Chapter 227: Chapter 178: Mother is Confused_3
As soon as the older sister-in-law heard this, she seemed to recall something.
"The one selling durians on the street with the last name Chen, when I used to shop there, I think I heard their beautician mention a few times that their boss used to sell durians and was also surnamed Chen. He was very kind to them, oh, I remember now, that boss was called Chen Pingsheng."
She paused, her brows furrowed in question, "The girlfriend's brother you invited over, he isn't also called Chen Pingsheng, is he?"
"Yes, that's right, his name is Chen Pingsheng."
Liu Wenhao said, "When I went to pick him up, he was on the street selling durians. Now that I think about it, when he came with me, he didn't care about that truckload of durians at all, which is definitely not normal."
Liu Wenhao finally started to notice the details.
Upon hearing this, the older sister-in-law was first joyful, but then she became livid, "Oh, my dear brother, I was gone for just this short period, how could you have done something so foolish?"
"What do you mean?" Mrs. Liu glared at her, displeased.
"What else could I mean, you're really senile!"
The older sister-in-law was so anxious she hopped from foot to foot, pacing back and forth in the hall.
"That Chen Qi is definitely no ordinary person. If she really is that person's sister, then our family has lost an enormous opportunity!"
"What do you mean, speak clearly, will you?"
Not only was Mrs. Liu stunned, but even Liu Wenhao beside her was dumbfounded.
He had no idea what his older sister-in-law was talking about.
The older sister-in-law hastily explained, "The owner of Water Cloud Space also has the surname Chen, used to sell durians on the street, and is also called Chen Pingsheng. Could there be such a coincidence in the world? Oh, my dear mother, you must realize now whom you've driven away?"
"Is Water Cloud Space very rich?" Mrs. Liu asked with a frown.
At her age, she hardly made big purchases anymore, mainly because her household was not what it used to be.
She just wore her old jewelry around her neck, barely keeping up appearances.
"Very rich...?"
The more the older sister-in-law heard, the angrier she became, "Oh, my dear mother, hurry up and get rid of that 'maybe.' Just for the staff welfare hotel that Water Cloud Space built, they invested nearly two billion, and they've also opened their own huge beauty academy in Capital City. The rich women of Capital City take pride in shopping at their establishment. Do you think they're wealthy?"
"They're that rich?" Mrs. Liu was stunned.
"It's more than just having money."
The older sister-in-law said, "The Fei Yangyang where we often dine is theirs, the Tengsheng fruits that are spread out all over Capital City belong to them, as well as the Tenghui Department Store near the Second Ring. These are all theirs."
"We can't even get a loan from the bank if we beg, while their family has bank managers knocking on their door every day asking to lend them money. Can you see the difference?"
"This…" Mrs. Liu sunk onto the couch.
It was as if she had lost her vigor all at once, completely unable to react.
"Wenhao, there might still be a chance. She was just chased away by your mother's scolding. Hurry up, take gifts with me, your sister-in-law, and we will go apologize to them."
"Is that necessary?" Liu Wenhao felt it was very shameful.
The older sister-in-law slapped him across the face, "Put away that pitiful pride of yours. Do you think our family is still the same as before? The company has already been mortgaged, and even this house of ours has long been mortgaged for loans. If we can't get over this hump, you won't even be able to drive a Santana."
"Do you think they are ordinary people? Let me tell you, their family doesn't owe a single cent in bank loans. Just their real estate in Capital City is worth tens of billions, and they own an entertainment company valued at nearly a hundred billion."
"The Old Liu's Family is nothing compared to them. You don't even have the stature to carry their shoes. Who do you think you are? If she really is that man's sister, her own worth would already surpass a billion. You would be enormously lucky to have found her, as if your ancestral tomb had sprouted green smoke and you've accumulated a lifetime of virtue."
"Who cares about face!"
The older sister-in-law was still very astute; she had no desire to go back to her former impoverished life.
Still, Mrs. Liu, grabbing her arm, asked, "Qin ah, is their family really that wealthy?"
"Would I lie to you?"
The older sister-in-law was frustrated, "Mom, if Wenhao can't win her back, our family's downfall will really be on your hands." Continue your saga on m|v-l'e m,p| y- r
"Is it that serious?"
Mrs. Liu became frantic too, quickly having her younger son prepare gifts to make an apology visit.
If they couldn't win her back, they were truly finished.
Only when they were about to leave the house did they realize they didn't know where she lived.
They first needed to find out.
