Tong Le sat up, hearing the sounds of cooking coming from outside. Still a bit groggy, she walked out of her room and saw Tian Ling and her mother bustling in the kitchen.
Tong Le hurried over, greeting them, "Tian Ling! Aunt Li!"
Tian Ling turned around, glancing at Tong Le with relief. "Last night, Zong Zeyu called me and asked me to come keep you company, so I brought my mom along. Don't worry, last night Ke Wenjie also called me, and I did a video call with him to verify everything. He didn't say much."
Tong Le sighed in relief. "Thank you for coming to keep me company so late."
Li Hongmei, Tian Ling's mother, spoke warmly, "Lele, we're family, so there's no need to be polite. I took a stroll around the neighborhood this morning; the environment here is really nice. If it were up to me, you should hurry up and divorce that useless husband of yours and marry someone like Zong! I've heard from Tian Ling that he treats you well."
Tian Ling interrupted, "Alright, Mom, let’s focus on cooking. We still have to go to work later!"
As the dishes were served on the table, Tong Le had just finished washing up.
The three of them began to eat when Tong Le's phone buzzed with a WeChat message from Zong Zeyu.
"Are you awake, little lazy pig? Should I send someone to bring you breakfast?" Zong Zeyu asked.
Tong Le snapped a photo of the table filled with Aunt Li's hot dishes and porridge.
She replied, "What time did you leave last night?"
Zong Zeyu responded, "I left right after kissing you."
Tong Le was taken aback. "???"
Zong Zeyu added, "I'll kiss you again next time."
Tong Le turned off her phone screen and looked up with flushed cheeks.
Tian Ling spoke up again, "By the way, Tong Le, you haven't told my mom about your plan regarding your mother-in-law."
Tong Le thought for a moment and said to Li Hongmei, "Aunt Li, I need your help with something. In about two days, my mother-in-law Zhang Huizhi will receive a cash deposit of forty thousand. I want to transfer this amount out under the guise of an investment. Since you used to work in insurance and understand many professional terms and knowledge—and because you're Tian Ling's mother—this would be more secure if I ask you for help."
Li Hongmei put down her chopsticks and said seriously, "You want to transfer your mother-in-law's forty thousand savings? Isn’t that fraud?"
Tong Le quickly shook her head. "No, it's not like that—"
Before she could finish her sentence, Tian Ling interrupted, "Mom, it's not what you think. It's Tong Le's husband Ke Wenjie who recently sold the house under Tong Le's name. That house was Tong Le's premarital property. But as you know, Ke Wenjie has completely controlled the financial power of the Tong family over the years. He even secretly took away all the property certificates and important documents when Tong Le's parents were still around and when she was at her most vulnerable. Now Tong Le wants to get that money back but can't confront him directly because she doesn't have the strength to do so right now. If she really confronts Ke Wenjie head-on, he might destroy Tongshan Real Estate in retaliation. At that point, they would lose everything."
Li Hongmei understood. "So you want to transfer the proceeds from the house sale without Ke Wenjie or Zhang Huizhi knowing?"
Tong Le nodded vigorously. "Exactly! The house sold for ten million yuan. Within two days, Ke Wenjie will transfer forty thousand cash to Zhang Huizhi. As for the remaining sixty thousand cash, I'll find other ways to handle it. The current issue is how to take that forty thousand from Zhang Huizhi."
Li Hongmei still hesitated. "What if something goes wrong? Wouldn't that make me complicit in fraud?"
Tian Ling encouraged her from the side, "Mom, it won't happen! Tong Le has already enlisted Dao Wen’s help to create a legitimate investment project. You just need to approach Zhang Huizhi as a stranger and persuade her to invest; given your similar ages, it should work."
Tong Le said that Zhang Huizhi was quite special; she didn't trust the words of acquaintances but had faith in strangers, especially those who appeared very professional. At that time, we would set up a situation where you could talk to her. You are good at conversation and understand social nuances, so it would be easy for you to win Zhang Huizhi over. Most importantly, you are one of us, someone we can trust.
Li Hongmei expressed some concern, asking if everything was really okay. Was the investment project you arranged last minute truly legal and compliant?
Tong Le nodded, assuring her that everything followed the normal procedures. There were project documents involved, and it had nothing to do with fraud since the ownership and interpretation rights of the project were in the hands of Party A. My goal is quite simple; I would rather let this money sit in this so-called project fund forever than allow it to fall into the hands of Ke Wenjie and Zhang Huizhi.
Tian Ling turned to her mother and pleaded, "Mom, please help with this! Think about it from my perspective: if your daughter were tricked by a deceitful husband and left with nothing, with family assets gone and parents ruined, and now they want to sell my pre-marital property to seize that money from the sale—wouldn't you be furious?"
Suddenly, Li Hongmei slammed her hand on the table. "Furious? That’s an understatement! I would take down their entire family! I would never let you marry into such a family! They are nothing but devils—bloodsucking demons! I will fight them to the end!"
Li Hongmei turned to Tong Le with reassurance. "Don’t worry, Tong Le. I will help you. As long as your investment project is legal and compliant, I will find a way to get Zhang Huizhi to invest her money. I’ll consider it a service to the community!"
Her gaze softened suddenly. "You and Tian Ling are both unfortunate souls. But remember, life is about enduring hardship before tasting sweetness; things will get better! I will help you with this because over the years, while Tian Ling has endured psychological torment, you have helped her immensely. Thanks to you taking her to see a psychologist, she is much brighter now than before."
