Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All

Chapter 703: Chapter 703: Hit the Nail on the Head

Any slipup could easily render all the efforts made thus far in vain.

Meanwhile, Li Bao’s life would surely become a complete mess.

This was something he neither wanted to see nor wished to happen!

Sometimes things happen by sheer coincidence, Director Song and Luo Yanqing were discussing the Wang Guilan family, unaware that outside the compound, a man and a woman were pleading with the guard at the gate to let them enter, claiming they were relatives of Luo Yanqing, specifically his brother and sister-in-law.

”I don’t know who you are, nor do I know your relationship with Comrade Luo. For now, please wait over there, I need to call Comrade Luo’s home to verify your claims.”

The guard glanced at the man and woman standing before him, saw them move aside, retracted his gaze, walked to the sentry box window, picked up the telephone handset, and dialed a number from a registry book.

”Hello, yes, I’m his mother-in-law. Comrade, you’re saying... alright, I understand, but I need to ask my son-in-law’s opinion. Yes, don’t let them in for now... Mhm, call back in ten minutes, alright, I’ll call my son-in-law right now.”

Cai Xiufen hung up the phone and took out a palm-sized phone book from the drawer of the coffee table. Then, she found the number for the research institute and dialed it. Soon after, the call was transferred to Director Song’s office.

After a brief exchange and clarifying the situation with Director Song, Cai Xiufen sat on the sofa, quietly waiting for Luo Yanqing to call back.

As time trickled by, several minutes passed, and the ringing of the landline broke the silence. Cai Xiufen picked up the handset, ”Hello, Yanqing, are you aware of what’s happening?

So... what do you plan to do then? Shall we invite them over to our house... alright, I understand, don’t worry at all, your mother is in good health. Just focus on your work. When Li Bao gets back, I’ll have her call you. Okay, that’s it, I’m hanging up now.”

After finishing the call with Luo Yanqing, Cai Xiufen put the handset back on the base when the landline rang again, which she suspected was the sentry box calling.

”... I’ve inquired, and my son-in-law is busy at work and can’t come back. He said...” After relaying Luo Yanqing’s wishes to the guard, the call ended, and Cai Xiufen went back to her own business.

Outside the compound.

”Comrade Luo is not at home, his family is not available to see you, please leave as soon as possible.”

”Why should we leave? We came to see Big Brother Luo, and if he isn’t home, can’t we go in and sit with our sister-in-law?”

”Comrade Luo’s family is not available to see you. If you continue to make a fuss, I will have to contact the police station directly.”

”You’re bullying us!”

Cui Shuicao’s face turned sour because the guard wouldn’t let her and Meng Xingsheng enter the compound, which made her grind her teeth in anger.

”Let’s go, if the police come, we might end up locked up.”

Tugging at Cui Shuicao’s clothing, Meng Xingsheng said gruffly, ”Later... we’ll come back when Big Brother Luo is home.”

”Spineless wimp! Tell me, what good are you?”

Cui Shuicao glared, swatting away the hand Meng Xingsheng had on her clothing, and stalked off angrily from the entrance of the compound.

Meng Xingsheng followed closely behind Cui Shuicao.

At the research institute.

In Director Song’s office.

”Didn’t I guess it?!”

Looking at Luo Yanqing, Director Song shook his head with a complex expression.

”I did not do as they wished.”

Luo Yanqing sat on the sofa, his face not looking very good.

Director Song: ”Do you think your brother and sister-in-law will easily go back to their hometown?”
