Ruan Xue felt a pang of embarrassment upon seeing Cheng Wei and took a few steps back in fear.
Ruan Qiuqiu didn't dare to speak, afraid of being beaten.
Cheng Wei took Qi An's arm with one hand and Qin Yu's arm with the other: "Uncle Qin, Yu, we just signed the contract, let's go celebrate."
Qi An said, "Okay, let's eat at home, and let Qin Yu cook."
Qin Yu: "..."
Cook?
Why don't you just kill me?
The group chatted and laughed as they got into a stretched Rolls-Royce. The driver stepped on the gas, leaving only exhaust fumes behind.
Ruan Xue stood there in a daze, filled with regret as she recalled Cheng Wei's intimate actions with the Qin family father and son.
If I hadn't left Qin Yu back then, I would be the one riding home in a luxury car with them now.
Shao Hanjiang, who was hiding in the shadows, shared the same idea. When he woke up and didn't see Ruan Xue and her son, he guessed that they had come to find Qin Yu.
When he saw Cheng Wei, he instinctively hid.
Looking at Cheng Wei, dressed in a smart business suit, with her elegant demeanor, sharp speech, and confident beauty, I was struck by her presence.
Such a dazzling woman was originally his; she would not only not hold him back, but would also help him take his career to the next level.
Comparing himself to the timid and foolish Ruan Xue, Shao Hanjiang regretted slowly eroding his heart and slapped himself hard.
Ruan Xue stood there for a long time, then turned around dejectedly, only to find Shao Hanjiang right behind her.
Ruan Xue and Ruan Qiuqiu shrank back in fear.
...
As soon as they got in the car, Cheng Wei let go of Qin Yu, patted his head, and said with exasperation:
"You're still too soft-hearted. Learn from me, when you need to go crazy, go crazy. Don't try to be a good gentleman, it's useless except for making you feel frustrated, understand?"
Qin Yu blushed slightly and nodded obediently, "I understand, thank you, Sister Wei."
Since breaking off her engagement, Cheng Wei has completely let loose and stopped putting on airs in the workplace. Anyone who dares to speak ill of her will be slapped with her high heels. She is a master of madness literature.
As a result, Cheng's family business was managed better and better by her, and the Cheng couple had completely relinquished power.
Fu Gui's eyes lit up: "Sister An'an, is there any chance?"
Qi An sighed, "Anyway, there's no hope for now. After Cheng Wei's rebirth, her heart is sealed with cement. She's treating our stupid son like a little brother. Doesn't she look like she's patting a puppy?"
Fu Gui: "...Oh."
Cheng Wei was still holding Qi An's arm, sharing her recent progress with her, what projects she had won, and which idiot she had slapped.
Cheng Wei really liked this unconventional elder.
This business battle with Shaw Brothers involved many underhanded tactics—no, I mean many brilliant ones—all proposed by Uncle Qin. They were simple, crude, but effective.
It's much more satisfying than the old style of back-and-forth banter, where people chatted and laughed on the surface but were actually fighting to the death behind the scenes.
That really proves what he said.
"High-end business battles often only require the simplest methods."
Cheng Wei gave a brief summary.
The essence is to hit his sore spot, expose his scars, stab him in the back, strike while he's down, and, of course, be shameless.
Of course, what she admired most was Uncle Qin's character.
His first wife died early, and despite his excellent circumstances, he never remarried, choosing instead to live with his only son and memories of the past.
Over the years, whenever he's given his mind, he can't find any beautiful woman.
Having seen heartless and ruthless scumbags, I realize how precious someone like him is.
Cheng Wei couldn't imagine how heartbroken Uncle Qin must have been when the Qin family went bankrupt and Qin Yu committed suicide in her previous life.
Those damn scumbags, they've really done so much harm!
"Uncle Qin, I really like you so much. It's been so great working with you. Please be sure to ask me to work with you on any future projects."
Qi An nodded: "Of course. After Uncle is gone, I'll have to trouble you to look after our landlord's silly son."
Cheng Wei, not understanding what was going on, laughed loudly: "Uncle, don't worry, I'll protect Qin Yu from now on and won't let anyone bully him."
