Chapter 321 The Zhu family was in trouble.
Zhu Cheng was furious, she was the one who saved that bloody team from getting broken, if not for her neither Boss Cai nor that bitch Tu Tingling would have made it this far and yet, they actually kicked her out? Her? She was the benefactor of that team, how dare they do this to her! What's more every time she thought about it the angrier she became! How dare they do this to her, she was the one who took the responsibility when those useless bitches couldn't do anything! And now that, they have become successful they actually threw her out like she was some sort of trash?
Zhu Cheng wanted to take the high road, but she knew herself that the reason she worked hard for wasn't that she wanted to uplift the team but because she wanted to make use of the opportunity and then use it to get a promotion, she never once thought about the team all along she was thinking about how she should make the most out of the opportunity that was provided to her and then milk it for all it was worth it. But she liked thinking of herself as the team benefactor, after all, when she thought of herself like that, it gave her more sense of satisfaction and comforted her ego.
Though Zhu Cheng was raging mad, she couldn't do anything to Boss Cai and Tu Tingling at the moment and what was more she was also getting a headache when she thought about the expenses that were waiting for her at the home. She and her family members seemed to have gotten used to the comfortable life that they were living with the money that Lang was sending them every month, the money wasn't much but it was enough for their family to live with ease.
Her parents were now used to eating meat twice a day and so were the kids, even she was now used to drinking the fresh fruit wine that was sold in the restaurant that belonged to official Song and what was more one jar of fine will cost her one tael! She of course couldn't afford that crazy price but she could at least a few cups of wine for hundred cents. However, now she could no longer do that!
When they fell out with Lang before Zhu Cheng and her parents set on their high throne in a huff, feeling that Lang has gone too far after all they were her relatives and had given sanctuary to her son when no one was willing to take in him. They were damn adamant to make Lang apologise to them and thought that they wouldn't take the initiative to reconcile with her no matter what unless she and Zhu Qian came to their door on their knees and rub their noses on the threshold of their house much less take Lang Hui into their care.
Zhu Cheng and her husband thought it through, Lang had no relatives around her anymore and their family was the only one Lang could count on. That woman also loved her worthless son who was not even a proper man, even if she was unwilling she would have to leave that brat in their care, after all, there was no way she would be able to take Lang Hui to the brothel with her unless she wanted to ruin the reputation of her son who was still so young. Besides, there was no such thing as an overnight feud between relatives, their family and Lang were in-laws and Zhu Qian was her biological brother who was born from the same daddy, and without their parents' support, she was sure that Zhu Qian would definitely come back to their family and ask for forgiveness.
After all, a mer without a paternal family behind his back was like a young mer who can be bullied at any second.
Zhu Cheng's thoughts were simple, she believed that for the sake of his paternal family support, Zhu Qian would have to suck this injustice up. And what was more that brat was only a mer, just how many mers died every day? Maybe hundreds or maybe even thousands—— if one was to dig in the backyard of a young mistress then the number of mers skeletons that will be dug out would definitely be enough to fill an entire mansion. The mers were such useless things, if one died—— they can always bring another one to replace it, was there any need to make a fuss about a mer's death? She was assured that her brother will definitely choose his paternal family over his worthless son.
She thought of this certainty and waited for the husband and wife to come and beg her family. She didn't care and the rest of the Zhu family didn't care either, in their eyes what they did was the right thing to do —— after all, compared to Lang Hui they will definitely pay more attention to their children right? And it wasn't like his death would have caused much of a damage to Lang's family if anything ——they saved her the efforts to save money for that useless mer's dowry.
The Zhu family thought like this so, they naturally wouldn't care about what was going on with Lang and Zhu Qian, they continued to live their extravagant life. They ate, drank and spent their money however they wanted to spend it.
The Zhu family had long developed the usual indisposition of acting like the rich, Zhu Cheng and her sister used to do some work but ever since they took Lang Hui into their house, they completely turned into a bag of lazy bones and started to rely on the money that Lang sent for Lang Hui after much saving. They didn't care how Lang saved the money, and what kind of sacrifices she had to make to earn that sum of money they were lavishly spending. They just cared about spending the money and living a colourful life.
