Chapter 1804: Chapter 1804 Embarrassnt
Su Yunjin was still pondering where she had seen that ragged woman just now.
Su Ningxiu snorted beside her, “Little sister, that Wu Xinxin got what she deserved. She brought this upon herself; the prosperous building fell into ruins because of her. Poor Shopkeeper Wu treated her like a treasure, holding her dearly, afraid she’d break, coddling her for fear she’d lt, and entrusted her with the family estate. Yet, she was deceived until not a single penny was left. The Wu Family’s fortune was utterly squandered by Wu Xinxin.”
Su Ningxiu chattered in Su Yunjin’s ear, only then did Su Yunjin slowly realize why she found that woman so familiar earlier. It turned out the woman was none other than Shopkeeper Wu’s only daughter, Wu Xinxin. How could a few months have passed, and she had beco so destitute?
Was the ragged and impoverished person really her?
Su Yunjin still rembered the last ti she saw Wu Xinxin, she was slightly plump, with a very full figure. Wu Xinxin’s face wasn’t considered pretty, but it wasn’t bad either. Particularly, Wu Xinxin was fair-skinned, and as they say, fair skin can overshadow any flaws, making her average looks appear sowhat attractive.
But the woman Su Yunjin saw just now had none of her forr semblance. Not only had she lost half of her weight, the skin on her face had turned rough and sallow, with a conspicuous scar on her forehead. No one would mistake her for anything but a beggar.
The Wu Xinxin from mory and the one Su Yunjin had just seen were completely different, no wonder she hadn’t recognized her at first glance.
“Second sister, you say Wu Xinxin was deceived. Do you know who deceived her?” Su Yunjin asked Su Ningxiu upon regaining her composure. If Wu Xinxin had indeed been deceived, Su Yunjin felt that she had been swindled too tragically. Shopkeeper Wu’s Hongyun Building had been operating for decades, and the Wu Family had built up a considerable fortune over the years. Wu Xinxin’s family had been quite wealthy in the town.
Seeing Wu Xinxin in such despair and destitution, the person who deceived her was ruthless indeed.
Su Yunjin clicked her tongue in admiration.
No one expected Wu Xinxin to be deceived into such disarray in such a short ti, and the details of how Wu Xinxin was deceived were not very clear to Su Ningxiu either.
Su Ningxiu had heard so rumors about it, “Little sister, I heard that the current shopkeeper of Wu Family’s building was once a staff mber hired by the Wu Family. It is said that Wu Xinxin and this staff mber were secretly involved with each other. Everyone at the building knew about it. Back then, Wu Xinxin often disregarded her lady’s status and visited that staff mber’s room alone, sotis spending most of the day inside. People speculated that they must have been engaging in unspeakable acts.”
Su Yunjin clicked her tongue in astonishnt.
So, Wu Xinxin was deceived of her affections and fortune by the staff mber of her family’s building?
Su Ningxiu continued, “The affair of Miss Wu was widespread in the building, and this matter reached the ears of Old Wu. Old Wu imdiately proposed to expel the staff mber who tarnished Miss Wu’s reputation, Wu Xinxin pleaded with him, but Old Wu insisted on expelling the staff mber.”
“Second sister, since the staff mber was already driven out by Old Wu, how did he later deceive the Wu Family’s building?” Su Yunjin was puzzled.
