Chapter 717: Eager to Find a Job
Cao Chuanxiang saw the indifference in Liu Lan's eyes. This girl seemed to be gentle and refined on the surface. She guessed that she should be patient to listen to what she said. "I have not received much education and do not understand those great principles, but I know that people should have conscience and bottom line. Chunhua's death is indeed inseparable from your father, but Chunhua himself is also responsible. After all, he went against the flow... I can't distinguish right from wrong and ask for the reason. Your family has paid the price for this. This price was recognized by us at the beginning. It is also clearly written in black and white in the agreement. Now that the money is used up, I come back to you for money. What is the difference between begging for food from a beggar and extorting from a robber?"
Liu Lan lowered her eyes and looked at Cao Chuanxiang's chapped hands. "You lost your husband, the pillar of your family, in a car accident. You didn't benefit from the 3.1 million yuan, which means you have nothing."
Her words hit Cao Chuanxiang's sore spot. Cao Chuanxiang lowered his head again and stammered, "Yes, I have nothing, except three children, nothing..."
Zhang Pei knocked on Liu Man's office door. "Man Man, who are you meeting?"
Liu Lan immediately got up and went to open the door.
Zhang Pei came in and was stunned for a moment when she saw Cao Chuanxiang. "Are you the wife of Wang Chunhua?"
Cao Chuanxiang put the water cup on the table and stood up. "Hello..." Zhang Pei's appearance and aura changed so much that she almost didn't recognize her. Although she had only met Zhang Pei once, she felt that Zhang Pei was as timid and afraid as she was, hiding behind her lawyer. But now Zhang Pei is capable and calm, and every move she makes carries a strong aura. She is completely different from her then.
Zhang Pei nodded, ignoring Cao Chuanxiang, and only asked Liu Lan, "What is she doing here?"
Liu Lan told Zhang Pei the details of their conversation.
...
...
After hearing this, Zhang Pei, like Liu Lan, was not moved. She said to Cao Chuanxiang, "Liu Chengyu and I divorced a long time ago. I left the house with nothing and didn't take a penny from him. He was the one who hit and killed your husband. If you and the Wang family need anything, go to him. He is the culprit of the evil. Even if you send him back to prison, I have no objection."
"As for the 3.1 million, it was all my daughter and I who worked so hard to get together," Zhang Pei emphasized the word "work so hard", "We have a clear conscience towards your family! I want to see what rumors they are going to spread online. Do they still want to borrow money from us? They still want 1 million?" Zhang Pei sneered, "Let them dream big. They might as well rob a bank. They can't even get through our door. If they dare to come, I will call the police immediately. Extortion is punishable by law."
Zhang Pei spoke with confidence and severity. She was not only fearless of the Wang family, but also had a hint of contempt. This was the aura of a leader. She would not waste energy on such trivial matters.
Cao Chuanxiang was shocked that Zhang Pei and Liu Chengyu were divorced! She was even more intimidated by Zhang Pei's aura.
Indeed, in this way, the Wang family had even less reason to ask them for money. Cao Chuanxiang felt very complicated. Others, who were orphans and widows, could create such a prosperous business, but she, who was also an orphan and a widow, could not even find a decent job. She had to endure the anger of her mother-in-law every now and then and beg for mercy from her mother-in-law.
Zhang Pei did not have as much patience as Liu Lan. When she looked at Cao Chuanxiang, she thought of the bad things caused by her ex-husband and the hard days when she and her daughter depended on each other. She was in a bad mood and planned to send her away.
Finally, Cao Chuanxiang couldn't stand it anymore and told them her real purpose - she wanted to find a job here. Just after the festival, Cao Chuanxiang and her two daughters were driven back to the rented house in the capital by Old Lady Wang. Old Lady Wang was short of money and felt annoyed to support an extra idle person.
