"I didn't mean to abandon her." Cai Shizhen hesitated.

It was just Mu Fu's bad luck. Not long after she came back with her, her ex-husband fell seriously ill. If she didn't remarry, would she have to suffer with them?

"I know Mom had no choice, but would Mu Fu feel the same way? Could she understand you and forgive you? After knowing the truth, you would be a vicious woman with no conscience in her eyes. She would definitely want to cut you into pieces."

"That's why you..."

"That's right, Mom. You have to know that truth will eventually come to light. She'll know she's going to take revenge on us sooner or later. Not only will our wealth and glory vanish into thin air, but you might even have to spend years in jail. To protect ourselves, we have no choice but to prevent the Wen family from turning the tables. We have to strike first!"

"So that's how it is..." After hearing what Yao Jiali said, Cai Shizhen only regretted not taking action earlier. "You did the right thing. Without ruthlessness, there is no hero. Now it's either them or us who will die!"

She had originally been hoping against hope, thinking no one would know what she had done. But now that she thought about it, there was no such thing as an impenetrable wall...

Just like what that silly girl said just now, if you don’t want others to know, then don’t do it.

For decades, she thought she had kept the secret well and could take it to her grave, but she didn't expect that her son and daughter-in-law had already known it.

If that chatterbox old man told others...

Thinking of this, Cai Shizhen immediately broke out in a cold sweat on his back.

Fortunately, her son finally stood up for himself this time and did it without anyone noticing, even hiding it from her as a mother.

He is a patient person and will achieve great things in the future.

"By the way, is Nadaer okay now?"

"Don't worry, Mom. Tengda is fine. We were very careful and there's nothing we can use to hold him accountable." Yao Jiali said proudly as she savored the delicious food. "Although we didn't completely bring down the Wen family this time, it's almost there. Now we just have to wait for the jade trade conference at the beginning of the year so we can get rich."

"real?"

"That's right, Mom, just prepare to enjoy the good life with us."

"Good, good, good! My son has finally made some progress. It's worth it for me to have given birth to him. I don't ask for great wealth or fame, as long as I can live a similar life to before, I will be satisfied."

Seeing her mother-in-law's excited face, Yao Jiali curled her lips and said, "Tsk, is life in the Wen family good? It's just a small two-story house, not even a villa. There's not even a servant to order around, and they don't think it's shabby. Just wait, mom, when our Xue'er marries into a wealthy family, you'll know what it means to truly enjoy a peaceful life."

"Okay, okay, I'll wait for that day."

Cai Shizhen was immersed in the beautiful future described by Yao Jiali. She was so excited that she no longer looked listless.

She looked at her granddaughter who was sitting obediently beside her and smiled happily.

At this time, Song Qingxue's little face had mostly subsided, and her eyes were red, making her look pitiful.

She hugged him and said sternly, "Xue'er, please don't act like this again. How can that kid from the Wang family be worthy of you? He just has a few bucks, and we don't need them right now."

"I understand, Grandma."

Song Qingxue responded obediently.

When Yao Jiali was talking to Cai Shizhen, she didn't say a word from beginning to end.

She already knew that she had no blood relationship with that loser, so she wasn't surprised at all.

In fact, in her heart, blood relationship or not is not important at all.

If you want to get everything you want, you have to take action when the time is right.
