Chapter 235: Do You Dare to Say It?

Zhou Jingyun refusing to comply with the arrangements of the Zhou family would not cause the Zhou family and the Shao family not to cooperate, nor did they have to wait until Zhou Jingyun and Shao Ying got married before cooperating. The marriage between Zhou Jingyun and Shao Ying was the most important part of the alliance between the two families. It was one of the guarantees for long-term alliance and cooperation, but it was not the only one! To put it bluntly, a marriage alliance was a stronger bond of interest. From this point of view, there was no need to even consider how the relationship between Zhou Jingyun and Shao Ying was after their marriage.
It was difficult to be happy in a marriage alliance between large families. It was already very good to be able to live in harmony and treat each other politely and respectfully. Zhou Anguo and his wife were a marriage alliance between families, a bond of an alliance. The relationship between Zhou Anguo and his wife was very good. Although he also had a lover behind her back, he was already considered a very good man. After many children of large families got married through an arranged marriage and a child was born, the husband and wife would go their separate ways. They could play however they wanted and fool around with whomever they wanted. On the surface, they could show their affection in public and act like a model couple. However, in private, they did not care about each other. Each had their own lover, and they were all playing to their heart’s content!
Therefore, the relationship between a married couple did not have much to do with whether the alliance was strong or not. What mattered was the common assets of the couple under the legal framework, as well as the children they gave birth to! This was also the reason why the Zhou family insisted on forcing Zhou Jingyun to marry Shao Ying. They knew that Zhou Jingyun was against it. They knew that even if Zhou Jingyun married Shao Ying, he would not have any feelings for Shao Ying. However, they did not care, this was because feelings were not important! What was important was that when Zhou Jingyun and Shao Ying became a legal couple, the two big families would transfer part of their family assets to their names. Moreover, they would work together to make these assets bigger and stronger. Part of the assets belonged to both husband and wife and it also belonged to both families. This was the most solid bond of interest! Apart from that, the child they would have would belong to both families as well!
As long as they gave birth to a child with the bloodline of both families, this child would grow up to become the main person in charge of the family in the future. The child would become the common interest between the two families. On the other hand, it was also a guarantee that the two families would not easily break up! For example, the current Zhou Mingfei and Zhou Jingyun! Zhou Jingyun’s paternal grandfather was the old master of the Zhou family, and their maternal grandfather was the old master of the Wang family. Therefore, the Wang family exerted pressure on Zhou Jingyun’s arranged marriage, putting pressure on Zhou Jingyun’s mother, Wang Meizhi. As a result, his mother, who had always been protecting Zhou Jingyun, was now forcing him! As long as Zhou Jingyun married Shao Ying and a child was born between the two, it would be of great significance to the Shao family, the Zhou family, and the Wang family! Whether it was benefits or blood ties, they would all be linked together.
“Uncle, why are you so agitated?” Jiang Tong looked indifferently at Zhou Anguo, who had stood up to question her. She smiled lightly and said, “You should understand what I want to do.”
“You dare to touch Shao Ying?!” Zhou Anguo questioned with a dark face. He did not think that Jiang Tong had the ability to directly touch Shao Ying. However, once what Jiang Tong had just said was exposed, it was very likely that it would trigger a chaotic war between several large families! The Zhou family and the Shao family had already formed an alliance. If something happened to the Shao family, the Zhou family would not be able to stay out of it. Other families might also end up jumping into this to try and profit from it.
“There’s no wall in this world that doesn’t let the wind out. Moreover, with Shao Ying’s character, as long as someone provokes her or tries to trick her in private, she might admit it herself.” Jiang Tong still maintained a calm smile. She continued, “Even if I don’t do this, it’s still a ticking time bomb. Who knows, it might suddenly explode one day. Uncle, are you able to touch Li Muyu? Are you going to deal with Li Muyu? Do you dare to tell the Shao family that you know about this?”
Zhou Anguo immediately felt uncomfortable. That was because he really could not say it. It was not that he did not dare to say, but that he could not say it. There was really something wrong with Shao Ying’s personality. If Zhou Anguo had touched Li Muyu without informing them, he was not sure how Shao Ying would react. However, if he were to tell Shao Ying and the Shao family that he knew that Shao Ying had killed Dong Yuan back then, so he wanted them to do this and that… Then he would have a big piece of evidence against the Shao family, a piece of evidence that could pose a huge threat to the Shao family. Then, how would they discuss the distribution of benefits between the two sides in the future? There would be inequality between the two sides. In the long run, problems would arise in the cooperation and marriage alliance! And the key point of these problems was the rise of the Dong Family! And the momentum of their rise would be very fierce! Compared to the Shao and Zhou families, the Dong family lacked some foundation, but the most important figure of the Dong family was very powerful!
