Chapter 1290: Chapter 1290: Turmoil
“It’s best to find someone to gather evidence on Li Shuanzhu and that woman! Evidence of infidelity will be highly beneficial for you in dividing the property. After all, Li Shuanzhu has been managing the store for years, and the court is likely to consider the store as marital property, so not even a penny should go easily to Li Shuanzhu.
If it can be sold, sell it. If you’re worried about the money, you can trust my older sister to help you safeguard it. Rest assured, she won’t let you down. When the time comes, write an IOU if needed, present the evidence if necessary. The court won’t make you hand over the money. No money, let’s see how Li Shuanzhu can keep his arrogance then.
Don’t feel sentimental, if you want to protect your career, give up the house and other things, otherwise, there will be many troubles later.
There are plenty of opportunities for doing business. You can start again anywhere after leaving the provincial capital. Whatever help you need, we’ll support you. As long as you want to start over, it’s never too late.
Don’t pay too much attention to those things, don’t give the other party any chance to bite you back.
Also, be firm; your children need to learn a lesson. Otherwise, if you expect them to be filial in the future, that’s simply impossible. Letting them suffer a little won’t harm them, don’t be swayed by the children, then Li Shuanzhu will have no bargaining chips.”
Bai Xiao feared that Liu Hong was still being led by the nose by Li Shuanzhu.
It was clear that Liu Hong couldn’t bear to part with the children.
Just afraid that Liu Hong would soften, Li Shuanzhu probably had such an easy time manipulating Liu Hong precisely because the children were her lifeblood.
She didn’t want to hurt the children.
That became her Achilles’ heel.
Liu Hong bit her lip, raised her head with a determined look in her eyes.
“I understand. Don’t worry, I know what to do. I won’t be soft-hearted.”
Recalling the children’s words last night and everything she had seen, her three children were close with that vixen as if they were a family. Li Shuanzhu, that woman, and the three children went out joyfully for dinner.
And no one cared about her feelings, she was their mother, yet she wasn’t as good as a mistress.
Such children probably didn’t even consider her their mother.
If that’s the case, no matter how good she is to them, what’s the point?
Maybe Bai Xiao was right; she should be a bit ruthless.
Let them know what the world is truly like.
Bai Xiao sent her back to the hotel.
She didn’t leave, waiting to take Liu Hong to the airport.
Liu Hong planned to go back today.
Quick and decisive.
She didn’t feel at ease, so she escorted her there.
Ah.
Liu Hong being like this today was something she never expected.
He Weng’s words, as well as the Zhuo Family’s matter, were still waiting for her to handle.
But she couldn’t believe she could leave Liu Hong behind and just leave.
The Zhuo Family’s matter was just riding the wave, the ability of the big crocodile certainly should not be underestimated.
The Asian financial crisis, back then, affected many countries, creating a stormy era. In the end, it took the intervention of many governments to stabilize the situation.
Slaying the big crocodile would cause a bloody scene.
The Zhuo Family wanted to hitch a ride to destroy He Weng and Yu Feixue, but it also depended on their ability.
Sitting at home peacefully, yet still dragged into the turmoil.
Bai Xiao sighed, amused and helpless. Since having children, she’s really become soft and no longer causes trouble. At least, she no longer has any enemies, leading a simple and happy life.
But hatred in the world doesn’t come into being casually.
Like the Zhuo Family, He Weng and Yu Feixue are friends as close as family to her, yet the Zhuo Family probably doesn’t care about one Bai Xiao.
The Bai Family couldn’t have much power in such a financial storm.
Unable to withstand it.
But precisely she is Bai Xiao after all.
Who says she is Bai Xiao?
Thinking of He Weng and Yu Feixue, she couldn’t help but feel stirred.
He Weng never married, she thought it was because of Liu Hong’s heartbreak.
But when He Weng encountered difficulties, his expression was so calm, it showed he had completely moved on.
The problem was He Weng still didn’t marry.
And when mentioning Yu Feixue, He Weng’s expression was cold, but Bai Xiao could still sense He Weng’s deliberate indifference. Based on He Weng and Yu Feixue’s relationship, the two had cooperated many times.
Even that ten billion was their joint masterpiece.
Logically, when talking about Yu Feixue, He Weng shouldn’t have this expression.
Moreover, He Weng wanted to help the Yu Family, otherwise, he wouldn’t have told her.
But why the deliberate indifference?
Could it be that something happened between Yu Feixue and He Weng?
Yu Feixue, that girl, also hasn’t married.
It was said she had a boyfriend, a doctoral student studying in Australia, quite a scholar.
It was heard that Yu Feixue pursued him relentlessly, leading to this relationship.
Bai Xiao didn’t think a woman taking the initiative was wrong, but it was strange they hadn’t married yet.
That doctor and Yu Feixue were at an age, yet still unmarried. Yu Feixue wasn’t anxious, but her grandmother and grandfather at home were about to fret to death.
What’s more, Uncle Yu Shaoyan having only one daughter, not being anxious would be odd.
This stubborn girl, whenever she saw her in Modu, always steered away from the topic, just not wanting to discuss it.
Is there something else going on?
Ah.
A life full of worries.
Now that her older brother got married, there’s finally a sister-in-law, and she’s an acquaintance, her best friend became her sister-in-law, also ensuring benefits don’t go to outsiders.
The family is prospering.
Why is she here this time!
It’s for An Cheng.
After An Zhixiang got married, Ke Lan had a son the following year, a year younger than Bai Xiao’s three daughters.
An Cheng seemed to have found solace.
Spending his days playing with his grandson, playing chess with old comrades, and practicing calligraphy, living a joyful life in old age.
An Zhixiang and Ke Lan are heading to work in an African country this time, for three years, and their son, An Xiaoyang, will stay behind.
A two-year-old child, An Cheng couldn’t care for him.
So, the couple discussed hiring a nanny.
Aunt Li was too old to care for a two-year-old child; it was too exhausting.
So they thought of hiring a professional nanny specifically for childcare.
Alright, the hired nanny seemed fine, forty-five years old, from the South, very articulate, tidy, and adept at taking care of children.
The little one quickly became familiar with the nanny.
Just as everyone was finally relieved, this nanny climbed into An Cheng’s bed.
Claimed to have an affair with An Cheng.
This turned the An Family upside down immediately.
An Cheng denied it, driven to the point of being hospitalized with a stroke.
An Zhixiang and Ke Lan couldn’t delay their mission, they had to leave.
The best person to handle this situation was An Zhigao, but An Zhigao just had appendicitis surgery, couldn’t even get out of bed, they feared if he knew he’d want to be strong, risking his health.
So, they kept it from him.
The nanny was still making a fuss.
Stubbornly staying at the An Family, claiming to accuse An Cheng of being a rascal.
Old age and encountering such a thing.
The whole family suffered in silence.
And couldn’t do anything about it.
An Zhixiang never handled such matters, was already flustered.
Called the second brother for help.
An Zhiyuan was busy with a case at that time, couldn’t spare time.
Bai Xiao had to come.
The nanny’s issue was just solved, not putting her in jail was already lenient.
Hired a new nanny for Xiaoyang, this time strictly screened, carefully selected, finally An Cheng was discharged from the hospital.
And then attended the older brother’s wedding.
Mingling with all sorts of matters.
