Chapter 82 How did the distortion become like that?

"Whether to get promoted or not is not up to me." Ding Chao frowned, he was obviously unhappy.

"I'm just asking..."

"Don't ask." Ding Chao knew that it would be difficult for him to get promoted in his lifetime.

How Ding Hongwang's biological father died was not known only to Ding Chao, but also to some leaders in the factory.

Factory employees volunteered to help build the dam. Upon completion, they were offered opportunities for further development. Ding Chao and Ding Hongwang's father signed up. Since they worked at the same factory, they naturally had a strong relationship. While other factory employees were also invited, Ding Chao and Ding Hongwang's father were already friends.

During the construction of the dam, Ding Hongwang's biological father could have been spared, but Ding Chao insisted on doing it his own way, and Ding Hongwang's father died trying to save him. Ding Chao chose to raise Ding Hongwang because he felt guilty, and he sometimes dreams of arguing with Ding Hongwang's father.

If Ding Chao had listened to Ding Hongwang's father, his death wouldn't have happened. The other ordinary employees at the company didn't know much about Ding Chao and his father, but there were some rumors that Ding Hongwang's father died saving Ding Chao. That was true, but they still knew too little.

It can be said that Ding Chao is responsible for the lives of others, and the factory leaders will not allow Ding Chao to be promoted. Ding Chao has to pay the price for the mistakes he made.

Those events also motivated Ding Chao to raise Ding Hongwang. He also wanted to show his superiors that he was diligently working to rectify his past mistakes. That was all Ding Chao could do. He figured that if a few more years passed, perhaps those superiors would stop dwelling on the past.

"Don't ask me anymore, okay?" Ding Chao said impatiently. "You're always talking about money. Can't you live without it? Other families have one person working and have to raise so many children, and they manage to raise them well. But you? All you think about is money. Do you regret marrying me?"

"No, how could I regret marrying you? I don't regret marrying you at all." Jiang Yuqin said quickly, "Don't be angry..."

"I'm not angry." Ding Chao said, "I'm just stating a fact to you."

"Okay, okay, okay, I got it." Jiang Yuqin didn't want to ask any more questions. She couldn't make Ding Chao even more unhappy.

In front of Ding Chao, Jiang Yuqin always compromises like this. When the two of them have a conflict, Jiang Yuqin is always the first to bow her head. Jiang Yuqin feels that she should bow her head. Loving someone means making that person live a happy life, not making that person suffer with you.

Jiang Yuqin thought that if she could have a job like Jiang Moli, if she could make money like Jiang Moli, then she would definitely make Ding Chao and his family live a better life. Why is God so good to Jiang Moli, leaving so many good things for her?

When Jiang Yuqin went to Niu Cuihua to buy tofu, she deliberately mentioned Jiang Moli in front of Niu Cuihua.

"Moli has appeared on CCTV's Spring Festival Gala. I wonder how much money she can get this time." Jiang Yuqin said.

"I didn't take any money, not a penny." Niu Cuihua said.

After Jiang Moli returned, Niu Cuihua and her husband visited her. Niu Cuihua asked about it, and Jiang Moli said she didn't get any labor fees. Niu Cuihua was surprised, wondering why she didn't get any labor fees. Jiang Moli said that being able to perform on CCTV's Spring Festival Gala was enough, and how many people would want to pay for it.

Jiang Moli didn't think about whether she would get any labor fees. The first thing she thought about was that she would be able to appear on the CCTV Spring Festival Gala.

"How is that possible?" Jiang Yuqin didn't believe it.

"Are you here to buy tofu, or to criticize Jasmine?" Niu Cuihua frowned.

Jiang Yuqin occasionally sold tofu at Niu Cuihua's place because it was cheaper there. Jiang Yuqin was short on cash and didn't want to spend too much, so she came to Niu Cuihua to buy tofu. Niu Cuihua didn't say much to Jiang Yuqin, so she just bought tofu without any worries.

