512 Chapter 513 Surprise and Anger
Liu Xiaosheng’s eyes flashed with consternation. He shook his head and smiled. “You really are not an ordinary man. Your vision is as broad as mine. Yes, whether the cooperation between Fengchang and the Third Lady is successful or not, the Zhang family still has no future.
“But Guo Xiang is different. He has helped Miss Mo before, and he has a long history with you. He would be a fool if he doesn’t want to take advantage of this. Therefore, Heng Xiang is destined to have enough room to climb up the ladder, and the Liu family can also rely on this relationship to shorten the distance with Fengchang, and even with the Third Lady. The Liu Corporate’s subtle connection with Heng Xiang and Fengchang will soon make people forget the conflicts between us today, don’t you think so?
“Speaking of which, you probably still don’t know, right? It was me who set up a trap and made Miss Mo’s mother owe a huge amount of gambling debts. Originally, I wanted to use this to increase Miss Mo’s life pressure, so she would have no choice but to borrow money from me. But I didn’t expect that all my hard work ended up helping you. I didn’t expect that you would cooperate with Heng Xiang. But no matter what, whether it was saving Heng Xiang, or helping you and Miss Mo, I have a share of the credits.”
Although he was speaking in a sarcastic tone, I could still hear the bitterness in it. However, I still couldn’t help cursing in my heart. Sure enough, that debt trap was really set by Liu Xiaosheng. This guy looked like a gentleman, but actually, he was so despicable inside.
“In the end, whether it’s Guo Xiang or Xingyu, you still regard them as pawns…”
Liu Xiaosheng was silent for a while, and sighed. “When people have different pursuits and views, their ways of doing things will be different. Guo Xiang can be used as a pawn and he only has himself to blame because he fell in love with my sister. Xingyu can also be used as a pawn and if she wants to blame someone, she can only blame her own fate because she is part of the Liu family
“Chu Nan, I can never become you, just like you will never become me. I think that’s why Miss Mo chose you instead of me. I admire you and feel jealous of you, but I don’t envy you. In fact, I want to give you a piece of adviceif you don’t look out for yourself, you will be eliminated from this society. Nowadays, people like you will suffer sooner or later. Even if you want to be a good person, it is best not to be too selfless.”
“I am not selfless. I just feel that nothing is perfect in this world, but I should try my best not to do anything that will make myself feel ashamed…”
“Not to do anything that will make you feel ashamed?” Liu Xiaosheng laughed loudly. “Wait until you settle all your love debt, and then tell me this. Miss Mo, Cheng Liusu, Shu Tong, and I heard that there is another girl from the Xiao family I don’t believe that you don’t feel ashamed at all.”
I couldn’t help but blush. Because I didn’t have the heart to reject people directly, I did have an ambiguous relationship with more than one woman…
“Deal,” I coughed dryly and brought the topic back, “I will accept the invitation and forget the conflicts in the past. Although I don’t know if I have the ability, I will try my best to convince Min Rou and stop her from putting pressure on the Liu family.”
“Min Rou?” Liu Xiaosheng’s eyes changed. “You are wrong. Your words are very powerful. The Third Lady will definitely give you face, and Min Rou naturally dare not to make you lose face. Since you promised Xingyu not to go after me, Min Rou has already stopped putting pressure on the Liu family.”
“Hm?” I was a little confused. “But before coming here, Mr. Zhang said that Min Rou deliberately exposed what you did to me to everyone publicly. Xingyu also mentioned this to me before as well….”
“It’s not Min Rou.” Liu Xiaosheng said lightly, “If Min Rou is really working for the Third Lady, she doesn’t need to be double-faced at all…”
But why do I think the Third Lady is this kind of double-faced person…
“Who wants the Liu family to fall into this kind of difficult situation the most, and who wants to help us when we are in this kind of situation the most? I don’t think it will be difficult for you to find the answer.”
I suddenly realized something and said in surprise, “You mean…”
“I didn’t say anything, because I don’t have any evidence,” Liu Xiaosheng said with a smile.
