“So, at this time, what we need to build our strength in silence and bide our time, nurturing our own people. We shouldn’t be a tree that grows tall just to attract the cruel bellows of the wind by confronting her. Both sides will only end up suffering.”

Shi Maocheng was the second son of the Shi family, the director of the Medic Association Hospital. Since he often stayed by the president’s side, he was very supportive of his younger brother, Shi Maowen’s advice too. Therefore, he also said to Shi Zhongyu and Shi Yalin, “Zhongyu, Yalin, your Fourth Uncle is right. Nangong Nuannuan isn’t an ordinary socialite from a first-tier wealthy family. After being abducted for 14 years, what she went through is still a mystery. Coupled with the fact that she possesses an invaluable status, we shouldn’t provoke someone like her.”

“What do Second Uncle and Fourth Uncle want Yalin to do?” Shi Zhongyu asked unhappily.

“Yalin, I’ll bring you to apologize to Nangong Nuannuan. I hope that you can sincerely reflect on yourself in front of her. Otherwise, I’m afraid Nangong Nuannuan won’t let this matter rest.”

“What? You want me to apologize to her? For what reason?” Shi Yalin’s expression had grown twisted, and her voice turned shrill.

“Yalin, your Fourth Uncle is doing this for your own good. Right now, the person Chi Yang likes is Nangong Nuannuan. If you can’t maintain a friendly relationship with her, the Chi family will probably ostracize the Shi family. You also know that Second Uncle and Fourth Uncle are in a precarious position right now. Although we’re aware that this is a little unfair to you, you were wrong to attempt killing Nangong Nuannuan without discussing it with us in the first place. I’ve done some investigation. The Chi and Nangong families still don’t know that you’ve done something to Nangong Nuannuan. Once they know, a storm will ravage our Shi family.

“Just Nangong Nuannuan alone caused our Shi family to lose five people and a large piece of land. Think about it, if the Chi and Nangong families take revenge on us, will we be able to handle it?”

“So, for the sake of your politics, you’ll let my sister suffer?” Shi Zhongyu asked unhappily.

“Didn’t you see how angry my grandfather and father were? Fourth Uncle, even though you normally don’t care about our family’s business, don’t forget that it was Fortune Group who paid for the hospital’s expenses and Fourth Uncle too.”

These two politicians were like vampires, constantly bleeding out Fortune Group to strengthen themselves. However, just as his father had just been admitted into the hospital, they were already making such outrageous demands.

They really did not think too highly of the main family. They only knew how to take.

“How dare you!” Shi Maocheng shouted angrily.

However, Shi Maowen was not super angry. He said in a gentle tone, “Zhongyu, since your father isn’t feeling well today and you’re in a bad mood, I won’t hold it against you for what you said just now. However, there’s a reason that you have to understand, and that is the reason we can use the funds from Fortune Group.

“Our Shi family is a united family. We share both glory and loss. If not for your second uncle and me, no matter how great Fortune Group’s funds are, it would still be at risk of being replaced by another group. As the saying goes, ‘the people don’t fight the government; businesses don’t fight politics.’ Fortune Group is what it is today because your second uncle and I are around. The day your second uncle and I collapse, Fortune Group will be destroyed in the shortest time possible.”

Shi Maowen’s words shut Shi Zhongyu’s mouth. After being stubborn for a while, he said, “I spoke out of anger just now.. I hope Second Uncle and Fourth Uncle won’t take my words to heart.”
