Transmigrated as the Ex-Wife of a Heroic Man - Chapter 1349

Chapter 1349: Chapter 1349: Wishful Calculation

Wang Yinfen hadn’t expected to run into Su Qing today when she came over; originally, her target was the eldest of the Su family, Su Wen. For some reason, despite her many visits over such a long period, she had never encountered Su Wen.

According to her inquiries, Su Wen was more approachable than Su Qing. The staff in the store were more afraid of Su Qing, oddly not fearing the elder sister, Su Wen.

Therefore, Wang Yinfen had set her sights on Su Wen.

As a result, ever since she had set her target as Su Wen, she had never shown up, which infuriated Wang Yinfen to grit her teeth in anger.

It forced her to change her mind and plan to catch Su Qing on site, in a situation with many people around, and use her status as a grandmother to catch Su Qing off guard and force her to show filial piety. This way, she could call the shots in the store as long as she dared to defy, which would be considered unfilial. But just a moment ago, she didn’t know what came over her, the instant she locked eyes with Su Qing, Wang Yinfen instinctively dodged.

And thus she fled.

After the incident, Wang Yinfen felt extremely frustrated as she thought about it.

All the way to the Su family’s store, her face was gloomy, the deep wrinkles looking even more menacing.

“What’s wrong with you?” Liu Juan, who was checking on the workers’ progress, saw the grim expression on Wang Yinfen’s face as she entered and immediately sensed that something was amiss, “What’s wrong? Who made you angry?”

“It’s Su Qing,” Wang Yinfen said through gritted teeth.

Liu Juan nervously glanced around at the workers present and pulled Wang Yinfen into a makeshift break room. Once inside with the door shut, she said, “Don’t talk about it outside, don’t let others know.”

“Why?” Wang Yinfen roared self-righteously: “Why can’t I mention it? Am I supposed to be afraid of her?”

Actually, Liu Juan was indeed a bit scared. She still vividly remembered the grand opening day of Su’s business. So many dignitaries attended personally; any one of them was someone she couldn’t afford to offend. She had always been a schemer since her youth, knowing much more about these important figures than the average person.

Now, competing with the Su family for business and wanting to step over them to a higher position was not something ordinary people had the guts to attempt. Liu Juan knew in her heart, while they verbally looked down on the Su sisters, the reputation that Su Wen had made and the scenes from that day could not be ignored.

Ordinary people don’t cause a magazine to sell out instantly.

To put it plainly, she truly couldn’t afford to provoke her. Despite her calculated efforts to marry Liang Zhengji, a highly placed individual in the Liang family, she knew well that Liang Zhengji didn’t love her. Their years of marriage were nothing but a carefully crafted facade.

If a real crisis arose, Liang Zhengji wouldn’t care about her.

But these very factors also gave her the impulse to make one last gamble. Twenty years ago, she could step over her own sister to marry Liang Zhengji; twenty years later, she could also step over her niece to reach new heights again.

And obtain the real power and wealth she desired.

So, when her daughter assured her it would be a success and they could make big money, she decided to set aside her reservations about those powerful figures backing the Su family. She realized fear was futile; being afraid wouldn’t make her days any easier.

Only success could extricate her from her current, awkward predicament.

And besides, she had Wang Yinfen, a ready-made scapegoat. If anything went wrong, let Wang Yinfen face the brunt.

“It’s not that we fear them; we need to stay calm and not act impulsively,” Liu Juan spoke soothingly while serving Wang Yinfen tea and water, showing a level of filial piety and attentiveness that hadn’t been seen in many years.
