Chapter 231 The enemy is in the open while we are in the dark; the advantage lies with us!
Shan Xianxian never imagined that Zhu Dehai was such a stupid idiot.
Seeing how good Cen Yan's grades were, he actually took the initiative to help her. I really don't know whether to say that he took her words too seriously or that he took himself too seriously, thinking that someone who barely passed could shake a tree like an ant.
Shan Xian was furious, but now that she was living under someone else's roof, she had to assess the situation. So she sat down next to the woman with the unpleasant expression, took the initiative to speak, and casually put a bracelet on the woman's wrist.
"Aunt, I'm sorry. I didn't expect that my complaint would cause Uncle Dehai to rush up like that without thinking. Of course, I'm not saying that Uncle Dehai is brainless."
"What I mean is, I'm very grateful that Uncle Dehai is concerned about helping me get revenge. It's my fault for dragging Uncle Dehai into this. Please comfort him for me. It's not appropriate for me to step in right now."
Shan Xianxian was very good at dealing with people; she knew that no amount of emotional expression could compare to the weight of a gold bracelet.
Moreover, her father, Shan Jianshe, was now a disgraced intellectual who had been sent down to the countryside. Although she had managed to escape the purge by taking advantage of loopholes, she was not likable or at a disadvantage in front of her uncle Shan Jianhua and aunt Zhu Shuixian, whom she rarely met.
Her only advantage is that she's rich!
Before her parents planned to empty the Cen family's house and smuggle themselves into Hong Kong, they adhered to the principle of not putting all their eggs in one basket, opening two accounts in her and her brother Shan Hao's names and depositing a sum of money into each.
Now, the money under her name and her brother's name is under her control, but compared to the family's vanished assets, it's just a drop in the ocean!
She had a premonition that the money hadn't disappeared into thin air; it must be in Cen Yan's hands.
Zhu Shuixian touched the gold bracelet on her wrist. "No matter how far apart we are, we are always connected by affection. Without power and money, nothing will work."
Although Shan Xianxian is Shan Jianhua's blood-related niece, her father is nominally a son-in-law who married into the family. Once a son marries into the family, he is no longer related to his father's family.
If it weren't for the fact that Shan Xianxian could give her a lot of benefits, she wouldn't allow Shan Xianxian to eat and drink for free at home and make her son sleep in the living room.
"Xianxian, your aunt didn't mean to give you a hard time. It's just that our Zhu family only has this one heir, and we're counting on him to bring honor to our ancestors. Now that he's been suspended from taking the exam for five years, how old will he be by the time he becomes a doctor?"
Zhu Shuixian touched the fifty-gram gold bracelet on her wrist, but her expression was completely different from before.
“Your aunt completely trusts you. You would never have encouraged Dehai to frame someone. That rascal misunderstood. But if it weren't for her love for you, her cousin, Dehai wouldn't have…”
“Aunt, I understand what you mean. Let’s talk things out as a family. How about this: Uncle Dehai can take the exam again next year if he can’t pass this year. Actually, everyone is quite careless these days. It’s just a matter of spending more money to smooth things over. I don’t believe that Old Master Sheng, who is halfway to the grave, can really control everything.” Shan Xianxian said with a smile.
Zhu Shuixian clapped her hands and said, "Xianxian, you truly are a fine child raised by Shanghai capitalists. With your demeanor, those small families in the countryside can't even catch up with your sycophancy! Well then, it's settled. In the future, if your Uncle Dehai needs money for something, you can't make excuses to your aunt."
"Auntie, you're overthinking it. How could I be stingy with these things when it's my own brother-in-law doing this?"
For Shan Xianxian, things that can be solved with money are really no problem.
Fortunately, Cen Yan was unaware that she was the one behind Zhu Dehai's scheme. Until she figured out how Cen Yan had emptied the family's assets, she planned to remain hidden in the shadows.
The enemy is in the open, we are in the shadows, the advantage lies with me!