This time, Jiang Yuqin insisted on saying these words in front of Niu Cuihua, and Niu Cuihua was naturally unhappy.

"I'm just thinking that Jiang Moli has made so much money, do you still need to pay her back?" Jiang Yuqin said, "Moli even has a house."

"You have to pay it back," Niu Cuihua said. "No matter how much money Jasmine makes, it's hers."

Niu Cuihua packed a piece of tofu for Jiang Yuqin. Jiang Yuqin paid for it. Niu Cuihua waved her hand and told Jiang Yuqin to leave quickly. She really didn't want to see Jiang Yuqin anymore.

When Xie Shaojun and Shi Nan were drinking together, Xie Shaojun also sighed, "What a pity, Jiang Moli and you are quite a match. You two are the golden boy and jade girl of our street. I used to think you would be together."

When Shi Nan heard this, he felt even more sad. Look, many people thought that he and Jiang Moli were a good match. It was all because of his biological mother that he couldn't be with Jiang Moli. When he chose to marry his boss's niece, his biological mother caused so many problems.

When He Jingxian saw Jiang Moli on CCTV's Spring Festival Gala, she was in a trance. He Jingxian originally thought that Jiang Moli would only appear on the provincial opera Spring Festival Gala, even if she was just sitting in the audience. She still thought that maybe one day she could surpass Jiang Moli.

Zhou Yaran was pregnant, but she still went to work. Seeing that He Jingxian was not in a good mood, Zhou Yaran couldn't help but ask, "Are you born like this after giving birth? Are you planning to get pregnant again?"

"You..." He Jingxian looked at Zhou Yiran, who was still chewing an apple, "You didn't rest at home?"

"Why should I rest at home?" Zhou Yiran asked. "I'm not that precious. I still have to go to work. I can't just stay at home every day and wait for the company to pay my salary. Is that reasonable?"

Zhou Yiran almost mentioned He Jingxian by name. After He Jingxian joined the unit, she spent very little time there.

Give birth, give birth, give birth. It seems that He Jingxian’s only mission is to give birth to children.

Zhou Yiran looked at He Jingxian, but He Jingxian no longer had the charm she had in school.

"Your mother is at work, you can go back." He Jingxian said.

"Well, your second aunt is at work, you can go back." Zhou Yiran replied to He Jingxian.

"..." He Jingxian was confronted. She did not continue speaking, but turned around to practice her body shape.

Zhou Yiran didn't practice; she was pregnant and couldn't move. She came to work, watching others rehearse and thinking she had to learn. She either wanted to work harder or was bored at home, so she decided to come to work.

That night, Shi Nan stood outside Jiang Moli's house for a long time, and then he was discovered by the security personnel. Shi Nan had to leave, he didn't want to be discovered by Jiang Moli.

If Jiang Moli knew that Shi Nan did that, she would definitely say that Shi Nan should stand at the door of Bai Meiqi's house instead of standing at her own door. Jiang Moli thought about it, and she felt that Shi Nan should not stand at the door of Bai Meiqi's house. Shi Nan was not worthy of standing at the door of those women.

Shi Nan's actions could not move Jiang Moli, as she knew how selfish Shi Nan was.

Jiang Moli didn't know about Shi Nan's behavior, but Sheng Jiahao knew about it. But Sheng Jiahao didn't tell Jiang Moli, because he thought Jiang Moli didn't need to know such a disgusting thing.

Jiang Moli stayed at the company for a while, then she went to the crew. Sheng Jiahao did not accompany Jiang Moli, and Jiang's father and mother stayed in South City. Sheng Jiahao arranged an assistant for Jiang Moli, and with the assistant helping with some work, Jiang Moli could also relax a little.

Jiang Moli didn't push the luggage herself. She didn't have much luggage, so her assistant helped her push it. Sheng Jiahao gave the assistant money, and Jiang Moli asked the assistant to do some things. She couldn't do everything herself, so what was the point of the assistant? Would she give the assistant money for nothing?

