Rebirth of the Evil Mother-In-Law

Chapter 284 – Her coming here today was a big mistake. (1)

She regretted coming over today now. She only attended this event today for her maiden family. It pained her to watch the Su family falling from the top one or two enterprises in the medicinal herb industry to just an ordinary company. She also refused to admit to the fact that her brother was way less competent than Su QinYing.

Ever since Jiang WenYu had returned and slowly started eating away her son’s resources, she eagerly wanted to find more backing for her son. Her maiden family was, of course, top on her list. Her brother hated Song ZeYu equally and, by extension, Jiang WenYu as well. As long as the Su family could regain their old glory, her father-in-law, who was all about gains, would no longer ignore Zhang Bi the way he did now.

Lo and behold, she hadn’t expected to run into Fang JunRong here and, to be antagonized straight to her face.

Fang JunRong laughed to herself when she saw that not even Su QinMei’s foundation could cover up her long face. She, however, put on a caring look. “Aye, alright, I’ll stop talking now. I know you feel awful. It was, after all, pretty embarrassing to have a vicious, hateful, and jealous sister.

“If I were you, even listening to her name will make me feel repulsive. Her name was QinMei, that was an insult to plum blossom. She was definitely not noble and unsullied like plum blossoms. She should have just changed her name to Su Flies.”

ARRRGGHHH. This wench! Wasn’t she normally pretty quiet? What was up with her today?! How dare she compared her to flies!

Su QinMei was going berserk and her little delicate body shook from anger. One of these days, she would make sure to walk all over this wench.

She tried the best she could to picture the day that Fang JunRong had fallen out of favor. She didn’t want to lose control of her temper and gave herself away. She had been well pampered the last few years and had rarely been this angry.

“Eh? You two seem close with each other.”

Chu Kuo walked over and was quite surprised when he saw Fang JunRong chatting with Su QinYing, especially when he saw the smile on Fang JunRong. Su QinYing had her back to him so he wasn’t able to see how she looked. After all, Fang JunRong and the Zhang family were competitors and had some beef between them in the past. In particular, the Zhang family had worked with Li WangJin in the past in an effort to steal her formulas. The Zhang family were quick placed the blame elsewhere as though they had nothing to do with that but everyone in the industry knew the truth and had been gossiping about them and keeping a distance from them since. After all, each family had their own formulas that had been passed down for generations and nobody would want to have thieves waiting to poached them nearby.

Fang JunRong chuckles. “Oh, I was a little talkative because I was reminded of Madam Su’s late sister.”

Chu Zuo tried to recall what Su QinMei, Song ZeYu’s sister, was like and all he could think of was that she was a fragile girl who was always blue. He couldn’t remember much of her. She was, after all, not one who would leave a lasting impression.

Looking at Su QinYing who hadn’t been showing her face a lot in recent years, he was sad for her marrying into the Zhang family. He could understand what had gone through Old Mr. Su’s mind. He had wanted his eldest daughter to take over the family business but he also had a son. Many old-school people in the company still believed that only sons should take over family businesses. In addition, as far as ambitious stockholders are concerned, a playboy that they could control was much better than a smart and competent heir. That was the main reason that Old Mr. Su married his daughter into the Zhang family. Partly he had wanted the Zhang family to be extra help for his eldest daughter.

One could never predict the future. Old Mr. Su, who had always been in good health, passed away suddenly as did Su QinMei. And Su QinYing’s eldest son was kidnapped by trafficker. It was almost like the Su family was cursed and unfortunate events had taken place one after another. No wonder Su QinMei’s personality had changed drastically and had stopped being involved with any of the family business and just remained at home quietly.
