Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Mrs. Li was mocking Si Ming’s lover for giving birth to two children and now besieging Si Cheng, who was fighting alone in the Si Corporation.
Mrs. Li’s words. .h.i.t Zheng Wen in two sore spots. The so-called nurturing was actually just that when she gave birth to Si Cheng, her body was injured and it was very difficult for her to get pregnant again. That was why she found such an excuse to shut those people up.
Coupled with the fact that the Si family had only had one successor for a few generations, Zheng Wen had always felt that there was a problem with the quality of the sperm of the Si family’s men. Moreover, Si Ming always appeared honest in front of her, so she gave up on struggling to have a second child.
She did not expect that it would be such a mistake. Zheng Wen was in a sorry state.
However, who didn’t have dirt under their pot? Zheng Wen looked at Mrs. Li and sneered. “I don’t think there’s anything wrong with focusing on nurturing him. Si Cheng’s results have been outstanding since he was young. When he grew up and entered the company, the directors of the company were especially satisfied with him.”
“By the way, I heard that your eldest son drank and caused a ruckus at Linxi Clubhouse some time ago. He didn’t even look at who was standing behind Linxi Clubhouse and dared to cause trouble. But now, seeing that you’re still in the mood to come for a beauty treatment, I think he should have been released from the detention center.”
Speaking of this, Mrs. Li was so angry that her liver hurt. Her father-in-law was still the one in charge of the Li family. She had two sons and two daughters, but none of them were successful. Instead, an illegitimate child outside had caught her father-in-law’s eye and was now being taught by him to be the heir.
This was the last thing Mrs. Li could let anyone mention. She pointed at Zheng Wen and said sternly, “If you have time to care about other people’s matters, you should care about your husband first! Aren’t you always bragging that you’re the only loving couple in this circle? You’re indeed quite loving. You got played like a fool for 30 years!”
Zheng Wen rushed forward and wanted to make a move. The people from the beauty salon hurriedly went forward to stop the two of them and said good things. There were two more people who followed Mrs. Li.
“Mrs. Li, she might become a divorcee at any time. Let’s not argue with her and waste our time.”
“That’s right. Her maternal family is already on the verge of collapse. It’s still unknown if her son can keep his position as CEO. Let’s go to the private room first. I heard that a new instrument has been added. It’s especially effective in removing wrinkles!”
Mrs. Li had the upper hand in the first place. When she saw Zheng Wen being pulled by the staff, she smiled disdainfully. The Li family and the Si family’s strength were almost on par. She was not afraid of offending Zheng Wen. She turned around and went to the private room with the other two.
Zheng Wen was so angry at Mrs. Li’s gaze that she struggled hard. She wanted to pounce on her and tear her apart. The staff did not dare to offend either side. They desperately stopped her and kept saying good things to make Zheng Wen give up on the idea of fighting Mrs. Li.
After this incident, Zheng Wen was no longer in the mood to do beauty treatments. She returned to the car and called Si Cheng. As soon as the call went through, Zheng Wen cried. “Son, Mom can only rely on you. Your uncle’s company is no longer able to support me, so your father is not afraid of my family at all now. Now, those madams even dare to give me att.i.tude.”
Si Cheng had just successfully roped in a director and had only relaxed for a few minutes when he received a call from Zheng Wen. He immediately became frustrated, but he still had to restrain himself and comfort her. “Mom, don’t worry. I’m thinking of a way to weaken the power in their hands now, but they’ve been operating in the company for many years after all. They still need some time.”
When Zheng Wen heard Si Cheng’s voice, she felt much calmer. She choked and said, “Alright, as long as you know what you’re doing. By the way, did you keep in touch with Bai Ting?”
“You have to secure the Bai family now. If you can successfully marry and build up the overseas market, the position of CEO will definitely be yours! Also, when are you going to get a divorce? Otherwise, the Bai family will think that we’re insincere!”
Si Cheng paused for a few seconds and replied in a low voice, “Mom, don’t worry. I’ll play by ear. I’m a little tired now. I’ll hang up first.”
Only then did Zheng Wen hear the fatigue in Si Cheng’s tone. She didn’t dare to force Si Cheng to get a divorce anymore. Her son was her only stake in the Si family now. “Then rest well. Mom won’t disturb you anymore.”
Si Cheng hung up the phone and stared at the phone screen in a daze for a while. He opened Bai Ting’s message page on WeChat and started typing.
Si Cheng: Tingting, are you free tomorrow night? I want to treat you to a meal.
Bai Ting: I’m a little busy tomorrow night. How about the night after tomorrow?
Si Cheng: “Sure, I’ll pick you up the night after tomorrow.”
Si Cheng turned off his phone and leaned back on the sofa. Tan Ming’s figure appeared in his mind. One moment he saw Bai Ting, and the other he saw Tan Ming. He didn’t know how to choose..
