Chapter 160
"Favoritism? Hmph."
"Jingran, Nan, for now, just listen to me as your elder sister. Compared to this matter, I want to tell you about another matter, which is of utmost concern to Pingrui."
The real issue had arrived.
"Zhang Xiayang killed Liu Laogou and then he fled. Now the Liu Family is searching high and low across the world to take revenge on Zhang Xiayang. This is all just a smokescreen. If they can’t find Zhang Xiayang, the Liu Family will naturally demand justice from the Chen family. Even if they do find Zhang Xiayang, how could they possibly let go of the Chen family, this big piece of meat."
Seeing the expressions of both people change at the same time, Zheng Xinru’s tone offered no relief, still carrying that serious tone, "Once the Chen family falls from grace, whoever dies first will have the easiest time. Those who are alive can only carry this burden and keep going. We’re just women, frankly speaking, we also rely on men. With Pingrui gone, we’re all just widows. But in front of ’widow’ there’s still a ’Chen,’ Chen widow, heh, really not so great."
Zheng Xinru’s laughing and shaking her head made Lv Nan feel somewhat creeped out. She never doubted this woman’s intelligence and tactics. Without some skill, how could she have maintained her standing in Tianhe City for over twenty years? To speak of it, this woman is also legendary. The first time she fell in love, for Chen Pingrui, she abandoned her family and business, willingly left the embrace of a prominent family in Shanghai, and followed a man from Beiping back to the north. The once princess willingly became a full-time housewife at home, and after twenty years of not having a son, willingly divorced Chen Pingrui. A full-time housewife starting from scratch at the age of forty, she managed to carve out a sizable industry in Tianhe City on her own. It cannot be said that Chen Pingrui did not help at all, but overall, it was Zheng Xinru that made it happen with her own hands.
Lv Nan regained her senses, glanced at Zheng Xinru who was sipping tea with her head down, then at Lin Jingran who was still in a daze, inwardly cursed ’blockhead,’ then put on a smile, "Elder sister, what do you think we should do then?"
"Elder sister, how about we make peace with the Liu Family? If this continues, we will ultimately be the ones at a disadvantage, and if things go wrong, the Chen family might truly be completely defeated."
