Chapter 666 - 696: Good People Are Rewarded

Then again, Shen Zhengfeng and Li Xiaomei weren’t exactly good people to begin with. The people who swarmed around them, sucking up to them, only fed their vanity.

So when things went south, there was no one they could truly rely on. It just goes to show how important it is to choose your company wisely.

Qin Jiao asked, "Do you think they’ll come looking for you?"

"Legally, they can’t. I have no connection to Shen Zhengfeng’s paint factory or Shen Feng’s company. As for anything else... I’m not so sure."

Qin Jiao said, "Your grandmother and your aunt might come looking for you."

Shen Yi sneered, "And my uncle, too. For years, they’ve been like leeches on Shen Zhengfeng, sucking a ton of money out of him. Shouldn’t taking care of an old woman be a piece of cake for them?"

But Qin Jiao shook her head. "You shouldn’t underestimate human greed."

The Shen Family had grown accustomed to relying on Shen Zhengfeng. Now that he had fallen, they wouldn’t try to stand on their own two feet. Instead, they would look for a new backer to depend on.

And since Shen Yi was doing so well now—already famous in North City’s business circles—he would definitely become their new target!

Shen Yi said, "Don’t worry, Jiao Jiao. I won’t pay them any attention."

The Shen Family had bullied him and his mother plenty in the past. But what made Shen Yi even angrier was that Old Mrs. Shen and the others had actually known about Li Xiaomei and Shen Zhengfeng’s relationship for many years.

They had kept Du Liya and Shen Yi completely in the dark.

Because Qin Jiao was still in her postpartum confinement, Shen Yi didn’t let her worry about a single thing. He took care of everything, including company matters, making sure it was all handled perfectly.

On the day before the New Year, Jiang Xiaoyue, Sun Lili, and Li Man came to visit Qin Jiao and the new babies.

Sun Lili and Li Man absolutely adored the soft little babies and were busy playing with the brother and sister. Meanwhile, Jiang Xiaoyue looked at Qin Jiao and was relieved to see her glowing with health, her complexion rosy.

She said, "When I first heard you were kidnapped, it scared me to death! Thank god you ran into that kind farmer. It must be because you’re such a kind person who treats others well. That’s why you received this good karma."

Qin Jiao laughed. "Since when did you start believing in this stuff?"

Jiang Xiaoyue nodded. "Yeah, I really do. What goes around, comes around! Let me tell you, even though Lin Nian and Lu Jiuan haven’t been caught yet, their end won’t be a good one."

Lin Nian already has a criminal record, and now she’s involved in a kidnapping case.

When she’s caught, she’ll definitely receive a heavy sentence. As for that Lu Jiuan...

Jiang Xiaoyue sighed. "Meng Lanlan fell gravely ill. It turns out Lu Jiuan had already borrowed a lot of money from the Meng Family—oh, and Meng Lanlan’s bride price, too—and invested it all in that company. Then, when he fled, he took every last cent the family had with him. I just don’t get it. How did he get mixed up with Shen Feng and Lin Nian?"

Doing business to make a profit is one thing.

But getting involved in a kidnapping and breaking the law? That’s hard to understand.

Qin Jiao lowered her gaze. "Lu Jiuan and Lin Nian’s relationship isn’t a normal one. In other words, they’re having an affair."

"What? Really? But Meng Lanlan is still waiting for Lu Jiuan! She believes he’s innocent and is even trying to pull some strings to help him!"

Qin Jiao shook her head. "I heard it with my own ears after they kidnapped me. Shen Feng must have suddenly found out about their sordid affair, which is why he flew into a rage and tried to strangle Lin Nian. Lu Jiuan rushed to pull them apart. I used the opportunity while the three of them were fighting to escape with Xiao Shi."
