Shen Lirong stared at the ledger on the table without looking at it, but asked: "Do you think I haven't known about the supermarket's tricks over the years?"
Wu Wen argued, "But do you know how much they have been greedy?"
Shen Lirong sneered, "If you don't say there are many, you should have 20 million, right?"
Shen Lirong explained, "Of course I know. Not only do I know, but your father also knows, and he tacitly approved of all this!"
Wu Wen couldn't understand, "But...but why is this?"
Shen Lirong seemed to be talking to herself, "Why?"
She closed her eyes and thought for a moment. When she opened her eyes again, there was a bit of sadness in her eyes, "Because of your aunt!"
Wu Wen looked surprised. The Wu family had two aunts in Tianzhou. The eldest aunt passed away many years ago. Although the younger aunt is still in Tianzhou, there has been no contact between them for many years.
Wu Wen had asked countless times about the reason, but every time her mother was vague.
It was just a verbal warning, telling her not to have any contact with anyone from the Su family, including Wu Mei and Sophie!
After growing up, Wu Wen also gradually understood that there should be an inextricable hatred between the Su family and the Wu family. Otherwise, they would not be strangers in Tianzhou!
Shen Lirong sighed, "Wenwen, when you were still young, you didn't understand some things, so we never told you what happened back then."
Wu Wen asked, "Mom, what happened back then?"
"How did my eldest aunt pass away? Why haven't we had any contact with the Su family for so many years?"
"I remember when I was a child, I often went to play with my cousin... The relationship between the two families was still very good at that time, right?"
Shen Lirong's answer was different from the question, "You haven't seen Sophie since she became an adult, right?"
Wu Wen shook her head. She had always avoided situations involving the Su family.
In addition, Sophie went abroad to study after she became an adult. Although they were both in Tianzhou, the two of them had never met each other.
Shen Lirong sighed, "Sophie is very beautiful. Her temperament, voice, and smile are far superior to those of your little aunt back then, and she even has some of the charm of your eldest aunt back then."
"In this younger generation, she is the only one who has inherited the best genes of the Wu family. Even you are far behind her!"
Wu Wen was not angry, but said in surprise: "So my aunt back then..."
Shen Lirong fell into memories and sighed: "There was a joke in the industry back then, there was snow in the south of the Yangtze River, and white dew in the north of the Yangtze River!"
"In our time, these two women were considered to be the most influential figures at that time!"
Wu Wen looked longingly, "Wu Xue... is the eldest aunt?"
Shen Lirong nodded, "Yes, Wu Xue is your eldest aunt, the eldest lady of the Wu family back then, the leader of the Wu family who was famous in Jiangnan!"
"Not only does your aunt have an outstanding temperament, but she is also a business genius. In those days, more than half of the wealthy children were admirers of your aunt!"
"And your aunt is a kind-hearted person and never goes against others. She has an excellent reputation in the circle and has countless fans!"
"With your aunt's help, the Wu family's business has been going smoothly, and in a few years they have become the number one wealthy family in Jiangnan's business community!"
"In order to expand the market, your eldest aunt brought your father, your sister-in-law, and part of the Wu family's funds to Tianzhou!"
"In just one year, we took the lead in Tianzhou and established the predecessor of our Huanghua!"
Wu Wen was surprised, "When was our Huanghua still so prosperous?"
When Shen Lirong said this, she laughed at herself and said: "Yes, the Huanghua Group was extremely prosperous at that time. If fate is not wrong, your eldest aunt will also be glorious throughout her life!"
Wu Wen was full of expectations for what happened back then, "Then why..."
Shen Lirong sneered, "Because of Su Changtian!"
"Su Changtian was just a salesman of Huanghua back then. Although I don't like this man, I have to admit that he is indeed a person!"
"I was born in the military, and it took just one year to go from the lowest level of salesman in Huanghua to the sales manager!"
"According to today's terms, he should be regarded as the working emperor of that era!"
"It's also because of this man that your aunt's life has completely changed!"
Wu Wen covered her mouth, "Su Changtian is also a veteran?"
Shen Lirong's eyes were deep, "Yes, your aunt was originally engaged to a wealthy family in the industry. Then, for some unknown reason, she suddenly had an affair with Su Changtian about getting pregnant out of wedlock."
"The marriage has been cancelled, your aunt's reputation has been ruined in the industry, and the Wu family's business has plummeted!"
"Back then, no one in the entire Wu family supported your eldest aunt marrying Su Changtian!"
"But your eldest aunt is a person. Once she decides something, no one can change it easily!"
Wu Wen showed admiration, "So, the eldest aunt married Su Changtian?"
Shen Lirong nodded, "Yes, your eldest aunt is willing to marry, and the dowry is all her shares in Huanghua, which will be transferred to Su Changtian's name!"
Wu Wen asked, "Is it because of this incident that my eldest aunt broke up with the Wu family?"
Shen Lirong smiled bitterly, "How is that possible? Back then, your grandfather loved my eldest aunt very much. Although he didn't understand it for a while, rice has become a meal, and no one in the Wu family made it difficult for Su Changtian."
Wu Wen couldn't wait, "Then what happened next?"
Shen Lirong's face was complicated, "Later? Later, Su Changtian did succeed and used the Wu family's capital to establish Tianxue Supermarket, and in one fell swoop he won all the shares in Tianzhou!"
"Back then, Tianxue Supermarket was the largest retail dealer in Tianzhou, with an annual net profit of several hundred million!"
The more Wu Wen listened, the more confused she became, "Mom, I don't understand. If things develop like this, the current situation shouldn't happen!"
Shen Lirong suddenly clenched her fists, "Yes, it was all because of that car accident!"
Wu Wen's expression changed, "Is it the car accident that my eldest aunt encountered?"
Shen Lirong's voice was cold, "Yes, your aunt died in that car accident."
"Su Changtian locked himself in the study and didn't get any water or rice for three whole days!"
"At that time, we thought Su Changtian was heartbroken and took turns comforting him outside."
"Unexpectedly, after Su Changtian came out, the entire Huanghua changed completely!"
Wu Wen was shocked and had goosebumps all over her body. She felt excited about hearing the secret, "Isn't it possible that the cause of my eldest aunt's death was not simple?"
Shen Lirong shook her head, "No one knows the details of the car accident that year. The case and the closing report are all in Su Changtian's hands, and he has never disclosed them to the outside world!"
"Even your eldest aunt's burial place was laid by Su Changtian himself, and no one in the entire Wu family knows about it!"
Wu Wen frowned, "Isn't this too heartless? Why doesn't he let us go to pay homage to our eldest aunt?"
After hearing this, Wu Wen also completely figured it out.
No wonder my father never went to pay homage to my eldest aunt every time she died, but only lit a few sticks of incense at home!
It turned out that no one in the entire Wu family, including my father, knew where my eldest aunt was buried!
