Chapter 213: This Is Fate

When the people present heard Xiao Lingyu’s greeting for Chief Wang, they were shocked. “Is this a competition to see whose backing is bigger?”
One was openly flaunting her relationship with Leader Wang. The other revealed that she knew Chief Wang. Both of them had the surname Wang, so who was the more powerful backer?
Officer Li was not surprised by Xiao Lingyu’s greeting for Chief Wang. He said very seriously, “Miss Xiao, Chief Wang is on vacation. You can call Chief Wang directly should you need any help from him.”
Officer Li respected Xiao Lingyu, not because of her relationship with Chief Wang, but because she was a true hero. He admired an ordinary woman like Xiao Lingyu for being so courageous and knowledgeable.
Xiao Lingyu nodded and said, “Okay, thank you, Officer Li!”
Lei Zhenhu and Gu Qingjiao’s expressions were extremely ugly. Their faces were pale. They opened their mouths, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Gu Qingjiao gloated about her connection in the Labor Bureau, but now, the girl had a backer who was more powerful.
Then, they called the police on them. The boss and his wife were not afraid because as business people, they had to have connections with the police. They knew the section leader, but the girl knew the bureau chief!
They said they knew the people in the underworld, but the girl happened to know the boss of these gangsters from the underworld!
They really didn’t know what to do.
They had connections in the Commerce Bureau, but somehow they had a feeling Xiao Lingyu would know someone there who was more powerful than their backer.
After Lei Zhenhu saw this situation, he was stunned for a moment before he reacted.
He immediately ordered Gu Qingjiao. “Go and get 7000, no, 10000 and give it to Xiao Xinxin.”
When Gu Qingjiao heard that, she was shocked. She roared. “Why should we give the bitch so much money? The bitch…” Had caused them so much misery.
Lei Zhenhu immediately covered her mouth. He needed to stop her from offending more people, especially Xiao Xinxin’s sister. She was too powerful. Lei Zhenhu whispered into his wife’s ear. “Woman, you’re normally smart. How can you be so stupid now? Look at the powerful characters you’ve already offended! Go and get the money!
“All the powerful characters are here because of her. So what we need to do now is to appease her. Otherwise, you can stand here and watch our supermarket be shut down!”
Gu Qingjiao finally understood. However, taking out 10,000 was no different from asking to slice off a part of her meat. She said, “I’ll only give her 7000 RMB. 10,000 RMB is too much.”
When Lei Zhenhu heard this, he really wanted to slap her head. Their supermarket was about to be shut down but she was still stingy about the 3000 RMB. It was really infuriating.
He put on a straight face and shouted angrily, “Just follow my orders. Stop giving me so much nonsense!”
Gu Qingjiao gritted her teeth and went back to the shop. A moment later, she took out a stack of cash.
Lei Zhenhu could tell at a glance that the stack was not thick enough for 10000.
He asked with a dark face, “How much is this?”
“Eight thousand!”
“What’s wrong with you?”
Lei Zhenhu really wanted to slap her.
“Slap!” No, wait. He really slapped her.
Lei Zhenhu scolded loudly, “Bitch, how many times I’ve told you to treat our employees better. It looks like you never took my words to heart. I need to teach you a lesson today.”
Everyone, “…”
They were stunned by Lei Zhenhu’s actions.
Of course, after hearing what he said, the smart ones immediately understood what Lei Zhenhu was trying to do.
He wanted to shirk responsibility and push all the blame onto his wife.
Gu Qingjiao covered her slapped face and looked at Lei Zhenhu with a dumbfounded expression.
Then, Gu Qingjiao shouted angrily at Lei Zhenhu, “Lei Zhenhu, how dare you hit me!” She threw herself at Lei Zhenhu, “How dare you hit me? You’re going to teach me a lesson? I’m going to beat you to death first!”
Everyone, “…” Who has popcorn? Share some, please!
They were ganging up on others earlier, but now they had turned on themselves. This was very interesting!
Lei Zhenhu was usually afraid of this wife, mainly because of her family. De Wang Supermarket was opened by Gu Qingjiao’s family. It was also Gu Qingjiao’s family who had all the connections.
Because of this, Gu Qingjiao was always bossy, whether at home or outside. She pinched her husband’s ears before everyone, not giving him any face.
Everyone laughed at Lei Zhenhu for being such a wife-slave. However, Lei Zhenhu didn’t want to endure it anymore.
A country bumpkin caused them huge trouble. If they didn’t handle this well, the supermarket would be shut down, and they’d be in danger too. After all, they knew what they had done.
Xiao Xinxin, the bitch, had already reported them to the police. If the police investigated further, they would find out more crimes than just wage deduction.
The key person was Xiao Xinxin. Xiao Xinxin worked with them before, so she definitely knew some of the inside information about the supermarket. That was why Lei Zhenhu wanted to appease Xiao Xinxin.
