But a few days ago, Madam Xu suddenly found him, saying she wanted to give him shops to learn business management. After taking over those two shops, he had once been passionately excited about changing himself and how he would display his ambitions. Unexpectedly, troubles came in quick succession: first his eldest brother’s hostility, then his second brother’s suppression, and finally his grandfather forcing him to hand over the shops…
Xu Han Ren became agitated: “So what does mother think Han Ren should do? Whether it’s grandfather or father, they won’t give Han Ren any chance…”

These words were also from her own experience. She had once given up on the idea of survival. Fortunately, before she could drink the poison, Tian Shen took her to that pure white room. Afterward, she had thought countless times that if she had drunk the poison earlier, everything would have been completely different. From that moment, she would never easily seek death again.

She simply said candidly: “My goal is for the entire Xu family to be united, not just to make Han Zhong and Han Xiao reconcile. If I only wanted to prevent them from splitting the family, I would have other methods. But if the surface is peaceful yet hearts are not, how can the Xu family prosper in the long run?”
