At the same time as the television report, a video was also broadcast.

In the video, Li Kun was standing at Jian Xing’er’s door with a face full of sweat.

The other video was of the Li family’s patriarch entering the villa.

After seeing the news, no one in the Hou family could sit still anymore.

Hou Junlai frowned.

Mrs. Hou said in confusion, “How can that trash, Jian Xing’er, know the Li family’s head and young master? They’re both big shots!”

Hou Xiaoyu frowned and said, “I remember that at the charity banquet previously, when Liu Xin’er caused trouble for Jian Xing’er, Li Kun helped her and he was very respectful. Could it be that Jian Xing’er is a big shot?”

Hou Junlai remained silent.

Mr. Hou said, “At that time, I said that Jian Xing’er wasn’t a good-for-nothing, but none of you listened.”

“I don’t know if Jian Xing’er is a big shot or not, but we know that she knows the Li family’s head and young master. They seem to have a good relationship.”

“If Jian Xing’er was still the Hou family’s daughter-in-law, we wouldn’t have to worry so much about Junlai’s company!”

…

These words made them realize something.

Mrs. Hou thought for a moment and looked at Hou Junlai as she said, “Junlai, go find Jian Xing’er and ask her to help you resolve this matter.”

Hou Junlai immediately said, “I’m too ashamed to go!”

Mrs. Hou said, “Junlai, is your ego more important at this time? If the company is gone, won’t our family starve?”

Without a word, Hou Junlai stood up and returned to his room.

Mrs. Hou said, “Alright, if you’re so prideful, I’ll go look for her!”

After saying that, Mrs. Hou looked at Hou Xiaoyu and said, “Let’s go and find Jian Xing’er.”

Hou Xiaoyu nodded and went out with her mother to look for Jian Xing’er.

Jian Xing’er sat on the sofa as she watched television.

Shangguan Ding was also there.

Shangguan Ding was wearing a tank top and shorts. His perfect figure was revealed and he exuded sexiness.

Ordinary women would be mesmerized by this sight.

However, Jian Xing’er acted as if she didn’t see it.

However, she felt a little uncomfortable deep down.

Shangguan Ding was clearly trying to seduce Jian Xing’er.

Shangguan Ding looked at Jian Xing’er as he said with a smile, “The Hou family will definitely come looking for you later. Only you can help Mr. Hou’s company.”

Jian Xing’er said, “That’s my business. It’s none of your business!”

Shangguan Ding raised his eyebrows and said, “Then I’ll just watch the drama!”

Jian Xing’er was about to say something when a servant walked in and said, “Miss Jian, Mrs. Hou and Miss Hou are here to see you.”

Jian Xing’er sneered. They really came.

Jian Xing’er said, “Let them in!”

Not long after, the servant brought Mrs. Hou and Hou Xiaoyu in.

When Hou Xiaoyu saw Shangguan Ding, she was mesmerized and almost fell to the ground.

Seeing Hou Xiaoyu’s expression, Shangguan Ding couldn’t help but laugh.

Hou Xiaoyu was even more mesmerized by this smile and she stared fixedly at him.

When Mrs. Hou saw that there was a handsome man beside Jian Xing’er, her expression was mixed.

Mrs. Hou said gently, “Jian Xing’er, I heard that you know the head of the Li family. Is that true?”

This was the first time Mrs. Hou had spoken to Jian Xing’er so gently.

In the past, Mrs. Hou would always mock and scold her.

Jian Xing’er said, “That’s right. It’s true.”

Mrs. Hou immediately said happily, “That’s great! Junlai’s company will be able to hold on. The Li family is the overlord of the Demon Province, so the Li family can help Junlai’s company.”

Jian Xing’er said nothing.

Despite seeing that Jian Xing’er was silent, Mrs. Hou didn’t look dissatisfied. She smiled and said, “Jian Xing’er, we chased you out of the Hou family to help you. Only by chasing you out can we stimulate your potential. Actually, I’ve always treated you very well. You’ve always been my daughter-in-law and I think of you as my biological daughter.”

Jian Xing’er sneered inwardly.

Her mother-in-law was quite capable. She didn’t even bat an eye when lying.

Even her mother-in-law herself probably wouldn’t believe what she had just said.

Hou Xiaoyu also said sincerely, “Sister-in-law, I was insensible in the past and let you down. I’d like to apologize to you.”

Hou Xiaoyu even called her sister-in-law.

Jian Xing’er sneered inwardly.

Hou Xiaoyu was really good at pretending.

Like Mrs. Hou, it would be a waste if Hou Xiaoyu didn’t become an actress.

The two of them came over for the sake of Junlai’s company.

After settling the matter with Hou Junlai’s company, the two of them would immediately change their attitudes.

Jian Xing’er knew Mrs. Hou and Hou Xiaoyu’s personalities too well!
