Chapter 1435: Refusing to be Balanced (10)

Tang Shichu looked down at the shadow of the shoes in the gap outside the door and knew that Chen Xiuxiu had been hooked by what she said.

Chen Xiuxiu was indeed very excited. She had just been beaten because she had an affair with a married man. Now she saw that the man was going to be snatched back by a married woman. It would be impossible for her to get money again. She had not yet found her next employer. Then she heard Tang Shichu talking about the president of the Lan Group and his assistant. Especially when she heard that even a senior assistant could earn a million or even tens of millions a year, her eyes lit up instantly.

This woman was right. A man of destiny like the president of the Lan Group would definitely marry a daughter of a wealthy family of equal status. Although Chen Xiuxiu was vain and materialistic, she was also self-aware and knew that she could never marry a man like Lan Jigao, and she was not even qualified to be his mistress after marriage.

But Lan Jigao's assistant is different. Although she is an elite, her family background is simpler, so it is much easier for her to win his favor. It is also entirely possible for her to become his wife. Why would she be a mistress who is reviled by others when she can be his wife who spends his money legitimately? So it is indeed more cost-effective to hire his assistant!

Tang Shichu stared at the door of the toilet, and continued to talk to her non-existent good sister: "You don't believe I can win over an elite assistant? What does it matter if the assistant is too busy? I'll go and please his parents. You said that he is too busy as an assistant to have time for love, so can't I just win over his parents? I know men like this who are particularly ambitious in their careers best. What they want most is a wife who is obedient, filial, sensible, and will not disturb his work. She can help him take care of his parents and be a good wife and mother who silently pays for him behind his back...

You say I'm not a good wife and mother? Well, I can pretend. Anyway, he's busy with work and not often at home, so I can just pretend to be good to his parents! When we get married and have children, I won't have to pretend anymore..."

Chen Xiuxiu suppressed her excited heart and felt that Tang Shichu had opened the door to a new world for her. She thought to herself, thank you for the advice you gave me. Now that Lan Jigao's assistant is my target, I won't be polite.

Chen Xiuxiu showed a smug smile on her face, and frivolously glanced at the unknown woman who was still chattering inside the door. She felt that although she was beaten today, she had found the next perfect target, which might even be a meal ticket that would make her money for the rest of her life. So it was worth it to be beaten...

Tang Shichu kept talking, but he was thinking in his heart: Chen Xiuxiu, I have given you all the advice, please don't let me down.

She was not worried at all that Chen Xiuxiu would set her target on Lan Jigao, because with Li Manyan as the heroine, Chen Xiuxiu would not be able to succeed, and in the end, under the preconceived suggestion of Tang Shichu, she would choose Cheng Wu as her target.

Didn't Cheng Wu have a crush on Li Manyan and think it didn't matter who he married? If so, Chen Xiuxiu, who knew how to please his parents, would most likely be able to marry him successfully. What would happen when Chen Xiuxiu, who was naturally romantic and unwilling to be lonely, and Cheng Wu, who was busy with work all day and never at home, became husband and wife? Tang Shichu was really curious, so she waited and saw.

This can be considered as her saving Chen Xiuxiu's husband in her previous life, saving him from being cheated on again, raising a child for someone else, and being thrown into prison.

After making sure that Chen Xiuxiu had heard everything she should hear, Tang Shichu pressed the toilet button. As the sound of water was heard, the sound of shoes being quickly moved away was heard outside the door.

When Tang Shichu came out, she found that Chen Xiuxiu had left. She smiled slightly and began to look forward to a piece of social news from more than ten years later.

"Shichu! Wuuuuu..." As soon as Tang Shichu returned to the dormitory, she was startled by Li Manyan who suddenly rushed up to her and hugged her and cried.

She frowned slightly, calmly took Li Manyan away, and asked her: "What's wrong with you? Today is not the weekend, why are you not at work?"

"I don't want to go to work anymore..." Li Manyan said sadly with red and swollen eyes, "Ji Gao's mother scolded me for being shameless and useless. She said that I needed Ji Gao's support even for work. She said that everyone would be ashamed to know that Ji Gao had a girlfriend like me..."

"Didn't Lan Jigao speak up for you in front of his mother?" Tang Shichu asked indifferently, "As a boyfriend, shouldn't he try his best to mediate the conflict between you and his mother?"

"In fact, Ji Gao has spoken for me, but his mother is prejudiced against me and won't listen to anything I say. She thinks I'm vain and want to climb up the social ladder without any self-awareness... Ji Gao is also very painful to be caught between us." Li Manyan scratched her hair and asked Tang Shichu painfully, "Am I really so useless? Why can't Aunt Lan help us?"

Tang Shichu thought that the other person was proud and arrogant, and just wanted a daughter-in-law who was of equal status. If you want others to help you, you should find a way to deal with it. What's the point of complaining to me, a poor student?

"Man Yan, these difficulties are nothing but the whetstones of your love. As long as your feelings are firm, I believe that mother Lan Jigao will be moved by you and will support you." Tang Shichu comforted perfunctorily.

In the end, Mrs. Lan did compromise and helped them get together, but it was not because she was moved by their love, but because Li Manyan gave birth to the next generation of the Lan family, two grandsons.

"Really?" Li Manyan looked at Tang Shichu with tearful eyes, "Can we really get Aunt Lan's understanding in the end?"

"Of course, lovers will eventually get married." Tang Shichu replied firmly.

Hearing her words, Li Manyan seemed to have courage all of a sudden. She said to Tang Shichu with emotion: "Shichu, thank you. You are the only one who has always supported me. You are indeed my best friend."

Really? But why did you, for your own selfish reasons, rudely push your best friend into the fire pit in your previous life? And when she tried to climb out of the fire pit, you rudely kicked her back to the bottom of the pit?

Tang Shichu sneered in her heart. She thought: Your road of sadomasochism has just begun. What does Mrs. Lan's difficulties mean? There are still your parents and brother chasing you to suck your blood, the future daughter-in-law that Mrs. Lan likes to frame you and plot against you, and the miscarriage and running away... and other hardships are waiting for you.

The reason why Tang Shichu hasn't taken revenge on Li Manyan is because Li Manyan herself was severely abused during her relationship with Lan Jigao. She just needs to watch her misfortune and tragedy quietly. As for the ending of "finally getting married" and "happily ever after", Tang Shichu doesn't believe that her future life will be as beautiful as the original owner remembered.
