Jiang Laoda is not feeling well.
He had his doubts, wondering why the child didn't look like him at all.
But that scoundrel had endless reasons, and even dragged the third brother into it, saying that the third brother's children didn't look like their father.
It's a shame he actually believed it back then.
Looking back now, I realize I was clearly using those words to deceive myself.
He didn't know how he left the house. After leaving the house, he walked straight away and wandered around until he somehow ended up in the brightly lit restaurant.
Upon seeing the alluring woman at the restaurant entrance, Boss Jiang blurted out, "Slut, they're all sluts."
This insult had serious consequences. Boss Jiang was immediately slapped across the face, so hard that he spun around like a top for several minutes before finally stopping.
"I'm a constable from the county government, how dare you hit me? Gu An'an, just you wait, I'll throw you in jail tomorrow!"
If it weren't for Gu An'an, how could he be like this now?
It's all that bitch's fault!
This insult made Bai Qiaoyin laugh. "You know Gu An'an?"
Only then did Boss Jiang realize that this woman looked different from Gu An'an.
"You're not Gu An'an, so who are you?"
Bai Qiaoyin's smile grew even brighter. "What, do you think I look a lot like Gu An'an?"
But no one has ever said that.
"No, no, you're much prettier than her."
Bai Qiaoyin had heard plenty of compliments, but this one sounded particularly pleasant. "You have good taste. What, do you have a grudge against Gu An'an?"
Upon hearing that familiar name, Boss Jiang gritted his teeth, "I have a blood feud with her."
If it weren't for Gu An'an's meddling, the children from the third son's family would have died long ago.
Where did all these unexpected complications come from?
How could he possibly raise someone else's child?
The thought that all of this was thanks to Gu An'an made Jiang Laoda grit his teeth in hatred.
What do those children have to do with her? Does she really think they'll be dutiful to her, their stepmother, when they grow up?
That's just wishful thinking!
"What a coincidence, I also have a bit of a grudge against Gu An'an."
These words made Jiang Laoda's eyes light up. Only then did he notice that the woman in front of him had a slender and well-proportioned figure, and was much prettier than his two wives.
"Then I am truly destined to meet this lady."
How could someone who frequents the red-light district not notice the change in Boss Jiang's tone?
Bai Qiaoyin still had a smile on her face. "Yes, it's really a rare coincidence. It would be a shame if we didn't have a drink together. Come on, I'll treat you to a drink."
Before them stood the Taibai Restaurant. Looking at the smiling woman, Boss Jiang felt a surge of heroic spirit. But as he stepped forward, he suddenly asked, "You wouldn't happen to be someone hired by this restaurant to sell wine, would you?"
Bai Qiaoyin almost lost her composure when she heard this question.
"How much do you think a restaurant would have to pay to hire me to sell alcohol?"
Jiang hesitated for a moment, his gaze sweeping over Bai Qiaoyin, looking at her fair wrists, which seemed to defy the elements. He hesitated and asked, "Ten taels of silver a month?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Qiaoyin was furious. "Ten taels of silver?"
Seeing that the person seemed angry, Boss Jiang hesitated slightly, "Too much?"
Ten taels of silver is too much?
What an ignorant and incompetent fool!
She must have been out of her mind to want to cooperate with this good-for-nothing.
However, sometimes it's easy to invite a god but hard to send him away. Bai Qiaoyin had no idea that if this good-for-nothing was determined to stick to her, she really didn't have any good solutions.
However, being clingy has its advantages.
After learning the identity of this stinky man, Bai Qiaoyin had an idea.
If we let that clingy, obnoxious man cause trouble at Gu's Food Shop...
Since Gu An'an dared to invite Fu Lingshu to seek revenge, she naturally had to teach Gu An'an a lesson.
...
Gu An'an never expected that the Jiang family's messy affairs would involve her.
Jiang's wife, however, looked anxious and said, "I really didn't lie to you."
She didn't seem to listen at all.
“Husband and wife are one, sharing both glory and loss. If Jiang Yongshan finds out about what you’ve done, he might not be able to tolerate you.”
Upon hearing this, Sister-in-law Jiang gave a sorrowful smile, "Is this how he treats me now?"
They were a young couple, married for almost twenty years.
But this man changed his attitude in an instant, and didn't give her any face at all.
"Everyone says he defied his elderly mother for my sake, and that I'm incredibly lucky. But you don't know how selfish and self-serving he is. He's wanted to separate the family for a long time, and he's just using me as an excuse. I have to be grateful to him, otherwise I'd be ungrateful. He's gained both fame and fortune, but he doesn't care about the lives of my mother and me."
She had seen through this man.
Sister-in-law Jiang never imagined that one day she would have to speak so frankly with Gu An'an. "I know you'll find it funny to hear this, and I think so too. I'm an old woman, and I don't want anything in return. I just hope you can help my Qiaoqiao."
When her daughter was mentioned, Sister-in-law Jiang couldn't help but feel anxious. "Even you, Cui Cui, can lend a hand. Please, for the sake of Qiao Qiao and Zhu Er being cousins, save this child."
Gu An'an looked at the hand resting on her arm and carefully moved it away. "Qiaoqiao is his daughter. He won't just ignore her."
"He won't just ignore it, but for the sake of his future, he's going to give his own daughter to the county magistrate as a concubine."
Jiang Da Sao was furious when she mentioned this. When she thought about her daughter's hunger strike after hearing about it, she knelt down before Gu An'an in desperation. "It was my fault before, but it was all my fault. Qiaoqiao did nothing wrong."
Gu An'an stepped aside to avoid it, afraid of shortening her own lifespan.
"Look at what you're saying, does Qiaoqiao really have no bad intentions?"
Jiang's sister-in-law was embarrassed by those words.
That kid has a lot on his mind; he's tried to get back at Gu An'an before.
"Can't you help her out, since I tipped you off?"
Last night, Jiang Yongshan came home drunk, muttering things like, "I'm going to cooperate with you, Manager Bai, to deal with that little bitch Gu An'an."
After thinking about it all night, Sister-in-law Jiang decided to talk to Gu An'an about it and inform her.
How could Gu An'an not appreciate it?
"How do you want me to rescue you? If I take action against Jiang Yongshan, you and your children will be even more helpless. Will you come back to settle scores with me then?"
Gu An'an smiled faintly and took out a piece of silver. "Thank you for tipping me off, but you don't need to go to such trouble in the future. It's not worth it."
Gu An'an was certain that Bai Qiaoyin would deal with her.
As for who she teams up with, it really doesn't make any difference to her.
Jiang's sister-in-law's fuss was completely unnecessary.
Giving her some spare change was already more than enough from Gu An'an.
Seeing this, Sister-in-law Jiang's lips trembled. "You are also a woman who has given birth to children. How can you be so cold-blooded and heartless?"
This displeased Gu An'an. "Who gave birth? Don't talk nonsense."