This reminded Jiang Moli of a news story about a celebrity who asked her assistant to help carry her luggage. Afterward, the celebrity was criticized online, and some people asked, "Do celebrities have hands?" They said the celebrity didn't treat the assistant as a human being.

When Jiang Moli saw the news, she was speechless. That was an assistant. People paid them to do things. They couldn't just flatter the assistant and let him do nothing. Jiang Moli didn't quite understand the train of thought of those people. The assistant himself had no objection, but netizens were speaking up for him. The assistant really didn't need others to speak up for him. The assistant was just afraid of having nothing to do and being fired.

Jasmine's assistant is a college graduate named Tian Yueyue. Tian Yueyue says her parents wanted her to be happy and joyful, so they named her Tian Yueyue. She doesn't feel wronged about being Jiang Moli's assistant; the salary is high, so why would she feel wronged? Tian Yueyue's willingness to help Jiang Moli with tasks requires a keen eye; without that, there's no point in doing anything.

When Sheng Jiahao was hiring, the HR department asked questions, and Sheng Jiahao himself asked some questions as well. Sheng Jiahao wasn't hiring for nothing. It wasn't about asking Jiang Moli to take care of the assistant; it was about asking the assistant to take good care of Jiang Moli. The assistant had to know how to buy plane tickets and meals, and they had to be familiar with the routes and how to navigate them, making good arrangements. If the assistant didn't know, they had to do their homework.

Sheng Jiahao tested the interviewees. Tian Yueyue was relatively calm and steady, so she was retained as Jiang Moli's assistant. This role would help Jiang Moli contact film and television companies, and also do some of the work of an agent. It was also considered a promotion and could bring a salary increase. Tian Yueyue felt that she was well suited to this kind of work and that she could do it.

At this time, college graduates were still quite popular. The relevant personnel asked Tian Yueyue, and Tian Yueyue still felt that it was better for her to be Jiang Moli's assistant. The main reason was that when Jiang Moli was away, Tian Yueyue had to do more things. If Jiang Moli was in South City, Tian Yueyue would do less things. The most important thing was that she could make more money.

Tian Yueyue needed money. She had younger siblings at home, and they all needed to go to school. Education cost a lot of money, and now that Tian Yueyue had graduated, she couldn't just ignore them. Tian Yueyue thought about how she used to take care of her younger siblings. They were so annoying, but she persevered. She took care of them, but they didn't have any money to give her, and her parents didn't pay her. But Tian Yueyue could earn a lot of money as Jiang Moli's assistant. What a wonderful thing!

It was the first time Jiang Moli took Tian Yueyue out of South City. Seeing how happy Tian Yueyue was, she couldn't help but ask, "We might not have a day off. It depends on the crew's arrangements. If they ask us to film, we have to film. We might have to come back late sometimes."

"It's okay." Tian Yueyue helped Jiang Moli tidy up her clothes. She was now in Jiang Moli's room. "Teacher Jiang, if you have anything to do, just tell me. If I haven't done anything well, please tell me. Come back later at night. I'm here. I also know some martial arts."

Tian Yueyue stood out because she knew some boxing skills and was very strong. Sheng Jiahao originally wanted to assign two more people to Jiang Moli, but Jiang Moli said no. Others did not bring assistants when filming, but Jiang Moli brought one. Although Jiang Moli paid for her own assistant's expenses, some people might think that Jiang Moli was not a good person.

Jiang Moli thought that it would be enough to bring an assistant, and if there was a real need, they could talk about other things.

"It doesn't matter if I don't have a holiday," Tian Yueyue said. "I get paid quite a bit a day. Will my salary be deducted if I take a holiday?"

"Normally... no deductions." Jiang Moli said, "I don't have anything else to do here, so I'll give you a day off. It's paid leave."

Jiang Moli couldn't just arbitrarily deduct Tian Yueyue's salary. It's not easy for workers, so she should be more considerate and not let people work so hard for so little money. If others feel it's not worth it, they might do something unpleasant. People should be better people and not be too harsh on those around them.

