Waking Up Again, Became a Post-50s

Over fifty years old, without children, she cared for her aging parents. After seeing them to their end, and with a bit of savings in hand, a mysterious space suddenly appeared.

What was ther...

Chapter 457 Regret? How could that be!

They almost bankrupted Shen Laosan's wife. Given that, how could the Shen family possibly let her into the family?

It should be understood that even if the vast fortune that Shen Laosan's wife earned on her own could not be divided among the other two families, it would still belong to the children of the third wife.

Regarding this matter, the Shen family can forgive the Jing family.

Even if she really is Zhao Mingcheng's girlfriend, so what?

In other words, even if she were Zhao Mingcheng's wife, the Shen family wouldn't welcome her into their home. They wouldn't make an exception simply because of Zhao Mingcheng or even Doctor Shen's influence.

"You know what I mean, you're right, but we can't just say that. It was the Jing family's doing, and that young girl was involved."

"Well, we really don't know whether she was involved or not."

But even if she hadn't participated, her outfit alone wasn't something everyone could afford.

"To be honest, if you hadn't mentioned it, I really wouldn't have noticed. You're quite observant."

"That's right! And another thing, don't forget, everyone living in this area is a prominent and influential family."

In the past, no matter who came to our house, we would call the host a day in advance to let them know if it was convenient for us!

If it's convenient, you can come over; if it's not, you can come another day.

If someone comes without prior notice and is turned away, that's perfectly reasonable.

"What you're saying makes sense. Everyone knows that in Beijing, especially in our old neighborhood, which family doesn't pay attention to routines?"

Following this pattern, the Shen family is even more outstanding in this area.

"Right! That's why I said it. You can tell at a glance that this girl came here today without even saying hello, she just ran straight over?"

"I think so too, it's pretty much true."

"What you all say is right, but I'm still desperate. Shouldn't I be?"

Isn't she Zhao Mingcheng's girlfriend? Why didn't she even give him a heads-up before coming to his uncle's house?

Could it be that this girl acted on a whim?

"I think it was just a spur-of-the-moment decision. Didn't you see she came empty-handed?"

If there's a plan, then it would be reasonable to bring something along.

It's not that we care about the things over there, but bringing a small gift when visiting is the proper custom.

Moreover, I think it's definitely not as simple as she claimed, that she came to apologize to Shen Laosan's wife.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Well, I'm afraid it's possible that she accidentally saw on the news this morning that the Jing family was in trouble, and in a panic, she ran to the Shen family to ask for their help. Otherwise, why would she have ended up here?"

"You know what, if you think about it carefully, what you said makes perfect sense."

You think about it, she's from Shanghai, living in Beijing. The only capable people she could know, besides Zhao Mingcheng, would be the Zhao family and the Shen family, who are related to Zhao Mingcheng.

However, no matter how capable the Zhao family is, they can't reach the same level as the Shen family.

Moreover, as one of the comrades just mentioned, not long ago, the Jing family in Haishi had a very serious business dispute with Shen Laosan's wife.

Although we don't understand the ways of the business world, we do know that some people will stop at nothing for the sake of so-called profit.

Furthermore, if the things the news reports about the Jing family are true, then the Jing family isn't all that great.

Even if this girl now lives in Beijing, it doesn't guarantee she's innocent.

"That's right, it's probably something between the Jing family and Shen Laosan's wife in the business world."

It must have been the Jing family who did something behind the scenes first. Otherwise, why would Shen Laosan's wife have been refusing to let her into the house?

If not, then the previous claim that Zhao Mingcheng made Shen Laosan's wife sick with anger doesn't make sense.

“That’s right, your analysis makes perfect sense. I just wonder if this girl regrets coming here so impulsively to ask the Shen family for help!”

"Regret? I think you're joking. She's been standing at the Shen family's door for several hours now."

If they regretted it, they would have slunk away long ago.

But look at her, does she seem to regret it?

Perhaps, in her heart, she felt that by standing in front of the Shen family's house and letting all the streets see her like this, she could threaten Shen Laosan's wife.

"If we can get Shen Laosan's wife to agree, we might be able to enter the Shen family and ask them for help."

"You know what, this girl looks so young, how come she has so many tricks up her sleeve?"

"Look at what you're saying. If she weren't so cunning, she probably would have rushed home the moment she found out about her family's troubles."

Instead of coming here to ask the Shen family for help, even though it sounds like she's just trying to cause trouble for them, judging from her attitude...

Everyone knows the current situation of the Jing family in Haishi. If they get involved, they might end up getting themselves into trouble too.

"That's true, then why did she do it?"

"Doing this is just... she doesn't know her own limitations. If she did, she wouldn't dare to do this."

If she had known, she should have gone to find Zhao Mingcheng immediately, instead of coming to the Shen family's house.

"Oh, right! Is there any more?"

"Yes, of course we do! Take the Shen family for example, we haven't done anything to wrong them!"

It's all because of their own insatiable greed; otherwise, they wouldn't be in this predicament today.

Ultimately, it's all their own fault; they can't blame anyone else.

"That's true, but I don't know if they actually think that way."

By the way, it seems that from now on, we can't just look at age; we also need to consider character.

"That's right, it really depends on character."

Sitting there, listening to the neighbors talking outside the wall, I thought to myself, thankfully, she was the only member of the Jing family outside.

If there were another member of the Jing family outside, this person would probably want to crawl into a hole in the ground.

How shameless of them to make such a scene at their own doorstep! Don't they realize how embarrassing they are?

However, at this point, the Jing family no longer cared about losing face.

If the Jing family wants to get through this crisis, they'll have to swallow their pride and beg others for help.

But if you're asking someone else for help, then ask someone else. What kind of behavior is it to ask yourself for help?

Do they really think that all these past few months of commotion have been nothing but children playing house? How could that be?

However, on the other hand, what these old neighbors said is not wrong. If she were only here for Zhao Mingcheng, she shouldn't have chosen to come today.
