Just as Xia Ru was making a fuss, the long-closed door swung open.

Stepping out from inside were none other than Wen Shu and the employee, Ke Xin.

Xia Ru’s gaze turned unkind as she fixed her eyes on Ke Xin, who instinctively moved closer to Wen Shu, seeking refuge.

Xia Ru sneered, “In broad daylight, the two of you are up in the room on the second floor, checking accounts? The ledger is downstairs, so what kind of accounts were you checking? Let me have a look.”

Ke Xin hung her head, too afraid to face Xia Ru.

The more innocent Ke Xin appeared, the more Xia Ru seemed domineering.

Wen Shu found Xia Ru’s loud behavior embarrassing.

He shouted in displeasure, ‘Enough! You’re still the boss lady after all. Why are you so harsh on the employee? She works for you, not your slave.”

“We weren’t doing any accounting; there have been some issues with the accounts these past few days. She came to verify with me. What’s wrong with that?”

Xia Ru sneered, “Why didn’t you come to me to verify the accounts? Since when did you care about the store’s finances?”

“I can see you two sneaking around here in broad daylight. Have some shame!” Xia Ru’s words infuriated Wen Shu.

Now, Xia Ru depended on him for support. What right did she have to question him like this?

Growing anxious, Wen Shu’s tone turned harsher. “Regardless of Ke Xin’s actions, at least she doesn’t have opportunistic relatives like yours.”

Xia Ru looked hurt as she gazed at Wen Shu. “So, you’re starting to dislike me because of my family now?” “When we first met, you already knew about my background.” “You said you wouldn’t despise me.”

The emotion in Xia Ruts voice was partly genuine and partly an act.

The incident earlier when Wen Shu and Ke Xin had a private meeting had angered her, almost causing her to lose her composure.

She knew that appearing vulnerable could trigger a man’s protective instincts.

If she continued to question Wen Shu now, it would only provoke his resistance. Men had their pride.

She could be angry with Wen Shu, but not in front of so many employees.

As her words trailed off, she indeed saw a guilty and remorseful expression on Wen Shu’s face.

Ke Xin, hiding behind Wen Shu, watched with curiosity.

A woman understands another woman best, and Ke Xin was well aware that Xia Ru was acting.

However, it was evident that Wen Shu still had feelings for Xia Ru. In Wen Shu’s heart, Ke Xin couldn’t compete with Xia Ru.

To secure her place in the store and continue building a good relationship with Wen Shu, Ke Xin stepped forward voluntarily.

With a look of apology, she turned to Xia Ru. “Boss lady, it was my decision to come and speak to the boss. Due to my family’s illness, I couldn’t continue my education.

“I know the boss has the means, so I wanted him to sponsor my college education. After I graduate from college, I will also repay the boss and continue to serve in the boss’s store.

“I was a bit greedy, and I’m sorry, boss lady. I won’t bring up such matters again in the future.”

Xia Ru was puzzled, and Ke Xin’s words didn’t sound like a lie.

Could she have misunderstood?

With the opportunity Ke Xin provided, Wen Shu naturally followed up.

He said, “That’s exactly what happened. I was afraid you’d get angry, so I didn’t let the boss lady know about sponsoring Ke Xin. That’s why I brought her to the second floor to discuss.

“You are my wife, and you have the final say in our family’s finances. Whether or not to support Ke Xin is entirely up to you.”

Now, Xia Ru was torn. If she disapproved, Ke Xin would continue to work in the store. What if something happened next time between Wen Shu and Ke Xin?

However, supporting Ke Xin’s education would likely cost them a significant sum.

After a quick deliberation, Xia Ru said, “My other cousin is also in her senior year of high school. Ke Xin, I remember you dropped out in your senior year, right? In that case, you can directly join the same class as my cousin.

“If your progress keeps up, and you manage to get into college, we’ll definitely provide some financial support.

“But if your grades aren’t up to par and you don’t make it to college, you can obtain a high school diploma and continue working in our store.”

Ke Xin felt displeased in her heart..
