Seventy thousand?

Though not a large sum, it was enough for him to expand the factory and establish a company.

Xia Jianren had been calculating in his heart, but his heavily sighed facade showed a mature handsome face covered with dark clouds, filled with visible dejection.

“What’s the matter?” Mrs. Xia frowned, her eyes full of worry as they rested on him, “You’re sighing so deeply, are you feeling unwell?”

“No,” Xia Jianren put on a convincing act, shaking his head and closing his eyes in guilt, “Lanzi, it’s my incompetence that has forced you, a woman, to go out and work. I thought I could make money for us by going into business, but the factory hasn’t been doing well these past few years…”

“What can we do then?” Although Mrs. Xia was also a businesswoman by now, she didn’t understand how to run a factory. She bit her lip and suggested, “Why don’t you quit running the factory? Let’s sell perfume together!”

“Lanzi, this factory is the result of many years of my effort. I can’t just abandon it!” Xia Jianren suddenly held his head, even his voice choking up, making him sound overwhelmingly sad. He played the role of a disheartened middle-aged man to perfection.

If Xia Ningxing had been here, she would have felt utterly inadequate.

Ma Dan, even better at acting than an actress!

Mrs. Xia, seeing his distress, felt her own heart twisting in pain, more so than his; she comforted him, “Jianren… don’t be sad, there will always be a way out.”

“Lanzi, are you willing to help me?” Xia Jianren lifted his slightly reddened eyes, tenderly holding her delicate cheeks.

“Me?” Mrs. Xia pointed at herself in surprise, her face a picture of confusion, “How can I help?”

She didn’t understand how to run a factory either.

Seeing her take the bait, Xia Jianren couldn’t wait to state his true intention, “You just need to give me all the money from home. With that capital, my factory can be revived. Lanzi, you just wait. Once I’ve made money, I will surely repay you double!”

He spoke with passionate persuasion, as if he truly meant it.

Mrs. Xia, already loving him and impressed by his acting, had no reason to disagree. She nestled into his arms like a bird snuggling up to its mate, acting coy, “Double compensation, what’s that for? You’re my husband, take whatever money you need from home!”

While speaking, she shifted her body, handing over the passbook hidden under the bed.

“Lanzi!” Xia Jianren was ecstatic inside, but also contemptuous. This woman was indeed easy to deceive, “Wife, you’re so good to me, I love you.”

“Cheesy! At our age, you’re saying these things. Aren’t you embarrassed!”

Mrs. Xia lightly smacked him, feeling a bit shy, but her eyes clearly held sweetness.

However, she did not see the smile on the man’s face that did not reach his eyes, his cold and proud expression resembled a wild beast, ready to swallow her whole at any moment.

“However, you’ll have to leave ten thousand for me. We still need to build a house, buy materials for perfume, and there are the kids’ school fees once school starts again.” Mrs. Xia still hadn’t let love completely overtake her senses.

Xia Jianren frowned, annoyed inside. Seventy thousand was already less than he wanted; if another ten thousand were to be deducted, there’d be next to nothing left!

So, he shifted his gaze, cupping her beautiful face earnestly, and said, “Lanzi, let’s postpone building the house for now. Once I’ve made money, I’ll buy a place directly in the city. I’ll move all of you there! As for the perfume materials and school fees, I’ll leave two thousand for you.”

“Alright, I’ll listen to you, Jianren.” Mrs. Xia was so beguiled she no longer persisted about building the house.
