Chapter 2: Let My Daughter Go
Shen Ru shook her head repeatedly.
"No, I did it accidentally."
She pulled Chen Baomei and acted coquettishly, "I accidentally fell, and I didn't want you to worry. Don't be angry."
There are marks on the inside of my arms, how could it be from a fall?
As if she were stupid.
Chen Baomei didn't argue with her any further. "You don't want to tell me, right? I'm going to find Jiang Tianming to settle the score now."
Just as Chen Baomei was about to go out, she was stopped by Shen Ru.
"Mom! I said it's not okay. Tianming is busy with work. Please don't bother him."
"Okay, go ahead."
Chen Baomei went into the house, poured her a glass of water, and sat down in the yard on a small stool.
After hesitating for a moment, Shen Ru said embarrassedly: "Mom, I told you not to spread it outside and don't laugh at me."
Chen Baomei's heart skipped a beat when she heard this.
Then she heard Shen Ru say, "Tian Ming found me a job. He's a contractor, and the boss who assigned him the project, Mr. Tang, has a lover outside..."
"It's...it's just that we're lovers." Afraid that Chen Baomei didn't understand, Shen Ru changed her words.
"His lover got pregnant and gave birth to a son. They couldn't find anyone reliable to take care of him, so Tianming recommended me. If I could take good care of him, Mr. Tang would owe him a big favor. Mr. Tang agreed and handed over a big project he had to Tianming after the baby was one month old."
Seeing Chen Baomei's face becoming increasingly grim, Shen Ru quickly explained, "It's not for nothing. They promised me a salary of 3,000 yuan a month. Although it's not very ethical to serve someone like that during her confinement, it can help Tianming. Tianming said that after the project is completed, we estimate that we can make a profit of more than 500,000 yuan."
Is that Mr. Tang’s lover?
That's obviously the lover of that little bastard Jiang Tianming!
My silly girl, it’s all Jiang Tianming’s money, it’s just transfer from one hand to the right.
Even if you pay him 30,000 or 300,000 yuan, isn't it still your own money?
Only a beast like Jiang Tianming would do such a thing as asking his wife to take care of his lover during his confinement.
Jiang Tianming is so cruel that he can even plot against his own wife like this.
But looking back at herself, isn't Shen Xingguo treating her the same way?
Chen Baomei sighed.
"You haven't told me what happened to your arm injury yet."
Chen Ru hesitated, "Mr. Tang's lover has a bad temper and pinched me a few times. But they are just superficial injuries and will heal in a few days."
“Mom, the project is not easy to do now, and it’s hard to get through the day, so can you please not say anything about going out?”
The mistress actually quarreled with the original wife!
Chen Baomei felt a breath stuck in her throat, and it took her a long time to relax.
She didn't answer, but asked, "Does Jiang Tianming know about your abuse?"
"I didn't tell him because I was afraid he would worry."
Shen Ru considers him in everything, but he treats Shen Ru like this.
Shen Ru originally had a decent job as a middle school teacher.
Although not having a bright future, at least his life was stable. Unfortunately, he met Jiang Tianming later.
When Chen Ru was with Jiang Tianming, Jiang Tianming was still a lazy guy.
She was determined to be with Jiang Tianming, and no one in her family could persuade her.
Unable to persuade their daughter, they finally compromised.
Jiang Tianming's engineering contracting business was built with the support of Shen Ru and the Shen family.
At that time, even Chen Baomei took more than 10,000 yuan, which was all her private money.
Jiang Tianming was also quite smart and he completed the project in no time.
Originally, Shen Ru was doing well at her job, but Jiang Tianming's mother became ill and her health deteriorated, and she could no longer take care of the children. Jiang Tianming advised Shen Ru to resign, go home and concentrate on taking care of the children and her mother-in-law at the same time.
Chen Baomei didn't want Chen Ru to be a full-time housewife and live a life of dependence, so she offered to help Chen Ru take care of the children. Chen Ru could just come to Dongping Village to pick up the children when she was free on weekends.
But Shen Ru was reluctant to be separated from her daughter, so she followed Jiang Tianming's advice and resigned.
More than ten years later, Jiang Tianming achieved some success, but Shen Ru became a despised housewife.
