Chapter 2594 He Xiaozhang's Family

He Xiao carried a gift box into the Lou family villa. A servant stepped forward to take it from her, but He Xiao refused.

"This is the jewelry I bought for my mom. I want to put it on her myself."

Where's my mom?

"Is the old lady resting upstairs?" Lou Xiao'e came downstairs as soon as the servant finished speaking.

"So you still know how to come home." When Lou Xiao'e saw He Xiao, there was not much joy on her face, but rather a hint of disgust.

I used to dote on He Xiao because He Xiao was Sha Zhu's son.

Sha Zhu gave her the purest and most beautiful love, and also saved the lives of the Lou family.

Lou Xiao'e always had a strange, inexplicable feeling for Sha Zhu.

But ever since she was hurt by Sha Zhu, she has severed all ties with him.

Lou Xiao'e began to hate Sha Zhu, and hated everyone and everything related to Sha Zhu.

What Lou Xiao'e hated most were widows. Any widow would be on her blacklist of haters.

As a result, her eldest son, on whom she had placed so much hope, ended up marrying a widow.

Lou Xiao'e felt like a joke.

If it weren't for the fact that the second son Chen Yunan's biological father was still alive and had a close relationship with Chen Yunan...

Lou Xiao'e feared that the Lou family's property would be seized by Chen Yunan's biological father.

Lou Xiao'e had already revoked He Xiao's right to inherit the family property.

When He Xiao saw Lou Xiao'e, he inexplicably felt guilty.

"Mom, I've come to see you."

"No need, you should go find your widow Guan." Lou Xiao'e said coldly as she slowly walked downstairs.

He Xiao, holding the items, moved closer to Lou Xiao'e: "Mom, look, this is jewelry I bought especially for you. It's a set made to resemble the one in the deaf old lady's photo."

Do you think it looks like it?

Lou Xiao'e glanced at it and froze. She was all too familiar with this set of jewelry.

That was the deaf old lady's favorite set of jewelry, and she was wearing it in her favorite photo.

Lou Xiao'e, a close friend of the deaf old lady, had met her more than once.

Unfortunately, the deaf old lady later sold the jewelry and donated it to the government.

These words were told to Lou Xiao'e by the deaf old lady.

Seeing Lou Xiao'e's expression, He Xiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Actually, this was prepared by Jin Jichuan for He Xiao.

He Xiao had never seen the photo of the deaf old lady, so how could he possibly have customized such jewelry?

Only Jin Jichuan could find some old photos of deaf elderly women and reproduce such jewelry.

"Where did you see the picture of the deaf old lady?" Lou Xiao'e wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and asked He Xiao softly.

Lou Xiao'e left in such a hurry that she didn't have time to tell the deaf old lady, let alone ask for her photo.

By the time Lou Xiao'e returned from Hong Kong, the deaf old lady had already died.

Sha Zhu lived a muddled life, unaware of where the old deaf woman's old photos had gone.

Qin Huairu told Shazhu that Yi Zhonghai had ordered the photos to be burned, and Shazhu told her that the photos had all been burned.

Lou Xiao'e had questioned Sha Zhu before, but it was no use. Sha Zhu simply said, "It was an order from an old man," and shut her up.

You can't ask anymore after that, because if you do, you'll be seen as an elder who's always right.

Lou Xiao'e never saw that photo again.

He Xiao glanced at Lou Xiao'e: "Back when I was in Beijing, I saw it in Aunt Qin's, no, I saw it in Widow Qin's photo album."

She said she kept it as a keepsake.

Lou Xiao'e's face turned quite ugly upon hearing Qin Huairu's name.

"You're just like your brainless father."

Lou Xiao'e felt a surge of hatred at the mention of Sha Zhu. This Hong Kong socialite had shamelessly tried to compete with Qin Huairu for Sha Zhu. And Sha Zhu, not only did he choose Qin Huairu, he even helped Qin Huairu scheme against her.

