Chapter 236: 082: Hidden secret for many years_6

Upon hearing these words, Shen Ruzhen glanced at the servants nearby as well as Zhang Xianxian’s assistant.

Immediately getting the hint, they walked outside.

Shen Ruzhen spoke indifferently, "Your father is so smart, he naturally has his own plans."

Zhang Xianxian narrowed her eyes, "What do you mean?"

Shen Ruzhen glanced out the window, "At that time... there was a very prominent family from the Capital Circle looking for their young miss, who had been lost for over a decade..."

Hearing this, Zhang Xianxian had a sudden realization, "So, they thought Lin Guixiang was that young miss."

No wonder Zhang Dalong would set up a waitress.

It turns out there was a reason for everything.

Although the Zhang family was the first wealthy family in Qing City, their assets were nothing in the eyes of the Capital Circle.

For someone like Zhang Dalong to marry a legitimate young miss from the Capital Circle was harder than reaching the heavens!

But if he took a shortcut to climb into the Capital Circle, then he could build a skyscraper from flat ground in the future!

That’s why Zhang Dalong set his sights on Lin Guixiang, who was suspected to be the young miss. He orchestrated Lin Guixiang getting drunk, subsequently had relations with her, and ultimately got her pregnant and registered their marriage successfully.

Shen Ruzhen nodded, "Who knew it would turn out to be a huge mix-up later on, your grandmother and your father celebrated in vain, and given Lin Guixiang gave birth to a loss-making deal, naturally, they couldn’t let such a woman enter the door, so they quietly annulled the marriage registration and replaced it with a fake marriage certificate for Lin Guixiang."

Eighteen years ago, it was very simple for the Zhang family to cover the skies with one hand in Qing City if they wanted to annul a marriage registration.

When Old Madam Zhang found out that Lin Guixiang wasn’t the wealthy family’s daughter, she cried for an entire day.

Originally Old Madam Zhang had hoped Lin Guixiang, this phoenix, would help the Zhang family soar to the skies.

Who would have thought...

The dream of the Capital Circle shattered just like that, who wouldn’t be distressed?

Even now, whenever Old Madam Zhang mentioned this incident, she still felt it was an ominous matter.

She had never misjudged a person in her life.

Only on this matter did she make a mistake.

Zhang Xianxian continued, "Then how did grandmother eventually find out Lin Guixiang wasn’t the wealthy family’s young miss?"

Shen Ruzhen toyed with her beautiful nails, "Of course, it was because of the DNA paternity test."

As the words fell, Shen Ruzhen narrowed her eyes, "I heard Lin Guixiang was quite similar to that young miss from the Capital Circle in many aspects, but the test results proved otherwise."

At that time, the incident caused quite a stir, but the Capital Circle side, in order not to let others with ulterior motives take action, did not inform Lin Guixiang herself.

So.

Until her death, Lin Guixiang would never know why Zhang Dalong had set his sights on her.

She would be even less likely to know why Zhang Dalong, the head of the Zhang family, would go to great lengths to deceive her, a waitress who was nothing at all.

Only now did Zhang Xianxian understand the whole process of the matter, "No wonder grandmother would agree to let dad register a marriage with this kind of person."

That’s when Shen Ruzhen remembered the matter at hand, looking at Zhang Xianxian, "How is your F plan coming along?"

Zhang Xianxian had always been the pride of Shen Ruzhen’s heart.

Her daughter had been smart from an early age, her hands growing soft from holding so many scholarships as a child, and by the time she was fifteen or sixteen, she could even help Zhang Dalong with official business and had resolved several crises.

Even Old Madam Zhang, who favored boys over girls, liked Zhang Xianxian a lot, often sighing that it was a pity Zhang Xianxian wasn’t a boy.

If she had been a boy, she could have carried on the family line for the Zhang family.

Three months ago, Zhang Xianxian began to publicly declare her intention to launch the F plan, informing the shareholders that she would work with Xiangdong Group.

Xiangdong Group was a major business giant in City C.

The founder’s surname was Shen.

People outside called him Ninth Master Shen.

This Ninth Master Shen lost his wife early and brought up his daughter alone, known for his strange temper, rarely cooperating with others.

Even dignitaries from the Capital Circle couldn’t convince him to work with them.

Therefore, ever since Zhang Xianxian confidently stated her intention to collaborate with Xiangdong Group, all the shareholders of the board had been waiting to see Zhang Xianxian’s downfall.

Zhang Xianxian nodded, her eyes brimming with self-assurance, "Don’t worry, Mom, I never say anything I’m not sure of."

Upon hearing this, Shen Ruzhen breathed a sigh of relief, as if remembering something, "By the way, Xianxian, I’ve heard that a dark horse has recently emerged in the skincare industry."

The Zhang family was in the business of selling skincare products.

They were the first partners of a famous foreign corporation in Qing City.

Provided with skin care raw materials by the corporation, they were responsible for production and sales, then distributing them throughout the South China Market.

"What dark horse?" Zhang Xianxian narrowed her eyes.

"I’ve heard it’s called Beauty Chant."

The effects of Beauty Chant were quite good, hence it had made a name in the socialite circles. In the past few days, whenever Shen Ruzhen went out for tea, she would always hear these three words.
