Chapter 124 It's all over, Jiang Xixi has been driven mad by the shock!
Jiang Yurou raised an eyebrow and smiled smugly.
You wouldn't believe it, my dear sister, but even without you, I was still able to come to the capital and live a life of luxury.
At this moment, Jiang Yurou had become much thinner than when Jiang Xixi had seen her before. Her complexion was rosy, and her expression and movements revealed a sense of smugness.
"Little sister? Xixi, do you know Miss Yurou?" Chen Yi looked at the two of them with some surprise.
Jiang Xixi nodded, but before she could say anything, Jiang Yurou next to her said sarcastically, "I know her, how could I not know her? Jiang Xixi is my own sister, the sister who wouldn't lend a helping hand to her older sister who was stuck in the mud."
"What? Sister Yu Rou, she's your beastly younger sister?" After hearing her savior's words, Liu Xinuan looked at Jiang Xixi with particularly unfriendly eyes.
She had heard from Yu Rou that when she was giving birth, her life was in danger and she urgently needed a blood transfusion, and her own sister just stood by and watched her die.
This person is so cold-hearted!
"Xi Nuan, what are you saying?" Chen Yi gently slapped her daughter, whom she had finally found, and gave Jiang Xixi a somewhat embarrassed and apologetic smile.
Mrs. Jiang, who was standing next to her, knew that what her niece said was wrong, but she couldn't bear to say harsh words to the child who had been lost for many years. So she quietly took Jiang Yurou's hand and gently comforted her.
Jiang Yurou, who was standing nearby, watched this scene and sneered.
Jiang Xixi, I thought you were so powerful. Didn't you have so many powerful backers?
As a result, once I made a move, they all had to leave you. The taste of betrayal is not pleasant, is it?
Don't worry, this is just the first step. I will definitely take away all the people you care about and long for from your side. You are just a dusty little stone, yet you dare to compete with me, the bright moon. You are overestimating yourself!
I will repay you a thousandfold for all the suffering you have inflicted upon me!
As Jiang Yurou wished, Jiang Xixi was indeed feeling a bit bad at this moment. All along, Mrs. Jiang had unconditionally stood by her side. This was the first time that she had to swallow her grievances because of another person.
And then there's Chen Yi. I don't know why, but I always have a strange fondness for her.
But at this moment, seeing the obvious protection the two men showed for Liu Xinuan, Jiang Xixi felt a chill in her heart.
However, she could understand it. After all, Liu Xinuan was their long-lost daughter and niece, and she herself had no blood relation to her. She could understand why they weren't on her side.
But what did she do wrong?
Why should she, Liu Xinuan, be the one to scold her?
Jiang Xixi was about to retort when Wei Laicheng, who was standing next to her, acted even faster, saying, "Who are you calling a beast?"
"Of course I'm cursing you~ You're cursing me?" Liu Xinuan realized that Wei Laicheng was cursing her, and she was full of disbelief. You know, ever since she returned to the Liu family, everyone has treated her like a treasure and no one dares to say a bad word to her.
But this person actually dared to curse her with such vile language.
Her expression changed instantly, transforming from a fierce and domineering woman to a delicate and vulnerable one. She nestled in Chen Yi's arms and said aggrievedly, "Mom, he scolded me. Do you all not want me to come back? I know, I'll leave now."
I've figured it out. From now on, even if I have to eat grass roots and clay in the village, I won't come looking for you. I don't want to cause you any trouble."
Hearing her daughter, whom she had finally regained, nestled in her arms and saying these heart-wrenching words, Chen Yi felt incredibly distressed. She immediately abandoned all elegance and poise and spoke directly to Jiang Xixi and her husband.
"This is my daughter. It's none of your business to lecture her. Jiaxin, I asked you to come back and see your niece. Why did you bring these two complete strangers with you?"
She completely forgot that just a few months ago, she was holding Jiang Xixi's arm, and the two of them had an intimacy that was even closer than that of mother and daughter.
Mrs. Jiang was now in a dilemma. In fact, she was somewhat blaming Wei Laicheng. He had only been scolded once, and his wife hadn't said anything. Yet he, a grown man, had such a foul mouth. Now what was she going to do?
On one hand, there's her niece, whom she's been searching for for years and has finally found again; on the other hand, there's her apprentice, whom she's treated like her own son for many years. What sins did she commit in her past life to have to face such a choice?
Seeing the third glance from his teacher's wife, Jiang Xixi and her husband felt a chill in their hearts. Sure enough, they had been abandoned once again.
Both of them are people who care about their reputation, and neither of them could bring themselves to go after being treated like that.
“Master, Master’s wife, I bought a house in the capital last time I came here. We’re going home now. The house is near Kyoto University. You can come and visit it when you have time.”
Jiang Xixi was still mindful of Mrs. Jiang's feelings and didn't go too far, trying her best to maintain a semblance of peace.
Mrs. Jiang also visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's good. I'll come visit you when my teacher's wife has time."
The matter ended abruptly, leaving a lingering rift between them.
As Jiang Xixi walked with her luggage to the corner of the intersection, she seemed to sense something and looked back.
Sure enough, the gloating expression on Jiang Yurou's face through the window of a passing car made one's teeth itch with hatred.
Jiang Xixi glanced at Jiang Yurou with a somewhat deep look in her eyes.
Something's not right. In her previous life, after the college entrance examination, Jiang Yurou stayed in the countryside and never came to the capital. In this life, as a labor reformer, how did she come to the capital? And why is she involved with Liu Xinuan, whom the Liu family just found? Moreover, it seems that Liu Xinuan has extraordinary trust and importance over Jiang Yurou.
What exactly happened here?
Another question is, is Liu Xinuan really the Liu family's daughter?
Could the major blows the Liu family suffered in the previous life be related to the return of this so-called true heiress?
Jiang Xixi was caught up in a mental storm. She walked along the road, constantly thinking about these things, and her face showed that she was deep in thought.
This made Wei Laicheng, who was standing next to him, somewhat worried.
He watched as his wife's short legs strode quickly ahead, and just as she was about to bump her head into a large rock, he rushed forward and pulled her back. With a worried look, he asked, "Honey, are you alright?"
“My teacher’s wife values this niece very much. After all, she is my teacher’s wife’s own niece, while I am just her disciple. Wife, don’t get hung up on this.”
It's a fact that my teacher's wife is very good to us; she might be even better to others, that's also a fact. We can't interfere with her decisions. We just need to do our best and have a clear conscience.
Wei Laicheng was genuinely afraid that his wife would become stubborn like he had been when he was a child. Parents might favor one of their children, let alone their master and mistress who were not related by blood.
It is said that love is ever-changing, and sometimes the same is true for family affection. He loves you, but you can't deny that when facing another person, you are always the one who is left behind.
This is a lesson that Wei Laicheng has learned over many years. The bitterness and tears involved are indescribable, so he doesn't want his wife to go through it.
Jiang Xixi was taken aback when she heard Wei Laicheng's words.
? ? ?
Three question marks slowly appeared on Jiang Xixi's forehead. Could this guy really think that he's been suffering because his master's wife is biased towards him?
Is it really necessary?
Could she really be such a fragile figure in Wei Laicheng's eyes?
However, Jiang Xixi is not in the mood to argue with Wei Laicheng about this issue. She has made a big discovery that requires Wei Laicheng's cooperation.
"Wei Laicheng, do you think Liu Xinuan has any resemblance to the rest of the Liu family? Don't you think her appearance is a bit too coincidental?"
Upon hearing this, Wei Laicheng's eyes immediately filled with terror.
Oh no, my wife has gone mad from all the stress!