"That's great." Tian Yueyue said with a smile, "I'm paid to do a job, so I have to do it well."

"Okay." Jiang Moli nodded.

Jiang Moli is very beautiful, and her acting is both charming and dignified. Some male actors enjoy watching her film. Jiang Moli and the crew have to go to other locations to film; they don't all stay in one place. This time, her role is slightly larger, but not by much. This time, the drama is more emotional.

When the director saw Jiang Moli's makeup, he understood. No wonder so many male actors wanted to see Jiang Moli.

However, when the TV series was actually aired, most viewers only wanted to see the monkeys. Of course, the beauties in Journey to the West each had their own unique characteristics, and they became very popular later on. The heroines in many units were very famous. Even in the internet age, some people still edit clips of these female protagonists.

Jiang Moli had long since discovered that some crews resembled those from her past life, but some of the people were different, yet the end results were similar. Sometimes, Jiang Moli felt like a patch, filling in the gaps that happened to be short of people, so she filled them. Sometimes, Jiang Moli felt that something was wrong. Wouldn't that be like her thinking of herself as a passerby, a cannon fodder? She was actually actively working hard to live her life.

She hadn't met Sheng Jiahao for several days, and Jiang Moli only called him when she arrived at the hotel. The rest of the time, Jiang Moli had no time, either filming or studying the script with the cast. Jiang Moli had to listen to the director. Sometimes, when she didn't perform well, she would just listen to what the director said. The director was really good, even doing some of the moves, and Jiang Moli would just imitate them, which made the show much better.

Jiang Moli is a Peking opera actor with a good figure and good manners.

The director not only found Jiang Moli as an opera actress, but also found other actors to play the female demon.

"Someone had their eyes on this role. She had played another role before, and the director wanted her to play the Queen of the Kingdom of Women. Now they didn't let her play, saying she didn't meet the requirements." Tian Yueyue heard some gossip and told Jiang Moli about it. Tian Yueyue didn't say it out loud, but only said it in the hotel room, "I heard from the crew that the person went to the crew again a few days ago, but the director still didn't let her play the role. She left very angry."

Tian Yueyue didn't know who that person was, and no one told her.

"This..." Jiang Moli thought of some news from her previous life, and she didn't expect that such a thing would happen in this crew in this life.

Jiang Moli was already here, so she couldn't possibly say no. The crew had been waiting for her, so of course she had to come. Jiang Moli had originally thought this was a parallel universe, and some things might not happen, but she didn't expect it to happen anyway.

Based on Jiang Moli's experience over the years, not everything follows the trajectory that Jiang Moli heard in her previous life. There are still some differences. Jiang Moli wondered if she was too relaxed and didn't pay much attention to these things. However, if Jiang Moli really knew in advance, she would still come. Even if Jiang Moli didn't come, the director would not let that actress go on.

Directors of this era have their own beliefs. Many of them insist on choosing the right people and reject the unsuitable ones. Some directors even trick actors into playing roles just to create a better visual effect.

"How about I ask again?" Tian Yueyue asked, "Should I find out?"

"No need." Jiang Moli said, "That person didn't come to bother me, which shows that she is very sensible. She just wanted to try, and she also knew who the problem was."

"Aren't you afraid that she will make things difficult for you later?" Tian Yueyue originally thought that Jiang Moli would ask her to find out more.

"No." Jiang Moli said, "She won't."

Jiang Moli believed that person. They were all women, and they were not brainless. They all knew where the problem lay and who to target.

"Then she won't." Tian Yueyue didn't continue to ask Jiang Moli why she wouldn't. She chose to listen to Jiang Moli.

Jiang Moli called Sheng Jiahao only after Tian Yueyue went back to her room to rest. She lived in a single room and did not live with anyone else, so she did not have to worry about being overheard by others when she called Sheng Jiahao.

"How do you feel? Is it hard?" Sheng Jiahao asked.

"It's still a bit hard." Jiang Moli said, "This is a very distinctive role, and it needs to be played well. Sometimes it's just repetitive. The director's words are not bad, so it's okay."

