Chapter 754: Whether This Kinship Is Acknowledged Depends Entirely on My Father's Will

~5 min read 876 words

Because Grandpa Xiao had just returned from out of town last night and needed rest.

Liu Chuxue decided to return to the village early on her own to give her family a heads-up and let her parents prepare, especially since her mother was currently pregnant.

The Xiao family naturally understood.

Fortunately, the day after tomorrow was the weekend; she planned to finish her official business tomorrow morning and slip away in the afternoon.

Although she had mentally prepared herself, the actual confirmation still carried too much impact.

Grandpa Xiao, her own paternal grandfather, was also an old revolutionary; although he had stepped down from a high position, he still lived in the compound.

Her eldest uncle, Xiao Changjiang, was the deputy director of the Railway Bureau in the capital city; her eldest cousin, Xiao Wancheng, was a railway police officer; and his wife, Jiang Limin, happened to work in the same factory as her future mother-in-law and was even a colleague, both being accountants.

By the time she returned to the factory, it was already late, but such incidents were bound to happen to someone in the department, and the section chief would not deliberately make things difficult for anyone.

As soon as she arrived at the office, she went straight to Sister Hong: "Is there anything else to handle?"

Sister Hong handed her a report directly: "Take a look; can you finish it before getting off work?"

Liu Chuxue glanced through it: "There should be no problem."

Sister Hong was busy with her own work: "Alright, then I'll leave this report to you. We must submit it to the section chief before getting off work, as the factory leaders will use it in tomorrow's meeting. Be extremely careful; absolutely no mistakes are allowed."

After acknowledging, Liu Chuxue hurried back to her desk and focused intently on completing the report.

Relying on her powerful memory, she finished the entire report half an hour before getting off work and carefully checked it at least three times, finding no issues.

Seeing that Sister Hong had finished her work, she said: "Sister Hong, I'm done. Please check it for me again."

After Sister Hong took it and examined it carefully: "No problem."

She then took the one she had prepared, stood up, and handed both over to the section chief.

Not knowing what she had said, the section chief smiled and glanced outside.

A moment later, Sister Hong walked over: "The section chief just praised you."

Saying this, she sat back at her workstation, but still turned around to tell Liu Chuxue: "Your mind is naturally suited for this line of work. If someone else had to complete that report, they would probably have to work overtime until very late tonight."

After finishing, she even gave Liu Chuxue a thumbs-up.

Liu Chuxue, however, smiled and said: "It's just because my teacher taught me well."

Just as the two finished interacting, the bell for getting off work rang.

As soon as Liu Chuxue went downstairs, she saw Fu Yan Cheng standing not far away: "Are you done with your work?"

Fu Yan Cheng pointed to the area under a tree not far away: "I was passing by and came to tell you; for these next few days, absolutely do not be alone."

Upon hearing his words, Liu Chuxue immediately understood: "Jiang Huiwen has someone behind her, right?"

Fu Yan Cheng did not expect his own fiancée to be so smart; he had barely started, and she had already grasped the consequence: "Yes. I was just afraid that those people might have already received the news. If the incident on that day gets leaked, I fear they might act out of desperation and take revenge on you."

Although Liu Chuxue had means to protect her life, she did not dare to be arrogant, but what concerned her most now was her family: "What about my family? What if they..."

Before she could finish speaking, Fu Yan Cheng took over: "Rest assured, we have thought of this as well. We have already dispatched people to protect you incognito nearby, and we have even sent people to guard your eldest sister and youngest sister."

"Then I feel relieved."

After he finished speaking, Liu Chuxue recounted the events of the day to Fu Yan Cheng, after all, he already knew her father-in-law was not a true member of the Liu family, and it was precisely because of investigating his background that more information was dug out from Jiang Huiwen's mouth: "Truly unexpected; such coincidence. It seems it was indeed fate guiding things from above."

Otherwise, how could it be that you and Xiao Wanxia happened to work in the same factory, became roommates and friends with her younger sister-in-law, and you also happened to go to Xiao Wanxia's maiden home?

Congratulations on finding your true family."

Liu Chuxue nodded lightly: "Thank you, but whether we acknowledge this kinship or not depends entirely on my father's will. Even if we do acknowledge each other, I'm afraid my father will not leave the village; it would just mean gaining another relative."

Fu Yan Cheng reached out and brushed the wind-tousled stray hairs behind Liu Chuxue's ear: "Yes, regardless of the outcome, we should respect Uncle's choice."
