Chapter 840 - Can an Ant Kill an Elephant? (1/2)

Things changed rapidly in business. One moment, one was at the pinnacle of the pyramid; the next moment, the fall on the way down hurt more than anything.

People were likely to reach out when one was prospering as they were quick to take advantage of one when one was down in the dumps. Not many would reach out to offer help.

“How did this happen…?” Song Wan hugged Chu Xiang, unwilling to leave the home that she had stayed in for a long time. She had not slept well in a few days and nights.

Chu Jiang patted her shoulder comfortingly. “Let Ah Lui deal with it. Worst case scenario, we won’t die without Chu Enterprise.”

However, how could Song Wan accept living the commoner’s life when she had gotten used to a life of luxury and a big house?

“At the end of the day, you won’t starve.” Chu Jiang was more optimistic.

Half of his life had gone by, and he had lost his granddaughter. Chu Enterprise did not matter to him anymore. Having enough to get by was good enough for him. Bankruptcy was the worst possible case, but even so, they would not be left penniless.

Song Wan cried as she hugged Chu Xiang. She was overwhelmed by sadness as she thought of the house that she used to live in. Chu Xiang did not kick up a fuss either, perhaps because she knew that something had happened at home and that she would not get to wear those pretty clothes again.

When she returned, she hid her favorite clothes and toys, not allowing anyone to touch them.

At this time, Xia Ruoxin was standing before a window with a doll in her arms. The breeze from the window ruffled her hair.

“Rainy, did you see that? Mommy has taken some revenge for you. Mommy will take away whatever that grandma of yours cares about. Her home, her money, everything that she had in the past, and her son…”

She hugged the doll as if it was her daughter. She would never forget how she hugged Rainy the way she did the doll when Rainy was first born. However, Rainy was no longer here.

She would never forget who lost her daughter and killed her.

Turning around, she placed the doll back into the blanket, not wanting it to be stained or tainted by the dust in the room.

She then left the place. This was no longer a home. To her, this place was both her pain and her redemption.

She needed memories like these to remind herself that she was still alive.

Passing by a newspaper stand, she bought a financial magazine and browsed through it on a bench by the stand.

“Chu Enterprise faces major downsizing, Chu Lui on the brink of losing CEO position”

“Chu Enterprise will face disbanding before acquisition”

“Chu Lui spends a fortune on a hostess”

Line after line. Chu Lui was infamous now. He was famous before but not as much as he was now.

How about he quit his CEO job and become an actor? He looked good enough, and people will be more than willing to pay and spend time with him.

She thought to herself as she smiled. However, there was a drop of water on the back of her hand.

“Why, is it raining?” She looked up. It was not raining. Even though the skies were gray, it was not raining. She looked down again, and there was another water droplet on her hand.

It really was raining. She smiled to herself, but she felt like she was about to cry.
