Chapter 910: Divide and conquer (2)
" So divide and rule is that what you are trying to do?" Lin Yu asked Su Wan with a tilt of his head. He did not wait for her answer instead he smacked his hand on his thigh and agreed, " Well this could certainly work.
After all the Lai family is so successful because they are quite united but if the branches of their family start fighting among themselves then it will be quite hard for them to maintain the current state of their family."
Su Wan nodded and then agreed with what Lin Yu said, she smiled and then added, " Thats right. And from what I can see, Second Madam Lai is best for this kind of job. She is smart enough to survive in the Lai family till now. I will be surprised if she doesn"t ruin the entire family once she realizes that she has been fooled by her sister till now."
The Lin brothers agreed with Su Wan. Second Madam Lai was indeed a bit too greedy and smart, once she realized that she was the one who was fooled instead of the Old Madam Lai getting fooled, she would not rest in ease.
"Let"s go and take a nap," said Su Wan with a smile. She got up from the chair on which she was sitting and then arched her back before saying in a tired voice, " We will leave the rest of the matters in the hands of Yu Qun and Second Madam Lai. We just need to sit back and count money."
The entire family burst out laughing when they heard Su Wan"s words. Sure enough, their wife was really unique.
While the Lin family was having a joyful time, Second Madam Lai rushed to a shop that was under the name of her husband. She had expected it to be empty and deserted but as soon as she stepped on Main Street she was stunned to see that the shop had many customers and they were buying a bunch of things!
Though her husband was sick, Second Madam Lai knew that he was really smart. Her husband opened three shops, one of the shops sold rice that was exported from other cities and countries. Another shop sold study material and the last shop was one that sold small antiques.
Her late husband hired a few experts to search and bring the antiques from all over the place and according to her sister, this shop was the one that earned the least.
But now that Second Madam Lai was standing in front of the shop that sold antiques, she had to admit that her sister was speaking nothing but nonsense!
What did she mean by this shop earned nothing? There was a bid going on and the price was getting higher and higher until it reached ten thousand taels!
Was this the so-called no business that her sister talked to her about? If this was no business then she would die to get her hands on this shop!
After taking a look at the antique shop, Second Madam Lai took a look at the rice and study material shop and to her surprise, she found out that the two shops were earning a decent sum of money as well! What the h.e.l.l!
These shops were earning more than twenty thousand taels and she was only getting two hundred taels? What kind of justice was this? They have to kidding her!
Second Madam Lai Was furious, she was so angry that she wanted to fight with her elder sister. These shops belonged to her late husband, what right did her elder sister have to take the profits of this shop and then make them her own?
Did she think that she, Second Madam Lai was some sort of soft persimmon?
After she found out the truth, Second Madam Lai was heaving like a bull but she did not say anything. She knew that this was not the time to get into trouble with her sister which was why she controlled her temper and then returned home instead of going to the main branch she headed to her own courtyard where she threw everything that she could find onto the floor causing a mess to appear.
When Lai Tianqin heard the sound of things breaking inside her mother"s room she could not help but rush inside. What made her usually gentle mother so angry?
" Whats the matter mother? Why are you upset like this? Is it because of that woman?" Lai Tianqin asked which caused Second Madam Lai to shake her head as she said, " Close the door and come sit with me there is something that I want to say to you."
Though Lai Tianqin was upset with her mother after finding out the truth of her birth, she still respected her mother as her mother did everything she could to raise her.
Thus, she locked the door and then came to sit next to Second Madam Lai who was sitting on the bed. Once Lai Tianqin sat down, Second Madam Lai told her everything.
By the time she finished speaking, Lai Tianqin was shaking with anger.
" I am going to ask my aunt! How can she treat us like this?" Lai Tianqin snapped. The main branch had gone too far!
" Stop!" Seeing that her daughter was rushing to question her elder sister, Second Madam Lai stopped her and then said, " What do you think you are doing? Do you think that she will admit to anything if you ask her?"
" And we are just a widow and orphaned. Your husband is ambitious but he is a fool," Second Madam Lai said bitterly. " We cannot live outside for the time being." Continue reading at m|v-l"e -ReadNovelFull.com
When Lai Tianqin heard her mother"s words, she pursed her lips in reluctance but she stopped in her stride and asked, " So we are going to let them get away with this?"
" Heh, there is no one who can stomach my money and not cough it out," Second Madam Lai sneered coldly. " You just wait, I will make them cough it all out!"
Her elder sister took her as a fool and took away what belonged to her and her daughter. Since that was the case then she would not hold back either!
