Chapter 1142 - 882: Zhang Dandan’s Lover (2)
Besides the relatives in Z City, there are those back home, Zhang Dandan’s own uncle, whose family isn’t lacking either; they run a big business and even have a mountain to their name.
He got involved with Zhang Dandan for the sake of these two relatives, but unexpectedly, in the end, he discovered that Zhang Dandan and her troublesome mother had offended these major relatives.
Years of no contact, and she herself is doing worse than her older sister, who she always called a hypocrite.
If he had known this, he wouldn’t have kept entangled with Zhang Dandan, this woman’s scheming runs deep. Before, when he asked Zhang Dandan to introduce him to these two families, she would always find various excuses to refuse, saying things like the timing wasn’t right. Now, he divorced his wife with great difficulty, giving away half of his assets to his ex-wife, all to please Zhang Dandan and to try and connect with her relatives. These two relatives, just a little guidance from them, and he could recover his lost assets.
But it’s been months since his divorce, and Zhang Dandan still finds excuses to avoid introducing him. If it weren’t for him accidentally overhearing Zhang Dandan’s conversation with her mother about her uncle cutting ties with them, he would still be kept in the dark by Zhang Dandan.
That day, he furiously confronted Zhang Dandan, and only then did Zhang Dandan tell him the truth. He was so angry he hit Zhang Dandan in a rage. But even beating her was useless; now that the marriage is over, money given to the ex-wife, he has nowhere to turn for his regrets.
Today, by chance, he ran into Zhang Dandan’s cousin. He can’t miss this opportunity to make her acquaintance.
Lin Wan looked at Wang Qianjin, who had just been beaten, his face covered in bloody marks, his hands smeared with dirt and blood. After noticing Lin Wan’s expression, he quickly smiled and wiped his face with his hands and clothes.
Even so, Lin Wan still had no intention of shaking hands with him, but Wang Qianjin didn’t mind. He said to Lin Wan, "Are you also here to buy a house? I can help connect you with sellers. I know many others offering houses for much less than this one; don’t be fooled by this family. The houses here have been vacant for years and can’t be lived in. They’re definitely not worth the asking price."
"Yes, cousin, you should talk to Sister Su and make sure you don’t buy at a high price. My husband, Old Wang, has a sharp eye. This place is not suitable for living. I think buying an apartment in the city is more appropriate." Zhang Dandan felt she had learned a lot following Wang Qianjin for so long and quickly advised Lin Wan.
Lin Wan smiled faintly, saying, "No need, my brother understands this, we don’t need anyone else involved. We have things to attend to, so we’ll go ahead."
The meaning was clear: she didn’t want to say much to them. However, Wang Qianjin didn’t want to miss this opportunity. The man beside Zhang Dandan’s cousin, he recognized him; he works in Shanghai in the electronics field and is not only successful there but also well-known in S City.
This is a big opportunity; if he could get to know him, he wouldn’t have to worry about earning money in the future.
"Cousin, is this our brother? It’s rare to meet here; you and Dandan haven’t seen each other for years, right? Why don’t I host us for a meal today? I’ve known Dandan for so many years but never met her family. It’s a good chance, and then Dandan and I got our marriage certificate, so we can visit Z City and pay our respects properly."
Wang Qianjin’s words made Lin Wan chuckle, immediately rejecting him, "Sorry, we’re busy, and your marriage has nothing to do with us; we’re not interested. You can get your certificate whenever you want; didn’t Dandan tell you we have some unpleasantness between our families? The best way is to stay as far apart as possible. I have things to do, so I won’t chat idly with you." While saying this, Lin Wan maintained a gentle smile on her face, then signaled Hu Dong, following Su Lingpei Bai into the yard.
Leaving Wang Qianjin embarrassed, emotions rising, he turned and glared coldly at Zhang Dandan, "Look at yourself, how you manage relations; your relatives end up like this. Tell me, does your family have any brains at all? Relatives as wealthy and powerful as these, which family isn’t handling it well? But here you are, offending all of them. No wonder the relatives around your family prosper, while your family is digging dirt, and rightly so."
"Old Wang, it’s all my mom’s fault. A few years ago, my mom had some conflicts with my aunt and my uncle over my brothers, they’re relatives no matter what, can’t escape it. We should make amends; surely they’ll forgive us eventually."
"Now I see clearly, everyone who stays away from your family prospers. Look at your sister, she’s smarter; she gets along well with your uncle and aunt’s family. When your sister had no money, your uncle helped her manage a great shop, it’s practically handing her money. Look at her now, she bought a house in the county, living like city people. Your mom always looks down on others, fooling herself. Just upset seeing her daughter’s success and wealth, it slaps her face, she can’t handle it. You, stay away from your mother, don’t follow her lead in everything. She’s an ignorant village woman."
With Wang Qianjin’s words, Zhang Dandan realized it seemed to be the case, "Hmm, okay, I’ll listen to you from now on."
"Hmm. Let’s go, I’ve lost face today, let’s go home and clean up. To be forgiven, you must visit them humbly a few times; learn from this." Wang Qianjin cast an annoyed glance at Zhang Dandan, taking the lead in walking ahead.
"Got it" Zhang Dandan turned to look at Lin Wan in the yard, paused, then quickly followed Wang Qianjin, supporting him while walking away.
