security guard uncle nodded repeatedly. "Isn’t it? If not for the boss of Huatai who paid us, we really wouldn’t have been able to get our wages! If that were the case, I wouldn’t have been able to make the down payment for my son’s house, and his wife definitely would have run off. Now it’s different, the down payment is made, and we bought a house from Huatai, the boss even gave us an eighty-five percent discount, and we had a higher down payment ratio, so now the pressure to repay is less."

"Mmm hmm!" Lin Xiangwan nodded, genuinely happy for the uncle. "Buying a house, having a son get married, these are good things!"

"Exactly!" The uncle became chattier, not even caring about eating anymore. "Now I just work here every month, earn some money, and help my son with the mortgage. Actually earning a bit of money from working is not bad, now there are fewer construction projects, and getting jobs has become more difficult, but all in all, it’s pretty good now!"

Lin Xiangwan left with a smile, and Qin Muchuan also took a moment to feel a little pleased with himself.

"Hmph, some people still see you as the good guy!" Lin Xiangwan scoffed, looking down on him. "You members of the exploiting class!"

"What? Wife, it seems like you’re not quite satisfied with me!" Qin Muchuan asked.

"Dissatisfied? Yes, of course, I’m dissatisfied. Tell me, who worked for you, and who should have been paid—don’t you even know that? Letting those who worked extra for you not get paid, what kind of boss are you? Moreover, you eventually gave them the money, but that’s what you were supposed to do. Why should they be so grateful? And even if they are grateful, you shouldn’t take it for granted, okay?" Lin Xiangwan shot him a glance. freewebnσvel.cøm

Qin Muchuan felt aggrieved. "Are you saying that what I did was wrong? Then tell me, what would be the correct way?"

Lin Xiangwan thought for a moment and argued irrationally, "How do you think it should have been done? Should you even have to ask me? Do you think you ought to?"

"Oh, alright, I was wrong, I admit my mistake!"

"Good that you know it!"

Qin Muchuan pressed on. "Beauty, have you done anything wrong?"

"Me? What have I done wrong?"

"Look at you, I said we shouldn’t introduce dad to new people, but you insisted on doing it, and now look at the mess! Dad is angry, and I don’t know if mom will be too!"

Lin Xiangwan considered it seriously. "If mom gets angry, wouldn’t that be too good, indicating that dad is still in her heart—she just doesn’t want to admit it?"

Actually, before Lin Xiangwan even got home,

rumors spread on the internet and through the media that a certain city committee leader met with a young and beautiful woman in an intimate manner during a meeting, and their gazes were affectionate. The news was accompanied by photos, yet due to the angle, the woman’s appearance wasn’t captured on camera.

This scandalous story immediately caused an uproar online, and Lin Lijun was taken away by the Commission for Discipline Inspection for an investigation that very afternoon!

Zhang Hua cried in her room, fuming, "Good for you, Lin Lijun, claiming you love me all the time, always trying to take advantage of me, and yet this is how you treat me!"

When Lin Xiangwan saw the news, it was already evening, so when she got home, she looked at her mother with concern. "Mom, don’t be angry, I think there must be some misunderstanding. Dad definitely hasn’t betrayed you..."

Zhang Hua didn’t give her daughter a chance to speak and scolded fiercely, "What misunderstanding? It was a misunderstanding years ago, and it’s still a misunderstanding now? Why do so many misunderstandings happen with this man? I don’t believe it!"

Lin Xiangwan stared at her mother, stunned. "Mom, you’re so angry, could it be explained as you still having feelings for dad? You’re just unwilling to admit it verbally?"

Zhang Hua immediately hid her emotions. "What are you talking about? Why would I like your dad, and why would I refuse to admit it? I just think this man handles things so unreliably, causing such a scandal, isn’t that embarrassing for you?"

The more mother explains, the more it sounds like she’s covering up, Lin Xiangwan said cheerfully. "Mom, don’t take it too seriously, I don’t think there’s anything shameful about dad to investigate!"

"Don’t speak for your dad!"

"I’m not, I just think my dad is quite lonely, him having a woman to take care of him naturally is a good thing. It’s just a scandal, after all, I think there’s nothing my dad can be investigated for!"

"Hmph!" Zhang Hua grew angrier, "It looks like you really support your dad. So what kind of stepmom do you want for yourself? Tell me!"

Lin Xiangwan described clearly, "My dad just wants someone like you!"

Zhang Hua’s cheeks flushed instantly, "Like me?"

"Mmm-hmm..." Lin Xiangwan glanced at her mother, secretly thrilled. "Mom is a great beauty, there really aren’t many like you, so it’s quite hard to find one!"

"..." Zhang Hua felt unsettled.

"I actually wanted to find a girlfriend for dad too, but it’s been hard to find one. Oh, I just glanced at the photo, and this woman looks quite good! She’s tall and thin, not going to lie, mom, she even resembles you a bit!"

Before coming to see her mother, Lin Xiangwan had even changed into a different outfit.
