Chapter 242: Human greed knows no bounds; a snake trying to swallow an elephant

Yu's mother and a few others saw Yu Pengfei's facial expression constantly changing, knowing he had taken their words to heart, they couldn't help exchanging a glance.

Yu's second sister also realized she had just been too impatient; her younger brother is just a pliable donkey, everything needs to go along, so she immediately explained:

"Little brother, just now I spoke wrongly because I was anxious; I know Zhao Di is a good child, not so scheming, but I say this only because I'm afraid you'll be deceived."

People say in war, brothers are close; on the battlefield, father and son soldiers; no one is as reliable as one's own family.

No matter when, we are always the closest kin, and we will never harm you.

We truly treat Zhao Di as family, that's why we say this.

Yu Pengfei's little dissatisfaction had long vanished; hearing his second sister say that, and recalling their past hardships and how his several sisters had cared for and protected him, his eyes instantly reddened.

"Second sister, rest assured, I'll tell Zhao Di later; I believe she will surely understand your good intentions and be grateful for the brothers-in-law's help."

At this point, Yu Pengfei had been completely brainwashed by his own family; he didn't think there was anything wrong with what his sisters said.

Instead, he felt that his family, willing to go to the Li Zhaodi Factory to help without complaint, Li Zhaodi should be grateful.

Yu's third sister, upon hearing this, immediately said: "Me too, me too..."

Yu Pengfei immediately laughed and said: "Third sister, rest assured, I won't leave you out; you not only have a high school diploma, you're also good-looking, so joining the publicity department will definitely be fine."

Actually, Yu Pengfei didn't even know what the publicity department does; he thought it was just a bunch of people who dress flamboyantly every day, vases who take money but do no work—anyone could do this job, and his third sister could certainly do it.

With Yu Pengfei's assurance, Yu's mother and the daughters were instantly overjoyed.

Yu's mother, her face full of relief, said: "As long as I can see you siblings helping each other and making life better, even if I died, it would be worth it."

Yu's eldest sister immediately said: "Mom, don't say that; from now on we'll all have promising futures, we'll surely let you live a good life, and you'll definitely live to a ripe old age."

Yu's second sister also said: "Exactly, Mom, you'll also have to help Zhao Di manage the factory! She's young and doesn't understand many things, so she needs you to oversee things; you can't say such discouraging words."

Yu's mother, hearing this, instantly beamed with joy: "You're right; since this old body of mine is still useful, I can't die yet—I still have to help my little brother run the factory well, and watch him get married and have children!"

"Right..."

The Yu Family Three Sisters immediately echoed in agreement.

The atmosphere on the Yu family side was harmonious and warm; in their hearts, since Zhao Di had married into their family, everything should belong to them.

Even Yu Pengfei at this moment wore a look of relief; for so many years he had hoped to let his mother and sisters live well, and now this wish was finally about to come true.

On this side, Zhao Di was still pondering Su Ruo's words, unaware that some people were even greedier than what Su Ruo had said.

Zhao Di shut herself in her room for a day and a night, only coming out the next morning; she is a career-oriented woman, and no matter what, she cannot let anything interfere with her work.

At the dinner table, Zhao Di gathered her courage and said to Su Ruo and Xinya: "Master, Xinya sister, I know what you said yesterday was for my own good."

But I truly like Yu Pengfei, I feel he also sincerely likes me, so I still want to give us a chance; if in the end the facts really are as you said, at least I would have tried and would not regret it.

You can rest assured that in this process I will definitely protect myself and will absolutely not give anyone a chance to hurt me.

Zhao Di shed her previous lovestruck little girl demeanor; as she spoke these words, she bore the maturity and inward composure of a successful career woman.

Su Ruo and Bai Xinya knew that Zhao Di had already clad herself in armor.

They believed that no matter what greater setbacks or difficulties Zhao Di might encounter in the future, she could face them calmly.

So they stopped advising, because some things must be experienced personally, and some falls must be taken by oneself.

Perhaps rash, perhaps regrettable, but this is life; everyone's life is destined not to be smooth sailing, and no one's life will be only sweet.

If this is Zhao Di's choice, then they will surely respect her choice.

In the eyes of Su Ruo and Bai Xinya, Zhao Di saw encouragement and support, and instantly felt moved, tears welling up.

She knows her current decision might be foolish, but having received the support of her master and Bai Xinya, she truly feels happy.

Because Zhao Di knows that no matter what happens in the future, even if she encounters greater hardships, Su Ruo and Bai Xinya will always be by her side.

They are not family, yet they are even better than family; precisely because of this support and encouragement, Zhao Di can fear no wind or rain.

But this excited feeling, when Zhao Di came to the company and saw Yu Pengfei, immediately weakened somewhat.

Before, Zhao Di indeed liked Yu Pengfei very much, but now this liking seems to have been discounted.

She previously liked Yu Pengfei because being with him felt comfortable; she enjoyed his concern and care for her, a feeling she had never experienced before.

Earlier she had nothing, everyone looked down on her; later she achieved career success, and those around her feared and respected her, but only Yu Pengfei treated her as an ordinary little woman.

Zhao Di likes Yu Pengfei, but this liking is still far from enough to make her willingly take care of, or rather support, his entire family.

Yu Pengfei had already been waiting here for Zhao Di for a long time; as soon as she arrived, he eagerly walked over.

Yu Pengfei couldn't wait to tell Zhao Di the matter his family had discussed yesterday, but he immediately sensed that Zhao Di's mood was off, and the words on his lips were swallowed back.

Thinking of yesterday's matter, Yu Pengfei immediately grabbed Zhao Di's hand and nervously asked:

"Zhao Di, what's wrong? Was it yesterday that your master and they were dissatisfied with me? If I did something wrong, I can change; rest assured, I will definitely perform well and strive to make your friends and master like me."

Seeing Yu Pengfei like this, Zhao Di's heart softened a bit; looking at this pure and kind big boy before her, she really couldn't believe he would be as calculating as her master and they said.
