Li Guojun Is Furious! Ma Yulian Is in a Panic…

The moment Li Junsheng's words came out, Ma Yulian's expression changed dramatically. She quickly shot a warning glance at Chen Dazhu and his son.

Chen Dazhu discreetly pinched his son, Chen Zhiyuan.

"Why can't you keep your mouth shut?"

At this point, Ma Yulian's attempt to signal the father and son was too late. Li Guojun had caught on to the keywords that directly affected the job at the big factory—something he had been obsessing over.

Li Guojun seized Chen Zhiyuan's wrist, his face a mask of disbelief. "Chen Zhiyuan, what do you mean by that?"

"What do you mean waiting for my dad's good news? What transfer job certificate?"

Li Guojun was visibly anxious, addressing Chen Zhiyuan by his full name.

Understanding he had misspoken, Chen Zhiyuan scrambled to free himself and stammered, "You… don't ask me!"

Wang Xiuhua, concerned about her husband securing the job at the big factory, immediately chimed in, pressing Li Junsheng for answers. "Dad, what's going on? Can you please explain? Have you secured the transfer certificate? Didn't you consult with us before deciding who would take the job?"

Wang Xiuhua fixed a hopeful gaze on Li Junsheng, wishing for a satisfactory answer.

Before Li Junsheng could respond, Ma Yulian pushed Wang Xiuhua aside. "What are you meddling in? This isn't a matter for you!"

Seriously! Just dealing with Guojun was challenging enough; now her clueless daughter-in-law was making matters worse.

Meanwhile, Li Guojun turned his ire on Chen Dazhu and his son. "I was wondering why you two brought so much here; turns out you're after my dad's job! You had it all planned out! Why don't you just take your things and leave? We aren't discussing anything!"

Li Guojun had begun to kick them out, but Ma Yulian was desperately trying to restrain him. "Guojun, what are you doing? Be polite and talk to them!"

Li Junsheng stood by, feeling amused and eager for the impending drama.

Now that the cat was out of the bag, how would Ma Yulian and Chen Dazhu respond to her furious eldest son?

The more Ma Yulian defended this outside pair, the wider the rift would grow between her and her eldest son!

Li Guojun felt annoyed with his mother's actions as well. How could he be calm when such a valuable job was being eyed by others? He had every right to kick them out—how could he possibly tolerate this?

Chen Dazhu, on the other hand, didn't say a word. Deep down, he was indeed after Li Junsheng's factory job, but Li Guojun's anger was now directed at him too.

"Dad! You have to say something! They want your job at the factory. You wouldn't actually hand over the transfer certificate to them, would you?"

Li Junsheng noted the anger laced in Li Guojun's gaze. It was clear the boy was furious, but he didn't fear Li Guojun's rage; this anger wasn't rightly directed at him!

Faced with Li Guojun's questions, Li Junsheng wore a troubled look. Rather than addressing Li Guojun's inquiry directly, he turned to Chen Dazhu, expressing his frustration. "Old Chen, your son is making this difficult for me!"

"You both want me to hand over my factory job, which I was indeed prepared to do, but how could you openly discuss it in front of Guojun?"

"I originally intended to keep the job for Guojun, but Yulian insisted I transfer it to your son Zhiyuan."

As he spoke, Li Junsheng glanced at his eldest son, adopting an attitude of resignation. "Guojun, you weren't wrong. I did transfer my job to Zhiyuan. Your uncle Chen saved your mother's life, and she insisted on repaying this debt to him. I'm only helping your mother with this transfer!"

"Since you've already figured it out, there's no reason for me to hide it from you any longer—it's just how things are."

After this confession, Li Junsheng sighed heavily, retreating to the side with a defeated expression.

Anyone looking at him could see he was just a docile man reluctant to oppose his wife.

Chen Dazhu frowned, noticing that Ma Yulian was about to bear the brunt of the blame.

But he wasn't planning to step in to defend her!

At the end of the day, getting his son into that factory job was what mattered most.

After all, money had already exchanged hands!

Chen Dazhu wanted to tell Li Guojun that the job had been bought from Li Junsheng, but he also feared that if Li Guojun learned that, he might just take back the money Li Junsheng had.

Then even Ma Yulian wouldn't be able to get that sum back!

That would be a disaster!

Grimacing internally, Chen Dazhu stayed quiet.

Chen Zhiyuan wanted to mention the financial aspect, but his father firmly held his wrist to prevent him from saying anything further, worried they might lose that thousand yuan.

Meanwhile, Li Guojun exploded with rage after hearing Li Junsheng's words, kicking aside the items Chen Dazhu had brought.

From Li Junsheng's comments, he realized that Ma Yulian was the mastermind behind this. Feeling that his father was still being too passive, he chose not to confront Li Junsheng but instead aimed his fury at Ma Yulian.

"Mom, have you lost your mind? You really gave my dad's job to Chen Zhiyuan just to repay some old favor?"

"All these years, you've helped the Chen family plenty already. You even helped raise their son. You've long repaid that debt, so why should my dad let his job go to them?"

Wang Xiuhua chimed in, coldly criticizing her mother-in-law. "Exactly, Mom! You can repay your favors however you like, but don't drag my dad into this. He owes them nothing!"

Li Junsheng, standing on the sidelines, found some satisfaction in seeing Ma Yulian panic and struggle to respond.

Ma Yulian looked desperately towards Chen Dazhu for support, but he acted as though he didn't notice her plight!

Wasn't this the one she favored? Sooner or later, Ma Yulian would find herself at the mercy of this father and son duo.

"Mom, give me a straight answer! Has the job already gone to Chen Zhiyuan?"

To calm her eldest, Ma Yulian hastily spun a lie to soothe Li Guojun and Wang Xiuhua. "Guojun, your dad didn't explain clearly. Zhiyuan is only borrowing the job temporarily to find a wife. He'll return it!"

It was the same old excuse.

But Li Guojun and Wang Xiuhua were no longer the naive and easily fooled individuals they once had been. Just calling it a borrow—who could guarantee it would be returned?

Li Guojun firmly believed that his mother might have been swindled by the Chen family!

He shouted back in a fit of rage, "Absolutely not! My dad's job isn't a toy. Whether he finds a wife or not has nothing to do with us!"

Wang Xiuhua immediately looked at Li Junsheng. "Dad, you haven't actually secured the transfer certificate yet, right?"

Ma Yulian shot Li Junsheng a glance, signaling him to play along with her deception.

Li Junsheng noticed her hint but had no intention of indulging her.

Given that his daughter-in-law was asking so directly, Li Junsheng decided it was time to drop the act.

He pulled out the transfer certificate from his pocket, feigning innocence and confusion. "Your mom and your Uncle Chen pestered me so much that it just got sorted today!"
