Chapter 256 Communication Failure
After using it, Lin Yi's face suddenly turned cold.
Han Xuemei thought she had finally earned Lin Yi's sympathy, pitying that she was about to have a big fight with Han Xuewei, right?
"Lin Yi, brother, please don't be angry, and certainly don't quarrel with Han Xuemei because of me..."
Seeing this, Han Xuemei wanted to intensify the misunderstanding between them, but Lin Yi interrupted her as he spoke.
"You don't think I'm going to argue with my wife because of you, do you? You're really giving yourself too much credit. Even if my wife really did what you're suggesting, how would that be? It could only mean you've done something to make her mad. Han Xuemei, it seems I've already warned you yesterday, haven't I? Don't play these petty tricks, they really don't cut it in front of me."
Originally, Lin Yi had intended to give Han Xuemei a chance, but who knew she'd try to drag Han Xuewei down with her?
She was utterly ungrateful. She had been able to drag this out until now only because Han Xuewei and Dad Han had been covering for her.
Otherwise, Han Xuemei would have already fired her and tossed her out to fend for herself.
"It's not like that, Brother Lin Yi!"
Han Xuemei suddenly panicked. Why had it turned out this way?
If it were any other man who heard what she had said, the normal reaction should have been to question Han Xuewei and then have an argument with her, right?
Why was Lin Yi still so steadfast in his trust for Han Xuewei and instead turned to accuse herself?
Jealousy began to swell immensely within Han Xuemei's heart.
Why had such a good man set his sights on Han Xuewei? Where did she fall short?!
Fearing she couldn't control her facial expressions, Han Xuemei quickly lowered her head.
"Han Xuemei, the chance I gave you seems to be wasted on you. You shouldn't have dragged Han Xuewei into this. You should know how much I treasure my wife. I was planning on playing along with your nonsense for a while longer, but you're like a wolf that can't be tamed. Dad Han and Han Xuewei have been so good to you, yet you insist on hurting them both.
To be honest, someone like you shouldn't be employed by any company, or even exist in this world."
Your journey continues on empire
Lin Yi snorted coldly, having said all he wanted to say, and stood up ready to leave.
But Han Xuemei suddenly stood up, as if about to explode.
"What right do you have to say that about me? Lin Yi, what do you know anyway? You talk about that old man and Han Xuewei being good to me, but where is their goodness? That old man only cares about his daughter, he should be nicer to me!"
Han Xuemei vented the anger in her heart, but all of these issues stemmed from her own distortions.
The men nearby who had originally felt sympathy for her now displayed expressions of disgust on their faces.
It was clear that this woman was to blame, yet she turned around and shifted all the responsibility onto others.
"Enough! Han Xuemei, you really should be grateful I don't hit women. This is my final warning to you, if you continue like this, I can only tell you, I will take back everything you have, after all, none of it was truly yours in the first place."
Lin Yi gave her a cold look, then quickly walked away.
Being in the same place as this woman made him feel as though he'd tainted himself.
He was anxious about how his beloved was doing now and hurried back to school to have lunch with Han Xuewei.
It was already this time, had Han Xuewei eaten yet?
Upon reaching the school, Lin Yi immediately went to the faculty cafeteria.
Seeing Han Xuewei sitting there eating alone, he felt relieved.
But the next second, Mo Jihua walked straight up to her with a tray in hand.
Lin Yi's expression turned cold instantly, and he quickly approached.
"There's nobody here, right? Can I sit here?"
"Ah?"
"No way! Who says there's no one here? Her husband, well, here I am! Teacher Mo, you should go eat somewhere else. After all, we, as a couple, would like to have some quality time together."
Lin Yi suddenly appeared beside Han Xuewei, giving her quite a scare.
Her face was filled with surprise, as she had thought that Lin Yi wouldn't be coming for lunch today.
But regarding the incident just now, she hoped that Lin Yi wouldn't misunderstand; she had intended to refuse!
"Since your husband is here, I'll take my leave. Enjoy your meal," said Teacher Mo, his smile unwavering as he picked up his things and left.
The surrounding students were thoroughly enjoying the spectacle, barely able to contain their amusement.
"The possessiveness of Teacher Han's husband is something else!"
"Honey, you're just eating this for lunch? Haven't I told you not to shortchange yourself at noon and to eat well?"
Han Xuewei was all prepared for Lin Yi to start nagging her about the interaction with Mo Jihua.
Unexpectedly, Lin Yi didn't mention it.
Instead, upon seeing what Han Xuewei was eating, he scolded her for not eating more meat and consuming too many vegetables instead.
This was no way to get proper nutrition!
"Hubby, don't be mad, I just didn't have much of an appetite since you couldn't join me for lunch today. I only wanted something simple. But now that you're here, I feel hungry again. Could you grab me some more food?"
With one act of coquetry toward Lin Yi from Han Xuewei, he was powerless to resist.
He patted Han Xuewei's head and then went to get her more delicious food, all of which were her favorites.
Just like that, the two of them spent the entire lunchtime showering each other with affection in the canteen.
When it was time for her to go teach, the two were reluctant to part.
"Don't worry, as soon as you finish work, I'll come pick you up and we'll go home. Try not to miss me too much during class," Lin Yi said.
It was hard for him to say goodbye to his wife so soon after just seeing her; Lin Yi felt genuinely challenged.
He regretted agreeing to meet with that woman at noon; otherwise, he could have spent more time with his wife.
"Stop talking nonsense and get going; I have to get to class. I'll call you when I'm done," said Han Xuewei, her face flushed from Lin Yi's teasing as she quickly walked into her classroom.
Lin Yi flashed a smile at the students inside before turning to leave.
All these students were his informants; he still needed them to keep an eye on Teacher Mo for him.
After leaving the school, Lin Yi headed to the plot of land he had recently acquired.
The land was vast, and Lin Yi planned to build his own pharmaceutical factory there, which would also serve as his future company.
No sooner had the idea struck him than Lin Yi began reaching out to manufacturers.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
At that moment, the system issued a new task.
"Please address the matter of Han Xuemei swiftly; do not prolong it. Ultimately expel Han Xuemei from the house, with a random pill as the reward."
