Chapter 221: Chapter 222: Desperate Hearts are Crueler
“Damn, these youngsters really know how to have a good time, going at it right at the dinner table, so shameless.” The speaker was one of the underlings who used to hang around with Third Uncle Xu, entrusted by him to keep an eye on Yanran.
Third Uncle Xu, on Xu Ying’s orders, some inherently bad people, when driven to a corner, would crazily do even more terrifying things, so Xu Ying’s intention was to watch over Yanran and then see how she would ruin her life.
“Miss, may I ask if this is Captain Xu’s home?” Secretary Yang looked at Xu Jingjing, standing at the door full of curiosity, and when he saw Xu Jingjing turning her head and those lively eyes looking at him,
he suddenly felt short of breath, and a blush crept onto his face.
“Are you looking for my Great Uncle? What is it for?” Xu Jingjing asked curiously, her eyes also sizing up Secretary Yang.
“I, I am from the textile factory, our factory manager sent me to inform your great uncle that we are starting to hire for production, and we will soon deliver the sewing machines.” Secretary Yang stammered out his words.
Having said that, he cursed himself inwardly for being so pathetic, why couldn’t he speak clearly?
Mr. Xu just happened to come back from the workshop and heard what Secretary Yang said, his face breaking into a smile; his daughter proved to be far-sighted after all, urging them to start hiring early.
Ever since the village workshop started production, his daughter had him continue to build more workshops. That girl was really something, guessing everything correctly.
“I am Captain Xu, young man, what’s your name?”
Secretary Yang, startled by Mr. Xu’s voice, turned around to see a face full of authority, which made him even more nervous: “I am the secretary of the textile factory’s manager, my name is Yang Jun.”
“Nice to meet you, Secretary Yang, we have already taken care of the hiring, and we’ve also found a place for production. Now we just need your factory to deliver the sewing machines and materials.”
Mr. Xu stood with his hands behind his back, looking no less imposing than a high-ranking leader.
Especially when he thought about Xu Jingjing being his niece made Secretary Yang even more nervous.
That’s it, he had fallen in love at first sight, and she was Designer Xu’s sister, he wouldn’t be scolded by Designer Xu now, would he?
“Why are you staring at me!” Xu Jingjing, sensing this man constantly staring at her, suddenly felt nervous, glared at him, and huffily ran off.
What a Don Juan!
Mr. Xu raised an eyebrow, looking at Secretary Yang with a frown.
Worried about leaving a bad impression in front of the elder, Secretary Yang quickly explained, “I was just noticing she resembles Designer Xu, so I couldn’t help but take a few extra looks.”
After speaking, he looked somewhat guilty towards Mr. Xu, hoping he wouldn’t think he was attracted to Designer Xu.
“No, I just thought she was pretty, not that! I…” Secretary Yang felt more confused the more he explained, standing there on the verge of tears.
He could have slapped himself; indeed, beauty leads one astray.
Mr. Xu’s frown deepened even more.
Mrs. Xu, on the other hand, had been standing there for who knows how long, smiling as she took a good look at Secretary Yang and said with a laugh, “I’m not boasting, but the Xu family children are all good-looking.
No wonder you got transfixed; do you find Jingjing pretty?”
Mr. Xu’s face froze in shock; how could his wife speak like this, didn’t she see how improper this man was, boldly staring at his niece.
As a man, he clearly understood a man’s thoughts. His niece was like his own daughter, and the thought of her being coveted by someone else made him angry.

Mrs. Xu, however, had different thoughts compared to Mr. Xu. A girl eventually has to marry, haven’t you seen Jingjing’s mother recently worrying about her daughter’s marriage prospects?
She did think that this Secretary Yang was quite good. Being so young and working right by the factory director’s side surely meant he was somewhat intelligent.
She looked at Secretary Yang curiously, “Secretary Yang, how old are you, and is your family from the county?
What about your family? Who’s there and how old are they, and what do your parents do?”
Secretary Yang was not stupid and clearly understood Mrs. Xu’s intentions. He didn’t dare to be careless, “My family is from the county city. I’m 25 this year. My parents both work in the county city. One is a workshop director at a bakery, and the other is a manager on the first floor of the Department Store.
I also have a younger sister who is 18 this year and works at the Department Store.”
Mrs. Xu found his background quite acceptable, but she wondered why someone his age was still unmarried.
“You’re already 25, other people’s children at your age… How come you don’t even have a partner?”
Secretary Yang let out an awkward smile, “I don’t like matchmaking, and although I’m capable at my job, I get nervous and can’t speak when I meet young ladies.”
Mrs. Xu scrutinized him for a while, and seeing that he wasn’t lying, she was quite satisfied, “You’ve completed your task, you can go back now!”
Upon hearing this, Secretary Yang sighed in relief, “Then, ma’am, I’ll take my leave.”
“Hmm,” Mrs. Xu waved her arm in a dismissive gesture.
This lad was too timid. Since he liked her, why didn’t he try to get to know her? But these matters are all about fate. Sometimes what’s yours will still be yours after all is said and done. And if it’s not meant to be yours, even if you are together, you’ll still end up parting ways!
“Why are you talking so much with this lad!” Mr. Xu disapproved.
Mrs. Xu snorted, “Aren’t I just hoping he could be like you used to be?”
Back in the day, Mrs. Xu was the belle of the village, and Mr. Xu had taken a liking to her at first sight, love-struck as he was. He was also very timid at the time and didn’t dare to strike up a conversation.
It was Mrs. Xu’s keen eye that recognized a good man, so she went right up to him and started a conversation. It was only then that the two got together.
Mr. Xu, reminded of the past, had his lips curl up in a light smile.
“Dad, never thought it was mom who chased you back in the day!” Eldest Sister-in-law Xu walked over, teasing.
“If only it had been your mom chasing me, that’d have been great. All your mom did was come up and chat with me, giving me a hook, but it was still me who pursued your mom afterward!” Mr. Xu reminisced as if he had returned to his youth, his face filled with longing.
“Had I not thrown you a hook, you wouldn’t have dared to pursue me. If you hadn’t pursued me, we wouldn’t have our daughter,” Mrs. Xu said with a laugh.
Eldest Sister-in-law Xu, now thoroughly convinced of Xu Ying’s capabilities, joined in praising, “That’s right. If it weren’t for my little sister, the people of our village would be crying. Little sis is our village’s lucky star. Dad and Mom are the heroes who made her.”
Mrs. Xu enjoyed hearing this and couldn’t stop smiling.
Mr. Xu found the words a bit too heavy, but he was proud given his daughter’s capabilities.
Secretary Yang hurried out of the Xu residence, walked a good distance before he managed to catch his breath, nervously wiping the sweat from his forehead.
“What a wimp!”
“Ouch, watch where you’re going, open your eyes.” Xu Qingqing had heard about the big recruitment, and that the textile factory’s secretary had visited her uncle’s home.
Her uncle was at odds with them and was trying to obstruct her family, so she had to rush and mention it to the factory director’s secretary. She had a middle school education, after all; why shouldn’t she be able to take a small leadership position herself?
Why could other Xu family relatives do so, but not her?
