Every family has its own difficult-to-recite scripture.

  "Hey, Xi Yi, are there still some people at your place?"

  Chai Yingchun turned the steering wheel, looked up at the rearview mirror inside the car, and saw Jingwen lying in Xu Yi's arms, her face buried in his chest, her hands holding his hand in her arms, as gentle as a little kitten.

  "Auntie, there are many people in my family, grandfather, aunt, uncle, and a sister who works at the Ministry of Publicity...” Xu Yijian briefly introduced his family situation to Chai Yingchun, then gently pinched Jing Wenwen's small hand with his fingers. "Auntie, I really like being together with you and Wenwen, I hope you won't object."

  "Xu Yi, this matter is not urgent, let's talk about it later."

  Chai Yingchun smiled and said, "Right, you didn't come this time just to see me, but also to cooperate with our Jing family. So, how do you plan to cooperate?"

  Xu Yiyi was stunned and didn't speak, while Jing Wen, who was lying in his arms, looked dissatisfied. He let out a heavy hum from his nose, "Mom, I've already talked to Third Uncle about this. Our family invested 300 million yuan in Xu Yi's company, holding 30% of the shares. In the future, if Xu Yi wants to transfer the company's shares, our Jing family has priority."

  "You little girl, why are you sticking your elbows out?"

  Chai Yingchun smiled wryly, "Do you know, with 300 million funds, I can establish several real estate companies. The real estate industry itself relies on bank funding to survive and doesn't require too much cash inflow. If we freeze 300 million in funds, the family's cash flow will be tight."

  "Hmph, anyway, Third Uncle has already agreed to it. It's a good opportunity to give the money to your daughter and son-in-law, isn't it?" Jing Yunwen climbed out of Xu Yi's arms, letting out a heavy hum from her nose, "All these years, you've worked yourself to death for the Jing family business, what have you gotten in return? Just enough for me to buy a Cayenne, and they're still gossiping about it."

  "Mom, how about this? Let you manage Xu Yi's company instead. After all, it's better for the daughter-in-law to work for her own family rather than letting the benefits go to outsiders."

  Jing Wen suddenly blinked her beautiful eyes, "And besides, the Xu family is backing you up, no one dares to bully you."

  "Don't talk nonsense."

  Xu patted Jingwen's hand and chuckled, "Actually, Grandfather is very strict with us. Otherwise, I wouldn't have run to Jiangnan to make a living."

  "Of course, without breaking the law, I suppose there will also be friends of the Xu family who are willing to give me a few projects to do, so that I can also have something to eat."

  Chi Yingchun was taken aback by the words, quickly lifted his head to take a glance at the rearview mirror. This kid Xu Yi has an ulterior motive, he thought to himself. What he had just said meant that there were benefits to cooperating with Xu Yi's company. But this kid immediately hinted that the reputation of the old Xu family still held weight. What does it mean to not break the law? In today's business world, how many people aren't making a living in the gray area?

  Moreover, Lao San also said that Xu Yi's father, Xu Zhengchun, has gone to Su Province as the Executive Vice Governor, and it is clear that he will have a bright future. As the hometown of the Xu family, would the people of Jiangnan Province not give face to Xu Yi, the eldest grandson of the Xu family?

  This kid is also a clever one, and although his daughter is also very clever, she might be eaten alive by him. Chai Yingchun let out a sigh in her heart, fearing that the threshold of the old Lü's house was too high to enter, especially since Lü Zhengchun had now clearly emerged from the low point of his official career.

  Jiangsu Province is one of the top economic provinces in terms of GDP growth, and Xu Zhengchun's appointment as Executive Vice Governor means that if he follows the usual path, even if he can't become the Governor of Jiangsu, he could be transferred to govern another province, which would mean Xu Zhengchun has officially entered the central leadership's line of sight.

  With the prestige of the Xu family in the political arena of the Republic, as long as Xu Zhengchun's ability is still good, taking another step up will almost be a problem-free process. In this way, the influence of the Xu family will inevitably go further, and at that time, whether Xu Yi can marry the daughter of which family will not be something he can decide on his own.

  But seeing his daughter's deeply affectionate appearance, Chai Yingchun swallowed back the words that had reached his lips.

  "Xu Yi, because you and Wenwen are friends, I'd better not get involved in this matter."

  Chai Yingchun smiled wryly, "You're a clever person, you must be able to see my situation, so I won't say any more. You have to treat us well in the future, or else."

  She hadn't finished speaking, but Xu Yi understood her meaning and nodded, "Auntie, don't worry, I will definitely treat Wenwen well."

  "This is just about right, come on, I'll give you a kiss."

  Jing Minwen's face lit up with excitement, and she leaned in to give Xu Yi a loud smooch on the cheek, making a crisp "muah" sound. As Xu Yi stroked Jing Minwen's long hair behind her back, he vaguely understood Chai Yingchun's predicament - this was an extremely capable woman who was also stunningly beautiful and charming, one could even say she was a femme fatale.

  This is also one of the reasons for her current situation. The business of the Jing family can be done to this extent today, and it is inseparable from Chai Yingchun. However, her husband has passed away for so many years, and there must be many men who want to take advantage of her. Such a beauty, with so much money in hand, who wouldn't want to have both?

  As long as I can get Bai Yingchun, this life will be set, and I can just slack off every day.

