Chapter 154 Things Won't Be the Same Anymore

Jiang Shiyuan stared coldly at the seemingly innocent woman in front of her, who was crying her eyes out. Recalling the investigation results Ye Yu had told her, her gaze turned into two sharp icy blades, stabbing with hatred into Lin Zhixin's delicate face.

"Don't be impatient. It's not that retribution won't come, it's just that the time hasn't come yet. One day, we will settle our score."

Lin Zhixin's heart skipped a beat, and her crystal-clear nails dug into her palm.

What did Jiang Shiyuan mean by saying this so suddenly? Could it be... that she suspects the kidnapping case is related to her?

How could that be!

With so many layers in between, she couldn't possibly have any evidence; it's just a bluff!

"Hey, Miss Jiang, aren't you going too far with those words?"

Shen Zhantang already looked down on Jiang Shiyuan, and seeing her entangled with all sorts of men, he felt even more contempt for her. He couldn't help but support Lin Zhixin, saying, "Zhixin has always respected you as her older sister, considered you as family, and always wanted to get along with you harmoniously."

Not only are you ungrateful, but you're also constantly targeting her and causing her trouble. Are you trying to drive Zhixin to her death?

Jiang Shiyuan's eyes were expressionless; he merely smiled slightly, yet it sent a chill down Lin Zhixin's spine.

"I didn't intend to force her to her death, but whether she intended to force me to my death, I don't know."

"Jiang Shiyuan."

Xie Jinghuai's voice was icy cold, and the deep-seated malice in his eyes seemed to be crushing her. "There's something Zhixin said that I wholeheartedly agree with: if you have grievances or dissatisfaction, you can take them out on me. Why make things difficult for the child?"

Jiang Shiyuan raised her cool and stubborn face to meet the man's furious phoenix eyes.

In the past, she would have felt very wronged.

But now, she only felt disgusted by his hypocritical sanctimoniousness.

"Tongtong has always been a child with a strong sense of self-esteem. Today, you went to hold a parent-teacher conference for Fu Chenzhou's son in front of all the parents and students, but left Tongtong standing aside. What exactly are you trying to do?"

Xie Jinghuai clenched his fist in anger. "He fainted because of a huge shock, an asthma attack that led to alkali poisoning. Do you know how harmful this is to a child's health? How could you treat a child's health like a joke?!"

"Tongtong was provoked. It's not that he cares about me, but that he can't stand how nice I am to Banban, and he feels like he's lost face in front of the whole class. Just like you, it's just an extreme and brutal possessiveness."

Jiang Shiyuan confronted the man, her eyes dark and lifeless. "Just as you never truly treated me as your wife, Xie Junheng never treated me as your mother either."

Xie Jinghuai's body, which was lurking under his suit, trembled slightly, as if he had been shot between the eyebrows by an arrow.

He couldn't control or describe the obscure feeling in his heart.

“I told you yesterday that I wouldn’t attend Tongtong’s parent-teacher conference, but you ignored me and insisted on going anyway. I know you never consider my thoughts and feelings, but I will no longer indulge you unconditionally, endlessly, and without limits like before.”

Jiang Shiyuan's lips curled up slightly, but it was like a sharp scimitar aimed at the man's throat. "If Lin Zhixin had come to the parent-teacher conference, none of this would have happened."

Tongtong likes her and needs her a thousand times more than I do. Why do you insist on forcing me to come? Why can't you just let your son have his way this once?

These words left Shen Zhantang, who was standing next to him, stunned.

Judging from Jiang Shiyuan's appearance, she doesn't seem to be jealous at all. She's even paving the way for Lin Zhixin, as if she's really given up on A Huai and his son.

After enduring hardship and clinging to Ah Huai for five years, has she finally shown some backbone, or is this just her way of playing hard to get?

This woman is quite cunning!

"Jiang Shiyuan, how can you be so ridiculous?"

Xie Jinghuai was amused by her words, "Tongtong is only five years old, just an innocent child. Why are you arguing with a child and taking it so seriously?"

"Sorry, that's just how I am. I like to argue and take things seriously. If you're unhappy, then hurry up and get a divorce certificate."

Jiang Shiyuan slowly stood up. She had only recently recovered, and her face was still somewhat pale and haggard. "Tongtong has never been a child who lacked love, and he has never needed a useless mother like me by his side. I have something to do, so I'll take my leave first."

No one can deceive themselves forever.

She had long since given up on the dream that Xie Jinghuai would fall in love with her, and she no longer considered herself to be the most important person to Tongtong.

"Aunt Jiang!"

"Ten yuan!"

Just as the atmosphere was tense, Su Xier hurriedly walked over from the other end of the corridor, holding Fu Yansi's small hand.

Jiang Shiyuan's beautiful eyes widened in surprise. "Xi'er? Why did you bring Banban along?"

Su Xier was surprised to find Shen Zhantang also present, and her expression froze. She secretly tightened her grip on Banban's hand.

Shen Zhantang's pupils suddenly darkened, revealing a chilling gloom that pressed closer and closer to Su Xier, threatening to crush her.

"I was the one who insisted that Aunt Su bring me here. I was worried about you, Aunt Jiang, so I wanted to come and see you."

Fu Yansi turned around and looked worriedly in the direction of the emergency room. "Aunt Jiang, Xie Junheng... he'll be alright, won't he?"

Jiang Shiyuan was touched and gently touched his cheek. "It'll be alright, thank you for your concern, Banban."

Fu Yansi was still somewhat worried.

Although Xie Junheng had bullied him and always looked down on him, he never wanted anything to happen to him.

Because he didn't want to hurt his beloved Aunt Jiang.

"Shiyuan, I just ran into that old hag leading a group of people in the parking lot. She looked so fierce that you'd think she was going to fight Lin Zhengying."

Su Xier whispered in her ear, her eyes filled with worry, "Yaozu got into trouble today. That old hag will probably cause you trouble again if she sees you. We should..."

Before the words were finished, a series of sharp footsteps rang out—

Accompanied by her special assistant Qin Zhao, Madam Xie glared angrily with her bloodshot eyes and stormed toward Jiang Shiyuan.
