Chapter 671: I am a family woman
The leaves continued to fall, and days passed, and Chi Lian continued to stay home with her children. It had been a full week since she last stepped her feet into the office. Still, she was kept updated on all the office news, the official and the unofficial.
Official was the return of the companies which were not pressured by city bank anymore, the open auditions for single’s inferno and the attempted bribing of entertainment companies to get their , D and E list actors and actresses on the list.
Unofficial was the news of Ehuang suddenly taking on a new job as a host for a brand new show ’Tea with a beauty’ on Htv. It was speculated that she had a backer in the company which made no sense because why then had she joined Phoenix Tv?
Chi Lian simply laughed when she saw that nonsense because Htv would be no more in three to five months, she would make sure to obliterate it just as she had done the Chu tea plantations.
She was not alone in staying home, Muyang too worked for half a day or simply worked from home. After many years of living in the office or on campus, he could comfortably take time away from the office, especially. He was still reporting to the university for his classes.
They planned their children’s birthdays and spent time together as a family while keeping an eye on the aftermath of the unfortunate drowning of the affluent on the yacht. The emperor had gone so far as to have a few unrecognizable bodies dumped into the water. No one was allowed to see the bodies, not even family members saw their loved ones before cremation.
They could not make too much noise about the matter because they were dealing with accusations left and right about the supposed corruption their relatives had been involved in. For some, evidence of such corruption was found in their homes, offices and secret accounts.
The aristocratic families which were quick to catch on kept their heads low and advised their children to behave during this clamorous time. Nobody wanted this wave to sweep them away.
On this morning, Chi Lian was outside the house, watering the crape myrtle trees that were now as tall as her leg thanks to fertilizer from the virtual farm. While she did that, she engaged in a gratifying conversation on the phone with her best friend Xue Lili.
Lili had just mentioned how elusive Chi Lian had become lately.
Chi Lian laughed and said, "I am a family woman, I should balance my time well for all of our well being."
