Chapter 1289: Chapter 1289: Suggestion
"Bai Xiao, I’m begging you to help me."
Liu Hong pondered for a long time and could only turn to Bai Xiao for help.
She’s not a fool.
Years of being a housewife have worn down her edges and sharpened her! But it doesn’t mean she’s stupid.
Now she’s alone fighting Li Shuanzhu, who controls all the family assets, and the company has already been ruined by Li Shuanzhu.
What remains now is the storefront.
The wholesale storefront still brings in hundreds of thousands a year.
Over the years of doing business, everyone knows Li Shuanzhu.
Who knows Liu Hong?
To reclaim everything, she needs someone to help her.
Bai Xiao nodded, not afraid of her seeking help, just worried she’s not enlightened herself.
First, you need to grow strong inside. It’s already hard for girls, if you don’t stand up on your own, no one can really help you.
"What are you planning to do now?"
She can help.
And she’s willing to help.
"I want to first talk to the kids. If they still insist it’s my fault, then let fate decide. I won’t shirk my responsibility, but what’s not mine, no one should expect me to give an extra penny."
Liu Hong had figured it out, she really brought this upon herself.
If she doesn’t stand up, how can she expect others to respect her?
"I think you should reclaim the company first, then talk. If your kids don’t side with you, they might be the first to leak information; if that scumbag is prepared, moves assets, even if you take it back, it won’t be everything.
If you act, do it ruthlessly! Let them taste what life is like without Liu Hong."
Bai Xiao proposed.
Liu Hong married what her parents thought was an honest man, yet he could do such things. Not to mention the years he lived in the city and did business; he’s no fool.
Bai Xiao’s advice is naturally to fight with confidence.
Liu Hong wiped her tears, crying didn’t solve problems, "I understand, Bai Xiao, thank you. I really didn’t expect you to help me. I’ve lived in my own world all these years, wanting wholeheartedly to be a good wife and mother, even forsaking friends.
But I didn’t expect you’d still be the same, not ignoring me because of my distance. I’m really grateful, probably you’re the only one willing to give me a hand at this time.
I wouldn’t want to find He Weng; he’d surely help me, He Weng is a good man, but I don’t want him to see me in such a sorry state.
Besides you, probably no one else would help me."
Liu Hong suddenly realized she was living in isolation all these years.
Perhaps Li Shuanzhu put too much pressure on her, leaving her feeling ashamed and afraid to face the outside world.
Now suddenly, it’s like a door opened.
She saw the scenery outside.
Liu Hong knew she was terribly mistaken.
She didn’t keep herself in check, but that’s not a reason for Li Shuanzhu to despise her through betrayal, divorce is okay, but to spend her money while disdaining her, that’s terrible.
Especially the three kids.
They treat her with such coldness as if she’s an enemy.
She serves them good food and drinks every day, yet still gets it wrong.
Even if she looks bad in everyone’s eyes, they shouldn’t despise her, children shouldn’t dislike their mother, but she raised a bunch of ungrateful wolves, who’s to blame?
If not herself.
Willingly letting others tread on her.
Can’t blame others for taking it for granted.
It’s too taken for granted that everyone overlooks that everything now is Liu Hong’s, without Liu Hong, what would they have?
Bai Xiao smiled, "Don’t say it like that, you’re a woman, and so am I, with family and kids, many women change. Honestly, women’s sense of responsibility may be greater than men’s.
You’re shackled by yourself, once you step out everything will be better.
I hope my friend is still that daring Liu Hong, the one who can build a career on her own, it’s never too late to be independent, as long as you realize it, I believe Li Shuanzhu is nothing.
I support you."
She hadn’t anticipated encountering so many issues during her recent trip to the Capital City.
Those close to her came, as Bai Song is probably the last in the Bai Family to have a wedding, many connections were present, those she helped over the years — her partners, friends, family, relatives, business associates, they all came.
The Bai Family, Yu Family, An Family, it’s a complex network.
Perhaps it’s destiny.
Bai Xiao thought maybe she is Liu Hong’s destined helper.
In a past life, Liu Hong met a tragic end, gone too soon.
This time she made the Li Family’s fate different, Liu Hong escaped death, took a different path, if it wasn’t for Bai Song’s wedding! Who knows what would’ve happened to Liu Hong’s situation now.
Considering Li Shuanzhu and his family’s performance, Liu Hong might end up being thrown out.
Liu Hong held Bai Xiao’s hand, her rough hands were slightly nervous, worrying Bai Xiao might despise her.
Bai Xiao returned the grip, feeling discomfort.
"I’m going back to pack, I want to return early, to handle many things."
Once Liu Hong made up her mind, she wouldn’t retreat.
"Won’t the kids ask?"
Bai Xiao had her suspicions, but still voiced the concern.
It’s evident those kids treat Liu Hong coldly.
"No! They don’t live with me, even at home I cook and do laundry for them, after meals they go to their own rooms, not even talking to me, no one cares what I do." Liu Hong’s heart was bitter.
It’s her mistake.
The children perhaps shouldn’t be educated this way; she raised a group who drinks her blood and thinks it’s normal.
"Take advantage when Li Shuanzhu isn’t prepared, if anything arises in the provincial city, you can ask my elder sister for help, she has some connections there, even if you go to court, don’t be afraid, it’s best to call home, let your brothers come up to lend a hand, after all, your two brothers genuinely protect you, with help you won’t fear Li Shuanzhu making trouble."
Bai Xiao couldn’t accompany her to the provincial city.
But if she didn’t tell Liu Hong that, afraid Liu Hong wouldn’t be willing to inform her family.
After all, initially, the family approved of this marriage.
"I... My parents are not in good health, I don’t want them to worry."
Indeed, Liu Hong thought so.
If parents find out, they’d likely panic.
They haven’t been in good health for years, one with a heart condition, the other with high blood pressure, that’s also why she only shares good news, not bad.
"You can keep it from Uncle and Aunt, but don’t hide it from your brothers, they know what’s best. If Li Shuanzhu dare do this, it’s because you haven’t spoken up, always enduring silently, this isn’t healthy; someone must teach him how to behave."
Bai Xiao disapproved of Liu Hong’s secrecy.
Liu Hong nodded, "I understand, don’t worry, Li Shuanzhu and that woman also went to the Capital City to play, I heard they’ll go to a southern city the day after and won’t return soon, when he comes back, he should be surprised!"
Liu Hong gritted her teeth.
