Chapter 840 - Can an Ant Kill an Elephant?

Chapter 840: Can an Ant Kill an Elephant?
Things changed rapidly in business. One moment, one was at the pinnacle of the pyramid; the next moment, the fall on the way down hurt more than anything.
People were likely to reach out when one was prospering as they were quick to take advantage of one when one was down in the dumps. Not many would reach out to offer help.

How did this happen…?
Song Wan hugged Chu Xiang, unwilling to leave the home that she had stayed in for a long time. She had not slept well in a few days and nights.
Chu Jiang patted her shoulder comfortingly.
Let Ah Lui deal with it. Worst case scenario, we won’t die without Chu Enterprise.

However, how could Song Wan accept living the commoner’s life when she had gotten used to a life of luxury and a big house?

At the end of the day, you won’t starve.
Chu Jiang was more optimistic.
Half of his life had gone by, and he had lost his granddaughter. Chu Enterprise did not matter to him anymore. Having enough to get by was good enough for him. Bankruptcy was the worst possible case, but even so, they would not be left penniless.
Song Wan cried as she hugged Chu Xiang. She was overwhelmed by sadness as she thought of the house that she used to live in. Chu Xiang did not kick up a fuss either, perhaps because she knew that something had happened at home and that she would not get to wear those pretty clothes again.
When she returned, she hid her favorite clothes and toys, not allowing anyone to touch them.
At this time, Xia Ruoxin was standing before a window with a doll in her arms. The breeze from the window ruffled her hair.

Rainy, did you see that? Mommy has taken some revenge for you. Mommy will take away whatever that grandma of yours cares about. Her home, her money, everything that she had in the past, and her son…

She hugged the doll as if it was her daughter. She would never forget how she hugged Rainy the way she did the doll when Rainy was first born. However, Rainy was no longer here.

She would never forget who lost her daughter and killed her.
Turning around, she placed the doll back into the blanket, not wanting it to be stained or tainted by the dust in the room.
She then left the place. This was no longer a home. To her, this place was both her pain and her redemption.
She needed memories like these to remind herself that she was still alive.
Passing by a newspaper stand, she bought a financial magazine and browsed through it on a bench by the stand.

Chu Enterprise faces major downsizing, Chu Lui on the brink of losing CEO position


Chu Enterprise will face disbanding before acquisition


Chu Lui spends a fortune on a hostess

Line after line. Chu Lui was infamous now. He was famous before but not as much as he was now.
How about he quit his CEO job and become an actor? He looked good enough, and people will be more than willing to pay and spend time with him.

She thought to herself as she smiled. However, there was a drop of water on the back of her hand.

Why, is it raining?
She looked up. It was not raining. Even though the skies were gray, it was not raining. She looked down again, and there was another water droplet on her hand.
It really was raining. She smiled to herself, but she felt like she was about to cry.
Tossing the magazine on the bench, she stood up to leave… not for home though.
There Song Wan was, walking right to that place.
Song Wan dared not show up again since the last time the former came to her. Wherever Xia Ruoxin was, Song Wan avoided it at all costs. Just like now. Song Wan paused when she saw her. She instinctively wanted to take a different route, but she only had two paths to take. The first was to walk back where she came from. The second was to walk straight.

What a coincidence, Auntie Song.

Xia Ruoxin walked over to Song Wan, but the latter stepped back.

What are you trying to do?
She clutched her bag as if Xia Ruoxin were an evil spirit here for revenge.

I’m not trying to do anything?
Xia Ruoxin said with an innocent look on her face.
I’m just saying how to you, Auntie Song. Oh, no, I should call you mom. Didn’t your son tell you? We’ve registered our marriage.
As she spoke, she turned the ring on her ring finger.

Who’s your mother? I will never acknowledge you as my daughter-in-law.
Song Wan turned with an awful expression on her face. It was urgent, but from anger, too.
Ah Lui really married this woman. No, I won’t agree to this. Nothing good has happened since Ah Lui met her. Even his company has faced major problems.

Xia Ruoxin was not upset since she did not think it was worth to get mad here. Besides, what Song Wan thought was of no concern to her. Song Wan was Chu Lui’s mother, not the person she was marrying.

Auntie, is the small house uncomfortable?

Xia Ruoxin’s voice rang clearly behind Song Wan.

Did you do it?’ Song Wan suddenly turned, her gaze fixed on Xia Ruoxin.

Me?
She curled her lips.
Auntie, aren’t you thinking too highly of me? I’m just a small ant; how can I take down an elephant?

Song Wan opened her mouth but stormed off in the end.
Xia Ruoxin’s smile disappeared at this point.

Even an ant is capable of killing an elephant.

As long as it meant to…
Anyone could resort to tricks.
She would wait for Chu Lui to lose everything and then Song Wan. She wanted the women to live like Li Manni’s mother, without money or status. Resigned to a life of poverty.
Yes, she would ruin Song Wan, but she could only do that by ruining Chu Lui.
He was her pride and joy. Since Song Wan destroyed her daughter, then she would ruin her son.
Opening the door, she walked in and kicked off the heels before she sat on the couch.

You’re back.
Chu Lui came out of the kitchen. Out of the ordinary, he was not dressed in a suit but in casual wear. It looked good on him.

I cooked some noodles; it’ll be ready soon.
He smiled warmly.
