"We all saw it. Shaohua always forced Xiaoxiao to work hard in order to prevent others from looking down on her and her daughter."
"That child has never gone to bed before midnight since she started primary school. In addition to doing homework at school, Shaohua would also give her extra homework."
"Xiaoxiao also understands Shaohua's painstaking efforts and has been working very hard."
"But I feel sorry for that child. He should be lively and cheerful at this age, but he has a heavy burden on his back that he can't take off."
"We all advised Shaohua not to push the child so hard."
"But Shaohua is so cruel to herself. Xiaoxiao feels sorry for her, but she has to bear the sadness by herself."
Shen Mingzhu never thought that the truth would be so cruel.
Perhaps this is also the reason why Jiang Xiaoxiao is in pain.
As for the situation on Zhang Yan's side, Shen Mingzhu could guess it without even asking.
Zhang Yan was instructed by Shen Yuan to approach Xiao Xiao.
Xiaoxiao was very depressed and miserable because of her mother's strict education.
The appearance of Zhang Yan is like the light in Xiaoxiao's life. His kindness and coaxing methods make Xiaoxiao willing to open her heart to him.
But she didn't know that there was a situation called the broken window effect. The pain that she took the initiative to tell Zhang Yan became a sharp knife stabbing at her, or the kind that she handed to him with her own hands.
Thinking of this, murderous intent flashed in Shen Mingzhu's eyes. No matter whether it was Zhang Yan or Shen Yuan behind him, she would make them pay the price.
"Sister, have some water!" Azhi smiled brightly and handed the cup to Shen Mingzhu.
Shen Mingzhu withdrew her thoughts and resumed her gentle smile.
"Thank you Aunt Li for telling me this. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
As soon as Shen Mingzhu walked out of the community, she received a message from Ji's driver.
That was one of the last times he asked him to take Shen Mingzhu to the Shen family, but the car broke down not far from the Shen family villa, and Shen Mingzhu said she would walk back.
The driver was worried, so he left Shen Mingzhu's contact information and asked Shen Mingzhu to tell him when she arrived.
“Miss Shen, do you remember me? I’m the driver of the Ji family. Are you free today? The old lady wants to see you.”
"Yes, come here to pick me up." Shen Mingzhu sent him her location.
"Okay, please wait."
The driver finished sending the message and then looked at Ji Yuan.
“Miss Shen agreed, I’ll go pick her up.”
Ji Yuan nodded and said, "Go ahead. Grandma asked me to arrange this. Once you pick her up, it will be almost done."
The Ji family's driver did not suspect anything and drove to pick up Shen Mingzhu.
After he left the room, Ji Yuan knocked on the door of Old Lady Ji's room with a smile on her face, "Grandma, Shen Mingzhu just told me that she will come to see you today."
Madam Ji was reading a book. When she heard this, she looked up at Ji Yuan and said, "That's good. This child is thoughtful."
"Then I won't bother you. I'll go and see about preparing afternoon tea for you."
Ji Yuan walked out of the room with a distorted expression.
"Grandma is really biased. She didn't even look at me when I came in, but she reacted when she heard the name of that bitch Shen Mingzhu!"
"I want to see if grandma can still be nice to Shen Mingzhu after she stood her up."
Ji Yuan also found out by chance that the Ji family’s driver had Shen Mingzhu’s contact information.
In addition, Madam Ji has been mentioning Shen Mingzhu intentionally or unintentionally these days.
Ji Yuan was so angry that her teeth were itching. Shen Mingzhu was lucky last time, but no one would help her this time!
Shen Mingzhu was taken to the Shen family by the driver, and another servant came to greet her.
"Is that Miss Shen? The old lady asked me to come over and show you the way."
Shen Mingzhu looked back at the driver, but he didn't react much, so this man should also be from the Ji family.
However, as this man led Shen Mingzhu, he felt something was wrong the further they walked.
"Isn't this the way to Madam Ji's place?"
The servant chuckled, “Miss Shen has a good memory.”
Two servants came out from the corner, and the three of them pushed Shen Mingzhu into a utility room, then locked the door and left.
Shen Mingzhu knocked on the door and shouted several times but no one responded.
"Hahahahahahahaha." The surveillance camera in the room moved and let out a triumphant laugh.
"Shen Mingzhu, just stay here. I will let you out when I feel better."
"Ji Yuan, are you an outlaw? How dare you do illegal detention?"
Unfortunately, there was no response from the monitoring.
Shen Mingzhu was really speechless. Ji Yuan was just a toad that didn't bite people. She didn't bite people but was disgusting!
This utility room has only one very high window, so it is not practical to climb out.
Shen Mingzhu looked around and found no breakthrough, so she could only sit on the ground helplessly.
Then she took out her cell phone, and sure enough, Ji Yuan was not so stupid that there was no cure.
At least she was given a signal jammer.
The purpose is to cut off her possibility of seeking help from the outside world.
However, Shen Mingzhu was not very worried. After all, he was just locked up and not suffering from mental or physical abuse.
Since I can't go out, I'll find a way to kill time.
Ji Yuan should just be teaching her a lesson and shouldn't be stupid enough to kill her in Ji's house.
The optimistic Shen Mingzhu soon lost her optimism.
When Shen Mingzhu looked at the time for the hundredth time, she indeed underestimated Ji Yuan's viciousness.
In this fast-paced era, she was so bored that she had to count how many things there were in the storage room, which was a mental torture.
All she could do was probably sleep and wait for Ji Yuan to show mercy and let her out.
There was no way anyone would come to rescue her anyway.
On the other side, Mrs. Ji had finished reading the book in her hand, and Ji Yuan also brought over afternoon tea.
But there was no sign of Shen Mingzhu.
"This child must have been delayed by something."
Old Madam Ji picked up another book and continued reading, just as Ji Ci called to ask about her situation.
"I'm fine, but Mingzhu said she would come to see me, but I waited for a long time but didn't see her. I wonder if something delayed her."
"Don't worry, I'll contact her."
Hearing Ji Ci say this, the old lady felt relieved.
Ji Ci hung up the phone and sent a message to Shen Mingzhu.
There was no message on his personal account until he got off work.
This Shen Mingzhu, she doesn’t even reply to the message?
As soon as Ji Ci got into the driver’s car, he called the housekeeper.
"Housekeeper, check when Shen Mingzhu said she was going to see the old lady, and why the old lady hasn't seen her yet."
The driver turned around in confusion, “Mr. Ji, Miss Shen arrived at the Ji family very early.”
Ji Ci took the phone away, "Are you sure?"
The driver nodded, then flipped through the chat history with Shen Mingzhu and showed it to Ji Ci, "I went to pick up Miss Shen in person. I waited for you downstairs in the company after I saw her enter the Ji family."
"Hello? Mr. Ji, are you still listening?" The housekeeper could not hear Ji Ci's voice.
"I'll send you a time period. Check the surveillance at home to see if Shen Mingzhu is at Ji's house." Ji Ci also realized that something was wrong.
"Okay, Mr. Ji, please wait a moment."
The housekeeper did as he was told, and then quickly called Ji Ci back, “Mr. Ji, Miss Shen did arrive at the Ji family a long time ago.”