If the assistant director and the others heard what Jiang Moli said, they would definitely say that the director's words were indeed unpleasant and sometimes very fierce. Perhaps because Jiang Moli came from an opera background and had been scolded by the director since she was a child, Jiang Moli thought the director was okay.

When everyone was filming together at the studio, if someone performed poorly, the director would be very unhappy and would say something unpleasant. Jiang Moli was used to it. You know, at the studio, whether it was the lead actor or a minor character, the director would dare to speak directly. The director might be more friendly to the main characters and less friendly to others. This was all very normal. There were certain unspoken rules in their industry.

"The weather is getting hot and cold, so remember to dress appropriately and don't catch a cold," said Sheng Jiahao.

"I know, you too." Jiang Moli said, "How are my parents?"

"Everything is fine." Sheng Jiahao said, "Mom got some cucumber seedlings and said she was going to plant some melons. She also caught a few chicks and ducks. She also caught a few chicks for the neighbors."

"Ah?" Jiang Moli was surprised. "Old lady of the Wen family?"

"Yes, that's right." Sheng Jiahao nodded.

"Chicks are very good at scratching the ground, making holes one after another. Where the chicks go, flowers and grass may not grow well." Jiang Moli said, "Isn't there a bare patch of land in our backyard? It's where we raise chickens. Mom caught some chicks for the old lady next door. Did Mrs. Wen accept them?"

"My subordinates said they wanted to let the chicks eat flower petals to see if the chickens taste good after eating flowers." Sheng Jiahao said.

"Well, don't we have a lot of flowers planted at home?" Jiang Moli said.

"Our family is our family, and the family next door is the family next door. We don't have as many flowers and plants as the family next door." Sheng Jiahao said, "They have already discussed it and said that when the chickens grow up, we will exchange them for food."

"..." Jiang Moli felt that her mother was really amazing. She could even get Old Lady Wen next door to raise chickens with her. "Didn't Mom catch the geese?"

"No." Sheng Jiahao said, "Mom said geese are very fierce and will bite people. Mom also said that when you were a kid, you would stay away from animals like dogs. Geese have a bad reputation, so I won't keep them hungry. This way, you won't be afraid to go downstairs and hide in your room."

"That's not an exaggeration." Jiang Moli laughed, "I'm familiar with the goose now, so it won't call at me anymore."

"Mom said she doesn't want to raise geese." Sheng Jiahao said.

"Okay." Jiang Moli said, "I don't know how big those chicks and ducklings will be by the time I get back."

"It will be bigger, not so small." Sheng Jiahao said.

"Yeah." Jiang Moli's hands were wrapped around the phone cord. "Are you going on a business trip soon?"

"I'm going to the capital in a couple of days," Sheng Jiahao said. "It's a pity it's not going to your place."

"It doesn't matter if you didn't come to my place." Jiang Moli said, "You are not allowed to mess around outside."

"Waiting for you." Sheng Jiahao couldn't possibly look for another woman outside. He knew what he wanted.

Jiang Moli chatted with Sheng Jiahao for a long time before hanging up the phone. Jiang Moli still had to pay the phone bill afterwards.

When Jiang Moli returned, Zhou Yiran had given birth to a son.

Jiang Moli went to see Zhou Yiran, and Zhou Yiran still disliked her son.

"Why not a daughter?" Zhou Yiran said, "I still prefer a daughter. A daughter can lie down more comfortably. If it's a son, we'll have to prepare a house for him and a dowry for him. Nowadays, when men get married, they want a TV, a refrigerator, a sewing machine, and so many other things. When my son gets married, he'll need even more things. Doesn't that mean his father and I have to work harder and make more money?"

"Let him earn money and marry a wife when he grows up." Jiang Moli said, "You don't need to earn it all for him."

"Of course I don't need it." Zhou Yiran said, "My mom told me to work harder and save some money for him."

