The air in the room suddenly turned cold.
Lin Yishan wept plaintively, her tears falling like worthless pearls.
Lin Jiale slammed his fist against the glass, his mouth twisted in a ruthless sneer, "This poor kid, that poor woman, they’ve got some nerve!"
"Dad—" Lin Yishan began, "I told you before, she’s different."
"Are you crazy? I told you to care about your man, why do you care about her?! Isn’t she just a poor woman?"
Lin Jiale’s thunderous voice carried across the space, eventually drawing a response from Wa Zicong in the distance.
"Let me give you a piece of advice, Mr. Lin, I’ve been with her for a full ten years, I understand her better than you do. Anyone who underestimates her ends up in a sorry state."
Lin Jiale sneered, "What are you saying? Who’s underestimating her? Who underestimated her before? Someone as rich as us?"
Wa Zicong’s lips curved into a smirk, "We’re all in business, in finance, Mr. Lin. Wherever your luck has taken you, I can see, it’s certainly not as good as hers. Perhaps you should take a moment to remember, her luck has always been very good."
Lin Jiale truly hadn’t thought of that before.
Now that the other had mentioned it, it seemed Gu Nuan’s luck wasn’t just generally good. After all, considering her background, and the fact that she was deaf, how could she have encountered Xiao Yebai and then hooked up with Xiao Yebai? That in itself was luck.
Moreover, it was said that her entry into Changda was personally approved by Chen Jiaming.
Hearing no response from Lin Jiale, the elevator arrived just in time, and Wa Zicong stepped inside.
Wa’s mother continued to pester her son to go back, saying, "By walking away , aren’t you afraid of what he might do to you? Didn’t you hear his harsh words? What about your job?"
"Don’t worry, Mom. Didn’t you see he’s stopped talking?" Wa Zicong said, "As long as I’m of use to him, he definitely won’t lay a finger on me."
"Of use?" Wa’s mother was momentarily confused.
"After all, I’ve been with Gu Nuan for so long, and the moment they think of this, they’ll believe I’m of some use." A flash went through Wa Zicong’s eyes as he remembered how Chen Jiaming had deliberately arranged for him to interact with Gu Nuan time and again.
Chen Jiaming’s intentions were clear—it was all to indirectly trouble Xiao Yebai.
Heh, Wa Zicong’s current value had ironically become a mere foil to her. Google seaʀᴄh 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝✶𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮✶𝓷𝓮𝓽
Wa’s mother wasn’t foolish, and after understanding her son’s words, her eyes rolled back incredulously as she exclaimed, "What are you saying? Are you saying that we, mother and son, now have to rely on her to survive?"
The sudden outburst from his mother was actually quite accurate, although that was not at all what Wa’s mother had meant to say.
"Zicong, don’t, go back and beg them father and daughter—" Wa’s mother clutched her son, unwilling to leave the elevator, to rely on Gu Nuan was worse than death to her!
"Mom!" Wa Zicong’s expression suddenly changed, "Let me tell you the truth, neither the father nor the daughter are easy to deal with. If I lower my head once, the next time, they will certainly tear me limb from limb and leave no corpse intact, if that’s what you want—"
Wa’s mother shook her head, "No, you are her husband, how could she possibly?"
"How could she not? For money, anything is possible. They are that kind of people; otherwise, they wouldn’t have reached their current status. Which merchant doesn’t have dirty hands? Just like Dad—"
Upon hearing her son’s last words, Wa’s mother’s face changed drastically, and suddenly, she let go of her son’s arm.
Wa Zicong gave a cold glance at the fleeting expression she tried to mask, then turned and continued walking.
Following behind him, Wa’s mother asked in a low voice, "The house is theirs, and you’ve now had a fallout with them. Where will we live?"
