Elder Xi might have held a high position in the past, but he chose to distance himself from City A and his influence naturally had dropped . That was how the world turned; no matter how high your glory, the moment you distance yourself from the center of it all, you would be forgotten at the fringes .
The Tong family and Shen family, on the other hand, had stayed in City A . Their grandchildren had grown up and taken root in City A, so their influence had only gotten bigger from before .
In other words, the Xi family was no longer a worthy rival . In fact, the Xi family had declined in their eyes . Therefore, with both the Shen family and Tong family there, the Xi family would have to yield .
Unless the Xi family didn't care about having no political future or wished to continue their decline, they would know what to do .
AdvertisementMadam President saw through Shen Ru's thoughts easily .
Noticing Shen Ru's smug smile, she reminded her, "Don't take this too lightly . No matter what, you should sincerely go and apologize tomorrow because it will depend on your sincerity whether they choose to put this behind them or not . "
Her advice fell on deaf ears, Shen Ru nodded non-committedly . "Sis, don't worry, I know what to do . "
Regardless, she had a hundred percent confidence she could bend the Xi family to her will . She started to get cocky .
Madam President still kindly tried to prompt her . "By the way, have you found out who was the person who influenced Little Yan to come after Xinghe?"
Shen Ru frowned in confusion . "There is no such individual . Little Yan swore on her life that it was out of her own volition that she decided to teach that woman a lesson because she couldn't stand that woman's face . "
"Murdering someone is teaching them a lesson‽" Madam President finally lost her patience . "You'd better force her to come clean soon or this will definitely happen again . "
"Alright, I understand . " Shen Ru nodded obediently . Madam President hoped she had managed to tease out the conscience within her sister .
…
After Shen Ru left, Madam President went to the bed chamber to check on her husband . His physical condition had been deteriorating .
Even though Lu Qi had tried his best to maintain his condition, but he couldn't stop the illness from exacerbating .
However, the president maintained his optimistic attitude, death no longer pressured him as much as before .
When Madam President walked in, he was still working . Leaning against the bedrest, he was reading through some documents .
Madam President complained slightly when she saw this . "Why are you still up working? You should be resting . "
The president replied with a booming laugh . "I wish I could, but I can't rest easily when I know there's work needed to be done . Making me rest is only going to make me feel incredibly uncomfortable . "
"That's not an excuse," Madam President said before turning to the secretary . "Take the documents away . Next time, you must follow the doctor's orders and not let the president work more than six hours per day . "
The secretary standing beside the bed nodded . "Yes, Madam . "
Then he moved to take away the document . The president wanted to stop him, but when he saw the serious expression on his wife's face, he stopped himself .
"How's everything with Tong Yan?" Since he couldn't busy himself with his work, then the president decided to change the subject . Madam President sat down beside him and told him everything in a helpless tone .
"Hopefully, the Xi family will not pursue this to the end, but if they do, no one will be able to cover for Little Yan . " Madam President sighed .
President nodded slightly . "She deserves the punishment since she did commit something illegal . "
"I know, but…" Madam President didn't finish her sentence but sighed instead . However, the president understood her implicitly .
The president finished her thought .
"But, the Shen family and Tong family will not allow that to happen, right?"
