Chapter 1009: Taking the Initiative to Show Goodwill

Qian Hongyan suddenly felt that the miserable life she was living now was not even as good as her time at the black coal mine.

As she wept, she recalled her life at the black coal mine, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart: "Back at the black coal mine, although the environment was indeed a bit poor, at least after I followed that foreman, I could eat my fill every day!"

"Not only did I not have to go hungry, but I didn't have to do much work every day, and I could still boss He Lian and her family around. Thinking about it carefully, it was actually quite satisfying."

"And... and... and that foreman, although he was a bit ugly and dirty, his ability in that regard was truly very strong. On some level, it also allowed me to experience a feeling I had never known before..."

Thinking of this, Qian Hongyan let out a long sigh and said tearfully to Xiao Weiwei beside her: "Weiwei, tell me, what kind of life is our family living! From morning till night, it's either this problem or that problem. Whatever money we had is gone, the company we had went bankrupt, and now we are borrowing a villa to live in, and we don't even have a bite to eat. When will this kind of life ever end..."

Xiao Weiwei couldn't help but shed tears as well, choking up: "Mom, I can't figure it out either. Our family used to live quite well, everything was quite good. My relationship with Brother Yunfei was also very good, and we were about to get married, but then suddenly, things just got worse day by day..."

Qian Hongyan sighed and said: "We have to go to a temple to pray one of these days. If things go on like this, our lives will be tossed away..."

Xiao Weiwei said: "Mom, now that I think about it carefully, our family started having bad luck, it seems it started after Grandma's last birthday."

"Hmm?" Qian Hongyan asked in surprise: "Which birthday?"

Xiao Weiwei said: "The last one. At the last birthday banquet, Brother Yunfei gave Grandma a Hetian jade Buddha, and that Zhang Wenhao who was pursuing Xiao Churan even sent someone to give Grandma a jade Buddha pendant."

Qian Hongyan nodded: "I remember, that jade Buddha pendant of Zhang Wenhao's was worth quite a lot of money. It was said to be worth three or four million..."

Speaking of this, Qian Hongyan sighed with regret: "What a pity! That jade Buddha pendant, along with your Grandma's other antique jewelry, was seized by the bank."

Xiao Weiwei said: "At that birthday banquet, Ye Chen even asked Grandma to borrow money, saying it was to pay for the medical treatment of that Auntie Li from the welfare institute. Do you remember?"

"I remember." Qian Hongyan gritted her teeth and cursed: "That stinking loser Ye Chen, borrowing money at a birthday banquet, he really had the nerve. In the end, he was scolded by your Grandma and rolled away in disgrace. Thinking about it makes me happy!"

Xiao Weiwei said: "I'm not trying to say that. I'm trying to say that I always feel that from that night on, our family started to have constant bad luck..."

"Is that so?" Qian Hongyan frowned and asked her: "What was the first piece of bad luck?"

Xiao Weiwei hurriedly said: "The first thing was the day after the birthday banquet! Brother Yunfei and I went to the Dihao Group, wanting to deliver an invitation to the vice chairman of the Dihao Group, Wang Dongxue, and incidentally build a relationship. As a result, we ran into Ye Chen downstairs at the Dihao Group..."

"Ye Chen?" Qian Hongyan asked: "What did Ye Chen go there for?"

Xiao Weiwei said: "Ye Chen said at the time that he went to the Dihao Group to apply for a job, and then Brother Yunfei and I mocked him. Immediately after, strange things started happening..."

"What strange things?!"

Xiao Weiwei said: "Brother Yunfei and I went upstairs to see Wang Dongxue, but Wang Dongxue wouldn't see us and even sent word that the Dihao Group wouldn't cooperate with low-quality trash like us. Immediately after, Brother Yunfei was beaten by the Dihao Group's security guards..."

As she spoke, Xiao Weiwei added: "And then, the Dihao Group terminated the cooperation with Brother Yunfei's family. Brother Yunfei's father and uncle were both very angry. From that time on, Brother Yunfei gradually distanced himself from me, and then his uncle Wang Zhenggang, I don't know how, got very close to Ye Chen and even gave that large villa next door to Ye Chen..."

"And then, the Dihao Group contract that Xiao Churan negotiated was also terminated by the Dihao Group because of Grandma's broken promise. From that time on, our family started going downhill..."

"Zhang Wenhao was pursuing Xiao Churan, and while he was pursuing her, his family went bankrupt, and he himself evaporated into thin air for no reason..."

"Gao Junwei of the Gao family was also pursuing Xiao Churan, and as a result, he disappeared along with his father Gao Jianjun. To this day, the Gao family is still offering a large reward to find their whereabouts..."

"Xiao Yiqian came to our house, originally wanting to back us up, but as a result, he was also beaten by Ye Chen. Not only did he lose his ability to be a man, but he also slunk back to Yanjing..."

"Xiao Yiqian later gave me to Wei Zhangming, and Wei Zhangming also looked down on Ye Chen. As a result, Wei Zhangming and his father also disappeared. Now the enterprise is inherited by his family's illegitimate son, and I even heard that the two of them are now digging for ginseng at the foot of Mount Zhangbai. I don't know if it's true or false..."

Qian Hongyan was originally so hungry she could feel her back against her chest, but hearing this, she suddenly sat up, slammed the coffee table, and roared angrily: "That dog-day Ye Chen! It was him who sent me to the black coal mine back then! Damn it! In my opinion, he is the mastermind behind all of this!"

Xiao Weiwei hurriedly asked her: "Mom, do you think this Ye Chen might be hiding some strength? Otherwise, how could he have such great influence that no one is his match?!"

"Strength?" Qian Hongyan curled her lips and said with disdain: "That orphan, what strength could he have? He doesn't even deserve to mention the word strength!"

Xiao Weiwei retorted: "Then how could he make so many big shots treat him with such respect? This proves that he must have some skills we don't know about."

Qian Hongyan gritted her teeth and said: "His skill is swindling!"

Xiao Weiwei shook her head and said: "I think he definitely has real skills, otherwise so many big shots couldn't all be fooled by him..."

As she spoke, Xiao Weiwei said seriously: "It's possible he really understands some Feng Shui! Maybe he secretly used Feng Shui to play tricks on us, which is why our family has been getting more and more unlucky!"

Qian Hongyan suddenly widened her eyes and blurted out: "Now that you mention it, it really seems to make some sense! He must have set up that kind of Feng Shui formation for us, making us more and more unlucky while he becomes more and more awesome!"

Xiao Weiwei nodded hurriedly and said: "I think that's eight or nine out of ten the case! Otherwise, how could a loser live-in son-in-law like him suddenly become so powerful? Mom, we have to think of a way!"

Qian Hongyan said with a mournful face: "What way can I think of? We can't even eat now. If we want to fight with Ye Chen's family, we at least need a backer!"

Xiao Weiwei hurriedly said: "I'm not talking about fighting with Ye Chen, Mom. We couldn't beat him before, and now it's even more impossible..."

As she spoke, Xiao Weiwei said with an eager face: "Mom, Xiao Churan is my cousin after all, and no matter what, Ye Chen is my cousin-in-law. Why don't we take the initiative to show him goodwill and then beg them to help us out? If that really doesn't work, I can even be a mistress for Ye Chen!" ===== CHAPTER 1010 =====
