Chapter 156 The Capable Uncle
Wang Annan shook his head.
"I left openly. I told the concubine that she could arrange a maid for me, but she had to be obedient, sensible, and carefully trained. Otherwise, if she finds someone like Ping'er and disobeys her after leaving, it will be the Wang family who will be embarrassed. If someone with ulterior motives knew that my personal maid was chosen by the concubine, and then spread rumors that the concubine bullied me, the eldest daughter, wouldn't that ruin the concubine's reputation?"
Su Xiaoxiao couldn't help laughing.
"What a great move to advance by retreating."
Wang Annan smiled, her eyes curved. "I think I'm pretty smart too! I'm free now!"
"congratulations!"
"Thank you!"
The two smiled at each other.
But what they didn't know was that Ping'er, who was bedridden due to being beaten, was secretly ruthless.
She is now in this state because of Su Xiaoxiao and Wang Annan. After she recovers from her injuries, she will definitely take revenge on them.
Wang Annan ate noodles while chatting a lot with Su Xiaoxiao.
Su Xiaoxiao felt very sympathetic towards Wang Annan and lamented that he was also a poor man.
Suddenly, she thought of something and looked at Wang Annan seriously.
"Ms. Wang, I have something to ask you."
"what's up?"
"Do you want to escape the fate of being manipulated in your marriage?"
"Of course I did. Does Boss Su have any ideas?"
"I have a plan. I wonder if Miss Wang is willing to go through with it?"
"tell me the story!"
Su Xiaoxiao sat next to Wang Annan and whispered in her ear for a while.
After Su Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she sat up straight again.
"What do you think, Miss Wang?"
Wang Annan clenched the handkerchief tightly in his hands, looking a little embarrassed. After thinking for three seconds, he immediately gave a decisive answer.
"I don't think there's anything wrong with it. As long as I'm happy, it doesn't matter to me what other people do!"
Su Xiaoxiao smiled.
"I'm very happy that Miss Wang thinks so. Life only has one chance, so we should live for ourselves and live freely."
"Yeah, that's right! Live life to the fullest! If this is accomplished, I will definitely reward you handsomely."
"That's not necessary. I just can't stand us women being bullied."
A few days later, when Su Xiaoxiao was clearing the dishes on the table, she heard some customers chatting.
"Did you hear that?"
"what?"
"It's the Wang family!"
"I heard it, I heard it. Mr. Wang is really cruel. He actually pushed his own daughter into the fire pit."
"Who says it's not true? The son of the Qi family is a drunkard, a whoremonger, and has nothing left out. He has no business acumen at all. Mr. Wang is willing to marry such a good girl to such a useless playboy. Isn't he ruining her life?"
"You don't know this, do you? This was all the idea of Wang Annan's second wife. She was just trying to pave the way for the two sons she brought with her. She said that if Wang Annan married into the family, the Qi family would negotiate a big deal with the Wang family, and the business would belong to the two sons of the second wife in the future."
In the eyes of everyone, the two sons born to Mr. Wang's concubine were not Mr. Wang's.
"No wonder, since they are not your own children, you can do whatever you want."
"Is Mr. Wang really that stupid? He doesn't care about his own daughter's life or death just for the sake of his second wife's child."
"Hey! You don't know something again! The two sons brought by the second wife are also Wang's."
Everyone exclaimed in surprise when they heard the news.
"what?"
"Do you still remember Wang Annan's biological mother, Wang Yuanwai's legal wife, Mrs. Lu?"
"Of course I remember. He died only a few years ago!"
"Yes, that's the problem. One of my relatives works in the palace, and he told us that more than ten years ago, Mr. Wang secretly kept a concubine outside and kept it a secret until three years ago when the concubine came to the door and angered Mrs. Lu to death. The Wang family was afraid of losing face and even more afraid of offending the Lu family, so they suppressed the matter. Outsiders only knew that Mrs. Lu died of illness, and they didn't know the real reason. Later, the concubine naturally became Mr. Wang's second wife. Because Mr. Wang had no sons, the two sons were also legitimately registered under Mr. Wang's name."
"What a great way to kill two birds with one stone! This concubine has brains."
"Not only does he have brains, he's also very calculating."
Su Xiaoxiao listened to everyone's comments without saying a word, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.
A few days later, Wang Annan came to Su's Noodle House with a happy look on his face.
When Su Xiaoxiao saw Wang Annan come in, she immediately stepped forward to greet him.
"What would you like to eat today, Miss Wang?"
“Spicy hotpot.”
"Okay, the spicy hot pot will be ready soon."
Soon a bowl of hot spicy hot pot was served on the table, and Wang Annan couldn't wait to finish it all.
She is so happy today.
When people are happy, their appetite will become particularly good.
Su Xiaoxiao sat opposite Wang Annan without saying a word, watching Wang Annan eat.
After Wang Annan finished eating, he gently wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, stood up and bowed to Su Xiaoxiao.
"Please accept my greeting, Boss Su!"
Su Xiaoxiao took a quick step forward and pulled Wang Annan up.
"No, Miss Wang, there are other people here!"
"What's there to worry about? Reputation is not as important as happiness. If Boss Su hadn't helped me spread the news, how would I have escaped the fate of being arranged into a marriage?"
"So, the Qi family has given up on the marriage with the Wang family?"
"Exactly! They heard about the concubine and what my father did. They don't want to marry into a bad family, so they made it clear that they won't do business with the Wang family."
Seeing Wang Annan's joyful face, Su Xiaoxiao asked, "You are also a member of the Wang family. Your reputation will also be implicated. Aren't you worried?"
"I've come to terms with it! I used to be too cautious, which only put me in danger. From now on, I'm going to learn to be kind to myself, learn to say no, learn to resist, and live the life I want."
Su Xiaoxiao was very pleased to see the light in Wang Annan's eyes.
"It's good that you think this way. There are some useless rules that you don't have to follow. Just be yourself happily."
After the laughter, Wang Annan felt a little sad again.
Su Xiaoxiao asked: "What's wrong? Is there anything else that makes you unhappy?"
"My uncle is here to pick me up. I'm leaving Changming County and going to live with my uncle. I won't be able to visit you anymore!"
"Is your uncle good to you?"
"Okay, my uncle loves my mother the most. He didn't agree with her marrying my father back then. If my mother hadn't insisted on her own way, she wouldn't have been so angry at her mistress that she died. Now my uncle knows the truth and rushed here overnight to take me away."
"Your father agreed?"
"Of course he disagreed, but he didn't dare to offend my uncle, so he had to agree in the end."
Su Xiaoxiao asked doubtfully, "What good method did your uncle use to get your father's approval?"
"My uncle is a legal advisor and has a wide network of contacts. Although he's not in Changming County, my father doesn't dare to offend him."
Su Xiaoxiao nodded in sudden realization.
"Oh, that's how it is!"
She also felt fortunate for Wang Annan.
Fortunately, Wang Annan has a capable uncle, otherwise she really couldn't imagine what kind of life Wang Annan would live in the palace in the future.
