Not a single member of the Chen family was friendly to Li Ke, a fact that Li Ke only truly realized after the apocalypse.
At that time, Li Ke really had a problem with her thinking. She always thought that she should be independent and self-reliant and not become a burden to her mother. She also always thought that it was already very good that her mother was willing to accept her as a burden.
Her half-sister, Chen Jiaojiao, seemed to be the friendliest person to her in the entire Chen family, which was also Li Ke's opinion at the time.
The Chen family is considered moderately wealthy in City B. They own three supermarkets, including an entire shopping mall, as well as two small gas stations in the east and south of the city. Their total assets are estimated to be worth at least 2 billion yuan.
With these supermarkets and gas stations as a result, Li Ke didn't plan to break ties with the Chen family before the apocalypse. She wanted to take advantage of them a few more times, otherwise she would feel bad for all the grievances she had suffered.
Moreover, a large part of the Chen family's current wealth comes from their married daughter, Chen Ziyue, the eldest sister of Chen Niansheng.
This woman is a true powerhouse. She seized business opportunities while in college, amassed a fortune, and has excellent investment acumen. After graduation, she has laid a solid foundation for her business prospects.
Chen Ziyue graduated with a degree in finance. She has a keen eye for business and an exceptional ability to make money. She also married a wealthy man, and through their powerful partnership, her and her husband's Jinyue Group finally entered the top circle of wealthy people in City B.
Chen Niansheng dropped out of school early and entered the workforce because he didn't do well in his studies. He helped his academically gifted older sister with her university life and always showed her support. Therefore, Chen Ziyue values and cherishes this younger brother very much.
Chen Niansheng's current assets are inseparable from the support of his eldest sister.
The upper-class wealthy have even more opportunities to exploit, so Li Ke, being a member of the proletariat, can only rely on them for support.
After finishing her work in the garden and tidying up her tools, Li Ke entered the back door of the villa and saw Chen Zhizhi walking through the living room, also heading up the stairs. Upon seeing Li Ke, she paused and stopped at the top of the stairs.
"Why didn't you go to school? Are you ashamed to face anyone and hiding at home?" Chen Zhizhi looked at Li Ke with a mocking expression.
For a time, Li Ke thought that the Chen family disliked her because she was an outsider who was just freeloading. But even though she worked hard and was careful in her dealings with others, she was still bullied and looked down upon by them, both openly and secretly. Li Ke couldn't help but feel hopeless.
Later she learned that the Chen family all knew she was Li Zhenzhen's illegitimate daughter. Only when she first arrived did she think the Chen family didn't know, and she carefully made plans for her mother. Little did she know that Li Zhenzhen had cleverly explained her past before marrying Chen Niansheng.
She would warn Li Ke not to reveal their mother-daughter relationship, simply because she didn't want to affect her public image.
As for the Chen family, they knew that Li Zhenzhen had a daughter before she married into the family, so they didn't really care whether others knew about this relationship or not.
Chen Xian and Chen Zhizhi are the children of Chen Niansheng's ex-wife. They only have a superficial relationship with Li Zhenzhen, maintaining harmony in public but not interfering with each other at home.
The brother and sister made no attempt to hide their dislike for their stepmother, Li Zhenzhen, and Li Zhenzhen ignored and avoided them. As a result, their son, Li Ke, was inevitably bullied.
Li Ke ignored Chen Zhizhi and went straight upstairs. She knew that Li Zhenzhen would probably scold her when she came back later. Right now, she just wanted to go back to her room and continue with her plan.
"Stop right there! Who gave you permission to ignore me?" Chen Zhizhi shouted angrily as she saw Li Ke walk right past her. This brat dared to ignore her.
Li Ke quickened her pace and walked upstairs. Chen Zhizhi, wearing a long dress and slippers, was naturally not as fast as her. However, seeing Li Ke's disregard for her, Chen Zhizhi couldn't stand it.
The daughter of a nouveau riche family also has a very bad temper.
Finally, on the second floor, Chen Zhizhi caught up with Li Ke and threw the bag she was holding at him.
Upon hearing the sound, Li Ke slightly turned her body and easily dodged it.
"You little brat, you actually dare to dodge!" Chen Zhizhi saw her bag fall to the ground and her phone fly out. She waved her hand and was about to slap Li Ke.
When Li Ke saw the photo of the three of them on Chen Zhizhi's phone screen, he reached out and stopped Chen Zhizhi's hand: "I know what Zuo Hui has been busy with lately, and I also know where he is. Are you interested in knowing?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Zhizhi's expression immediately changed. Her eyes flickered for a moment before she spoke with a dark face, "Who do you think you are? How do you know Zuo Hui?"
"The young master of Revolver, a frequent subject of gossip. I saw a photo of you with him on your phone, and I thought you were interested in him. Since you don't want to know, then I won't say anything." Li Ke released Chen Zhizhi's hand and said with a deep look in his eyes.
On Chen Zhizhi's phone, Zuo Hui was sitting on the far side, and in the middle was a rich young lady whom Chen Zhizhi had recently met. Chen Zhizhi's initiative to get to know this young lady was merely a stepping stone to getting to know Zuo Hui.
Because Zuo Hui is currently dating this young lady, but Zuo Hui has a reputation for being a womanizer and often changes girlfriends. With his superior family background and handsome appearance, even though people know he is a womanizer, there are still many who want to be his true love.
Chen Zhizhi hasn't heard from Zuo Hui at all lately, and Liu Qianqian hasn't been replying to her messages either. Rumors are circulating in the circle that the two are breaking up, and that Liu Qianqian is hiding away and licking her wounds alone.
Unfortunately, Chen Zhizhi and Liu Qianqian had only known each other for a short time, and their relationship was not yet close enough for Chen Zhizhi to comfort Liu Qianqian's heartbreak, so Chen Zhizhi did not get any more information.
