Chapter 17 Ignored by Her Own Son

Jiang Shiyuan turned around upon hearing the sound—

The door of the luxurious Mercedes-Benz van slowly opened, revealing a mother and son sitting side by side inside.

The woman wore an expensive haute couture burgundy dress, with an eye-catching imperial green pendant around her neck. She had a sharp chin and upturned eyebrows, giving her a striking and menacing appearance, and she bore a striking resemblance to Xie Jinghuai's mother.

She is Xie Jinghuai's younger sister, Xie Yuexi, the second young lady of the Xie family.

Tongtong actually saw Jiang Shiyuan at first glance.

Because her skin was so fair, like the milk she drank every night, she radiated a gentle glow under the bright sun, making her exceptionally beautiful and dazzling.

However, he was still angry with his mother, so he ignored her and waved to the woman in the nanny van.

"aunt!"

Xie Yuexi stepped out of the van and walked arrogantly to Jiang Shiyuan, who was dressed simply, giving her a disdainful look:

"Jiang Shiyuan, don't you think it's beneath you and a disgrace to the Xie family to come dressed like this to pick up our future heir?"

For five years, whether in public or in private, she has refused to call her "sister-in-law".

It's something I look down on from the bottom of my heart.

"No matter how high-end your clothes are, if you don't know how to match them and have no taste, it's like Pigsy wearing flowers, or an ugly person trying too hard."

Jiang Shiyuan looked straight ahead, calm and composed. "Has no one ever told Miss Xie that red and green clash terribly?"

"you--!"

Xie Yuexi's face turned red with anger, but Tongtong came over, so she could only suppress her rage.

In my memory, Jiang Shiyuan has always been at the very bottom of the Xie family pyramid, a soft persimmon that anyone can step on.

Why am I suddenly hard today, like I took Viagra?

"Mommy," Tongtong called out reluctantly to Jiang Shiyuan.

Jiang Shiyuan: "Mm."

Tongtong blinked her big eyes in confusion.

In the past, whenever his mother picked him up from kindergarten, she would always have so much to say, asking him about his studies or if he was feeling unwell, and she would chatter on and on.

Why are you so quiet today?

Hmph, better not to say anything. He doesn't want to listen to Mommy's useless nonsense!

"Tongtong, Great-Grandma and Grandma are back from abroad today. We're going to pick them up at the airport together." Xie Yuexi smiled warmly and bent down to pat Tongtong's head.

In the past, Jiang Shiyuan would have felt very uncomfortable seeing someone she disliked touching her son.

However, since she decided to leave the Xie family and break free from this exhausting relationship, she has felt much more at ease.

Tongtong is the "glorious ancestor" of the Xie family, and maintaining good relationships with Xie family members is an essential lesson for him.

fine.

"Wow! Great-Grandma and Grandma are back! That's wonderful!"

Tongtong clapped her hands happily, "I'm going to pick them up!"

"Tongtong, let's go." Jiang Shiyuan's voice was indifferent, revealing no emotion.

Tongtong frowned as she looked at the ordinary SUV her mother had driven, then turned to Xie Yuexi:

"Auntie, I want to go with you. We can play with the stars on the way!"

"Great! Xingxing really wants to play with Tongtong too."

Xie Yuexi took Tongtong's hand and glanced mockingly at Jiang Shiyuan, who was left standing to the side, "It seems that Tongtong prefers to be with me."

Next time, let's get a more presentable car. This one is just too unbecoming of someone who will become the future heir of the Xie family.

After saying that, Tongtong left with Xie Yuexi without even saying goodbye.

Jiang Shiyuan watched her son's retreating figure in silence for a long while before turning around and getting into her car.

The luxury van drove to the airport, and Tongtong and her cousin Xingxing played together.

Taking advantage of a moment when no one was looking, Xie Yuexi took out her phone and made a call to her secretary:

"What are your orders, Madam?"

Xie Yuexi lowered her voice, "Find a way, whether it's a car accident or an interception, to stall Jiang Shiyuan and prevent her from arriving at the airport on time."

On such an important day, if Jiang Shiyuan is late, her grandmother and mother will definitely be quite unhappy with her.

This woman, who was not worthy of being presented in public, had an even lower status in the Xie family!

"Yes, Madam, I'll take care of it right away!"

...

On the highway.

While driving, Jiang Shiyuan suddenly sensed something was wrong and abruptly looked up—

She saw in her rearview mirror that a black sedan suddenly accelerated and instantly drove alongside her!

Just as Jiang Shiyuan was about to floor the accelerator, the car, oblivious to its own danger, crashed into her side!

But she's not one to be trifled with.

Jiang Shiyuan's beautiful eyes darkened, she floored the accelerator, sharply turned the steering wheel with her left hand, and skillfully shifted gears with her right.

The operation was fluid and graceful, a feast for the eyes.

The SUV immediately distanced itself from the black sedan, and no matter how close the black sedan got, it couldn't get even a fraction closer to her.

The next second, the SUV, like a white lightning bolt, sped past the sedan and quickly created a large distance between them!

The subordinate was clearly not giving up and was about to give chase.

Just then, a Maybach suddenly changed lanes and blocked the black sedan's path.

"Damn it! Serves me right!"

His subordinates were so angry that they cursed him, completely extinguishing his hopes.

Jiang Shiyuan's car had long since disappeared without a trace.

On the other side, in the Maybach—

The man sitting in the back row casually crossed his long legs, his hand with distinct fingers holding a cigarette. With a gentle flick, the cigarette butt fell to the ground.

The driver wiped his sweat, his face beaming with excitement. "That was so cool! I felt like I was watching a Hong Kong crime thriller! The guy driving that white SUV was incredibly skilled; he must be a professional race car driver!"

Don't be so narrow-minded.

The man exhaled thick white smoke, which obscured his deeply etched features and handsome face. "The driver is a young lady."

The driver was shocked!

Such incredible driving skills, and she's a woman!

"How...how did you know..."

The man's thin lips curled slightly. "In the entire capital, there is absolutely no one with such driving skills."

...

Xie Yuexi, holding Tongtong's hand with her left hand and her son Xingxing's hand with her right, walked happily into the airport VIP lounge.

"Grandma, Mom! We..."

She froze, her eyes widening in disbelief!

Jiang Shiyuan was sitting gracefully on the sofa, not only unharmed, but also seemingly having arrived long ago.

How... is this possible?!

"The plane arrived a while ago. We've been waiting for you. Was there a traffic jam on the way?" Madam Xie asked, raising a delicately drawn eyebrow as she sipped her tea.

She has always held herself to high standards and strict requirements, even towards her own daughter.

"I...I was stuck in traffic." Xie Yuexi's expression was awkward and stiff.

"I heard from Shi Yuan that you all left from school together, so how come you're so much later?" That's just how Madam Xie is; once she gets hold of something, she'll dig to the bottom of it and never stop.

Xie Yuexi was so angry she felt like her head was about to burst into flames. She glared hatefully at Jiang Shiyuan's indifferent and calm face.

At this moment, the old lady looked around and asked in surprise:

"It's understandable that the son-in-law didn't come on official business, but why is Jinghuai nowhere to be seen either?"

Jiang Shiyuan also found it strange.

But she didn't explain for her husband as she used to.

"Mom, Zhixin is in some trouble. I don't know why, but she's been besieged by reporters."

Madam Xie put down her teacup and said gently, "Jinghuai was worried, so he rushed over to check on him."
