The other end of the line remained shrouded in mystery.
Mrs. Chen spoke again, “You still don’t trust me? Do I look like the sort who doesn’t check her facts? If she really had some significant ties, the most could be her past adoption by the Zuo family.”
“But Old Master Zuo passed away recently, didn’t he? Who would care for an outsider? Miss Zuo Xianyu said it herself; she’s mine to deal with as I please.” At that point, the person on the other end of the phone finally relaxed.
As the call concluded, Mrs. Chen felt triumphant. Her eyes glinted maliciously. “Dare to challenge me?”
She had triple-checked with the Zuo family; they would not interfere in Si Fuqing’s matters.
Without the Zuo family, couldn’t the Chen family rule all of Lin City?
The butler smiled, tactfully flattering her, “If she has the misfortune to cross you, it’s a lesson for her. A lesson to know who she cannot afford to offend.”
“Exactly, we can use her to get a deal with Mr. Liu,” Mrs. Chen chuckled, “and conveniently solve some of our immediate problems.”
She was wholly unaware of the intricacies of the business world, serving only as a housewife at home.
Seeing the Chen family’s patriarch so distressed lately, she was also quite concerned.
Even if the Chen family couldn’t break into the city of Sijiu, they couldn’t let their foundation be eroded, could they?
Mrs. Chen often bragged to her old friends about how well she had married. Her vanity was strong, and she had no intention of losing face.
The butler thought for a moment and ventured, “Madam, about your sister, she…
“My parents may dote on her, but in the end, she hasnt married as well as I have,” Mrs. Chen was dismissive. “She’s on her own in Sijiu, struggling with heart problems. I doubt she has much time left.”
The butler wisely did not press further.
“Enough,” Mrs. Chen rose gracefully, “I’m off to get my nails done with Mrs. Liu. I await Mr. Liu’s good news.”
On the Zuo family’s end.
The elder Mrs. Zuo had been admitted to the hospital last night and remained in a coma.
Zuo Tianfeng had no choice but to cancel all his commitments to stay by her bedside in the hospital. He left all company matters in the hands of Zuo Xianyu.
Zuo Xianyu was working from home when she received an urgent call from her assistant manager.
“Miss Zuo, something terrible has happened!” The assistant manager’s voice was laced with urgency. “Our company is trending on social media!” “Trending?” Zuo Xianyu frowned. “On Weibo?”
She usually paid little attention to online matters. The Zuo business wasn’t involved in the entertainment industry, so why would it suddenly become a hot topic?
“The situation is complex. I’ve sent you the details,” the assistant manager paused to catch his breath, then continued, “Take a look and decide what to do. ”
Zuo Xianyu opened the new message box and saw the screenshots her assistant manager had sent her.
First came several posts from gossip accounts.
[Breaking News Today]: Face-off between the Zuo family and Si Fuqing! The Zuo family begs while Si Fuqing ruthlessly turns her back. Is there a shocking inside story, or is she just a cold-blooded ingrate?
Below were a few pictures; one of them depicted the elder Mrs. Zuo attempting to take Si Fuqing’s hand.
As long as something involved Si Fuqing, it immediately generated heat.
The Mousses knew she had many haters, so they often watched Weibo closely.
The post had garnered many comments.
[Were you there? If not, shut your mouth.]
[We may not know exactly what kind of person Sisi is from behind our screens, but you have no right to speak of her without knowing the full story!]
[I have to say, I have to say that Si Fuqing is an ingrate!]
[Enough, OP. I was there, I witnessed the whole event. At first, I also thought Si Fuqing was being disloyal, but do you know why? She never had it good at the Zuo family, living a life of hardship!
She was nearly killed several times and was ostracized by the younger generation of the Zuo family. For a trashy noble family like this, she’s better off not staying. And people have the nerve to call her cold-blooded? The Zuo family are the ones who should die!
I don’t know how the elder Mr. Zuo treated Si Fuqing, so I won’t comment on that. But with the new generation of the Zuo family being this ruthless, I don’t see a long future for them.]
[I saw it too, I have evidence!]
More and more people began to speak out, and someone even uploaded a video taken last night.
The video clearly captured the moment Si Fuqing revealed her injuries.
Now, the video had received ten thousand shares, and its impact was undoubtedly huge.
The hashtag #ZuoFamily, SiFuqing had been thrust into trending and seemed likely to break into the hot list.
Zuo Xianyu felt a lump in her throat, almost unable to catch her breath..
