Chapter Summary
Whenever we expand a supermarket, they follow suit." Because of Zhou Rui, Zhang Jing was really reluctant to bring up the property management company. She had been somewhat reluctant when the company was initially acquired because Zhou Rui was known for her seductive charm. However, now that so much time had passed, she realized Liu Ning had no interest in Zhou Rui, so Zhang Jing had put her mind at ease.
"Actually, the property management company is doing quite well. Their sales have been very high recently. Of course, they've also taken advantage of us quite a bit. Whenever we expand a supermarket, they follow suit."
Because of Zhou Rui, Zhang Jing was really reluctant to bring up the property management company. She had been somewhat reluctant when the company was initially acquired because Zhou Rui was known for her seductive charm. However, now that so much time had passed, she realized Liu Ning had no interest in Zhou Rui, so Zhang Jing had put her mind at ease. Although she felt a certain amount of jealousy as Liu Ning's wife, she had to be accommodating in this major matter. She couldn't afford to make a scene; that wouldn't benefit anyone.
“Tell Zhou Rui that you can continue to expand outwards. I will be your support in the future. Although we don’t need to expand too much right now, it won’t be a problem in the slums. There aren’t many powerful and wealthy companies here, so we won’t offend anyone by expanding here. Besides, we should indeed give the poor the help they deserve. This can be considered as us doing good deeds.”
Liu Ning had his own reasons for saying this. He was worried that Zhang Jing might be carrying the burden alone. While it's true that girls need to be strong, in today's society, it's unlikely that a girl can handle everything on her own. After all, society has reached an apocalypse, so many things have to be shouldered by men. If a girl tries to show off too much, it won't do her any good. There are plenty of people out there trying to take advantage of her. Zhang Jing and Zhou Rui are the kind of girls that people can't forget after just one look. So Liu Ning was a little worried that if these two girls got serious, they might really go down a path of no return. Therefore, Liu Ning had to give them some advice first, otherwise he would be the one to suffer.
"Don't worry, I'm absolutely fine on my end. Besides, I've been doing this for so long, I know what's going on. How about we get in touch with them and have dinner together tonight? It's been a long time since we've had a get-together."
Zhang Jing didn't want Liu Ning to worry, since the finals were coming up soon. She also knew that Liu Ning wouldn't be spending much time at home, so she didn't want him to put in the effort. She wanted Liu Ning to relax and ease his tension so that he could perform at his best during the competition.
“That’s fine. You can contact those people. The place doesn’t need to be too far. I’m too lazy to run around. Just the restaurant across from our house will do. I thought it was a good place when I had dinner with my uncle and his family last time. How about we have a small gathering there? Too many people wouldn’t be good. I don’t have the time to get to know them all. Just invite my old buddies.”
After experiencing so much, Liu Ning no longer enjoys crowds. Knowing that he has also encountered some trouble, he realized that involving everyone might not be a good thing for them. The current situation is quite good, so Liu Ning wanted to hold a small gathering before entering the ancient ruins to properly get to know his brothers.
It had been a long time since everyone had seen Liu Ning. They were all happy to hear that they would be having dinner together that night. Fang Qiang had taken on a lot of projects since he arrived, and he had already traveled to a place 30 kilometers away from here. However, when they heard that Liu Ning was back, they immediately said that they would go back, since they hadn't seen Liu Ning for a long time.
"There's something else I need to tell you. Sun Qiang and our cousin have already registered their marriage, so they're legally a couple. But they haven't held a wedding ceremony yet. They're still worried about our uncle. You know what kind of situation our uncle is. If this matter goes to him, he'll only ask for money. I'm afraid he'll ruin this couple's relationship. How about we postpone this for a bit until you come back from the ancient ruins?"
Zhang Jing brought up another matter. Liu Ning was in a good mood if she hadn't mentioned it, but this matter made her furious. Her uncle's family had no other interests than money. They had also taken all of her cousin's money. Now that she had finally found happiness, and seeing that Sun Qiang was a soldier with a lot of money, it would be a miracle if he didn't make exorbitant demands.
“Why drag this out? If they can’t reach an agreement, I’ll personally talk to my good uncle. I really don’t believe that if he doesn’t give me face now, I’ll make sure he can’t stay in this city. This guy only cares about money, and his daughter is just a commodity in his hands. So there’s no need to wait any longer. Even if we have to wait 10 or 8 years, he will never change his mind.”
Thinking about this, Liu Ning was so angry she could hardly sit still. Even if her cousin didn't remarry, the pension she received would have been enough for her to live comfortably. Her nephew in Fuyang was more than enough. Who knew that her uncle would covet their money and leave his own daughter with nowhere to go? The mother and son were on their balcony. Liu Ning had personally brought her cousin over, and at the time, he even made them put on a show of slapping themselves. Now, did he need their permission? It was as if they had no connection whatsoever.
When it comes to family ties, both her mother and cousin are rather weak. Even though they know this guy has gone too far, they are helpless because there was still a bond of kinship between them. But Liu Ning can't care about that anymore. His uncle has already broken Liu Ning's heart. If it weren't for his uncle, how could Liu Ning have suffered so much? This guy cheats anyone who is related to him. So if he tries to stop him this time, Liu Ning will definitely teach him a lesson.
Just as Liu Ning was thinking about this, her mother and cousin returned from outside. Sun Qiang was also carrying large bags and small packages. Before Sun Qiang and her cousin had any relationship, Liu Ning would invite him over for meals, but he almost never came. Apart from visiting his sister, he would stay at home the rest of the time. Now that he had this relationship with her cousin, he came over for meals every day.
