Chapter 520: Chapter 409: Is the Birth Mother Indifferent Like a Chrysanthemum? The Young Lady Sabotages Everything – End 2
As soon as she opened it, the screen was flooded with news.
Through these reports, she was roughly able to piece together the events that had occurred after they had left the previous day.
Miss Zhou had been arrested on charges of intentional assault, and both the grandfather and Xie Yanshang publicly declared the engagement null and void. The Zhou Family was in a panic, quickly abandoning the car to save the general, immediately distancing themselves from Miss Zhou in an attempt to mend the relationship between the two families.
Besides, after they left, the grandfather explicitly announced that Xie Yanshang was his heir.
Uncle Xie was quite unwilling to accept all this, but there was nothing he could do about it.
Having committed too many misdeeds before, he had long lost the trust of the people. Neither the grandfather nor the other shareholders would give him another chance to bounce back.
Uncle Xie knew that from now on, he could no longer make a move against Xie Yanshang and Su Zhiruan. As Xie Yanshang’s heir, if he behaved himself, he could still make some small money and live a much better life than ordinary people. But if he tried to act up again, Xie Yanshang was no saint; his gentleness was reserved only for those he truly cared for.
Su Zhiruan turned off the news and opened WeChat.
The messages popped up instantaneously, and due to the large number, it even hung for a second.
Most of them were greetings from business partners, former collaborators who had never expected that their partnership with a small company was with the wife of Xie Group’s heir. They were all shrewd, naturally knowing that greeting Madam Xie at this time could provide an opportunity to get acquainted in person.
There were also greeting messages from the company’s secretaries and other employees, college classmates, and others.
Madam Xie and Father Xie also sent their greetings, and Su Zhiruan replied to them first.
Next were Su Qin and Ning Fu.
Su Zhiruan didn’t reply to them. She realized she hadn’t paid attention to the Su Family’s situation for a long time. With a thought, she decided to contact the private detective she had been using and opened the chat box of the detective.
Soon, the detective sent her an entire zipped file package.
[Miss Su, this is the information you asked us to investigate. The pictures, texts, and videos are all inside.]
Su Zhiruan replied with an [Okay]
She then opened the file.
She didn’t know until she looked, and the look was shocking.
After Su Qin and Zhu Manqing got married, they discovered that the white moonlight they had each cheated for was actually a demon that devours without spitting out bones. At first, it was his own willingness to fall into this demon’s den and spend money on her.
But later, as Su Family was not that wealthy, the rate at which Zhu Manqing spent money far exceeded Su Qin’s fantasy. He wanted Zhu Manqing to quit her extravagant lifestyle and set a budget of 8,000 yuan a month for her to manage the entire household.
Of course, Zhu Manqing was not happy with this arrangement, as 8,000 yuan couldn’t even match the price of a pair of her branded sandals, leading to intense arguments between them.
Zhu Manqing was very self-aware; she had always positioned herself as a mistress who climbed to a higher status. If men liked mistresses for the excitement they brought, then they had to be willing to spend money. Su Qin, unwilling to spend money yet still wanting to indulge in romance,
disdained a woman who, ungroomed and homely, devoted herself to her family.
He also resented an elegantly dressed woman for not being domestic and spending prolifically.
How could there be such a deal in the world where a woman both stylish and gentle catered to a whole family with a meager budget!
Thus, Zhu Manqing couldn’t take it anymore. She took the money from Su Qin’s account and on an ordinary day, fled abroad to be with a foreigner.
Su Qin’s company declared bankruptcy, and his assets, including his house and car, were seized; he was left to wander the streets.
Meanwhile, Ning Fu, who thought she had raised her son Tianci well, anticipated better days ahead.
However, her previous indulgence toward her son backfired. Picky when eating, refusing slightly inferior ingredients, even after transferring to a normal public school, he still acted like a rich second generation, throwing his weight around smugly, which cost Ning Fu quite a lot. Tianci, who had bullied his sister Su Zhiruan in the past, turned green with envy seeing her not only married into a wealthy family but also having her own successful company. He ignored Ning Fu’s earlier sacrifices and thought only about how to make money every day.
The most ironic part was yet to come.
Initially, Ning Fu detested the original Su Zhiruan intensely, often telling Tianci in front of him that he should sell his sister to some old man in exchange for a dowry. Although Tianci was young and didn’t fully understand, he remembered this saying.
