Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 2600: Chapter 2536: Not Taking Your Side

”I don’t know if she’s good or not, but this woman is definitely two-faced, and a master at acting. I saw her holding those elderly people’s hands, her eyes brimming with tears, but once she got into the car, she was wiping her hands with a damp handkerchief for ages, with a look... tsk, tsk, like she had just touched something dirty.”

Chiang Xiao pursed her lips.

So, Lu Shuangshuang’s image was indeed shattered by Zhu Shun.

Luckily, luckily her father never thought of marrying her, and had already broken off the engagement back then.

It makes sense; her father was so smart. Even back when he was just fifteen or sixteen, he should have been able to see through Lu Shuangshuang’s true nature, and wouldn’t have liked her.

But what she’s worried about now is that Lu Shuangshuang and the Lu Family definitely won’t give up, and she’ll never know what tricks they might pull later.

”Sister-in-law, could it be that you have a grudge with Lu Shuangshuang as well? Capital City is a world apart from Pingzhou, how are you even connected to them?”

Chiang Xiao’s mouth twitched.

Saying that life is like chess.

”Brother Shun, let me tell you a secret.” Chiang Xiao suddenly blinked.

Zhu Shun was taken aback by her, ”No, I don’t like hearing people’s secrets, feels like there’s a price for listening.”

”Does Brother Shun know Lu Shuangshuang’s fiancé?”

”Of course, it’s Sixth Young Master Jiang from the D State Jiang Family, but wasn’t he missing, right?”

”Let me tell you, I’m Sixth Young Master Jiang’s daughter, biological daughter, my name is Jiang Xiao, Jiang from the D State Jiang Family.” Chiang Xiao asked, ”So now, do you understand why I’m connected to Lu Shuangshuang?”

Zhu Shun stared at her, stunned, unable to recover for a long time.

He finally let out a long breath after a while.

”Oh my, this really scared me to death. Sixth Young Master Jiang isn’t dead and actually has such a grown-up daughter? Wait, no offense to your dad, it’s just that back then people said Sixth Young Master Jiang’s chances were slim, and many people felt sorry for Miss Lu. But no wait, Sixth Young Master Jiang already has a daughter this big, if Miss Lu finds out, this situation...”

It’s going to be a mess.

Zhu Shun said, ”From my understanding of the Lu Family, they might not let this slide so easily.” With this realization, he continued, ”It’s possible that Jiang Family and Lu Family are going to tear each other apart, and Boss Du, who is also a mysterious figure in Pingzhou, could be closely associated with the Lu Family since he’s been operating right under their noses. That means if I help him, I’d actually be siding against you.”

Hmm, looks like his analysis isn’t wrong.

Chiang Xiao nodded.

She had asked everything she needed to, so she didn’t say more, returning to make tea and bringing over a platter of snacks.

Zhu Shun ate and drank instinctively, and only later realized the flavors were excellent.

He chuckled bitterly and said, ”I’ve enjoyed such good tea and snacks from you, and called you sister-in-law. Would I have the nerve to side against you?”

Chiang Xiao paused, ”Then does Brother Shun want to decline the task?”

”Decline it? That’d be such a waste!” Zhu Shun laughed slyly, ”I actually have a good idea. How about this, pay me a bit, and I’ll go over to Da Long’s, and conveniently gather intel on Boss Du and Miss Lu for you. What do you think? This way, we wouldn’t be enemies, and I’d still take their money, best of both worlds.”

Pfft.

”Isn’t Brother Shun afraid of betraying the person paying you?”
