Chapter 556: Suppressing the Guan Family
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Guan Bo woke up and realized that Guan Lei had shown mercy to him. He felt an indescribable emotion. As a member of the Guan family, he was jealous and even colluded with the Gu family to kill his brother. He had indeed gone a little overboard.
On the other side, upon knowing Meng Yu’s location, Shen Xi was still thinking about how to teach Li Zhe a lesson. Zhao Yuan, who had just returned from her trip, brought Huang Min to visit.
“Why are you two together?” Shen Xi greeted them and asked in confusion.
Zhao Yuan’s cheeks were full of fruit as she said, “Last time, we added each other as friends, so we chatted occasionally. After a while, we became familiar with each other. Didn’t my parents come to Beijing to discuss a collaboration? Her parents happened to be coming to Beijing to develop their career, so they made an appointment today.”
Huang Min, on the other hand, looked at the luxurious villa and said in surprise, “Shen Xi, your family is so rich.”
“When I first came here, I was scared too. I thought Xi was being kept by someone. Later, I then found out that Xi’s grandparents had given it to her.” Zhao Yuan said.
“Xi, what do your grandpa and grandfather do?” Huang Min asked in disbelief.
“My mother and I have been in Beijing for a while, so we know a little about Beijing. Those who can buy a house here are either rich or n.o.ble.”
Zhao Yuan, who had always been insensitive, suddenly remembered she had not asked this question back then. She quickly looked at Shen Xi curiously. “Yes, Xi, what do your grandparents do?”
Just as Shen Xi was about to tell her everything, Huang Min’s eyes were in a daze. She walked straight to a place and picked up a photo in each hand. She looked at Shen Xi and asked, “Shen Xi, are these your family?”
Shen Xi nodded and said, “Yes. On your left hand are photos of me, Cousin, Grandpa, Grandma, Aunt, and Uncle. On your right hand are photos of me,
Cousin, Grandpa, Grandma, Uncle, and Aunt-in-law.”
Huang Min swallowed her saliva and asked carefully, “Your father is from the
Shen family in Beijing? Your mother is from the Lu family in Beijing?”
Shen Xi was slightly stunned and said, “Yes, I am. How did you know?”
Huang Min gently put the two photo frames back in their original places, then touched her little heart and said, “Mom and I came to Beijing this time for research. “We plan to develop in Beijing, so we did some research on the market environment and investment environment in Beijing. That’s why I understand a little.”
Shen Xi nodded and said, “So it’s like this.”
Zhao Yuan, who was at the side, said in confusion, “What Shen family and Lu family?”
Huang Min mocked Zhao Yuan without holding back. “You actually don’t know? To think that you followed your parents to Beijing for so long.”
Zhao Yuan pouted unhappily and said, “They’re not interested in doing business. Who cares about this stuff? But I know about the Guan family and the Gu family, and their rivalry.”
“You know a lot about gossip.” Huang Min smiled. “Of the four big families in Beijing, the Guan family and the Gu family had military and political backgrounds. They stood on different sides, so they were naturally enemies. Compared to the Shen and Lu families, there were more people who cared about the relationship between the two families. On the other hand, the Shen and Lu families seem to be more pure. They are just merchant families and do not have any complicated relationships, but…”
Huang Min paused and looked at Shen Xi before continuing, “To be able to stand in Beijing purely by doing business and become one of the four great families, it must not be simple. The network of connections hidden in the depths must be quite powerful. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have gone against the Guan and Gu families. For example, I heard recently that the Guan family was jointly bullied by the Shen and Lu families.”
Shen Xi was slightly stunned. She knew a little about the familys network, but she did not notice that the Shen and Lu families bullied the Guan family. She asked) “What happened?”
Huang Min looked at Shen Xi in surprise and asked, “You don’t know?”
Shen Xi shook her head. Zhao Yuan, who was beside her, widened her eyes and shook her head subconsciously, indicating that she wanted to know too.
“There are factions in doing business. After my Mom and I learned about it, we realized that the Shen and Lu families have been crazily suppressing the Guan family’s business these past two days. The projects that the Guan family wanted, the Shen and Lu families would fight for them. The clients of the Guan family were directly suppressed by the Shen and Lu families, causing their funds to be cut off in a short period of time. If they could not pay the Guan family, they would directly abandon the order. There were also many who attacked the Guan family’s supplier.” Huang Min said.
Shen Xi frowned. This seemed like something her family would do. She thought that her grandparents would not do anything after she said that she would take revenge on her own. It seemed that she was too naive..
