Chapter 668

“You said that Meng’er terminated it because of a personal grudge. What evidence do you have? Feiying, don’t look at people through colored glasses.” Elder Qu’s face was solemn. He looked at Cao Feiying and said, “I know that you have always held a repulsion towards this girl in your heart. You feel that Meng’er has taken a fancy to our family’s property. But I’m telling you, don’t think that everyone is clinging onto our family. To tell you the truth, our family is simply not up to par in Meng’er’s eyes. Do you think that Meng’er wants to return to the Qu family? Hmph, in reality, it’s us who shamelessly want to acknowledge Meng’er. You should all know who Meng’er’s backer is. Who knows, our family might still need to rely on Meng’er in the future in order to rise to a higher level.”

As he said this, Elder Qu raised his head and looked at his third daughter-in-law, Cao Feiying, whose eyes could not hide her indignation. He sighed in his heart and felt a little sad, he regretted letting his son choose his own wife back then.

“Feiying, don’t be indignant over that collaboration case. You should know very well in your heart that there is something fishy going on with the offer that Feihong Real Estate handed over to the Dream Group.” Elder Qu was not a person who would scold people without any reason.

He was called Qu Yaotao. Before Cao Feiying and her husband came back, he had already asked his guards to investigate the entire situation.

Cao Feiying did not expect her father-in-law to know about this. Her eyes were wandering but she did not dare to look at her father-in-law again.

Qu Yaotao had been listening to his father and wife’s discussion silently. “Dad, don’t worry. I will handle this matter.”

“Yes, you two handle the matter between yourselves. I don’t want to see such a thing happen in our family again. You have to know that some things have happened and been found out. Our family might not have interfered at all, but our family is still implicated.” Elder Qu looked deeply at Cao Feiying.

This Cao family was really not a good family to be related to.

The current head of the Cao family, Cao Feiying’s brother, Cao Feihu, was a dangerous person. Sooner or later, something would happen to the Cao family in his hands. At that time, he only hoped that the Qu family would not be implicated.

“Dad, I understand. Don’t worry, I will take care of this matter.” How could Qu Yaotao not understand the meaning in his father’s words?

...

“Feiying, if you understand, then go and quit your job.” After coming out from Elder Qu’s place, Qu Yaotao and his wife returned to their own room. He spoke to his wife with a very firm attitude.

“What?” Cao Feiying could not believe what she heard.

“I said, from tomorrow onwards, you don’t have to go to your brother’s company to work. You can be like your third sister-in-law and stay at home. The money I earn is enough for you to spend. Of course, if you are bored at home, you can also go out and open a small company, or I can help you find a job in the government.” Qu Yaotao had this idea long ago. He had always disapproved of letting Cao Feiying go to work at her brother’s company.

His brother-in-law seemed to have had good intentions. He said that he would let Cao Feiying work at his company and even gave her 5% of the shares. However, this 5% of the shares was not easy to take. Behind the scenes, his wife Cao Feiying did not know that their family had cleaned up his brother-in-law’s mess countless times.

“On what basis? I am doing quite well in my brother’s company. On what basis do you want me to give up?”

“On what basis? On the basis that if you continue to stay in your brother’s company, I will always have to help your brother clean up his mess. Do you know how many things I have helped your brother to settle things behind the scenes over the years? And, do you know that your brother has been getting more and more arrogant recently? He is getting more and more outrageous. If he continues like this, our family will be implicated by him. He’s guilty of bribery and tax evasion. If anyone here is found out, they will all have to go in.” After saying that, Qu Yaotao felt a wave of fatigue in his heart.

“That won’t happen. My brother is very cautious in doing things. He won’t be caught red-handed. He...” Cao Feiying shook her head, unwilling to believe Qu Yaotao’s words.

“Why do you think your brother is so good to you? Why do you think your brother would give you 5% of the shares? Do you think your brother dotes on you? Wrong! He just wants to bribe our family to work for him. He thinks that our family’s is short-sighted. We don’t even care about his 5% of the shares. If it was not for you, why would the Qu family settle the matter that he could not settle behind his back?” Qu Yaotao did not even want to speak. “That’s all I have to say. It’s fine if you don’t want to resign. From now on, our family will no longer meddle in your family’s matters.”

After saying that, Qu Yaotao turned around and left.

Leaving Cao Feiying behind, she fell onto the bed and stared blankly in the direction that Qu Yaotao had left.

Chen Meng’er accompanied Madam Qu on a day-long shopping spree. Of course, they had to stop after shopping. Chen Meng’er had to take care of Madam Qu’s body.

Madam Qu had dragged Chen Meng’er out shopping because she wanted to buy clothes for Chen Meng’er. However, the clothes that Chen Meng’er usually wore were all personally designed by her. They were then hand-sewn by a high-level tailor.

Madam Qu only discovered this after walking around once. None of the clothes sold in these malls could compare to the clothes that Chen Meng’er was wearing.

As the two of them walked around, it was finally Chen Meng’er who helped Madam Qu pick out clothes and help her buy clothes.

Chen Meng’er’s eyes could be said to be really sharp. The clothes that she fancied would definitely be the most suitable for Madam Qu.

Madam Qu looked at the bags in Chen Meng’er’s hands. She smiled and said, “Little girl, this is the most time I have spent shopping in the past few years. The only regret I have is that I didn’t buy you a single piece of clothing.”

“There’s nothing to regret. I have so many clothes that I can’t even fit them in my wardrobe. Grandma, when I’m free later, I’ll personally design a few clothes for you and Grandpa.” Chen Meng’er changed the topic, she didn’t want Madam Qu to keep holding onto this.

“Okay. You said it yourself. Don’t forget it.”
