CHAPTER 516: CHAPTER 516: YOU’RE THINKING TOO SIMPLY

Given Chu Tianrui’s usual reverential attitude towards Wen Lixin, this matter should have nothing to do with him.

Indeed, Wen Lixin immediately explained, "This isn’t Tianrui’s fault; after all, he really had no other option."

"Then who in Chu Garden is making things difficult for Sister Lixin?" Su Ge looked at Wen Lixin’s pregnant belly, seemingly furious, "Why don’t I go to Chu Garden and stand up for Sister Lixin? I may not have many skills, but I can scold people, and I won’t stand for anyone bullying Sister Lixin."

"Xiao Ge, I know you mean well, but this matter isn’t so simple," Wen Lixin sighed helplessly again, "Speaking of Tianrui’s elder sister-in-law, she hasn’t done anything too outrageous to me. She just badmouths me all the time, calling me a poor and desolate dependant completely reliant on the Chu Family. Without the Chu Family, I would be nothing. I could bear it if she said these things to my face, but she speaks even more ill of me behind my back. Now at any gathering at Chu Garden, as long as I am there, I am isolated, no one wants to deal with me and no one respects me."

"Why would it be like this?" Su Ge feigned ignorance, "How could Liu Fengmei say such things? You are now one of the Chu Family, a part of their large enterprise, how could you be treated as an impoverished mendicant? And also, those people outside, how could they look down on you? To look down on you, wouldn’t that be looking down on the Chu Family?"

"Xiao Ge, you’re thinking too simply," Wen Lixin shook her head repeatedly, "Even though I was openly married into the Chu Family by Tianrui, at the end of the day, I am just the Chu Family’s daughter-in-law, which to outsiders, means I’m not really a Chu. Besides, the Chu Family is a top-tier affluent family in Rong City, being their daughter-in-law naturally exposes me to gossip.

Ultimately, it’s because of the issue with Lixuan. His executive rights in the Wen Group were seized, and our Wen Family’s sole male heir died tragically. Now, our Wen Family truly has nothing left. The Wen Family is my maternal family, once my backing, but without that support, I really have no good days in Chu Garden."

"Sister Lixin, this matter...," Su Ge suddenly found herself at a loss for words.

She had never considered Wen Lixin’s situation given the downfall of the Wen Family.

Thinking about it now, Wen Lixin’s days in Chu Garden must have been tough.

Most of the Chu Family’s businesses are now handled by Chu Yihan’s elder brother, and Chu Tianrui really has no say, just assisting in minor roles. This is exactly why Tianrui previously collaborated with the Wen Family to try to overthrow the Chu Family.

Liu Fengmei’s maternal family, the Liu Family, although not tremendously wealthy, have a husband wielding power, hence she naturally holds significant influence.

Most of those who wish to curry favor with the Chu Family are probably coming to please her.

It’s different for Chu Tianrui and Wen Lixin.

Chu Tianrui himself has no significant authority. He can make decisions on trivial matters but has no say in major issues, whereas Wen Lixin, once had a better maternal family than Liu Fengmei, which made her days in Chu Family passably good.

Now, without that influential maternal family and Liu Fengmei not being a gentle person, one can imagine life in Chu Garden.

"Xiao Ge, tell me, how am I supposed to live these days? My Wen Family has fallen to such a pitiful state, and still, there are people who poke at my sore spots every day, kicking me while I’m down. Sometimes, I really think, maybe, maybe it would be better if I just died."