I really didn’t like this kind of intriguing lifestyle…
I thought for a while, and finally couldn’t help but ask, “Mr. Liu just said that the Third Lady would definitely give me face. Why do you say that?”
“You still don’t know why the Third Lady wants to work with you?” Liu Xiaosheng’s tone sounded even more surprised than mine.
“Do I know her?”
“Ye It’s not a question of knowing her or not.” Liu Xiaosheng’s tensed body relaxed again, leaning on the head of the bed, he said, “Since you still don’t know about the Third Lady, it’s not appropriate for me to tell you anything. I don’t want to offend that weird woman. It shouldn’t be a secret. Since you don’t know it yet, it proves that she deliberately doesn’t want you to know. Although I don’t know the reason, she must have her reason but I think it’s definitely not a reason that normal people can accept.”
I couldn’t help feeling anxious. “Is her character really that weird?”
“The reason why people used the word ‘weird’ to describe her is that there is no other word that can describe her better. She’s a person who has so much money that she herself doesn’t even know how much she has. But she would spend the entire afternoon arguing loudly with a street vendor who sells candied haws on the street about something that was not worth a single thread of her clothes. Then she would attend a luxury banquet like a noble princess, and be admired by others as if nothing had happened. But if you think that it’s because she is a snobbish woman, then you would be wrong. Many rich and powerful figures wanted to curry favor with her, but they were always ignored by her. So you tell me if such a woman is weird or not?
“I’ve also heard that the Third Lady is extremely prejudiced towards men, especially men who are popular with women. She has never spoken to such a man in her life. There is no way to verify whether this is true or false, but judging from her attitude towards you… I think it was made up by some people. She rarely makes public appearances, and very few people really know her, but I have seen her once and she did ignore me on purpose. Hehe, it made me very embarrassed at that time.”
“Really It sounds like she’s indeed a little weird, but it still wouldn’t make others fear her, right?” I asked.
“Other people are afraid of her because she is moody, or she distinguishes what she likes and dislikes very clearly. In this regard, I think she is somewhat similar to you.” Liu Xiaosheng said enviously, “She likes you, so she gave you the big contract coveted by everyone in Bei Tian City. She dislikes the Long family, so she ignored the death of Long Xiaotian along with the relationship between Mo Yizhi and the Long family, and annexed the Long family without any mercy
“But on the surface, she lent a helping hand when the Long family was in their most difficult time. But those who were neither stupid nor naive knew that she was taking advantage of the situation to acquire the Long Cooperate
“The scary thing about the Third Lady is that she doesn’t care about other people’s opinions and evaluations at all. With her wealth and status, she often does some unexpected things. Sometimes, she’s like a merciful goddess; sometimes, she’s like an unreasonable bitc cough, you know what I mean.”
Bitch? Unexpectedly, the Third Lady would have such an image in the eyes of others…
After hearing Liu Xiaosheng say so much, it was not without any gains. I guessed that this was probably all he could tell me today, so I got up and said, “In this case, Mr. Liu, I’ll leave now. You can take care of yourself.”
Liu Xiaosheng sat up weakly and said, “Mhm, I will let Xingyu pick you up when we are ready.”
I nodded and was about to pull the door to leave, but suddenly Liu Xiaosheng said, “One second…”
Seeing me turning around, he said with hesitation, “Is… Shu Tong, is she okay?”
I didn’t expect that he would suddenly ask me about Shu Tong. But thinking that Shu Tong probably wouldn’t want me to tell him about her situation, I simply nodded without saying.
“She is different from Miss Mo. She is simple and quite naive, so I hope you won’t hurt her. After all, she was the first woman who rejected me Hehe, I really don’t want to lose to you again in this way. If possible, I hope she will dump you as well.”
I was really surprised. Liu Xiaosheng actually cared about Shu Tong and he was worried that I would hurt her.
I couldn’t help but ask, “You really liked her before?”
