Chapter 70 Whoever doesn't come is a dog
Everyone stared in disbelief, utterly silent.
How dare she openly challenge the Empress Dowager of the Xie family? Is this still the timid, stubborn young mistress they know?!
"You... what did you say?!" Madam Xie's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets in astonishment, and her pale face gradually turned a deep purplish-red.
"Or did you consult Master Miaotian and find that Lin Zhixin and your son's birth charts are incompatible?"
Jiang Shiyuan chuckled, laughing at them and at herself, "But all your scheming has been in vain. Marrying me didn't even wake Chairman Xie from his coma."
It seems Master Miaotian is just a charlatan. He should have just married Lin Zhixin directly; his son would have won the heart of a beauty, and he would have had a perfectly satisfactory daughter-in-law. Wouldn't that have been a happy ending for everyone?
All eyes were focused on Jiang Shiyuan's cold and sharp face, and everyone was terrified, sweating bullets for her!
Mr. Xie is a major taboo in the Xie family, and a hideous scar on Mrs. Xie's heart.
If a servant of the Xie family inadvertently mentions or offends someone, they may be kicked out of the Xie family at best, or even be forced to stay in the entire capital city at worst!
Jiang Shiyuan dared to stab Madam Xie in the heart; she must be insane!
"Jiang Shiyuan...you little slut...you finally couldn't hide your true colors anymore!" Madam Xie, who was always elegant and noble, was now practically hysterical!
"For five years, I've tolerated you and didn't want to argue with you. Did you really think I had no temper and was easy to bully?"
Jiang Shiyuan's pale pink lips curled up slightly, "It's not that I'm afraid of the Xie family, I just don't want to lower my own standards."
I don't even care about Xie Jinghuai anymore.
Who do you think you are?
At this moment, Lin Zhixin and Butler Ning, who had heard the arguing, rushed over.
Seeing this tense and anxious scene, one was burning with anxiety, while the other stood in the shadows, revealing a sinister and smug smirk.
"You damned bitch! Your mother couldn't raise you properly, so I'll teach you a lesson in her place!"
Madam Xie glared angrily, her whole body filled with rage, and swung her arm to slap Jiang Shiyuan across the face!
The next second, a loud crack—
Jiang Shiyuan swiftly and decisively grabbed Madam Xie's wrist and then shoved her hard!
"Oh dear—!" Madam Xie staggered back two steps and fell to the ground with a thud, her jade prayer beads flying a long way.
In front of all the servants, she was extremely embarrassed, and Jiang Shiyuan shattered the dignity of the mistress of the house!
"Auntie Xie! How are you? Should we go to the hospital?!"
Lin Zhixin rushed out first and ran to Madam Xie's side, helping her up while angrily condemning Jiang Shiyuan, "Sister! Can't you talk things out properly? How could you lay a hand on Aunt Xie?"
Aunt Xie is not only Jinghuai's mother, but also yours! Don't you care at all about Jinghuai's feelings?!
Jiang Shiyuan glanced at their "deep mother-daughter affection," her eyes devoid of any emotion, even revealing a strong sense of mockery:
“She is Xie Jinghuai’s mother, not my mother. Mother-in-law and mother are never the same thing.”
What are you doing?
Before she could finish speaking, Xie Jinghuai's tall and imposing figure, carrying the chill of late autumn, strode into the living room.
Lin Zhixin's face turned pale with anxiety. "Brother Jinghuai! You're finally back! Aunt Xie fell down! Let's take her to the hospital quickly!"
"Why did you fall down?" The man's sharp brows furrowed as he strode over to Madam Xie and lifted her up with one hand.
"Isn't it all because of this 'good wife' you married that I'm so controlled?!"
Madam Xie's buttocks and back ached, and she was filled with rage, her eyes blazing with fury. "She made Tongtong sick, and her asthma flared up again! I only scolded her a couple of times, and she actually attacked me! It's outrageous!"
Lin Zhixin bit her lip, took a deep breath, as if she had made a great decision:
“Brother Jinghuai, you know me. I never like to meddle in other people’s business, especially their family affairs. But my sister really did make a mistake today. I saw with my own eyes… my sister pushed Aunt Xie.”
Xie Jinghuai pressed his thin lips together, glancing at Jiang Shiyuan's calm face, his handsome features concealing a layer of icy coldness.
Lin Zhixin's voice was trembling with tears, "Although Aunt Xie looks young, she's not exactly young anymore. She might not look seriously injured from the fall, but I'm really worried about her. Brother Jinghuai, please take Aunt Xie to the hospital quickly!"
