The Village Girl Who Jinxes Her Husband Is Filthy Rich

Chapter 1852: Why

Hearing the descriptions of the workers and Boss Lin of the Lin Real Estate Construction Company’s stern questioning of the Hu Brothers, many people immediately understood that the relationship problem was with the Hu Brothers.

Now, they were still acting like victims and demanding justice from the princess of the Guguo. This was too shameless and thick-skinned.

Immediately, the surrounding people looked at the five Hu brothers with strange gazes.

As for Third Brother Hu, under Lin Jinmei’s stern questioning, he gritted his teeth and said,” I lost it!”

They had already betrayed Lin Yuelan and didn’t want to betray their brothers anymore.

Lin Jinmei sneered and said,” Hehe, you lost it. Are you joking with me? It’s understandable if you lose it once, but if you lose it twice or thrice, Third Brother Hu, do you think we’re all fools?”

At this point, his sharp eyes stared at Second Brother Hu and said,” I think Second Brother Hu stole the money and gambled it away, right?”

As soon as Lin Jinmei finished speaking, the five Hu brothers trembled and could not help but feel a little afraid.

Back then, they had the courage to kneel here only because of the temptation of being an official and money.

However, when they really knelt down, everything was out of their control.

They only had two choices now. Either Lin Yuelan died, or they died!

However, apart from Second Brother Hu, they were all very clear that they had become chess pieces to deal with Lin Yuelan. The moment they knelt down, they had already become someone else’s abandoned chess pieces. Only Second Brother Hu was still dreaming of taking down Lin Yuelan, obtaining the money in her hands, becoming a high-ranking official, returning to his hometown in glory, and glorifying his family.

However, Second Brother Hu stood up and pointed at Lin Jinmei angrily. He said loudly,” Lin Jinmei, don’t accuse me. You clearly didn’t hand over the money to my third brother in time, causing us to not receive our wages for three consecutive months. Look at these people kneeling behind us. They are all pitiful people who didn’t receive their wages and are in urgent need of money. You embezzled our wages, and now you’re questioning me, saying that I used it to gamble. Lin Jinmei, you’re really despicable!”

Hearing Second Brother Hu’s words, the surrounding crowd didn’t know what was going on.

Of course, everyone still sided with Lin Jinmei.

After all, there was no need for Lin Jinmei to embezzle a mere two or three hundred taels of salary.

Lin Jinmei looked at Third Brother Hu, who was twisting the truth. Instead of getting angry, she laughed and said,” Second Brother Hu, I usually only know that you’re a quiet person. I didn’t expect you to be so eloquent when you’re twisting the truth.”

At this point, her expression changed, and she said with a serious expression,” You said that I embezzled. Do I need to be greedy for a mere 300 taels of silver? I heard that you’ve been showing off your might in the casino. You’ve been mingling in the casino all this time and have become a regular customer. But did you know? Boss He of the casino has come to me to collect your debt. For you, whether it’s three taels or three thousand taels, as long as it’s money, you can gamble in the casino.

“Tell me, is it more believable that I’m corrupt or that you’re a corrupt gambler?”

Lin Jinmei didn’t waste time. She only retorted sharply.

Immediately, she knelt in front of Lin Yuelan and said,” I’m sorry, Master. I’m incompetent. I didn’t manage my subordinates well!”

However, she was truly regretful. When she discovered that something was wrong with them, she had taken certain measures against them. If not, today’s incident would not have happened.

How much trouble did this bring to Master?

At this moment, Lin Yuelan’s aura was sharp and dignified. She seemed to turn a blind eye to Lin Jinmei’s kneeling.

This was caused by Lin Jinmei’s mismanagement. She should bear this responsibility.

Lin Yuelan dragged the long wedding dress and walked leisurely to Boss Hu and the others. She asked expressionlessly and coldly,” Why?”

The ‘why’ Lin Yuelan asked was actually why she betrayed her.

Although she had some guesses in her heart, she still wanted them to say it out loud.

Boss Hu’s face was filled with embarrassment and guilt. He did not know how to answer,” I… I…”

At this moment, Second Brother Hu rushed out and shouted at her,” Why else could it be? Didn’t you hear what I said just now? Since that’s the case, I’ll say it again. Why do we work so hard and not get much money, while you can get a huge amount of wealth just by talking and pointing at us? Is this fair to us?”
