Reborn as a Tough Army Wife-Chapter 811 - 806: Disbelief

"Yes, yes," Mrs. Liu hurriedly said, "You know, the supermarket business is actually quite good, and it’s a profitable venture. Investing in the supermarket won’t lose money. Many people outside are waiting to invest, but I think, after all, it’s better to keep it within the family, you know, keep the fat water flowing within the family."

Fang Pingying saw that Mrs. Liu came to her for help with no other options, but still spoke so grandiosely. Everyone knew Liu Fengsheng’s supermarket would immediately collapse without investment, yet she still made it sound as if investing would be a big favor. Fang couldn’t help but admire her mental fortitude.

However, the matter was urgent, so Fang Pingying replied ambiguously, "I have considered this matter. It’s not much of a difference, but you know my current supermarket is with two other partners, so I still need to consult them."

As soon as Fang Pingying said this, Mrs. Liu’s face froze. She felt Fang Pingying was still refusing, so Fang, worried Mrs. Liu might overthink, quickly added, "But since you said so, it should be fine. I’ll discuss it with my partners, and after a few days we’ll take a look at the supermarket. If possible, we can quickly sign the contract."

"Good, good, that’s the best," Mrs. Liu was overjoyed to hear it as a confirmation and immediately disregarded past grievances, holding Fang Pingying’s hand and expressing, "At the end of the day, it’s easier to talk among relatives. Pingying, no matter what misunderstanding happened between you and Fengsheng before, we’ll just write it off from now on. We’re close relatives; we should continue well."

Fang Pingying smiled at her without speaking.

In Mrs. Liu’s eyes, Fang Pingying had agreed to invest in the supermarket, which made her extremely happy.

After chatting for a while here, Mrs. Liu quickly said she’d let Fang Pingying go to the supermarket in a few days to discuss the contract signing with Liu Fengsheng. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Fang Pingying responded vaguely but never clearly agreed to invest because she originally wouldn’t. It was just to deceive her and Zhou Yunmei into biting the bait.

In Fang Pingying’s view, what she disliked most were people who slyly manipulated things behind the scenes. If Mrs. Liu were honest and discussed it directly with her from a business perspective, even if not for Xiutao, she might agree because it would be beneficial for both parties, potentially a win-win situation.

But now that Mrs. Liu was so cunning with Zhou Yunmei behind the scenes, Fang Pingying wouldn’t blame her for being harsh. She insisted that there’s no way she’d invest in the supermarket, but if it’s a matter of acquisition, they could discuss it, and the price would be based on what she suggested.

Now, because Mrs. Liu received a confirmation from Fang Pingying, she was extremely happy and went home to tell Mr. Liu about it.

Mr. Liu had been very anxious recently because the bank would soon check the accounts, and not only could Liu Fengsheng not repay the loan as promised, he couldn’t even cover the interest. He had no way to explain to the higher-ups, and once they found out it was his son’s loan, he would surely face repercussions.

Recently, he used all sorts of connections without success, and he had no choice but to pin his hopes on Mrs. Liu.

Now, hearing Mrs. Liu say Fang Pingying had agreed, he was so pleased that even his white hair seemed to instantly become less.

However, compared to Mrs. Liu, Mr. Liu was more mindful of Xiutao’s side, and he was relatively kind-hearted. He reminded Mrs. Liu, "Since the Fang Family is willing to help, we must be grateful. As relatives, let’s maintain the relationship well, not be petty, and often visit during holidays with Tingting."

"And be kind to Xiutao, take more care of her family, give some money regularly every month. After all, it was Xiutao who helped us through several tough times."

Mrs. Liu, pleased at the moment, did not mind Mr. Liu’s words implying she hadn’t treated Xiutao well before. She immediately agreed, "I know. Let’s not mention Xiutao, but considering her daughter-in-law is now wealthy and high-status, I will treat them better."

The couple were happily chatting in the living room when Liu Fengsheng, reeking of alcohol, returned from outside.

Ever since the supermarket began struggling and facing closure, Liu Fengsheng tried all sorts of ways. He used to know quite a few powerful friends, but those people respected his father and now, knowing their family’s situation, nobody was willing to help him.

Having exhausted all avenues with no way out, every time he returned home, he faced his father’s scolding and his mother’s disappointed sighs. He felt completely dejected, and during the day, he’d drink heavily outside and come back drunk.

As soon as he entered and heard about his aunt’s daughter-in-law, he sat on the sofa, frowning, "What daughter-in-law? Did Xiao Wei from Aunt’s family get married?"

Mrs. Liu saw her son return and couldn’t wait to tell him the news, "Fengsheng, you haven’t been home recently and didn’t know what happened. It’s not that Xiao Wei got married, but we’ve confirmed that Luo Zhiyong is your aunt’s son, meaning Fang Pingying is your aunt’s daughter-in-law."

Upon hearing this, Liu Fengsheng was stunned. Mrs. Liu had mentioned the unusual relationship between Xiutao and Luo Zhiyong before, so he wasn’t very surprised but felt unsettled upon knowing.

He never thought much of Luo Zhiyong.

The main reason was that he felt Luo Zhiyong came from a poor background, with bad family conditions, a rural person with no good education, and was unworthy of Fang Pingying.

Even if Luo Zhiyong attained a certain position in the military, Liu Fengsheng believed there were inherent qualities that came with birth, anyway, he couldn’t compare Luo Zhiyong with himself.

But now he heard Luo Zhiyong was his cousin, and the remaining bit of superiority he felt vanished, leaving him struggling to accept it.

Almost instinctively, he rejected, "That’s impossible, how could someone like Luo Zhiyong possibly be related to the Liu family?"

Mrs. Liu hadn’t thought much, only assuming Liu Fengsheng was too surprised to believe it, so she affirmatively said, "This matter is definitely not wrong. Your aunt has met Luo Zhiyong, and there’s no way it could be wrong."

Liu Fengsheng still refused to believe, frowning at Mrs. Liu, "How can you be sure? Did they do a blood test or verify the kind of kinship they claim?"
