Chen Xuan wasn't angry, with a calm smile, "Uncle Zhang, where did I spread rumors? It's clear that the Zhang Family harbors ill intentions."
"Chen Xuan, don't speak recklessly." Zhang Ru gave Chen Xuan a cold look, fearing he would anger her father and strain relations again.
"Mother-in-law, I'm protecting your interests, not speaking recklessly." Chen Xuan replied softly.
Zhang Ru wanted to say more, but Lin Zhiguo secretly pulled her back, stopping her from speaking further.
In this situation, only an 'outsider' like Chen Xuan could interject to prevent the Zhang Family from seizing the opportunity to gain benefits.
Besides Chen Xuan, none of them were in a position to speak up.
Zhang Jun was clearly annoyed, "Chen Xuan, what do you mean by this?"
"Nothing really, just can't stand your ways."
Chen Xuan spoke softly, "The Zhang Family is indeed in a developmental slump, but it's far from the exaggerated situation you describe, as if it wouldn't last until tomorrow."
