Yuan Shu’s expression finally changed.
The relationship between the Jiang family and the Xu family was complicated. The two families could be said to be one and were the Shi family’s greatest enemy.
Ever since the Shi family entered the domestic market, they had been making things difficult for the Shi family.
However, the relationship between these two families was different from that of the Shi family and the Li family.
The Shi family and the Li family were cooperating with each other and seeking their own benefits. They were far less close than those two families. Now, the Shi family needed the Li family’s power to develop business and the Li family needed the Shi family’s channels in the business world to profit. The two families could maintain a friendship on the surface, but tomorrow, they might betray each other for their own benefits.
To put it bluntly, there was only one tie between the two families: profit.
However, the Jiang and Xu families were different.
…..
The Xu family was an established family in the country. Their economic foundation was stable, but they didn’t innovate, so their development in recent years was far inferior to before.
The Jiang family started out in the underworld. In the underworld, they did whatever they wanted.
The Jiang and Xu families had marital alliances for many generations, so their relationship was already inseparable. The Xu family only followed the Jiang family’s orders. In recent years, the Xu family’s development wasn’t as good as before and the Xu family was entirely supported by the Jiang family, so no one dared to attack the Xu family.
The Xu family was willing to give up everything for the Jiang family and the wealth they had accumulated over the years couldn’t be underestimated.
The relationship between these two families was more like a banyan tree that had intertwined and grown into a towering tree. They were already inseparable.
In the later stages, the Shi family, the Jiang family, and the Xu family would inevitably fight head-on. The few families were like fire and water, so it was impossible for them to coexist anymore. However, that was already a matter for the future.
This high-end gown shop was under the Xu family’s name, but this matter might be related to the Jiang family.
Shi Xiao’s whereabouts were unknown, and the Shi family was a mess, so now wasn’t the best time to go against them.
But-
Yuan Shu was very protective of the Shi family!
She would never tolerate outsiders attacking her family in public. If Yuan Shu remained indifferent, then her title of “Iron Hand Lady” that once made people tremble in fear would be in vain!
On the way home, Shi Yi hid in the back seat. Yuan Shu didn’t scold him as she had expected. Instead, she remained silent, which made her even more uneasy, so she decided to speak first.
“Sister-in-law… I’m sorry… I caused trouble.”
Yuan Shu didn’t care about the change in Shi Yi’s way of addressing her. She slowly moved her gaze from the scenery outside the window to Shi Yi’s pale face.
“You’re not in the wrong. If you didn’t defend your rights today, you would have been in the wrong! You only need to protect your legal rights and interests. Leave the rest to me.”
When Shi Yi heard this, she couldn’t hold back her tears anymore and she couldn’t say anything.
She was so touched that she wanted to rush over and hug Yuan Shu, but she was afraid that Yuan Shu would push her away, so she could only cry.
It had been a long time since she experienced the feeling of being protected by her family. Her eldest brother, Shi Xiao, was a man. He was too serious and obtuse. Her only biological brother, Shi Bin, was a straight man with low EQ. How could she expect him to be considerate of her?
The ciders in the family were all overseas, so the four half-siblings maintained this dysfunctional family.
When Shi Yi was almost done crying, Yuan Shu said, “Go back and prepare. I’ll get my lawyer to contact you and tell you what evidence you need to prepare. Three days later, I’ll make the Xu family apologize to you in person!”
Before Shi Yi could be touched, Yuan Shu said, “You’re a smart person. You have to know what kind of friends you can make and what kind of friends you have to stay away from. Miss Chen abandoned you today, so she might stab you in the back in the future. The first thing to do in order to protect yourself is not to leave your back to others.”
Shi Yi nodded obediently.
Yuan Shu turned to Zhou Yan, who was driving, and said, “We’ll be staying at the ancestral home for the next few days. Let’s go to the villa to pack some clothes before going back. After sending us back, you can continue to follow Shi Lu on the set. I’m afraid there will be a lot of things to deal with on the set today.”
Zhou Yan nodded. “Madam, do you need me to send more people to follow you and Miss?”
It was necessary to send more people to protect the Xu family now. After Yuan Shu thought about it, she agreed..
