Chapter 292: Countryside Wife
"Xianxian, all men are bad. I advise you not to play with the second son of Jin Fengxiang. You are still young. I asked you to set traps for those stinky men, not to let you fall into the trap of the second son of Chen."
After Tong Huaqiong left, Mother Mo gave Xianxian earnest instructions.
Xianxian raised her lips with a charming smile and said, "Mom, what you said is wrong. If I want to have a real fight with the Second Young Master, I won't tell the truth to Master Tong."
Mother Mo glanced at Xianxian.
These days she thought Xianxian was almost deceived into becoming a good woman by the second son of Jin Fengxiang.
If they could meet a good family, she would not object to the girls of Tianxiang Tower becoming good people. The key is that they can't meet such a good family, and even the money they have worked hard to save is cheated away.
She has seen a lot of things like this.
There are also girls who have successfully become good women. They enter the house as concubines and are controlled by the original wife. They set rules for her in front of her all day long. The promises of the perverted man gradually fade away as his lust grows stronger until they disappear without a trace.
"Mom, I don't believe in Mr. Chen Er."
Xianxian was sold to a brothel by her parents and brothers.
Parents and brothers are unreliable, let alone other people.
She doesn't believe anyone!
The second master Chen felt that he had redeemed her and welcomed her into his family to keep her company, and then used her to fight for his love.
What benefits would it bring to Jin Fengxiang if she won the fight against Peach Blossom Dessert?
Even if she was allowed to be a concubine, she would not be willing.
Since Mr. Chen Er used her so much, she could also use Mr. Chen Er in return.
Mother Mo said, "It's best if you think this way. Our business looks so prosperous, but who knows when it will collapse. I have always wanted to use Mr. Lu's relationship to find business opportunities for the sisters of Tianxiang Tower, but I just can't get in touch with him. Mr. Lu looks down on people like us in Fengyue. I will do a favor to Mr. Tong today, and maybe I can get in touch with Mr. Lu through Mr. Tong in the future."
"Look, isn't this a tie?"
Xianxian sneered and said, "Mom, you just said that men are unreliable. Why do you want to rely on Mr. Lu? Are you involved now? No! You can only participate in the sea voyage by giving money to Widow Tong. If you want to rely on Mr. Lu to find business opportunities, you might as well rely on Widow Tong. I think she is a widow who has made it from the countryside to the capital city. She is very capable."
Xianxian walked to the window, opened it and looked down.
She saw Gu Dashu and Liu Yue'e go into the jewelry shop.
Gu Dashu's face was full of smiles, and his eyes were full of the country wife beside him.
"Country wives are just so unrefined. The powder on their faces is so thick that they can be used to make pancakes."
Xianxian's eyes hurt from watching this, so she raised her hand and closed the window.
"Who are you saying is unsophisticated? I think Tong Dadang is very pretty, how can she be unsophisticated?" When Mother Mo heard Xianxian say that country wives are unsophisticated, she thought she was talking about Tong Huaqiong.
Mother Mo was taken by Tong Huaqiong to invest in the overseas business and has already formed a preliminary alliance with Tong Huaqiong.
Since we have formed an alliance, we cannot speak ill of each other behind their backs, right?
“It’s just dirt.”
Xianxian snorted, turned around and left.
Mother Mo gritted her teeth in anger and said, "You are so rebellious."
After thinking about it, he shook his head.
Xianxian is so spoiled, it's all because of me.
Among the girls in Mantianxiang Tower, she loves Xianxian the most.
Because Xianxian always reminded her of her little sister who was sold when she was young.
After Tong Huaqiong left Tianxianglou, she walked towards Taohua Dessert.
Pearl Lane is the most prosperous street in Ningcheng, so it is impossible that Tong Huaqiong is the only one who chose to open a pastry shop here.
Gaoxiangji, Bailixiang, Weihaomei and Jinfengxiang, these four major pastry shops all have shops in Pearl Lane.
Tong Huaqiong walked past Gao Xiangji and saw a lot of people queuing.
Jin Fengxiang is indeed a little deserted.
As the former leader of pastry shops, they were naturally unwilling to accept being replaced by Gaoxiangji.
He doesn't have the confidence to snatch food from Gao Xiangji. If he wants to regain his confidence, he has to seize the new colleague to establish his authority.
