Her own daughter was also a pillar of the Ouyang family. If her relatives still tried to seize the family\u2019s assets, it would only end up hurting her daughter.<\/p>\n

A child is always a mother\u2019s greatest weakness\u2014her Achilles\u2019 heel.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s right. No matter how outstanding someone is, even a business genius, there will be times when they stumble. It\u2019s normal for a company to suffer losses in one or two quarters. What\u2019s important is how we adjust our strategies afterward and turn things around.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI have confidence in both myself and my elder sister,\u201d Ouyang Ting said, expressing her respect for the hardships her sister had endured.<\/p>\n

\u201cGo to bed early.\u201d<\/p>\n

The second wife didn\u2019t add anything more. She got up, gave her daughter a few parting instructions, and headed upstairs.<\/p>\n

When she returned to her room, her husband had already woken from a nap. Seeing her walk in, still wearing makeup, he asked, \u201cYou\u2019re still up? Where did you go? Or did something happen?\u201d<\/p>\n

It was still pitch-black outside\u2014nowhere near dawn.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s still early morning. I was waiting for Tingting to come back so I could talk to her. She leaves early and comes back late every day. As her mother, I feel like I haven\u2019t seen her in days.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTingting is busy. Don\u2019t bother her if it\u2019s not important. What did you say to her?\u201d<\/p>\n

The second wife sat at the dressing table and began removing her jewelry. \u201cAya has a boyfriend now, and Tingting is just a bit younger than her. Lately, the young master of the Long family from H City has been pursuing Tingting.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI asked her if she was interested. But she said she didn\u2019t like men with the surname Long and that nothing would come of it. She told me not to worry about her personal life.\u201d<\/p>\n

Her husband responded, \u201cWhy are you getting involved in her business? She has her own mind. That so-called young master of the Long family\u2014what nonsense. He\u2019s just the son of a criminal. With what his father has done, there\u2019s no way our daughter can marry into that kind of family.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s no solid evidence.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou really think there\u2019s no evidence? Of course there is. People say: \u2018If you don\u2019t want others to know, don\u2019t do it.\u2019 Just wait. One day, he\u2019ll face the law and be punished severely.\u201d
\n\u201cDo you really think there\u2019s no evidence? There has to be. If you don\u2019t want others to find out, then don\u2019t do it in the first place. Just wait\u2014sooner or later, he\u2019ll be caught and face the full weight of the law.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTingting is right not to like that boy from the Long family. He\u2019s not worthy of her.\u201d<\/p>\n

The second wife sighed. \u201cWe think some of our local young talents are good, but Tingting doesn\u2019t like any of them. Honestly, I have no idea what kind of man she\u2019s looking for.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBack then, those people stirred up trouble from behind the scenes, using our own relatives to try and split up the Ouyang family. Tingting is smart. She\u2019s been in the business world for years\u2014do you really think she doesn\u2019t know what happened?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cShe\u2019s right to look down on local young talents. In fact, I don\u2019t even want her to marry one. If we\u2019re all in business in the same area, it\u2019s easy for interests to clash.\u201d<\/p>\n

Relatives can quickly become enemies.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou mean Tingting should marry far away? I really can\u2019t bear the thought. Ajun and Ajian are still young, and our family\u2019s business depends heavily on Aya and the others.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cEven putting business aside, I still can\u2019t bear the idea of my daughter marrying far away. She\u2019d rarely come home. To be honest, when our parents passed away from illness, the daughter who married far away was still on her way back.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou could invite a son-in-law to live with us, or arrange a dual-residence marriage. Normally, they\u2019d live together, have two kids\u2014one with the father\u2019s surname, the other with the mother\u2019s. On holidays, each could return to their own family to visit their parents.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat way, both sides are taken care of.\u201d<\/p>\n

The second wife fell silent.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not easy to find a man willing to marry into your family. Most capable men wouldn\u2019t agree. The ones who do are often either lacking ability or scheming \u201cPhoenix men\u201d looking to climb the social ladder. Once successful, they often abandon their wives and turn against the in-laws who helped them.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m done talking. I\u2019m going to take off my makeup, shower, and get to bed.\u201d<\/p>\n

With that, the second wife stood up and headed off to remove her makeup.<\/p>\n