"It's okay, you still have your parents-in-law." Jiang Moli said, "People nowadays live longer. When buying a house, if you don't have money, you can take out a loan."

"Loans require interest," Zhou Yiran said. "It's better to save more money yourself. It's such a headache. It's better to have a daughter. He Jingxian already has two daughters, and now she wants a third. I don't know if it will be a girl or a boy."

"The third one?" Jiang Moli was shocked.

"Yes, she's going to have her third child." Zhou Yiran said, "And you, you haven't even had your first child yet."

"I'm not in a hurry," Jiang Moli said. "It's still not too late to get pregnant next year. I can have another child around 1990. It doesn't matter if it's a boy or a girl. I've already had one, so I don't plan on having a second one."

"That's good." Zhou Yiran said, "If you give birth to a daughter, we can become in-laws. That's not right!"

"What's wrong?" Jiang Moli was puzzled. "I don't have to have a son. A daughter is fine too."

"Arranged marriages are no longer important these days; people are more likely to fall in love freely," Zhou Yiran said. "Even if you have a daughter, you still have to let them fall in love freely. If they don't like each other, then they won't be together."

"The child is still so young, and you are already thinking about things so far in the future." Jiang Moli said.

"It's all because of my mom. After she told me all those things, I haven't slept well for several nights." Zhou Yiran said, "Kids are always noisy and always wake up."

"Such a young child would be hungry and wake up from hunger." Jiang Moli said.

"I know, but...sigh, giving birth to a son is also difficult." Zhou Yiran said, "There are so many things to prepare for the child. I don't want to prepare so many things for the child at all. I want to prepare less for the child, but I can't do that."

"It's not impossible. As long as you relax a little, it will be fine." Jiang Moli looked at Zhou Yiran's anxious expression and couldn't help but think that Zhou Yiran usually lay very flat, but now for a child, Zhou Yiran was thinking about these things. "As parents, we always think more about our children. But you don't have to worry too much. Your man is here."

"He's just an elementary school teacher, and he doesn't make much," Zhou Yiran said. "With my level, I can't keep singing forever. Jasmine, do you think I should find something else to do?"

"If you can't keep singing, then switch to administration." Jiang Moli said, "With your mother around, it's still possible to switch to administration."

"Okay, okay." Zhou Yiran said, "I don't want to end up like He Jingxian's second aunt."

"You won't." Jiang Moli said.

"That's not certain. When I get older, I might become like that," Zhou Yiran said. "It's hard to say. You're better off the way you are. You've won awards and are filming. Your future is bright."

"You're still young, not too old. Think about the future later, don't think about it now." Jiang Moli said, "After giving birth, a woman's hormones change, and she tends to overthink. You should think less, and don't let others' words keep you thinking. If you do that, you will be very painful."

"It's my mom. She insisted on saying those things. She just dislikes me for not being ambitious enough and not working hard enough." Zhou Yiran sighed. "After you won the award, my mom said I still have some strengths. That is, I have a good eye for talent. If I can't win the award myself, then I will make friends with winners."

Jiang Moli was amused by Zhou Yiran's words, "She said that because you are mother and daughter."

"Yes, if it weren't for her being my mother, I wouldn't listen to what she said." Zhou Yiran said, "It's because she is my mother that I listen to what she said."

"Yeah." Jiang Moli nodded.

Jiang Moli chatted with Zhou Yiran for a while, then she went back home. Jiang Moli saw Jiang's mother sitting in the living room watching TV and asked, "Where's Dad?"

"Your father is weeding in the backyard," Jiang's mother said. "Has he returned from Yaran's place?"

"Yes, she gave birth to a son, and she said that he would require a lot of expenses, including a betrothal gift, a house, and many other things for the child," Jiang Moli said. "She counted them one by one on her fingers. When I heard her count, I felt horrified. She actually wanted so many things."

"It's not scary," Jiang's mother said. "Even if you're not married, you still need food and shelter. Look at your brother, isn't he living well now? The child has just been born, so you don't need to worry so much. The most important thing now is to raise the child and keep him healthy."