Peach Blossom Desserts is exactly what’s on target.
But I'm afraid Jin Fengxiang will miscalculate.
She passed by four major pastry shops and came to Taohua Dessert. The popularity of Taohua Dessert was even higher than when it opened yesterday.
Tong Huaqiong came to the shop and sat in the accounting office to look through the account book.
"Boss, why are you here at this time?" He Chao asked.
Tong Huaqiong raised her head.
He Chao felt a little nervous.
He knew that Tong Huaqiong respected him and gave him a share of the profits from Peach Blossom Desserts because that was because he was capable and valuable.
He never dared to forget for a single day that Tong Huaqiong was a ruthless character. If he did anything that would damage Taohua Desserts, Tong Huaqiong would definitely kick him out.
The key point is, he didn't do anything to harm Taohua Desserts.
Moreover, whether it is the hype before the opening or the performance after the opening, Taohua Dessert is quite eye-catching.
Even at this moment, the constant flow of customers outside shows the owner how popular Taohua desserts are.
Tong Huaqiong slammed the account book on the table, and He Chao's heart sank.
"Old He, if I hadn't come to the capital, I wouldn't know that our Peach Blossom Dessert was almost plotted against." Tong Huaqiong said with a sneer.
He Chao felt relieved when he heard the word "we", which meant that his boss treated him as one of their own.
But soon He Chao frowned. What does it mean that Taohua Dessert was almost plotted against?
If this is true, then the biggest responsibility lies with him as the shopkeeper.
He Chao wiped his sweat and asked carefully: "Boss, who is plotting against our Taohua Dessert?"
Tong Huaqiong said: "Jin Fengxiang."
"Jin Fengxiang?"
He Chao frowned.
He Chao and Tong Huaqiong had the same idea. Ever since he came to the provincial capital, he had been keeping a close eye on Gao Xiangji and had not taken Jin Fengxiang seriously.
Unexpectedly, Jin Fengxiang was the first to jump out and plot against Taohua Dessert.
Tong Huaqiong observed He Chao for a while and knew that He Chao knew nothing about this matter. She believed that He Chao would not and dared not betray her.
If she didn't even have this ability, there would be no need for her to do business.
So Tong Huaqiong revealed to He Chao how Jin Fengxiang's second son used Tianxiang Tower to seduce Gu Dashu.
"Fortunately, Dashu is a decent person and didn't fall into the trap. But this matter is not about whether Dashu will get into the trap or not, but about whether Jin Fengxiang wants to use Dashu to plot against Taohua Dessert. If they don't plot against Dashu, they will use other methods to plot against them."
"I just don't know whether this is the idea of Mr. Chen Er or the owner of Jin Fengxiang."
He Chao thought for a while and said, "Boss, the boss of Jin Fengxiang has two sons. The eldest is born to the original wife, and the second is born to the second wife. This second wife..."
He Chao glanced at Tong Huaqiong.
He was afraid that the second wife would hurt Tong Huaqiong.
Tong Huaqiong waved her hand and said, "I understand! This stepmother is just as vicious as I am."
He Chao looked embarrassed.
That's not what he meant.
Tong Huaqiong said: "Now that both sons have grown up and started their own families, the step-wife has been trying to persuade Mr. Chen that her sons should take over the management rights of the shop, but Mr. Chen has not relented. He has neither made it clear that the eldest son will inherit the shop nor that the youngest son will be the next owner. The step-wife and the youngest son are not reconciled to the current situation, so they resorted to such despicable means to plot against Taohua Desserts to let Mr. Chen see the youngest son's ability and pass the shop to him."
What a clichéd plot! Tong Huaqiong could guess it easily.
Like He Chao, it is estimated that in the eyes of the world, the situation of Jin Fengxiang's two sons fighting each other was that the vicious second wife was restless and did not educate the younger son well, which gave rise to the idea of competing with the older son.
As for Chen Dongjia, the instigator who was watching the two children fighting, he disappeared peacefully.
He is like an emperor who holds the world in his hands, and his two sons are nothing but cats in his hands. He holds a cat-toy stick, pointing it to the east and shaking it to the west, letting the two sons run around. This is how he shows his authority!
No wonder Jin Fengxiang was so overwhelmed by Gao Xiangji, the restaurant opened by his apprentice.
