The Evil Mother-in-law: Torment Children, Work Hard, Be Rich!-Chapter 295: Make More Friends, Fewer Enemies

Chapter 295: Chapter 295: Make More Friends, Fewer Enemies

"That second young master is the one who was pestering Miss Xian Xian at Tianxiang Building, right?" Tong Huaqiong said.

Dashi admired Tong Huaqiong’s insight even more.

The old woman guessed accurately.

Liu Yueer mocked, "If you hadn’t played the hero to rescue the beauty, Xian Xian wouldn’t have kept clinging to you, and wouldn’t have come to annoy me. That second young master of Jin Fengxiang, he might be Xian Xian’s old lover, and here you are, not understanding the situation at all just went up to save her. You probably interrupted their relationship, and now they hate you."

Dashi thought Liu Yueer’s mockery made sense.

Tong Huaqiong glanced at Liu Yueer, and Liu Yueer shut her mouth.

Tong Huaqiong asked Dashi, "What do you think about the whole matter?"

Dashi said, "Mother, do you think the second young master of Jin Fengxiang deliberately set up a trap to frame me, just like I did to Feng Chuan back then? As the saying goes, gambling and whoring can ruin a person. We used gambling to win over Manager Feng in the past; could the second young master of Jin Fengxiang want to use the same method on me? I remember your teachings and never dared to go to a casino when I came to the Provincial City; I don’t even dare to pass by. He saw me go to Tianxiang Building to promote our birthday cake and thought I was...what should I say...a libertine, so he and Miss Xian Xian set up this trap for me."

"Of course, it’s just a guess."

Tong Huaqiong nodded in approval.

Dashi’s experience wasn’t in vain; after half a year of doing business, he had matured and could grasp the key issues.

His analysis of the problem was spot on.

Tong Huaqiong said, "Yes, that’s how it is."

Dashi was stunned, he didn’t expect his guess to be true.

"No way, mother, I was just guessing, and I actually guessed right." Dashi said excitedly, then asked, "But how did you know?"

Tong Huaqiong said, "I pondered over it all night last night and figured it out, then I went to Tianxiang Building early in the morning and really pried it out of Mama Mo and Xian Xian."

Dashi was bewildered again; Miss Xian Xian was clearly plotting with the second young master of Jin Fengxiang against her, yet why would she be willing to tell Tong Huaqiong the truth?

What kind of person was this girl, looking all delicate and frail, but she had such a dark heart. Did she see them as mice and herself as a cat, thinking it was fun to toy with them back and forth?

Dashi was fuming.

"In that case, I want to go to Tianxiang Building to get my ten taels of silver back." Dashi stood up angrily, "Not only do I want the silver back, I also want to curse them to their faces."

"Don’t rush."

Tong Huaqiong glanced at Dashi.

"Mother, they’ve already plotted against me, how can I not be anxious." Dashi said this, but stopped in his tracks.

Tong Huaqiong glared; this cheap son of hers really couldn’t keep calm.

Tong Huaqiong said, "What good is getting anxious? I’ve almost handled this matter. I reached a consensus with Mama Mo on a joint offshore business venture, and tonight Miss Xian Xian is arranged to deliver the silver to me by Mama Mo. Mama Mo didn’t intend to plot against us; she’s inclined to whichever side offers better benefits. Since she can cooperate with the second young master of Jin Fengxiang, she can also cooperate with me."

This echoed a sentiment from a certain great person of later generations: make more friends and you will have fewer enemies.

"As for the second young master of Jin Fengxiang, he’s even less worth fearing. Now that we know his plans, we can devise ways to counter them. Before you came to the Provincial City, I always told you to be cautious and not fall into others’ traps; you didn’t take it seriously, and now the scheme has come to you. This isn’t a bad thing; you should learn from it and be mindful in the future, think more and be more observant in everything."

"But you surprised me this time; you didn’t fall for their trick, weren’t dazzled by the world of temptations, and this mother of yours is very relieved."

Dashi sat down.

Although he was still angry about being schemed against, he calmed down after hearing Tong Huaqiong’s words.

Especially the compliment from Tong Huaqiong at the end, which made Dashi quite excited.

It was the first time his mother complimented him in half a year.

"Is this matter just going to end like this?" Dashi said.

He didn’t intend to let go of the second young master of Jin Fengxiang; if he caught hold of his weakness, he wouldn’t let him off easily.

"Whether it’s over depends on Jin Fengxiang’s next move." Tong Huaqiong said.

However, with He Chao around, and already knowing Jin Fengxiang’s plan, Tong Huaqiong wasn’t worried at all.

"These scumbags, the hearts of the people in this Provincial City are really dark, aiming to tear apart our family." Liu Yueer cursed, "Luckily I’m the kind of person who doesn’t lose her mind when things happen; if it were any ordinary person, they’d have been driven to you-die-I-live with Dashi, perhaps even divorce."

Liu Yueer was relieved; this showed that Dashi didn’t have any ulterior motives, everything was just other people’s plotting.

"Now you know I’m not that kind of man with ulterior motives, not to mention Xian Xian, even if a fairy descended to stand before me, I wouldn’t even glance at her. Wife, you can rest assured with a hundred percent confidence, I have never had a divided heart towards you, not before, not now, and not in the future. If you ever think I do, it’s either your wild imagination or someone trying to harm me." Dashi said.

He said no matter how Xian Xian could be attracted to him, a bumpkin from the countryside, he was plotted against.

"Mother, I’m a bit confused. Since Miss Xian Xian came to deliver silver to you, why did she say those things to Dashi in front of me, isn’t that seduction?" Liu Yueer was puzzled.

Tong Huaqiong said, "Because Dashi didn’t take the bait, and she was angered."

Tong Huaqiong didn’t detail to Liu Yueer what behavior pattern Xian Xian was displaying out of concern that her son might become conceited.

However, Liu Yueer understood.

Women understood women’s thoughts.

"It really is just people from the underworld, they won’t let go of any man. So despicable!" Liu Yueer muttered.

Tong Huaqiong didn’t agree with this.

Even though she didn’t like Xian Xian very much.

Tong Huaqiong said to Liu Yueer, "No one enters the world of debauchery by choice, everyone has their own hardships. If you encounter someone like Xian Xian again, I support you in confronting her, but don’t condemn all people from the underworld."

Tong Huaqiong thought of the background information she learned about Mama Mo during the day.

She was a fisherman’s daughter, born beautiful, and met a scholar while sailing, the two fell in love at first sight.

The scholar brought her from her hometown to Ning City, thinking it would be a perfect ending with mutual affection, but unexpectedly, it was the beginning of a tragic fate.

The scholar sold her to an official as a concubine in order to cling to power.

Later, when the official got into trouble, she, as his concubine, was seized into the guild hall and fell into the underworld.

This explained why Mama Mo, who dealt in men’s business, held deep disdain for heartless men, allowing the girls of Tianxiang Building to set traps for men entering Tianxiang Building.

The reason Mama Mo was willing to reveal the dealings of the second young master of Jin Fengxiang to Tong Huaqiong was largely because Tong Huaqiong was a woman.

It wasn’t that Tong Huaqiong had a Holy Mother’s heart; if there weren’t reasons beyond someone’s control, who would enter the underworld? Mama Mo was like this, and Xian Xian surely wasn’t an exception.

She had warned Xian Xian not to harm Liu Yueer, and if Xian Xian continued to stubbornly persist, she wouldn’t mind letting Xian Xian fall even further.