Qin Yu, who had been grinning foolishly at her, suddenly stopped laughing.
Thinking of his father's illness, he secretly resolved to earn more money for his father.
Dad said that bank cards can cure all diseases.
Qi An handed over the Qin family entirely to Qin Yu, and retired to live a life of leisure behind the scenes.
Every day, I plant flowers, fish, play chess, and watch scumbags and bitches fall in love with Fugui.
Ruan Xue and Ruan Qiuqiu had nowhere to go, and Ruan Xue was a good-for-nothing who couldn't support the child at all.
She had been brainwashed by Qi An, fantasizing about Shao Hanjiang's comeback, and still went back with him.
Shao Hanjiang went to his mother again to ask for money, but it turned out that his mother had already immigrated abroad and hadn't left him a single penny.
In despair, Shao Hanjiang beat Ruan Xue up again, but the three of them still needed to eat and drink, so he thought about finding a job.
He applied for senior management positions, but he was too famous and nobody wanted him. He also looked down on entry-level positions, so nothing came of it.
Without the protagonist's halo and with his reputation utterly ruined, coupled with Cheng Wei's "help," nothing he does goes smoothly.
As a debtor burdened with defaulting debts, Shao Hanjiang cannot even leave the city.
Unable to accept the status quo and powerless to change it, his temperament changed drastically. He drank heavily all day long, and when drunk, he would take his anger out on Ruan Xue, sometimes even accidentally injuring Ruan Qiuqiu.
Ruan Xue was covered in new and old wounds. After being beaten so many times, she became more resilient and engaged in passionate fights with Shao Hanjiang, often leaving them with bloodied heads.
Ruan Qiuqiu cried from hunger, and Shao Hanjiang also asked her for money. Ruan Xue had no choice but to go out and do odd jobs. Fortunately, the three of them did not starve to death.
Ruan Xue had considered taking shortcuts, but her reputation for killing money trees made her unappealing; which wealthy man would dare to be her mistress?
They just want excitement, not to go bankrupt.
Even a giant like the Shaw Brothers was destroyed by her; how could a small family like theirs possibly withstand such a blow?
The three of them lived like rats in a sewer, barely scraping by like zombies, and after a while they became numb to it all.
In six months, Ruan Xue suffered three miscarriages, but she remained lively and energetic.
Fu Gui exclaimed, "Wow, no wonder she's the female lead! Her uterus is made of iron, amazing!"
Both good looks and a refined demeanor require money to maintain.
Life and each other beat them down, and the handsome man and beautiful woman quickly became repulsive, losing all their image and dignity.
A year later, the two became internet sensations again, this time appearing on a legal program.
After Shao Hanjiang got drunk, the two started fighting passionately again. In the chaos, Ruan Xue killed Shao Hanjiang with a kitchen knife.
Then, Qi An regained Ruan Xue's memories from her previous life.
In their previous life, they lived a life of luxury and happiness, stepping over the lives of Qin Yu, Cheng Wei, and many other supporting characters.
Ruan Xue lay on the ground, her face still relatively young, but her eyes were old and dry, without a trace of light.
She seemed to see the radiant heroine who had been pampered and cared for her whole life in her past life.
Is that really her?
When the police arrived, Ruan Xue's eyes were wide open, and she was no longer breathing.
Ruan Qiuqiu was so frightened that she was sent to the hospital for treatment. After waking up, she became dazed and confused, and was eventually sent to a shelter.
During this period, Qin Yu and Cheng Wei worked together to complete several major projects, propelling the Qin and Cheng families to greater heights.
Qi An had nothing to worry about anymore.
"Fugui, we should go now."
"Okay, I'm starting to miss my two little rascals at home."
Three months later, Qin Ze, chairman of the Qin Group, passed away, and Qin Yu inherited the Qin family business.
The newly appointed Chairman Qin cried so hard at his father's funeral that he couldn't stand up, and Cheng Wei, the president of Cheng's Group, also had red eyes from crying.
She continued to stroke Qin Yu's head like she was petting a puppy: "Don't be afraid, I'll protect you from now on."
Qin Yu cried even louder.
