The more Zhao Dong listened, the more confused he became, "What about not revealing the relationship with the Su family after dad asked me to go there?"
"Could it be that the relationship between uncle and the Su family is not good?"
Sophie's eyes dimmed slightly, "My mother's natal family is not here, and there is only one uncle in Tianzhou who is closer."
"Not only uncle, but because of Aunt Mei, the relationship between the Wu family and the Su family has always been bad, and they have not moved together for more than ten years."
"When I can't remember, I once went back to my parents' home with my mother, but now I can't even remember what my relatives there look like."
"I only met that little uncle a few times when I was a child. I haven't seen him since my mother passed away."
As she said this, Sophie laughed at herself and her eyes dimmed, "Not a single relative from the Wu family came to this wedding."
"My grandma doesn't kiss me, my uncle doesn't love me, my father doesn't like me, and my second uncle is also wary of me."
"Zhao Dong, now you know my situation, right?"
"Young lady of the Su family, I just look glamorous. Sometimes I even wonder if I was born with a mistake?"
As she said that, she hugged Zhao Dong tightly.
For more than ten years, except in the Zhao family, she had never even felt the slightest warmth among relatives.
I can't tell anyone about the pain I feel, and I don't know who to tell it to.
To put it bluntly, sometimes she would rather not have all this and just want to be the daughter of an ordinary family.
Zhao Dong hugged her tightly, "Don't be afraid, you still have me, I will always be by your side!"
Sophie rubbed her cheek against his chest, feeling warm.
Zhao Dong continued to ask, "By the way, what does it mean that my father asked me to work there?"
Sophie sat up again, "What else could it mean?"
"Although the shopping mall over there is said to be my mother's dowry, my uncle has been sending people to take care of it all these years."
"Dad once sent people to try to take back the initiative, but unfortunately he never succeeded."
"My second uncle also had the idea of opening this shopping mall, but all of them were rejected."
"Aunt Mei never told me about the grudges and grudges of the previous generation, so I don't know very clearly."
"I only know one thing, Dad definitely had his intention in letting you go!"
Zhao Dong smiled bitterly and said, "Dad asked me to ensure that my monthly profit is five million..."
Sophie sneered, "Haha, I knew he wouldn't have anything good to do for you!"
Zhao Dong had a bad feeling, "What do you mean?"
Sophie explained, "Although it has always been operated independently, legally it is a subsidiary of Su Corporation."
"Although the operating rights are no longer there, we still have to pay regular payments every month."
Zhao Dong asked tentatively, "You mean, this payment cannot be recovered?"
Sophie nodded, "Every quarter, a report will be printed over there."
"According to the financial statements, the mall's revenue is flat every month, and there is not even a penny of repayment."
"But as far as I know, that shopping mall is one of the best-operated shopping malls under the Su family, with a daily turnover of hundreds of thousands."
"How could the Su family give up such a piece of fat?"
"So, every year, Su's side will symbolically send people there, who are regarded as the company's representatives, to check the accounts and collect the repayments!"
Zhao Dong asked, "What's the result?"
Sophie half-smiled, "What do you think?"
"If this job can be done, how come it falls on you?"
Zhao Dong sighed. Although he knew that Su Changtian would not give him any good errands, he did not expect that this matter would be so difficult!
What kind of representative?
Feelings are endless!
It's not that Zhao Dong is afraid of trouble, it's just that this matter is weird.
Being sandwiched between the Su family and the Wu family put him in a bit of a dilemma.
There is Sophie's father on one side and Sophie's uncle on the other. Who can he help?
When things are done, the Su family may not accept his favor, and at the same time, Sophie's uncle will be offended.
If things fall apart, he will have to accept Su Changtian's arrangement and become the Su family's son-in-law.
In short, we are not human beings inside and outside, and we cannot please both sides!
The more Zhao Dong thought about it, the more depressed he became. Even Sophie couldn't explain clearly the past grudges and grudges. His son-in-law was always an outsider, so why did he just help him out for nothing?
Even if you test your son-in-law, do it openly and resort to such tactics, isn't this like setting him on the fire?
No wonder Su Changtian didn't let him reveal his identity.
The Wu family didn't even send anyone to attend Sophie's wedding. How deep should the discord between the two families be?
If they really knew that he was the son-in-law of the Su family, would they still kick him out?
Sophie stood up and rubbed Zhao Dong's forehead, "How's it going? Now you understand my father's methods, right?"
"He knows that outsiders can't handle this matter, not even Aunt Mei, and I won't help him handle it either."
"So, he dragged you into the water!"
"He knows you are my weakness, so he uses you to force me to show up!"
"Don't look at the monk's face and the Buddha's face. Even if your son-in-law misses the mark, he should still have some affection in front of his uncle!"
"That's how he is, and he will always be like this. He always calculates people to the core. In his eyes, family affection is just a bargaining chip in the market and a tool for gambling!"
Zhao Dong was suspicious, "But haven't you seen your uncle before?"
Sophie sighed, "Yes, maybe because of his mother, he still misses me."
"Aunt Mei has a card, and uncle will transfer money into it every month."
"Although we have never met, the friendship is still there."
"I don't have much impression of this uncle, but I know without thinking that he must be an extremely proud man."
"Su's side has not received any repayment, but I have never stopped spending money."
She said with an apologetic tone and lay on Zhao Dong's shoulder, "Forget it, if I don't talk about this, I can't explain the things of the previous generation clearly."
"Zhao Dong, I'm sorry, because of these troubles in my family, I got you involved for no reason..."
Zhao Dong grabbed her hands and said, "Fool, what are you talking about?"
"I am your husband, and it is what I should do to help you share these pressures!"
"Don't go to dad about this matter. I can handle it."
Sophie was moved, "Why, are you afraid that I will quarrel with him?"
Zhao Dong said softly: "I'm afraid that you will make me angry. You clearly care about him in your heart, but you refuse to admit it."
"You two, father and daughter, are really good-tempered all the way!"
Sophie said bravely: "Okay, I'm too lazy to ask him anyway."
"As for you, don't do anything after we get there, just drag it on."
"This little uncle is the only relative who has some contact with my mother. I don't want to hurt his heart because of money matters."
"Zhao Dong, do you understand what I mean?"
Zhao Dong nodded, his face calm, but his heart was in turmoil.
How should he deal with being unexpectedly caught between three parties?
