"Who are you looking for?"
"A forr business associate of my late husband." Xiao Shuju ntioned her deceased ex-husband and chuckled twice, "I know, he never liked . It was all a conspiracy."
Zhang Sanfeng naturally knew a bit about Lin Jiale’s story. He knew Lin Jiale held a grudge against the Xiao Family, and he knew Lin Jiale ultimately t a tragic end under soone’s wheels.
"You’re looking for that person?" Zhang Sanfeng hesitantly asked Xiao Shuju, "The person’s dead; what do you want with him?"
"I can’t let it go. I want to know what he intended to do to our family. I always feel like there’s a thorn stuck in my heart that I can’t pull out unless I get to the bottom of this. After all, if it weren’t for , he wouldn’t have gotten into the Xiao Family in the first place, nor could he have acted against us," Xiao Shuju said, "Besides, he’s dead, but his heir is not."
After listening to her words, Zhang Sanfeng realized that her last sentence might be her genuine intention.
"What have you discovered?" Zhang Sanfeng asked.
Almost four years have passed; surely Xiao Shuju had discovered sothing by now. If she hadn’t found anything, she wouldn’t be here talking to Zhang Sanfeng. Therefore, Zhang Sanfeng recalled the last ti she called Zhong Qiaohui. Was she just simply looking for Zhong Qiaohui?
To this, Xiao Shuju did not deny: "When I called that ti, it seed like I heard your voice, thinking that it’s possible you were around Miss Zhong, so I ca to check. Of course, I originally wanted to have an in-depth conversation with Miss Zhong, but it seems that Miss Zhong didn’t want to talk to much. I guess she might know sothing."
Since Xiao Shuju kept ntioning what she supposedly knew, Zhang Sanfeng had reason to believe her. "You say she knows sothing? I an, what exactly are you talking about?"
Xiao Shuju turned to look at the door, as if there was soone standing there.
Zhang Sanfeng said, "That’s my brother, who you know."
He wasn’t talking about Zhang Yingxi, but about Zhan Dapeng.
Zhan Dapeng was standing at the door, keeping watch.
Knowing it was her brother’s group, Xiao Shuju was sowhat troubled; clearly, she didn’t want the matter to get too big and let her brother in on too much, given that things were still unsettled. Zhang Sanfeng noticed the concern in her eyes, saying, "We might not tell Yebai about it. Besides, with Yebai’s capability, perhaps whatever you know, he already knows but just hasn’t told us."
Xiao Shuju thought, it really might be possible. Her brother is naturally smarter than her; perhaps she’s just being overconfident.
Zhan Dapeng closed the door for them, which was like providing Xiao Shuju with reassurance.
Xiao Shuju sat down and cautiously spoke with Zhang Sanfeng, "My husband’s friend, everyone calls him Mr. Gray."
Gray? Apparently, Zhang Sanfeng hadn’t heard of this person, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.
Seeing his confusion and lack of response, Xiao Shuju pouted, "You seem completely disinterested in the Zhang Family’s business."
Zhang Sanfeng admitted to this. Originally, the family’s enterprise was under his eldest brother Zhang Yingxi. After Zhang Yingxi was gone, it was handled by his second brother Zhang Yingxi, so it never fell on him, the third son, to take charge. Moreover, ddling in the family’s assets would be akin to seizing power, inciting resentnt from his two elder brothers; such actions that could foster division among brothers, Zhang Sanfeng wouldn’t do them.
"I always have been minimally involved with our family’s business," Zhang Sanfeng said, "Anyway, I can earn a living for myself."
"How can you say that?" Xiao Shuju replied, "Look at before; I was a lot like you. Didn’t really understand what the family was doing. All I knew was what my husband said, and I followed. My husband said there should be a share of the family property for , and I agreed, but as for how the company operates and makes money, I was clueless. As a result, I was like a fool, letting others lead blindly by the nose. Now, no matter how much regret, it’s there. We’re not talking about snatching family assets, just caring about the family isn’t wrong. Money, it can be a matter of life and death. You surely wouldn’t want anyone in the family to face life threats or ruin because of so money, right? Indeed, most troubles are born out of money."
