“Mom, Ming Jing is Ming Jing, The Zhus are The Zhus.”

“I don’t care. This Zhu Mingjing even fooled your sister-in-law. She must not be an ordinary person. Can you play better than her? Don’t let her just wave her finger, and you’ll be led into a trap. My stupid son, be more cautious.” Charles Gao was too lazy to listen and turned to go upstairs.

Behind him, Guo Han continued to nag, “No, I must tell Old Gao to avoid The Zhus’ affairs….”

“Wanwan, go open the door.”

The sound of cooking and talking came from the kitchen together.

Tang Wan came out of the bedroom listlessly and opened the door.

A middle-aged couple was standing outside, wearing worn-out clothes that had been washed almost white. Their faces, weathered from exposure to the elements, were filled with hardship and fatigue. They were carrying a bag of fruit. The woman said with surprise, “It’s Wanwan, right? You’ve grown so much? You’ve become more and more beautiful. I almost didn’t recognize you.” Tang Wan frowned, looking at the couple radiating poverty: “Who are you?”

Tang’s mother peeked out from the kitchen holding a ladle: “Big Brother,

Sister-in-Law, you’re here. Come in, Wanwan, you silly girl. This is your Uncle

Aman and Aunt Aiqin.”

Tang Wan finally remembered – they were her mother’s cousins.

Tang Wan stepped aside, and the couple walked in, looking somewhat at a loss at the clean floor.

Tang Wan scoffed and took out two pairs of slippers from the shoe cabinet:

“Change your shoes.”

As the two took off their shoes, Tang Wan immediately frowned in disgust.

The woman smiled apologetically: “It’s hot in the summer, our feet get uncomfortable. Did we offend you, Wanwan?”

Tang Wan turned around: “It’s fine.”

It wasn’t until dinnertime that Tang Wan found out about the poor relatives who came to ask for help.

“That was mine and your brother’s lifetime savings. We wanted to get a house in the city for our son to find a wife. But before he got married, the house was gone. We had put down the down payment with the money we had saved through years of frugality and hard work. Now the developer has run away, the house is gone, and the down payment can’t be recovered. Those damn capitalists who exploit us ordinary people, aren’t they afraid of retribution?”

The woman started crying as she spoke, and the man wiped away his tears with a broken heart.

Tang’s mother comforted them softly.

Tang Wan suddenly asked, “Where did you buy the house?”

“Tianheng Garden. ”

Tang Wan hooked her lip: “A house from Zhu Group?”

Zhou Aiqin nodded: “Yes, we went to the sales office this morning, but it was closed. There were many people gathered in front of the door, all of whom had bought houses. There were so many victims, and all of them were people who had saved up for a lifetime. We were all cheated and didn’t know what to do.” Tang Wan smiled, “The president of Zhu Group was arrested this morning.” The two people turned even paler, and there was even less hope now.

“Do you know there’s a Ms. Zhu in the Zhu family? She’s very smart and capable, and more than half of the wealthy wives in Jiangzhou are her guests. If you want to solve this problem, find Ms. Zhu. With her skills, she can definitely help you. I am classmates with Ms. Zhu, and since the Zhu Group is in trouble, she, as the young lady of the Zhu family, cannot stand idly by. The two of you are weak and helpless, and the Zhu family won’t take you seriously. But if you join forces with all the victims, chances are Ms. Zhu won’t remain indifferent. I ^Vve heard she’s very kind, and has a reputation like the reincarnation of a bodhisattva. If she sees so many people being deceived by her father, she’d be happy to help.”

The couple looked at each other: “Really?”

“Why would I lie to you? The fact is that Ms. Zhu and I are classmates. As the daughter of the Zhu family, how can she not take responsibility for the troubles that have befallen them? You’re sympathizing with her, but why not pity yourselves? Your life savings to a wealthy young lady like her might be just a meal or a handbag.”

Zhou Aiqin was persuaded, “What you said is true. This is what is owed by her family, and she needs to pay it.”

Tang Wan smiled with satisfaction: “I have a classmate whose relative works in the TV station. I’ll give you his number and you can contact him.”

“Wanwan, thank you so much. If not for you, we wouldn’t know what to do.”

“It’s just because I can’t stand to see the Zhu family bullying people. They’re already so rich yet they still exploit us ordinary people who struggle on the poverty line.”

Having seen off the couple, Tang’s mother looked at Tang Wan: “Wanwan, do you have a problem with Ms. Zhu?”

Tang Wan frowned: “She is the wealthy daughter of the Zhu family, how could I have any problem with her?”

“What you’re doing… isn’t it a bit unfair to Ms. Zhu? You’re putting her on the spot. She’s a high school student facing such a situation….”

“Mom, look at Uncle Aman and the others. They worked hard all their lives and ended up being cheated of everything by the Zhu family. As the young lady of the Zhu family, should Ms. Zhu not take responsibility for this? Her luxurious house and car, the mountains of exotic food she consumes – don’t they all have the blood of the poor on them? This is retribution.”

Tang’s mother sighed.

Public opinion grew more and more intense, and more victims gathered outside Zhu Group Headquarters. Some even went to the gates of The Zhus’ residence, but with so many luxury cars coming and going, they couldn’t be sure which one belonged to The Zhus.

“Ms. Zhu, if you need help, Mr. Shen is more than willing to offer assistance.”

Shen Ke glanced at Shen Zhou behind the desk in the office, and as expected, he refused.

“Thank you, but I don’t need it for now.”

“Ms. Zhu, forgive my bluntness, but public opinion about the Zhu Group is not favorable at the moment, and there seems to be a hidden agenda pushed by hired hands. How do you plan to deal with this issue?”

After a moment, a calm and composed young girl’s voice came from the other side of the phone.

“I’ll wait and see and strike when they’re exhausted..”
