Sometimes choice really is more important than hard work. From the moment Xie Chengrun became Xiao Zhen's legal wife, she was surrounded by all the halos that a woman deserves.
Xie Chengrun actually didn't expect that such a proud man like Xiao Zhen would go back to her ex, but the proud Miss Xie could only eat 1/4 of Xiao Zhen's pie.
Xie Chengrun thought that giving birth to twins, a boy and a girl, for Xiao Zhen would consolidate her position, but the cruel reality was that she was the weakest.
Was Xiao Zhen not good to Xie Chengrun? She was quite good. Before Xie Chengrun started to get things from her mother's family, she had been in charge of the entire Nongfu Group and Huakang Medical Group.
Things have changed since that time. Ever since Big Golden Retriever became the commander-in-chief, this woman has always had delusions of persecution, and this sense of urgency that she created out of nothing has become more and more intense.
Then the Nur-Sultan Canal was fully completed, and all the evildoers in Siam wanted to rush in to grab a piece of the pie. Unfortunately, these people had poor teeth and could not steal anything. The visiting fleets from the mainland would dock at both ends of the canal every few days, which was self-evident.
The Xiao family's bottom line was tested and challenged again and again. The two children were very good, whether it was Zhenxi or Weiyi, but compared with the other four children, they were a little bit worse.
Xie Chengrun couldn't help but feel anxious as he watched the increasingly complicated situation unfold. Furthermore, the in-laws of the woman's family swarmed in, each with their own agenda.
She knew that although Xiao Zhen treated her well, she was facing many challenges due to the various actions of her natal family's increasingly ambitious relatives who were taking advantage of their power and her position was in jeopardy.
At this time, news came from his mother's family that the family business was in trouble and urgently needed funds. After much hesitation, Xie Chengrun decided to use part of the group's funds to save his mother's family.
However, Xiao Zhen soon learned about this and was furious. He did not expect Xie Chengrun to be so disregarding of the overall situation.
He reduced Xie Chengrun's power in the group and transferred her away from core management positions.
Xie Chengrun was filled with regret and hatred. She knew that she had made a big mistake this time.
At this time, the situation on the Lalang Canal became increasingly tense, and the Siamese forces continued to make small moves.
Xiao Zhen devoted himself to dealing with external challenges and became even colder towards Xie Chengrun.
Xie Chengrun could only pray secretly, hoping to find an opportunity to save the situation and regain Xiao Zhen's trust.
Traveling to the South Pacific was the last advice given to Xie Chengrun, but Xie Chengrun did not change at all. He listened to the instigation of his ambitious relatives from his mother's side and wanted to deceive his son Zhenxi about the Huasheng Vale Mining Bolivia project that was being managed at the time. This was Xiaozhen's own core mineral resource, and whoever touched it would die.
When Xie Chengrun heard that his cousin's family had their legs broken for three consecutive days, he went crazy and made a scene in front of Xiao Zhen.
Xiao Zhen had already had enough at that time, and Zhen Xi was a complete loser and lazy guy.
Xiao Zhen simply divorced Xie Chengrun, and Zhenxi was taken to serve in the army.
After Xiao Zhen and Xie Chengrun divorced, they moved back to Xiao Zhen Manor in the suburbs of Bangkok, Siam. Xiao Zhen gave this large manor directly to Xie Chengrun, and as for anything else, he didn't even think about it.
Xie Chengrun, who was recuperating in a manor on the outskirts of Bangkok, suddenly felt the warmth and coldness of human nature.
No one comes to ask about my well-being anymore, and even if there is, they are just trying to take advantage of me.
Fed up with her relatives in Siam, Xie Chengrun packed her bags and left Siam, returning to Hangzhou to continue running her own Taizheng Pharmaceutical.
On the eve of the Dragon Boat Festival in 2025, Xie Chengrun stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window on the top floor of Taizheng Pharmaceutical Group, his fingertips stroking the lotus pattern on the blue and white porcelain teacup.
The Qiantang River shone silver in the morning mist. The light show at the Olympic Sports Center on the opposite bank had not yet begun, but the buzzing of traffic downstairs was already coming towards us, wrapped in a heat wave.
"Chairman, the CFO of your cousin's building materials company has been squatting in the group building for three days again." The secretary's voice was tinged with uneasiness. "They said they wanted to discuss strategic cooperation..."
The glass curtain wall reflected Xie Chengrun's exquisite makeup, and she suddenly remembered the video in the family group last week.
My third uncle trembled as he held up the equity transfer agreement. In the background, my cousin, with her bright red nail polish, poked at the screen: "Arun, you should have given us the shares of Taizheng Pharmaceutical back then!"
The phone suddenly vibrated, and the video request from Zhenxi flashed stubbornly on the screen.
The moment the call was connected, the boy's dark face bore the marks of being burned by the scorching sun of the plateau. The two bars and one star on his epaulettes gleamed in the morning light. "Mom, this exercise..."
"Zhenxi!" she blurted out, then bit her lip in panic. From the other end of the video came the roar of waves crashing against the rocks.
The young man paused as he lowered his head to adjust his tactical gloves. "Don't worry, I'm sure to achieve excellent results in this joint exercise."
"Son, you don't have to be so tired." Xie Chengrun said as he looked at his son who looked much darker in the video.
"Mom, are the relatives from grandma and grandpa's family thinking of something again? Ask them to send someone to the big villa in Sanya in July. Otherwise, I will settle all the old and new accounts together. Just say it was my son who said that. I will take my annual leave then." Zhenxi was obviously very angry with these weird blood-sucking insects.
"Son, your mother will take care of it. You should work hard in the army and don't let your grandfather and father down again." Xie Chengrun said softly...
Bougainvillea is in full bloom in the garden of the Xiao family's old house on the outskirts of Bangkok.
Xie Chengrun walked into the ancestral hall in high heels, and the strong smell of sandalwood mixed with sobbing hit his face.
Second Aunt sat slumped in front of the altar, clutching a yellowed birth certificate: "Your brother's grandson is already a month old! Just because you're a married daughter..."
"This is my third uncle's diabetes test report." She gently placed the document under the gilded incense burner and caught a glimpse of her cousin's son in the corner - the young man who was interning at Huasheng Mining, secretly taking pictures of the financial statements with his mobile phone.
