Chapter 38: Sister-In-Law Acting Coquettishly

“Ahh!” she screamed. When she looked up, her face was less than ten centimeters away from mine. She was so close that I could feel the heat between her breaths.

Although she was my wife’s sister from the same village and we could be considered relatives, it was still a little embarrassing to be in such close proximity with her.

My heart lurched.

I quickly helped her to her feet and asked, “Are you okay?”

Yu Lan’s face was flushed red as if she was having a fever. “I’m fine. Thank you, Brother-in-law.”

I changed the topic. “Why are you here? I remember that you don’t work on the weekends. “As I spoke, I quietly took off my earphones and pocketed my phone.

Yu Lan sat down beside me. She composed herself and said, “This is my first time working overtime on a weekend. I heard that you’ve returned to the office, so I came up to see if I could try to bump into you.”

I was stunned. “You were looking for me? What’s the matter?”

Yu Lan’s expression suddenly became a little odd. She lowered her head and pinched the corner of her clothes, but she didn’t say a word.

I sat up straight and asked with concern, “Yu Lan, did you run into any trouble at the company? If anyone bullies you, tell me and I’ll help you.”

Yu Lan was a good girl and had always been nice to me. I naturally had to help her with such a small matter.

Yu Lan sighed. “There have been so many annoying things lately. Uncle was arrested and I encountered this… I don’t know many people here, and I didn’t dare to tell Sister, so I could only look for you.”

I asked in a low voice, “Who bullied you? Is it your team leader?”

I met Yu Lan’s team leader once. He was a man in his thirties. He was very handsome, but he was rumored to be especially unfaithful. He had some scandals with the female employees in his team.

It was easy for Yu Lan to be taken advantage of if she worked under such people.

If he really had designs on Yu Lan, then I definitely can’t let him off. Although I’ve only just joined the company, with my current influence with Xu Xiaomei, it won’t be hard for me to teach him a lesson.

Unexpectedly, Yu Lan shook her head forcefully. “No, no. My team leader is very good to me. It’s because of other reasons…”

She hesitated again.

This time, I was really curious. “What is it?”

Yu Lan looked at me with determination. “Brother-in-law, you might have heard from Sister that I was able to enter Splendid Sun Real Estate because she sought someone for help. She asked General Manager Lu to help me, so I’ve always been very grateful to him.”

The bald man was now acting as the temporary general manager. Almost everyone in the company had changed his salutation to General Manager Lu.

I frowned. “And?”

Yu Lan’s expression became odd again. “I don’t know. General Manager Lu might have a misunderstanding? Or am I overthinking things? He… seems to be taking special care of me now.”

I was stunned. “Special care?” I repeated.

Yu Lan nodded. “He bought me quite a number of gifts, and… and he even told me that he felt that I was very capable and that I shouldn’t just be an executive. He wanted me to be… to be…”

“To be what?” I asked subconsciously.

She revealed a complicated expression and finally muttered, “He wants me to be his secretary.”

“What?!”

Suddenly, I understood what she meant.

That old man was indeed just having a fling with my wife. His lust had acted up and he had designs on Yu Lan because she was young and pretty!

As his secretary, he would naturally have more time to interact with Yu Lan, and he could also better achieve his goal!

My wife would definitely be clueless about this.

Otherwise, how would she have gotten the bald man to help Yu Lan enter the company?

Yu Lan said in distress, “I don’t dare to tell Sister about this because I’m afraid she’ll be in a dilemma. But I can’t reject General Manager Lu. He has helped me to join the company. I really don’t know what to do. Brother-in-law, can you help me?”

I composed myself. “You really want to say no?”

Yu Lan replied without hesitation, “Of course! General Manager Lu has a wife! And the age difference between us is so huge, he is old enough to be my father! Besides, I don’t like his way of always buying gifts. It’s really annoying.”

I frowned.

This matter was indeed a little troublesome.

The bald man was still Xu Xiaomei’s superior for the time being, and she was his enemy. Even if I could influence Xu Xiaomei, she wouldn’t be able to do anything to that scum.

However, Yu Lan was a good girl. I definitely couldn’t let her suffer his harassment.

I pondered about it. “I’ll think of a way for you.”

Yu Lan was delighted. “Thank you, Brother-in-law! I know you are good to me! You will definitely help me!” She jumped off the sofa and hugged me.

She was soft and fragrant, and my heart fluttered.

I coughed softly. “Yu Lan, men, and women shouldn’t touch each other so casually! You have to be more mindful. If you continue to be like this, I will definitely take advantage of you!”

Yu Lan said with a flushed face, “If it’s Brother-in-law, I’m willing. You are such a good person and you always help me!”

I almost choked on my saliva and died!

What did she mean?

She rejected the bald man but she would say yes to me?

Could this girl be interested in me?

At this moment, the door to the lounge suddenly flung open. Someone walked in and saw the two of us.. “Zhang Teng, what are the two of you doing!”
