Old Resentment!

Money has a strange smell?

Wu Jie frowned and said with a forced smile,

“They’re all old notes, constantly being handled, mixing all kinds of smells together.

How could they not be strange?”

“It seems you were only focused on dividing the money and didn’t bother to sniff!”

Tang Xiao let out a cold laugh and headed straight for the bathroom.

“What strange smell though!”

Unable to curb his curiosity, Wu Jie immediately went out to find Zhu Cui.

As the door opened, he saw Zhu Cui with tears streaming down her face.

“What happened to you?”

Wu Jie walked into the room and casually closed the door behind him.

“What are you crying for, looking perfectly fine?”

Zhu Cui opened her travel bag and sobbed, “I’ve counted it, there’s over eight hundred thousand!”

Wu Jie sat on the edge of the bed and laughed, “Having money is a good thing, so why the crying?”

“I…

I can’t figure it out!”

Zhu Cui knelt on the ground, looking at the bundles and bundles of cash in the bag, “Back then, just for a hundred thousand, Yao Bilan and Zhu Dacai wanted to sell me to Cheng Bao!

For just a hundred thousand.

I am a human being, not a beast!”

Wu Jie sighed, casually picking up a bundle of cash from the bag.

“What’s done is done.

Don’t think too much about it.”

“Look at you now, with money, and you have brothers and sisters who like you.

Later in school, you’ll meet even more people!”

“You have a completely different life now, so don’t dwell on the past.”

“Of course, don’t forget who you are just because you’re suddenly rich.”

Zhu Cui nodded repeatedly, “I know, I won’t squander the money.

I’ve finally got a brand-new life, and I’ll cherish it.

I won’t disappoint you, brother!”

Wu Jie put the money down and smiled, “Tomorrow, after we register for school, I’ll take you to deposit this in the bank!”

“Also, don’t mention tonight’s incident to mom and dad, so they won’t worry and be frightened!”

Zhu Cui nodded earnestly, “I know that.

You should rest early, brother, and don’t keep your sister-in-law waiting.”

Make Tang Xiao wait?

Wait for what!?

They were simply strangers sharing a bed!

Wu Jie opened the door and smiled sheepishly,

“Go to sleep early.

We’re leaving at eight tomorrow morning, and don’t forget to prepare breakfast for your brother and sister-in-law!”

“Absolutely!

I said I’d serve my brother for a lifetime!”

Pfft!

Wu Jie nearly spat blood, but he was too lazy to say more.

Returning to the master bedroom, Tang Xiao had finished her bath and was lying on the bed, looking at her phone.

“Did you go specially to sniff the strange smell?”

Wu Jie nodded, “I did smell it, there’s a scent of ice, and the purity is quite high!”

Tang Xiao smiled, “You now understand what kind of business the Mu Family of Tianyuan is secretly running, right?”

Wu Jie chuckled, “I’ve heard that around Tianyuan, many businesses are held in a three-legged stand?”

Tang Xiao slightly nodded, “The Fang Family, Xu Family, and Mu Family.

In recent years, the Mu Family’s expansion has been rapid, competing viciously many times with the Fang Family.

Mu En’s engagement party was actually to discuss collaboration with the Xu Family, but obviously, they didn’t come to an agreement!”

Wu Jie laughed awkwardly, “But Mu Father and Son really want to break the balance, so they’re trying to collude with the Xu Family of Liuli City!”

“And what of it?

Once they let the wolf in, without the Fang Family and Xu Family, the Xu Family will turn on them at any moment!”

Tang Xiao put down her phone and sighed, “But Mu Jun’s performance tonight was indeed unexpected!”

“Only those who endure humiliation can achieve great ambitions,” Wu Jie laughed.

“This Mu Jun clearly has a rebellious streak.

He simply lacks the support of a powerful benefactor; otherwise, he would certainly rise up against the Mu father and son and become the head of the Mu Family!”

Tang Xiao smiled in surprise, “I didn’t expect you to have such a clear understanding of Tianyuan’s underground forces.”

“In this line of work, how can you not understand the situation?” Wu Jie replied.

“Otherwise, you wouldn’t even know how you died!”

Wu Jie went to find a pair of shorts and was about to take a shower.

“Can’t you change this bad habit of yours?

