Retired Villainess Transmigrates into a Cannon Fodder - Chapter 941

Although Shao Yan’s daily life was much busier now than before, his parents were particularly gratified, although feeling concerned. They were especially grateful to Chu Xiang, supporting any decisions the two children make. They showed constant care and provided the warmest harbor and the most reliable support, allowing them to venture freely.

By the end of their sophomore year in high school, Chu Xiang had already purchased a house in a high-end residential area in Beijing with the money she earned. Around this time, she heard that Chen Xuan had found a rich heir and gained access to popular variety show resources and a lead role in a major TV drama.

The rich heir was someone who had pursued Chen Xuan in the past. His family was in the electronics industry, slightly inferior to the Chu family. At that time, Chen Xuan was still the proper Miss Chu and didn’t even spare him a glance. However, upon meeting him at a banquet recently, Chen Xuan actively initiated a relationship, crossing the final line and becoming his mistress.

Chu Xiang paid no attention to her and, during the summer vacation, acquired a cosmetics company. After reorganization, she began developing new skincare products, focusing on scar removal cream.

Throughout the entire summer vacation, she immersed herself in the company’s research laboratory, discussing and researching with the research team. Shao Yan couldn’t convince her to go out and play, so he decided to intern under Mr. Shao, learning more from him.

Developing distinctive and competitive skincare products that could be successfully launched was not something that could be achieved overnight. Therefore, for the time being, Chu Xiang’s company simply repackaged old products before relaunching them. Although they were old products, the sales revenue multiplied several times compared to before because Chu Xiang used exquisite crystal bottle packaging, changed the advertising language, and even hired a top-tier idol as the spokesperson.

Many people who were following Chu Xiang’s entrepreneurial journey were inwardly amazed. They thought that her acquisition of a company was too audacious and feared she might stumble badly. However, they never expected that after reorganization during a summer vacation, the company began to turn a profit, and even the core of the products remained unchanged.

What did this indicate? It showed that Chu Xiang had the ability to turn decay into something extraordinary. Things that others couldn’t sell, she could sell!

Mr. Chu felt bitter upon learning this news. Chu Xiang actually had a company, and it had started to make a decent profit. Her future prospects were very promising. However, the Chu Corporation under his management had already started to decline, and the trend was clear. He had limited ability to change the situation. Coupled with Mrs. Chu who bothered him every day, everything was truly exhausting.

Mr. Chu couldn’t resist Mrs. Chu’s persistence and ended up giving her half of his shares. Mrs. Chu finally calmed down. After all, the constant turmoil was not good for her health, and she also wanted to take a break.

With her relaxing, it gave Mr. Chu an opportunity. He found another mistress and promised the beautiful female doctor he had obtained with a promise of billions.

He was quite conservative and felt that methods like test-tube babies or surrogacy were not natural ways of giving birth. Besides, he couldn’t see or touch the child, and he was afraid of being deceived. Therefore, this time he chose to have a mistress, but he acted more cautiously. He rarely met the mistress, didn’t tell anyone around him, and disguised himself every time he went to meet her.

He also had other thoughts. Mrs. Chu’s health was poor, and she was constantly troublesome. She was unable to handle family matters clearly, as if she had become confused. If the mistress gave birth to a son for him, he might consider divorcing Mrs. Chu one day and promoting the mistress to the status of the son’s biological mother.

At that time, he would have a highly educated, beautiful, and young wife. It was very likely that he would have multiple competent assistants, even if they couldn’t help much, having them around the house would be much better than the current situation.

With this mindset, the mistress he found this time happened to align perfectly with his own desires.

Chu Xiang learned about this through the Qiankun Mirror and chuckled softly, tapping the mirror lightly. “You see, some people live their lives peacefully and uneventfully, but once they encounter a little turbulence, the dark side of human nature emerges. If I hadn’t left the Chu family, where would they find so much drama?”

Not only was Mr. Chu making moves, but Mrs. Chu was also not idle. Last time, she accidentally discovered the affair and caused the mistress to have a miscarriage. Since it was indeed an accident, she didn’t face legal consequences and simply paid hush money. However, it served as a wake-up call for her, so she hired several private detectives to find her biological daughter.

After feeling unable to find her, she unexpectedly started arranging a “daughter” in secret. After all, wasn’t the previous DNA test mistaken? As long as one was determined, who said they couldn’t make another mistake? This time, however, they would find their daughter.

Mr. and Mrs. Chu were equally unscrupulous. Chu Xiang watched the situation unfold like a theater play, without giving them any indication. They thought they were keeping their secrets well, but they were only dreaming different dreams while sharing the same bed. Little did they know, their little secrets were not hidden from anyone.

By the end of the first semester of Chu Xiang’s senior year, she broke the school’s “comeback record” with her first-place academic performance, becoming the most successful student in terms of comebacks and a legend among the students.

As for the Chu family, they finally found their biological daughter. The girl bore a resemblance to Mrs. Chu, and anyone who saw them would think they were mother and daughter. However, along with this revelation, it was also exposed that Mr. Chu had acquired another mistress. Instead of experiencing joy in finding their daughter, the Chu family became the biggest joke within the industry.
