Leng Yuan glanced at Lu Yuanbin.
"What’s wrong?"
"Nothing," Lu Yuanbin huffed.
Leng Yuan believed him and stood up without hesitation. "Well, if it’s nothing, I’m heading back."
He was in a hurry to get back and have lunch with his wife, after all!
Lu Yuanbin was left speechless.
Seeing that Leng Yuan was really about to leave, he grew anxious.
"Brother Leng, do you know that Gu Jiaojiao is in love with soone else? She only married you to use you!"
Leng Yuan paused and looked at Lu Yuanbin. "Who told you that?"
"I found out myself. That Gu Jiaojiao has a bad character—she’s lazy and greedy. She’s not worthy of you at all! Did she threaten you into marrying her?"
Lu Yuanbin couldn’t believe that his brilliant and formidable Brother Leng would willingly marry such a woman.
’That woman must have used so kind of trick to force Brother Leng’s hand.’
Leng Yuan let out an exasperated laugh. "You think I can be threatened?"
Lu Yuanbin pouted. "Then I don’t get it, Brother Leng. Why did you marry her?"
According to what he’d heard, this Gu Jiaojiao had nothing but a pretty face and was useless in every other way. What was the appeal?
"Brother Leng, you should just divorce her. A woman like that is bad news."
Leng Yuan had just taken the venison out of his back basket. Hearing Lu Yuanbin’s words, he imdiately stuffed it back in.
"Since you feel that way, you surely wouldn’t want the at she asked to bring you. I might as well take it back!"
Lu Yuanbin, who had been bad-mouthing Gu Jiaojiao, instantly shut his mouth.
Then, in disbelief, he asked, "She asked you to bring it?"
’How is that possible???’
Venison! That was venison he was talking about!
It went for eight or nine yuan a catty on the black market, and people were fighting over it. Would Gu Jiaojiao really be willing to have her brother give so to him?
He had been worried that his future sister-in-law wouldn’t like him. This was because one of his younger guys was in a similar situation.
His parents had also passed away early, leaving the two brothers to rely on each other to survive.
Everything was fine at first. The older brother took care of the younger, and the younger was considerate of the older.
But then the older brother got married, and every ti he sent food to his younger brother, his wife would be unhappy.
That happened even between blood brothers, to say nothing of his own relationship with Leng Yuan.
’I’m no different from a freeloader.’
He had even made a point to ask around and found that what happened to his guy was extrely common!
Once the older brother gets married and starts his own family, he has to think about his own children. Naturally, he can’t always be helping out his younger brother.
At that mont, Lu Yuanbin’s heart had turned cold. That was why he’d wanted to get on his sister-in-law’s good side.
He had gone to great trouble to buy a gift, hoping to make a good impression on Gu Jiaojiao.
But before he could even give it to her, he heard people saying that his new sister-in-law was not a good person. He didn’t believe it at first, so he asked around himself. When he ca back, he’d changed his mind.
’I’m not giving her the gift.’
But now, his Brother Leng was saying that Gu Jiaojiao had told him to bring the at.
Uncertain, Lu Yuanbin asked again, afraid he had misheard.
"Brother Leng, you’re saying that Gu... my sister-in-law, asked you to give this to ?"
"Well, you don’t want it anyway. I’ll just take it back."
"Brother, I was wrong! I want it!"
Leng Yuan decided not to press him. "Forget it. You said yourself she isn’t a good woman."
Lu Yuanbin was speechless.
"No, no, no! I’m sure my sister-in-law must be a beautiful and kind-hearted woman!" he said with a fawning smile.
HEH HEH HEH!!!
Leng Yuan shot him a sidelong glance. "Next ti, worry more about your own business and less about gossip. None of it is reliable."
Lu Yuanbin scratched his head.
Leng Yuan took the at out for him and was about to leave. Lu Yuanbin tried to get him to stay for a al, but was refused.
"I’m in a hurry to get back and eat with your sister-in-law."
Lu Yuanbin was speechless.
Suddenly, the at in his hands didn’t seem so fragrant anymore!
After Leng Yuan left, Lu Yuanbin looked at the venison in his hands, lost in thought.
’Looks like I misunderstood Gu Jiaojiao before.’
Because of all this, Lu Yuanbin completely forgot to give him the fountain pen he had prepared.
He smacked his forehead.
’Brother Leng was right, my brain really hasn’t been working too well lately.’
After lunch, Lu Yuanbin had his subordinates notified. Ten bars of facial soap per person, and they were all distributed in no ti.
He had set the procurent price at one yuan and the selling price at one yuan and twenty cents!
This was soone his Brother Leng was protecting, so naturally, he had to take it seriously.
He personally explained the benefits of the facial soap and only let them go out to sell after making sure everyone understood.
