Chapter 2082: We Had Western Cuisine
Mother Wen smiled brightly the moment she saw Ning Shu. With pride coloring her tone, she asked, “How was your dinner with Son-in-law Tang?”
Ning Shu glanced at Mother Wen. She knew that Mother Wen loved bragging and that she would never hear the end of it if she didn’t give her face.
Ning Shu nodded. “We had western cuisine.”
But before we could eat, your Son-in-law Tang ran away.
“Western cuisine is a good choice. It’s very romantic.” Mother Wen immediately smiled.
Ning Shu headed upstairs to her room but encountered Wen Ermei in the corridor. Wen Ermei wore a camisole and was leaning against the wall. She eyed Ning Shu. “Didn’t you go on a date with Brother-in-law? Why do you look like you were in a fight? Could it be that something untoward happened with Brother-in-law?”
The Wen family siblings didn’t get along at all. For them, infighting was normal. They would argue, hurl insults, and take every opportunity to cause difficulties for one another.
Ning Shu smiled faintly. “That’s none of your business.”
Wen Ermei sneered. “Sister, everyone else is responsible for running the family business but your only job is lazing around and pleasing a man. Don’t you feel guilty?”
The children of the Wen family all knew how to manage shopping malls and markets. Each one was responsible for a different area, except for Wen Hanlei. That was because Father Wen didn’t want Wen Halei to worry about the family’s affairs. All she needed to do was wait to marry Tang Yu.
Out of all the Wen family’s children, Wen Hanlei was the most special. However, this special treatment meant that Wen Hanlei had to hold on to Tang Yu tightly.
However, unexpectedly, Tang Yu backed out on their wedding day.
As a result, Wen Hanlei became useless to the Wen family. Since she had no place in the company, Father Wen just married her off to get rid of her.
Could the woman known for being abandoned by Tang Yu still marry into a good family?
Wen Hanlei became essentially worthless.
It was cruel, but true.
“Sister, be careful that you don’t end up with anything in the end.” Wen Ermei rammed Ning Shu’s shoulder, but Ning Shu didn’t budge, so it was Wen Ermei who ended up taking a step back. She raised her chin and left with a cold snort.
Ning Shu opened the door and lay down on her bed.
Although Wen Ermei’s words were unpleasant, it was true that the Wen family managed many shopping malls across its various branches.
Father Wen believed in ‘survival of the fittest’ and raised his children accordingly. He gave them each a different area to manage and let them compete with each other. That was why the relationship between the siblings was quite…antagonistic.
If the marriage with the Tang family fell through then Wen Hanlei would be worth less than dirt. She would have no competing power and no place in the family.
It was a sad fate to only rely on a man.
Who knew if that man would change his mind in the next second?
Every time Wen Ermei confronted Wen Hanlei, Wen Hanlei just saw it as Wen Ermei being jealous of her.
Ning Shu stared at the ceiling. The marriage between the Tang and Wen families would definitely fail and she didn’t want to be married off to some stranger by Father Wen.
Therefore, her top priority was gaining a foothold in the Wen family’s business. Only by proving her value would she avoid being so easily tossed aside.
At dinner, Ning Shu said to Father Wen who was sitting at the head of the table, “Father, I want to learn how to manage a market.”
The moment she said that, the three older brothers and Wen Ermei all stared at Ning Shu.
Mother Wen had no strengths other than good luck and a lot of children. She had six children with Father Wen. The youngest child was still in junior high school. This ensured that the Wen family would have a successor.
It also meant that Father Wen would often yield to Mother Wen on things, as long as it wasn’t anything too important.
