When you usually see Wang Jingxian, she always has a flamboyant look on her face. Although she likes to do bad things to frame others, there is a kind of innocence in her eyes.
It's like the kind of 'clear-sounding stupidity' described online.
Tonight, Wang Jingxian's gaze, even from afar, revealed a chilling coldness—a gaze one could only possess after weathering many storms.
But how could Wang Jingxian, a pampered heiress from a wealthy family, have experienced any storms in such a short period of time?
Jiang Ran felt something was off, but she didn't know how to describe the feeling.
She turned her head and glanced over there again. Wang Jingxian was eating the food on her plate with her head down, her face indifferent but cold.
In the past, if Wang Jingxian saw Huo Siyan here, she would definitely run to him, even if she didn't get anything good out of him, she would still come to say something.
Today, she was surprised to see Huo Siyan so calm.
"What's wrong?" Huo Siyan, who was opposite her, noticed that something was wrong with her.
Jiang Ran shook her head: "It's nothing. I just saw your childhood sweetheart and was curious why she didn't come to greet you today."
Huo Siyan's eyes narrowed, and he explained slowly, "She is not my childhood sweetheart."
"Are you explaining this to me?" Jiang Ran raised an eyebrow. "Actually, there's no need. I won't interfere in your private life. Our relationship is just that of business partners."
"..." Huo Siyan's eyes darkened, and he pushed a dish in front of her: "Eat quickly."
As they finished eating and were about to leave, Wang Jingxian and her mother stood up on the other side, and coincidentally bumped into each other.
Wang's mother, however, was quite generous: "Oh, it's Si Yan. What a coincidence that you're here to eat too."
Huo Siyan nodded slightly, without saying anything more.
Surprisingly, Wang Jingxian didn't say a word at this point; instead, she pulled her mother away.
Wang's mother was very happy. Jingxian was her most beloved daughter. Ever since she learned that Huo Siyan was getting engaged, she had been losing her appetite and venting her anger at home all day long. Wang's mother was worried that Jingxian would not be able to get over it.
Now it's all right. Judging from how cold she was to Huo Siyan just now, it seems she has already let go.
As they walked, Wang's mother whispered to her, "Jingxian, you did a great job. You are my pride. Siyan is not right for you. You will definitely meet someone who loves you well in the future."
Jiang Xinrou found these words grating.
No one will love her anymore...
If anyone knew her true identity, they would all stay far away and despise her.
Her past is like a horrible, ugly scar.
With her face so scarred and broken, who would love her?
She no longer craves love.
Her mind was filled with hatred; her only purpose in life was revenge!
She would do anything, no matter the cost, to get revenge!
"Mom..." Jiang Xinrou suddenly spoke, looking at Wang's mother, "Could you give me some more money?"
With a loving expression, Wang's mother took out a bank card from her bag and handed it to her: "Take this. There are ten million in here. Use it to buy some things you like and relax."
Ten million is far from enough.
Jiang Xinrou pursed her lips: "Mom, could you give me some more?"
Wang's mother looked puzzled: "Jingxian, what do you need so much money for? Have you spent all your allowance this month? Your allowance plus this ten million is fifteen million! You're only twenty-three years old, what do you need to buy that requires such a large expense?"
"It's nothing, never mind."
Jiang Xinrou turned away coldly, it seemed that relying on the Wang family was no longer an option.
Wang's mother gives her five million yuan a month for spending money, which is indeed a lot for ordinary people, but it is far from enough for her.
She needs a lot of money to carry out her revenge plan, and what the Wang family gave her is far from enough.
Suddenly, she seemed to remember something, and a glint of light flashed in her eyes.
The next day.
Jiang's mother was hunched over, rummaging through the trash can for cardboard boxes that she could sell, all the while muttering curses under her breath.
Jiang Ran, that little bitch!
It's all her fault for asking the security guards to arrest her that day. In her haste, she tripped and fell on her bottom, almost breaking her old bones.
Why is her life so miserable... Her son, whom she could rely on, was killed by that little bitch Jiang Ran. Now she is beaten by that heartless Xu Yaowei every day. She wants to run away, but where can she run to?
Now that she's older, she can't find any work, and when someone finally does hire her, they refuse after learning she's Jiang Minghui's mother.
Therefore, she can only rummage through trash cans under the scorching sun every day to find some scraps to sell.
Just then, a figure suddenly appeared behind her.
Jiang's mother was startled and turned around to find a young and beautiful woman standing in front of her.
She snorted coldly and said irritably, "What are you doing? Do you think you can take this piece of trash from an old woman like me?"
Jiang Xinrou looked at her coldly, her brows furrowed tightly, and the disdain in her eyes was overflowing.
"Come with me, I have something to ask you."
Jiang's mother looked wary: "What are you doing? Are you trying to trick me into coming over so you can take over these cardboard boxes?"
Jiang Xinrou took a deep breath, her chest heaving violently.
She pulled a hundred-yuan bill from her bag and threw it in her face: "Can you come with me now?"
Jiang's mother happily picked up the hundred-yuan note, her eyes darting around quickly before she said, trying to sound clever, "You're definitely up to something! Give me three hundred yuan and I'll go over!"
"..." Jiang Xinrou was so angry that her face turned white, and she took out two more hundred-yuan bills and threw them on the ground.
How did she end up in this state?
Didn't Dad say he invested in the Xu family's project in his own name?
She had wanted to get that money back for a long time, but she was just too scared.
She was terrified that if she returned to City A, she would be recognized, and then she would surely die.
She barely escaped, so why would she go back to die?
Before she became someone else, she didn't dare to take any risks, so even though she had a very difficult time all these years, she never dared to return to City A.
This money is now very useful to her; she needs a large sum of money for revenge, and it's time to put it to use.
Jiang Minghui was somewhat prescient back then, secretly keeping this sum of money.
She had heard him say back then that the Xu family's projects were extremely profitable, and that they could recoup their investment in just one year. Now, four years had passed, and that 5 billion should have grown to 20 billion by now.
Two hundred billion—that's enough for her to carry out her long-prepared revenge plan.
Jiang Ran, Shen Qingwan, Jiang Huaijing, Jiang Qinghe, and those two old hags from the Shen family—she will make them pay back for all the pain they've inflicted on her over the years, bit by bit!
Those bastards, none of them will escape!