What’s wrong with wearing pajamas to bed?”

“The internet also says that sleeping naked is even better for your body!

How about we try it?”

“Try your grandpa!”

Tang Xiao snapped off the bedside lamp and wrapped herself in the blanket to sleep on her side.

After showering and brushing his teeth, Wu Jie returned to bed and saw that Tang Xiao was still awake, so he asked, “The pain is worst the three days before your period.

Are you sure you can endure it?”

Tang Xiao replied coldly, “I’m fine.”

Wu Jie teased, “Today at the airport, I personally heard Mu En say that he had received a call from Xu Feng.

Could it be that their families’ cooperation was initiated by the Xu Family?”

Tang Xiao said coldly, “No matter who initiated it, if you’re not making dirty money, why care about these things?”

Wu Jie said, “I’m curious about how your uncle and the others will respond.”

Tang Xiao snorted coldly and lay flat on her back.

“You’re interested in my mother’s identity and the cause of her death, aren’t you?”

Wu Jie paused for a moment, then apologetically said, “If it’s inconvenient for you, let’s drop it.”

“There’s nothing inconvenient about it.

She was born into the Xu Family, excelled both in character and learning from a young age, and was independent and stubborn.”

“She and my dad were in a love marriage, and they were open-minded in their parenting, so I inherited my father’s temper and my mother’s stubbornness.”

“She made significant contributions to the group, especially with her successful investments in the stock market and real estate, which brought in a lot of money.”

“But back then, the Xu Family was in a bad state, often raided, and even secretly attacked by the Mu Family and Fang Family, barely holding on.”

“After much persuasion from the family, my mother, unable to bear it, started trading futures and foreign exchange for them to make money and get through the hard times.”

At this point, the usually strong Tang Xiao couldn’t help but shed two lines of hot tears.

“So, my mother-in-law was dragged down into this mess?” Wu Jie asked doubtfully.

“My mom was human, not a god.

With the whole Xu Family rallying and praising her, and after truly making a fortune, she got a taste for it and just established a private equity fund, promising high returns that attracted many investors!”

“My dad trusted her deeply and even actively helped persuade my grandfather and other uncles to invest, and he used the influence of the Tang Family to attract many investors.”

Wu Jie said in shock, “That private equity fund must have had a terrifying scale, right?”

“At its peak, it managed hundreds of billions and enjoyed a period of glory,” Tang Xiao said, shaking her head with a sigh.

“But you can guard against external threats all day and night; it’s the thief within that’s hardest to defend against, and then came the financial crisis, and my mom’s mentality collapsed.”

“After her mental health issues arose, she couldn’t handle trading anymore, and my grandfather ordered the operation to be shut down and liquidated.

Even with the significant internal losses, the Tang Family always kept their word, and my dad used the group’s funds and stocks to fulfill the promises.”

“Damn!” Wu Jie cursed, “Then your uncles just reaped the benefits without any effort?”

“The key point is they never admitted it!”

Grinding her teeth with anger, Tang Xiao cursed,

“What’s even more despicable is that they knew my mom was already suffering from depression, yet they made her take drugs, and it quickly spiraled out of control.

After the fact, they claimed she asked for them herself.”

“My mom was completely lost, and my dad couldn’t bear to send her to the hospital to suffer, so he and my grandmother took turns taking care of her.

But one day, during an episode, she accidentally pushed my grandmother down the stairs, and she fell to the living room and died on the spot!”

“This incident deeply hurt the Tang Family People, so my dad had no choice but to send her to the hospital for treatment.

But that night, she committed suicide, and before dying, she wrote a blood letter apologizing, hoping the Tang Family wouldn’t blame the Xu Family.”

“From that day on, the Tang Family and the Xu Family cut off all contact and stopped involving themselves in the struggle for power among Tianyuan’s three major families underground, only doing legitimate businesses and earning honest profits.”

“So, if you’re thinking of using the Tang Family name to engage in illegitimate business, that’s clearly not allowed in my father’s will and property bequeathal agreement.”

“Don’t worry,” Wu Jie scoffed, “even if I’m so poor I have to beg, I won’t succumb to earning money that goes against my conscience.”

“But would you kill a bad person for money?” Tang Xiao suddenly asked.
