Her In-Laws Were Rich and Powerful 1

“Miss Tong, Young Master Jin had ordered someone to take Young Mistress Shanshan away. That person has left you a message telling you to pack up and move to Young Master Jin’s mansion upon your return.”

“What?” Tong Lu groaned internally. Of course, she was not brave enough to face Leng Yejin after what had happened. She gazed sincerely at the maid. Right now, the maid was her only chance at redemption. “Can you bring Shanshan back here to me?”

“Miss Tong, I do not have the authority to enter Young Master Jin’s mansion. The Leng family’s manor takes up a few hundred acres of land, and it comprises more than ten mansions. Every single mansion is an independent entity, and maids are not allowed to enter other mansions. It’s not just maids. The mansion Young Master Jin is staying in is a status symbol in the Leng family, and it is a sacred place that all men in the Leng family want to go to. Many of them don’t even get the chance to go there all their lives.”

The maid explained things to Tong Lu and told her why she could not help her. Tong Lu wore a bitter expression. “Are you exaggerating? It’s not like he’s staying in the presidential palace. But our new president is really a domineering man. You know the way he said that he would make the country even more powerful during the election? It was so motivating!”

The maid agreed with what Tong Lu said very much, and she nodded. “The president has always been a very domineering person, and Young Master Jin took after him. Even though he’s only the president’s nephew, he’s closer to him compared to his own father.”

Tong Lu widened her eyes. “What? His uncle?”

“Miss Tong, you look so surprised. Don’t you know that the president is also part of the Leng family? You’ve been staying here for a year. Don’t you know anything about your in-laws?”

Tong Lu was about to tell the maid that she knew a thing or two, but the maid was impatient. She immediately started telling Tong Lu about the Leng family, as though she was worried that the latter was someone who knew nothing about politics.

“Miss Tong, let me tell you something. Even though the president is very domineering, the true leaders of the country are the ten renowned and acclaimed major consortiums of our nation. They jointly control the country’s finances and are also in control of the congress. All of the presidents are elected by the people. But just think about it. Isn’t every single former president of our country from one of the ten major consortiums?

“The Leng Consortium owned by your in-laws, the Leng family is the top consortium in the country right now. Not only do they dominate the economy of the nation, but the military industry group under them is also very powerful. They also have a lot of proxies within the government which enables them to be in control of the internal and external affairs of the country. The new president is the Leng family’s representative, while Young Master Jin provides him with the necessary financial and military industry backing. Politics and money have always been related, and they complement each other.”

Due to the fact that the maid worked for a family that had huge involvements in politics and the financial world, she was rather well-versed in politics. She made a lot of sense and went straight to the point.

Tong Lu felt that it was such a waste that she had become a maid instead of a political science lecturer. But were they not going a little too out of topic? Right now, the only thing she wanted to know was how to slip out of the Leng family manor while taking Shanshan with her!

“Miss Tong, you’re such a lucky woman to be Young Master Jin’s sister-in-law whom he cares about so much. But don’t ever forget me, okay? If I get to work for Young Master Jin courtesy of you, I’ll be willing to do anything and sacrifice my life for you.”

Tong Lu groaned internally. ‘Can you please cut it out? If this is what you call lucky, I don’t mind giving my luck to you. You might see it as a blessing, but to me, it’s a curse!’

She thought about things all day, and only decided to head to Leng Yejin’s mansion late at night. She hoped that she could cleverly avoid her brother-in-law and flee the place with Shanshan. But the maid’s words brought her back to reality. “Miss Tong, I have something to tell you. When you arrive at Young Master Jin’s mansion, don’t forget to tell the people there who you are. You’ll have to go through a few layers of security before obtaining permission to enter the mansion.”

Tong Lu slumped onto the couch. She had lost her will to live. “Why didn’t you tell me this earlier?”
