“This is interesting. An old lady from rural Sea District spent her own money to travel to Emperor District. She couldn’t fly, and she couldn’t stay in a good hotel. Every day, she stayed in a shabby hotel that cost 100 yuan. She walked a long way, took a long subway, and went to the Xiao group in the city center to take photos of their building and the chairman’s motorcade. She can’t be trying to blow up the building, right?”
Zhou Hua’s matter was already enough of a mystery. Old Madam Zhou’s actions left the Wu family even more confused.
“Nuannuan, you mean… Lil Yun’s mother has a connection to the Xiao family?” Elder Wu asked.
“Definitely,” Nangong Nuannuan said. “The members of the Zhou family are very simple to read. It’s obvious at a glance. All the unreasonable factors surrounding the Zhou family stemmed from Zhou Hua. It was definitely a good thing for the Zhou family that Zhou Hua and Uncle Wu had a child. However, the Zhou family would rather reject one million yuan than let Zhou Hua and Uncle Wu meet.”
After saying that.., Nangong Nuannuan looked at Sze Lingyun and said, “Senior Sister is dating Li Jingyan. Logically speaking, Sister Senior is not valued by the Zhou family, but the Zhou family is greedy. They don’t dare to be greedy for the Wu family’s money, but they can be greedy for Li Jingyan’s money! So why don’t they let Senior Sister and Li Jingyan stay together? If they really wanted Senior Sister to get married and get the family betrothal gifts, Li Jingyan has plenty of money to give them. They didn’t want a rich son-in-law who was already planning to marry Sze Lingyun. They insisted on introducing Senior Sister to an old man in his forties. Why did they want to break up this couple? At the time, I didn’t know why. Did they simply not want to see Senior Sister happy? Now I understand a little bit more about why. Li Jingyan is Elder Xiao’s grandson. So it’s not that they don’t want Senior Sister to have a good relationship with Li Jingyan, but that they don’t want Senior Sister to have a good relationship with the Xiao family.”
The Wu family members, “…”
Sze Lingyun, “…”
At this point, nothing could shock Sze Lingyun anymore.
From her first memory, she had always been an unloved, wretched girl from a poor family. She never expected herself to be someone so perfect.
Her biggest goal in life was to get rid of the shackles her family had put on her and truly live a life that only belonged to her.
That would have been enough.
She did not seek to be rich and powerful, nor did she seek to have a heaven-defying background. She only hoped that in her future life, she would not be criticized by others and that she would not be held back by others when she went against the current.
However, she met Li Jingyan, and through Li Jingyan, she met Nangong Nuannuan and Chi Yang. Then, her life changed dramatically.
She never thought that her father would be the governor that everyone respected in Sea District, and she never thought that his grandfather’s family would be the richest in Sea District.
Things had already been unbelievably amazing up to this point. She was already happy enough to have a father who loved her, as well as a grandfather, second uncle, aunt, cousin, and younger cousin who loved her too. Now, it was surfacing that Old Madam Zhou had a connection to the Xiao family.
..
One could say that her mother might have a relationship with the Xiao family.
This made Sze Lingyun feel like she was floating.
The Wu family grew solemn.
The Xiao family was not an ordinary family. They were one of the four great families and on par with the Nangong family, the Shi family, and the Ning family.
Although the Wu family was on par with the Xiao family in terms of wealth, or even slightly richer than the Xiao family, the Xiao family was an aristocratic while the Wu family was not. In a true aristocratic family, the children of the family had to join the army, while other families would have their children join the business.
