She is not Li Wan. Li Shi made it very clear that without Li Wan's dowry, the Chen family's business would have closed down long ago.
Under such circumstances, it's up to Li Wan to let Chen Zikang and the Chen family control her.
Her consistent principle is: if you treat me with three points of respect, I will repay you with seven points; if you insult me even a little, I will repay you a hundredfold!
The Chen family had no good intentions towards her, and she wouldn't be polite to them either.
Especially after she confirmed that Chen Zikang was aware of everything Manager Chen had done, she had no intention of letting Chen Zikang off the hook.
She spared Chen Zikang's life because death, as a punishment, was too lenient on a wicked person.
As for the Chen family, they thought she was an easy target, someone they could mess with at will, which only shows their bad luck.
Xu Keke coldly watched the seventh grandmother of the third branch of the family, her red lips opening and closing as she complained to Old Master Chen with great emotion.
“You have to stand up for me. Since I came to the Chen family, no one has ever spoken to me like that. As an elder, I just said her clothes weren't nice, and she just acted so disrespectfully.”
"Seventh sister-in-law, please forgive me. Minghui just arrived, and as you know, she hasn't been with us much. So it's understandable that she might speak a bit bluntly."
Chen Zikang stepped forward like a loving father and apologized to Xu Keke on her behalf.
A young man with slicked-back hair and glasses squeezed in from outside. He put his arm around Grandma Qi's shoulder and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
Xu Keke laughed. This person was clearly standing outside just now, and now he's pretending to come in and ask again. Doesn't he get tired of it?
Grandma Qi actually told the story again, perhaps because she had someone backing her up this time. After saying all that, she even teared up. She was incredibly aggrieved.
"Brother, that's not how things are said." After listening to what Grandma Qi said, he pushed up his glasses.
"Even though this child is new here and no one has taught him manners since he was little, this is still insubordination. It's not a matter of rules, it's that his nature is too bad."
I was planning to talk to you privately today about how you could be so sure this child is yours and your sister-in-law's. Why not just have any other child come along, claim it's yours, and you'd accept them both?
The seventh young master spoke with righteous indignation, and his words were echoed by those around him.
The fact that Old Master Chen didn't speak meant that he also agreed with this viewpoint.
Xu Keke wasn't in a hurry; she didn't need to get involved in this kind of thing right now. Judging from Chen Zikang's change in attitude towards her, she guessed he would definitely find a way to smooth things over for her.
She actually cared more about Li Wan's opinion.
She turned her head and met Li Wan's gaze. Fortunately, the expression in Li Wan's eyes was not one of inquiry, but rather of anxiety and helplessness.
