Switched Marriage The Coddled Little Wife novel Chapter 770

Chapter 770: Chapter 770: Where There’s Smoke, There’s Fire

Lin Chuxia went home to rest for a few days and also started to work on the pharmaceutical factory business.

This matter is indeed much harder and more complex than building a food factory or a clothing factory.

However, Lin Chuxia isn’t in a rush; she has plenty of people available now, everyone doing their own job in an orderly manner, and she only needs to focus on this one thing.

Additionally, she has Gu Peng helping her running errands for this task.

After a day of work, it was still early, so Lin Chuxia went to the market.

Qi Qi is now over a year old, right at that mischievous age.

After learning to walk, she doesn’t want to be held, running around the whole yard all day.

Sometimes, even the yard can’t contain her.

Zhuang Jingshu gets so tired chasing her every day that her waist and back are sore.

Luckily, the family has been drinking spiritual spring water all the time, which has improved Zhuang Jingshu’s overall condition.

If not, she wouldn’t know if she could handle this little one.

Even so, Lin Chuxia feels for her mother, trying to get off work early every day to buy groceries.

Carring her groceries, she had just arrived at Qin Yang’s workplace entrance when Uncle Zhang stopped her.

"Lin, did you just get off work?"

"Yes, Uncle Zhang, have you eaten? I just bought some peaches, let me leave a couple for you."

As Lin Chuxia spoke, she began to take the peaches out.

Uncle Zhang quickly waved his hands, looked around, pulled Lin Chuxia to the side, and whispered, "Forget about the peaches, something happened with your Deputy Minister Qin. Today a child came looking for him at the office, a boy about this tall..."

As Uncle Zhang spoke, he gestured with his hand.

"He was dark and thin, looking pitiful, shouting at the entrance to see Deputy Minister Qin, saying he came from the Northwest. Hasn’t your Xiao Qin worked there for a few years before? When asked what the child’s relationship with Deputy Minister Qin was, he wouldn’t say, just kept crying, saying his mom didn’t want him anymore, so he came to find Deputy Minister Qin..."

Uncle Zhang didn’t speak too clearly, but with matters like this, trying to cover up only raises more suspicion.

Apparently, the child intended to seize on this point.

"Where is the child?" Lin Chuxia asked.

"Where else? It was so inappropriate at the entrance, and the effect was bad, so they notified Deputy Minister Qin, and now the child is in Deputy Minister Qin’s office."

Uncle Zhang finished speaking and shot a worried glance at Lin Chuxia.

"Lin, I don’t think Xiao Qin is like that, so don’t overthink it."

Lin Chuxia naturally wouldn’t overthink it; she trusted Qin Yang’s character.

It’s just that with such an event, who knows what others might say.

Qin Yang, being so young and already a deputy minister, surely has many people watching him, waiting to find faults.

Uncle Zhang cautiously asked again, "Want to go take a look? Or should I give Vice Minister Zhang a call?"

"No need, Uncle Zhang, Qin Yang will be off work soon. I’ll go home and make dinner for him."

Since the child was already in Qin Yang’s office, he should be able to manage it.

Unexpectedly, before Qin Yang returned, Jiang Hong came rushing over.

Seeing Lin Chuxia, she pulled her inside and asked with a concerned expression, "Chuxia, what’s going on? I came back from work and the entire residential compound is talking about Deputy Minister Qin."

Lin Chuxia shrugged, "Qin Yang hasn’t returned yet, so I’m not sure either. But you can tell me what exactly they’re gossiping about."

Although she had caught some wind of it, no one had come to her, the person involved, directly.

She was quite curious.

Jiang Hong looked at her expression, "You’re not angry?"

Lin Chuxia began nonchalantly, "The person involved hasn’t even returned yet, what’s there to be mad about?"

Seeing her like this, Jiang Hong also breathed a sigh of relief, "You’ve got a point. Despite all the rumors flying around here, we actually trust Deputy Minister Qin’s character. My husband, Li Wei, even stood up to clarify when he heard people gossiping, but those people said we were covering for Deputy Minister Qin, things got more and more excessive, Li Wei almost got into a fight with them. I thought that would not do, so I came to see you, Deputy Minister Qin’s character, he certainly wouldn’t do such a thing, but idle gossip is bad too."

Lin Chuxia nodded, "Stay calm, wait for Qin Yang to get back, and then talk. First, tell me what exactly they are gossiping about. From what you’re saying, has Li Wei already gotten off work?"

Jiang Hong sighed, "What else are they saying? Claiming Deputy Minister Qin has an illegitimate child from the Northwest who has found his way here, saying it vividly. I asked Li Wei, but he couldn’t say clearly. He only said that the child cried terribly at the office entrance and when someone asked, he said he came to find Deputy Minister Qin across a thousand miles, saying his mother was the one who wronged Deputy Minister Qin, saying his mother had already abandoned him, begging Deputy Minister Qin not to abandon him too. By the time Li Wei got wind and went over, the child had already been taken by Deputy Minister Qin."

Lin Chuxia realized why the rumors spread so quickly.

Just listening to those words from the child, who wouldn’t overthink?

She became a bit curious about what kind of child would talk like that.

Also wondering where this child came from and what his purpose was?

Jiang Hong had mainly come because she was worried that Lin Chuxia, having heard those rumors, might end up fighting with Qin Yang.