"Mom, I heard that Dad was kicked out of the Jia family's house?"

"He deserved it. His fate was sealed the moment he chose to be Qin Huairu's dog."

Let me tell you, even Dorgon couldn't handle a widow, do you think you can?

Lou Xiao, listen to your mother, break up with that widow.

He Xiao argued, "Mom, Shanshan is actually a very good person. She has never thought about getting anything from me."

She just wanted to find someone to rely on, so she could survive.

"Qin Huairu said the same thing back then..." In order to persuade He Xiao, Lou Xiao'e started talking about the past of the courtyard house.

In the past, when Lou Xiao'e talked about the courtyard house, she would talk about how Sha Zhu taught Xu Damao a lesson, how he manipulated the people in the courtyard house, and she would even say that Sha Zhu helped the Jia family by doing a good deed.

Now everything has changed. The main characters of the story have become Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu, and it's all about how the two of them deceived and manipulated Sha Zhu.

In order to please Lou Xiao'e, He Xiao patiently listened to Lou Xiao'e's story.

Guan Shan was just about to go shopping when she received a call from Jin Jichuan.

"Mr. Jin, what can I do for you?"

Jin Jichuan smiled and said, "A friend has come and would like to invite you to dinner."

"What kind of friend?" Guan Shan asked curiously.

“He’s a section chief at the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. He’s a very powerful person. All our business deals will need his approval from now on.” Jin Jichuan explained, afraid that Guan Shan wouldn’t know the section chief’s influence.

If Jin Jichuan hadn't explained, Guan Shan really wouldn't have taken a minor section chief seriously.

After Jin Jichuan's explanation, Guan Shan realized that a section chief in a ministry could wield such great power.

Guan Shan immediately went back to her room, changed into her sexiest outfit, and went to the hotel.

Jin Jichuan enthusiastically helped introduce the two parties.

"Director Tong, this is Miss Guan, a talented woman from Wuhan University."

Director Tong leered at Guan Shan's small hand and wouldn't let go: "Miss Guan, hello."

Guan Shan smiled and said flattering things, never thinking of pulling her hand away.

Director Tong was a seasoned pro; he could tell from the woman's demeanor that Guan Shan was easy to seduce.

So his movements became increasingly exaggerated and blatant.

Guan Shan doesn't dislike normal contact, but she finds it hard to accept things like this with Director Tong.

Guan Shan asked Jin Jichuan for help several times, but Jin Jichuan remained unmoved and even cheered from the sidelines.

Seeing that Guan Shan was not cooperating, Director Tong became somewhat annoyed: "Brother Jin, I'm going to the restroom."

Jin Jichuan understood what Director Tong meant. After Director Tong left, he said to Guan Shan, "Miss Guan, congratulations, Director Tong has taken a liking to you."

Guan Shan said, "Mr. Jin, what do you mean? I am Lou Xiao's woman."

Jin Jichuan whispered, "Miss Guan, stop dreaming. You know very well what the Lou family's situation is. No matter how much you try to please He Xiao, you won't get any of the Lou family's assets."

On the contrary, Director Tong is different. If you serve him well, you'll ultimately receive far more than the Lou family.

"He's just a minor section chief. Even if he accepts gifts every day, how much could he possibly take?" Guan Shan was practically accusing Section Chief Tong of embezzlement.

Jin Jichuan laughed heartily: "Director Tong may not have money, but he can give you shares with just a word."

No matter how much you try to please Lou Xiao, you still have to be mindful of her mood.

But it's different if you take shares. Then you won't have to worry about what others think when you spend money.

Guan Shan was taken aback and began to think about it carefully. She certainly understood the principle that money was only truly hers when it was in her own hands.

"Are you really guaranteeing that I will get shares?"

Jin Jichuan patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, if he won't give it to you, I will. As long as you keep Director Tong happy, I promise to give you 0.5% of the shares."

Guan Shan knew very well that 0.5% was already quite a lot.

"Okay, I agree." (End of Chapter)