Jiang Shi was unsure whether to face Xie Jinghuai and turned to leave.
"Jiang Shiyuan!"
Xie Jinghuai strode after her, grabbed her arm, and said in a hoarse voice, "After something like this happened, shouldn't you give me a reasonable explanation?"
"Mr. Xie, are you blind? You saw it all, so what do I need to explain?"
Jiang Shiyuan mustered all her strength and forcefully shook off his hand. "I don't have anything nice to say to you. Are you sure you want to hear it?"
Xie Jinghuai's chest heaved, but his tone was calmer than ever before, "At the very least, you should talk to Mom properly, you should apologize to her. After all, she is your elder."
Madam Xie and Lin Zhixin: "?!"
Xie Jinghuai has always been arrogant and condescending towards Jiang Shiyuan, but why does he seem different today?
And is an apology all it takes? That's a huge loss!
"Oh, an elder?"
Jiang Shiyuan looked at Xie Jinghuai, who suddenly "sexually assaulted her while defecating," but instead of being moved, she smiled even more coldly, ruthlessly, and beautifully, "When I was your wife, she was my elder."
"I'm not going to live with you anymore, so what kind of elder is she to me? Your face, her face, combined, are nothing more than insoles on my left and right feet."
"Jiang Shiyuan, are you pushing your luck?!" Xie Jinghuai's phoenix eyes flashed with intense anger, and his headache was about to flare up.
Madam Xie was so angry that her vision blurred and then went black again.
Everyone's inner monologue: The young mistress is truly a heroine among women; this scene is comparable to the Three Heroes battling Lü Bu!
"Xie Jinghuai, since you love hearing apologies so much, why don't you hire a team of people to apologize to you every day? As long as the money is right, they'll kneel down and kowtow to you, calling you 'father'."
Jiang Shiyuan walked straight to the door, which was illuminated by streetlights, without looking around. She casually tossed out a sentence, "I have an appointment to get the divorce certificate next Monday. Whoever doesn't come is a dog."
Seeing the woman leave in a huff, Xie Jinghuai was about to chase after her when he heard Madam Xie's painful groan behind him:
"Get that bitch out of here! Aaaaaah... my back is going to break!"
...
Madam Xie was taken to the hospital by Xie Jinghuai and Lin Zhixin. She had an X-ray, and everything was fine.
I only gave her a massage and applied some ointment before returning home. After all, Tongtong is still sick and needs someone to stay by her side.
"Brother Jinghuai, I'll stay here tonight and take care of Tongtong for you."
Lin Zhixin's eyes were red, and she spoke softly, "With my sister gone, Aunt Xie has to stay in bed to rest, and you have to work. Tongtong doesn't have a single reliable person by her side... I'm really worried."
And as you know, that child...is very dependent on me.
Xie Jinghuai's phoenix eyes were as deep as ink, and his expression paused slightly.
To him, Lin Zhixin was both his savior and an important work partner. Although she had free access to the Xie family home for the past five years, she had never stayed overnight there.
Xie Jinghuai didn't like Jiang Shiyuan, but she was still his wife, and he should at least show her some respect. Allowing another woman to stay overnight at home was still inappropriate.
But tonight is special.
Xie Jinghuai lowered his eyes and nodded slightly, "Okay, thank you for your trouble. I'll have Butler Ning prepare a room for you."
Lin Zhixin quickly replied, "No need to trouble yourself. I'll stay in Tongtong's room tonight and sleep with him. I can also take care of him if he wakes up at night."
"Okay, that's fine."
Lin Zhixin was overjoyed; this was a golden opportunity!
After tonight, her relationship with Jinghuai and Tongtong will take another leap forward.
"By the way, Brother Jinghuai."
Lin Zhixin hesitated for a moment, then asked with feigned concern, "Who was that man who sat with my sister yesterday? Have you looked into it?"
I saw that they seemed very close and friendly, even…
"How can you tell they're close and friendly? Just because they celebrated the child's birthday together?" Xie Jinghuai said through gritted teeth, his face clouded with smog.
Lin Zhixin was startled by his gaze and couldn't help but panic. "No... me too. I'm also afraid that if word gets out, it will affect you, Brother Jinghuai. I'm also afraid that my sister will be deceived..."
"That kind of despicable stuff isn't worth my time or effort."
With those words spoken coldly, Xie Jinghuai strode away, his long legs conveying a chilling aura.
As Lin Zhixin watched the man's retreating figure, she vaguely sensed that his feelings for Jiang Shiyuan were somewhat different.
A sense of crisis begins to fester in the darkness of one's heart.