"Yeah." Jiang Moli said, "Anyway, the child will grow up. If the child wants those things, the child will work hard on his own. At worst, he will get married later. Besides, Yaran's in-laws are from a good family and have a city hukou, so he doesn't have to worry about not being able to find a wife."

Jiang Moli felt that Zhou Yiran was just worrying too much. The child was still so young, so there was no need to worry too much.

At this time, Shi Nan brought a girlfriend back home, and that girlfriend was indeed a college student. After all, Shi Nan didn't want others to laugh at him too much, so he still had to find a female college student, even if he was a second marriage, he could still find a female college student.

This time, the woman was already pregnant before she married Shi Nan.

All the neighbors knew that the woman was pregnant. She had looked down at her belly several times and was seen by others. People started to speculate. When someone asked her, the woman said that she was indeed pregnant.

This is outrageous. If one person knows about it, it means that everyone on this street will know about it soon.

When the mother learned that everyone outside knew that the woman was pregnant, she was very angry. She was originally somewhat satisfied with the woman, but when she learned that she was pregnant, her expression changed.

How unself-respecting!

The female college student is so unrespectful to herself that she is eager to get pregnant with a man's child before getting married. Does this female college student really want to stay in the city and cling to Shi Nan?

After Shi Nan's girlfriend went back, Shi's mother again spoke ill of Shi Nan's girlfriend in front of Shi Nan.

"You two aren't even married yet," Shi's mother said. "I think her family didn't teach her well. She's so unruly. I called her, but she looked at you instead of looking at me. She has no respect for me, her future mother-in-law, at all."

"She's a female college student," Shi Nan said, "not a technical secondary school graduate."

"Without rules, even for female college students, they're useless," Shi's mother said. "Do you know what people said when I went out just now? They said you were really capable, that you slept with her so quickly and even got her pregnant. I think they were just laughing at you, for being forced into marriage by someone using your pregnancy as a pretext!"

Shi's mother was unhappy because it meant her son had no choice but to marry this so-called female college student. She had originally wanted to test the woman and tell her not to think that a female college student was anything special.

"Why did you find such a person?" asked Shi's mother.

"You don't like her, do you want me to change someone else?" Shi Nan said.

"Mom doesn't really want you to find someone else, it's just... if she's like this, is the baby in her belly yours?" Shi's mother said, "Don't tell me she's with someone else, and then she says the baby in her belly is yours. Didn't Jiang Moli's father raise someone else's child for so many years in vain? Jiang Yuqin is not Jiang Moli's father's biological daughter at all, she's the bastard born to Jin Manzhi and another man!"

Shi's mother didn't want her son to raise a child for another man. Her son deserved the best.

"I understand." Shi Nan said.

Less than half a month later, Shi Nan brought back a box and handed it to Shi's mother. Shi's mother thought Shi Nan was giving her a gift, so she happily opened it. However, she didn't expect that there was a fully formed male fetus inside. She screamed in fright, and the fully formed male fetus fell to the ground.

"I broke up with my girlfriend. She was a college student and didn't respect herself. She was with me without getting married. She didn't deserve to enter our house and didn't deserve to have my child." Shi Nan said.

Shi's mother didn't expect Shi Nan to say such a thing. Her face turned pale, while Shi Nan was very calm. Shi's mother suddenly felt that Shi Nan was very unfamiliar. She didn't dare to look at Shi Nan's cold eyes again, for fear that Shi Nan would lose his temper. Shi's mother took a few steps back and sat on the chair, not even daring to get too close to Shi Nan.

Shi Nan did it on purpose. He was fed up with his mother, who always criticized the women around him and was very picky. This time, it wasn't that the female college student couldn't have the child, but Shi Nan had forced her to have an abortion. He didn't want the child and thought it was meaningless.

Shi Nan's mental state has changed a lot, and he is no longer the same person he was before. Shi Nan is not short of money, and he can get women whenever he wants. A man like him who looks righteous is still very popular with women.

