The Stepmother’s Counterattack: Raising a Child in a Bygone Era

"I’m helping her because I see her potential."

Yan Su subconsciously took over the conversation, "Mingzhu indeed has some talent in business, and she’s very hardworking."

"That’s not what I’m talking about."

Meeting Yan Su’s puzzled gaze, Yan Jing smiled meaningfully, "She is quite clever, knowing that we are interested in collaborating with the Cui Family to invest in the casino on Pearl Road, she deliberately dropped the postcard that La Shiran wrote to her in front of me."

Yan Su was astonished, "La Shiran? The little girlfriend of Cui Rumao?"

"Although Cui Rumao already has four ex-wives, he is not a frivolous man; on the contrary, he is very cautious and suspicious when it comes to women. La Shiran has been with him for over a year and still hasn’t fallen out of favor. As long as she doesn’t screw up, it’s not impossible for her to become the fifth Mrs. Cui."

Yan Su shook her head, "Sister, Mingzhu isn’t that calculated. I’ve known her for so long, she’s never asked me for anything, and even this trip to Hong City was my own suggestion. Whenever she encounters difficulties, she handles them herself, she’s a very independent and resilient woman."

"Moreover, brother-in-law merely has a preliminary interest in collaborating with the Cui Family, and even I didn’t know, let alone Mingzhu."

Yan Jing remained non-committal, "Whether intentional or not, she succeeded in showing me her potential. I’m helping her as an investment, I bet there will come a day when she will be of use to me."

Yan Su looked down, clearly not happy with this, "Sister, she is my friend."
