Chapter 435 [Giving and Receiving Favor]

Mother arrived at Jinling Prefecture, and ideally, Ah Ruo should have come to see her immediately. However, Aunt Yun happened to come in a hurry, and the day before, Ah Ruo wasn’t even at Jinling Prefecture, as she had taken Hu Shangke with her to play at Disneyland in Hu City.

Now she had just returned, left Hu Shangke behind, and came to the Academy to see her mother.

Actually, Ah Ruo would have liked to bring Hu Shangke along, but Hu Shangke himself was timid and didn’t dare to come to such a “meet the parents” scene, so he found an excuse and slipped away.

The mother and daughter hadn’t seen each other for a few months. Over the past year, Ah Ruo had been living mostly in Jinling Prefecture, and it was rare for her to return to Port City. The last time she returned was when Old Man Liu passed away.

When they met, they chatted about family matters first, knowing that the company was doing well and the family was all safe and sound.

Then, Aunt Yun asked about Ah Ruo’s situation.

“How is your relationship with that Hu guy in Jinling Prefecture developing?”

Faced with her mother’s inquiry, Ah Ruo thought for a moment, with a hint of helplessness in her smile: “I don’t really know.”

“How can you not know about your own matters?” Aunt Yun frowned.

“To say I love him a lot, definitely not. But to say there is feeling, there is some feeling.” Ah Ruo didn’t hide anything, said frankly: “I have indeed developed some interest in him.”

Aunt Yun frowned: “Before I came, I talked with your brother. Our opinion is that the Liu Family doesn’t need to rely on marrying a daughter for alliances, even if this Hu guy has a good relationship with Chen Yan, it’s still not worth it for our Liu Family.”

Ah Ruo shook her head: “At the beginning, I had some motives, but later…with Hu Shangke, it wasn’t because of that.”

Aunt Yun slowly set down her teacup: “How so?”

Ah Ruo whispered: “Mom. Do you remember, back when I was sixteen… before you sent me to study in Singapore, that period?”

Aunt Yun was taken aback.

Ah Ruo said softly: “During that time, you were in a bad mood, although you tried hard to hide it in front of me, I wasn’t so stupid, I could see.

During that period, dad’s affair with the female assistant at his company couldn’t be concealed anymore and was brought to you, right.”

Aunt Yun: “…”

“Such things, I have seen happen several times since I was young.

That female assistant was later dealt with by you and removed from dad’s side.

Before that? The beauty pageant third place winner? And the actress from Japan? And…”

Ah Ruo spoke lightly, counting on her fingers as she spoke.

Then she laughed: “Not talking about my dad, just my brother, Liu Zhaoming, Mr. Liu, now Chairman Liu.

I heard my sister-in-law has already driven away two women from his side. Even now, I know my brother has a house over at Repulse Bay, where he keeps one.

The last time I saw my sister-in-law… Her appearance was exactly the same as yours when I was young.

Struggling to suppress the resentment in her heart, working hard to maintain dignity, fighting wits and courage with the women outside, while trying to keep her husband’s heart…

Saying this, Ah Ruo rolled her eyes: “Living like this for a lifetime, isn’t it exhausting?”

Aunt Yun was silent for a long time, then whispered: “Women marrying into wealthy families, isn’t it a lifetime like this.

And men… aren’t they all the same.”

Ah Ruo smiled lightly: “I’m confident, if I’m together with Hu Shangke, I can hold him tightly and make him never dare to cheat in his life!”

Pausing for a moment, she said softly: “The richer the man, the more powerful, the more capable, the less confident I am in holding him.

What if they are capable?

Look at Chen Yan, when he first met in Port City, by his side was that young girl from the Yang Family, named Lu Sisi.

But now, within two years, Lu Sisi has disappeared somewhere. And now, Chu Keqing is by his side, becoming his woman.

After staying with Hu Shangke for a while, I sometimes can’t help but think I don’t want to live like mom and sister-in-law, that kind of life for a lifetime.

I don’t lack money to spend, even though dad left most of the company assets to my brother when he left, he also left me what I deserved.

Even if I lie flat, my life will be guaranteed with wealth and honor, so there’s really no need to look for a formidable husband.

Someone like Hu Shangke, I can hold him, so it’s the most reliable.”

Aunt Yun thought for a moment, then said: “Your matters, as long as you understand what you want to do, it’s fine. The family won’t force you, nor will we set any obstacles.”

Pausing, her expression grew more serious: “Let’s talk about Chen Yan’s situation.

I heard about the Yang Family girl, the one we all met, named Lu Sisi, encountered some trouble?”

When it came to serious matters, Ah Ruo’s expression grew solemn.

“Previously, when Lu Sisi encountered trouble, the police investigated it.

The incident stirred up quite a storm.

Lu Sisi’s father is an illegitimate son placed by the Yang Family in Jinling Prefecture to oversee their assets, originally a fringe figure in the Yang Family.

That Yang Family illegitimate son in Jinling Prefecture, without supervision, lived freely and indulged himself.

Later on, somehow he became enamored with a gold digger. This playboy even married the gold digger and had a child, the first-born being a daughter, Lu Sisi.

Lu Sisi was not well-liked by the Yang Family from a young age, allegedly because of some incidents in her youth, and was never allowed into the family register.
