On the other side.
During this period, Jiang Yiran spent all her time, except when she was sleeping, taking care of Bai Yuzhu.
Bai Yuzhu already felt guilty towards her, and now seeing how well-behaved she was, she felt even more sorry for her.
Several times he couldn't help but want to directly acknowledge this daughter as his own, but he swallowed the words back.
Now is not the time.
If the Jiang family finds out now that they raised her daughter, they'll definitely try to take advantage of their kindness.
"Godmother, Godfather has been running around with my father and older brother these past few days. Is it because of the cement factory?" Jiang Yiran asked as she peeled an orange and gave it to Bai Yuzhu segment by segment.
Speaking of this issue, Bai Yuzhu couldn't help but sigh with worry, "Yes, Huo Beixiao's side has not been willing to budge, and our family wants to develop, so it would be best to buy that cement factory. This matter is not easy to handle."
Jiang Yiran asked with an innocent look of confusion, "Godmother, I don't understand, why does Godfather insist on buying Huo Beixiao's cement factory instead of starting his own?"
Bai Yuzhu patiently replied to Jiang Yiran, "It's normal that you don't understand because you've never dealt with this kind of big business before."
Currently, our country cannot produce the equipment used to manufacture cement in cement plants; all such equipment needs to be imported from abroad.
Your godfather and I are going to build our own cement plant. Not only are the channels for importing that equipment difficult to secure, but even if we managed to get it, the price would be many times higher than buying the plant directly.
"I see." Jiang Yiran nodded knowingly with an obedient expression.
At the same time, I felt an indescribable sense of regret.
In her past life, she had no idea that Huo Beixiao had bought the cement factory; it's very likely that Huo Beixiao never bought the cement factory in her past life.
The reason Huo Beixiao bought the cement factory in this lifetime must be because Jiang Qiaoqiao gave him the information.
If she had been able to get to know those important figures in her past life and have access to this information, why would she have gone to such lengths to arrange a marriage with Jiang Qiaoqiao and marry Qin Haiyang in exchange for the status of the richest man's wife?
It wasn't that she thought Qin Haiyang was bad, it was mainly because of the Qin family...
Niu Chunhua and Qin Tieniu are still unaware that Jiang Chengzhi is not only alive, but has also introduced them to a very important person.
If they find out, there's bound to be more trouble.
Although Jiang Yiran has lived a whole life, in her previous life she was spoiled and willful by the Jiang family, and even if she has made some progress in this life, she will not be much more composed.
With the Qin family on her mind, her thoughts inevitably showed on her face.
Seeing her expression, Bai Yuzhu asked, "Ranran, what's wrong? Is something bothering you?"
Jiang Yiran forced a smile, "Thank you for your concern, godmother. I don't have anything bothering me, I was just thinking about my in-laws..."
Jiang Yiran stopped speaking halfway through her sentence.
But Bai Yuzhu was currently taking a liking to her, so she naturally noticed something from her expression. She patted her hand and said, "I've heard about Haiyang's family situation. If you've suffered any grievances, just tell your godmother directly. I'll do everything I can to help you."
Since Bai Yuzhu had already said all that, Jiang Yiran naturally had red eyes and wiped away her tears as she told her all the grievances she had suffered in the Qin family.
After listening, Bai Yuzhu frowned. "I thought Haiyang's family was just poor because of their rural conditions. I didn't expect his mother and brother and sister-in-law to be so outrageous!"
Ranran, let me tell you, the key to relationships between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law lies in the man's attitude. I'll help you talk to Haiyang, but you also need to keep your man on your side. Only then will his family not dare to bully you!
Upon hearing Bai Yuzhu's words, Jiang Yiran instantly recalled her past life.
In his past life, Qin Haiyang was incredibly doting on Jiang Qiaoqiao, and that old woman Niu Chunhua praised Jiang Qiaoqiao to everyone she met. Chen Ping was also subservient to Jiang Qiaoqiao.
Thinking about it this way, she couldn't help but feel a bit resentful towards Qin Haiyang.
But the resentment was only fleeting; she quickly came to her senses.
The reason why that old woman Niu Chunhua and the couple Qin Tieniu and Chen Ping dare to treat her this way is because Qin Haiyang has not yet become rich and has not yet become the richest man, and she has not yet become the richest man's wife.
Once she becomes the wife of the richest man, won't they all have to come and fawn over her?
After figuring this out, Jiang Yiran remembered her real business.
She wiped away the tears from her eyes and gave a sweet smile, saying, "Godmother, let's not talk about these things anymore. Are you and Godfather going back to Beicheng only after you've secured the cement factory?"
Bai Yuzhu didn't hesitate to tell Jiang Yiran about this, saying, "It would be best if we could acquire it. If that's not possible, we'll have to think of other ways, or look all over the country to see if we can buy other cement plants."
After Bai Yuzhu finished speaking, she looked at Jiang Yiran with expectant eyes, "Ranran, your godmother wants to ask you, after your godfather and godmother have finished dealing with things here, are you willing to..."
"Mom, you're talking to Ranran here! Dad asked me to invite you to accompany him to a government reception." Jiang Rou walked in and said before Bai Yuzhu could finish speaking.
Jiang Rou's gaze swept over Jiang Qiaoqiao, and finally turned to Bai Yuzhu with a smile and gentleness.
Bai Yuzhu nodded, "Okay, I'll go right away."
Then, she patted Jiang Yiran's hand and said, "Ranran, just stay here with your godmother. I'm going to a meeting with your godfather, and we'll have a good talk when we get back."
After saying that, she got up and went to the inner room to change her clothes.
Jiang Yiran was already excited when Bai Yuzhu asked her if she was willing, and she was ready to say yes.
Who knew Jiang Rou would come in...
She habitually glared at Jiang Rou.
But he met Jiang Rou's provocative gaze.
Jiang Yiran instantly came to her senses. She was only Jiang Rou's goddaughter, while Jiang Rou was her biological daughter. She couldn't afford to have a conflict with Jiang Rou right now.
Not only now, but even if she returns to the Jiang family in the future, Jiang Rou will still be her older sister.
Before she can establish herself firmly in the Jiang family, she cannot have a direct conflict with Jiang Rou, lest she incur the dislike of the Jiang family.
But once she's established herself...
Jiang Yiran instantly concealed the hostility and hatred in her eyes, blinked her eyes, and said innocently to Jiang Rou, "Sister, why are you looking at Ranran like that? Did Ranran do something wrong and make you angry?"
Hearing her innocent and naive remarks, Jiang Rou's eyes showed even more mockery.
She suddenly took two steps forward, closing in on Jiang Yiran.
Under Jiang Yiran's shocked and frightened gaze, she suddenly leaned close to Jiang Yiran's ear and whispered, "Jiang Yiran, don't try to play these little tricks on me. You can't outsmart me."
"Now you don't need to act anymore. The soundproofing in our house is different from your shabby house. Once the door is closed, my mom can't hear a thing you're making inside."
