What was her purpose? Was it merely to marry Zhou Jian'an? Probably more than that.
Perhaps it was for money, fame, status, or everything she wanted that Dai Qiongying's greed made her dissatisfied with marrying an ordinary man.
But not only was she remarried, she also had a child. Men are very realistic; without a good family background, how could she possibly marry a satisfactory man?
She also happened to be surnamed Dai, and was about the same age as Dai Qiongying. Her mother worked there, so she often had the opportunity to visit Sun Xiulan in the compound, making the lie seem real.
Chu Yu was shocked and almost laughed when Dai Qinxue dared to tell such a lie.
So Zhou Jian'an abandoned his wife and daughter all this time just for this swindler? Logically, Chu Yu should expose her to Zhou Jian'an and laugh at him for being foolish enough to marry such trash. But why should Chu Yu do that?
Zhou Jian'an is trash. Trash and trash are a perfect match. Isn't she just a female swindler? Zhou Jian'an deserves what she got. Chu Yu will not only not expose her, but will also help Dai Qinxue cover it up.
How far have you gone with this? You haven't swindled enough, you haven't been ruthless enough. You have to swindle Zhou Jian'an out of everything and leave him with no way out.
However, she had to mention it to Dai Donglin about the Dai family to prevent Sun Xiulan and Dai Qiongying from using the Dai family's name to commit fraud.
Sun Xiulan hung her head, barely able to walk, and managed to bring out and arrange all the dishes before hiding in the kitchen. She pressed her ear against the door and peeked at the bed through the window crack, wondering if Chu Yu would tattle on her.
She was in a terrible panic, her hands trembling. Did Zhou Yun look down on Chu Yu, that little hussy? He said he'd rather die than let that woman into the house! Sun Xiulan said a lot of bad things about Chu Yu, saying that Chu Yu had seduced male classmates in high school, making Chu Yu sound very unpleasant.
Zhou Yun didn't say anything, but she always had a bad impression of Chu Yu. Sun Xiulan thought that Chu Yu would not be able to enter the Dai family.
This time, Zhou Yun asked her to buy groceries, only saying that the Dai family was coming and that she should prepare more food. Sun Xiulan didn't think too much about it until she heard Chu Yu enter the door, at which point she realized something serious had happened.
Chu Yu had seen her before, even if it was just a fleeting glimpse, but judging from Chu Yu's expression just now, she must have recognized her.
Sun Xiulan originally planned to give Xu Yiyi to Dai Donglin and make the first move, but Dai Donglin did not come home for two months and she could not find an opportunity.
Sun Xiulan was extremely anxious.
Last time, I left an earring and a hair on Zhou Yun's bed, but Zhou Yun didn't fall for it. Later, I rubbed some saliva oil on Dai Xueyi's shirt, and the shirt clearly smelled fragrant, but Zhou Yun didn't react.
Chu Yu ate with great relish. Just before the meal was about to begin, Zuo Ran returned from someone else's house. He washed his hands, jumped onto a chair, sat to Chu Yu's right, and started shouting:
"Xiao Zhou, are you happy to see your old classmate?"
Chu Yu rolled her eyes at him, but Zuo Ran didn't mind at all. On the contrary, he liked to fawn over her, picking crabs and duck meat for her one moment and serving her the next, acting as if Chu Yu was his wife. Even Dai Qiongying glared at him with disdain, as if she thought her son was hopeless.
Dai Donglin was displeased and reached out to press his hand on his forehead, pushing him away.
"Why sit so close together when we're having a meal? Sit further away."
Zuo Ran didn't mind at all. He looked left and right. The table was only the size of a palm, and two families were sitting there. Where else could he sit?
"Brother, shall I sit on your head?"
Dai Donglin almost kicked him in the butt.
After the two brothers bickered for a while, the dinner table became lively. Secretary Zuo and Secretary Dai talked about the development of Deyang, the spirit of the Beijing municipal documents, and the issues of the port city.
What they could openly discuss was naturally not a secret; at least it was information that Chu Yu knew. But after listening carefully for a few minutes, she realized that her usual views were too limited.
She lived two lives and thought she understood everything, but in reality, she understood nothing.
It's just jumping from one fish tank into another.
These two have a God's-eye view. They can analyze the spirit conveyed in the central government's documents and the future direction of economic development, and their analysis is more accurate and comprehensive than Chu Yu's.
Chu Yu felt quite ashamed; it seemed she still had a lot to learn.
When Secretary Zuo was talking about Deyang's economy, he suddenly mentioned Chu Yu's name.
"Chu Yu and her uncle acquired a plot of land in Deyang for a cotton ginning factory, saying they would invest in it in three phases, with the first phase costing one million and the second and third phases totaling ten million. Once this land is developed, it will establish Deyang's city center and have a certain impact on Deyang's future."
Chu Yu was somewhat flattered.
Dai Xueyi glanced at Chu Yu, but instead of mentioning business, he asked about her studies.
Chu Yu answered truthfully: "The computer science department doesn't have any computers to use, it's all just theoretical. But the students are all very hardworking, and they have to overcome difficulties to study. I'm not as hardworking as others, but my studies are still pretty good, and I should be able to get a scholarship this time."
She speaks slowly and deliberately, with a gentle voice and an air of sophistication that sets her apart from her peers.
Zhou Yun arranged many blind dates for Dai Donglin, and Dai Xueyi never expressed any opinion. However, none of the girls he met were as good as Chu Yu, although her family background was indeed a bit lacking.
If Dai Donglin doesn't go to the army and doesn't find a family that can help him by marrying into the Dai family, the lineage will be cut off in this generation.
Even if Dai Xueyi can hold on, he can only hold on for another twenty years at most. Raising the next generation well within twenty years is not an easy task. In addition, since Zuo Ran will not enter officialdom, Dai Xueyi is really worried that the Dai family will run out of successors and the path will end with this generation.
That's what he's worried about; he has no problem with Chu Yu herself.
For families like theirs, it doesn't matter how much money they make; what matters is their connections and the network of relationships behind them.
"Chu Yu, eat more crabs," Dai Qiongying said.
"Thank you, Auntie."