Even Shen Ru's mother-in-law, whom she had taken care of for more than ten years, had some complaints about Shen Ru.
Chen Baomei cursed, "You are so stupid!"
"Mom, Tianming is at a critical moment, and I don't want to cause him any trouble."
Jiang Tianming has always been good at concealing his affairs, and he is also very smooth in his speech. Shen Ru trusts Jiang Tianming very much, and she has never thought that Jiang Tianming would cheat.
That's why they act so extreme after discovering the truth.
Chen Baomei thought about it for a moment. Shen Ru has always been a person who won't cry until she sees the coffin. She won't believe it unless she witnesses the truth with her own eyes.
It’s just right, I should solve my daughter’s problem first, and then go back to deal with Shen Xingguo.
Chen Baomei held Shen Ru's hand in hers, "Xiao Ru, Mr. Tang has a mistress outside, which shows that he is a bad person. If Tian Ming works with him, something bad will happen sooner or later."
"No way?" Shen Ru was suspicious.
"Have you forgotten the son of the old Ma family at the entrance of the village? Just because he was blinded by women outside, he embezzled public funds and went to jail. I think this Mr. Tang will fall sooner or later. It's better to let Tianming break up with him as soon as possible to avoid being affected by him in the future."
Chen Baomei then whispered, "Mom, I have a plan. It will not only make Mr. Tang hand over the project to Tianming, but also allow you to draw a clear line between you and him. You won't have to go to his lover's place and suffer."
Chen Baomei whispered something to her, and Shen Ru's eyes widened.
Shen Ru also knew about the affairs of the old Ma family at the entrance of the village.
Old Ma's son had an extramarital affair and kept a young woman. She was a spendthrift, and as a small-time company executive, he couldn't afford her. So, he took a risk, embezzling hundreds of thousands of yuan in public funds. While he was free to go to jail, his wife was left to clean up the mess, taking care of the children and supporting his elderly parents.
Seeing Chen Ru hesitate, Chen Baomei continued, "Destroying other people's families is immoral. Do you still want to continue to swallow your anger and serve that morally corrupt woman? If I pinch your arm today, won't I be so arrogant and bully you tomorrow?"
Shen Ru herself hated this kind of thing, and she was even more disdainful of associating with such people.
The woman had a bad temper and was of that status, so she didn't want to serve her.
However, since it concerns Jiang Tianming's career, Shen Ru can only do it with a pinch of her nose.
"Mom, how about I discuss this with Tianming?"
Shen Ru took out her cell phone and wanted to call Jiang Tianming, but was held down by Chen Baomei.
"Xiao Ru, don't you want to do something big to make Tian Ming happy?"
In the past, Jiang Tianming was quite nice to Shen Ru, but for the past ten years, Shen Ru has been relying on him for support, so Jiang Tianming inevitably became fickle.
In addition, after making some money, this man became more arrogant and began to look down on Shen Ru in his words and actions.
Shen Ru also wanted to do something to let Jiang Tianming see her own value.
So she gritted her teeth and said, "Okay!"
Chen Baomei smiled.
"It's better to go now than to wait for a day. Let's go now and save you from suffering."
"By the way, my phone is out of battery, so I can use yours for a while."
The mother and daughter took a taxi and went straight to Mr. Tang’s construction company.
Chen Baomei sent a message using Chen Ru's phone and then put the phone into her bag.
They went there at a coincidence and happened to run into Mr. Tang in the lobby downstairs.
In her previous life, Chen Baomei had seen him at the funerals of Shen Ru and Jiang Tianming, and she remembered this person.
As soon as she saw Mr. Tang, Chen Baomei immediately fell to her knees in front of him and burst into tears.
"Mr. Tang, please have mercy on me and let your lover outside let my daughter go!"
Chen Baomei pulled the petrified Shen Ru over and ripped open her sleeves to reveal her scarred arms.
"If you want to find a stable person to take care of your lover during the confinement period, there's no need to use the project to coerce Jiang Tianming and ask his wife to help you take care of the mistress and the child! Your lover is such a scoundrel! My daughter worked so hard to take care of her, but she abused her like this. Mr. Tang, please have mercy on me. Don't use the project to block my son-in-law, and let my daughter go!"
