Ruling the Historical Romance Novel as the Female Supporting Character-Chapter 175: Useless Hoe Didn’t Need Attention

Grandpa Lin stood by, watching them, a faint smile appearing on his weathered face. Then, with some concern, he asked, "Many leaders came today, and such a big incident happened. Is it alright? Will it have a negative impact on you, Ze, and Comrade Xia?"

All of those were influential figures, sparing their time to attend the wedding. Encountering such an incident might leave some dissatisfaction in their hearts.

Yijia had mentioned that Ze’s health could be cured, and before his career shift, he was a minor leader. If he wanted to return to his former position after recovering, wouldn’t he need these leaders to speak for him?

The more Grandpa Lin thought, the more worry clouded his face.

"Grandpa, those leaders are reasonable people. It’s clear today that it wasn’t us trying to stir trouble. When they investigate, they’ll find out that Ze and I were set up and manipulated. If they have any thoughts, it’ll only be concern for us. So, please rest assured. Why would I play with our future?" Su Yijia said earnestly, analyzing today’s events for Grandpa Lin.

Grandpa Lin actually wanted to ask if Su Yijia had a hand in the trouble caused by Qin’s mother and those two nephews. But he didn’t believe that his granddaughter would willingly harm others. Even if she was involved in something, it wouldn’t be with malicious intent, merely giving tit for tat.

"Ah, if your mom had half your intelligence back then, it would’ve been better. She’s just too gentle," Grandpa Lin couldn’t help but sigh. It was all their fault, only knowing how to spoil and indulge their precious daughter. They taught her to be kind to others but failed to teach her how to protect herself.

"My mom was just too kind. It’s not her fault; it’s just that there are too many bad people in this world," Su Yijia remarked, seeing her grandparents feeling down, feeling a tinge of lament. Had the mother of the original host been a bit more resolute and shrewder, the original host wouldn’t exist in this world.

Rising too early in the morning and dealing with issues for most of the day, all of them felt a bit tired.

In a rush, Su Yijia removed her makeup, took Qin Kaize for a shower, and then took one herself before lying down for a nap. However, remembering she needed to bring dumplings for Gao Huabin, she woke up after an hour.

Seeing that Qin Kaize had also opened his eyes, she pulled the blanket over him. "I’ll go knead the dough and prepare the filling. We’ll have cabbage and pork dumplings tonight. You keep sleeping."

"Don’t do it, too tiring, let’s buy from the State-Owned Restaurant," Qin Kaize blinked his eyes with determination.

Originally, Su Yijia wanted to say she wasn’t too tired and could easily manage it. But looking into the man’s deep, resolute eyes that gave no room for negotiation, she chuckled.

"You, a grown man, why do you act jealous every day?"

Her playful touch to his shoulder brought a coquettish blush to her bright face, warming Qin Kaize’s heart. His throat visibly moved.

Su Yijia curiously touched it with her fingertips. They said a prominent Adam’s apple in men suggested other exceptional attributes. It seemed to true. While she hadn’t experienced things personally, she had seen enough.

Setting aside the exaggerated comics, and comparing to the actual men on screens...

A one to three ratio?

Suddenly, Su Yijia felt a bit parched.

Who said only men would be set on fire? Someone like her, who had never been in a relationship before and solely focused on research, shouldn’t be underestimated when set on fire.

After getting off from Qin Kaize’s waist and smoothing her clothes, she said, "I’ll go to the State-Owned Restaurant to buy food for Gao Huabin and come right back. You keep sleeping for a while."

With that said, she didn’t even glance at the man lying on the bed, simply walked out.

Knowing men had bigger appetites, Su Yijia deliberately bought two portions and brought two water bottles, one filled with water and the other with powdered milk.

However, as she reached the mouth of the alley, she paused, not seeing the car parked outside.

"Sister-in-law." Gao Huabin jumped down directly from a tree, landing steadily in front of Su Yijia.

It nearly startled her.

"Be careful not to hurt yourself," Su Yijia looked up at the towering tree, at least four or five meters high, and advised cautiously. She wanted to have someone watching over Su Xinyue, but did not intend to harm anyone on their side.

It wasn’t worth it for those two despicable individuals.

"It’s fine. I used to do this kind of thing before I shifted careers. Later, I injured my leg and couldn’t do these jumps anymore, but I just jumped down, and there’s absolutely no problem. Sister-in-law, that ointment of yours is really amazing. I’ll make sure to praise it to the leaders when I go back," Gao Huabin’s eyes gleamed, evidently thrilled.

For those who had changed career due to injuries, as long as the time apart wasn’t too long and they passed the physical tests, there was still a chance to return to the unit. His time was right within the specified range, and once the boss’s health improved, he intended to give it a try.

"It’s good that your injury is healing, but you haven’t used it for a full month yet. In the last few days, don’t neglect it just because you feel fine; otherwise, it won’t fully heal," Su Yijia handed him the items, expressing her concern. People tended to make this mistake, but since the system emphasized a whole month, missing even a day wouldn’t do.

"Sister-in-law, rest assured, I’ll definitely take the medication on time and in the correct amount." Gao Huabin thought of how he had considered not wasting such precious medicine once his injury healed, feeling a sudden sense of regret. If he didn’t thoroughly recover, applied for the test, and didn’t pass, he wouldn’t have another chance in the future.

Opening the lunchbox and smelling the fragrant dumplings, he grabbed a couple with his hands and started eating. After having two, suppressing his hunger, something suddenly crossed his mind.

"Sister-in-law, a guy driving a small car just stopped at the entrance of the alley. He looked to be about 25 or 26 years old, glanced around, didn’t get out of the car, and then drove off," Gao Huabin reported the unusual incident, though he wasn’t aware of the man’s intentions. However, in their line of work, they habitually reported anything out of the ordinary.

"Do you remember the license plate?" Su Yijia could almost guess who the person was but still wanted to confirm.

"I’ve got it." Gao Huabin retrieved a leaf from his pocket with a few numbers etched onto it with a twig.

Su Yijia confirmed that it was the same man who had been seen tussling with Su Xinyue on the street before. But he was not the man she was interested in; she was looking for Su Xinyue’s third man. Could it be that the man hadn’t shown up yet?

Su Yijia felt a tinge of regret. While reading novels of such type, her impatience might have led her to miss the development of the plot. She usually skimmed through pages, focusing only on the main idea but omitted some of the details. She would only stop for the romantic parts. When she encountered particularly thrilling scenes, she even tagged them so that she could occasionally go back to relish them.

As a result, now whenever Su Xinyue and one of her men appeared, her mind automatically conjured up the written scenes, which was impossible to overlook.
