The ancient war between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in a wealthy family

The early morning sun streamed into the room through the floor-to-ceiling windows, but I couldn't feel its warmth at all.

I almost didn't sleep last night. Mr. Wang's sudden return home was like a huge rock pressing on my heart.

Zhan Yu went to the company early in the morning, saying that he wanted to arrange Mr. Wang's visit in advance. When he left, he kissed me lightly on the forehead, and his deep voice echoed in my ears: "Don't be afraid, I'll take care of everything."

I knew he was trying to comfort me, but I was still feeling very nervous.

Mr. Wang’s reputation in the industry is well-deserved. He is known for his sharp eyesight and no flaw can escape his eyes.

If he comes back this time with the intention of finding fault, all our previous efforts may be wasted.

At ten o'clock, Mr. Wang appeared at the building of Zhan Group on time.

He still had that serious look on his face, and his deep eyes seemed to be able to see through everything.

After a brief greeting, I took him to visit our new project after the transformation.

Along the way, I tried to stay calm and explained every link and every data in detail.

Mr. Wang just listened quietly, occasionally asking some pointed questions, and I responded to them one by one, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

After the visit, Mr. Wang did not comment immediately. He just looked at me meaningfully and said, "Ms. Bai, it seems that you have really put in a lot of effort during this period." I couldn't tell whether his tone was praise or criticism, which made me even more uneasy.

When I returned to the office, I immediately called together the core members of the project team and reviewed Mr. Wang’s reactions and questions one by one.

Everyone was in a low mood. After all, Mr. Wang's recognition was very important to us.

"Mr. Bai," Marketing Manager Li Li said cautiously, "Will Mr. Wang..."

I raised my hand to interrupt her. "Don't speculate. What we need to do now is to do our best and produce the best results to prove ourselves."

Just then, my cell phone rang. It was Zhan Yu calling.

"There is an important dinner tonight. You should get ready and come with me." His tone was calm, but with a hint of unquestionable firmness.

"Dinner?" I asked, a little confused. "What dinner?"

"You'll know when the time comes." Zhan Yu said and hung up the phone.

I held the phone in my hand, feeling a sense of unease rising in my heart...

I'm afraid this dinner is not that simple.

In the evening, I put on the dress that Zhan Yu specially prepared for me, and walked into the banquet hall with his arm around me.

The scene was filled with elegant people, clinking glasses and the atmosphere was very lively.

I saw Mr. Wang at a glance. He was chatting and laughing with several industry leaders.

Seeing us come in, he nodded slightly and motioned us to come over.

"Good evening, Mr. Wang." I greeted politely.

"Ms. Bai, Mr. Zhan, good evening." Mr. Wang's tone was much gentler than during the day, and there was even a hint of a smile on his face. "I visited your project today. It's very good and has great prospects."

I was delighted, it seemed that Mr. Wang approved of our transformation.

"Mr. Wang, you are too kind. This is the result of everyone's joint efforts." I responded modestly.

Mr. Wang smiled, turned to Zhan Yu and said, "Mr. Zhan, you really married a good wife. Miss Bai's ability and courage are admirable."

Zhan Yu held my hand tightly, and his eyes were full of pride when he looked at me.

He said, "I knew you could do it." His words and actions made me feel extremely at ease and happy.

At this moment, a waiter came over with a tray with two glasses of champagne on it.

Zhan Yu took one glass and handed it to me, while he raised the other one himself.

"To celebrate the success of our cooperation." Zhan Yu raised his glass and said.

"The cooperation was successful?" I looked at him with some doubt.

Zhan Yu smiled mysteriously, said nothing, and drank the champagne in his hand.

Mr. Wang also raised his glass, looked at me meaningfully, and said, "Miss Bai." After he said that, he also drank it all.

I had a vague feeling that something unexpected might happen tonight.

At this moment, the door to the banquet hall was suddenly pushed open, and a familiar figure appeared at the door...

"How will you be here?!"

The sweet smell of the champagne had not yet dissipated, but I was frozen in place.

The person standing at the door was actually Yang's competitor. He looked dejected, but there was a glint of unwillingness in his eyes.

"Mr. Yang, long time no see." Zhan Yu's voice broke the silence in the banquet hall, with a hint of imperceptible sarcasm in his tone.

Yang's competitor ignored Zhan Yu, but stared at me and said with gritted teeth: "Ms. Bai, you are so cruel!" I sneered, raised the champagne in my hand, and said contemptuously: "The business world is like a battlefield, and all is fair in war. Mr. Yang, you must understand this truth, right?" His face became even uglier, and in the end, he said nothing and turned to leave the banquet hall.

Mr. Wang looked at the back of Yang's competitor as he left, smiled meaningfully, and said, "Ms. Bai is indeed a woman who is as capable as any man." In the next few days, good news came one after another.

The launch of the new industry went extremely smoothly, and the first order brought in substantial profits.

Those shareholders who had doubted me before now all praise me.

Employees also quickly adapted to the new business model and worked enthusiastically.

The reputation of the Zhan family enterprise in the industry has reached an unprecedented height, and I have become a contributor to the Zhan family.

Zhan Yu hugged me tightly and whispered in my ear, "You did it, you really did it." I leaned in his arms, feeling his warmth, my heart filled with joy and a sense of accomplishment.

Not only have external competitors been resolved, but internal unity has also been unprecedented.

I thought everything was settled and I could enjoy this hard-earned peace.

However, fate always seems to like to play tricks on people.

That day, I accidentally entered the Zhan family's archives room.

Dusty shelves are filled with ancient documents and forgotten photographs.

Some force drew me deeper into the room, as if an invisible hand was guiding my steps.

I picked up a dusty folder, its labels so faded they were barely legible.

Inside, I found a collection of old photographs and letters detailing a history I had never known.

The Zhan family's hidden experience is shrouded in secrecy.

A chill ran down my spine as I read the last letter, a cryptic message that hinted at a dark secret in the Zhan family's past.

My hands holding the document trembled slightly, and an uneasy premonition arose in my heart.

At this time, Zhan Yu walked in. When he saw the documents in my hand, his face turned pale instantly.

"How did you find this?" His voice was low, with a hint of imperceptible fear.

I raised my head, looked at him, and said slowly, "I think we should have a good talk."