This time, the reason why Shi Nan thought of doing this was because the last time the Bai family sent him a bloody cloth, it gave Shi Nan inspiration.

"Mom, what kind of daughter-in-law do you like?" Shi Nan said, "If you are not satisfied with the one I brought back, just tell me and we can change her."

Shi Nan's behavior eventually got out. It was when Shi's mother talked about it with others that others heard and spread it. Shi's mother was upset. She had never expected Shi Nan to do that. This made her afraid to say what kind of daughter-in-law she liked, nor did she dare to say what kind of girlfriend Shi Nan should not look for.

That was a fully formed male fetus. Shi's mother felt that Shi Nan was too cruel. Even if Shi Nan didn't want that woman anymore, he could still let her give birth to the child.

When Jiang's mother went to collect rent, she heard what others said. Niu Cuihua also said a few words, which made Jiang's mother not stay there for too long. Jiang's mother hurried back.

When Jiang Moli returned home, her mother pulled her to a corner and told her about Shi Nan.

"I think Shi Nan is crazy. Don't get close to Shi Nan from now on, understand?" Jiang's mother said, "You absolutely must not get close to him. He's a lunatic! How can a son treat his mother that way, and how can a father treat his unborn child that way?"

"..." Jiang Moli opened her eyes wide, she couldn't believe her ears.

"This is true." Jiang's mother said, "Shi Nan is really cruel."

"How did it become like this?" Jiang Moli asked.

"I guess his mother is meddling too much," Jiang's mother said. "Shi Nan has gone crazy over and over again."

"He..." Jiang Moli opened her mouth but didn't know what to say. She felt that Shi Nan was too scary.

"I heard it today," Jiang's mother said. "Shi Nan used to like you and confessed his feelings to you. Who knows what he would think? Don't get close to him. If you see him from a distance, stay away."

"Yeah." Jiang Moli nodded, "Mom, if you don't want to go over, just let my brother and the others help clean up the house, and they can bring it over when they are free."

"Your father and I still have to go collect the rent," Jiang's mother said. "Although your brother and sister-in-law are doing well now, it's best not to let this money pass through them. Money can be tempting, so don't test them with money. Even a little, not much, is not acceptable."

Jiang's mother didn't want any other misunderstandings to arise. "If I go over there, I can also see those people and talk to them. The neighbors here don't talk much, while the neighbors over there talk a lot. It's nice to listen to them talk occasionally."

"Now that you're back, it's a good opportunity to tell others about it." Jiang Moli said.

"I don't know those people, so it's okay for me to say a few words." Jiang's mother said, "Remember what I said. Be careful with Shi Nan. You must be on guard against him."

"Okay." Jiang Moli said. She felt a little nauseous and scared when she heard what her mother said.

Sheng Jiahao didn't take Shi Nan seriously at all. Shi Nan's company wasn't in the same industry as Sheng Jiahao's, but that company had some aspirations of making the same products. Sheng Jiahao didn't bother to intervene. It wasn't like his factory was the only one capable of producing those products; other factories could do the same. Sheng Jiahao wasn't the type to be self-centered. He knew that the company's sudden desire to produce those products was somehow related to Shi Nan.

Sheng Jiahao didn't stop them. He wanted to see how far those people could go. Crossing industries is not an easy thing.

Shi Nan himself does not have much ability, and he has not been working for many years, so he can't do much.

That company quickly abandoned the idea of ​​collaborating with Sheng Jiahao and decided not to produce the same product. Sheng Jiahao wasn't entirely clear on what happened in between. He'd only heard about it from others and had done some research, but didn't know the details.

Sheng Jiahao didn't tell Jiang Moli about those things, so Jiang Moli didn't know anything about them. Sheng Jiahao tried his best to protect Jiang Moli and let her worry less about those things. Jiang Moli just had to do what she wanted to do.

At night, Jiang Moli leaned in Sheng Jiahao's arms and told her mother what she had heard. "It's terrible that this man has become like that."
