Chapter 183 The Liu Family's Upheaval
Liu Jinshi is now somewhat glad that she didn't drive Liu Ruyan away. No matter how confident she is, she still worries that Wu Tao might be seduced by a group of beautiful women.
To be honest, all these women are quite outstanding to be able to attend such an event. Whether it's their education, figure, appearance, or career, they are all top-notch.
Either the other party comes from a prominent family, otherwise they would never appear in such a high-level game.
Liu Jinshi was only qualified to be here because of Wu Tao; otherwise, relying solely on the Liu family, she wouldn't even be able to get close to the outside world.
Don't be fooled by how enthusiastic those women are towards Wu Tao; they are treated like princesses in the outside world as well.
Ordinary men are simply not enough to catch their attention, and many outstanding men are merely one of their many suitors.
Even on a bigger stage, Wu Tao would be in a league of his own, let alone in a second-tier city like Jiangcheng.
The leaders he usually interacted with were at least elders, and many local leaders invited Wu Tao to come and inspect.
In particular, after news of Wu Tao's new project being approved spread, Wu Tao received a flood of invitations.
This also made the leaders of Jiangcheng very nervous. They desperately needed to be associated with Wu Tao. If Wu Tao left Jiangcheng to invest elsewhere, not to mention how much tax revenue would be lost, his reputation would also suffer!
Wu Tao wasn't blinded by the compliments from others. Jiangcheng was where he started his career. Besides, he already had a foothold in Jiangcheng, and it was hard to say what the future would hold if he rashly went to another place.
Liu Jiangcheng has been enjoying immense success on social media lately. He was initially ridiculed by many for his eldest daughter's divorce from Wu Tao, but he has now become one of the most prominent figures in Jiangcheng again thanks to his younger daughter's successful rise to power.
Although some people still mock the Liu family for having no bottom line, no one dares to talk about the Liu family like that on the surface.
Who can blame him? Wu Tao's assets are now so substantial. Not to mention Jiangcheng, even in first-tier cities, Wu Tao is considered a top-tier tycoon.
No matter how much others criticize Liu Jiangcheng, he's got the skills. You could send your daughter there and see if you can win over a tycoon like Wu Tao.
Liu Jiangcheng was a snob to begin with; in the past, he could only be considered above average among his friends.
Liu Jiangcheng has now become a big brother figure in the industry, and many people are trying their best to curry favor with him.
At the same time, Liu Jiangcheng continued to expand his network of connections, and some people who were previously unapproachable were now willing to humble themselves and befriend him.
After all, Liu Jiangcheng is now Wu Tao's father-in-law in public. Many people want to get close to Wu Tao but can't find an opportunity, so getting close to Liu Jiangcheng is much easier.
Liu Jiangcheng used to have to be careful to curry favor with even some section-level cadres, but now he often gets together with division-level cadres and occasionally runs into one or two department-level cadres.
Besides those with official positions, his circle of friends has changed from people with a net worth of several million to business owners with a net worth of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions.
All of this brought Liu Jiangcheng a great sense of satisfaction, and it was a scene he had always dreamed of.
As someone who rose from humble beginnings, Liu Jiangcheng particularly envied the wealthy and high-ranking officials.
However, all his life's work barely managed to transform a small restaurant into a mid-range hotel.
Although Liu Jiangcheng was already quite successful compared to his former fellow villagers, he didn't even look at them.
Unexpectedly, he has now become a superior person thanks to his son-in-law, and Liu Jiangcheng has naturally begun to swell with pride under everyone's praise.
In fact, it's not just Liu Jiangcheng, but also Sun Wenli.
Sun Wenli had to endure hardships alongside Liu Jiangcheng to gradually bring prosperity to their family.
However, as her family's financial situation improved, Sun Wenli rarely worked as frugally and diligently as before.
Instead, he enjoys spending his days getting beauty treatments and shopping with those ladies.
The Liu family has changed dramatically, and Liu Jiangcheng and Sun Wenli have become the most prominent figures in their circle of friends.
Fortunately, Sun Wenli knew to restrain herself and did not expand her circle of friends, maintaining the same friends she had before.
Aside from the possibility of being taken advantage of by her best friend, this wouldn't pose much risk to her family.
Sun Wenli was able to control herself, but Liu Jiangcheng couldn't.
Especially since some of them were already scheming, and Liu Jiangcheng now felt he could do whatever he wanted in Jiangcheng.
At a party, Liu Jiangcheng met a woman who particularly captivated him. Given their respective social statuses, Liu Jiangcheng didn't have any advantage.
However, Liu Jiangcheng is not the same as before. With Wu Tao as his son-in-law backing him up, Liu Jiangcheng is naturally very bold.
The woman knew Liu Jiangcheng's background, so the two naturally came together.
Liu Jiangcheng was quickly bewitched by the woman and actually took the initiative to propose a divorce from Sun Wenli.
This has completely exposed the Liu family's true colors, and Sun Wenli immediately summoned Liu Ruyan and Liu Jinshi back.
Liu Ruyan and Liu Jinshi would definitely not agree to their father and mother's divorce.
Wu Tao has recently been busy with the international version of TikTok and has gone abroad to conduct inspections.
Liu Ruyan and Liu Jinshi returned home and began to persuade their father.
Unfortunately, Liu Jiangcheng had no intention of backing down at all; he felt that he could only find happiness with that woman.
As for his wife and their years of relationship, they mean nothing to a man who is infatuated.
Seeing that Liu Jiangcheng was determined to get a divorce, Liu Ruyan and Liu Jinshi could only turn back and persuade their mother.
Sun Wenli received the villa and 500,000 yuan in cash, while Liu Jiangcheng received all the shares of the restaurant.
Liu Jiangcheng moved out and started living with the other woman, living happily ever after. Sun Wenli was so ashamed that she couldn't face anyone.
The couple had been married for over thirty years, but unexpectedly, they divorced when they were both over fifty.
Liu Jinshi told Wu Tao about these things over the phone, and Wu Tao didn't have any good ideas other than telling her to go home and spend more time with her mother.
Wu Tao didn't care much about the Liu family. Apart from Liu Jinshi, who was somewhat important, Liu Jiangcheng, Sun Wenli, and even Liu Ruyan were nothing to Wu Tao.
Back then, the original owner of this body experienced nothing but humiliation and disgrace in the Liu family. If it weren't for Liu Jinshi's sake, Wu Tao would have already taken action against Liu Jiangcheng.
Wu Tao is already being very considerate by refraining from seeking revenge; he doesn't want to interfere in anything else.
Having gone through several lifetimes, Wu Tao's heart has long since become extremely cold and ruthless.
In Wu Tao's eyes, the Liu family wasn't really worth his attention. The fact that the Liu family could share in his glory was already a bargain for them.
Wu Tao wouldn't try to persuade Liu Jiangcheng if he couldn't control himself. Besides, when the original owner of this body had a conflict with Liu Ruyan, neither Liu Jiangcheng nor Sun Wenli resolved the issue fairly.