However, his wife decided to act stupid and drag him down. Lei Zhenhu vented all the anger in his heart on his wife. In the past, no matter how Gu Qingjiao hit or scolded him, he did not retaliate. But now, it was different. Between the two of them, one of them had to take the blame.
Lei Zhenhu wouldn’t take the fall, so the blame had to go to Gu Qingjiao. People said hell has no fury on a woman scorned, but Lei Zhenhu proved that a furious man could be terrifying too!
Lei Zhenhu was quite heartless. When he hardened his heart, he could sacrifice his own family. He pushed Gu Qingjiao away and roared, “You venomous woman, I’ve tolerated you for a long time already. If you didn’t deduct the employees’ wages for no reason, would we be in this state now?”
Gu Qingjiao roared, “Lei Zhenhu, how dare you hit me? I want a divorce!”
Lei Zhenhu didn’t want to bother with Gu Qingjiao at all. He took the money he took from Gu Qingjiao and the 1,000 yuan in his bag and came before Xiao Xinxin. He said with full sincerity, “Xinxin, I’m sorry. You know that it’s normally my wife who runs this supermarket. I didn’t know that she’d be so ruthless.” Then he handed 9000 RMB to Xiao Xinxin. “Here’s 9000 RMB. Consider it compensation for all the bad things she has done to you. Do you think it’s enough? If not, I can give you extra.”
Xiao Xinxin looked at the pile of cash in front of her and was at a loss. She did not know if she should accept the money or not. She didn’t take the money but turned to Xiao Lingyu.
Xiao Lingyu walked over and said with a cold smile, “Boss Lei, you’re an interesting man. Earlier, you wanted to chase us away with 500 RMB like we were beggars but now you’re giving us 9000 RMB? Can we consider this a bribe?”
Lei Zhenhu was a little embarrassed by Xiao Lingyu’s sarcasm, but he managed to control his anger.
He smiled, but his stomach was burning with anger. He thought to himself. ‘Bitch, in the future, you’re going to regret going against me! But now, I have to focus on what’s important.’
He said with a stiff smile, “Miss, you sure like to joke. What bribe? This is just my compensation for Xiao Xinxin.”
Xiao Lingyu nodded and said, “Xinxin, in that case, you should take what you’re owed from Boss Lei and nothing more.”
Xiao Xinxin was owed 7000 RMB and not 9000.
Xiao Lingyu said sternly, “Boss Lei, we’re not here for the money. We’re here for justice.
“My sister, Xiao Xinxin, had worked in your supermarket for half a year. She came early in the morning and returned late at night. Yesterday was her last day of work and you had her work until 11.30 pm.
“Then you paid my sister 550 RMB, and that was her full salary for two months. But that’s not even the most outrageous thing. You threw my sister out with her luggage in the middle of the night. Where did you expect her to find a place to stay? If something happened to her, are you going to take responsibility?”
Xiao Xinxin counted 7,000 RMB and returned the rest of the money to Lei Zhenhu.
Lei Zhenhu apologized and said, “I’m sorry. My wife did something wrong. Xinxin, I apologize on behalf of my wife. Please forgive her, okay?”
Xiao Xinxin did not say anything.
Xiao Lingyu sneered, “You think everything is over with one apology? You and your wife have a lot of explaining to do to the people at the Labor Bureau and the police.” Then, she walked to Grandpa Zeng and smiled, “Grandpa, thank you so much. If it weren’t for your help, this wouldn’t be settled so soon.”
Then, she glanced at Zeng Yunbing, who had a dark expression on his face. “Grandpa, so you’re the father of the Labor Bureau’s Director. No wonder you said you could help me bring the evidence to the director. But, Grandpa Zeng, you’re not getting younger. You should leave the hard work to the young people.”
Grandpa Zeng said, “It’s fine. I’m good at fighting. Few young people can beat me.”
“Dad, you’re old. Can you stop fighting with others?” Zeng Yunbing said with a headache.
At this time, Zeng Yaozu said, “Grandpa, you should leave all the fighting to me instead!”
Chief Zeng was speechless.
Everyone, “…” They are really grandfather and grandson!
“Wait! It’s you!”
“It’s you!”
Xiao Lingye said the first while Xiao Xinxin said the second. It was clear that they were surprised to see Zeng Yaozu.
“You are Grandpa Zeng’s grandson?” Xiao Lingye asked to confirm.
Xiao Lingyu asked with slight doubt, “Brother, Xinxin, do you know Young Master Zeng?”
Xiao Xinxin’s face was pale, and her eyes were filled with fear and unease.
Xiao Lingye looked at Zeng Yaozu and said angrily, “Sis, this man was part of the biker gang from yesterday night!”
Xiao Lingyu, “…”
Zeng Yaozu, “…”
Zeng Yaozu wanted to cry.. ‘Now how am I supposed to clear my name?’
