Urban Hidden Dragon

Chapter 292 Su's Predicament
Zhao Xiaoman glanced around in private, and then said pitifully, "Grandma, I'm hungry, how long do we have to wait?"

"Why, the little greedy cat can't wait?"

Mother Zhao gave a doting smile, and then said, "Go find a pair of chopsticks, and pick up something to eat by yourself."

"Really!"

Zhao Xiaoman jumped up and down, raising his hand to catch crabs.

As a result, as soon as his hand was halfway out, he was slapped hard.

The sister-in-law scolded: "Look at you. You are a middle school student. What do you look like? This is for your uncle and aunt. What's the matter if you eat it casually?"

Xiaoman felt wronged for a while, "But grandma gave in..."

The sister-in-law said mercilessly, "That won't work either. When Ms. Su comes later, can it be said that our family has no tutor? Go in and do your homework, and go to instant noodles when you're hungry. Without me, you can't come out!"

No matter what, Xiaoman is still a child, and his eyes turned red after being scolded by his mother.

The sister-in-law also felt distressed when she saw it, but she was simply unhappy, and she couldn't face it face-to-face, so she could only complain with words.

The eldest brother heard the movement outside, and hurried in to try to persuade the fight, "Oh, it's fine, why are you arguing with Xiaoman again?"

While talking, he looked at his son, picked up the chicken leg from the stove and handed it over, "Take it in and eat it, and do your homework after eating, or I won't let you out when your sister-in-law comes over later!"

Xiaoman burst into laughter, without looking at her mother, and ran in bouncingly.

The eldest brother couldn't help muttering, "You're serious, Miss Su will come soon, you'll scold the child and cry, what will it look like later? You won't make Miss Su laugh at that time!"

The sister-in-law didn't dare to get angry with Zhao's mother, but she didn't have so many scruples about her elder brother.

Hearing what the eldest brother said, he came up angrily, and threw the kitchen knife in his hand, making a "clang" sound when it fell.

"Miss Su, Miss Su, open your mouth and shut up, you are Miss Su! Oh, she is a guest when she comes, so I should be your Zhao family's servant girl?"

The eldest brother blushed from being choked, and secretly glanced at his mother. Seeing that the mother was silent, he muttered softly, "Look at you, what are you talking about?"

The sister-in-law couldn't argue, "What are you talking about? I left work more than an hour early, shopping for vegetables, cooking, and working so hard that I didn't even drink my saliva. Has anyone asked me?"

The elder brother froze in place, really not knowing how to answer.

He could only tug on sister-in-law's sleeve, signaling that she had something to say back.

The sister-in-law shook off her brother's hand, "Don't drag me!"

Mother Zhao answered, "Boss daughter-in-law, do you have a problem with me?"

The sister-in-law turned her head, "Mom, I didn't mean that."

After softening her tone, she continued, "Miss Su came to our house for the first time, she should entertain her, and I'm not unreasonable, but look, what time is it? It's almost eight o'clock, and there's no one around now. See, the child is still hungry."

The more she talked, the more aggrieved she became, "Isn't it too much to let our big family wait here when we know we're moving today?"

Zhao's mother explained: "Just now Xiaodong called and said that he is a bit busy at work, let's eat first. How about this, you and the child eat first, and I will wait with the boss for a while."

The sister-in-law held back, "Mom, forget it, then I will wait a little longer."

My mother has said so much, what else can she say?
But mother Zhao continued: "Boss, daughter-in-law, I know that you have suffered a lot of grievances when you came to our Zhao family. But these years, I haven't treated you badly, have I? Last time my second uncle came to ask for a house, I promised to give it to him , it’s also Xiaodong’s side, who didn’t let you suffer at all.”

The sister-in-law froze. Although the mother-in-law usually didn't let her interfere in the family's major affairs, she had nothing to say, although she was partial to Zhao Dong.

But she never treated her daughter-in-law harshly.

Now that her mother said this, her cheeks turned red, and the anger just now disappeared.

"Mom, why are you talking about this? You know me too. I don't have a heart. I just talked quickly."

The eldest brother also apologized, "That's right, Mom, you don't know her yet, she's not evil, she just can't speak, so don't bother with her."

Mother Zhao signaled to stop, and began to explain.

"I said this for no other purpose, but Miss Su is different from us. This child has never suffered. I guess her family may not support her when she comes to live with us."

"Our Xiaodong is not bad in my opinion, but from the perspective of the world, being with Ms. Su is still a bit high."

"I don't know why Ms. Su fell in love with Xiaodong, but can her family fall in love with Xiaodong? Miss you?"

"Although Xiaodong didn't complain to me, you all know this kid's personality. He smashed his teeth and swallowed in his stomach. He definitely doesn't want us to worry."

"But I can see that he is under a lot of pressure in the Su family. Let's not say what we can do to help, but treat Miss Su well and reassure her family. Isn't that right?"

"Let's treat Ms. Su better here, and the Su family will not be too hard on Xiaodong in the future. You all understand this truth, right?"

The sister-in-law held her mother-in-law's hand, "Mom, don't tell me, I understand the truth..."

Mother Zhao warned, "Son, the boss has not lived up to expectations. He didn't let you live a good life. He has wronged you all these years. Don't worry, you are good. Mom will remember in her heart that she will definitely not treat you badly in the future!"

"Mom, you're being serious."

"They're both daughters-in-law, and Mom doesn't say who to help. You are a few years older than her. Even if there are conflicts in the future, for Mom's sake, let her do it."

The sister-in-law nodded silently, even if she was still a little unhappy, she couldn't show it at all right now.

……

On the other side, go back to Su's car.

Sophie was a little tired, and she was really busy today.

Ten years ago, under the leadership of his father, the Spring Department Store under the Su family was the only one in Tianzhou, with few competitors, and almost occupied nearly half of the city's market share.

However, the bad economic situation in recent years, especially the rise of online shopping, has almost fatally hit physical stores.

Fortunately, Spring Department Store is committed to operating high-end commodities and luxury goods, and is relatively less affected by e-commerce.

But even so, under the joint strangulation of WeChat merchants, overseas purchasing agents, and domestic counterfeit products, the turnover is still plummeting.

It was also this opportunity that a powerful competitor parachuted into Tianzhou.

Although it is not a local company, the other party has strong strength and a deep background. It has just landed in the Tianzhou market, and has acquired several prime locations with a large sum of money.

There were even a few of them that were directly opposite Spring Department Store and set up a ring.

It just so happened that something happened to her father at this time, so that Sophie just entered the Su family and faced such a situation.

The dragons below have no leader, and the top fights for power and profit.

The whole group is in disarray!
