Qin Lu paused for a moment, then asked in return.
"What is Auntie suspecting?"
“I know you’re still somewhat resentful about Weiwei,” Qin Man said solemnly while waiting at a red light. “But her heart isn’t in it anymore. She and Fu Hanzheng already have a child. You have no chance anymore. It’s time to let go.”
She was also saddened by the loss of her nephew's wife.
However, she had no intention of leaving Fu Hanzheng, and Fu Hanzheng never intended to break up with her.
So, no matter how unwilling they were, they had no chance.
I didn't know they were faking their divorce before, and I thought there was still a chance to win them over.
It was only in the end that I learned Xiaolu never had a chance.
Fu Hanzheng's words today couldn't have been without reason.
She knew that the other group wouldn't dare to oppose Fu Hanzheng.
However, she was afraid that Xiaolu wouldn't be able to let go of her heartbreak and would want to go against Fu Hanzheng.
Fu Hanzheng used to have only one Achilles' heel, which was the Gu family, his mortal enemy. Now, he has added Weiwei to his list.
If Xiaolu has any dealings with the Gu family, it would undoubtedly be touching two of Fu Hanzheng's sore spots.
"Aunt, I've let it go," Qin Lu said calmly.
The light turned green, and Qin Man drove across the intersection, speaking earnestly.
"Now that you've let it go, you can call her 'Auntie' whenever you see her in the future. A real man can take things up and put them down."
If you have the chance, seize it; if you don't, don't dwell on it.
"Understood, Auntie." Qin Lu readily complied.
"Regarding the Gu family, I hope this is the last time the Fu family mentions it in front of us," Qin Man gently warned.
Although she often teases Fu Hanzheng, Fu Shiqin, and Fu Shiyi when they meet, the two families have been friends for generations.
Business cooperation is also closely related and should absolutely not be adversarial.
"The Gu family has contacted more than just us, but the Qin family is more powerful, so they contacted me again." Qin Lu said calmly, having prepared his explanation. "I know what's important and I won't do anything reckless."
"You know that's good. If you really anger him, I can't protect you either," Qin Man warned.
She had long been aware of Fu Hanzheng's ruthlessness towards his enemies.
She didn't want those methods to be used against the Qin family one day.
Qin Lu was silent for a while, then asked seemingly casually.
"Aunt, with the Qin family's strength, they don't necessarily have to be subordinate to the Fu family. Haven't Grandpa and Dad ever thought about taking their place?"
Qin Man glanced at him with a deep look in her eyes. "That's what you think. The difference between the Qin family and the Fu family is something you can't see."
"Why?" Qin Lu didn't understand.
Looking across the entire country, no other family can surpass the Qin family, but the Qin family is always just a little bit inferior to the Fu family.
Qin Man sighed and patiently explained while driving.
"You see that no family surpasses the Qin family, so you think that the Qin family and the Fu family are evenly matched and that you can replace them if you want to. Such thinking is too naive."
"The Qin family and the Fu family are currently in a win-win situation, but if this situation is broken, the Qin family will suffer a severe blow."
...
Xiao Lu is young and impetuous, and doesn't understand many things, which is why he has such questions.
The Qin family cannot replace the Fu family, and no other family in China can do so. She and every elder in her family are clear about this.
Therefore, they have maintained peaceful and friendly relations with the Fu family all these years.
