Chapter 196 Cooperation with Madam Chang
The feud between Xu Hongye and Fu Xinyi provided a juicy spectacle for many in the industry, leaving Xu Hongye with little time to keep an eye on Xu Qing.
The reason the Xu family sent Xu Hongye was because they were worried about Xu Qing's actions. Large families like theirs often have serious internal struggles.
At first, no one knew that Xu Qing and Ge Zeyu had a business relationship. After they found out, the Xu family naturally did not want to provoke the Fu family because of this matter, and of course, they would not let Xu Qing break up with Ge Zeyu.
The Xu family's plan was to please both sides, so that no matter whether Xu Qing or Xu Hongye won in the end, the Xu family could remain invincible.
Now that Xu Hongye and Fu Xinyi have fallen out, Xu Qing immediately told his grandfather about it. The old man made a decisive decision and ordered Xu Hongye to handle the matter of the young model properly.
This made Xu Hongye even more frustrated. What frustrated him even more was that he hadn't gotten any advantage from Fu Xinyi either. After all, Chang Xin and Fu Xinyi were related by marriage, and the people he trusted most were the Fu family.
Therefore, although the struggle between Xu Hongye and Fu Xinyi seemed to have winners and losers, in reality, Chang Xin had already quietly taken care of him.
After watching this play, I found Madam Chang again. She looked even more haggard during this time, after all, she had lost a child, and the woman who caused her to lose her child was still hiding under Chang Xin's wing.
She was extremely disappointed during this period and filed for divorce, but Chang Xin refuted it. After all, the inspection team was at such a critical time, and any scandal would be noticed by the higher-ups.
"What are you doing here?" Madam Chang had lost her former charming and sophisticated demeanor, and seemed lifeless.
I found a seat and casually observed my surroundings, only to discover that there were two more security cameras in the lobby. The words I was about to say instantly stuck in my throat.
It seems that Madam Chang's situation is worse than I imagined; Chang Xin actually used such methods to control her.
"Madam Chang, my mother has recovered recently, but she lacks people her own age to talk to. I wonder if you would be willing to accompany me to see her?"
I tentatively asked what Madam Chang's current situation was.
She looked up at me, then gave a sarcastic laugh. "Fine!"
Without a second thought, she agreed immediately. After speaking, she got up and prepared to leave, but was stopped by the family's servants as soon as she reached the door.
The maid stared intently at me, her eyes wary, but she spoke respectfully, "Madam, you haven't fully recovered yet. Going out at this time is not good for your health. The master specifically instructed that you should rest at home."
"Madam, even if you don't consider your own health, you should at least think about your family."
Upon hearing this, Madam Chang gave a cold look. Clearly, she had lost her basic freedom. The servant quickly lowered her eyes and gave a trembling look.
However, she did not withdraw her outstretched hand, indicating that Chang Xin had given a firm order; otherwise, a servant would not have dared to do so.
Knowing that today was not the time for a conversation, I quickly reached out and grabbed Mrs. Chang's arm, gently rubbing the inside of her palm, and then quickly tapping it twice.
After I finished doing all that, I looked at her with a smile.
"It seems Mr. Chang still cares about you as much as ever. There are even rumors that you two are about to get a divorce, but I really don't believe it!"
"Since you need to rest and recuperate, I won't bother you for now. We can go out together again when there's another opportunity."
I turned and left without any hesitation. I had already given her a hint, and she was a smart woman, so she naturally understood what I meant. I just didn't know if she was willing to cooperate with us.
Based on the current situation, An Fu and Chang Xin are in a romantic relationship, and they clearly still have feelings for each other. The things that were originally expected to be done by the inspection team can no longer be fully relied upon.
Lan Jian might be on our side. After all, he's just a deputy now. If he wants to be promoted, he'll have to bring down the people above him. That's the fastest way to get promoted. Otherwise, he wouldn't have deliberately reminded me to give Ge Zeyu that last time at the restaurant.
However, it's impossible to expect him to control the overall situation. He's a shrewd and worldly person, and he would never expose himself too early. It would be extremely difficult for him to provide any clues, unless Ge Zeyu and I can bring An Fu down.
After much thought, the easiest person to get close to right now is Madam Chang. If she can stand on our side, she can provide us with a lot of convenience.
At 2 PM, the entire Chang family villa was quiet. Ge Zeyu and I went around to the back of the villa. Xu Qing had someone temporarily hack the surveillance cameras in the entire villa. As the time was running out, I was getting anxious when Ge Zeyu suddenly said softly, "They're here."
Upon hearing this, I immediately looked up and saw Madam Chang slowly walking over. "Miss Jiang, what brings you here?"
I couldn't help but chuckle softly, bluntly exposing her pretense, "Since you're already here, it means you understood my hint. I thought your presence meant we had reached an agreement."
Madam Chang's smile gradually faded as she approached the back door, her gaze fixed intently on my face. "If you want to cooperate with me, then we'll have to see what you can offer."
"How about this? Last time you broke into that woman's house in my name. This time, you help me get rid of the child in her belly, and I'll give you what you want."
Her eyes held a hint of fierceness and hatred, clearly showing that she had come to hate Chang Xin's other woman because of the child.
I didn't agree immediately. No matter what, the child was innocent, and I didn't want to do something that would intentionally harm someone. Last time, Ge Zeyu and I deliberately broke into that woman's house just to put on an act for Chang Xin.
"Madam Chang, you're putting me in a difficult position. Even if that child is gone, it won't bring your child back. If you really want to hate someone, shouldn't you hate the culprit?"
Madam Chang sneered at these words, spread her hands and shrugged her shoulders. "It seems that our cooperation is not going to work out. In that case, there's nothing more for us to talk about."
After saying that, she turned and left, giving me no chance to react.
