The Flourishing Era of Female Merchants

Liu Zhan divorcing his wife was expected, but when the crowd heard Liu Zhan say those words, they felt not only that he was shameless, but also that they were excited to see a good show.

Ha! Divorcing one's wife on the day of their marriage—besides the Liu family, I doubt anyone would do such a thing!

An Mi watched this scene, her coldness growing stronger. She had always known Liu Zhan's indifference and ruthlessness, and now she felt even more ironic. Her gaze swept over the expressions of the guests present. Although no one showed any contempt for Liu Zhan's actions, An Mi knew that the Liu family's reputation would eventually be affected. Did Liu Zhan think that just because the Liu family was the richest, he could disregard the opinions of these people?

Hmph, he personally sowed the seeds of future trouble for the Liu family!

Thinking of this, Anmi's lips curled up slightly. Wasn't this exactly what she wanted to see?

Rather than destroying her to destroy the Liu family, it's better to guide the Liu family to destroy themselves.

And An Xinhe... wasn't she longing to become the young mistress of the Liu family? But just as she got her wish, she fell into hell the next moment. Recalling An Xinhe's tormenting face and the cruelty of the mother and her two daughters, An Mi's eyes were filled with coldness.

She admitted that she had used An Xinhe, but in this new life, An Mi had always believed in not offending others unless they offended her. Since An Xinhe harbored ill intentions towards her, how could she let go of such a useful pawn?

An Xinhe probably never imagined that she would have such a day!

Is that all? An Mi tightened her grip on the teacup. The mother and her two daughters had insidiously orchestrated that earlier incident, trying to get that Fu Lao Liu to violate her body. But simply watching her being divorced couldn't quell the hatred in her heart.

She showed no mercy to those who tried to harm her.

As if thinking of something, An Mi's eyes dimmed even more, while An Xinhe, holding the letter of divorce in her hand, was as if struck by lightning, her face drained of all color.

Has nothing to do with the Liu family? No, An Xinhe is the young mistress of the Liu family, how could she have nothing to do with the Liu family?

“Husband…” An Xinhe suddenly stepped forward and grabbed the hem of Liu Zhan’s robe. Liu Zhan frowned, but kicked her away in disgust, kicking her hard in the chest.

An Xinhe cried out in alarm, wincing in pain. The next instant, a mouthful of blood spurted from her mouth, a horrifying sight.

"Liu Zhan, you've bullied the An family, you..." Yu Fangfei's chest heaved with rage. How could he treat her daughter like this?!

However, before she could finish speaking, a voice abruptly interrupted her...

"You think we've bullied the An family? So what if we've bullied the An family? It was your An family who committed marriage fraud first, so my Liu family is just retaliating by bullying the An family!"

It was Madam Liu who spoke. She was also seething with anger. She couldn't understand why, on the day of the embroidery appreciation event, the embroidery they saw was clearly An Xinhe's work, yet An Xinhe was not the inheritor of that embroidery technique. She was determined to find out what was going on. However, for now, the Liu family could only hold on to the fact that An Xinhe had deceived them into marriage.

“You…” An Yuefeng’s face turned bright red.

Madam Liu merely glanced coldly at An Yuefeng and declared loudly, "From this day forward, my Liu family and your An family will have no further relationship. Wherever your An family is, my Liu family will not be."

These words caused an uproar in the room. This... Madam Liu's words meant that she was breaking ties with the An family completely!

An Yuefeng hadn't expected things to turn out this way. Although the An family was considered a prominent family in Rongjin City, they were still somewhat inferior to the Liu family, the richest family in the city. Hearing Madam Liu's words, he felt a tremor in his heart. He had previously thought that if the An family could form a marriage alliance with the Liu family, it would be of great benefit to the An family in the future. Who would have thought... the marriage alliance wouldn't happen, and instead, they would become enemies with the Liu family.

In the future, who knows what other ways the Liu family will suppress the An family in business!

An Yuefeng was furious. He knew that breaking with the Liu family would inevitably affect his An family, but... in front of so many people, was he supposed to turn around and fawn over them?

In that case, I'm afraid no one present would respect him!

With a determined look, An Yuefeng gritted his teeth and declared, "The An family and your Liu family are sworn enemies!"

Liu Zhan chuckled, "Fine, I, Liu Zhan, will wait and see how you decide to become irreconcilable enemies with the Liu family!"

"You..." That disdainful laugh stung An Yuefeng's eyes, and the anger in his chest burned even more fiercely. Seeing the amused looks from the people around him, An Yuefeng's face became even uglier. He glared fiercely at Yu Fangfei, "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and take your good daughter away from me!"

The anger made Yu Fangfei's heart tremble. How could she dare to delay? She immediately helped An Xinhe up, thinking that now, the master would probably take his anger out on her!

An Xinhe was still immersed in her pain and resentment, unable to accept this fact, and was helped down by Yu Fangfei and An Xinhe.

Once the group left, the guests in the hall became lively again, drinking and chatting as if nothing had happened.

"Didn't it happen?" An Mi observed the gloomy expressions on Madam Liu and Liu Zhan's faces. The usually dignified and gentle Madam Liu couldn't even manage a forced smile now. Ha! This blow was quite significant!

At this moment, Anmi felt extremely happy.

Just then, the shopkeeper, who had just been sent away by Liu Zhan, hurriedly ran in again. Unlike last time when he was alone, this time he was followed by someone.

The person was a woman, wearing a conical hat and a black veil that completely covered her from the chest up, making it impossible to see her face.

Everyone stared at the woman, wondering, "Who is this woman? Is she the one that the young master of the Liu family is so desperate to keep?"

And what is the connection between this person and Liu Zhan's divorce from his wife?

The crowd's interest grew, and they secretly speculated, intuitively feeling that there was more to it than met the eye. After entering the banquet hall, the woman stood there motionless, and no one noticed that her eyes were searching the hall from behind the black gauze, as if looking for someone. When she saw a certain spot, her eyes lit up instantly.

An Mi looked at the woman, and thinking of her instructions to Shuang Yue, the meaning in her eyes grew deeper. Then she heard Liu Zhan's voice. Although the voice seemed to be deliberately suppressed, An Mi could still hear the urgency and excitement in it. "You are the one who put those more than ten embroidered handkerchiefs on consignment at Liu's Embroidery Shop?"

Liu Zhan saw the shopkeeper hurrying towards him, and then caught a glimpse of the woman in black gauze behind him. His mood, which had been gloomy for a long time, finally found a glimmer of light. He had heard the shopkeeper describe the woman who consigned the embroidery as being dressed in the same way.
