Chapter 434: You Must Be Curious Why I Came to Find You

~4 min read 698 words

Liu Jiandong was becoming increasingly interested in Ding Surong; recently, this Ding Zhiqing's father had come over wearing a Zhongshan suit with four pockets, a fountain pen tucked in the upper pocket, clearly a cadre, and now a friend had arrived in a car to visit her. If he married her, would he too be able to soar to great heights relying on his wife's family?

Since there was no hope for the adoption matter with the Second Branch for now, it was better to seize the opportunity right in front of him.

And Qi Shufang, who had entered the room, did not beat around the bush with Ding Surong: "You must be curious why I came to find you, right?"

Ding Surong had thoroughly inherited her own father's ways and was a sycophant: "Sister Shufang, just give the order for whatever you need, and I will definitely do my utmost to handle it well for you."

Her own father had said that those items were probably taken by others; specifically, whether someone had stumbled upon them by accident or, like them, had come looking to take them specifically, was still unknown for now.

Now, the meaning of her staying here was gone; if she helped Qi Shufang with matters, then after things were done, with the Qi family's ability to arrange a job transfer for her back to Huicheng, it would be a piece of cake.

Thinking about the matter, Ding Surong took an enamel mug, poured a cup of water, and handed it to Qi Shufang: "Sister Shufang, have some water."

Qi Shufang did not take the water being handed over but spoke directly: "Is there a girl named Liu Chuxue in Liushu Village?"

Hearing the question, Ding Surong looked puzzled: "How do you know her?"

"Don't ask how I know her, just tell me, do you know her, and are you close to her?"

Ding Surong coughed lightly: "Actually, the house I am living in now used to belong to Liu Chuxue's family."

"The house was hers, so where is her family?"

"Her family built another house and moved out."

Seeing Qi Shufang's changing expression, Ding Surong asked uncertainly: "Did she offend you?"

Hearing the question, Qi Shufang slightly composed her expression: "Yes, I came today specifically to have you find a way to ruin her reputation; after things are done, I will have my family find a way to transfer you back to Huicheng."

Ding Surong's mind spun with thoughts, and she deliberately said: "Ruining her reputation, this matter might be difficult, after all, she is not often in the village now."

"Not in the village, didn't she graduate?"

"She did graduate, but she is capable; the whole village is spreading that she got a job in the city."

"What, she actually found a job in the city?"

Before Ding Surong could reply: "Where does she work?"

Seeing her like this, Ding Surong said: "It seems to be the Rolling Steel Mill, and I heard she even sits in an office."

She did not associate with the villagers in her daily life, nor did she live with the people at the Zhiqing station; it was only today during work that she heard them mention it, so the actual situation was truly unclear.

Qi Shufang's expression was even worse now: "Have you ever had dealings with her?"

Ding Surong nodded: "Not very close, but at that time, for the sake of renting the house, we did have dealings, but later the Liu family took back the house, so the matter of renting the house meant no further contact with her."

"What do you mean by that?"

Ding Surong then recounted everything she knew about the Liu family: "That is the situation; Liu Chuxue's father cut ties with the old Liu family, and now there is basically no contact."

Hearing this, Qi Shufang actually had a smile on her face, though the calculation in her eyes was visible to anyone.

Ding Surong couldn't help but shiver, and couldn't help but wonder in her heart: Liu Chuxue was truly unlucky; after struggling from the countryside to the city, how did she happen to offend the Qi family?
