Chapter 386: They Are All Too Unruly

Hearing Shen Nian’s long silence on the other end of the line, Lu Xinyue started to worry.

Although she and Zhuo Jiayin were good friends, Zhuo Jiangtao was ultimately the one who made decisions for the Zhuo Family. Faced with the offer of an extra ten percent in shares, Lu Xinyue couldn’t help but feel the pressure.

"It’s fine. Since they’re offering it, just take it."

"Really? Are you sure there won’t be any issues?"

"Don’t worry. It’s fine. Just accept it."

"Okay, I understand, Sister-in-law. Don’t worry about things at home; I’m taking care of Mom and Dad! You’re the one who needs to take good care of yourself over there!"

"Don’t worry, I’ll take care of myself. Xinyue, you’ve really grown up and become so much more sensible!"

Shen Nian said with a smile, feeling a sense of relief. The Lu Xinyue of today had matured so much compared to right after her rebirth.

"What are you talking about? It’s not like I’m a little kid! Anyway, Sister-in-law, you should get back to your work. I’ll call you again when I have time!"

Besides, they had a phone at home, so it was easy to stay in touch. Lu Xinyue wasn’t going to talk for ages on a single call, especially since she was in a hurry to give the Zhuo Family her answer.

"Okay, I’ll call back when I’m free, too. If anything comes up at home, don’t try to handle it all by yourself. Remember to call me!"

After giving Lu Xinyue a few more instructions, Shen Nian hung up the phone.

When she returned from taking the call at the guardhouse, she found that the expressions on the faces of Lin Jingyun and Zhang Ying, who were waiting for her, had changed dramatically.

"What’s wrong with you two?"

Seeing the awful expressions on Lin Jingyun and Zhang Ying, Shen Nian wondered if something unpleasant had happened in the short time she was on the phone.

After all, before she left, Lin Jingyun and Zhang Ying had been cheerfully gushing about how handsome Chu Yunze was.

"The people here have way too much time on their hands!"

"I know, right? I never realized there were so many gossips around here. Why is everyone suddenly so eager to stir up trouble?"

Listening to Lin Jingyun and Zhang Ying complain back and forth, Shen Nian was at a loss for words. They were both talking, but neither had actually explained what happened.

"Sister Jingyun, Sister Yingzi, what in the world happened?"

"What else could it be? We’re furious on your behalf!"

"On my behalf? But wasn’t that business from before already cleared up?"

’That whole incident had so many witnesses. They all saw what happened, so everything should be perfectly clear. How could anyone still be gossiping about it?’

"This has nothing to do with what happened before! It’s obvious someone’s been bad-mouthing you again, and this time, what they’re saying is even more infuriating!"

"Xiao Nian, don’t be angry. We already shut them down for you."

"I’m not angry. Sister Jingyun, Sister Yingzi, you still haven’t told me what they said."

Shen Nian glanced around. There was no one else nearby. ’Even if someone really had been here gossiping about her, Lin Jingyun and Zhang Ying must have chased them away.’

"They actually said you’re involved with other men, and that you and Mr. Lu are having relationship problems! Tell me, isn’t that infuriating?"

Lin Jingyun’s face was filled with righteous indignation as she looked at Shen Nian. From the look on her face, she wished she could drag those people back and give them a good beating.