  It's probably also the reason why Chai Yingchun has some reservations about herself, she might be worried that she will use her family's power to swallow Jing Wen whole, leaving no bones or residue. It's understandable for Chai Yingchun to have such thoughts, as parents, who doesn't want their children to live a happy and carefree life?

  However, Chai Yingchun probably didn't think of leaving the Jing family, otherwise she would have grasped herself and used the Xu family's power to help her escape from the Jing family.

  The BMW slowly drove into the city, a sudden ringtone of the mobile phone sounded, Chai Yingchun took out her mobile phone and looked at it for a moment, frowned, and directly hung up the phone.

  "Mom, is it that Lu Baozi again who's been bothering you?"

  Jing Wen saw the situation and frowned, her small mouth slightly pursed. "With his appearance that's below the poverty line and needs help, he thinks he can eat swan meat like a toad, but doesn't even dare to take a piss and look at himself in the mirror, is he worthy?"

  "How can you talk like this? If it weren't for Secretary Lu's care, our company wouldn't have grown to such a large scale."

  Chai Yingchun furrowed her brow and gave Jing Wenming a sideways glance, "If it weren't for his support, do you think your third uncle could have competed for this vice mayor position?"

  "Mother, if Grandfather didn't let you marry, won't he use you to hang onto this Lu Baozi?" Jing Yunwen's eyebrows furrowed, and she immediately thought of another question.

  "Good girl, Mom doesn't want to talk about this topic anymore, okay?"

  Chai Yingchun's voice revealed a hint of pleading, Jing Minwen hummed and turned to look out the window, suddenly pointing, "Mom, go to Hilton Hotel, I'll stay with Xu Yi at this hotel from now on, not going back home."

  "Okay, let's stay at this hotel then."

  Chi Yingchun was taken aback by his words and quickly nodded, turning the steering wheel to stop the car.

  Jing Wen pushed open the car door and got out, holding Xu Yi's arm as they walked into the hotel lobby. The Hilton Hotel was a world-renowned luxury hotel, and as the most economically developed prefecture-level city in Jiangnan Province, Yánlíng naturally became one of the targets for Hilton's business expansion, and it was also the only five-star hotel in Yánlíng City.

  Chai Yingchun walked into the hotel and saw Jing Wen holding onto Xu Yi's arm, "Mom, we've already booked a room. I'm not going back home to live."

  "This, how can this be?"

  Chai Yingchun furrowed her brow, but Jing Wen didn't seem to notice her words, perhaps just out of politeness, and led Xu Yi's arm towards the elevator.

  Xu furrowed his brow and couldn't help but sigh inwardly, it seemed that there was also discord between the mother and daughter, perhaps this visit had come at a bad time.

  "Auntie, let me talk to her for a bit."

  Xu Yi nodded towards Chai Yingchun, "Auntie, go up and sit for a while, give me a brief introduction to the family situation, otherwise, I'll feel a bit uneasy and won't dare to meet Wenwen's grandfather."

  Chai Yingchun nodded, and she was more and more fond of Xu Yi, this future son-in-law. This young man was not only clever but also so considerate, the only shortcoming was that his family background was a bit too good.

  That's why he can let his daughter get a good deal, because his elopement to learn Taoism has affected his reputation. Once Xu Zhangchun shows his value and his career reaches new heights, the big families in the capital will surely swarm to propose marriage to the Xu family.

  At that time, what competitive advantage did his own daughter have?

  The only advantage is that Xu Yi's heart, but even if the daughter grasped Xu Yi's heart, what can be done? Xu Yi, this kind of family son, marriage is destined to not be his own decision.

  "Ding" went the elevator as it came to a stop. Jing Xunwen, with Xu Yi's arm in hers, stepped out of the elevator, followed by Chai Yingchun.

  "Anyway, you can't treat Auntie like this, it's very impolite."

  As soon as she entered, Xu Yi's face sank, pulling Jing Wen's arm, "I don't know what conflicts you have between mother and daughter, but you must recognize the reality, she is your mother, the only mother in this world who will not harm you."

  Besides, I can see that Auntie has been having a tough time all these years. What's there to hide between mother and daughter? Whatever the issue is, just put it out in the open and clear the air. Why must you both keep it bottled up inside and make life difficult for each other?

  Jing Wen clenched her teeth, her slender body trembling slightly. Suddenly, Chai Yingchun flung herself onto the sofa and burst into deep, heart-wrenching sobs, tears gushing out like a fountain.

  "Go and apologize to Auntie."

  Xu Yi kissed Jing Rong's forehead, "The Jing family may use you for their own benefit, and your uncles may also use you to achieve certain goals. Even if they sell you out, they won't have any psychological trauma, at most just a little discomfort in their hearts."

  "Auntie is the person in this world who least wants you to get hurt, and now there's one more person, me."

  Jing Wen's fingers were clenched together, and he looked up at Xu Yi, who nodded slightly.

  "Mom, I'm sorry, I was wrong."

  Jing Wen walked to the front of the sofa, looking at her mother's tear-stained face, and her heart ached. Tears burst forth uncontrollably as she rushed over. Chai Yingchun stood up, embracing Jing Wen in her arms, and the two women burst into loud wails together.

  It seems that Jing's family has a serious problem. Xu furrowed his brow, pulled out a cigarette, lit it and took a puff.
